Chapter 431 Qingzhou Sea Ghost Case 1
Even if Yan Mo worked hard, it still took five days to reach the worst-hit town in Qingzhou.

Because it is near the sea, this town is called Hailin Town. The whole town is almost submerged by sea water, only the roofs or half of the buildings can be exposed from those slightly tall buildings.

Yan Mo can only reach the high slope outside the town by riding a horse, and he has to use a small boat to enter the town.

A few days passed, and the whole town was empty except for a mess.

Yan Mo turned his horse's head and headed towards the prefecture of Qingzhou. If he wanted to know the details of the disaster, it was the best choice.

However, before she arrived at the government office, she heard the common people talking, saying that Mr. Qian, the former Zhizhou, was washed away by the sea in order to save people, and now there is no one in charge, which caused the first batch of disaster relief funds that just arrived in Qingzhou to be delayed. It can be enabled, and some people guess that someone must be corrupt.

In order to obtain more accurate information, Yan Mo listened to the discussions all the way and arrived near the government office. However, looking around, the front of the government office was full of people in distress.
Yan Mo bypassed the crowd, and finally picked the side of the mansion. The place was full of trees, and the people could not gather together. She took advantage of the trees and flew into the mansion, just in time to meet a figure!
She turned around quickly, went around behind the opponent, held down the opponent's saber so that he could not draw the sword, and at the same time issued a cry of threat!
"The people are suffering, how can you turn them away?!"

"Who is so bold? How dare to trespass on the government office?!"

The official inspected the mansion because he was afraid that someone would climb a tree and come in, but he did not expect to meet him!

"The common people are displaced and homeless, you are good! Steal the relief money, hide in the mansion and enjoy yourself!"

"Is the heroine fighting for the common people's injustice with the sword?" The officer sniffed his nose, lowered his sharp tone, looked at his withered waist and said, "The heroine doesn't know anything, we gave out the supplies that can be rescued by the government early. Adults love the people like children, we dare not neglect. As for the disaster relief money"

"What happened to the relief money?!"

The official said: "Three days ago, we were blocked by the people, and no one came to pick up the relief money. Normally, the official who escorted the silver would wait for us. I don't know what happened. When someone of us finally went out to meet, the silver and the silver guard The officials are gone, there is no blood stains at the scene, they seem to have disappeared out of thin air.
My lord has explained before my life that the common people should not feel that there is no hope, so I kept this matter a secret first, but who knows, my lord went to save people in person the next day, and I never returned. Now that my lord is gone, we are also without a leader, and I don’t know what to do Alright, woooo disaster relief money, none of us have seen it, woooooo." He said, thinking of Mr. Qian, he started to cry sadly
"How did Lord Qian die? And when did he die?"

"Woooo. It was the early morning two days ago. At that time, it was only dawn. We were guarding the shore, and another team of people guarded Sir. Who knows. They were swallowed by the sea together with Sir."

"Where are you on the shore?" Yan Mo felt that this statement was a bit weird.

"We are guarding the shallow water area of ​​Hailin Town. Your Excellency will borrow the ship of the Shipbuilding Department to personally lead people to rescue."

When the "Shibo Secretary" mentioned this, Yan Mo didn't have a good impression, "Where are their corpses?"

"It was all washed away by the sea and we didn't see anyone"

Yan Mo: "What about the refugees rescued by the adults? Did they see what happened?"

"My lord saved people and let them board another boat, and rowed away. I didn't see Wuwu. Someone said that my lord was hooked by sea ghosts. This flood is caused by sea ghosts. Yinzi is afraid." He was also eaten by sea ghosts, what a pity for such a good parent."

"." Yan Mo looked at the other party's shriveled waist and abdomen. She didn't want to embarrass the official, but seeing that the other party was still crying, she secretly withdrew her weeping and went straight to the backyard.

After some searching, it turns out that there is indeed not much food stored in the government office, and there is no trace of a large amount of silver, and what we see is a bit plain and barren
After leaving the government office, Yan Mo rode straight to Qingzhou Shipping Department. As Mingzhou and Qingzhou are the largest maritime trade gateways in the southeast of the Central Plains, the Shipping Department is very important.

