Chapter 33: A Sense of Foreboding
Taking advantage of the darkness before dawn, Zhang Zhen and the three of them walked back to the store in the alley.
Soon the sky was bright, and Zhang Zhen's hard work began the second wave of fermentation.
That's right, it's the second wave, and the first wave started when Zhang Zhen started the assault boat.
Soon after the assault boat started, Zhang Zhen deliberately swept near the Nanyang Wharf several times, and in the dead of night, he suddenly woke up countless boat owners.
The richer and richer they were, the more they were afraid of death, and the shipowners abandoned the ship one after another, so that there were more and more people on the dock, and then the people on the little yellow boat came back and did not dare to get on the boat.
For an hour or two, some people couldn't stay up, so they found an inn or an acquaintance to spend the night, and most of the people were staring at it on the pier.
It is precisely because of this that no one noticed the abnormality in the seven yellow boat official ships until dawn.
The east is white, and the merchants and residents in Nanyang have gone out in advance, and the streets and alleys are discussing privately everywhere, but the tea stalls and the vendors selling steamed buns have made a profit.
There was no movement for an hour, someone found an inn to rest, and the stingy one returned to the ship with the courage to return to the ship, and they drove them, and the soldiers on the little yellow boat also wanted to go back to the ship to rest, and this time it was a hornet's nest.
"Murder !!"
was already frightened, and when he entered the cabin, he suddenly saw bloodstains, and the screams were particularly fierce, so that the owners of the ships went ashore one after another, knowing that the screams were the soldiers on the imperial ship, and the contempt in his heart was inevitable, and of course he was more curious and afraid.
That big dragon really eats people! With this in mind, everyone approached the little yellow boat, only watching from a distance, and no one dared to approach.
The eunuch on the little yellow boat felt that his face was dull, and he was even more afraid that there would be a mistake on the boat, so he shouted to the soldier fiercely: "What's the matter? ”
Of these dozen or so pawns, in fact, only one went in, and at most two or three people saw blood, and the little soldier who went first said in shock: "Father-in-law, our boat is full of blood!" ”
"Ah!!h The eunuch exclaimed in surprise and reprimanded his subordinates: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't report to the police yet! ”
It's a murder, and then it's full of blood, and the picture is even more bloody when you think about it, and under the fright, the first thing the eunuch thinks of is to report to the official, this is the emperor's errand, if you go out of the pool, you are unlucky, and this Yanzhou Mansion and the river Yamen don't want to have a good time.
However, Yang Hanlin couldn't help but be disappointed after reporting his speculation to the inspection, and after rekindling his confidence, he inquired a little the next day, but he knew that Zhang Zhen was wandering on the street for a long time, very leisurely, and he couldn't help but feel strange.
He thought that it was a great achievement to catch the rebellion, and the inspection department wanted to entertain the people of the big yellow boat, and he was already disgusted by this stammering banquet, and this time he was even more lacking in interest, so he went home and slept peacefully, and still walked back to the yamen.
Walking on the streets of Nanyang, I heard people talking about it, and the dragon god was haunted again? Hmph, it must have been that Zhang Zhen who made the hell!
When I arrived at the Inspection Division, my ass was still hot, and I heard a rapid drum beating, 'Bang! Boom! Boom! Yang Hanlin is the official of the torture room, and he is the first to bear the brunt of this injustice drum.
The duty was to tidy up and tidy up the clothes, and ran to the lobby, and before he could walk in, he heard those people shouting "Kill!" Murder on the big yellow boat! ”
Homicide case! Or a tribute boat!! Yang Hanlin's heart suddenly suddenly, this Zhang Zhen is really bold, he must have ransacked the tribute ship, this is to poke the sky into a hole!
Yang inspected and ascended to the hall, and after listening to the soldier's report, he was shocked, the little yellow boat had such a murder, it couldn't have been looted by a strongman, right? And the big yellow boat can still be spared?
