The day before yesterday, Wei Shuoren left Shibalipu Village, caught up with Mrs. Su and her party, came to the beach together, and contacted the seven big boats under the command of Zhang Shouhuo in accordance with the law. After boarding the ship, Zhang Shou was ordered to move the send-off boat to another place in the island bay for storage, and the shipwrights and sailors were also detained for use and not returned. After a brief arrangement, he did not rest, and he had to lead the two of them from boat to boat to check on each of the detainees. Mrs. Su said: "Mr. Xu is a master in the world, different from others, I saw Mr. Xu first." ”

Although the size of the seven ships is not exactly the same, it is not too much, and the ships have no name or name, and they are all painted black, and it is really difficult to distinguish them from each other by looking at their appearance. The boats did not dock next to each other, but were scattered more than ten paces apart, and if you wanted to get to the neighboring boats, you had to use small boats to ferry.

As soon as he stepped on the boat in Xu Wan Village, Wei Shuoren walked to the tail tower, and said: "Mr. Xu, my surname Wei has failed to keep his promise, and I can't live with you, are you okay?" Xu Wancun greeted the hatch, first saw Mrs. Su in the back, then looked at Zhang Shouhuo, and sighed: "Look at this, your old Wei doesn't seem to have come to pick me up and take me back to Jiangling, you are also a guard." ”

Seeing that Wei Shuoren had nothing to answer, he said: "I asked them to get this sea, and you also ran over, there is only one Mei San left over there, how can she cope with this big event?

Mrs. Su said, "Mr. Xu, let's go in and sit down if you have something to say, okay?"

The four of them entered the cabin and sat down, and Mrs. Su said, "Mr. Xu, you are wrong to blame Wei Daxia." Wei Daxia went to Caizhou, went to the door to ask the Qu family's father and daughter, and also arrested Chu Qingliu and forced him to lead the way to the ship. But after listening to Miss Qu's words, she changed her mind. ”

Xu Wancun said strangely: "What words can have such a miraculous effect?"

Mrs. Su said: "Miss Qu said that if you were still in Jiangling, you would have already fallen into the hands of Wuzang Sayi." He said just one word, and then he stopped talking.

Xu Wancun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "She's right." But I'm just staying here, I can't do anything, and it's not easy to think that Mei San is suffering alone. ”

Mrs. Su said: "If you can't do anything, it's better than falling into the hands of Wuzang Sayi." Qu Guanghan, I don't dare to say anything else, but he will definitely fight to the death with Wuzang Sayi and the Kongtong faction. This is also very beneficial to the Kainan Dart Bureau, so Wei Daxia and I will come to this ship to jointly protect you and the people of the Righteous Blood Hall. ”

After being appeased for a long time, Xu Wancun was originally a sensible person, and his anger gradually subsided, so Mrs. Su took Wei and Zhang to cross the boat to see the people of the Righteous Blood Hall.

As soon as he got on the boat, Zhang Shouhuo said: "Madam, before you arrived in Caizhou, I received a pigeon report from the master of the Qu League, saying that I would act according to Mrs. and let Yang Liuxia go back to the shore. After receiving the letter, we didn't dare to delay, so we went to release the person at that time, and made it clear that this was what you meant, madam, who knew that Yang Liuxia was very stubborn, and he didn't take a step out of his cabin, he didn't say a word, and he didn't let people come forward to lift the shackles for him, I really don't know what he meant. It's not that we won't let people go, it's that Yang Liuxia himself doesn't want to go. Later, I met Yang Liuxia and asked my wife to help me explain a few words. ”

Mrs. Su nodded in agreement, and Zhang Shouhuo said: "Mr. Shi has an order, saying that everyone in the Righteous Blood Hall has advanced martial arts, and anyone is better than me." If you want to watch them, you can't treat them like Mr. Xu. But if they abolish their martial arts, or use drugs to suppress their internal strength first, and then remove the poison after the matter is over, it is difficult to guarantee that this method will be perfect, and maybe a few people will be injured. As a last resort, I had to shackle them, but I never dared to humiliate them, and the diet was the same as Mr. Xu's. ”

"I have to make these words clear first, lest the lady go in and see each other like this, and the two of them will not feel comfortable. If Madame says that we will go to their shackles first and then meet again, I will do it. ”

This man is nearly 60 years old, and he has led a gang for many years.

Mrs. Su said: "That said, Wei Daxia, Gang Leader Zhang, you two won't enter the cabin first, I'll go in first and see the situation." ”

Wei and Zhang all said yes, Zhang Shouhuo called an ordinary gang and led Mrs. Su into the cabin to inspect.

Mrs. Su followed the man, went to the top cabin, re-entered the hatch, and followed the wooden ladder down to the deep cabin under the cabin. I saw that the whole ship had been divided into several layers, and each layer was divided into compartments of different sizes, and on the wooden wall panels, there were dense arrow holes, crossbow holes, medicine holes, smoke holes, or mechanism handles. After a few steps, you can see a bronze mirror, low or high, reflecting the light of the sky shining through the hatch, and the cabin is not very bright, but there is no need to light a candle.