Sure enough, when she arrived, she found that the Shibo Division was heavily guarded by soldiers!
The people and refugees who passed by would at most take a look at it from a distance, and no one dared to approach it.

"Old man!" Yan Mo quietly stopped a person to ask, "Why is the front of the Shibo Division so heavily guarded?"

"Miss, I don't know. There are a lot of valuables stored in the Shibo Division. All kinds of goods from overseas are worth thousands of gold. The Shibo Division is afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos and rob it, so it has called officers and soldiers to guard it."

Yan Mo: "What kind of soldiers are these?"

"Qingzhou Navy."

"Thank you, old man." Yan Mo said as he took out a bag of money on his body and stuffed it quietly into the other party's arms, "Take it and buy some rice noodles."

"." Seeing the other party's generosity, the old man was so happy that he burst into tears, but his face was also full of sorrow, "Hey, even if you have money, you can't buy food."

"Where's the grain depot in the city?" Yan Mo asked with a frown.

"Many days have passed. The grain depot has been emptied. How can we live?"

Yan Mo helplessly watched the old man who was still wiping tears go away, feeling in his heart, now that the government is paralyzed, and the relief money is missing, the life of the people will only make life worse. Was Mr. Qian deliberately concealing it for the people or for himself?

And the front of Shibosi is heavily guarded, is it for those treasures or has other plans?
Just when she was worrying about how to investigate Shibo, she happened to see a group of people slowly approaching with goods.

The wagon made a creaking sound, which showed the weight of the cargo. However, when Yan Mo saw the white particles falling from the wagon, he instantly became furious!

Because those grains are exactly white rice.

"Quick! Check the goods, and quickly clean up the things on the ground, it will be troublesome if people see it!"

The thin-faced official who went out to meet him was careful. He saw the rice grains on the ground and hurried to get them cleaned up. He looked around very vigilantly before bringing cart after cart of goods into the department.

"The Secretary of Shibo actually hoards rice grains privately!"

Yan Mo's expression turned cold, and he hid from everyone's sight and found a place where he could continue to observe and wait until night fell, so that he could enter it and investigate carefully.

However, before night fell, she learned another piece of news from a passerby.

The newly appointed Master Yun, the magistrate of Qingzhou, just arrived at the border of the state and county this morning, and suddenly disappeared!

I heard that this Yun Da was handsome and had a pregnant concubine by his side, so he was very easy to identify.

However, when passers-by were rushing to tell each other, one of them didn't pay attention, and the two disappeared inexplicably!
After Yan Mo listened carefully, when he was thinking about it, he saw movement in the Shibo Department.

A group of people quietly took the goods out of the back door one after another, all the way east.

Yan Mo followed secretly, wanting to see where the goods were going
Due to the flooding of sea water in the east, the pier moved inland, and the cargo arrived at the temporary pier within a short time.

The temporary pier is very simple, but the ships moored in the distance are not simple.Because of the water level, these goods need to be transported in batches by small boats one box at a time.

Yan Mo observed to find out what the cargo was, but before she could act, a group of pirates who had been ambushing early rushed out from all directions and surrounded the officers and soldiers!
at the same time!The pirates in ambush in the water were well-versed in their actions. After controlling the small boats in batches, they pushed people into the sea and prepared to board the big ship with their cargo!

The big ship has long been under the control of the pirate leader. Seeing that the situation has settled, he bundled the captured sailors together and put them into the small boat. Boat baby and floor boat.

The few sailors who followed could barely save those who fell into the water, and protected those officials and officials to escape in embarrassment!
Yan Mo didn't want to pay attention to the pirates. After all, she was more concerned about whether there was rice in the Shibo Department to meet the urgent needs of the people in the city. However, as a few small boats wandered out, she couldn't take her eyes off.

The man and woman who were tied up on the small boat belonging to the pirates looked like Master Yun and his concubine in the mouths of the common people!
At this time, Yan Mo remembered the goodness of the guards of the palace. She was suffering from being unable to separate herself, so she hesitated and chose to rescue Lord Yun first!
The flags were fluttering on the building boat, Yan Mo took advantage of inadvertently and jumped onto the boat, hiding behind a box of goods, as the boat approached, she used the flags to cover it, and finally boarded the building boat smoothly!

