Chapter 373: Hungry Wolf
Qing Niang's face was a little solemn, and then she shook her head hesitantly.
I can be regarded as running fast, and these officers and soldiers are tracking down so closely.
Those people in the banquet must have all been arrested.
One thing is certain, that is, Chen Futai and Master Mao are indeed dead!
Ning Pengpeng saw Qingniang shaking her head, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"How's that okay?"
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, if Qingniang really made a move, the fourth child would not be wronged if she was arrested.
But now, it's obviously not Qing Niang's hand, isn't it too unlucky for the fourth child to be arrested like this?
Hearing the old lady's secret words, the corners of Qing Niang's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Fortunately, the fourth master didn't hear it, otherwise he would definitely suspect that he was not biological.
"Let's go find Liu Hu and ask him to find out what is going on in the mansion.
The fourth master is not involved in this matter, so it should be fine. ”
Ning Peng sighed, it can only be like this!
Liu Hu didn't expect that the old lady would come to Yujiawan.
When he heard that the fourth master was arrested and put in prison, he was immediately surprised.
Ning Pengpeng told the news that Chen Futai and Master Mao had died, and now the entire Nanyue Mansion is in a state of leaderlessness.
However, when they came to the fishing village, it is said that Chen Futai's confidant Tian is now in charge of the overall situation in Futai Mansion.
Moreover, the entire Nanyue Prefecture, except for the fishing village by the sea, the city gate on the side of the Mingzhou Mansion has been closed, and no one is allowed to go out.
Otherwise, Ning Pengpeng may not even be able to come to this Yujiawan.
As for why the Lord Tian did not close the city gate leading to the fishing village, it was only because most people up and down the Nanyue Mansion relied on fishing for food.
In addition, the sea on this side of Nanyue Province is boundless, and there is no way to go at all.
As long as this assassin wasn't stupid, he wouldn't run into the sea, would he?
Therefore, the assassin must still be in this Nanyue city!
It's a pity that Lord Tian miscalculated.
At this time, the Assassin was sitting in a simple boat, floating on the sea.
Nor should it be said to be fluttering, she is rowing with a plank.
It's just that the technology is not up to par, and it took the old nose's strength, but it didn't advance much.
The reason why Lord Tian decided that it was impossible for the Assassins to escape from the sea near Nanyue Province was because there were whirlpools on both sides of the sea.
At the beginning, Chen Futai had thought of secretly building a few big ships from the sea here, and then going north and south to sell illicit salt.
But he didn't think that the ship had just reached the border of South Vietnam, and suddenly the ship swayed left and right, and then was sucked into the undercurrent.
The entire ship disappeared without a trace, not to mention the people on board!
As for the fishermen of Nam Viet Province, most of them go straight to the sea to fish.
Of course, there were those who were unlucky, even if they went straight, but they did not escape the whirlpool that suddenly appeared in the sea and swallowed the boat and people together.
However, this matter is only known to Chen Futai and Master Mao of Nanyue Mansion, as well as Master Tian.
The fishermen are ignorant, and if something happens to them when they go out to sea to fish, they will only think that the Sea Dragon King is angry, so they will devour the boats and people.
In this regard, Chen Futai naturally will not tell these fishermen the truth.
If the original smuggling of smuggled salt could have been accomplished, I am afraid that Chen Futai would not have exploited the common people of Nanyue Province like this.
Of course, it is more likely that after Chen Futai started this smuggling of smuggled salt, the fishermen of the entire Nanyue Province were afraid that they would become salt workers in his private salt factory.
All his life, until he died, he was helping Chen Futai dry salt.
Liu Hu asked Ning Pengpeng and Qing Niang to stay in Yujiawan first, and he entered the city alone.
After about five days, Liu Hu came back with Ning Laosi, who looked like a dish and was very emaciated!
"In this weather, Chen Futai and Master Mao's corpses can't be put down.
When we were arrested, we almost paid a lot of money, and the Tian Da reluctantly agreed to let us go.
It's just that if the assassin is not caught for a day, we will only be allowed to operate within the boundaries of Nanyue Province, and we will not be allowed to leave Nanyue Province. ”
Ning Laosi frowned, only feeling that he was really a disaster.
But no matter how excessive this Tian's request is, they still have to pay the money obediently.
Just be less, and you can suffer less!
Liu Hu almost scattered most of the silver that could be used from Nanyue Mansion, and Tian Da opened his mouth to put it in.
For this, Ning Laosi is really distressed, and his heart is about to be paralyzed!
Ning Pengpeng couldn't help frowning when she heard the fourth child's words.
"Could it be that if this assassin is not caught for a day, you will never be able to leave Nanyue Mansion?"
"Mother, I also want to go back to Mingzhou Mansion!
However, Lord Tian won't let us leave, where did we leave? ”
After all, the city gate leading to Mingzhou Mansion is controlled by officers and soldiers!
"Lord Tian has ever reported these deaths of Chen Futai to the imperial court?"
Hearing his mother's inquiry, Ning Laosi was stunned, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head hesitantly.
"Whew...... It seems that there is a plague god in this Nanyue Mansion, and another hungry wolf has come!
I don't know, can this hungry wolf feed his stomach? ”
Thinking of the silver he scattered, and hearing his mother say this, Ning Laosi's heart twisted into a hemp rope!
"Where's Brother Feng?"
When Ning Pengpeng took Qing Niang to find Liu Hu, Feng Xu also came with him!
However, he was very interested in pearl farming, so every day he would run to the fishing net and look carefully into the fishing net.
"It should be over there in the nets."
Ning Pengpeng straightened his mood and said to Ning Laosi.
"I always feel that if I lead a scholar astray, why would Brother Feng be interested in these things?"
Liu Hu was also a little apprehensive, for a person like him who didn't even know much of the big characters, for him, Feng Xu, who was a showman, was more like the moon in the sky.
Ning Pengpeng smiled bitterly when she heard this.
Everyone's hobbies are varied.
Feng Xu will like this pearl farm, which really surprised her!
In fact, in Ning Pengpeng's heart, there is no big problem for Feng Xu to deviate, if Feng Xu is really interested in cultured pearls, the pearl farm here can be handed over to him to take care of.
I'm afraid that Chen Huilan will find someone from the Ning family, after all, the Chen family and his wife still expect Feng Xu to go to the next level.
In the Nanyue Mansion, Tian Dongyuan Tie blushed and slapped the table and roared.
"You bunch of shit, you're just catching an assassin!
It's been so long, I don't even know if the other party is a man or a woman, round or flat.
Ten days, I will give you another ten days, and if the time comes, and you can't find anything to arrest the assassin, then you will be in prison instead of the assassin. ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Tian, the little one will definitely get this thing done."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the subordinate hurriedly responded.
It's a pity that Rao is these officials turned Nanyue Mansion upside down, and they didn't find the assassin.
