Chapter 539: Ready to go
Song Zheng pinned the fish intestine sword to the side of the ship, tried his best to stabilize his figure, and couldn't help but smile bitterly (The Road to Rebirth of the Wealthy Sect txt download). With a sense of revenge, he used the advantage of the fish intestine sword to chisel through the flower boat, but he didn't expect the water pressure to be so great that he almost wrapped himself in the cabin.
There was a lot of water in the bilge, and the people on board didn't realize it at first, and their energy was focused on the Lianjia painting boat, which had exploded. However, as more and more water poured in, the boat creaked loudly and its hull began to tilt.
"What's going on? Why did the ship tilt? A voice shouted.
"Oh no, the boat is in the water! Go down and check it out! ”
……
The boat was in chaos, with the sound of messy footsteps and thudging. Song Zheng only heard Wang Ji shouting, "It's not good, everyone go to the port side, press it down first!" ”
However, the hull of the ship was already very tilted, and the people, tables and chairs on the boat all slid to the right, making the ship tilt.
Under the boat, Song Zheng finally got rid of the water power, and hurriedly plunged down and swam from the bottom to the left side of the boat. Song Zheng knew that the sinking of such a large flower boat would definitely form a whirlpool on the water. If he didn't want to be coerced and pressed to the bottom of the water, Song Zheng could only paddle desperately.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Zheng finally came out of the water seven or eight feet away from the flower boat. When he looked back, he saw that the boat was tilting more than forty degrees. Many people began to dive into the water and fell like dumplings. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and the flower boat fell sideways into the water. All the people on the boat were thrown out, and the screams of men and women were incessant.
The lanterns on the ship went out in an instant, and the water area was immediately darkened.
Song Zheng spit out a long breath, and secretly screamed in his heart (the full text of the Sword Emperor of the Flood Desolation was read). However, instead of admiring his masterpiece, he took advantage of the darkness and hurriedly swam towards the opposite shore. After the tea, Song Zheng swam to the shore. At this time, due to a series of changes in the river, many people began to pour out of the door, standing on the bank and pointing at the center of the river.
Under the cover of a tree, Song Zheng finally climbed ashore, quickly crossed the street on the shore, and got into the alley. Standing at the mouth of the alley, Song Zheng glanced back, only to see that many painting boats began to rush towards the place where the accident occurred, and some had already thrown down the ropes and began to save people. Standing on the shore, Song Zheng couldn't see it really. However, it can also be expected that due to the large number of painting boats on the Qinhuai River, the vast majority of those who fell into the water will be rescued. Perhaps only those who don't know anything about water will sink to the bottom.
Covered in **, Song Zheng didn't dare to stay for a long time, and quickly ran down the alley in the direction of Song Mansion.
"Xiaolang, what's going on? I'm soaking wet! Ming'er asked, while digging out dry clothes from the suitcase and waiting for Song Zheng to change them.
Song Zheng smiled, "I'm quite embarrassed like this, but someone is more embarrassed than me!" ”
After drying his body, Song Zheng changed his clothes, and then slowly told him what happened tonight.
Ming'er was shocked when she heard this, and finally said angrily, "This Jiang Lin is too bold to dare to blow up a boat." Thanks to your quick opportunity, otherwise, it wouldn't be a bad thing! It's okay, if you sink Su Chan's flower boat, maybe Wang Ji will be buried in the belly of the fish. ”
Song Zheng shook his head, "It's hard to say whether that boat was blown up by Jiang Lin's people." Now that Wang Ji has sneaked to the Lianjia Painting Boat, he must be confident that he can assassinate me, and it seems that there is no need to blow up the ship again. ”
"That's not easy to say, maybe it's Jiang Lin's backhand."
"It's also possible that the suspicion is on that Lian Shui'er. Even the people who painted the boat must know the inside story, otherwise they wouldn't have run away in advance. ”
"Well, I have to let Sister Li investigate this matter. As long as you catch one, you will know if Jiang Lin is a troublemaker. ”
Song Zheng snorted coldly, "Without further ado, I'll go find Sister Li (read the full text of the whole system of magic)." I want to see who is so intent on putting me to death. ”
"Xiaolang, you still have to go tomorrow, maybe the other party has arranged a back hand outside the yard, and as soon as you go out, let people block it again."
"Don't worry about this, when I entered the house just now, I had already checked, and there was no one. Even if someone wanted to block me, it was before I returned to the Song Mansion just now. ”
Ming'er nodded and told Song Zheng to be careful.
That night, Song Zheng, Li Hongniang and more than ten secretaries of the Imperial City Division began to track down the Lianjia painting boat. However, this incident happened too suddenly, and Li Hongniang had no clues in her hands, so she didn't get anything overnight.
In the afternoon of the next day, the officials of Jiangning Mansion came to the Song Mansion and asked Song Zheng about the previous night. Song Zheng insisted that after talking to Lian Shui'er for a while last night, he left the ship and landed. As for the explosion of the Lianjia painting boat and the sinking of the Yuxianglou flower boat, I have no knowledge.
Since Lian Jia's buddies and Lian Shui'er and others were nowhere to be found, the officials had no way to judge the truth of what Song Zheng said. However, the officials brought news that the flower boat where Su Chan was staying, except for the girl named Yun'er who sank to the bottom of the river because she couldn't water, everyone else was rescued. And Jiang Lin, the son of Jiang Dashanren, although he was also rescued, he was already terminally ill because of a cold.
