Chapter 7586 Encounter
Outside Linze City.
On the river outside the fishing village.
Medium-sized fishing boats are already the largest fishing boats in small fishing villages.
There is no comparison with the new warships under Luo Xingchen.
It can be said that with a single touch of a new warship, one hundred and eighty fishing boats can be easily smashed into a pile of wooden debris.
The power of fishing boats is neither sails nor the latest steam engines, but human oars.
The people responsible for paddling are A Xi and A Yuan. The two sisters are both very capable. If you don’t look at their faces and only look at their backs, they have the temperament of a fisherman girl.
"Sir, I feel that the murderer may not be the same person." Mo Anbai sat on the bow of the boat and said slowly.
“Judging from the technique, how many people will do it together?”
"There are about three or four people. The distinction is not clear. Some of the techniques are different, but maybe they are performed by the same person."
"Are you sure there is no master?"
"No, Young Master, If there was, the slave family would not dare to go."
Mo Anbai said.
“I look at those people, they have sallow faces and thin muscles, and they look like they haven’t had enough to eat for a long time. No matter what the reason, the murderer killed so many ordinary people, it is simply crazy.”
Luo Xingchen's eyes flashed with coldness.
No one wants to see something like this happen.
But now that it has happened, he wants to seek justice for the people. This is the most basic conscience of a normal human being.
"Master, it should not be far from the place where the body was dumped." Mo Anbai said.
"How did you know that?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"Those corpses flowed down the river. If they were far away, then the fishing villages in front had already fished out the corpses, and it was unlikely that they would continue to float downstream." Mo Anbai said.
"What will happen if we let them drift downstream?" Luo Xingchen said.
"The government will arrest all the villagers who have seen the floating corpses along the way..." Mo Anbai pursed his lips.
"Does the government still dare to kill all the villagers? There are probably tens of thousands of fishermen along the way." Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes.
No matter how crazy the government is, how can they dare to kill tens of thousands of fishermen?
"It is true that the government will not kill fishermen, but they will extort money and make the fishermen pay to buy a kind of coupon, called an atonement coupon."
"Those fishermen with relatively strong family assets will be used to redeem themselves by this atonement coupon." Most of the coupons were looted, and some particularly poor fishermen were even sold by their families," Mo Anbai sighed.
"A harsh government is fiercer than a tiger. It seems that the government in Linze City has reached a point where it can no longer survive without rectification. Miss Bai, I will write a note and have it sent to the capital as quickly as possible, so that the emperor can send someone to Linze City. , handle matters here."
Luo Xingchen said.
"Okay, Master still has a way." The corners of Mo Anbai's lips curved.
"Sister, there is a big ship ahead!" Suddenly, A Yuan shouted loudly.
Actually, she didn’t need to say anything, both Mo Anbai and Luo Xingchen saw the big ship in front of them.
The ship is very tall, with many patterns carved on the hull, and the cabin is like a three-story pavilion, with lanterns hanging on the eaves. It looks like a cruise ship belonging to a wealthy family.
"The murderer is related to that ship!" Mo Anbai's eyes suddenly tightened.
"Are we getting close?" Luo Xingchen asked.
He didn't ask why Mo Anbai concluded that the murderer was related to the ship.
That's an obvious thing.
Hundreds of corpses floated down from the upper reaches. If they floated down from above, would the cruise ship not be able to see them?
Will you turn a blind eye if you see it?
Unlikely.
The most likely possibility is that those corpses were killed by people on the ship!
“Don’t get close to it, it’s too dangerous.”
After learning that it was such a big ship, Mo Anbai changed his mind. "Axi, Ayuan, please move the bow of the boat, let the boat go around the big ship, and continue to go upstream." Mo Anbai said.
“Okay!”
A Yuan and A Xi worked hard together to slightly change the direction of the ship, just passing by the big ship.
On the big ship.
A young man stood on the side, wearing a brocade robe with a lazy expression and holding a folding fan in his hand.
Beside him, a charming woman peeled off the skin of a grape with her fingers and stuffed the grape flesh into the young man's mouth.
Behind the young man, stood two swordsmen in their thirties.
Their faces are as sharp and angular as marble carvings, their finger joints are also very prominent, and their temples are high, showing that they have deep skills.
"Master Long, look at the man on that boat..." The woman smiled coquettishly and pointed to the side with her hand.
"What's wrong with that man?" Master Long raised his eyebrows, enjoying the delicious juice of the Western Region grapes in his mouth.
“That man looks like a dog.” Chu Xue smiled so hard that her branches trembled.
“Well, not bad, it really looks like a dog!”
Master Long took a careful look and saw a man standing on the bow of the boat with a stooped back and a bunch of pockmarks on the side of his face, and nodded.
“No, that boat came from downstream.”
Master Long’s eyes suddenly narrowed, he moved his palm, closed the folding fan in his palm, and hit the boat with a snap on the railing along.
"Haoyangqing, go take a look and ask them what they saw!" Master Long said coldly.
“Yes, Master.”
A swordsman behind him responded.
Soon, he got off the boat from the side, came to the edge, and stepped on a small boat tied to the side of the big ship.
Haoyang Qing picked up the wood pulp and pushed hard, and the boat flew forward like an arrow from the string.
Seeing the wooden boat in front of me getting closer and closer.
Haoyangqing stepped hard on the boat with his soles. With the recoil of the boat's upward bounce, he fully exercised his Qing Gong. His whole figure looked like a big bird, spreading its wings and leaping into the air.
It landed right on the deck of the fishing boat ahead.
He glanced at the hunched man standing on the deck, and said coldly: "Are you fishermen coming from downstream?"
As he asked, he looked around A glance at the cabin.
He saw three women in the cabin. They all had yellow and thin faces, and their faces were covered with pockmarks. They looked like they were sick.
"Ahem, yes, sir, we are all fishermen. Among them are my three sisters. They had a strange disease a few days ago. I thought, row a boat and go to the city to give it to me. Our sister is going to see a doctor." The pockmarked man coughed twice.
"Have you seen anything special along the way?" Haoyangqing asked.
"I've seen..." the pockmarked man coughed, "Ahem!"
"What?" Haoyangqing's voice raised.
"Sir, your ship is very beautiful." said the pockmarked man.
"Okay, let's go quickly."
After asking this, Haoyangqing thought that was enough. He waved his hand, and then Haoyangqing covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves in disgust.
Then he turned around and left, still in a hurry.
When he returned to the big boat, the fishing boat in front had disappeared from sight.