The helper said, "Madam, not all of the planks under your feet are real, but some of them are virtual, they are flaps, and there is a bilge underneath. Whichever board I step on, which one my wife steps on, there will be no mistake. ”

Mrs. Su paid attention to the silent memory as she walked, and found that the flaps under her feet were all laid at random, and there was no way to follow any tricks, so she could only rely on people's hearts to memorize.

Walking more than twenty steps down the passage, he came to a cabin, and the man pointed to the door with his hand and said, "Madam, this is it." As he spoke, he stepped back five or six paces, turned around and stood against the bulkhead, to show that he had no intention of eavesdropping, and just waited for Mrs. Su to come out of the cabin.

There is no door on the small cabin door, and you can see the situation inside the cabin when you stand outside the door. The cabin was the size of a small room, two feet long and two feet long, and in the middle of the cabin were five square pieces of stone the size of a millstone, some as thick as a millstone. The slate is perforated in the center and strung together with an iron chain, one end of which is tied around a person's waist and connected to the shackles and handcuffs.

The cabin was very clean, and although the smell was not as good as the outside, it was by no means filthy or unclean. On the small table against the bulkhead, there is also a water hyacinth, a wooden bowl, and a boring book.

One person sat alone with his back to the hatch, and he didn't look back when he heard the voice outside the door, and looked at his figure, which was when the six swords of Tongyue were shaking. Mrs. Su put her foot down and stepped on the spot. Yang Zhenshi turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Su, so he couldn't help but show surprise on his face and slowly stood up.

Mrs. Su said: "They said that there is no humiliation for you, and the diet is fine, right?"

Yang Zhenshi shook his head, nodded again, and said, "It's okay." ”

Mrs. Su said: "I don't know much about the outside world, so I don't have anything to tell you." It can only be said that this turmoil will not be small in the future, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. "Romance

Yang Zhenshi said: "No matter how chaotic he is, as long as the Righteous Blood Hall is not destroyed, it will be nothing." These days, I've been alone, and I've learned a lot of things. Sister-in-law, I was at fault in the matter of Senior Brother Su. ”

Mrs. Su said: "You are at fault, am I not wrong? There is no need to talk about the past, and it is useless to say it." Let's just talk about what you are thinking in your heart? They let you out, why don't you leave? Can you really rest assured about the affairs of the Righteous Blood Hall?"

Yang Zhenshi turned around and sat down without saying a word.

Mrs. Su said, "Tell me, why don't you want to leave here? Can't swallow this breath? Do you have to ask Qu Guanghan to make amends to you?"

Yang Zhenshi said: "I don't hate Qu Guanghan Shihan either, they were originally able to kill me, but they didn't do anything perfectly, and they took great pains to send us to this sea." I only hate myself for being incompetent, being locked up here, and not having the heart to die. Don't talk about others, I look down on myself first, I don't have anything to say. Sister-in-law, you shouldn't come here, you should go to Hangzhou to be the helm, so you can rely on everyone, the Yixue Hall can't just disperse. ”

Mrs. Su said: "Yue'er also said so, and also asked me to go to Hangzhou, but I didn't agree." In my opinion, the Righteous Blood Hall may be in chaos for a while, but it may not be dispersed because of this, although the Righteous Blood Hall has acted in recent years and has offended many people, it has not yet reached the point of being abandoned by the heavens. Of course, if Sayi can succeed, it will be different, at that time, the entire rivers and lakes will be the Kongtong faction, and there will be no other family to speak of, and there will be no righteous blood hall. ”

Yang Zhenshi said: "If I go out, it will naturally be good for the Righteous Blood Hall, but I have to go out with my own skills, I can't lock me up if they want to, and let me go if they want to." ”

Mrs. Su thought for a while and said, "What are you doing with this useless idleness?" I see that you still don't take the matter of the Righteous Blood Hall to heart. Think about it again, figure it out, and tell me again. ”

After a few more words of gossip, Mrs. Su withdrew. Follow the leader out of the cabin. Seeing Wei Shuoren Zhang Shouhuo, he said: "Wei Daxia, Zhang Gang Master, I saw Yang Liuxia, and I didn't feel that he was uncomfortable, people on the rivers and lakes, who hasn't suffered a little setback? I persuaded him to leave, but he refused to listen, so I had to talk about it in a few days. The rest of the people, I also went to see them like this, and it was not good to be too deliberate to remove their shackles first. To be honest, if I had been shackled by them, I might not have been able to survive the accident. ”

At that moment, the three of them went to other ships to see the remaining five, and these five people were held in two boats. The Wind Sword Geng Yaoxian and the Jianjie Sword Zhou Yangyong once conspired to split the Yixue Hall after Qu Dingxiang's death, and they had a dispute over which came first, so they were captured at the same time. When they arrived on the boat, they were also detained by their roommates, but they were only given a wooden bowl and an idle book, whether this was Qu Guanghan's intentional order, or Zhang Shouhuo's own idea, to make fun of the two, it is impossible to investigate, and there is no need to pursue it.

