Chapter 263: Water Ghosts Are Inner Ghosts
Bai Junzhuo pointed to the person who was tied up by the five flowers over there: "Is that the Wind Captain?" ”
Yin Mu listened to her and ordered the guards behind him, "You go over and wake people up." ”
The guard took the order, went over to the wind speed and loosened the tie, and woke him up again.
The wind speed and the look a little top-heavy, in front of Yin Mu, who walked the aisle with the support of the guards: "Your Majesty." ”
Yin Mu nodded and asked, "Why are you lying here tied up?" ”
Feng Shuo and frowned, he seemed to be very confused, he thought for a while, and said: "My subordinates don't know, I felt a little dizzy after eating just now, and then I went back to my room to sleep, and when I woke up, I found that all of you were ......"
Yin Xun also spoke: "Brother Huang, I seem to feel abnormally sleepy after eating. ”
"I seem to feel something...... Yin Mu said, turning around and instructing the guards, "You go and wake everyone up, and call everyone to the deck." ”
The guard took the order, and everyone waited on deck.
Bai Junzhuo pulled Yin Xun behind and asked him, "Zisu, you just said that you felt very sleepy after eating, and you are still abnormally sleepy?" ”
Yin Xun nodded: "It seems that I am not the only one, the imperial brother and the captain of the wind are both." ”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly thought of the bowl of drugged food she hadn't eaten, originally she thought that this was someone who wanted to deal with her and deliberately served it in her meal. Now it seems that the man must have served everyone's food.
But who drugged them? And why drug them?
"Do you know what we just saw? Is that black thing? Yin Xun asked her.
Bai Junzhuo shook his head: "I don't know what it is, I came out to take a look when I heard the sound of something falling into the water, and I saw the black monster, carrying Captain Feng, as if he wanted to throw him into the river." I screamed, and they put down Captain Wind and came over to deal with me. ”
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Bai Junzhuo shook his head. At this time, everyone was almost there, checked it, and said, "Your Majesty, my entourage is gone." ”
When Bai Junzhuo heard him say this, he thought of the sound of falling water that he heard in his sleep, so he went over and said, "I guess I was thrown into the river by those black things, do you want to stop the boat and send someone down to save people?" ”
Yin Mu immediately asked people to stop the boat and sent people into the water to see if they could save people. He turned back to Bai Junzhuo and asked, "What black thing?" ”
Yin Xun told everyone what he had just seen for Bai Junzhuo, and after hearing it, everyone was in an uproar, guessing what that thing was.
At this time, Shen Qing suddenly pulled out his knife and said to the door of the dark cabin under the ship: "Come out!" ”
Everyone was drunk by Shen Qing, and they all turned their heads to look at the dark hatch.
Shen Qing saw that the people inside didn't come out, so he went over and opened the door, forcibly saw the people inside, pulled them out and threw them in front of everyone, and said, "Who are you?" What do you sneaky do? ”
The man looked thirty or forty years old, like an honest and responsible person, seeing so many people looking at him, it was inevitable that he was a little nervous, and said tremblingly: "I, I am the boatman you found, I am responsible for driving the boat, wait, I will get off the ship when I get out of Hanzhong." ”
"A boatman?" Shen Qing glanced at Yin Mu, and when he saw Yin Mu nodded, he took the knife back and said to him, "You go down, don't eavesdrop on us." ”
The boatman turned around and ran, and after running for a while he stopped, and then turned back to the crowd and said, "The black thing you saw just now is a water ghost!" ”
He only said this, and when he finished speaking, he was about to run again, Bai Junzhuo hurriedly tugged on Yin Xun's sleeve, Yin Xun understood, and said to the man: "Slow." ”
The boatman stopped, turned to his head, and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"You made things clear, how do you know that the black thing is a water ghost? Why did those water ghosts tie people up and throw them into the river? Bai Junzhuo stepped forward and asked.
The man didn't know if he was just waiting to be asked, Bai Junzhuo had just finished asking, and he immediately replied: "I have heard many times about the haunting of water ghosts on this boat, the bigger the ship, the easier it is to be haunted, and it is possible for a ship as big as yours to come up with seventeen or eighteen water ghosts." They tied you up and threw you into the river to eat your flesh. ”
Bai Junzhuo frowned and said, "Since that water ghost wants to eat our meat, wouldn't it be good to eat it directly on the boat, why should you throw it into the river?" Could it be that water ghosts like to eat dumplings? ”
The boatman didn't expect Bai Junzhuo to ask him like this, usually after he finished telling this story, others were so scared that they would never ask such a tricky question. The boatman didn't know how to answer.
Bai Junzhuo saw that he couldn't answer, so he no longer embarrassed him and said, "Okay, you go down first, and I'll ask you when I think of other questions." ”
The boatman nodded again and again and retreated.
After a while, several people who had gone down the river came up and rescued the entourage with the wind speed. The man was drowning and delirious, and it took a lot of effort to save his life.
