Chen Zheng and the others also drank until late at night, but the small wine shop on the dock was about to close, so they dispersed.

Chen Zheng got on the boat that he had promised the man during the day, and brought two more people, a group of four, and set off towards Nayun City to prepare for a chic play. The small ferry boat was moving slowly on the water, and Chen Zheng and the others talked and drank on the deck of the boat.

"Huh, isn't that the boat of the black iron ball? Why did he stop here in the water, didn't he say that he would send the little lady to the White Emperor City overnight during the day today, why did he rest here. The owner of the boat pointed to a ferry boat at the shore of the river and said in surprise.

Chen Zheng followed his fingers, and also saw the ferry boat that was still faintly lit with a fishing fire, and said lightly: "That's the boat that picked up the girl who was going to White Emperor City at the pier of Lucheng today?"

The owner of the boat looked at Chen Zheng's expression, smiled, and said: "It's not wrong, we have a group of people setting up boats on this river, and it has been some time to ferry people and things, and it is more accurate to recognize the boat than to recognize people." ”

Before the owner of the boat could finish speaking, a person next to him took over and said with a lewd smile: "You say, will they be comfortable to dock the boat here because they took down the little lady?" ”

Chen Zheng listened to their words, and also smiled indifferently, thinking back to the ferryman they called Black Iron Ball during the day, thinking that he was also honest and faithful, including the two deputies on his boat, who also looked like honest people.

So Chen Zheng said: "Okay, don't look at others like us, not like good people, I look at the three of them today and are quite honest, besides, it's not like we haven't picked flowers, I just went a few days ago." ”

The owner of the ship, the man, also knew the three of the Black Iron Ball, and when he heard Chen Zheng say this, he also nodded in agreement with the honest opinion of those people.

But when he heard Chen Zheng say that he had just gone to pick flowers a few days ago, the owner of the boat hurriedly leaned close to Chen Zheng and asked, "Ah Zheng, tell me a few buddies, what kind of girl did you spoil a few days ago, your breasts are not big, and your ass is not upright." ”

Chen Zheng listened to his question, looked at the few people next to him who were looking at him with curiosity and envy, and also smiled lewdly, inserted the books he had been holding in his hands into the waistband of his trousers, rolled up his sleeves with both hands, and really planned to describe it vividly.

But just as Chen Zheng opened his mouth to speak, there was a sound of throwing things into the water from the black iron ball ferry, which also interrupted the momentum of Chen Zheng's speech.

Chen Zheng and the others also looked at the black iron ball ferry over there together, and Chen Zheng spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, I heard your ferryman say that you can't throw things into the water at night, right?"

The owner of the ship was also a little stunned, and said lightly: "If you say so, it's not impossible to really lose something, after all, it's just such a statement, if you believe it, you don't believe it." ”

Chen Zheng didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, but he slapped the deck of the ferry with one hand, and the whole person got up with the momentum, flew like a dragonfly touching the water, and went to the ferry called the black iron ball.

As soon as Chen Zheng landed on the bow deck of the black iron ball, he saw his two ferry deputies, who didn't know what they had just done, and they were sweating profusely.

They also recognized Chen Zheng, who often went to the dock and ferry to drink and talk with them, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Hei, Brother Hei, a friend is here." The black iron ball in the cabin probably also heard the movement and walked out of it.

And Chen Zheng didn't pay attention to them at all, he listened attentively, and with the movement of his ears, he saw that he suddenly flew up and fell straight into the river by the boat.

As Chen Zhengren fell, when his toes could touch the river, he directly stepped out of a gap in the river, and with a soft finger of his hand, a linen cloth wrapped in the river flew out in response.

Seeing this, Chen Zheng immediately reached out and grabbed it, and then just turned around, and then flew back to the ferry boat with the black iron ball. The burlap bag he brought up in his hand was also placed on the bow deck by him, and the bag, not to mention the river water, was mixed with a trace of blood red inside.

The black iron ball also knew the identity of this Chen Zheng before, because he was not surprised to see him have such a method, but the black iron ball still asked puzzled: "Brother Zheng, I don't know what you are doing, you are in a hurry." ”

Chen Zheng didn't say much to him, he was angry with two fingers, and with a wave of his hand, he directly broke the burlap bag wrapped in something, and in the bag, the one who was faint and lying was Liu Morui, who wanted to take a boat to White Emperor City during the day.

Chen Zheng looked at Liu Morui, who was not hanging a trace from head to toe, but was still covered with blood, and said lightly: "Then you should tell me what this means first?"

