Zhen Chutian of Fulai County needs to kneel and salute, and the rest of Zhen Chutian is like to ignore it, but he never thought that Jiang Hu's hierarchy here is so strict, and he just kneels at every turn, and Jiang Hu is so reluctant to enter the court.

originally planned to help Li Qing stay in Jianghu for some time after this case, but now Zhen Chutian is eager to catch the murderer as soon as possible, and then set off back to Fulai County.

The speeding carriage stopped halfway down the road.

Zhen Chutian frowned slightly, and after a while, a person came in, instinctively wanting to make a move, but was blocked by that person.

"It's me."

A deep voice sounded in Zhen Chutian's ears, and he stopped Zhen Chutian's move, and after seeing Gu Chenghan enter the carriage, Yu Linglong drove the carriage away quickly.

"Hmm, Zhen Chutian!"

There was a low roar from inside the carriage, but the people outside were all on the merchant ship.

"Huh?"

Zhen Chutian glanced up, and saw that Gu Chenghan was still holding his hand, so the hand that he had just put down was raised again.

"This is not intentional on purpose!"

Gu Chenghan took the opportunity to let go of Zhen Chutian, and reached out to rub it where Zhen Chutian had just beaten.

The colorful face made Zhen Chutian purse the corners of her mouth slightly, she didn't have much hands just now, when did Gu Chenghan become so delicate? It was just a light slap.

"When did Master Gu become so weak?"

"You!"

After Gu Chenghan glanced at Zhen Chutian, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything all the way until he reached his destination.

With Gu Chenghan, a big official, Zhen Chutian and them got on the ship exceptionally smoothly, and there were a few people standing on the merchant ship of Nuoda, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Master Gu?"

Just as he was about to walk in, he saw a slightly chubby man walk out and greet Gu Chenghan with a happy face.

Standing proudly in front, he turned a blind eye to the ecstatic captain.

"Are all the ships here?"

"It's already here, just wait for Lord Gu to come, don't you know, it's not too much to say that people are panicking on the villain's boat now, and I can't go to sea because of this matter, my lord, you have to catch the damn murderer quickly."

Because of his age, he is full of flattery on his face, which always makes people feel a little funny.

There were a total of thirty-seven people on the boat, and now there are only twenty-two people left, and the people who came around in threes, threes, twos, and twos had different looks, some were expectant, some were afraid, and even some were a little unreal excitement on their faces.

Secretly wrote down the people who looked a little excited, and said to Gu Chenghan, Zhen Chutian gathered the rest one by one, found a cabin at random and walked in.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Chenghan, who was standing on the Yang sail pole, saw Zhen Chutian walk out with a somewhat tired expression.

"What's the clue?"

Zhen Chutian glanced at the crew members who were still gathered together in twos and threes, and said with a solemn face, "To put it simply, these twenty-two people are divided into three factions. ”

"Three factions?"

It's not that Jiang Hu's arrest has not been checked before, why have they never said this?

"Well, from their words, it can be analyzed, presumably Lord Gu, you should be able to see where the people who came out of the cabin I asked about were going, right? Did you unconsciously go to a pile after coming out? After waiting for the next acquaintance, a few more people gathered together, but so? ”

Seeing Gu Chenghan nodded, Zhen Chutian continued.

"The few people over there who seem to have some knowledge are this faction, they think this is a long-term deliberate murder, all they say is speculation about the murderer, they are secretly suspicious, and the smoke of gunpowder is full but there is no evidence."

"This second faction is the people who obey the arrangement with the imperial court, and it is the people of this faction who surround us as soon as they see us, along with the captain, this faction does not seem to have any independent thoughts, everything they hear and think is to obey the will of the government, and even for my questioning, I don't know and don't say anything, and every last sentence is to ask us to catch the murderer quickly."

"This third faction is the most common, that is, the god theory, they think it's all because the gods are doing it, and they think they think they collided with the dragon king when they went out to sea, so the dragon king blames them, the funny thing is that these people don't seem to believe in a god, you see that there are no ones hanging around their necks, and there are all kinds of clothes on their hands."

said one by one, and pointed to the classification he said to Gu Chenghan as he spoke.

Gu Chenghan's face became more and more solemn, and after listening to Zhen Chutian's words, he calmed down his thoughts, but he didn't see his subordinates come back for a long time.

"Where did they go? Didn't we go to ask questions together? ”

originally wanted Zhen Chutian to bring more of his subordinates, but why did Zhen Chutian have already sorted out some clues, but those people don't know where they went.

"Just now, Chu Tian told Master Gu that you have three categories, do you remember? Among them, the group of praying for God and worshiping Buddha originally thought that they had collided with the Dragon King on the way to the boat, but they actually bought a woman in Jianghu, intending to use the woman to sacrifice to the Dragon King. ”

Looking up at the sea in the distance, the calm sea does not know how many dangers are hidden, and even this ship that has been walking on the sea has caused such a big nightmare for some reason, and even made the originally soft-hearted people abandon other people's lives for their own interests.

