Chapter 264: Solving the Mystery of the Water Ghost

Bai Junzhuo could hear that Yin Mu was suspicious of her, so he explained unhurriedly: "I didn't eat dinner because I smelled a lot of drugs in that meal, but at first I just thought that someone wanted to deal with me, so I drugged my meal, but I didn't expect that person to give it to everyone." ”

Yin Mu leaned on the table casually, looked at her and said, "How can I listen to your side?" ”

Bai Junzhuo looked at him, and he didn't really mean to punish her. He reasoned with him: "I heard someone fall into the water, so I rushed out to save Captain Feng, and Zisu can also testify that we were indeed attacked by a group of unknown objects." Other than that, I have nothing to do with Captain Wind, so why would I want to harm him? Even if I really wanted to hurt him, how could I come up with such a stupid way to stun all of you and throw him into the river again? Wouldn't it be better if I just poisoned it? Bai Junzhuo said, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yin Mu, and said, "Or does Your Majesty think that I don't have the ability to kill a person unknowingly?" ”

Yin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "I naturally know that you are capable. I don't believe you did it, but in that case, do you know who is really doing it? ”

Bai Junzhuo's fingertips twisted the ginger on the table, and said with a smile: "It's almost there." ”

"Oh? Then I'll just wait. ”

Bai Junzhuo bowed his head slightly and sent him away, and after he left, Bai Junzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, looked carefully in the kitchen, and suddenly saw a piece of yellow oiled paper in the wooden barrel weighing garbage, took it out and smelled it, and there was still some smell of drug. On the outside of the paper there is a big red seal of "Mo Ji Yaotang".

"Mo Ji ......" Bai Junzhuo muttered, and it happened that Ju'an came over at this time, and said to Bai Junzhuo: "Princess, the prince said that this ship is not safe, so ask the slave maid to protect you closely." ”

Bai Junzhuo tilted his head sideways and looked at Ju An for a while, and suddenly asked her, "Ju An, who is the person who is cooking tonight?" Is it our people? ”

Ju An nodded, "Of course it's our people, they are all separated from the army. ”

"That's ......" Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment, and said to Ju An: "You go and help me check if those boatmen have come here before dinner." ”

When he answered, he turned and went out to investigate. Bai Junzhuo also went back to his room, and when he entered, he asked Yin Xun: "Zisu, you asked me to see the dossiers of the pharmacists in various places before, is the largest pharmacist in Hanzhong surnamed Mo?" ”

Yin Xun nodded and said, "It's surnamed Mo." ”

"Then there is a pharmacist surnamed Mo in Chang'an City?"

Yin Xun thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, even if there is, it will be a Xiaolangzhong at most, and it will not be from the Medicine Hall." ”

"That's it," Bai Junzhuo took out the piece of paper and said, "The paper wrapped in the drug belongs to the Mo family." This proves that the drug given to us was bought in Hanzhong, and it also shows that it is not an internal ghost, because if it is an internal ghost, he will not temporarily intend to buy the drug in Hanzhong, he should have bought it from Chang'an as early as possible. ”

Yin Xun listened and said: "You are right, and we are walking on a secluded path, and no one has the opportunity to buy medicine in the city." ”

Bai Junzhuo nodded, holding the piece of paper and thinking about something, and after a while, he heard Ju An knocking on the door outside.

Bai Junzhuo let her in, and Ju An said: "The slave maid has already asked clearly, before dinner, those boatmen also went to the kitchen, saying that they were begging for some food. ”

"That's right, there are motives and time to commit the crime," Bai Junzhuo said, turned to Yin Xun and said, "Zisu, I already know who drugged us, and I also know who the water ghosts who have been doing evil on the river all these days are." ”

Yin Xun was puzzled: "Who is it?" ”

"It was the local boatmen who accompanied them," Bai Junzhuo explained, "and they released the news of this water ghost, and said that there was a fog in the river, and it would definitely get lost without a local, so people passing by would find a few locals to lead the way." When they got on board, they took the opportunity to drugged the ship's owner unconscious, threw them into the water, and then took the ship's belongings. ”

When Ju An heard this, he patted his head and said, "The princess still remembers that the slave maid told you before, does the slave maid think those local shipwrights are very strange?" The slaves and maids have bumped into them many times and whispered to them about something, and when they seized the opportunity, they told us about the haunting on the river, and they talked more eloquently than the slaves. Now it seems that their purpose is nothing more than to make us believe that there are ghosts on this river, so that they can pretend to be ghosts! ”

Yin Xun thought for a moment and asked, "However, why did they only give us drugs and poison us directly. Medicine, isn't it faster? It also saves the step of throwing us into the river one by one. ”

"Didn't you tell every drugmaker to ban selling large quantities of drugs. Do you give medicine to someone else? They wanted to stun the whole boat, and a small amount was definitely not enough, so they had to buy a lot of drugs. ”

"It makes sense, this paper from the Moji Medicine Hall can also be used as evidence." Yin Xun said, "I'll go and tell the imperial brother and ask him to deal with these gangsters who pretend to be ghosts on the river." ”

"Wait," Bai Junzhuo pulled him and said, "If you arrest them like this, they will inevitably refuse to admit it, you first send someone to search where they live, didn't they jump into the river just now?" I'm sure you'll be able to find something like a black cloak that's still wet. ”

Yin Xun nodded and instructed Ju An: "Ju An, you will bring someone over to search." ”

Ju An received the order and immediately went out to lead someone to search for it.

