Chapter 158

An Jiu doesn't ignore the idea of taking the world as her own responsibility, so she may not be able to understand the stability of the world or something, Chu Dingjiang doesn't say that anymore, but if she can't find a direction, it will inevitably be like this when she performs tasks in the future, "In my hometown, the countries are fighting frequently, and it is common for friends and enemies to be friends and enemies, and ordinary soldiers are like you, and they don't understand what to fight for, but in the shadow of the sword and sword, if you hesitate for a moment and take a step back, you will die." Since you have come to this path, if you can't be unintentional, let yourself be ruthless. ”

"Got it." An Jiudao.

Ruthless, she has it, otherwise she would not have made a decision so quickly when facing Li Ting.

Galloping.

Two days later, in the evening, the two successfully arrived at Yingtianfu.

Chu Dingjiang found a private inn to settle in. The two washed off their dust, changed into clean robes, and found a secluded place to eat in the hall of the inn, and listened to the news by the way.

The news that more than 100 people had been killed overnight on the river quickly spread all over the river, and the entire Jingxi and West Roads were boiling, and the 800-mile rush to Bianjing overnight.

The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and most of the Song people were very gentle, and generally one or two people died in a big case, and hundreds of people died quietly, which was a big case that had not been seen in the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years!

The lobby is full of food and drinks mixed into a unique flavor, and it is noisy and bustling, and nine times out of ten it is talking about this horrific murder.

"Huh? What clues have you found in the official uniform? ”

The sound of conversation at the adjacent table attracted the attention of Chu Dingjiang and An Jiu.

I only heard another person immediately say, "It's only been one day, how can there be any clues?" That section of the river was quite wide, surrounded by fields, and the nearest ship to the place of the incident was two miles away. They said that they vaguely heard a noise on the boat in the middle of the night, and they thought that it was only at dawn that they found that the ship was on fire and that they knew that something had happened to them. ”

Two miles away, if there is a loud noise or abnormality. It should have been able to be discovered, but this was a small-scale secret attack, and there was not much movement, at first there were many onlookers on the deck who thought it was a conflict between the madman and Lu Danzhi, and they did not shout for help to other ships, no one expected that things would take a turn for the worse, their life and death were only between Yelu Huangwu's thoughts, and those people in the bottom compartment were even more innocent, and they didn't know what happened to Lu Dao until they died.

"When the government arrived, the fire was too big. After the extinguishing, the planks of the ship were scattered, and many corpses were washed away by the river, and I heard that eighty or ninety bodies have been cleaned up now. ”

When the ship departed, the cargo and the number of people on it would be recorded at the dock, and there were 144 people on the ship, but now that the ship is scattered, no one knows whether there are any survivors, whether it was the people on the boat, or whether someone hijacked the ship.

The government is now searching the wharves along the river with all its might. If someone hijacks a ship, there will be traces to follow.

The man took a sip of wine and sighed, "Alas! Such a big deal. There must be a lot of power behind it, not all of them have been like this in these years, the superiors are fighting, and the dead are innocent people. ”

The other chimed in. "Exactly! This gangster is really hateful, he has such a ability not to fight against Liaogou, and he actually did such a murderous thing! ”

These scholars probably never thought about it. The Liao people can not only swagger in and out of Bianjing, but also dare to spread wild on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!

An Jiu turned his face slightly, and saw the two white-faced young men sitting at the adjacent table, with a graceful demeanor, but it is estimated that he can't lift his hands or shoulders.

She looked around, and most of the people sitting in the room were like this, no matter what they looked like, they all put on a graceful appearance.

Chu Dingjiang knew what she was looking at, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "That's it, I can slap a piece to death." ”

An Jiu said with a flat expression, "This son, you pay attention to your speech and demeanor. ”

Chu Dingjiang said that he was the noble son of Hua's, and he was often ruthlessly ridiculed and sarcastic by An Jiu.

"Back then, a Confucian disciple could slap a piece to death." Chu Dingjiang was dissatisfied, how normal this was in the Warring States, and Confucians also had bloody and barbaric times.

An Jiu snorted softly in his nose, how did it sound like mockery.

Chu Dingjiang drank helplessly.

The two listened to the news in the lobby for a while and then returned to their rooms.

After resting for a night, the two directly abandoned the waterway, rode horses and walked on the official road, and settled in the government-run post station generously, not afraid of interrogation.

All the way to Jiangning Mansion smoothly.

Chu Dingjiang found a private boat and took a boat with An Jiu to Yangzhou.

Due to the big case of hundreds of people being killed on the river, the checkpoints on the road were very strict, and it took more than a month for the two to arrive at a private ferry port in Yangzhou.

This is the largest wharf in Yangzhou City in addition to the government-run wharf, and it is the industry of a ship merchant in Yangzhou.

At night, lanterns were lit on the wharf, rows of goods were like long queues, many cargo ships docked on the shore waiting to unload, and the foreman stood on the board with a whip to supervise the laborers moving goods, and from time to time waved the whip and scolded.

Chu Dingjiang and An Jiu passed by, and saw him raise his foot and kick a thin old man to the ground, and he was pressed under a big bag that was more than the old man.

Seeing that he hadn't gotten up for a long time, the foreman couldn't help but raise his leg and kick it again, scolding, "If you want to die, Lao Tzu will climb out of the dock and die!" Bad luck! ”

The old man's gray hair was scattered, and he struggled for a long time, and the green tendons on his hands burst out, and he couldn't stop trembling, but unfortunately he couldn't push away the heavy object.

When Chu Dingjiang walked by, he lifted the heavy object with his hand.

Lao Suo kowtowed to him gratefully, and hurriedly walked down tremblingly with the goods on his back.

The two of them carried their burdens and walked through the docks.

People along the way, consciously or unconsciously, will look at them.

An Jiu frowned slightly, and followed Chu Dingjiang behind him.

There is a small town near here, because of its proximity to the wharf, it is a place that never sleeps, and the restaurant and inn are closed at midnight, but after midnight, the inn will also accept people who stay in the hotel.

The two of them took a turn around the town first, the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River flowed, the white walls of Daiwa, and even the name of the tavern inn was unique. Eventually, they stayed at a private inn called "Cui Linglong". This shop is medium-sized in the town, with more than ten rooms, a hollow-shaped building, a small courtyard in the middle, in which flowers and plants are sparse, and there is a small pond in the corner, in which a dozen fat tail koi are raised.

Xiao Er led the way with a lantern, led the two through the verandah, and walked up a steep and narrow staircase to the second floor.

"Two guest officers, there are only these two left."

The two rooms are opposite, separated by a courtyard, Xiao Er opened the door of the gatehouse in front of him first, "This room is near the river, it is a little bigger, it is close to the dock, and it is a little noisy." The other room is quiet, but there is no bath, if you want to bathe, you have to go to the bath room on the first floor......" (to be continued......
