Chapter 162: Are You Recruiting?
The death of the treasure ship is bound to affect business.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still sailing, it would take three to five days to get to the next stop, the Stone Thorn Forest, and I am afraid that someone would have to get off the ship now!
Even so, Liu Zhenhai was so good at talking that he persuaded the merchants to go back to the room and give him time to track it down slowly.
If you can't find the murderer, you can only settle it in Stone Thorn Town or Fang City and seek help from the public patrol!
"Ming Shao, if something like this happens, it's better for you to stay in the room, so as not to have an accident!"
Although Liu Zhenhai's tone was tactful, there was obviously a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
Although Wu Ming is a guest of his own lord, his cultivation is low, and it is not easy for him to be distracted at this time, and it is not easy to maintain a good face!
"Commander Liu, I'm very interested in this matter, if you don't mind, can you let me see the corpse!"
Wu Ming didn't seem to realize it.
"Father-in-law, since Ming Shao is the honored guest of the lord of the fast, he must have something extraordinary, so it is better to ......"
Seeing that his face froze, Liu Wu hurriedly said.
"Hmph, what did I tell you?"
Liu Zhenhai snorted coldly.
"Yes, Commander!"
Liu Wu sneered.
"Since Ming Shao is not taboo, please come with me!"
Liu Zhenhai groaned for a while, greeted several entourages of the shopkeeper, and took Wu Ming and the two to the top private room.
As a businessman who walks outside all the year round, and a regular customer of Guangyuanzhai, the room of the horse shopkeeper is naturally of the highest standard.
Wu Ming unexpectedly found that it was not far from his room, only one floor apart!
The private room is extremely spacious, with the master room being the master's bedroom and surrounded by a guest room.
After a cursory sweep, the furnishings in the room are not messy and orderly.
If it weren't for the disheveled half-naked and obese corpse lying on his back on the bed, no one would have thought that there was an incredible murder in a closed room here!
"Commander Liu, but there are clues?"
It was the old man who spoke, the master of the bookkeeper who accompanied the shopkeeper, named Ma Zhong.
He has been a loyal servant of the Ma family since he was a child, and he can be said to be the henchman of his confidants!
"If there is a clue, I will share it with you, and I will wait on the sidelines!"
Liu Zhenhai's eyes have always been on Wu Ming.
Although I felt that the other party was a little reckless, I naturally had some expectations when I thought of being able to get the distinguished guest favored by the legendary young lord of my own house!
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was really young, he wouldn't have been a little contemptuous before.
Ma Zhong's old face froze, and he stepped aside, his eyes casually glanced at Wu Ming.
People are as old as him, and they have already seen that Wu Ming is the main one on this trip!
Although I don't know why a dignified innate master is so polite to a teenager, there is always a glimmer of hope!
"The corpse is dead but not stiff, the face is ruddy, although this person is only at the peak of his qi realm, but he will not die of a sudden illness.
And Liu Zhenhai was sure that there was a murderer, thinking that the cause of death was too strange, and he didn't find anything abnormal.
But a healthy martial artist died for no apparent reason, and this is the real strangeness!"
After carefully looking at the corpse, Wu Ming found that it was just as Liu Wu said all the way.
The corpse has no scars on the outside, as for the inside, he can't see through it, but he definitely can't hide Liu Zhenhai, a congenital powerhouse!
If you want to talk about poisoning, even if there is a strange poison that the innate divine sense can't find, dealing with a Qi Realm merchant is not a pawn in the battle of the Holy Dao like him.
This idea is just a flash in my mind and then it is dismissed!
"Ming Shao, what can you see?"
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Liu Wu couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, oh, nothing!"
It was as if the person who was concentrating was disturbed, and when he was frightened, Wu Ming turned around and inadvertently rubbed the fig leaf of the corpse, revealing a black lump of filth!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Wu Ming coughed dryly and covered the fig leaf, turned his head and asked, "At the time of the incident, the five of you were in the side room?"
"Yes, this young master doesn't have to doubt that the five of us and the others are all born to the Ma family, and they will never do such a thing!"
Ma Zhong said sadly.
The so-called family birth of children means that the generation is a servant, the master family designates a marriage match, and the next generation is still a servant!
Whether it is one's own life or death, or one's parents, almost all of them are in the hands of the main family.
The eyes of the other four people all looked at the girl who was crying!
"Young master save me! It's not me, it's really not the slave who did it, the slave family is just serving the master, who knows that suddenly ...... Just, woo!"
The girl cried and stepped forward, a pretty face without powder, pear blossoms with rain, I saw pity.
", how can you speak here, and you don't kneel?"
Ma Zhong said sharply.
"Ma Lao, please spare me, although the master spoiled me when he was here, did I ever disrespect you a little?
I'm a weak woman, how could I hurt my lord?
The girl's delicate body trembled slightly, and she collapsed to the ground.
"A few big men, I can't find the murderer, and I sprinkle my anger on a weak woman, what kind of hero is it!"
Liu Wu was young and vigorous, and his face was not angry.
"Brother Liu's words are wrong, it's not that we want to be angry, but she was the only one present at the time, the master is dead, she is alive, just such a room, and the formation is closed, and there is no way to enter and exit. Even if she didn't do it, it could be the poison of her inside and outside thieves!"
