Each member of the Tigers has a token on their body, which is used to verify their identity.

The gang leader has a gold-plated token, and after Wang Meng became the gang leader, Chen Sheng handed over this thing to him as proof that Wang Meng was the new gang leader.

Qin Yuesheng touched the token in his hand that was bigger than a palm, and said to himself: "Tiger Gang, you gang are really endless, it seems that Qingyang City can't keep you." ”

Putting down the token, Qin Yuesheng immediately picked up the small jar, which contained two pills the size of a dragon's eye, and the smell was quite fragrant, but because he didn't know its medicinal effects, Qin Yuesheng didn't dare to take it rashly.

After all, he didn't know if he would get the all-powerful essence or burp directly if he relied on the super auxiliary device to eat the poisonous pill.

This kind of thing is not to be gambled on.

As for the pure gold insole, Qin Yuesheng asked Chunfeng to take it for washing, and after it was melted down in the future, it could be used as funds to buy pills.

At present, Qingyang City has not purchased a large amount of pills, Qin Yuesheng plans to choose a day to take a break and go to Yangzhou Mansion to buy a lot, of course, the premise must be that the funds are in place, and the price of a good pill is not cheap.

"Young Master. ”

At this time, Cao Zhengchun walked in from outside the house, that kind of thing had just happened in the house, and Qin Yuesheng asked Cao Zhengchun to see Qin Feng's reaction.

Although he didn't know why this matter, Qin Yuesheng could guess that the king must have killed the Qin Mansion because of himself, after all, when he was killing people, he had been shouting at the Qin family to come out to see him.

"Young master, the master is not in the mansion, and neither is the second lady. Cao Zhengchun said.

"Oh? ”

"Listen to Ah Fu, who served the master, and Ah Xiang, who served the second lady, said that there was a cargo ship under the Qin family that had gone to Chang'an to transport goods this morning, and the lord and the second lady went to pick up the ferry. ”

"Oh. Qin Yuesheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that they are not in the mansion, I said that there was such a big movement just now, why didn't I see them." ”

Handing the small jar to Cao Zhengchun, Qin Yuesheng said: "Go and do something for me again, take this to Dr. Hua to check it to see if it is poisonous and harmful to the human body, and if not, take it back." ”

"Yes. ”

......

Gusu Wharf.

Qingyang City is close to the Gusu River, and there are merchants from the south to the north, so the water transportation is very developed.

This time, Qin Feng specially asked people to go to Chang'an to purchase the cargo ship to arrive, and he naturally wanted to come to the dock to check it in person.

As the head of the Qin family, of course, ordinary goods did not need Qin Feng to end up in person, but this time the cargo ship came in from Chang'an with expensive jade and wood, with a total value of more than four thousand taels of gold.

This amount of money is not a small amount for the Qin family, so Qin Feng is particularly concerned.

Standing at the dock with Duan Hongjin, in the upper reaches of the Gusu River, a two-story cargo ship slowly approached, with a three-pole flag at the bow of the ship, with the big character 'Qin'.

The ship leans on the sail, and the sail borrows the wind, but it flies all the way in.

"Sir, the ship is coming. Duan Hongjin said softly.

"Hmm. Qin Feng nodded, and his body, which had been tense, was also a lot more relaxed.

The merchant ship approached the dock, and the whole view was in the eyes of everyone on the shore, but strangely, at this moment, there was not a single crew member on the deck, and the whole ship was quite quiet.

This situation is extremely abnormal, generally speaking, after docking, anchoring, lanyarding, and sailing are necessary operations, otherwise the ship will hit the dock, or continue to drift downstream without restrictions.

"Old lady be careful!"

Immediately, there were guards who pulled Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin apart, and in the blink of an eye, they saw that the cargo ship slammed into the edge of the dock, directly knocking out a large number of cracks in the bluestone of the dock.

If Qin Feng hadn't left a distance, I'm afraid it would have been dangerous.

"What's the situation, how come there is not even a single person who has broken down. The Qin family boatmen who were guarding the dock raised questions one after another.

Several people who reacted quickly immediately took out the shore emergency rope hook and threw it at the ship, and quickly climbed to the deck by fixing the cargo ship fence, ready to board the ship and anchor.

However, the moment they first stepped onto deck, the boatmen were stunned.

What appeared in front of them was a piece of human skin scattered everywhere.

The numbness of the scalp and the cold back are the best portrayal of them at the moment.

"What's the waiter, what's the fuss? Don't hurry up and fix the boat. A Qin family supervisor standing on the dock immediately shouted.

"Dead, dead, all dead on here. ”

"Huh?" Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin glanced at each other.

Even if they hadn't seen the situation on the deck, they already felt that something was wrong at the moment.

"Secure the boat, lower the wooden ladder and let us go up and have a look. Qin Feng said.

