Seeing the situation, the middle-aged man smiled and hugged his fist towards Ye Boxin.

However, because of Ye Boxin's relationship, the middle-aged man accepted the previous idea of burning the ship directly, and began to let his monks examine and interrogate everyone on the ship one by one.

At first the sailors of the merchant ships, then the helmsmen, the servants of the wealthy merchants, and so on.

Finally, there are the captains and the wealthy merchants who charter the ships.

...........

Zhu Xiangwen hid behind Mo Lian, holding Mo Lian's arm, looking like a timid and well-behaved little sister, and even his expression made people unable to see anything wrong.

She listened to the distant inquiry getting closer and closer, and her heart became more and more nervous, and her heart beat violently, even transmitted to Mo Lian.

"Don't be afraid...... Don't be afraid...... Young master, don't be afraid...... The dead clansmen will protect us, and the old man of the Ye family is here...... They, they definitely don't dare to be presumptuous, don't dare to ......" Mo Lian patted Zhu Xiangwen, but she herself panicked because she was afraid.

At this time, the situation was already beyond the ability of the two, and she could only verbally comfort a few words, and then resigned herself to fate.

"Yes, the spirit of the clansmen in the sky will protect us, and it will be fine...... Zhu Xiangwen replied softly, he didn't dare to look up at everyone, he could only curl up his body as much as possible, fear flowing from his eyes and ears, and deep into his heart like sharp roots.

If at this time, the hidden magic weapon that his father gave him before his death does not work, then today is his death date, and not only he dies alone, but everyone on the entire merchant ship present must be buried together!

He lowered his head, and soon a female monk in the search team stepped forward, she held a silver long whip in her hand, and looked at the cowardly Zhu Xiangwen, a little puzzled.

Without a word, the female monk took the long whip and recited a mantra, and the long whip grew abruptly, like the roots of an old tree, trapping the 'two girls', and constantly blooming with a little starlight into their bodies.

Fortunately, that was all there was to it, and after a few breaths, the whip was automatically released, and the previous starlight detached and fell back into the whip.

"You're in luck. The female monk said lightly, ended her search for the 'two girls', and turned to leave.

"Thank God...... The fat rich businessman burst into tears, and hugged Zhu Xiangwen and Mo Lian in his arms, "Big girl, second girl, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, now after the inspection, go back to the cabin to rest." ”

"It's okay Dad, we're here with you, we're not afraid, we're not going anywhere!" Mo Lian wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a resolute expression.

It turned out that the two were pretending to be the two daughters of a wealthy businessman.

Zhu Xiangwen didn't speak, but just hugged the rich businessman's arms, his body twitched and pretended to cry.

His gaze quietly fell on Ye Boxin, who was standing at the edge of the deck, with anticipation in his eyes.

Time gradually passed, and there were not many people on the merchant ship, but it still took more than half an hour for this group of searchers to conclude the entire investigation.

To their disappointment, even after layers of screening, they still found nothing, and there was no whereabouts of that thing.

Several leaders returned to the middle-aged man on the big boat and carefully reported the results to him.

"What? didn't find it?" he said, his face becoming more and more difficult to look at, and his eyes began to scan over and over the people on the merchant ship.

He first fixed his gaze on the fat rich merchant, and then carefully swept over the entire ship, seeing that everyone was frightened, and one by one they broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he turned his gaze back to the other ladies standing in the corner.

Mo Lian and Zhu Xiangwen were just two of the ladies on the boat, and there were also many concubines, maids, maids, maids, etc. of wealthy merchants, about a dozen people gathered together, and they didn't dare to move under the middle-aged man's gaze.

Ye Boxin noticed that even if the middle-aged man's eyes fell on a few of the women with good figures and beautiful faces, he did not stop at all, and he was definitely a resolute person.

Most of these people are obsessed with cultivation or power, and they belong to the most difficult group of people.

After the middle-aged man glanced at it all, he didn't notice anything wrong either.

"Are you sure they've all been interrogated?" he said in a deep voice.

A masked man with gold trim on his clothes thought for a while, then nodded solemnly: "I'm sure I've interrogated them all, and I haven't found any clues." I only know that this ship is from Qinglong Town, except for the three people of the Ye family, the rest are nearby businessmen, this big ship is the flagship of the weak water Chamber of Commerce, and the rich businessman is the steward of the Min Nan Chamber of Commerce, and he came here to sell some jewelry and wine purchased from the southern cities. ”

"Joke, what is a businessman doing with his family when he talks about business?

It is said that this wealthy merchant likes to mess with flowers and grass, and there are hundreds of wives and concubines in Fengdu City alone, and these ladies on the ship are all found by him from the southern cities and are ready to be taken home to the courtyard. The subordinate replied in a low voice.

"What else?"

"No, there aren't many members on the ship, everyone has the same clues, that's all there is to ask, and there's nothing out of the ordinary. The subordinate replied calmly.

The middle-aged man's face became more and more gloomy: "Are you really sure that there is no trace of Zhu Xiangwen?

"The whip was also used, and everyone probed it, but there was no response either. ”

"Impossible, it is impossible for Ling Bozong's intelligence to be wrong, is there anything missing on the ship?"

"This ......" Hearing this question, the man began to hesitate, and his eyes imperceptibly skimmed to the three Ye Boxin who were standing on the side.

The middle-aged man understood the meaning of his subordinates, frowned, and his gaze also moved, falling on Ye Boxin, who was standing in the distance.

"This fellow Daoist, don't blame me for not giving you face, but this time it's really a big deal, please forgive me. He stretched out his hand, and suddenly two masked men in gold-rimmed robes walked out behind him, holding steel knives at their waists, and striding towards Ye Boxin.

Ye Boxin's face was stunned, and he immediately became furious, almost unable to control his desire to make a move.

The Mo Chen behind him became more and more impatient, and he wanted to make a move forward, but he was still stopped by Ye Boxin.

"Don't be impulsive! I'll take care of it. Ye Boxin took a deep breath, as the inner elder of the Ye family in Fengdu City, he was usually admired, how could he have been humiliated like this.

"What do you want to do? Do you still want to search the old man's body!?" His eyes were sharp, and the qi and blood in his body began to stir, like a fierce tiger, staring at the middle-aged man.

Such a powerful momentum emanated, and the two masked men who stepped forward were stunned at the moment, and they were suppressed and unable to move.

But the middle-aged man was expressionless in the face of this momentum: "Daoyou is serious, but I said that the matter is important, and now on the entire ship, only you have not searched ......"