"Yes, Commander Liu has said that the murderer must still be on the ship, but who has the ability to kill the master silently?
Commander Liu is naturally impossible, only someone close to him can start, the five of us were together at the time, there is no possibility, there is no reason, only this woman has a chance, there is a reason to start!"
"This woman hooked up with Xiao Si in the house before, and was severely punished by the master, she must be holding a grudge and poisoning her next time!"
The four attendant guards said everything they could, and they said almost everything.
If you don't know here, you still think that they are the great masters of the Ming Dynasty, and the legendary detectives are alive!
"You ...... You're clearly shirking your responsibilities!"
Liu Wu's face was slightly red.
Wu Ming shook his head slightly, even Liu Wu could see it, how could he not understand, it was nothing more than trying to find a scapegoat!
Although Shenzhou has long abolished the Confucian system of the lord humiliating the ministers to death, the king calling the ministers to die, and the ministers having to die, the class rules of the upper and lower levels are extremely strict.
In this way, the master who served was killed, and the guards were intact, and the punishment he faced when he returned was beyond imagination!
"Thank you for this big brother's righteous words, the poor little woman is lonely, the master is dead, the slave family is speechless, and can only die to make a clear will!"
The girl's eyes were desperate, and she resolutely pulled out the hosta, raised her head and stabbed at Bai Nen's neck.
The incident happened suddenly, Liu Zhenhai had long been impatient with Ma Zhong and others' shirk, and he had been wandering out of the world and had no time to return to his senses.
Ma Zhong and the five people are eager to come to a scapegoat, this woman is a hundred dead, just relieved, of course she will not be rescued!
"No!"
Liu Wu was shocked and instinctively stepped forward to stop him.
Unexpectedly, something suddenly appeared under his feet, stumbling forward.
"Ouch!"
Coincidentally, he jumped into the girl's arms, threw her to the ground, and the hairpin fell to the side.
"Hmph, what kind of system is it, can't you get up?"
Liu Zhenhai said angrily.
"Yes, yes!"
Liu Wu got up with a sneering face, stretched out his right hand for a long time, and didn't dare to pull the girl up.
"Woo!"
The girl couldn't stop crying.
"What are you crying about? Your master is dead, it's a big deal to change the master!"
Liu Zhenhai was irritable and scolded coldly.
Ma Zhong and the others flashed with joy in their eyes, as long as this congenital powerhouse doesn't care about idle things, and can't find out the problem afterwards, they can push it into five and let this woman take the blame.
"No matter how you say it, it's also a human life, it's better to be like this, since it has nothing to do with this woman, why don't I buy it!
It just so happens that there is a lack of a waiter in my room, and the distance is far away, and it is boring and lonely!"
Wu Ming intervened horizontally.
"How can this work? This woman sold her deed in our Ma Mansion, how can you say that she will take it away?"
If it weren't for seeing that Wu Ming's identity was not ordinary, Ma Zhong and the others would have turned their faces on the spot.
A good scapegoat, how can you let go?
Liu Wu's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
If I hadn't traveled all the way, I would have known that this little master was an extremely self-disciplined person, and I am afraid that I would have thought that I was not interested in murder, but came to other people's beautiful women!
"Ming Shao, your itinerary is important, don't lose a big one because of a small one!"
Even Liu Zhenhai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it!
"It's okay, a few listen to me, this woman is delicate and frail, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, even if she is guilty, no one will believe it, and it will arouse suspicion, you conspire to poison the head of the family, it is better to report a violent death, one hundred times, so as not to cause more trouble!"
Wu Mingyan made it clear what was at stake, flipped his wrist, and threw out a thumb-sized glossy gemstone.
"Spirit Stone!"
Ma Zhong's eyes were about to pop out, and he almost didn't catch them.
A Qi Realm martial artist may not have seen it in his life, let alone use it, and if he is in business for a long time, he may not know it.
The eyes of the other four are straight!
"You ......"
Liu Wu's eyes showed a complicated look.
Now, he has some belief that Wu Ming is simply to save people!
If you are greedy for women, one spirit stone is enough to buy hundreds of beautiful women!
"Thank you young master, how many young masters, your great kindness, slave and maid will never forget in this life!"
The girl wept with joy.
"Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I want to go to Shaolin to worship Buddha on this trip, such a good deed, you can't do it!"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed with a different color, and he waved his hand casually.
"Okay, that's it, you know what to do next, right?"
Liu Zhenhai frowned slightly and looked at the waist card that was inadvertently exposed on Wu Ming's waist, and said helplessly.
"I'll get it!"
Ma Zhongyi gritted his teeth and agreed.
The treasure is in front, and there are congenital strong people as guarantees, so they can't help but agree!
Moreover, being able to take out a spirit stone and buy a broken maidservant, even the Ma family does not want to offend easily!
So, the girl followed Wu Ming back to the room, Liu Zhenhai continued to investigate, and Liu Wu led the team to search for the treasure ship.
In addition to the death of the shopkeeper, the people in the treasure ship all returned to the room, as if nothing had happened!
"Young Master, are you alone?"
When she came to the room, the girl's eyes wandered and asked casually.
"Well, it's just me, are you hiring?"
Wu Ming smiled and said lightly.
"Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, the woman's delicate body trembled slightly, and her miserable white face was full of incomprehension.
