She has seen hundreds of ghosts, and the appearance of ghosts is strange, and naturally there is nothing to look at.

But this female ghost has no face!

It seems that the whole skin was peeled off alive before his death, leaving a bloody and blurred surface, which hurts just to look at.

This is surrounded by the families of those missing women, and this female ghost stays here, I wonder if it has anything to do with the disappearance of those women?

King Tai'an saw that she was stunned and didn't move, and came over and called her softly: "Nanzhao, are you okay?" ”

Nan Zhao retracted her gaze and wanted to tell him about herself, but when she looked at the place where the female ghost was, the female ghost had disappeared!

"She's gone......" she whispered.

"What do you see? It's gone? ”

She nodded and replied, "Well, a woman without a face!" ”

"Faceless?"

"yes!" Nan Zhao sighed: "Where there are living people, there are dead people, and if the living have grievances, they can go to the yamen to beat drums and complain, but these dead people have grievances, they can't go to the underworld, they are left in this world, and they become lonely ghosts, who do they complain to?" ”

Xunhu went after the assassin, and now that he had returned, the two of them did not stay outside for long before entering the hall of the palace.

I saw that Lord Chen, Yuan Wu and others were discussing something over there against the map of Taizhou City, and a few people looking for dragons and tigers were standing next to them and saying other things.

Nan Zhao walked over slowly and asked Xunhu, "Did the assassin catch up?" ”

Xunhu shook his head: "This person is a good person, let him escape into the noisy alley behind Fengyue Street, but when he escaped, he left this!" ”

As he spoke, Xunhu presented a delicate and small crossbow, which was the same weapon that the assassin used when he carried out the assassination.

King Tai'an took it and took a closer look, but found nothing special except for the carved lines on the crossbow.

But Nan Zhao felt that something was wrong, she reached out and asked, "Lord Wang, can you show me this crossbow." ”

The other party was handed over to her.

She took the crossbow and looked at it carefully, and said, "Where do I seem to have seen the carved lines on this crossbow, let me think about it......"

She quickly remembered that in the "Zhuang's Secret Record", this kind of pattern was recorded, called 'Thunderbolt', which is a kind of rune used for curses, and it was recorded in the secret record that the curse of this pattern blessed things, killing people can make their souls controlled, not only killing people, but also their souls, which is really vicious.

When Nan Zhao saw this chapter at that time, he only felt that there were some jokes, which were not enough to believe, but he didn't think that someone really used this tattoo to kill people.

She told Zhou Yang what she had seen and heard, although Zhou Yang did not show fear on the surface, but melancholy gradually rose in his eyes, "Although this king is far away from the heavenly capital, he still can't stay away from the danger......

It was rare to see such a King of Tai'an, Nan Zhao asked out of concern: "The prince already knows, is that assassin sent by someone from Tiandu?" ”

Zhou Yang's eyes were gloomy, and he replied slowly: "You were born with a spirit flower, and the world regards you as a bad thing, and wants you to die." And I'm ...... Those who want me to die are my dearest relatives......"

"Lord Wang......" Nan Zhao really didn't know how to comfort him, so he silently stayed by the side.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang is humble and elegant on the outside, but he is not an indecisive person, and he soon sorted out his mood and once again devoted himself to the current disappearance case of a woman in Taizhou City.

Seeing that such a king of Tai'an, even if he encountered more evil, he could always maintain his own goodness, Nanzhao couldn't help but feel respect.

"The inside of the main city has been searched, nothing has been found, and only the outer city remains!" Ma Biao, the head catcher of the state capital, circled the location of the outer city on the map for everyone.

Master Chen said sternly: "Everyone has worked hard today, let's take a break, and search the outer city overnight!" Ouyang Gongzi's hexagram said that these missing women were all in the city, so the official concluded that there would be a result soon! ”

Everyone was a little tired, and when they heard this, they cheered up again.

Zhou Yang didn't take long to come over and say to Nan Zhao: "Let them search in the outer city, of course it is best to find it, if they can't find it, they have to prepare a back road, otherwise time is consuming, and it will be even more difficult to find those missing women!" ”

"The prince doesn't believe in Ouyang Bai's hexagram?"

The other party replied: "There are many people who have no name but no real ability, and this king only believes what he sees, and everything else can be an illusion." ”

Nan Zhao nodded, thinking that Shen Ru had commented on Ouyang Bai, and he also concluded that he would only be fur.

If Ouyang Bai is just a fur, she doesn't even count as skin, right?

"Then what is the back road of the prince?"

