Chapter 13: Who is the ghost?

"City Lord, in recent days, we don't know what the price of grain and rice in Nandui City is, and the good ones have suddenly dropped. It was Huang Han who spoke in front of the palace.

"How many days have this been the beginning of unstable food prices?" Wei Chiqing asked.

"It's the fifth day, city lord, the price of rice has risen too much today, it has reached 700 wen and one stone." Huang Han said.

"More than doubled?"

"Yes, city lord, if this continues, there may be civil strife, city lord, you have to have an idea." Huang Han said.

"Yu is free to judge, you wait and do what you are told." Wei Chiqing said confidently.

Yu Chisong's Mansion.

"The eldest prince listens to orders." It was the herald Zhao Gonggong who spoke.

"Lieutenant Chi Song received the order."

"The eldest prince, you better see for yourself, the city lord has something to trust you."

"Thank you for the city lord's trust." As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his body and sent Zhao's father-in-law out of the mansion with a smile.

"This old thing." Yu Chisong scolded secretly.

"What does Wei Chiqing want his son to do?" Yu Jia asked.

Wei Chisong slowly opened the Zhao Ling, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became, and he scolded, "Bastard boy, dare to yin Lao Tzu." ”

"The eldest prince is angry." Yu Jia comforted and hurriedly took Zhao Ling over to see it for herself, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and then asked her subordinates to invite Han Lin.

South Twilight Pier.

Today is the day to escort 30,000 stone rice to the head sect of Hezun, it seems that this group of disciples, in addition to persuading people to believe in religion, also have to eat rice and noodles, Yu Chong was thinking about it, and was suddenly slapped by Xu Ying from behind.

"Brother Yu, this delivery, you represent our dock gang, be confident, don't be submissive, when you arrive at the Jiangyunguo dock, naturally someone will ask you to hand over, don't worry about the side things, the silver will be directly given to our four masters in Jiangyunguo, you don't have to care."

"Okay, then my trip is relatively simple." Yu Chong said deliberately stupidly.

"It's true, there are no pirates on this river, and none of the surrounding three countries can give the South Twilight City Wharf Gang a thin face, and this trip will be unimpeded." Xu Ying almost bit her finger and put a handprint on Yu Chong's cover.

"Then when all the rice is loaded onto the ship, my brother will leave first."

"Have a safe journey."

Yu Chong took 4 brothers on the dock to escort 30,000 stone rice to Jiangyunguo, the sun was shining all the way, Yu Chong took a nap, I don't know how long he slept, a brother asked him to eat, hastily ate a few bites, the boatman said that he was about to go to Jiangyunguo Wharf.

When he arrived in Jiang Yunguo, it was evening again, and Yu Chong didn't like to arrive at a strange place with a black light, he couldn't see anything clearly, and people's hearts were even more difficult to understand.

Yu Chong saw a man in black standing on the shore from a distance, plus about 8 or 9 people in the lead.

When I walked in, I realized that this leader was not who else Lin Xian'er could be.

Yu Chong was just about to step forward to take a look, but he saw Lin Xian'er's hands hanging down, and his right hand shook slightly, Yu Chong basically understood what Lin Xian'er meant, and he still didn't want to expose his identity.

Yu Chong said: "You are here to pick up the goods." ”

"Exactly, this note is written by your own master." Lin Xian'er said and handed a note to Yu Chong.

Yu Chong saw that it was indeed Feng Tianbiao's pen note, which said that Jiang Yunguo received 30,000 stones of rice, which could be regarded as a certificate of handover.

Yu Chong handed the note to the brother next to him and said, "Ship." Then he and a few dock brothers flashed aside, and the people brought by Lin Xian'er got on the boat to check the rice.

"Yu Gongzi, it's so late today, let's stay in Jiang Yunguo, the four masters here, Hua Mingliu, will receive us."

"Alright, you lead the way." After that, he walked towards the city with the four of them, and winked at Lin Xian'er when he left.

When she arrived at the realm of the four masters, Yu Chong always thought that she should be a woman, but unexpectedly she was a man dressed in a charming manner, and Yu Chong looked uncomfortable.

"Brother Yu, Xu Er's family has already sent a message, let me wait to entertain you." Hua Ming Liu said gloomily.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's the same thing for the dock, and I'll bother the four masters tonight."

Hua Mingliu didn't say much, arranged the wine and food for Yu Chong and the others, and went out on his own.

After eating, drinking and eating, the four of them still had to play cards, so they went out to find the subordinates of the four masters to play money, Yu Chong was bored in the room, and was looking through a book of foreign objects, when suddenly a black shadow flashed, Yu Chong saw that it was Lin Xian'er.

"Why are you here?" Yu Chong asked.

"I didn't want to beat Feng Tianbiao to send you to deliver the goods." Lin Xian'er said.

"I don't know why I was sent, who was here before?" Yu Chong wanted to say more.

