The middle-aged man's hand was strengthened, Jiang Xie was pinched so that his face turned red, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

Huo Yijun hurriedly touched the objects on his body that could prove his identity, and finally took out three jade plates: "Big brother, you see this is my fish talisman, I am the five-grade promoter of the Qingzheng Division, and this is the token of my Huo family, my name is Huo Yijun, I am the little son of the Huo family, and there is also, I still have King An's order, this is the token given by His Royal Highness King An, do you know it?" ”

The man saw three tokens dangling in Huo Yijun, one of which was similar in style and pattern to the token on the waist of the man under him, which should have come from one place.

After seeing Wang An's order, he gradually let go, Jiang Xie covered his neck and got out from under his hand and leaned on the mast of the ship to gasp and cough, and after half a day, he recovered and his face returned to normal.

Huo Yijun put away the token, cautiously leaned forward, and talked to him casually: "This big brother, what have you been through?" Are you someone on the ship? Where have the others gone? ”

The middle-aged man picked up the knife on the ground, held it in his hand and pointed at Huo Yijun again, and said fiercely: "You don't get close to me, and don't want to get any news from me, I have so many tokens on my body, they must be fake, they are all imitations!" ”

"Hey, you've seen it, why do you still say it's an imitation, even if there may be fakes in the fish talisman and identity token, how can An Wangling be faked? This thing is going to be killed, will I have nothing to fake so that I have no place to die? ”

"You seem to have a point."

Huo Yijun continued: "Big brother, if I guessed correctly, you should be the transfer officer in charge of Cao Yun in the household department, your surname is Dong, you love to eat wontons, you have been a transfer officer for three years, and there has never been anything that happened this time, am I right?" ”

"His surname is Dong, how do you know?" Jiang Xie hurriedly walked to Huo Yijun's side, although he was defeated, he was still wary of the middle-aged man.

Huo Yijun asked him in his ear: "The old man of the wonton stall is surnamed Dong, right?" ”

Jiang Xie suddenly raised his eyebrows, the old man was surnamed Dong, how could he forget.

So, the big man in front of him is the son of the old man waiting to go home and working as a transfer officer?

But how did Huo Yijun see it?

"You know me?" The middle-aged man's vigilance and defenses gradually relaxed.

Huo Yijun took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to get close to him: "Yes, Lord Jiang and I both like to eat the wontons made by your Uncle Dong, and he is very worried about you, so Master Jiang and I went to sea to look for you for Uncle Dong and Lord Wang He." ”

"The old man's wonton stall is open at the corner of Chang'an Fang, very close to Chang'an Wharf and Huo's house, we walked by this morning and saw the old man making wontons, fresh meat filling, very delicious."

The middle-aged man put down the knife in his hand, tried to stabilize his emotions, and finally calmed down.

"Sorry......" he began to apologize inexplicably.

Huo Yijun was also reassuring him, and after the three of them talked to each other, they finally quieted down with each other.

The man introduced himself: "My lord is right, my surname is indeed Dong, my father is the old Dong of the wonton stall, my name is Dong Qingshan, I am the transfer officer under the household department, and I am responsible for escorting some very important things. ”

Jiang Xie walked over with an expressionless face, and also showed him his waist card of Qingzhengsi.

"Qingzheng Division Jiang Xie, now I have something to ask you, can you calm down and talk to us?"

Dong Qingshan apologized to him, and then ushered them into the cabin.

But this advance suddenly shocked Huo Yijun.

Dozens of corpses were parked in the cabin, and one of them was a man who was chained all over his body, his eyes were scarlet, and his skin was blue-white, with black lines on his exposed skin.

"This person is ......"

Huo Yijun stepped forward and squatted in front of the iron cage, Dong Qingshan nervously reminded: "Don't go over, adult, this person is dead, someone has refined him into a dead soldier!"

"Dead man!" Jiang Xie frowned.

It seems that what the old woman of Jinghe Village said in the living corpse case has come true, there are really dead soldiers on the sea, but what is the purpose of the people behind them?

Huo Yijun got up and looked at the remaining corpses and asked, "What's the matter with these corpses?" ”

Dong Qingshan's tone was heavy: "These people are all crew members who were killed by the dead, I dragged their bodies to the cabin, and there are many crew members who were killed on the ship, I didn't drag them here, hey......"

"Are there any living people?" Huo Yijun asked.

Dong Qingshan shook his head: "I don't know, it should be gone." ”

"You're the only one spared??" Jiang Xie was suspicious.

Dong Qingshan raised his eyes to look at him, and emphasized again: "Only I am still alive." ”

His eyes were red, his eyes were full of remorse, he squatted down with his head in his hands, and blamed himself: "Why am I the only one alive...... If I don't go fishing, maybe I'm ...... They won't all be dead. ”

"Brother Dong, don't be sad."

Huo Yijun turned to comfort him, judging from his body, there were also a lot of injuries, he must have experienced a fierce battle before, and if he wanted to know what happened on this ship before, it seemed that he could only ask him.

Jiang Xie helped Dong Qingshan up with one hand and went to the other cabins.

His injuries were mainly concentrated on his arms, and the cut on his shoulder was the most serious, Huo Yijun found the medicine box on the ship and took the initiative to debride and apply medicine to him, and Jiang Xie moved a stool to sit in front of him, staring at him carefully.

Begin his next questioning.

"Dong Qingshan, now you tell the truth about what happened on this ship, and you must not hide it at all!"

"Yes!"

Dong Qingshan's eyes were lowered, and he said eloquently: "Twenty days ago, the officials on board and I were ordered to escort Guanyin to the disaster area in the southwest. ”

"The two sides exchanged fire, and we sank the opponent's warship at the mouth of Jinghe Bay in one fell swoop, originally thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect a large number of dead soldiers to swim out of the sunken ship, and he climbed onto our warship one after another."

"We fought a fierce battle with them, but they were tireless and could not kill, so the crew of the ship were killed, and I let the boat go out fishing, and when I came back the whole ship was ransacked, and I was left alive."

Jiang Xie looked at him suspiciously: "Oh? Are you sure it's the warship that ambushed the Jinghe Bay estuary? ”
