Xiao Dong said: "Master Jiang, this matter is very important, and the big ship must be retrieved as soon as possible." Otherwise, if the major affairs of the imperial court are delayed, I am afraid that the officials of the magistrate of Dongliao County, large and small, will be punished for this. ”

Master Jiang said: "Yes, the villain will follow the orders of the adults and investigate the case immediately." ”

After he finished speaking, he made a gesture to Xiao Dong, and then turned to Li Zhisheng and said, "What do you command?"

Li Zhisheng said: "This case will be handed over to you and He Zhutou to deal with, and the people in the yamen are all under your control." Just do it without worry, and don't have any scruples. ”

Master Jiang bowed and saluted, saying yes. After he straightened up, he said to Xiao Dong: "The origin of this matter is tortuous, and I have to trouble the adults and villains to talk about it in detail, and the villain has a good idea in his heart." ”

Xiao Dong nodded, pointed at Zhang Shi and said, "This Zhang Yuanwai has been traveling with this official, so he will talk to you in detail." ”

Master Jiang glanced at Zhang Shi, nodded, and said, "That's the best." Then there will be Lao Zhang's staff to go down to the office room, and let's have a good chat. ”

Zhang Shi secretly thought that the goods on the ship were to be transported to Fusang for sale, and this matter naturally could not be mentioned to Master Jiang, and it seemed that he had to tell Master Jiang according to the words that everyone had discussed before leaving. However, this person is extremely shrewd, and he is not sure whether he can hide it from him. Thinking of this, Zhang Shi arched his hand and said, "Lord Xiao, do you want to ask a few shopkeepers to go with the villain?" A few of them have been staying on the boat, and some things are clearer than the villain. Let's inspire each other, and there will be no omissions in what we say, which will be convenient for Master Jiang and He Zhutou to handle the case. ”

Xiao Dong knew that Zhang Shi was cautious, but he also agreed, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then there will be Lao Zhang and the shopkeepers." ”

Master Jiang took Zhang Shi, Hu Shopkeeper and others to the outside of the main hall, and Li Qiufeng was about to follow, but he heard Xiao Dong say: "Brother Zhu stay for the time being, please trouble you to untie the fast acupoints in the courtyard." Fang is a misunderstanding, don't hurt the harmony. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and walked quickly to the courtyard. I saw that the more than a dozen catchers who followed Master Jiang back to the yamen had already helped the catchers he had knocked down to the left corridor. It's just that these quick trapping points are unsolved, so they can only lie under the porch. These people only felt that their whole bodies were sore, they could not move, they could not speak, and they were terrified in their hearts. When I saw Li Qiufeng walking out of the main hall, he went straight to the corridor. These hunters lying on the ground were frightened, and their faces changed drastically. The dozen or so unsuccessful catchers were originally sitting under the corridor to rest, but when they saw Li Qiufeng arrive, they stood up one after another, and a few of them even pulled out their swords to fight with Li Qiufeng.

Li Qiufeng walked to the corridor and stopped, arched his hand and said: "Fang is a misunderstanding, there is a lot of offense below, please forgive me." Lord Xiao ordered to unlock the acupoints for you in the future, not to fight with you, you don't have to worry. ”

Only then did the dozen or so catchers put away their swords and watched Li Qiufeng walk into the corridor. I saw him circling between the crowds lying on the ground, and his right hand kept moving on the catcher's body. In the blink of an eye, he had made a lap under the cloister. After a few moments, only a moan was heard. However, although the acupoints of the crowd were unraveled by Li Qiufeng, the blood veins were sealed for a long time, and the acupoints were unraveled at first glance, and they only felt a tingling pain all over their bodies, and some of them couldn't help but scream.

Li Qiufeng said: "When you first solve the acupoints, there will be some soreness and tingling pain on your body, not because of internal injuries, so you don't have to worry." Just move your hands and feet a little and the stinging pain will go away. ”

After he finished speaking, he arched his hand towards the crowd, turned and left. These catchers hated and feared him, and when they saw him turn away, no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Li Qiufeng walked to the door of the main hall, and was about to go to the meeting room on the right, but heard Xiao Dong say in the main hall: "Brother Zhu, please come in and talk." ”

Li Qiufeng walked into the main hall, arrived in front of Xiao Dong, and arched his hand and said, "What do you want Lord Xiao to order?"

Xiao Dong said: "We lost a boat, and we have to find another place to rest tonight." Master Li said that there is a Dongsheng Inn in the city, which is very clean and tidy, so we might as well rest there. Zhang Yuanwai, Shopkeeper Hu and others were talking to Master Jiang, and they couldn't get out of their bodies for a while. It was because the official wanted to bother Brother Zhu to go to the dock and take Qin Lao Wu and the three boatmen to the Dongsheng Inn. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Since Lord Xiao ordered him to come down, do you dare to disobey your orders?"

