Chapter 7: The Dragon's Seal (1)
The policemen were still rummaging around, entering from one cabin to another, even the people who were squatting on the deck and scattering their seats, and no one had to believe that they could not find out all the people on the ship, and it was impossible for the ship to leave Anqing Port.
The Hanyang is a river ship with only two decks, and it doesn't take much time to really check it out one cabin at a time.
"What's the origin of that surnamed Yan?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help but think of the merchant who slept in his lower bunk again.
Feng Xuan shook his head: "Who knows, when we got on the boat, he would be there." He only said that he was a merchant who had boarded the ship from Hankow, and that he didn't talk to us much! ”
"Why did he run away when he saw the police?" This is what Xiao Linghu is most surprised by. "Also, why did he give me a bag?"
Feng Xuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe he is the Jiangyang thief that the police are looking for; Maybe he's a problematic person and he's afraid of being caught by the police! He originally said that he was going to Guichi, but now he is in Anqing, which is indeed very suspicious! ”
Xiao Linghu carefully recalled the appearance of Mr. Yan, but in the dim light, Mr. Yan had been lying on his lower bunk bed, and now he didn't want to think about what that guy looked like, but he just felt that he was a literati who was not tall, a little thin, and wore a long robe, and now he couldn't connect him with the Jiangyang thief.
"A plum?" Xiao Linghu read this name, but he felt as if he had heard it somewhere, and suddenly remembered: "I heard that Mr. Storyteller said that there was such a thief in ancient times, called Yizhimei. ”
Feng Xuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "You really can be a thief in the ancient era here?" Hehe, even if this Jiangyang thief calls himself a plum, he is just borrowing the name of a thief. You can also call yourself a plum? ”
"Me?" Xiao Linghu smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a Jiangyang thief!" ”
Feng Xuan smiled and shook his head, Xiao Linghu was too straightforward, and he couldn't turn a corner with him when he said something.
The two of them came to the side of the boat on the second floor, leaning on the railing and looking down, the floating dock and the board connected to the river bank were full of people, but the police set up a checkpoint at the ticket office of the floating dock, and all those who disembarked had to be checked one by one, unless they flew from the sky to the shore.
It was precisely because of the police inspection that those who disembarked from the boat had not finished walking until now, and a group of people were piled up in front of the inspection post, and the sound of cursing came from there from time to time, mixed with the shouts of those policemen.
Xiao Linghu's sharp eyes saw at a glance the Mr. Yan who was mixed in the crowd, he was carrying a wooden box, wearing a top hat on his head, and he looked like an ordinary person, even if he was mixed in the crowd, he would not attract anyone's attention.
There was a sudden commotion at the checkpoint, and a woman was screaming and crying: "Pay me back!" Pay me back! Then another high-pitched male voice came: "You stinky bitch, who took your money!" "That's you! You are robbers! The woman's cry was even louder......
"The police have robbed the money! ......" was already in the crowd and was crying.
The crowd rioted even more.
"These hateful fellows!" Xiao Linghu couldn't help but scold, if he wasn't on the boat, but on the floating dock, he would definitely rush up to report the grievances, and at least knock the policeman who robbed other people's property to the ground.
Feng Xuan looked at it coldly, and said faintly: "In this world, these people who eat public meals are so shameless!" Poor people! ”
Xiao Linghu couldn't help but turn his head to look at him and said, "That's what these people wear dog skins are, and they are used to bullying the common people." However, there should be good people in the police! ”
"Good guys?" Feng Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" said that cannibalism is a cannibalistic society!" Hehe, it's rotten to the roots, and good people will be dyed! ”
"Rotten to the roots?" Xiao Linghu was stunned.
Feng Xuan nodded: "Only by starting from the beginning, maybe this country and this society can be saved!" ”
"Starting over?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help but tremble, and couldn't help but think of two words: "Revolution? ”
Feng Xuan didn't speak again, he suddenly realized that this companion of his was even smarter than he imagined, and sometimes, just a little bit was enough.
There were two gunshots suddenly on the floating dock, and the chaotic crowd quieted down all of a sudden, Xiao Linghu and Feng Xuan looked at each other, but saw that the policeman who robbed people of money was knocked to the ground, and the two policemen on the side wanted to help, but they were also implicated, and they were pulled by the people behind.
However, the silence was only a moment, the people reacted, the curses burst out again, a figure rushed out of the crowd, only to hit, the two policemen who fired the gun were knocked to the ground, the iron fence door of the originally half-closed ticket gate was suddenly rushed open, and people no longer ignored the obstruction in front of them, and squeezed out of the open door.
Again, the gunfire rang out, but it was the policemen on the shore who were on guard to fire a warning shot, who spotted the riot at the floating dock.
The crowd fell silent again, knowing that even if they had rushed through the floating dock, had to go to shore, and had to go through a long pedal, they would still be threatened by the police.
"He's a plum!" A policeman shouted, as excited as if he had discovered a new world, and pointed at the man who had slammed the door open.
Xiao Linghu and Feng Xuan looked at each other together, and under the flickering lights of the floating dock, they could clearly see that the person was Mr. Yan, who they had recognized just now.
All the guns were pointed at Mr. Yan, but this Mr. Yan seemed to have taken measures a long time ago, and before these policemen could shoot, they jumped into the dark river, and when those policemen shone their flashlights on the river, they only saw the sparkling waves, and there was no one in sight.