Zhou Yang analyzed: "We went to Fengyue Street during the day, although we found nothing, it doesn't mean that what we think is wrong. Just imagine, if someone kidnaps these women in Taizhou City for their own profits, it is considered human trafficking, these women are all locals, how can the people who kidnap them be stupid enough to put them on Fengyue Street. ”

Nan Zhao felt that this made sense, and she agreed: "If I am the one who kidnaps them, I must be sold elsewhere......"

"If you want to move elsewhere, so many people, it is easy to arouse suspicion, in order not to attract attention, it should not be by land!"

So together they thought: "Dock! ”

Zhou Yang immediately said eagerly: "Taizhou City is going to be turned over by the government, it is impossible for those kidnapped gangsters not to know, if we want to leave, we don't have much time, go to the dock now, check if there are any suspicious civilian and commercial ships to leave the port!" ”

"Good!"

After making up his mind, Zhou Yang immediately sent someone to prepare the carriage and headed straight for Taizhou Jianggang.

This port has long had a mature management system, and all the ships that enter the port and dock, as well as the ships that leave the port, are in charge of the port for the record, so before they arrived at the port, the dragon who rode a horse first had already taken the token of the king of Tai'an to the Bosi to transfer the travel book.

After Zhou Yang looked at it, he confirmed: "There will be two merchant ships leaving the port tonight, one is the merchant ship of Chaoyuan and the other is the merchant ship of Wan Baolu. ”

Hearing Chaoyuan's name, Nan Zhao's expression changed, "When did the Shen family's merchant ship leave the port?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Yang asked, "Don't you know?" ”

Nan Zhao had never asked about the Shen family's business, this young grandmother knew less about the Shen family than a maid, how could she know about the merchant ship.

It seemed that he was afraid of Nan Zhao's face, and Zhou Yang proposed: "Then let's go and search for Wanbaolu's merchant ships first!" ”

Nan Zhao had no objections, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Thinking that during the day, Shen Ru deliberately asked her to participate in solving the case, and when it was dark, he came to deliver food to him for the first time, should he ...... Shen Ruso has something to do with this case, right?

Shen Ru is neither a human nor a ghost, and he is against the sky, but he has never done anything to hurt the innocent.

So Nan Zhao was very scared, afraid that in the end, she would find out that Shen Rugu was really related to this case, so how would she face King Tai'an? Facing those Taizhou people who knelt outside the state capital and cried?

"The owner of this Wan Bao Lu family is surnamed Sun, although their business is not as big as Chaoyuan, but it has gradually become bigger over the years, many local businesses in Taizhou have been swallowed up by Wan Bao Lu, which can be regarded as a monopoly, and the only one who can compete with them for business is Chaoyuan!"

The people of Wan Baolu have been informed that the king of Tai'an wants to check the ship.

Wan Baolu soon had someone in charge come over and politely take them on the boat, Nan Zhao thought of Shen Ru's old thing, and was a little absent-minded, so she followed Zhou Yang silently.

"What's on board on your merchant ship?" Zhou Yang asked.

"It's a shipment to Yunzhou, with cloth and wine, and some rouge gouache." The steward was a fifty-year-old man, white and fat, and the people of Marbel called him the fat shopkeeper.

Zhou Yang took someone to the warehouse in person and ordered them to check the goods.

Nan Zhao saw that there were enough people in the warehouse, so he went to the back to check if there was a secret compartment on the ship that could hide the goods.

But in the end, it was determined that no, and soon, Zhou Yang also came out of the warehouse, shook his head at Nan Zhao and said, "Those are all ordinary commercial goods, there is no one we are looking for!" ”

In other words, there is no problem with the merchant ships of Marbel! Now only the merchant ships of the tide source are left!

On the way to the Shen family's merchant ship, Zhou Yang proposed: "Otherwise, you go and wait in the carriage, and this king can take Xunlong and them up to search." ”

Nan Zhao didn't intend to do this, she asked, "Is the prince worried that the result will make it difficult for me?" ”

Zhou Yang defaults.

Nan Zhao took a heavy breath and emphasized: "Since I am here, what is unacceptable? What's more, everything is just our conjecture now. ”

The other party also nodded in acknowledgment, so the group boarded the Shen family's merchant ship.

Nan Zhao, the person in charge, had seen it, and it was Uncle Pei who reported to the official last time to arrest her.

Originally, this merchant ship had been loaded, just waiting for the time to leave the port, and suddenly received an order to review, Uncle Pei had to wait here, but he didn't expect to see Nanzhao.

