[070] Rumors of the Dragon King
Each member of the Tiger Gang has a token on his body, which is used to verify their identity.
The gang leader has a gilded token. After Wang Meng became the gang leader, Chen Sheng handed over this thing to him as proof that Wang Meng became the new gang leader.
Qin Yuesheng touched the token larger than a slap in his hand and said to himself: "Tiger Gang, you guys are really endless. It seems that Qingyang City cannot keep you."
After putting down the token, Qin Yuesheng immediately picked up the small jar. The jar contained two longan-sized pills. The smell smelled quite fragrant. However, because he did not know the effect of the medicine, Qin Yuesheng did not dare to take it rashly.
After all, he didn't know whether he would get the all-round essence by relying on his super auxiliary device to take poisoned pills, or would he just burp it.
Such things are not allowed to bet on.
As for the pure gold insole, Qin Yuesheng asked Chunfeng to wash it, and after it was melted, it could be used as funds for purchasing pills.
At present, Qingyang City has not purchased large-scale pills, so Qin Yuesheng planned to choose a day to take some time and go to Yangzhou Prefecture to buy it. Of course, the premise is that the funds must be in place, and the price of good pills is not cheap.
"Young Master."
At this time, Cao Zhengchun walked in from outside the house. That kind of thing had just happened in the mansion, so Qin Yuesheng asked Cao Zhengchun to see Qin Feng's reaction.
Although I don’t know why, Qin Yuesheng could guess that Wang Meng entered the Qin Mansion because of himself. After all, he kept shouting that the Qin family’s children came out to see him when they were fighting.
"Young master, the master is not in the mansion, and the second wife is not there either." Cao Zhengchun said.
"Oh? Where did you go?"
"I heard from A Fu, who served the master, and A Xiang, who served the second wife, that a cargo ship under the Qin family that had previously transported cargo in Chang'an will arrive at the Gusu Wharf this morning. Both the master and the second wife went to ferry."
"Oh." Qin Yuesheng breathed a sigh of relief: "So they are not in the mansion. I said that there was such a big stir just now, why didn't they see them?"
He handed the small jar to Cao Zhengchun, and Qin Yuesheng said, "Go and help me do something, take this to Doctor Hua to check it to see if it is poisonous and harmful to the human body. If not, take it back."
"yes."
...
Gusu Wharf.
Qingyang City is adjacent to the Gusu River and there are also freighters from south to north, so the water transportation is very developed.
This time, Qin Feng specially asked the cargo ship to Chang'an to purchase goods to arrive, so he naturally had to come to the dock to check it out in person.
As the head of the Qin family, Qin Feng did not need to end the ordinary cargo in person, but this time the cargo ship came in from Chang'an with expensive jade and wood, with a total value of more than 4,000 taels of gold.
This money is not a small amount for the Qin family, so Qin Feng is particularly concerned about it.
Standing at the dock with Duan Hongjin, at the upper reaches of the Gusu River, a second-story cargo ship slowly sailed. There were three large flags on the bow, and all the characters "Qin".
The boat leans on the sails, and the sails rely on the wind, but it flies all the way.
"Master, the boat is here." Duan Hongjin said softly.
"Yes." Qin Feng nodded, and his body that had been tense was a lot more relaxed.
The merchant ship approached the dock and the whole picture was captured in the eyes of everyone on the shore, but strangely, there was no crew member on the deck at this moment, and the whole boat was quite quiet.
This situation is extremely abnormal. Generally speaking, after docking, anchoring, lanyard, and sailing are necessary to operate, otherwise the ship will hit the dock or continue to float downstream without restrictions.
"Master, be careful!"
Immediately, a guard pulled Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin apart. In a few blink of an eye, the cargo ship suddenly hit the edge of the dock, directly knocking out a large number of cracks in the dock's bluestone.
If Qin Feng hadn't left for a distance, he would probably be in danger.
"What's the situation? Why don't there be even a broken-down person?" The Qin boatmen guarding the dock asked questions one after another.
Several quick-responding men immediately took out the shore emergency rope hook and threw it on the ship. By fixing the fence of the cargo ship, they quickly climbed onto the deck, preparing to get on the ship and break down.
However, the moment they boarded the deck, the boatmen were stunned.
What appeared in front of them was a series of scattered human skins everywhere.
Their scalp is numb and their backs are the best portrayal of this moment.
"What are you stupid? Why don't you fix the boat quickly?" A supervisor of the Qin family standing on the dock immediately shouted loudly.
"Die, dead people, all of them are dead."
"Hmm?" Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin looked at each other.
Even though they hadn't seen the situation on the deck yet, they felt something was wrong at this moment.
"Fix the boat, put down the wooden ladder and let us go up and take a look." Qin Feng said.
