Walking to the narrow passage on the side of the passenger ship, Yu Xun jumped into the small boat hooked up with the passenger ship, and slowly went.

However, in the other direction of the passenger ship, seven small boats were slowly approaching the passenger ship.

Not long after, the small boat approached the big boat, and the black-clothed men on the boat threw out their hooks and climbed onto the big boat.

A man who had just gotten up to greet himself walked down the ship's pathway with his sleepy eyes open.

Suddenly, a dark shadow next to him jumped up from under the eaves of the ship.

The man looked at the man in black for a second, and then opened his mouth and was about to shout loudly.

The man in black was quick and stabbed him in the neck, then caught his fallen body and gently placed it on the ground.

Yuwen Xiao, who was meditating in the cabin, moved his ears, slowly stood up, took the saber on the table, and left his cabin.

After walking a few steps, he came to the door of another cabin and knocked on the door: "Miss Du? Miss Du? ”

There was no movement in the cabin.

He frowned secretly, couldn't it be that Miss Du fled with her junior brother after hearing the movement? After thinking about it, he headed in the direction of the bow.

Not long after Yuwen Xiao left, the two hatches opposite Li Ruozhen opened, but Yuan An and Wang Ying came out.

"Sure enough, they are still here, young master, I will go to meet the enemy." Wang Ying said coldly.

"No, you go back to the cabin to protect Yuxiu, and I'll deal with them."

Wang Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Young master, there are many of them, and you are alone......"

"Obey orders!" Under the moonlight, I saw that Yuan An's complexion was different from the daylight, and he looked very cold.

"Subordinates obey." Wang Ying fell to his knees on one knee.

Yuan An didn't say anything more, slowly drew out the wide sword at his waist, and walked towards the bow of the boat.

"I wish the young master martial arts prosperity." Wang Ying said to his back.

After speaking, he opened the hatch and returned to the cabin.

After a while, Lu Yuan's hatch suddenly opened, and he and Li Ruozhen walked out of it at the same time.

Lu Yuan glanced left and right, and wondered, "Why didn't I hear the sound of fighting?" ”

Li Ruozhen shook his head and sighed: "Senior brother, you should really practice kung fu if you have time, the sound of the bow of the boat, everyone else hears it, but you can't hear it." ”

I am so busy, where can I have time to practice martial arts, Lu Yuan thought to himself.

"Then let's go over and take a look, maybe it's the escaped bandits in Yangjia Town."

With that, the two of them also headed towards the bow of the boat.

After a while, another hatch opened, and Shui Mengyao walked out, with a puzzled look on her face, she listened carefully for a while, and sure enough, there was a sound of fighting.

She was shocked, could it be that Yu Xun was discovered by others and regarded as a water thief, so the fight started.

She hurried back to the cabin to get her saber and headed for the bow.

Standing on the narrow passage on the side of the big ship, seeing the two men lying in front of him, Lu Yuanxin was a little dignified.

By the moonlight, you can see an ordinary merchant on the left, his neck slashed, blood flowing all over the ground, and he is already dead.

On the right was a short man in black, with blood flowing from his chest, with a face towel and sideburns, but the face had been torn off in half, his face was full of fierceness, his eyes were wide open, and he was dead.

Li Ruozhen examined the two of them for a moment, and then spoke: "The man on the left was killed by the man in black on the right, and the man in black was pierced in the chest with a sword. ”

"Let's go." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

As he continued to walk, his heart grew heavier and heavier, and he saw new corpses constantly appearing on the ground, either ordinary boat passengers or men in black.

Ordinary passengers were killed by the men in black, who were pierced through the heart.

It didn't take long for the two to come to the bow of the boat, only to see Yuan An, Yu Wenxiao and Yao Jian fighting with a group of black-clothed people on the broad bow.

The man in black was at a disadvantage, and when the leader in black saw Lu Yuan and the others, he thought that the other party had come to help again, so he immediately made a decision, withdrew from the battle circle, and jumped into the water.

The other men in black also jumped into the water, and several of them were killed immediately.

In an instant, there were only three men in black left, and they were surrounded by Yuan An, Yuwen Xiao, and Yao Jian, unable to escape.

Yuan An didn't hesitate and attacked the three of them, killing them in an instant.

"Stay alive." Yuwen Xiao hurriedly spoke.

However, as if he hadn't heard, Yuan An raised his sword and killed the last man in black.

Yuwen Xiao took two steps forward, looked at the corpse on the ground, and frowned: "Why don't you leave a living?" ”

"Momentarily stopped." Yuan An replied lightly.

Yuwen Xiao snorted secretly, he could see that Yuan An deliberately killed the last person.

Originally, he thought that these people were coming for Du Zhen and Du Xuan, but now it seems that the matter is not so simple.

At this moment, Shui Mengyao also came to the bow of the boat, and when she saw the vision, she was surprised: "What kind of situation is this?" Who are these men in black? ”

"I don't know, it's not a good kind anyway." Yu Wenxiao replied.

