Chapter 235: A Lobbyist Sent by the Capital
Shen Yuning nodded: "It's not impossible, helper, the matter has come to this point, let's take stock of the disciples in the gang first, so as not to have unscrupulous people mixed in."
"Good, good! I'm going to look it up!"
"Master! The oil is gone!" A disciple came back and reported, "The disciple remembers that there was an urn buried in the soil before, but now it is gone!"
Qin Banong slapped his thigh angrily, and urged his own disciples to take stock of the helpers, and report it in time if there was a new face.
"If you want me to say, it must be the work of the inner demons!" Bai Yu rubbed his chin: "If it weren't for someone who was familiar with the Qingyi Gang, who would know where the fire oil was stored?"
Meng Tang sneered at him: "If you can't find the oil oil, replace it with something else, since you want to kill someone, there will always be a way."
"That's what the Sect Master said."
"Where did you go before dawn?"
Bai Yu was surprised: "What does the sect master mean? You don't suspect that I'm the arsonist, do you?"
"Salt, it burns slowly, and it should have been burning from the early hours of the morning to the current state."
Qingyi helped the disciples drag out the charred and dry corpses, and used the shovel to dig out the coarse salt like black charcoal.
Bai Yu was almost laughed at angrily: "I just went out in the morning and peed, do you doubt it until now? Speaking of which, the sect master didn't leave or sleep all night in the Love Gang Gang, why didn't you set the fire?"
"The Sect Master is with me." Shen Yuning hurriedly added.
Bai Yu was anxious: "Alliance leader, you won't also suspect your subordinates!"
"Of course not! I mean, neither of you is suspicious, don't be suspicious of each other, maybe the real murderer is hiding somewhere to see our jokes at the moment."
"Humph!" Bai Yu clasped his hands around his chest and glanced at Meng Linxiao coldly: "He doesn't think so."
"Fortunately, it was only these soldiers and bandits who died, and the disciples of the Qingyi Gang were not sacrificed." Shen Yuning said again, "It's also a blessing."
Bai Yu wanted to say something more, but she stopped her with her eyes.
It wasn't until he returned to the boat with Jin Jiawei that Bai Yu's face was still very ugly, not only did he refuse to look at the Meng Sect Master, but he didn't even pretend to chant the wind and the moon.
Yin Feng kindly asked him if he drank alcohol or the good sorghum wine that Xiao Ma brought from Shuijing City, but in exchange for Bai Yu's cold snort.
Yin Feng looked innocent, but Shen Yuning patted him very apologetically: "He took the wrong medicine today, it's okay, it'll be fine in a few days."
"It's their sect master who really took the wrong medicine!" As soon as Bai Yu opened his mouth, Shen Yuning covered his mouth.
And reprimanded in a low voice: "He doubts you, if you doubt him, you should settle it, besides, people don't say anything now, you are still here endlessly, it seems that our martial arts league is stingy."
Although Bai Yu stopped talking, he was still unhappy in his heart.
The two had a hot meal on the boat and decided to take a break, and waited for the Love Gang to see if they could find out the ghosts.
If there is no news, then take a boat to Lianshui Dock at night, and the Qingyi Gang will go to meet the people of the Golden Knife Gate.
Jin Jiawei's cabin was very small because it had to accommodate a lot of people, which was different from the comfortable big ship of the Yuezong Sect.
Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang gave up their place to Shen Yuning, Rao is so, she still feels a little unable to straighten her legs lying in the cabin, she is like this for a woman, how aggrieved the man can be imagined.
Half-asleep and half-awake, I vaguely heard a shout outside.
She frowned, put on her clothes and went out, just in time to see Meng Tang also walk out.
"What's wrong?"
The man shook his head, "I don't know."
On the deck, as soon as Yin Feng saw the sect master, he hurriedly hid a person behind him.
"Who's calling?" Meng Tang asked him.
Yinfeng shook his head quickly, "No one is screaming."
Shen Yuning kindly reminded, "That ...... His legs are exposed!"
Howl kicked backwards, hiding the man's leg behind his back.
Shen Meng and Meng looked at him at the same time with a "Do you think we are stupid" eyes.
Yin Feng sighed: "I can't hide it......"
It's no wonder you can hide it!
Yin Feng gave up and moved to the side, revealing the first man behind him who was tied up and had a piece of cloth in his mouth.
As soon as the man saw someone coming, he twisted his body desperately, making a "woo-woo" sound, as if he had something to say!
Shen Yuning was a little surprised: "Has the Qin Gang Master found the inner ghost?"
"No, no, it's not an inner ghost!" Yin Feng waved his hand: "The Love Gang said that there is no clue yet......
Meng Tang frowned: "He, from the capital?" Liu's Mansion?"
"Uh-huh!" The man nodded busily.
"Sect Master, the people of the Liu Mansion are uneasy and kind, wait for their subordinates to throw people off the boat!"
"Okay."
As soon as Yin Feng lifted the man up and brought him down the boat, the cloth fell out of his mouth, and the man pulled his neck and shouted, "Second son! The second son has pity on the poor villain, if the villain can't invite the second son and the little young master back, he will definitely be severely punished by the eldest son!"
"Then you shouldn't have taken this errand in the first place!" The wind dragged the man off the boat and kicked him out of the way.
