Chapter 977: Missing
After getting some news from the old spy, the two walked around Linjiang City twice, especially at the gate of the county government for a while before returning to the Juque. When he entered the cabin, he picked up the paper figure, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the corner, and the two sat down in the cabin.
"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, this day is really ...... Cozy! Wei Yaoqing stretched her waist and half lay on the soft couch, and said, "So, I like Wang Xu and Cui Jing who are clever, and many things will be solved by themselves without us interfering." ”
"Those who are able to work hard, they will not retreat, and they will stand in front of them when there is something, so the children of the clan are still very good at teaching the clan." I didn't care if Pei Zongzhi said or not, she continued to babble, "I just like this kind of ...... who doesn't flinch when things happen."
Pei Zongzhi was drinking water, and the old spy's sugar man was so sweet that he ate too much, and his mouth was a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but glance at her when he heard the words and said, "They don't flinch when they encounter problems, so is it convenient for you to hide behind?" ”
"Gee, I'm embarrassed to say that." said "I'm sorry", but people don't have the slightest embarrassment of your consciousness, the girl smiled and leaned on the soft collapse, "I hid behind to wait for the opportunity to make a move, and if I don't make a move, it's amazing." ”
Pei Zongzhi sighed, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a noise outside. The two glanced at each other, got up and opened the hatch, and looked out, but saw that there were many people standing at the bow of the boat wearing robes and hats, holding hemp ropes tied with iron hooks in their hands, and rowing against the river.
In the noise, Cui Jing's clear sound of "opening the boat" was heard, Er Mang raised his trembling hands, and the only two shipwrights left on the boat looked at each other, but neither of them moved.
Cui Jing didn't care, beckoned, and after a while, a few people dressed as shipwrights walked across the pedal from the Xie family's cargo ship and got on the Juque, and then walked into the cabin, and after a while, the Juque slowly left the dock.
"What is this for?" Wei Yaoqing and Pei Zongzhi walked over with an oil umbrella, and glanced at the man with the iron hook in his hand, "Catch a big fish?" ”
Wang Xu glanced at her and didn't speak.
She didn't care, but her eyes fell on Lin Shitong, who couldn't see the look on his face clearly, paused, and blurted out, "Or the river god?" ”
Lin Shitong raised his head suddenly, his eyes looked at him coldly, but this look collided with the girl's eyes that looked at him with a smile.
His face stiffened for a moment, but he looked away as if he were nothing, and continued to turn to Cui Jing and said, "Lord Cui, this matter is not trivial, please think twice, if you really anger the 'River God', the consequences are unimaginable." ”
"Lord Schelling, we have thought about it." Cui Jing nodded at him, and after saying this, he looked at the river with a sigh of regret.
Wang Xu stood aside, squinted at Lin Shitong, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Lord Lin not believe in the river god?" Since you don't believe in a river god, what are you afraid of angering this unwarranted thing? ”
Lin Shitong said: "There are many things that can't be explained so far. ”
"If you can't explain it, please ask this river god to come up and talk." Wang Xu said and yawned, "Lord Lin is watching from the sidelines!" ”
Lin Shitong nodded, looked at Wang Xu, and said in a cold tone, "It's a good thing for adults to dare to act when they are young, but sometimes it's not beautiful to be too impulsive." ”
Wang Xu narrowed the smile on his face: "Are you threatening me? ”
Lin Shitong said: "The lower officials don't dare." ”
Wang Xu snorted coldly: "If you had dared earlier, you wouldn't have died, and dozens of people haven't figured out what's going on." ”
Lin Shitong glanced at him and stepped aside.
Even the investigating officials of the Ministry of Officials, the children of the clan with a deep background, dare to speak out, what kind of "old county order" is this that is timid and afraid of trouble and afraid of trouble, and the term of office is about to expire? This is clearly bold.
While a few people were talking, the Juque had already driven to the center of the river, and after two turns around the whirlpool on the river before, the boat came to a steady stop.
Wei Yaoqing held the edge of the boat with one hand, and the umbrella in his hand was also handed over to Pei Zongzhi, watching the four good hands tie the rope around their waists, bite the dagger in their mouths, and jump into the Linjiang River with an iron hook in their hands.
After a few ups and downs in the water, several people emerged from the surface of the river and said, "I haven't found anything yet, I want to look deeper." ”
Cui Jing nodded, "Be careful." ”
Several people gestured and dived back into the water.
This time, it was much longer than before, and as the bubbles came up less and less, the crowd became anxious to wait.
No one spoke except for the sound of rain falling on the deck and on the river, and there was a noisy silence on the deck.
"It's been a long time since there's been movement." A female voice suddenly appeared.
Seeing that it was the female boat passenger who had just spoken indiscriminately, Lin Shitong frowned and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but Cui Jing, who was as arrogant as gold, suddenly exclaimed, "Pull people up!" ”
Several officials were stunned for a moment, and then put away the rope, at first they didn't notice anything, but the more they said it, the more they felt that something was wrong, and the rope was tightened faster and faster. When it was finished, it was found that the end tied to the hands of those good water pickers was empty, and the cut surface was neat, as if it had been cut off by a sharp weapon.
"Get down down and find someone!" Er Mang, whose face changed greatly from the sidelines, immediately took off his coat and called out the boatmen in the cabin loudly.
However, compared to Er Mang's reaction, the two shipwrights were completely different, they refused to step forward, but their eyes glanced at Cui Jing who ordered from time to time and said, "Four lives have already been delivered, we don't ......"
With a "bang", a cold light flashed, and a dagger swayed slightly on the wooden board.
The two boatmen looked at the person who threw the dagger in astonishment, which was the female boatman who had made a strange voice before.
"Hey...... Don't go too far......"
Wang Xu interrupted them with a loud voice: "Arrest it." ”
The two boatmen didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the next moment they found out that they were the ones who had been arrested.
"Enough!" An angry reprimand interrupted everyone's movements, it was Lin Shitong who made a sound, after listening to the two boatmen shouting "Adult", he didn't look at the two people, and went straight to Wang Xu, Cui Jing and others, "Several officials, the adults of Dali Temple are really a great official, ran to my Linjiang City, a place with a big palm to show off their might, fishing lost the hook, they bullied the people, and arrested people at will. ”
"Okay, you go and participate!" Cui Jing nodded at him and said, "I will never stop you from going to participate, but before that, return our people first!" ”