"Hurry up! The Qingzhou Navy will be here soon! Hurry up and set sail!"

"Quick, quick! Bring them in!!"

After a close operation, the pirates guarded the area, and then sailed slowly after anchoring.

Yan Mo searched for a blind spot and just hid it, when he heard the younger brothers in the past discussing
"Brother, everyone has been caught, why are they still alive?"

"Master Yun is a bargaining chip. If we are accidentally chased by the navy, we can exchange the lives of both of them! Be careful, especially that concubine, who has two lives. It would be best to threaten the navy with her! "

"The little one understands, the little one understands!" The younger brother nodded again and again, muttering in his heart, there is not even a woman on board, how can they take care of pregnant women?
The sea breeze was cold, and the building boat set out in a hurry but had a clear direction. About half an hour later, the building boat approached a half cliff and was about to drop anchor.

Yan Mo sneaked his head out and looked towards the half-cliff, and saw about twenty people going down the lowered rope ladder to board the boat, some of them were wearing masks, some were leading slaves on chains, and some Holding a mysterious box, I don't know what's inside
Seeing the attitude of those pirate boys, I think this group of people are their regular customers.

Yan Mo looked at the sky, probably the end of time, the building boat picked up the customers and continued southward.

This building ship is roughly divided into two buildings. Customers boarded the ship and went to the second floor of the main building, while the pirates could only stay on the board, and the auxiliary building was the camp for the pirate leader and his brothers.

Yan Mo avoided the pirates and roughly figured out the distribution of the floors. Only the first floor of the main building was not easy to sneak in to check, because the first floor was full of guarded pirates.

Out of helplessness, she found a corner and quietly stretched herself up to the second floor!As long as she gets the mask and dresses up, she can move freely!

In order to make the clients live comfortably, there are obviously fewer guards on the second floor of the main building.

Yan Mo took a sneak peek at the pirates on the board, quietly turned over to the roof of the floor, and walked forward!As soon as she saw a gap, she turned over and checked the cabins of those customers.

Huang Tian paid off, she came and went again and again, and she found an unlocked cabin, and the owner in it seemed to be absent.

Yan Mo quietly inspected the cabin through the cover of the curtains and beams. When she saw the mask and outfit on the bed, she turned over vigilantly on the spot, picked up her things and was about to leave, but was blown away by a strong palm wind. Stagger!
"I haven't seen my concubine for so many days, I miss you so much~"

As soon as Qi Ming changed into his plain clothes, he saw the bait hooked on him, and he took the bait with his hands, smiling.

"!" Only then did Yan Mo realize that the mask was used to seduce her!

"Why are you here? No! How do you know I'm on this ship?!"

"I didn't expect that I could feel your inner strength breath as soon as I boarded the boat~" Qi Ming's smile deepened, he let go of his weeping with one move, and rolled over on the bed with his arms around him!

"!" Yan Mo kicked Cang Qigou onto the bed with his long legs. At the same time, he turned over and pressed Qi Ming directly under him. She glared and said, "What time is it, the prince is in a good mood!"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, doesn't my concubine miss me?" Qi Ming said softly and wanted to peck him lightly, but he received only a ruthless palm!
Yan Mo rubbed Qi Ming's chin with the heel of his palm: "I don't want to, I don't want to at all! It's important! I saw the pirates captured Master Yun and his concubine, but I don't know where they are being held."

"Master Yun?" Qi Ming caressed the opponent's arm and moved it up, squeezed Yan Mo's hand against his own and held it on his heart, slightly surprised, but his eyes were always staring at the opponent's outline, as if not I care very much.