"It's nothing, take it, this is the antidote for the past 15 days, and there has been nothing serious about your body recently." Lin Xian'er asked.

"I didn't have much reaction, when will I be able to completely detoxify the poison on my body."

"Soon, you're back in Southern Twilight City and give this letter to Lao Wang." After that, Lin Xian'er left.

Now the balance of Yu Chong's trust has begun to tilt towards the official lady, since she knows so many things about me, then I still choose to let her help me detoxify, and I didn't take the antidote, just put it away and put it on my body.

The next day, Yu Chong and the others had just finished breakfast and were about to go to the dock to take a boat back to Southern Dusk City, when suddenly Lin Xian'er and Senior Brother Han Jian appeared in front of them with five Hezun Sect disciples.

Hua Mingliu, the fourth master, stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Han Blade's arm and said, "Yo, what kind of wind blew Han Gongzi here today, come into the house and have a cup of tea." ”

"Hua Mingliu, we didn't come to you today," he said, and said to Yu Chong, "You escorted the rice?" ”

"Exactly down there." Yu Chongxin said, they are all old acquaintances, and if they have something to say, they can talk quickly and fart quickly.

"Take them down." Cold Blade said.

"Alas, Master Han, you Hezun Sect came directly to me to get people, and spread it out to let our dock gang mess around in the future." Hua Mingliu whirled.

"This batch of rice you have brought has been poisoned, and several disciples have died of poison this morning because they have eaten the rice you sent." Lin Xian'er explained.

"Ah, it's poisonous, what does this have to do with our dock gang, we are only responsible for escorting, this rice is from Dadong Grain Store." Yu Chong explained.

"Da Dong Grain Store naturally can't get rid of suspicion, but your wharf can also do tricks in the process of transportation." Han Blade said coldly.

"No way." Yu Chong was still thinking about maintaining one or two for the dock gang, but saw Hua Mingliu slowly shake his head.

"Since our dock and their Dadong grain store are both suspicious, let's start an investigation, we have to come up with evidence, it's not appropriate to just arrest the people of our dock gang." Hua Mingliu said.

"Senior brother, what the four masters said is right, this dock and Da Dong Grain Store are all on display, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, don't think that we will have no way to go back to Nandui City." Lin Xian'er said.

"Don't let me find out that it was your dock that did it, otherwise one will count as one, and I will destroy you all." Let's leave with Lin Xian'er.

"What's going on?" Hua Mingliu said.

"I don't know, no third person has touched this rice." Yu Chong said.

"Brother Yu, you go into the house with me, and the rest of the people are guarding outside, don't come in." Hua Mingliu ordered.

"What do you understand when Brother Yu came here?" Hua Mingliu asked angrily.

"What do you understand?" Yu Chong asked.

"Since the second master can let you escort this rice, he must trust you very much."

"Really?"

"Absolutely, then I'll tell you some of the things behind this, our dock gang has always been neutral in Southern Twilight City, whether it is his Wei Chiqing or the other two sons, we have not agreed, including the most powerful Wei Chi Hao in Southern Twilight City from time to time."

"Oh."

"Why do we want to poison the wharf, it will do us no harm, don't you know, the owner behind the Dadong grain store is this Wei Chihao, Wei Chihao must have to reach some agreement with the Hezun Sect, so he will give them some grain and grass, our wharf is just a favor to push the boat down the river, if we don't help escort, we will definitely offend both ends."

"Then who's framing us dock gangs." Yu Chong asked.

"I don't know very well for the time being, you wait for me to write a letter to the big boss, and you will return to Southern Dusk City in a while."

"Okay, four masters."

In the evening, Yu Chong and the others returned to the Southern Twilight City.

Yu Chong gave the letter to Feng Tianbiao, only to see that Feng Tianbiao was furious after reading it and threw the letter to Xu Ying.

After reading the letter, Xu Ying said, "It doesn't make sense, these 30,000 stone rice were sent to our wharf by Dadong Grain Store, and they were all loaded onto the ship by people I trust, and our wharf is absolutely clean." ”

"Then who do you say did this, and they did it themselves in Dadong Grain Store?" Feng Tianbiao said angrily.

"Yu Chihao's old fox is not so stupid, he wanted to use the power of the Hezun Sect outside to deal with these bull ghosts and snake gods in Southern Dusk City in his early years, but it was too late for him to stammer." Xu Ying analyzed.

"It is even more impossible for there to be a problem in the transportation link," Xu Ying said and looked at Yu Chong, and continued, "Every time I transport a large cargo, I am afraid that it is the problem in this transportation link that allows multiple brothers to escort together, not to monitor each other, but to prove the innocence of the other party when there is a problem, they are all brothers I trust." ”

Feng Tianbiao waved his hand and said, "Second master, you don't need to over-analyze the possible omissions on our dock, the problem is definitely not on our side, but it is not like Wei Chihao digging his own grave." ”

"That's someone framed it." After Xu Ying finished speaking, she looked at Feng Tianbiao intently, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