Two days later, Li Hongniang came to the Song Mansion and revealed a message to Song Zheng. That is, the owner of the boat and all his men were killed in the dense forest east of the city, and only the water was nowhere to be found. This is clearly killing people.
After Song Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh at the other party's ruthless methods!
At this point, the explosion of the Lianjia painting boat and the sinking of the Yuxianglou flower boat have become a headless public case. Since the establishment of Jiangning City, such a strange thing has never happened, and the people naturally have different opinions. However, under the intentional spread of well-intentioned people, Song Zheng was involved in this case, but there was no evidence, and no one dared to interrogate a commander of the forbidden army.
Song Zheng knew that this must be a trick used by Huang Song to ruin his reputation (the latest chapter of the bully snatching his wife). However, at the moment, Song Zheng didn't care about it. Dabi is approaching, and he is concentrating on studying at home. Hou Zhonglian and the other three were also questioned, but the three of them clearly had alibi evidence, and the family backgrounds of the three were not trivial, and the Jiangning Mansion did not embarrass them.
In mid-October, Hu Qiang finally sent Ji Yang's receipt, so that Song Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The process was similar to what Song Zheng expected. Ji Yang was really greedy, happily accepted the 200 catties of arsenic, and wrote a receipt, and took it back after the agreed thing was completed. However, this guy is also an old traitor, hiding the arsenic in his new concubine, and he didn't make a move. Hu Qiang was also afraid of startling the snake, so he tried his best to get in touch with this concubine, and took advantage of Ji Yang's absence to collect the 200 catties of arsenic at a price of one tael of silver per catty higher than the market price.
In order to prevent accidents, Hu Qiang did not sell the arsenic to the pharmacy in Jiangning Mansion at all, but directly transported it to the Yangtze River and poured it out. The whole process was seamless.
In other aspects, Huzi has already become Lu Hong's personal guard, following Lu Hong to inspect the coming and going ships. Erhei and others became coolies at the big turtle wharf, carrying bags every day. And Lu Chun and Xiaobei also prepared their ships and began to transport goods between the trading dock and the big turtle wharf.
As for the manor in the west of the city, the mixture of alum water and arsenic had all been dried. Ming'er, Se'er, and the Wanyan sisters, who had recovered, mixed these things with table salt, plus some white laxatives and sweat medicines, and packed them in Ji's salt bags.
At this point, the plot to deal with the Ji family has been fully prepared, just waiting for Song Zheng's order.
"What? Jiang Lin is dead? In Fengzhu Garden, Song Zheng had just finished an assignment, and Hu Qiang rushed over to tell Song Zheng the news.
"Yes, I heard it was last night. The Commander asked me to tell you, I hope you must be careful. ”
Song Zheng stood up and paced back and forth in the room. He really didn't expect Jiang Lin to hang up like this. However, there is also a fate. Jiang Lin had already been made half-crippled by Song Zheng. In addition, he tried his best to take revenge, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and his body deteriorated. This time, I was soaked in the cold river water, and I was shocked and frightened, and I was already sinky and difficult to get up. lasted twenty days, and then died (the latest chapter of the super exchange fanatic).
As soon as Jiang Lin died, Song Zheng did not feel pleasure at all, but had a feeling that something was wrong. Jiang Kui is the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, and is in charge of the Imperial City Division south of the Yangtze River. Jiang Lin's death will definitely make him go crazy and try his best to take revenge on himself. Now, Song Zheng's only reliance is on the prince.
It's funny to say that he sent a big smoking gun to Xiao Juni, just to let Xiao Jun be slowly poisoned. Now, Song Zheng had to hope that he would not die too quickly, lest Jiang Kui would be able to do it to himself without any scruples.
After thinking about it, Song Zheng had no way to quickly end this matter. The first is that he has to deal with the Ji family wholeheartedly, and the second is that the big exam is coming soon, and Song Zheng has no time to deal with Jiang Kui wholeheartedly.
After sending Hu Qiang away, Song Zheng thought for a while, then returned to the Song Mansion, called the whole family together, and told everyone not to go out at night. At the same time, Song Jue also had to take sick leave and stay at home. In addition, Ming'er is responsible for verifying the food purchased from outside to prevent anyone from poisoning.
Although Song Jue and Zhu didn't know why, seeing Song Zheng's serious appearance, they had to obey Song Zheng's arrangement. Since then, the people of the entire Song Mansion have been frightened, and while Song Zheng is deeply apologetic, there is no better way.
Then, Song Zheng dispatched twenty forbidden troops including Qin Shan and stationed them in the Song Mansion. This is thanks to his good relationship with the little emperor, and after the little emperor heard about the grievances between Song Zheng and Jiang Kui, he allowed Song Zheng to deploy the personal guards of the Zhenzi camp at will.
Not only that, Song Zheng also asked Lu Chun to mobilize thirty dart masters from the Earthquake Wind Dart Bureau to guard the Chengxi Manor, firstly, to prevent anyone from prying eyes, and secondly, to ensure that Se'er and the Wanyan sisters did not cause any trouble.
After all this was arranged, Song Zheng was able to read with peace of mind. During this period, Mu Yu would go to Fengzhuyuan every once in a while to inform Song Zheng of Jiang Kui's movements.
To Song Zheng's surprise, Jiang Kui didn't make any changes. After Jiang Dashan buried his son, he offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to hunt down the water ghost who sank the Yuxianglou flower boat. And Wang Ji, since the accident that night, there has been no trace. ~
