Chapter 288: Rumors
γYunxuan PavilionγProvide you with the fastest update!
On the second deck, there are many merchants standing to watch the excitement, among which there are also Xue Meier's delicate and delicate figures.
She leaned on the side of the boat, her eyes were complicated to look at the tall inky figure below, watching him stand up for another woman so diligently, she couldn't tell whether it was sour or astringent, in short, it was not a taste.
Suddenly, I felt a warmth on my shoulders, and it turned out that Fu'er was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she brought a feather gauze satin cloak.
Fu'er glanced at the chaotic crowd below, and said, "I didn't expect that Young Lady Huo to look good, but secretly she was so ruthless.
When I passed by the cabin where the accident had occurred, I took a look and saw that it had been turned over in a terrible mess, and all the valuable items were exposed.
The two bodies lay upright on the ground, and one of the dead was a pregnant woman with a child. β
"Pregnant woman?" Xue Mei'er covered her mouth and exclaimed, she blinked her round eyes, and her expression was as delicate and innocent as a child: "How can someone do anything to a pregnant woman, it is a corpse with two lives, which is extremely damaging to yin morality." Fu'er, you must be mistaken. β
Fu'er pursed her lips, and while deftly tying a cloak ribbon for her, she muttered: "Girl, you are too soft-natured, and you always feel that as long as you greet her with a smile, you are a good person."
In the past few days, I have seen that Mrs. Huo Shao messing around at the gambling table and losing a lot of silver, maybe it was because she saw that she was interested in making money, so she made a black hand on that lady. β
"Shhh β
It's just that her warning at this time was inevitably late, and what Fu'er wanted to say had already shaken out all of her brains.
Fu'er pouted and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Girl, have you forgotten that when we first met the Huo couple, they lived in a low-class room on the first floor.
As a result, within half an hour, they moved to the upper room on the second floor. If you think about it, you can see what it means. β
Xue Mei'er's eyes rolled flexibly, and she suddenly exclaimed, "Are you saying that they deliberately moved from the lower room to the upper room for the sake of ......" She covered her mouth and did not say the rest of the words. However, her slightly frightened appearance still fully showed what she wanted to express.
The shipwrecks who heard the questions and answers of the master and servant began to discuss, and the content was nothing more than what the origin of this young lady of the Huo family was and why she mixed in with them.
The more rumors come out, the more outrageous they become. In the end, the Huo family and his wife have become the river and ocean thieves in their mouths, and they got on this ship just to wait for the opportunity to kill people and seize money.
You must know that the guests who can stay in this first-class room have a lot of net worth, and the common problem of these people is that they value their lives very seriously. When they feel that their lives and property are threatened, a sense of unease and anger begins to creep in among these self-esteemed guests.
On the lower deck, there was less and less silver in the chests. I have to say that Xiao Fengnan's method is extremely effective, with silver as bait, those who work in the black on the boat also come out from all directions. They also walked in front of Hua Lianyue and successfully received the reward from Xiao Fengnan.
However, Xiao Fengnan had a more heart, asked the steward to point out the foreman who was responsible for managing the black workers, and gave him an extra reward, and then asked him to write down the names of all the black workers who had received the money.
Seeing that the silver box was about to bottom, Liu Hui couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, has everyone come to receive the silver?"
The steward glanced at the roster and replied, "All the people on my side have arrived, but I don't know what happened to him." β
The foreman was sweating profusely and counted the names on the paper sticks, counting them three times in a row before he replied, "There are still two people left on my side." β
Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue's eyes lit up, and they asked almost at the same time, "Which two?" Liu Hui then asked, "Are there any novices on the ship for the first time?"
The foreman thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, there is a young man named Yu Wu who is a freshman. β
Hua Lianyue hurriedly said: "He is seventeen or eighteen years old, his skin is yellow but delicate, and there is no trace of labor. His face ......"