"." The familiar embrace and the bright starry eyes made Yan Mo's heart flutter, and it took her a while to return to God, "Not only that, the relief money is gone, and the suffering people in Qingzhou gathered in front of the government office, and they can only wait to live." starve"

"Relief money, as expected," Qi Ming's tone was serious, but his expression was extremely provocative, "Where there is money, there must be moths~"

"Didn't you come to Qingzhou for disaster relief money?" Yan Mo squinted his eyes, always feeling that the other party was selling medicine in his gourd.
"Of course this king is here for the princess~"

Qi Ming said with a smile, the black mole under his lips moved, a soft satin robe and loose black hair, the whole person against the majestic sunlight shining into the room, looked dazzling, making Yan Mo's heart flutter again!
"Heh~" Qi Ming smiled lowly, picked up the mask and put it on the other party as if it was not for fun, and as his middle finger slid across Yan Mo's smooth profile, he moved his thumb, caressed the other party's red lips and rubbed them back and forth, It seems to be waiting for something.
Since the departure of Tianmu Mountain, I haven't seen him for many days.

At first she couldn't see it, but Yan Mo devoted all her attention to the flood, but now that she saw it, the thoughts hidden deep in her heart would be ready to move, making her feel unbearable and breathing faster!

The blazing heat from her lips was like a torch, igniting every nerve of hers!And the glowing and jade-reflected skin in front of my eyes seems to be shining through, and it will be broken by blowing
Yan Mo had unconsciously caressed Qi Ming's brow bone, tapped the corners of the other's eyes and cheekbones with her fingertips, and slid her five fingers. Earlobe, soft and glutinous, icy and cool
Because of this, Qi Ming's cheeks were red and the roots of his ears were red.
The breaths of the two are getting closer and faster, and when they are about to entangle, suddenly!

Qi Ming lifted the quilt to cover Cang Qi and at the same time pushed Yan Mo away, and when he stood up, he helped him steady again!
Just when Yan Mo was so surprised that he was stunned, there was a knocking sound outside the door.

Qi Ming calmed down and took a big step!He didn't want outsiders to see Yan Mo's obsequiousness remaining between his brows!
"." Hearing someone coming from outside the door, Yan Mo reacted promptly, and immediately put away all distracting thoughts.

"Is my home available?"

"Cough cough! Come in." Seeing that Qi Ming took the initiative to move out of the way, Yan Mo swung his arms and pulled up the aura of being in charge!

The visitor was dressed in a thick satin robe, and his gestures and gestures were full of etiquette. He didn't look like a pirate.

"Haha~ I didn't expect that the head of the Ying family is actually a hero of the female school." The person who came said shifted his gaze and looked at another person in the room, "I don't know that the Ying family came here in person this time and brought a lady with him."

Wearing a mask, Yan Mo naturally became a customer. Presumably the other party had never seen this "responsible family", so she had a lot of room to play, after all, she had been the head of the family for more than ten years.

"Hmph! My male slave has been very arrogant recently," Yan Mo said in a contemptuous tone, "Look, can he be sold for a good price with his beauty?"

"Hehe~ I should be joking, this male slave looks magnificent, is the master really willing?" The visitor secretly observed the two people in front of him while talking.
"Of course those who are disobedient will be willing!" Yan Mogao said coldly.

"The head of the family is surrounded by beautiful men, so naturally he is willing to be a small student." Qi Ming closed his eyes, and cooperated with wit and affection, the reluctance and grievance revealed in his eyes, it really makes people feel pity.

"Xiaosheng is just so angry. The master hasn't shown up for a few days. He must be in the arms of some vixen and refuses to leave!"

Fox vixen? !

Yan Mo stared at Qi Ming in disbelief, after all, the fox was talking about himself!
"Oh, I didn't expect this male slave to have deep affection for his family."

This scene, in the eyes of others, looks like flirting.

The visitor quietly took away his sizing eyes, took out a list from his pocket and said: "This is all the commodities in this transaction. If you like it, I will definitely keep it early." He said He looked very well aware, and looked at the two in front of him with a smile, realizing that he had come at the wrong time.

Yan Mo took the order and watched the man go away. After a long time, he asked.

"Who is this person?"

As the disguise receded, Qi Ming's tone was cold: "Yu Zhi's clan brother, Yu Xi."

　The episode is a bit broken, the summer vacation is a bit busy, and I always like to make trouble when I improvise, so the whole process is a bit slow (Yun laughs sadly).

　　Thank you Canglang for your tireless vote.
