After treating Ma Dufang and repeatedly pleading Mu Sanqian, Ma Guanyu talked back and forth with Mu Sanqian for a few words, and then retreated.

Mu Sanqian didn't want to hold on, there were a few more people like Ma Dufang in Qiyuan's officialdom, and it was too late for him to secretly steal the fun.

But after dawn, there was another accident on this reckless merchant ship.

I couldn't sleep all night and waited for the sleepy eyes to go to the deck to let the wind out, who knew that as soon as I came out, I saw a few people gathered around, and it seemed that there were women crying hoarsely. When I looked over, hey, a middle-aged woman wearing luxurious clothes and an extremely plump figure was almost paralyzed on the ground, holding a person's thigh and refusing to let go, and she couldn't wipe her tears and just wailed: Ma Gongzi has to be the master of the slave family, how can the slave family come out to do business, how can you say that you can't see it!

was hugged tightly by this woman and didn't lose it, isn't it Ma Dufang, who suffered a dumb loss at Mu Sanqian's hands yesterday?

"Yo he, our case solving masters are really popular. ”

Mu Sanqian was happy after reading it, and then the sleepiness was swept away, and Yang Shanzhe, who came out with Mu Sanqian, just nodded, and couldn't see whether he was happy or sad in his heart.

Ma Dufang, who was surrounded by people, was obviously not as calm as yesterday, especially after crossing the crowd and seeing Mu Sanqian coming out of the room, his face was even more embarrassed, and he was very white and wonderful.

It's a pity that he, a weak scholar, couldn't break free of the wailing woman several times, and in embarrassment, he hurriedly summoned the guards to pull away.

After letting go, the woman was also shocked that she was a little out of shape, but after reining in, she was still next to Ma Dufang.

"My lord didn't come back after getting up last night, and I didn't dare to go out at night, so I asked the housekeepers and servants at home to find it in the morning, and there was still no shadow of the master. ”

But before she could finish speaking, the woman seemed to be about to cry again.

"Ma Gongzi is the son of the county lord's family, and the county lord is also on the boat, you must be the master of the slave family!"

"Someone is missing again?"

"I didn't hear the old lady say that his master is gone. ”

"His master is not an ordinary person, half of the cargo on our ship belongs to his. ”

"Is that so, could it be that someone wants to kill someone for money, but first kills a porter to hide people's eyes?"

"There's some truth to your analysis. ”

"What nonsense, just a hundred or so people on one of our boats, looking up and not looking down to see them, who can't see if they have that evil heart?"

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

"It can't be that this ship is haunted, right?"

... ...

When the crowd was talking about this, I don't know whose sentence was "It's not haunted?" and soon caused a wave of fear to spread across the ship.

"Didn't you say he was the most suspicious?

Someone saw Mu Sanqian who came out to let off steam, thinking that Young Master Ma said that this person was the most suspicious yesterday, so he immediately pointed the finger at Mu Sanqian, who had just appeared.

"Yes, yes, I'll have to ask him!"

"That is, you can't leave a scourge on the ship!"

It was so incitement that even the woman who could not find the head of the house had to come this way.

"Hey, why don't you ask your eldest son, he knows best if I am the culprit. ”

Mu Sanqian didn't want to be held on his lap by a plump old woman like Ma Dufang, so he hurriedly threw Lei to Ma Dufang.

"Ma Gongzi, yesterday you sent someone to watch this kid all night, could he be the murderer who killed Ding Sheng and Boss Jiang successively?"

"Yes, Ma Gongzi, if he is the murderer, we are willing to help you arrest him!"

"Yes, yes!"

There was another wave of echoing.

Mu Sanqian looked helplessly, although the people are kind and simple, but they are indeed very ignorant, such a few simple words can be instigated, but if it is used by people with bad intentions, it is definitely a big hidden danger.

"Mu-sama is not a murderer. ”

Ma Dufang is still a little difficult to accept, after going back yesterday, his father taught him a hard lesson, which is a shame that has never been seen in more than 20 years. But Mu Sanqian is indeed an existence that he can't afford to provoke, and he can die a hundred times by indiscriminating with the red clothes with his will.

"No, not the murderer?"

Some impulsives were about to grab Mu Sanqian's clothes, and suddenly Ma Dufang said that he was not a murderer and put it down again.

"Then there are people on this boat who have disappeared one after another, and now they are all panicking, and Ma Gongzi has to find out the truth as soon as possible to give everyone a peace of mind. ”

"If you can check it, you will definitely check it. ”

Mu Sanqian went to the deck, and Ma Dufang didn't want to stay longer, and quickly followed the guards back to the room.

Boss Jiang's wife also returned to the cabin with the support of the two girls and the housekeeper, and when he passed Mu Sanqian, he noticed that the woman's face had lost her soul.

"This ship is really weird. ”

Mu Sanqian walked to the edge of the railing with Yang Shan Zhe, the scenery on both sides of the strait was slowly being left behind by the merchant ships and becoming more and more blurred, and the truth they wanted to know was the same, hidden under the layers of fog and unpredictable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How many are these?"

At night, the sudden wind poured like a huge wave into every part of the merchant ship, and the wind roared like the ghosts of the abyss of hell screaming and wailing.

Suddenly two burly figures came out of the shadows, and both of them were carrying sack-shaped things in their hands.

"The eighth, after losing this, you don't have to sneak around anymore. ”

"No, there are people missing on this ship one after another, and sooner or later it will not be able to suppress the fire. ”

"If you can't suppress it, you can't suppress it, and the Taoist chief doesn't care about this. ”

"It's the sixteenth day, and I've lost eight people in the water, but I still don't understand, what the hell is the Taoist chief doing?"

The two of them talked softly as they carefully moved the sack to the side of the boat, and on the other side was the unclear surface of the waves.

"What are you doing here? The Taoist naturally has his reasons. Let's just take the money. Don't be like the two stupid people who came out of Yu Jiaao, they didn't even dare to kill anyone, and as a result, they were thrown away in the river. ”

Speaking of this, the two of them had palpitations. Usually monks pay attention to compassion, which is not all kind-hearted people, the Taoist is different, that kind killing is more ruthless than most people, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken a nine-year-old child with him.

"Didn't you hear that you had to throw nine people into the river? ”

"Where is so much nonsense, the more you know, the sooner you die. ”

The questioning man was scolded sharply.

"This ninth person is none other than the disciple that the Dao Chief accepted in Caojia Village, Cao Shuanglu. ”

"Huh?"

"Be quiet!"

The two of them hurriedly silenced to see if there was any movement in the four corners.

"Do you know why you can't see Cao Shuang show up in the room these days?"

"Why?"

"The Taoist takes blood from Cao Shuanglu's body every day, and fishes with blood at night, and then we throw the living into the river!"

"Really?"

The man was visibly shocked by this statement, and his tone was full of incredulity.

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. ”

The one who speaks swears.

The two of them did the same as the previous seven times, drew their knives and poked a bloody hole in the sack and threw them into the river.

The wind was high and the waves were strong, and with a pop, it was drowned in the noise in an instant.

Fishing for evil in flesh and blood?

Mu Sanqian, who was hidden in the shadows, touched for a while and couldn't figure out the doorway, Xing Xu Ning Old Man was well-informed, so it was better to ask him for advice first.