When Hei Tieqiu heard Chen Zheng ask this, he also smiled and said: "Picking flowers, isn't it the first time for the three of us, I don't have much experience, I started harder, don't say it, this girl is actually good." Of course, I can't see it now, you drove the boat over there, why didn't you come earlier, the three of us have been playing here for a long time, and now that she is like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to play. ”

Chen Zheng listened to the words of the black iron ball like ordinary words, looked at Liu Morui, who seemed to have only one breath left on the ground and would break at any time, and asked lightly: "Since the three of you have ruined her, why do you still want to kill people, you know, it's not just the three of you who are in trouble, I also have friends who are also ferrying here." ”

When the black iron ball heard Chen Zheng say this, he also sneered, and said: "Do you think how powerful you are, you talk about you before the shadowless gate at every turn, which makes us who have never seen the world envy and worship you a lot, do you know? Now you can't get along with it yourself, so you persuade us to be good in turn, saying that you don't seem to have done anything evil, have you never killed anyone or never picked flowers? Besides, don't you see that my side is also going to be clean, it's all thrown into the river, what trouble can there be. ”

Chen Zheng's face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything, but just tore off a canvas and covered Liu Morui's body, hugged her, and said to the three black iron balls who were right, but in fact, they were already scared half dead in their hearts: "I pick flowers, but I don't destroy them, today's events should be counted on my head." From now on, the flowers and scholars do not exist, only smell and do not pick, if you let me know that you will do such a hurtful thing in the future, then the one who was thrown into this river to feed the fish must be you. ”

After Chen Zheng said this to the black iron ball, he also got up and paddled across the river, he looked at Liu Morui, who was dying in his arms, but in fact, Liu Morui, who had just woken up when Chen Zheng spoke, muttered softly: "I am not a good person, but the girl suffered this ordeal somewhat because of my tongue, I will take you back to the city, whether you live or die, it depends on your own creation." ”

Overnight, Chen Zheng hugged Liu Morui in his arms, crossed the water all the way, and returned to the city where she first boarded the ship. Because Chen Zheng didn't know her identity, he could only place her in a medical center, but even when the doctor saw Liu Morui's injury, he was startled and looked at Chen Zheng strangely.

Chen Zheng didn't say much, just put down the silver taels all over his body, and left a sentence, if you can save it, you can save it, and if you can't save it, you will buy a good coffin, bury it for her, and then leave.

Later, after cleaning Liu Morui's wounds and removing the blood, the doctor also recognized her as the eldest lady of the Liu family in the Baimu Court of this city, and was also frightened for a while, so he hurriedly asked the servants of the family to quietly go to the Liu family to report the news.

Liu Xiao, the head of the Liu family, was anxious, and his eldest daughter slipped out quietly, leaving only a letter saying that he would go to White Emperor City to give his second sister a divorce, and nothing else mattered, but just this matter of retreating, he was extremely annoyed.

Now I heard someone report that Liu Morui was in the hospital, so I didn't think much about it, so I hurriedly followed to check, but before Liu Xiao arrived, in the end, Liu Morui was still incurable due to serious injuries, and died of exhaustion, and only said the word Wenhua when she was dying.

Liu Xiao was annoyed, the loss of a daughter was one, and this kind of disgraceful thing was even more embarrassing, so after he learned from the doctor the appearance of the person who sent Liu Morui, he had a ruthless attack and killed the doctor's entire family, and then deliberately revealed the news, Miss Baimuting in Lucheng, Liu Morui died of illness, and he hid it from outsiders, even the descendants of the Liu family, few people knew the truth about it.

And the second lady of the Liu family, Liu Wanying, once thought that her eldest sister really died of illness, after all, Liu Morui was indeed frail and sickly since she was a child. In this way, as if it had never happened, it sank, and it took a year or two, until one day, when she went to Liu Xiao again to refuse her marriage to Luo Lianlin of the White Emperor City, she knew the truth.

"Father, why do you have to marry your daughter to Na Luo Lianlin, just in terms of the casting process of the wooden puppet, Uncle Liu Yang is better than many people in their Luo family. Liu Wanying looked at Liu Xiao, who was looking at some paperwork, and asked, but Liu Xiao seemed to be annoyed by something, and his face was embarrassed.

Liu Xiao replied impatiently: "What's the use of being able to do it, being able to use it is the key, people can use wooden puppets, and they can use stainless steel with dark iron, and we can compare with others in addition to making some wooden machine skills." ”

Liu Wanying looked at Liu Xiao's obvious impatience, and was about to continue to say something, but Liu Xiao also saw her intentions, so before she could speak, she shouted: "Can you not be willful? Your sister went out to the White Emperor City and was harmed by Wenhua Scholar because of your thing of wanting to refuse marriage, what do you want now?"

As soon as Liu Xiao finished speaking, he also realized that he had said too much, so he ignored Liu Wanying's questioning, just explained the slip of the tongue, and went back to the room.

But in Liu Wanying's heart, there are more and more doubts, thinking of all kinds of things back then, why didn't she let herself restrain her sister, why her sister suddenly fell ill and died, and why the family seemed to be vague about her sister's affairs.

As the doubts in her heart became more and more dense, before Liu Xiao talked to the Luo family about her last marriage, Liu Wanying brought some small and delicate props, and remembered the name of the scholar named Wenhua, and also sneaked out of this Baimu Garden.