"Could it be the bandits from before?" Shui Mengyao stared at the corpse and said.

"Impossible." Lu Yuan shook his head and said that he originally thought that it was a bandit chasing him, but now he can conclude that these people are not bandits.

"Why?"

"If you look closely at their corpses, they are all very short, and those bandits are all burly men." Lu Yuan looked at the corpse on the ground and said.

Shui Mengyao looked at each corpse when she heard this, just as Lu Yuan said, the corpses on the ground were all five short figures.

"And their knife skills are also very weird." Yao Jian touched his chin and said.

"Leave them alone, let's see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, lest more passengers fall victim to the poison." After Yuan An left such a sentence, he turned around and left.

"That's right, let's go check it out." Shui Mengyao nodded in agreement, and left the bow of the boat as she spoke.

Yuwen Xiao stared at the direction of Yuan An's departure and was silent.

After a while, he arched his hand to Li Ruozhen and Lu Yuan: "Then we will also go over, Miss Du, Brother Du, you should also be careful, in case they go and return." ”

"We'll be careful." Lu Yuan nodded.

Yuwen Xiao didn't say anything more and went with Yao Jian.

When everyone left the bow of the boat, Lu Yuan slowly spoke: "Senior sister, what do you think?" ”

Li Ruozhen muttered: "These people should have come to Yuan An, when they were fighting just now, most of the attacks of those black-clothed people were on him. ”

"In other words, he killed the last man in black on purpose, what do you think he did it for?" Lu Yuan touched his chin and asked.

"It may be that he has some deep hatred for these people."

"It's possible, but it's also possible that they're afraid they'll say something." Lu Yuan said slowly.

"Kill people?"

"It's not certain what his purpose is for doing this, but one thing is certain, I'm afraid this Yuan An's background is not simple, so we have to be a little more wary of him in the future."

On the other side, the fleeing man in black drove quickly on the river in three small boats, and suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in front of him.

Because it was night, the recognition in the river was too low, and when the black shadow was seen, the boat was already very close to the black shadow, and the boat was moving too fast.

Before they could turn around, the three boats were knocked apart by the black shadows, and the men in black fell into the water one after another.

A man in black who fell into the water was illuminated by the moonlight, and only then did he see that the black shadow turned out to be a huge ship, but the people on board did not notice that the big ship had hit something, and continued to return to Muzhou City.

Early the next morning.

When the owner of the passenger ship found that there were more corpses on board, he immediately sent someone to report to the official in a small boat.

This place is in Tonglu County, and the county government sent a catcher to ask the passenger ship to dock at the dock in Tonglu County for inspection.

Under the investigation, the catchers found that several passengers were all killed by the man in black, and as for who killed the man in black, all the passengers said they did not know.

There were so many murders at once, not only did the catchers have a headache, but even the Tonglu County Order was alarmed, he called the catcher over and reprimanded a few words, and strictly ordered a thorough investigation of the case.

The head catcher was also in a hurry, and under pressure, he asked the big passenger ship not to leave Tonglu County, and the passengers on board were very dissatisfied, and the passengers who were in a hurry changed ships directly.

As for the fare, the owner of the ship refused to refund anything, and they had no choice but to give up.

Passengers who are not in a hurry are waiting on the big ships.

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to send a letter to the donkey, and then went to the county office.

When he arrived at the gate of the county office, he picked out a token from his baggage and handed it to the guard at the door.

"Please also pass this item over to your prefectural commander."

The guards saw at a glance that this was an official certificate of Hui'an Mansion, how dare they be the slightest slack, and said "Wait a while", and hurriedly entered the county government to report.

When Lu Yuan left Hui'an Mansion, he deliberately brought a few official vouchers with him, just so that he could mobilize the power of Hui'an Mansion if necessary.

After a while, an official in a green official robe ran out of the mansion, and hurriedly greeted Lu Yuan and Li Ruozhen after seeing him.

"Xiaguan Sima Rui has seen the deputy commander."

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised, the person in front of him was Sima Rui, whom he met when he participated in the imperial examination, and he didn't expect him to be a county magistrate here.

Pressing down Qi ngxu, Lu Yuan said: "Sima County Order doesn't need to be polite, this commander has something to ask Sima County Order to help." ”

"The deputy commander commands." Sima Rui was very respectful.

Lu Yuan whispered a few words in his ear, and Sima Ruijian's face changed slightly, revealing a little embarrassed.

Lu Yuan frowned and said, "This group of black-clothed people is related to a case that our guards are pursuing, and you will report it according to the truth when you arrive, what else is there to be embarrassed about?" ”

Hearing that it was the official business of the guards, Sima Rui suddenly relieved his heart and said with a smile: "The lower officials understand, let them let them go immediately." ”

"Then there is the Laosima County Order." Lu Yuan bowed his hand and took his leave.

After returning to the dock, after waiting for a while, the big ship was released and sailed towards Hangzhou again.

After that, there were no accidents along the way, and after two days, Lu Yuan finally arrived in Hangzhou, the second largest city in the south.