"It's you—" Uncle Pei spoke up, only then did he realize that something was wrong, and changed his tone and said, "Young lady, why did you come with these officials?" ”

Nan Zhao stepped forward and told the truth: "I was entrusted by the king of Tai'an to participate in the disappearance case of many women in Taizhou City......"

The other party didn't wait for her to finish explaining, so he looked like he knew the reason, and asked, "So the young lady took the prince to check her merchant ship?" ”

This matter, to say, is indeed staggering.

Nan Zhao explained: "It's just a coincidence! ”

"What a coincidence!" Uncle Pei sighed meaninglessly, and then said in a strange voice: "Then the young lady wants to check, hurry up and check, if the delivery time is delayed, but the compensation will be paid, and when the time comes, it will not be the young lady who has a headache, but the eldest young master!" ”

With so many pairs of eyes watching, Nan Zhao didn't show much wrong, and she was even more afraid that King Tai'an would be embarrassed because of her, so she said in a fair tone: "Lord Wang, search it, how to search Wan Baolu, how to search the source of the tide!" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yang agreed, and asked everyone to search the boat.

Nan Zhao also did not participate in the search of the ship, she stood on the deck, waiting for news.

The guys next to Chaoyuan knew that she was extremely fierce, and the old man on the deck whispered far away from her.

"She was paraded in the street for killing her husband not long ago, if it weren't for the eldest young master who went to intercede regardless of her previous suspicions, she would be under the Yellow Spring!"

"I thought that she had been born in the past few days, but she didn't want to, she actually brought people to search her own merchant ships, this is not revenge, what is it to eat inside and out?"

"I really don't understand, this kind of wicked woman, why didn't the eldest young master divorce her!"

"Shhh, be quiet, she will hear it for a while, be careful to send you to the west with a sword!"

“……”

Nan Zhao didn't bother to listen to their gossip, so he also went to the other side of the warehouse to see the search.

At this time, the search below has been completed, and the warehouse is also full of goods from the tide source.

Uncle Pei saw her coming down, and specially said to her, "Young lady, have you seen it?" No problem, right? ”

In fact, hearing the news, Nan Zhao was relieved.

But at this time, Xunlong shouted in the innermost.

"Lord Wang, there's a cabin here!"

When Uncle Pei heard this, his expression changed significantly, and he followed Zhou Yang to the door of the cabin over there, and saw a lock on the cabin door.

"This door is blocked by those goods, and if you don't look carefully, you can't find it!" Xunlong said to his master.

Zhou Yangzao noticed that Uncle Pei's expression was different, and he asked, "What is in this cabin, and why is it so locked?" ”

Uncle Pei replied embarrassedly: "I ...... I don't know what it is, and we don't usually go in! ”

"Open it and we're going to see!"

"The lock is on the eldest young master, and only he has the key......"

The dragon immediately drew his sword and slashed at the lock.

I thought that the lock would be cut directly, but I didn't expect that the sword blade was still intact except for the sparks that rubbed on the lock body.

"Grandma, this lock is so strong!" Xunlong looked at the long sword in his hand, and actually cut a gap.

Zhou Yang looked closer to see the lock, and quickly concluded: "This is a steel made of dark iron, which is not comparable to ordinary locks!" ”

That dark iron is extremely hard, and it is a high-quality weapon, which can be regarded as precious.

But Shen Rugu specially made such a lock and locked this cabin, there must be some unsavory secrets inside.

"Let me try again!" The dragon raised his sword again.

They got out of the way, and let him slash at the lock a few more times, but they couldn't open it.

Zhou Yang said to Uncle Pei: "Since only your eldest young master has the key, send someone to the Shen Mansion to get the key at this moment!" If necessary, please ask your eldest young master to come in person. ”

Uncle Pei didn't want to see Nan Zhao, but he didn't dare not take King Tai'an's words seriously, and immediately called someone to Shen Mansion to find Shen Ru.

After that, they waited for news on the Shen family's merchant ship, but the people sent to the Shen Mansion had not returned, and Yuan Wu and Ouyang Bai also rushed to the dock with people.

They seemed to have heard the news that the king of Tai'an had led people to check the ship, so they immediately came over, as if they were afraid that this big case would be solved without their credit.

The two of them took people on the Shen family's merchant ship, looked around, and came to the deck where Nan Zhao was.

Ouyang Bai said in his words: "I heard that this young master of the Shen family was born with congenital deficiencies and was riddled with diseases, I don't know, what precious medicinal materials have he eaten all these years, and he has cured this sick seedling that should have died a long time ago!" ”

Although this person was talking about this matter by Yuan Wu and others, his eyes kept staring at Nan Zhao like a thief.