Hua Liyue thought hard and said slowly: "His face is very ordinary, and there are no features, but his eyebrows are very thick, as if they have been drawn with charcoal, and there are three black moles on the back of his left neck, one large and two small, arranged side by side. β
As she described it more clearly, the foreman's eyes slowly widened. The steward said with admiration on his face: "The young lady really has a good memory, and it is as real as seeing it with her own eyes." β
Xiao Fengnan's eyes lit up and said, "Is there really this person among those black workers?"
The foreman put down the brush in his hand and said, "Yes, the young lady's description is eight points similar to that Yu Wu." He was indeed a novice, and had found it himself the day before the fleet had set off.
At that time, I saw that he was thin and tender, as if he had not done any heavy work, so I did not want to accept him.
He had been begging and willing to cut half of his wages, and I saw that he was so pitiful that I reluctantly accepted it. Along the way, I saw that he was still honest, so I only gave him the cleaning work. Could it be that he caused this incident?"
Hua Lianyue knew very well that what self-lowered wages and what was honest was that it must be the one named Yu Wu who secretly promised to give half of the salary, and the foreman was willing to take him on the boat.
It is said that he is willing to do this errand far away from home, all for the purpose of that expensive payment. The black work does not earn much, and if it is reduced by half, it will become even less pitiful, and there is no need to work hard to run this trip.
And it was found before the fleet set off, and its purpose became more and more suspicious. Hua Lianyue is almost certain that this mysterious Yu Wu must be one of the insiders even if he is not the murderer, as long as this person is found, the cause of death of Mrs. Xi and Li Ruxiang can be revealed.
Xiao Fengnan had already taken out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, he held it high and shouted: "You all listen well, whoever can bring Yu Wu intact to the young lady will be whose stack of silver tickets is." β
"Wow!" everyone looked greedily at the silver ticket in his hand, and with sharp eyes, they saw that the top one was a silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels. Even if the bottom is all blank paper, this silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels is enough to make these boatmen who only earn two taels of silver a month crazy.
Xiao Fengnan smiled and watched these people in front of him disperse quickly like a tide, he was sure that with these people as helpers, that Yu Wu was destined to be unable to hide.
Xiao Fengnan looked sideways at Hua Lianyue, the silver ticket in his hand was shaken, and he smiled like an inviter: "How about it, my method is good! β
Hua Lianyue nodded and said, "Thank you so much!"
Xiao Fengnan became more and more proud when he got her thanks, he squinted at Liu Hui with a flat face, and said happily: "It turns out that it is not very difficult to investigate the case, and I blame that I didn't like to read when I was young, otherwise I will be able to be a Qingtian lord who punishes evil and promotes good, and maybe he can be famous for my Xiao family." β
Look at him with a triumphant look and his eyebrows fluttering. , Liu Hui inexplicably felt very dazzling, so he snorted lightly and said: "Boss Xiao, don't be complacent too early, this case should have been secretly investigated, but you insisted on paving the road with money, and the momentum was so huge." It would be good if Yu Wu could be found earlier, but if that kid was alert and well hidden, I was afraid that these boatmen who were red-eyed by the bounty would bring a lot of turmoil to this cargo ship carrying hundreds of people. β
The smug smile on Xiao Fengnan's face suddenly froze, and then he glanced at Liu Hui and said stiffly: "I don't believe how much trouble he can make alone." Besides, everyone on this ship is looking for him, and he will definitely be found out soon. β
Liu Hui's eyes gradually became dark and dull, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that dogs can jump off the wall in a hurry, besides, he is still a big living person, and we don't know how many of his accomplices are hidden on this ship." β
Hua Lianyue also showed a trace of worry on her face, Xiao Fengnan had made decisions without her impulsive temperament before, she had no time to stop it, and now she could only hope that things would not become out of control.
At this moment, her heart was also secretly tugging, hoping that Yu Wu would be found as soon as possible, so that everything could settle within the smallest range of influence.
Feng Qi took a step forward and whispered in Liu Hui's ear: "Master, do we want to summon people?"
