There were about a dozen people in the cabin, and it was quite spacious.

Yingluo stepped forward to negotiate with the passengers: "My master is unwell, and it is not suitable to be crowded with people, so it is convenient for you to do it." ”

After saying that, he took the money and dotted it.

The boat passengers saw that they were all magnificent, and they also brought guards with them, and they also knew that they were not easy to mess with, and they were polite and generous, and they were not dissatisfied.

More than a dozen people happily took the money and squeezed into a pile to make more space.

The boatman lit the penny, pushed the boat to the shore, and then followed the tide of the water, while supporting the boat, while telling the guests local stories.

He is quite talkative, and at first glance he is a well-informed person.

Jiang Fuguang gave Yingluo a look.

Yingluo understood: "Don't hide it from the boatman, my master went to Hangzhou to seek medical advice, I heard that Xin'an County has been raining heavily for more than ten days, and a dam has collapsed, and I don't know what the situation is over there?" ”

This ferry port is located in a small private ferry in the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and there are many travelers coming and going, and the boatman must know some of the situation.

Sure enough, as soon as this matter was mentioned, the boatman said: "The heavy rain is still falling, and the tide has not receded, the day before yesterday I picked up a few Xin'an County boat passengers, their home is near the dam, I heard them say, the heavy rain has been falling for many days, the dam is still good, at least it can last for a month." ”

"Lizheng, a township in Xin'an County, has been organizing villagers to prepare sediment, soil bags, and stones, and once the water level of the dam rises, the villagers will be organized to build embankments, but one night, everyone heard a bang, and the dam suddenly lacked a big opening, and there was no warning beforehand."

The passengers chattered, and some thought that the dam had collapsed.

Some people believe that the earth-rock dam is not strong, and it is normal for it to collapse after so many days of rain, which is to suffer the people nearby.

Jiang Fuguang frowned, it was impossible for the dam to be without any warning before it washed out.

Wei Twelve has always been vigilant, and after getting on the boat, he protected Jiang Fuguang, held a long knife, leaned on the side of the boat, and looked at the people on the same boat.

Wei Si was masked and sat on the bow of the boat on guard.

The wind and waves in the heart of the river were strong, the hull of the boat began to sway left and right, the passengers were all panicked, and a middle-aged couple next to Jiang Fuguang screamed loudly.

Wei Twelve held the eldest princess's shoulder with one hand to help her stabilize her figure.

Sudden mutations.

The woman in the husband and wife leaned towards Jiang Fuguang's side, suddenly reached into her sleeve, and actually took out a dagger, and stabbed at Jiang Fuguang.

"Look for death." Wei Twelve's eyes were cracking.

But before the woman could get close, a figure sprang out from among the passengers, and her five fingers firmly clamped the woman's wrist, and there was a click, and the woman's wrist was dislocated, and her face turned pale in pain, and she let out a miserable scream.

"Keep your mouth alive." Jiang Fuguang's voice was hoarse.

Yu Lin Wei, who pretended to be a boat passenger, fell over the shoulder, threw the woman to the ground, and then pressed her to the ground to subdue her, and at the same time, Wei Si also subdued the middle-aged husband.

"Master," Yu Linwei knelt down on one knee and arched his hand, "the assassin has been subdued. ”

The two lying on the ground stared at Jiang Fuguang deadly, their eyes full of horror.

Jiang Fuguang looked indifferent: "Tie it up first." ”

Everything was in the middle of the lightning, and the ferrymen on the boat screamed in panic, some of them were timid, and even cried on the spot.

The boatman at the bow of the boat was so frightened that he collapsed in the bow and forgot to hold the boat.

"My guards won't hurt anyone, everyone can take the boat with peace of mind." Jiang Fuguang's voice was gentle.

Maybe her voice was too calm, her tone was too calm, and the bolder people gradually calmed down, but they were still very scared in their hearts.

In the evening, when the boat finally came to shore, the ferryman took his belongings and fled for his life without looking back.

Jiang Fuguang stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the riverbank, thoughtfully, remembering the thrilling scene just now, and still palpitating: "Now that there is no one, can the boatman tell the truth?" ”

The boatman moved his lips, his eyes showed horror, and he did not speak.

Jiang Fuguang chuckled, his voice hoarse, accompanied by bursts of coughing: "But the water bandits? I have heard that in the Jianghuai area, there are often water bandits who haunt and rob passers-by, and as soon as these two people make a move, they are not ordinary water bandits. ”

She did this to avoid people's eyes, but also to be fast, she did not take the official post boat, and all the way was a private ferry.

I got on a thief ship today.

As soon as the boatman heard this, his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees on the boat with a bang: "The villain is not in the same group as them, please spare your life." ”

He has been working at the ferry for decades, ushering in the send-off, and he has also gained a lot of knowledge.

This woman was full of luxury, with guards by her side, and guards secretly escorted, although she was full of Wu Nong, but with a Yuzhou accent, it was a noble place in the sky, and it was the location of Luojing.

"Why are the bandits on your boat?" Jiang Fuguang's tone was flat, still mild.

The boatman's face was discouraged: "They are the people of the Qingshui Gang nearby, and the large and small private crossings in Huai'an are all within their territory, they are entrenched in this area, collecting the protection fee of the boatman, looting and killing, and throwing the corpse into the river......"

Jiang Fuguang's expression gradually became solemn.

Most of the passengers passing by by the boat are outsiders, killing people and throwing themselves into the river, unaware of ghosts, because they can't find the body, they can only be regarded as missing cases, this kind of case, often do not invest too much manpower and energy, often after a period of time can not find anyone, the case is closed.

The local bandit forces are so rampant, it must be the government's inaction.

I guess it's rotten up and down.

Yingluo took a piece of silver and gave it to the boatman: "Today's matter, the ship's master will keep it a secret, and don't reveal the affairs of my master to anyone." ”

The shipman was overjoyed at once, and repeatedly promised that he would not confide in half a word, and hurriedly took the money and kowtowed to thank him.

Jiang Fuguang watched the boatman go away and told Yu Linwei: "Follow up." ”

Yu Linwei gave up.

After Wei Si interrogated the two water bandits, he came back to report: "The Qingshui Gang is the largest water bandit force in Huai'an, rampant and domineering, and does all kinds of evil......

Jiang Fuguang frowned when he heard this, these two assassins should not be important figures in the Qingshui Gang, the news is that they have interrogated a lot, but there is not much valuable things.

"Put the people in the hands of Yu Linwei and let them dispose of them." Yu Linwei is better at interrogating information, and may be able to find some clues from it.

At this time, it was late, there was no boat at the ferry, and they could not continue to transfer to hurry, Jiang Fuguang and his party found a nearby village, planning to borrow it for one night.

Jiang Fuguang had just entered the village, and the old man holding a fan to enjoy the coolness had an old voice: "Girl, why did you get to our village?" ”

"Old man," Jiang Fuguang's voice was gentle, "Our group, when we arrived at the ferry in front, it was getting late, and there was no boat at the ferry, so we planned to borrow it for one night in your land, and asked the old man to make it convenient." ”