No matter day or night, Zhang Shouhuo put a person with super vision on the hanging bucket on each mast to watch from afar. It was clearly stated that if the ship was missed, the seven would be beheaded in one piece, and the loan would never be forgiven. At night, no lights and candles, no loud noises, no walking around the boat. The oars of several small boats were also put away and locked next to his cabin, and the keys were stored by his own hands.

Ships don't have to move every day, and they don't go too far, most of them circle from island to island. According to Zhang Shouhuo, the surface waterway of this island is extremely complicated, and if foreign ships dare to follow up rashly, they will run aground and be difficult to move.

Many things at sea, though trivial, should not be neglected. The second maid did her best to know and see, and told everyone in detail, lest something be missed.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Yang Zhenshi refused to eat again, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, he only drank some water, as if he wanted to die of hunger strike. Mrs. Su, Wei Shuoren, and Zhang Shouhuo gathered in one place to discuss. When encountering this kind of person who refuses to eat, the only way to do so is to pry open his mouth and feed it, but Mrs. Su can't bear to force it, and she wants to save Yang Zhenshi's face, so she can't think about it.

When Qu Lingyu heard Aunt Yao say this, he sneered: "Let him go, he refuses to go, stays, but he doesn't stay well, and he wants to die? If you want to die, why don't you die early? I think there must be something strange here." What happened to him? Did he die when Yang Zhen did?"

Aunt Yao said: "Mrs. Su wrote a letter and asked Gang Leader Zhang to send it to Caizhou with a pigeon newspaper, wanting to discuss with the alliance leader. However, after waiting for two days, I didn't wait for the alliance leader's reply. ”

Qu Lingyu asked about the date and said, "At that time, Caizhou Shibalizhuang had just been burned to the ground by Wuzang Sayi, and Daddy and Uncle Shi were not spared. Even if the pigeon arrived, it did not dare to fall. How is it, did that Yang Zhen starve to death?"

Aunt Yao said: "When Yang Zhen was determined, he was determined to die, and he refused to eat a mouthful of food. Mrs. Su persuaded Wei Daxia to force, but it was all useless. Mr. Xu knew about this, and Mr. Xu said that he wanted to try it and see if he could persuade him to come back. Mr. Xu went down to the cabin alone, and he took the help to lead the way before he spoke, and no one could know what he said and what he talked about. However, he failed to persuade him, and Yang Zhenshi still refused to eat. The next night, he starved to death. ”

"There was everything on board, but there were no ready-made coffins. According to Zhang's intentions, it is too hot for the dead to be parked, so it is better to find a nearby island to bury it first, and then move later. But Mrs. Su didn't agree very much, so Wei Daxia asked the craftsmen on the ship to make the coffin and load it in a small boat, and Zhang Gangzhu selected very capable people to send it to Hangzhou from the seaway. ”

"After this incident, and I didn't receive a reply from the alliance leader, Gang Leader Zhang couldn't rest assured, so he ordered the two of us to come back and report in person. When we went ashore and walked to Qingjiang, we heard about the fire at the helm of Caizhou. Knowing that it was useless to go to Caizhou, I remembered that there was a date in Suyangling, so I came here. I thought I might not be able to catch up, but fortunately, the date was postponed again, otherwise, I might not be able to see Miss. Miss, the alliance leader, his old man has been vigorous in his life, and he has done so many good things, if he doesn't become a god, he will definitely be able to be the lord of the city god on the one side, so you don't have to be too sad. ”

Qu Lingyu thanked her for her kindness and said, "Yang Zhen died of hunger strike, and no one will follow his example with the remaining swords?"

Aunt Yao said: "That Drifting Wind Sword Geng Yao Xian hasn't eaten for two days, Mrs. Su went to persuade a few words, Wei Daxia seemed to be annoyed, and he didn't even persuade him, and Mr. Xu didn't go to see him." After two days, no one persuaded him, and he ate again by himself. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "You are all tired, go down." ”

Yaogu stood up and seemed to be leaving, but she still said: "Miss, we heard on the road that something happened in the Righteous Blood Hall, and Gongqi joined forces with Hu Yanjie of the Kongtong faction to kill the Zhenyang Four Swords Miao Fen, Su Yiyue Su Girl, and she has become the deputy head of the Righteous Blood Hall. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "She is the head hall master, and it has nothing to do with us, so let's go down." ”

After Yao Shun and the second maid retreated, Qu Lingyu sighed: "These days, we haven't done a thing, we have become fools, and we have become deaf and blind. We don't even know that something like this happened in the Hall of Righteous Blood.