Yin Xun also went to tell Yin Mu what Bai Junzhuo had just said, and Yin Mu went with Yin Xun to the place where the boatmen were, and when they got there, they saw the black cloak that had been searched, and the cloak was still wet, which proved that these people had just climbed out of the river.

Yin Xun recognized that these cloaks were worn by the people who attacked them before, so he said to Yin Mu: "Brother Huang, now that people have obtained stolen goods, what should we do with them?" ”

Those locals all knelt on the ground together, and at this moment they didn't know the identity of Yin Mu and the others, and begged for mercy: "Everyone, let us go, we also have enough to eat, anyway, we didn't harm you this time, why do you have to take our lives?" ”

Yin Mu sneered: "Is it possible, do you want to let you continue to do evil on this river, and let you continue to harm people?" ”

The boatmen kowtowed in unison and said, "Don't dare, I promise that I will change my ways in the future." ”

Yin Mucai didn't believe them, and he didn't want to talk to them more. He asked them, "Do you confess to what you have done in the face of all this evidence?" ”

Those shipwrights had nothing to deny, and they also felt that Yin Mu and these people were just ordinary wealthy businessmen, and they should not be qualified to execute them. They had to be brought ashore to meet the officials, and on the way they had many opportunities to escape.

They all nodded and admitted, "We confess, confess." ”

"Well, since you confess your sins, I will also let you taste the pain of being drowned alive." Yin Mu smiled faintly and ordered: "Come on, tie them up tightly and throw them into the river!" ”

When the boatmen heard this, their faces turned pale and looked frightened, but they did not beg for mercy.

After all, ropes or something are not difficult for them, and when they are in the water, it is their world, and it is possible for several people to work together to overturn this ship.

Yin Mu seemed to know their thoughts, and added another sentence, "By the way, lock it with iron chains, lock it tightly, and don't let them have a chance to escape!" ”

When several boatmen heard this, they knew that this person was right and wanted to kill them, and there was no chance of escape, so they all kowtowed to Yin Mu desperately, but Yin Mu and Yin Xun had already turned around and left.

When he arrived on the outer deck, Yin Mu said to Yin Xun: "Zisu, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would really think that it was the inner ghost who did it, and I would be suspicious of my soldiers, which is definitely not good for me." ”

Yin Xun said: "Brother Huang, thank me, thank you wrong, everything I know is what Jun Zhuo told me, I just passed on a word for her." ”

"Oh? Is it her? Yin Mu remembered the situation in the kitchen just now, the corners of her mouth curled slightly and said to herself, "It's almost time", but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and she found out the matter.

"She's so good." Yin Mu looked into the distance and said with emotion.

Yin Xun followed his line of sight, was silent for a long time, and said, "Brother Huang, Jun Zhuo seems to have misunderstood you recently. ”

Yin Mu smiled slightly, turned his head to look at him and said, "What did she misunderstand?" ”

"She actually misunderstood that the imperial brother was interested in her," Yin Xun also smiled, and said helplessly: "It is estimated that I spoil her too much on weekdays, everything is based on her, and everyone around her revolves around her, so that she has such a ridiculous idea, which is really unbelievable." Yin Xun paused, turned his face to look at Yin Mu and said, "Brother Huang, you won't have any thoughts about her, right?" ”

Seeing that he was asking seriously, Yin Mu couldn't help but pat the back of his head and said, "What are you thinking, she is your woman, you are my imperial brother, you don't even fight with me in the world, how can I fight with you for a woman?" ”

Yin Xun couldn't help touching the place where he was photographed by Yin Mu, and said, "Brother Huang laughed, this world is originally yours, why should I fight with you?" Since I was born, I haven't had the slightest interest in this country. ”

"Brother Huang naturally knows that you don't," Yin Mu grabbed Yin Xun's shoulder, looked at the newborn sun on the river with him, paused for a long time, and said: "Ninth brother, when you were first brought to Jingyang Palace by the queen mother, you were still a baby the size of a kitten, but at that time, I already knew a lot of things, and I also participated in the battle for imperial power early. I looked at you as pitiful as a kitten, and decided that no matter what you have to sacrifice in this life, you will also be protected for the rest of your life. But I didn't do it, and I got you into this endless strife. He turned his face to look at him and sighed, "Zisu, I owe you too much. ”

Yin Xun smiled faintly, turned his head to look at him and said: "But I am no longer the little kitten cub I used to be, I am now taller than the imperial brother, and I have enough ability to protect the imperial brother and protect our Yin family." ”

"Yes," Yin Mu looked at him and said, "You and me, there should be no barriers in this life." The matter of brotherly estrangement must not happen between you and me. ”

Yin Xun nodded lightly, slammed Yin Mu's chest and said, "Brother Huang is really, I just asked casually, you just said such hypocritical words, so that I don't know what to say." ”

Yin Mu laughed and said, "If you don't know what to say, don't say it, let's drink." ”