Nan Zhao had something on his mind, so he didn't want to talk to him more.

I don't know, what's in the specially locked cabin below? Could it be related to the case of the woman's disappearance?

Here, Ouyang Bai saw that she didn't speak, so she thought she was weak-hearted, so she walked over and asked step by step: "Nan Zhao, you are born to be a bad thing, the body of the eldest young master of the Shen family, should be as far away from you as possible, why did he identify you, and even you carried a sword to kill your husband?" ”

Nan Zhao was annoyed by his question, and replied angrily: "Ouyang Gongzi is so capable, don't you know it?" Why bother to find the answer from my creature? ”

"You-" Ouyang Bai was in the state capital today, relying on Yuanwu to support him, so he was very presumptuous, and when he heard her words, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xunlong couldn't get used to this guy for a long time, so he took the opportunity to add: "Isn't the rumored Ouyang Gongzi just in vain?" The so-called strength depends on luck and guesswork? ”

"How dare you question my strength?" Ouyang Bai was very conceited, and his face changed even more angrily at this moment!

Zhou Yangwen, who had never spoken, said lightly: "Those who have strength are not afraid of questioning, and they are often people who are not strong enough to be afraid of being questioned!" ”

"Humph!" Ouyang Bai sneered and echoed: "King Tai'an is right, powerful people are not afraid of doubts, my Ouyang family's reputation in Daomen does not come out of thin air, how can I be afraid of doubts?" However, since the prince has put it forward, in order not to embarrass my family, he naturally wants to prove it. As he spoke, he looked at Nan Zhao: "Since you are a closed disciple of Qingyunzi Gaodao, you are already known to everyone at a young age, presumably, there are some skills, it is better for us to fight in front of General Yuan and King Tai'an, and see if it is my Ouyang family's yin and yang skills that are powerful, or your Qingyunguan's Tongtian technique is better?" ”

How to fight? Nan Zhao hesitated.

In the past, I had only heard of those uncles fighting with others, how unfathomable, she had never seen it with her own eyes, how did she know how to fight?

Besides, Ouyang Bai is the eldest son of the Ouyang family, and must have received their true inheritance of Yin and Yang Technique, and she is just a little Taoist aunt of Qingyun Temple, how can she be qualified to learn the Supreme Dao Method of Benguan "Tongtian Technique"?

Of course, Zhou Yang knew that with the current strength of Nan Zhao, fighting with Ouyang Bai was simply humiliating, so he opened his mouth and said: "Did Ouyang Gongzi forget, we are here at the moment, but we have something to do, and now the fighting method is a little out of place, right?" ”

Yuan Wu is aggressive by nature, he is Emperor Yan's person, although his grade is below Zhou Yang, he is an important person arranged by Emperor Yan to contain Zhou Yang in Taizhou.

This person knows very well that Zhou Yang is a prince who has been assigned to Taizhou and is not powerful, and he only has superficial compliments to Zhou Yang, and in his heart, he looks down on them the most These noble children who are only born and have a golden appearance, so he doesn't think it's a big deal at the moment and says: "What's wrong with it?" Everyone has been busy all day, and the results that should be there will be will be obtained soon, so it is okay to let these two people in the Dao Sect fight to relieve everyone's fatigue, isn't it...... Does the prince think that this young lady Shen has lost before the battle and does not dare to fight? ”

Zhou Yang was not provoked by him, and replied with a smile with Ren Ran's indifferent attitude: "Nan Zhao is injured, even if he loses, it is normal, why should this king worry about losing before fighting?" ”

Yuan Wu also laughed, and said very meanly: "The prince is really broad-hearted, he doesn't care about these fame, fortune and face, no wonder after the death of Concubine De, the prince Yi can be partial to this Taizhou, not fighting or grabbing, Yuan Wu really admires!" Admire! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the smiles on Zhou Yang's handsome face faded away, and they were replaced by a kind of forbearance anger, burning in his heart.

From the first day he met Zhou Yang, Nan Zhao knew that he was as gentle as jade and had an excellent temperament, even if he met a fierce mountain spirit, he looked like he was not afraid or afraid, when did he have such an emotional change? Not to mention anger!

Therefore, it can be seen that Yuan Wu's words really stabbed him the most sensitive place.

Ouyang Bai saw the change in King Tai'an's color, and said even more proudly: "Since King Tai'an admits that he doesn't dare to fight, I won't bully her!" ”

"Bullying?" Nan Zhao sneered, and walked out happily: "Since Ouyang Gongzi wants to show the Ouyang family's yin and yang technique so much, if Nan Zhao doesn't accompany him, won't he sweep everyone's face!" ”

"Nanzhao!" Zhou Yang looked over in surprise, he knew that Nan Zhao was not an aggressive person, why did he change his mind now?