The boatmen had to do their jobs naturally when they ate the Qin family's meal. Even if they were afraid, they would still do what they did. Soon, as several heavy anchors were thrown out of the deck and fell into the water, the cargo ship immediately stabilized, and hemp ropes that were as thick as adults' wrists were thrown onto the dock.
The boatman who stayed at the dock hurriedly tied the hemp ropes to the iron rods embedded in the dock ground, so that the ship was completely controlled.
Seeing a wooden ladder made of square boards slowly lowered, Qin Feng said to Duan Hongjin: "Don't go up, just stay here and wait for me."
"Okay Master."
When he walked on the deck, Qin Feng understood why those boatmen were so panicked.
The scene in front of me is really not something that ordinary people can bear. Even as the head of the Qin family, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel chilled all over when he saw the human skin on that place and couldn't speak.
"Master, there are 23 human skins on the deck, all of which are crew members of this ship." After checking, the guard came back to report.
Qin Feng: "Where is the cabin? Have you checked it in the ship?"
"not yet."
"Go and check it out quickly."
"yes."
Looking at the human skin on the deck, Qin Feng's face was solemn.
This is the first time he has encountered such a thing after being the head of the Qin family for so many years.
Who is so cruel that he did such a cruel thing?
Water bandits? Or thieves in the ocean?
Not long after, all the guards entering the cabin came out.
"Master, there are dozens of human skins inside, apart from that..." The guard paused, hesitating whether to say anything.
"Continue talking." Qin Feng said.
"There is a room full of skinless crew corpses, but it's strange that their bodies are all stuck to the wall like paste and cannot be pried off. In addition..." The guard touched his nose and said with some helplessness: "The jade materials stored in the cabin have all turned into powder."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shocking Qin Feng to pale his face.
The reason why he came to the dock in person was because this batch of goods transported by water was too expensive.
Unexpectedly, I was worried and worried, but the worst case still happened.
"Report to the official, go and report to the official."
...
As the saying goes, there is no wind, no waves, and waves are swaying in the lake and the sea.
This incident happened to the Qin family soon spread in Qingyang City.
You can control your own mouth, but you can't control others'.
I don’t know who was the first to reveal his words, which made many people know what happened on the Qin family’s cargo ship.
Human skin, skinless and blood corpse, turned into powder jade material.
These three things are spreading more and more widely, and the more outrageous they are, and many statements soon emerged in the market.
The most recognized statement among the words was that the Qin cargo ship offended the Sea Dragon King, so Haiyasha, the subordinate of the Sea Dragon King, came to punish the crew.
It just so happened that skinning is the rumor that Haiyasha punishes fishermen.
In less than a day, this incident became increasingly mysterious and at the same time it caused a lot of controversy. Many old men and women walked to the Gusu River with various tributes, throwing things into the river, begging for forgiveness from the Sea Dragon King.
The Qin family cargo ship, the official constable, had already controlled it. Within a radius of 500 steps, no idle people were allowed to approach. Many good people stood outside the ban line and watched, but they could only see a few constables wandering back and forth on the deck.
"Captain Xing, this is not like someone is doing it."
"Xiao Liu, tell me your understanding of this matter."
"I think there must be something strange about this."
Xing Biao: "..."
Liu Xiaoliu: “…”
In the room covered with skinless blood corpses, several detectives were wearing white cloth on their faces and were searching for clues everywhere in the room.
They are all senior detectives in Qingyang City's yamen for many years, and they have seen many tragedy murders. Before, the young detectives couldn't stay in the room for long, so they had to run out and vomit.
The more times, it really affects the efficiency of case handling. Xing Biao, as the leader, asked all the old detectives to come in to investigate the case, while the new detectives went outside to guard the people and were not allowed to get close to the ship.
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the house. Xing Biao turned his head and saw Xun Sheng appear outside the door, covering his nose and mouth with a handkerchief and asking, "How is it?"
Xing Biao said: "Sir, all these blood corpses were peeled off fluently by sharp weapons. They looked very similar to the "Blood-hand Butcher" who was famous in Jiangnan back then, but it is not certain that it was his doing."
Xun Sheng asked, "How long have these people been dead?"
"The coroner is still judging, and I don't know at the moment."
Looking at the bloody red room in front of him, blood corpses stuck to the wall like spiders, Xun Sheng couldn't help but shivered and subconsciously touched the jade ring he wore on his thumb.
I can’t watch this scene for a long time. If I watch it too much, it is impossible to guarantee that I have nightmares to sleep at night.
Just as Xun Sheng was about to return to the deck, he suddenly heard a wooden board under his feet seemingly loosened slightly, but he didn't see any reaction. A bloody arm suddenly broke out from under the board and grabbed Xun Sheng's ankle.
boom!
With the emergence of a hole on the ground, Xun Sheng himself disappeared into the eyes of everyone.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
Chapter completed!