Xiao Dong nodded and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Zhu." As for this person......

Xiao Dong said as he glanced at Wei Erbao, who was shivering in a corner of the main hall, and then said: "This Wei shopkeeper is from Dongliao County, and he must be very familiar with the roads in the city. Let him go to the dock with you, and then take you, Qin Lao Wu and the others to the Dongsheng Inn. ”

Li Qiufeng agreed, and then turned around and walked outside the main hall. Wei Erbao slammed towards Xiao Dong to the ground, and then quickly caught up with Li Qiufeng. After the two walked out of the main hall, they saw that those who had been pointed out of the acupoints had already stood up from the ground, stretching their arms and moving their legs. Seeing Li Qiufeng and Wei Erbao walking out, these catchers were stunned at first, and then a few people pulled out their swords. Li Qiufeng ignored these people and walked out of the door on his own.

After Li Qiufeng and Wei Erbao walked out of the yamen, it was already late at night, and there was no one on the street. Wei Erbao saw that Li Qiufeng had defeated more than 20 catchers without much effort, and he admired him more and more, and made up his mind to be careful. As soon as he got out of the Yamen gate, he nodded and said: "When the uncle first arrived in Dongliao County, he didn't know the roads in the city, so let the villain lead the way to the dock for the adults." ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and followed Wei Erbao towards the dock. Along the way, Wei Erbao and Li Qiufeng talked about things in Wangjiazhuang, and they had palpitations. He said to Li Qiufeng: "I can't hide it, the villain is also the first time to enter Wangjiazhuang, I didn't expect the Zhuang Ding inside to be so fierce, and he is unreasonable compared to the officials in the yamen." The villain was arrested by them, locked in a stone house, and did not give the villain food and drink, but just let a few rough men punch and kick the villain, and forced the villain to be instructed by whom to make trouble in Wangjiazhuang. In the past, the villain heard that Wangjiazhuang was not allowed to outsiders to enter, and thought it was a false rumor, but he didn't expect that these rumors were true. If it weren't for the uncle's help, I was afraid that the villain would suffer more in Wangjiazhuang. ”

Li Qiufeng dealt with a few words casually, and thought to himself, I heard Miss Wang mention that there are really a lot of bad people who are worried about Wang Yuan's foreign property, and the Wang family has to be careful and do not allow outsiders to enter the village. However, fortunately, Wangjiazhuang is in Dongliao County, outside the Guan, if it is in various parts of the Central Plains, even if it is the elder of Zhishi, he will never dare to be so arrogant. Otherwise, if you are included in the imperial history, you will inevitably be severely punished. As the saying goes, "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", but remote places also have the benefits of remote places. Looking at Li Zhisheng and Master Pan's confused appearance, they can also be powerful in Dongliao County. If the two of them were officials in the Guannei Yamen, they would have been removed from their posts and investigated long ago.

After the two arrived at the pier, they saw Qin Lao Wu and the three boatmen sitting on the stone pillars on the shore, talking in a low voice. Qin Lao Wuyi was not angry when he saw Wei Erbao, but he admired Li Qiufeng very much, and because Li Qiufeng was beside him, he did not get angry at Wei Erbao. Li Qiufeng briefly explained the matter of the yamen, and finally said: "Lord Xiao wants us to go to the Dongsheng Inn to rest first, and this case will be handed over to the magistrate of Dongliao County Yamen for disposal." The fifth brother doesn't have to guard here anymore. ”

Qin Lao Wu was not as panicked as he was when he saw the disappearance of the big boat at first glance, and after listening to Li Qiufeng's words, he immediately left the dock with three boatmen and Li Qiufeng and Wei Erbao. Out of nowhere, the three boatmen found sticks, cotton cloth, and lamp oil, and made a few torches, which they lit to show the way. Qin Lao Wu pointed to the empty houses near the dock as he walked, and said, "Brother Zhu, I just walked around the dock, and roughly calculated, there are at least two or three hundred people living in these houses. Within a few hours, not only did the dozen or so boats on the dock disappear, but even the two or three hundred people were nowhere to be found. If someone really deliberately embarrasses us, their power is probably unimaginable to us. ”

When Qin Lao Wu said this, his voice trembled slightly. I only heard him continue: "This time I went to sea, I have encountered all kinds of strange things that have never been seen before, and it is unknown whether I can return to Ningbo alive." It's just that I was greedy for a while, and I went to sea with the surname Xiao to wade into this troubled water. It's nothing if I'm injured and die, but if something happens to my brothers, it will be a hundred sins that will not be atoned for! ”