Who knew that the little guy who passed the word still shouted, "Second son! To tell you the truth, the imperial doctor hung the last breath of our old lady, just to see the little master again before he died! Second son, you will fulfill the old lady!"
Yan also knelt on the bank of the river and kowtowed several times in a row.
Meng Tang didn't look at it, and went straight back to the cabin.
Shen Yuning followed behind him, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
For some reason, when she heard the little girl say that the old lady had her last breath left, she felt her throat tighten and her hands and feet panicked.
Leng Buding bumped into the man's back, Meng Tang looked back at her, "What do you think? So distracted?"
"I...... I'm thinking, how did that little guy know you were here?"
"Liu Chang is a salt envoy, and this old Huaibang land is also a salt-producing place in front of the capital, so he will naturally know what is happening at the bottom, but the grievances on the rivers and lakes are right and wrong, and it is inconvenient for him to interfere."
"Oh...... I see."
"After dark, if the Love Gang can't find out the inner ghost, you and I don't have to wait, let's leave for Lianshui Dock immediately."
After saying that, he was about to leave, and Shen Yuning hurriedly called the person again: "Sect Master Meng!"
"What?"
"I'm ......," she paused, "Why don't you go to the Martial Arts League to find my father first?" I'm afraid that going to Lianshui Dock will delay your big event, I can help you write a handwritten letter to him, I believe Daddy will know it."
The latter shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry, let's solve the alliance leader's heart disease first."
"Good ......," she struggled again, "Speaking of this heart disease...... Then the old lady of Liufu's heart disease is to be able to take another look at her great-grandson before she dies, it's not good to let her go with regrets, right? I know that Sect Master Meng is chivalrous and the most magnanimous, and if you have any grievances in the past, for the sake of Xiao Baozi and his mother, let it go for the time being!"
She was afraid that Meng Tang would refuse, so she hurriedly said, "It only takes a few hours to go to the capital from here!" I'll take Jin Jiawei to Lianshui Dock first, and then you can go over and meet us again, how about it?".
"Lord Shen?"
"Huh?"
"Don't persuade others to be kind until they suffer."
After speaking, he left without looking back, Shen Yuning stood in place and blinked, also a little overwhelmed.
"The kindness of the alliance leader has been treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Bai Yu leaned on the door frame and gloated: "He is so self-righteous, how can he listen to the advice of others, and he still thinks you are uneasy and kind."
Shen Yuning asked him, "What I said was all good intentions, he wouldn't not understand, right?"
"That's hard to say, but anyone involved in his wife's death is not a good person! None of these things are good!"
Bai Yu was sure of what he said, but Shen Yuning didn't know the bottom in his heart, and secretly told himself not to mention this matter, after all, it was someone's family matter.
However, I thought that the matter of driving the little guy away was over, but who knew that it was just dark,
Another man came looking for him in the dark.
When Yin Feng asked the sect master to see the man, he was a little angry: "I don't want this Liu Chang is face!" The salt envoys of the Salt Transport Envoy Division have done this kind of stealing chickens and touching dogs again and again! Fortunately, his subordinates were vigilant and took the person at once! Sect Master, don't be soft, just throw it into the river!"
Meng Tang glanced at Yin Feng: "You have been talking a bit a lot lately."
The latter shut up, and looked at Shen Yuning and Bai Yu behind him, and he didn't dare to remind the sect master anymore.
Liu Chang, who was arrested, was also tied up and was kneeling on the deck.
Seeing Meng Tang coming, he struggled to stand up, but was kicked in the crook of his knee by Jin Jiawei's Xiao Wang, stumbled, and almost grabbed the ground with his head.
"Meng Linxiao! Don't deceive too much!"
Meng Tang stood in front of him in a big coat, his figure was as tall as a god, his eyebrows were frowning at the moment, his face was not good, but he was with great anger and coercion.
"What about you? Didn't you deceive people too much to come to Chen An once or twice?"
"I'm here to persuade you! No, I'm here to beg you! I beg you to take the child back to see Grandmother!"
He was about to stand up, but Xiao Wang pressed his back and made him unable to move.
I don't know if it's painful or angry, my eyes are red, and I seem to be able to cry at any time.
Meng Tang relieved: "Let him go, a weak scholar, how can he have suffered like this."
"Yes!"
Jin Jiawei released the man and untied the rope for him.
Liu Chang glanced at the situation on the ship, and said reluctantly: "Although the Golden Armor Guard is the protector of Water Mirror City, it is also an army, and it is a capital crime for you to bring the army to Jiangnan without permission!"
"I don't know, I thought your Liu family lived by the sea, and the management was too wide, right? I've brought the Golden Guard, what can you do with me?"
"You!" Liu Chang was bored, and simply revealed the matter: "I came, I really begged you, can you take Chen An to Beijing, grandmother's life is hanging by a thread now, and she has been thinking about the third sister and Chen An, if so...... If only we could see each other again......
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Shen Yuning behind him.
Meng Tang also looked back, and his eyes tightened a little.
Shen Yuning was a little embarrassed: "I slept too much during the day, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out to see ......."
Liu Chang sighed: "As a child, filial piety comes first, and when you are in the evening, you will treat this favor as if I owe it to you, and I will definitely return it in the future!"
After speaking, as if he was afraid that he would not see his sincerity, he simply opened the hem of his clothes and knelt directly in front of him.
