My life is at rest!

This was the only thought of the boatman before he died, and it was not until he fell to the ground unwillingly that he realized that Lin Chonghan had already realized that they had a problem.

And those water chestnuts are probably also deliberately faked, trying to make them lower their vigilance.

The dying boatman kept making "ho-ho" sounds, and he tried to keep his eyes open, as if trying to keep his life alive from being lost.

But in the next second, a blood-stained dagger slammed into his chest and pinned him to the wooden floor.

The boatman died completely, leaving no room for manoeuvre or respite.

Lin Chonghan sat on the edge of the bed, his hands were clean, not stained with a drop of blood, and his calm expression made everyone next to him feel a chill and shudder.

"Smack-"

I don't know whose weapon fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Along with it, Gu Qingzhang, who was hiding behind the quilt, flew out, making the rest of the rabble realize that they had no hope of turning the tables around.

"Your Noble Forgiveness!"

They knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing incessantly, hoping that the other party would spare them.

"Killed," Lin Chong said in a cold voice, "These people are doing evil, and they probably don't kill people and oversell goods on the water, but now they are coming to intercede." ”

When she said this, Gu Qingzhang didn't intend to object, so she simply took the knife up and down neatly, and quickly and quickly dealt with this group of robbers.

Lin Chonghan glanced at the dead boatman in disgust.

She has also been practicing martial arts for a while, and her ear power has increased a lot compared to before, and she has also heard their discussion just now.

If it wasn't for Le'an who found out something wrong earlier, then I'm afraid it would be their group that is in trouble now.

At this time, the servant who was waiting outside heard his master's command, and silently lit the hanging lantern, which illuminated the whole cabin.

Lin Chonghan got dressed, she pulled up her robe, and instructed the servants to drag the corpse: "Throw it directly into the water, and find someone to clean the blood stains on the ground." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

The robbers' bodies were dragged out of the room by the servants like dead pigs, and the blood left a long trail on the ground.

Gu Qingzhang's eyes drifted casually, and suddenly he condensed slightly somewhere on the ground.

"...... this?" He took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up something, "...... Salt or sugar? ”

Lin Chonghan was attracted by his movements, she looked to the side, Gu Qingzhang opened the outer paper package, revealing the fine white and clear crystals inside.

Gu Qingzhang dipped it with his hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and exclaimed, "This is a bag of salt?" ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chonghan, and both of them realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Le An is responsible for the food and drink on the ship," she said curiously, "and even if they do, there is no need to carry salt with them." ”

Gu Qingzhang directly grabbed a handful of salt with his hand and leaned under the lantern to take a closer look.

"The quality of this salt seems to be the same as the salt I ate in Suzhou before," although the light is not brighter than in the daytime, it is enough for Ning Anhou to see clearly, "It's just that the salt I eat is official salt, but this salt is ......"

The packaging of official salt was printed with the words "government and the year of the year", but Gu Qingzhang checked the outer packaging of the salt and found that it did not have any marks on it.

Lin Chonghan jokingly said: "This person can't buy the salt from the government and then put it up and sell it himself, right?" ”

As soon as the words landed, Gu Qingzhang stopped talking.

"No," Lin Chonghan gasped, "These people not only kill people and sell goods, but also form a salt gang and sell illegal salt by themselves?" ”