Those boatmen ate the Qin family's food, naturally had to do things, even if they were scared in their hearts, they still did it obediently, and soon as several heavy iron anchors were thrown out of the deck and fell into the water, the cargo ship suddenly stabilized, and a piece of hemp rope as thick as an adult's wrist was thrown onto the dock.

The boatmen who remained at the dock hurriedly tied the hemp ropes to the iron rods embedded in the ground of the pier, so that the ship was completely controlled.

Seeing a wooden ladder made of square boards being slowly lowered, Qin Feng said to Duan Hongjin, "Don't go up, just stay here and wait for me." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When he stepped onto the deck, Qin Feng understood why those boatmen were so flustered.

The scene in front of him was really not something that ordinary people could bear, even if Qin Feng, as the head of the Qin family, still couldn't help but feel cold when he saw the human skin in that place, and he was a little speechless.

"Sir, there are twenty-three human skins on the deck, all of them are crew members of this ship. After checking it, the guard walked back and reported.

Qin Feng: "What about the cabin, have you checked inside the ship?"

"Not yet. ”

"Hurry up and check. ”

"Yes. ”

Looking at the human skin on this deck, Qin Feng's face was solemn.

After being the head of the Qin family for so many years, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing.

Who is it that is so cruel that he would do such a vicious thing?

Water bandits, or river bandits?

After a short time, the guards who had entered the cabin came out.

"Master, there are dozens of human skins in it, and besides that......" The guard's tone was stunned, and he was a little hesitant to say it.

"Go on. Qin Feng said.

"There is a room, which is full of the corpses of the crew who have lost their skin, but it is very strange, their corpses are all like paste glued to the wall, and they can't be pried off, and the other ......" The guard touched his nose and said with some reluctance: "The jade stored in the cabin has all turned into powder." ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, instantly turning Qin Feng's face pale in shock.

The reason why he came to the dock in person was not because the goods transported by water were too valuable.

Unexpectedly, the worst case scenario still appeared.

"Report to the official, go and report to the official. ”

......

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and the waves rise and the lake and the sea swing.

The Qin family's incident quickly spread in Qingyang City.

You can control your own mouth, but you can't control other people's.

I don't know who was the first to leak out, so that many people knew what happened on the Qin family's cargo ship.

Human skin, skinless bloody corpses, jade turned into powder.

These three things spread more and more widely, and the more outrageous they became, many theories soon appeared in the market.

One of the most recognized statements was that the Qin family's cargo ship offended the Sea Dragon King, so the Sea Dragon King's subordinate Sea Yaksha came to punish the crew.

It also happens that skinning people is the rumored method of Haiyasha to punish fishermen.

In less than a day, this matter has become more and more mysterious, and at the same time, many old men and women have walked to the bank of the Gusu River with various tributes, throwing things into the river, and begging for forgiveness from the Sea Dragon King.

And the Qin family's cargo ship, the government's catch fast has already controlled it, and idle people are not allowed to approach within a radius of five hundred steps, and many good people stand outside the forbidden line to watch, but they can only see a few fast catchers wandering back and forth on the deck.

"Xing Zhutou, this doesn't look like a human thing was done. ”

"Xiao Liu, tell me your understanding of this matter. ”

"I think there must be something strange about this. ”

Xing Biao: "......"

Liu Xiaoliu: "......"

In the room stained with skinless blood corpses, several catchers with white cloths tied to their faces were looking around the room for clues.

All of them are senior hunters in the yamen of Qingyang City for many years, and they have seen a lot of tragedies and bloody cases.

The number of times really affected the efficiency of the case, and Xing Biao, as the leader of the team, asked all the old arresters to come in to investigate the case, while the new arresters went outside to guard, and the people were not allowed to get close to the boat.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, Xing Biao turned his head to look, and saw Xun Sheng appear outside the door, holding a handkerchief to cover his nose and ask, "How is it?"

Xing Biao said: "My lord, these bloody corpses were all stripped off fluently with sharp weapons, and they look very similar to the methods of the famous thief 'bloody hand butcher' in Jiangnan back then, but it is not yet certain that he did it." ”

Xun Sheng asked, "How long have these people been dead?"

"I'm still judging, and I don't know at the moment. ”

Looking at the blood-red room in front of him, and the bloody corpses stuck to the wall like spiders, Xun Sheng couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously touched the jade wrench he wore on his thumb.

I really can't watch this scene in front of me for a long time, and it's hard to see too much to avoid sleeping nightmares at night.

Just as Xun Sheng was about to return to the deck, he suddenly heard a slight loosening of a wooden board under his feet, and he didn't see any reaction, a bloody arm suddenly broke out from under the plank, and grabbed Xun Sheng's ankle.

Rumble!

With the appearance of a hollow hole on the ground, Xun Sheng himself had disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"
