Many people are suspicious
Guo Ming was first frightened half to death by Chi Zhongtian's actions just now, and then he was poured a dose of fierce medicine by the king, at this time, he had no other thoughts, that is, he quickly asked the soldiers of the navy to drive the boat to find someone.
In order to be able to identify it more clearly, a few junior officers of Shenwu Long Yangwei followed Guo Ming.
It wasn't until dusk that Guo Ming rushed back with the people of the navy.
Chi Zhongtian was thinking about things in the room at the moment, and when he heard that Guo Ming was back, he immediately jumped up and ran out.
When he walked to the courtyard in front of the palace, he found that there were already many people gathered here, among them, the king was also there.
"Zhongtian, come and have a look. After the king looked back and saw Chi Zhongtian, he whispered.
Chi Zhongtian walked over according to his words, and the onlookers gradually dispersed a little, and after walking inside, he found that there were some dead bodies neatly arranged on the ground.
You must know that the corpse is going to sink at the beginning of the water, but because it has been soaked for too long, the decaying gas in the body will float up, once the corpse floats up, then the corpse will not be the same, such as these in front of Chi Zhongtian, all of them are fat and fat, as if they were filled with gas in their stomachs, and the facial features on their faces are also swollen, anyway, they are miserable.
Luckily, it's cool at this time, so there's not much smell yet.
"Lord Wang, General Chi, these are the people who wear this kind of armor. "Guo Ming took someone to retrieve the corpse, and when he got there, he was also scared half to death, a large number of dead bodies floated on the river, in addition to these, it was those water bandits, and this matter has spread, and we all know that there was a big incident in the Jialing River two days ago, so there are many fewer passing boats.
"No! there's one less!" Chi Zhongtian counted back and forth twice, and there were only eighteen.
"General, we have been looking for a long time, and we have let people go into the water, and there are indeed only so many people wearing this kind of clothes. An officer who was defending the dragon said in a low voice.
"Look for it again!" Chi Zhongtian suddenly roared, startling everyone.
"Lao Tzu asked you to bring someone to find it again! Can't you hear!" Seeing that Guo Ming didn't react, Chi Zhongtian scolded again.
"General Guo, hard work, go quickly!" King Zun saw Chi Zhongtian's appearance, lest he would lose control for a while and attack Guo Ming again, so he hurriedly made a look and asked Guo Ming to leave quickly.
Guo Ming is not a fool, how dare he fight back at this time, after glancing at Chi Zhongtian with a complicated expression, he turned around and left.
"Tell Jiang Xianda and let him arrange for these people to be buried. Chi Zhongtian stopped and stared for a long time, then shook his head and left.
Shortly after he returned to his room, the King followed.
"Zhongtian, I think you're a little too emotional. The King said with a sigh.
Chi Zhongtian smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, do you know which sect I am from. ”
"You know, you're from the Cold Leaf Valley of the Northern Stygian Mountain. The king replied.
"Those eighteen people just now are all disciples of Cold Leaf Valley, and I know them all. Chi Zhongtian said.
"Ahh
"Our Cold Leaf Valley is not as good as the Central Plains Sect, most of the people who go to us are helpless people, although there are not many disciples in our Cold Leaf Valley, but the affection between each other is very deep, Lord Wang, you may not have seen it, just now, there were many disciples of the Cold Leaf Valley who were alive, and after seeing the corpse, they were already crying. ”
Although what he said was someone else crying, anyone could hear that Chi Zhongtian's voice was also slightly hoarse.
"Alas, pathetic. The King said silently.
"Lord Wang, this time the incident is unusual, I always feel that it is not an ordinary water bandit. Chi Zhongtian said suddenly.
"Oh?
In the eyes of King Zun, Chi Zhongtian must have been patronizing and sad in the past two days, how can he still have the heart to think about these.
"Lord Wang, the reason why I stayed in the room for the past two days is just to think about this matter quietly. Chi Zhongtian replied.
"That's good, that's good!" the king suddenly smiled when he heard this.
It's not that I really care if Chi Zhongtian is thinking about it, but it's good to just let King Zun know that Chi Zhongtian is not overly sad.
"Tell me what you think. The King asked.
"Someone must have planned this. Chi Zhongtian said gloomily.
"Oh, somebody's plotting?" said the king, not daring to go any further.
"Lord Wang, there is one thing, I want to ask, the door of the cargo hold where you were at that time was open, and who closed it later?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
King Venerable pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "It shouldn't be closed, it seems to have hit it with a bang, and they thought it was caused by a strong wind on the water, and it was indeed a little cold at that time, so after it was closed, no one cared about it." ”
"No, I remember that there were still a few chains on the door, and when I went there, I clearly remembered that there were a lot of water stains on the chains, and the ship had not sunk at that time, so where did the water stains on the chains come from?" Chi Zhongtian then asked.
"So what do you mean?"
"I think someone must have climbed out of the water into the big boat and locked you inside, so that there are water stains on the chains, and it makes sense. Chi Zhongtian said.
"What are we doing locking us up?" the king seemed to be a little confused at this time.
"It's not easy, they want to do it to you. Chi Zhongtian replied.
"Attack me? is it impossible, how would those people know that I am on this ship?" asked the king.
At this time, Chi Zhongtian suddenly stood up, first walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, and then said: "To know this, there are too many people who need to ask. ”
"Who are you going to ask?" said the king.
"Guo Ming, Jiang Xianda, the owner of the big ship, Fuzi, and that guide!" Chi Zhongtian said in a gloomy tone.
Without waiting for King Zun to speak, Chi Zhongtian continued: "Guo Ming didn't borrow a boat, Jiang Xianda happened to lend it to me, I took Fuzi's big boat to go back in the middle of the night, if it was an ordinary water bandit, weishenme didn't take advantage of the middle of the night to start, but had to wait for the day? ”
When Chi Zhongtian said this, King Zun also nodded with deep sympathy, and then said: "You are right, this matter is a bit strange, but I don't understand, if it is to attack me according to what you said, who will it be?"