After the wind blowing outside for so long, everyone was almost awake, Fu Mingyue went over and said to Yin Mu: "Your Majesty, the concubine felt that she had an unbearable headache and was drowsy, and asked others, all of them were like this, presumably the meal at night should have been drugged." ”
When Bai Junzhuo heard Fu Mingyue say this, he turned his head to look at them. She also knew that she was drugged, but she didn't say it, and now she just listened to what Fu Mingyue thought.
Yin Mu nodded and said, "It should be." ”
Fu Mingyue's face was not very good, and she leaned into Yin Mu's ear and said something to Yin Mu, and Yin Mu's face immediately changed.
Bai Junzhuo didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but he knew by looking at this expression that it wasn't a good thing. She didn't want to know, so she pulled Yin Xun's clothes and said, "Zisu, it's a little cold outside, let's go back." ”
Yin Xun nodded and went back to the room with her.
When they arrived in the room, the two closed the door, and Yin Xun asked her, "Are you so nervous, are you really afraid of water ghosts?" ”
"Of course not," Bai Junzhuo shook his head and said, "I don't think the water ghosts need to drug each of us before they can harm us." ”
"yes, what do you think is going on?" Yin Xun asked her.
Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked him, "Zisu, don't you think that black thing looks a little like the skin of something that people are wearing?" ”
"What's the skin?" Yin Xun thought for a moment and said to her, "I look like I'm wearing kelp." ”
Bai Junzhuo was amused by him, nodded and said, "Yes, when you say this, I also feel like a person wearing a sea belt." ”
"So you suspect that someone has come to our ship to harm people by pretending to be this water ghost?" Yin Xun asked her, "But who is it, and what are you trying to harm us?" ”
Bai Junzhuo said: "Didn't the boatman just say that the bigger the ship, the greater the chance of being attacked by water ghosts?" So I think it's probably the water ghosts who are trying to make money, and they are hiding somewhere in the fog that we just passed, and when the passing ships pass by, they will pretend to be water ghosts and swim into the boat, throw all the people on board into the river, and take the money from the boat. ”
Yin Xun listened, nodded and said, "Very likely." ”
"But when did they get on the boat, and when did they drug us?" Bai Junzhuo said to himself, suddenly got up and said, "Zisu, I'll go out and take a look, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Before Yin Xun could speak, Bai Junzhuo opened the door and flashed out.
Bai Junzhuo went straight to the kitchen, but she didn't expect to see Yin Mu also after arriving, she was stunned for a moment, then turned her head back, wanting to wait for him to leave and come over.
Unexpectedly, Yin Mu found her and said loudly: "You don't need to run away when you see me, right?" ”
Bai Junzhuo couldn't escape, so he had to turn his head and wanted to salute him, but Yin Mu's hand had already stretched out and said, "I said that you don't have to bow every time, this is not in the palace." ”
Bai Junzhuo straightened up, lowered his head, and didn't take the initiative to speak, thinking about what excuse he wanted to find to leave him.
Yin Mu asked her, "You came here, did you also want to find clues from the food at night, and then find out who gave the medicine?" ”
Bai Jun was stunned for a moment, since he said "also", it means that he also came to investigate. I didn't expect Yin Mu to be so idle recently, and he would investigate the case by himself.
Yin Mu didn't wait for her to answer, and continued: "Mingyue told me a conjecture about her just now, do you want to hear it?" ”
Bai Junzhuo looked up at him at this time, what he said was what Fu Mingyue secretly told him just now?
"Mingyue suspects that there are ghosts on our ship and wants to murder me." She was still hesitating to know, so Yin Mu said first: "All of us have been caught unsuspectingly, if we are really caught by that inner ghost, I will die and have no place to be buried." It's scary to think about. ”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, "If I want to murder you, I will definitely not start with Captain Feng first, the first one will tie you up and throw you into the river, and everything will be fine in an instant." ”
Yin Mu was not angry at her words at all, and said, "Listening to your tone, do you think this matter is not ours?" ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, "I think those who want to harm us should first throw away Captain Feng, just because Captain Feng's room is at the forefront, and they plan to come one by one until they throw us all into the river, and this boat and the things on board are theirs." ”
"You seem to know who's doing it?" Yin Mu asked.
Bai Junzhuo shook his head: "I don't know for the time being, it's all just speculation." First of all, I need to know who gave the drug. ”
"It's a pill for anyone who came to the kitchen before dinner." Yin Mu looked at Bai Junzhuo and said, "I heard that before dinner, you came here, didn't you?" ”
Bai Junzhuo had been here, but she didn't come in.
She didn't want to hide it, so she nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't come in, I just lingered at the door for a while and went back." ”
Yin Mu asked again, "Then why didn't you eat dinner?" Is it to stay awake? ”
Bai Junzhuo can understand it now, Yin Mu's meaning is very clear, she is the inner ghost who drugged everyone and tried to harm him.