Ouyang Bai was also surprised, a half-jar Dao Gu who couldn't even tell a hexagram, where did he get the courage to dare to respond to his fighting methods?

He asked in a cold voice: "Nan Zhao, the fighting method is not a trick, if you are not careful, it will kill people, are you sure you really want to fight with me?" ”

Although Nan Zhao was injured, he held his head high, and there was no trace of fear on his face, and replied: "Where do I look like I'm joking?" ”

Ouyang Bai sneered and muttered in his heart: Since you are looking for death, I might as well send you to see your master!

Zhou Yang came to Nan Zhao's side and asked worriedly: "Although this Ouyang Bai is not powerful, the power of their Ouyang family's yin and yang technique cannot be underestimated, you ...... it."

"Lord Wang!" Nan Zhao had already spoken, so there was no reason to retreat, and she also persuaded Zhou Yang in turn: "I'm not even afraid of the aquatic grass spirit in Danghu, will I be afraid of his Ouyang family's yin and yang technique?" ”

Zhou Yang didn't believe her, but he had heard of Ouyang Bai's comments, this person was arrogant and ruthless, and he was ruthless in fighting with people outside, and he was not merciless, if there was anything wrong with Nan Zhao in the fighting, it would really be fatal!

He asked Nan Zhao: "You are not an impulsive person, it is because of what Yuan Wu said to this king that you changed your mind and responded to the battle, right?" ”

Nan Zhao didn't look at him, but that's what happened.

Zhou Yang also saved her, she is one of the few people in this world who is good to her, and she always feels that she has no way to repay him; That Yuanwu is simply too deceitful, if she doesn't stand up to fight, she may not know how to ride on Zhou Yang's head in the future!

"You are willing to fight for me, and you are willing to take risks to fight for me, I am very happy to admire, but I never want you to have any mistakes because of this!"

"Lord Wang!" Nan Zhao didn't want him to worry too much, and said fearlessly: "I was born with a bad fate, and I abandoned the killing of the people, and I passed by life and death so many times, and it was not so easy to die!" ”

As she spoke, she smiled: "This may be the only advantage of my evil thing!" ”

Zhou Yang knew that she had made up her mind, and Yuan Wu and the others had already disembarked and waited for Nanzhao to go down to fight in the open space next to the port, so he no longer persuaded him, but only instructed: "It's really not good, don't be reckless, just admit defeat, okay Nanzhao?" ”

"Throw in the towel?" Nan Zhao walked down the boat, thinking of what Shen Rugu and Master Shande said that day: If I were killed, I would have no bones left!

At this moment, she said the same thing.

"If I admit defeat, I will admit it on Qingyun Mountain that day!"

At night at the wharf, the river wind swept wildly.

In order to prevent their fighting methods from hurting the innocents next to them, Ouyang Bai set up a fighting circle with wax oil on the spot.

With his back to the broad Jiujiang, standing in the distance, he saw her thin figure and limped into the fighting circle.

Xun Long asked on the side: "Master, you say, can Nan Zhao beat this Ouyang Bai?" ”

Zhou Yang didn't answer, he didn't take his eyes off Nan Zhao for a moment, only told him: "She is a spirit girl!" ”

The fighting method is about to begin, although Nan Zhao has no bottom in her heart, but she is by no means impulsive, she has heard of the Ouyang family's yin and yang techniques, which can exchange yin for yang, yang for yin, and manipulate people's will to act for them, and in serious cases, they can be seriously injured by the constantly changing yin and yang qi, and the seven orifices bleed to death.

And after she carefully read the "Zhuang's Secret Record", she has a trick that can fight against the Ouyang family's yin and yang techniques, she has never tried it, but I think this Ouyang Bai Ying has only learned some yin and yang techniques, and he should be more than enough to deal with him, right?

At this time, Ouyang Bai stood opposite with a copper coin sword tied to jade, and shouted: "Nanzhao, if you regret it at this moment, kneel down and admit defeat to this son, and this son can let you go!" ”

Nan Zhao replied with a sneer: "The eldest son of the dignified Ouyang family is just like this? ”

"Hmph, if you don't leave a way to live kindly, then today, I will teach you a good lesson for your uncles and uncles! I just don't know if you still have the life to buy this lesson after this fight! ”

Nan Zhao was not afraid, and resolutely said: "What nonsense, let the horse come!" ”