"Sacrifice to the Dragon King? So they went to save the woman? How do you know that this woman is still on the boat? ”

looked at Zhen Chutian for a long time, Gu Chenghan did not hesitate, but his eyes were full of doubts, I don't know why Zhen Chutian didn't follow Yu Linglong and the others to save the girl.

"The dragon king is the overlord of this sea to them, and he can bless them with safety in and out, but this overlord will not be on this dock, naturally in the deep sea, and he wants to sacrifice to the dragon king, how can he let that woman come back alive? For better results, they naturally wanted to take the woman to the deep sea, but unfortunately now the ship was seized by the government at the dock in Jianghu. ”

Zhen Chutian hesitated for a moment before explaining to Gu Chenghan.

Gu Chenghan, who was just asking, just asked casually, thinking that Zhen Chutian would not answer, after all, before Zhen Chutian opened his mouth because of his words such as asking for advice, Zhen Chutian, who had received so much money, just taught a lesson casually, and now it made Gu Chenghan a little surprised.

Gu Chenghan turned his head to look at Zhen Chutian, but he saw some embarrassment from her expressionless face, but he really couldn't figure out what Zhen Chutian was still embarrassed about now.

"Isn't that thankful that the ship has now been detained, otherwise another living human life would have been lost? Or is it because of those strange reasons? Oh no, this is dehumanizing for this official, after all, to scourge a yellow flower girl for the sake of an ethereal thing. ”

Gu Chenghan said unconsciously, but he also subconsciously lowered his voice, he didn't know why he was like this, he just felt that following Zhen Chutian's meaning to speak and do things was also for the case to be solved smoothly.

Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan with a sideways face, and was indeed surprised to see Gu Chenghan this time, "Gu Chenghan, don't you believe in these so-called gods?" ”

"Huh? The official naturally doesn't believe it, if there really is any so-called god, how can there be only punishment? If the officials believe in the gods like the people, then wouldn't there be no need to solve the case? It only takes a few sticks of incense to know everything, isn't that a mess? ”

Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian as if he had heard something funny, and he smiled as he spoke, but he had never seen Zhen Chutian so surprised, and he was a little stunned for a while.

The cold temperament was stained with some emotions that seemed indescribable, and Zhen Chutian was like a god who had fallen into the mortal world, involuntarily confusing the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people in the mortal world.

"Well, what Master Gu said is very true."

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, Zhen Chutian turned his head to look at the sea in the distance, and his good impression of Gu Chenghan in his heart was a little more.

Originally, it was because I heard those gods say so expectantly during the interrogation that they would buy a yellow flower girl, and only throw the woman down the next time the ship set off to the sea where the dragon king 'lived', and go to sacrifice the dragon king who had condemned them to bless their own life, but they didn't take into account how much despair the woman who was about to be thrown down by them should have in her heart.

Zhen Chutian himself is an atheist, and he is not exclusive to believing in gods, but the premise is that they will not do such unreasonable things because of their own selfish desires.

Gu Chenghan couldn't deny that after glancing at Zhen Chutian, he stopped talking, Zhen Chutian finally said something he liked, but he didn't continue to look for his own unhappiness, but Yu Linglong came in time.

"My lord, Chu Tian, there is indeed such a woman, and now she has been rescued, and Song Jiang is examining that woman."

Yu Linglong ran over in three steps and two steps, with a sense of excitement on her face because she had just saved a woman and a sense of justice that seemed to be nothing.

After hearing those foolish people talk about this woman during the interrogation, Yu Linglong and the others have been worried about the woman, but fortunately, Zhen Chutian spoke before them, and because of Zhen Chutian's words, they found a lot less corner, and also saved the woman who was a little emotionally broken.

The merchant ship is very large, but it does not mean that every cabin is generally large, and the bottom is the place where the other party's sundries are, and few people usually turn down to the bottom to check, unless there is a surprise situation, and the bottom cabin is the best place for Tibetans.

The twenty-two were not all inhumane people, and they had agreed with their deities before, but after hearing that they were going to go to the untouchable bazaar to buy a woman with a beautiful face to worship the dragon king, they no longer bothered with their so-called deity.

Even because they were afraid that they would really find such a woman to sacrifice to the Dragon King, some people even stared directly at the actions of several of them, because they had been carefully hiding the woman who had been bought.

Because Zhen Chutian and the others suddenly came to the merchant ship today, they had not yet sent food and drink to the woman, they stayed at the bottom of the cabin in the dark all day, feeling the surging action of the sea water and floating with it, and they couldn't perceive what the sky outside was like now, only knowing that they were approaching death step by step.

Died in a place where he once relied on the sea and land for his life because Jiang Hu was close to the sea, until he was rescued and taken out of the cabin, he was still a little uncomfortable with this sudden brightness, and even very scared.

Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan followed Yu Linglong to a cabin in the corner, although the inside was still messy, but it was much better than the dim bottom, which was still a little narrow and cramped.