Liu Hui hesitated for a moment and looked at Hua Lianyue. Hua Lianyue sighed and nodded at him. Liu Hui stretched out his hand to hold her somewhat cold little hand before bowing slightly to Feng Qi.
Feng Qi didn't hesitate any longer, he took out a sealed bamboo tube from his waist and lit it with a fire breaker. In just a moment, a piercing scream suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's sideways.
I saw that the bamboo tube in Feng Qi's hand flashed with sparks and then a thick smoke came out, followed by an orange light with black smoke rising into the sky and reaching into the sky.
The orange light was extremely conspicuous and dazzling on the vast river, and even if there were equally tall cargo ships in front and behind, it would not escape the sight of those who cared.
Hua Liyue raised her white cheeks and watched quietly as the dragon-like smoke in the air gradually dissipated, she knew that the days of peace were over. But this stolen good time will always remain in her memory.
Not only was she watching, Liu Hui, Feng Qi, and Xiao Fengnan were also watching, and even the guests who were originally leaning on the side of the second-floor boat to watch the excitement were also watching quietly.
After a long time, the smoke had cleared, and there was no trace left in the sky. Liu Huicai lowered his head and said to Hua Lianyue: "After tossing for so long, you should be tired, go back and rest for a while to warm up." β
"Okay!" Hua Lianyue raised her hand and brushed the broken hair that was blown in front of her forehead behind her ears, and then said with a wry smile: "Now we don't seem to have any other way than to wait for news." β
"I'll go too!" Xiao Fengnan ignored Feng Qi's white eyes, and said with great interest: "I'll go to your house and wait for news." β
Liu Hui glanced at him, too lazy to bother with him, only took Hua Lianyue and turned upstairs.
Only went up to the second floor, and Xue Meier, accompanied by Fu'er, walked towards her with a smile. Her eyes are round and bright, and her cheeks are faintly flushed, which is really eye-catching. She quietly glanced at Xiao Fengnan, and then smiled Yingying: "I've seen Young Master Huo, I've seen Young Lady." β
Hua Lianyue raised her hand and helped her, and said politely: "Miss Mei'er doesn't have to be so polite. She had already heard Xiao Fengnan say that she knew that although this Xue Mei'er girl was a leader in the Fengyue field in the past, she was now his right-hand man in business.
It's just that she has been hiding in her room for the past few days, so Hua Liyue rarely has the opportunity to meet her face-to-face.
Xue Mei'er straightened her waist and bowed slightly to Xiao Fengnan who was following behind, and said softly: "Boss Xiao!"
At this moment, Xiao Fengnan did not have the swagger of the previous jump, he stood with his hands in his hands, his expression was calm, and his eyes were calm. It seems that he has become the big high-roller who vowed to open Wufu Tower all over Eastern Qin.
He nodded to Xue Mei'er and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to be so polite. I heard Fu'er say that you have been infected with wind and cold in the past few days, and now you are getting better?"
Xue Mei'er pursed her lips and said a little shyly: "Thank you Boss Xiao for your concern, I'm much better now, but I still have some cough at night." Because her body was not angry, she was afraid that she would pass her illness to the distinguished guests, so Mei'er kept hiding in the room and didn't dare to come out. If you wait slowly, please don't blame a few people!" The last two sentences, she obviously said to Hua Lianyue and Liu Hui.
Without waiting for Hua Lianyue to respond, Xiao Fengnan had already opened her mouth first: "The two of them have been friends with me for many years, you don't need to treat them as guests, just be comfortable!"
"Got it!"
Xue Mei'er responded crisply, her round eyes purred on Xiao Fengnan's body, extremely bright, as if there was spring light flowing, and with a little lingering. At this moment, even if she is blind, she can see her deep affection for Xiao Fengnan.
It's a pity that Xiao Fengnan, who has been rolling in the wind and moon field all the year round, is really blind at this moment, and he is actually facing such a superb beauty?