Thinking about last night's feast, Yang Zhengjun felt chills down his spine, trembled all over, and opened his mouth to shout: "Someone! Pass on the deputy inspection! The herald household salute soldier four-room officer! Pass all the archers! If you can't do it, you will be disposed of by delaying the military aircraft! ”
Yang Zhengjun thought for a while, pointed to the two subordinates and said, "You two, go and report to the Caoyun Division and the Hundred Households Office quickly!" ”
Soon the staff was neat, Yang Zhengjun and the deputy inspector rode a tall horse, and hundreds of people from the priest to the archers lined up to accompany them, and soon arrived at the dock.
Yang inspected the hangover all night, just woke up and freshened up when he heard the drum and then ascended to the hall, how did he know what happened in the town, when he arrived at the dock, he casually shouted: "Idle people wait to retreat!" Fence it off! ”
After the majesty, Yang Inspector quickly dismounted, trotted to the eunuch's side, and saluted in a low voice: "Let your father-in-law be frightened!" The lower officials have already done their best, and they will definitely protect the integrity of their fathers-in-law, arrest the murderer, and correct the law of the country! ”
The eunuch said unruly: "Okay, okay, you quickly take someone in to see if the tribute is still there?" That's the life of the Sprinkle family! Otherwise, how could the Sprinkle family have the face to explain to His Majesty? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!! The next official will investigate the case! Yang Zhengjun turned around and shouted, "Someone! Go in and check with the officer! ”
Hula stood up more than a dozen, some rushed to the first to visit the danger, and some guarded the patrol side, these are mostly sloppy and horse-beating people, Yang Hanlin stubbornly mixed in and followed the boat.
It was also because the main and deputy inspectors did not know what to do, and after getting on the ship, they boldly entered, and the scene in the cabin was quickly presented in front of them.
There were four pools of blood inside, there were no corpses, it seemed that four people were dead, although they were not extinguished, but they were destroyed.
Yang Zhengjun didn't care about this, he commanded people to check the tribute, and when he saw that the tribute had not been moved, he was also relieved, ran back to the dock, and whispered with joy: "Back to my father-in-law, the tribute on the ship seems to have not been touched!" ”
"It's good that I haven't touched it! It's good that I haven't touched it! The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can the people left behind in the Sprinkle family have a living mouth?" ”
Yang Zhengjun saw that the eunuch's face had improved a lot, and he was overjoyed, and said with a sneer: "It's the lower official who is anxious to let the public feel at ease, knowing that the tribute has not been lost and coming to report first, as for whether there is a living mouth, his subordinates are still investigating, and the lower official will go and see, and the lower official will retire!" ”
Yang Zhengjun got on the boat again and disappeared from sight, seeing that the father-in-law on the ship breathed a sigh of relief, and the other fathers-in-law glanced at each other, and each other's eyes were full of horror.
It can't be that robbers on his ship are not uncommon, and there is less tribute on his own ship, right? Thinking of this, the three eunuchs didn't have time to tell others to go, so they walked briskly one by one in a hurry, and quickly ran back to their own boat.
The three fathers-in-law all saw the bloodstains, not to mention the horror in their hearts, and when they saw the tribute clearly, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, the tribute was not less, and fortunately, they returned to their places one after another, and ordered: "Go!" Inform your home inspection, there is also a murder on the royal ship of the Sprinkle family! ”
What the eunuch said was an understatement, but the archers heard it like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, who dared to hesitate, and hurriedly got on the ship to report.
"My lord! There is also a homicide on the royal ship next to it! ”
"My lord! The royal ship to the north also has it! ”
"My lord! Another royal ship is also a homicide! ”
After hearing three pieces of news in a row, Yang Zhengjun collapsed on the spot, is this the sky about to fall? There were homicides on all four royal ships, but what about the fifth?
Including the inspection, the people of the entire inspection department have a very ominous premonition!
