Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 135
"My lord, I'm really sorry! There was a murder case on board. In order to prevent the murderer from attacking again, I asked the lord to take someone to the main hall of the cabin."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then someone said apologetically.

Su Yizhao glanced at Su Wenqing, Su Wenqing frowned and said: "Gu Yuan, go and have a look, we are in this cabin, we brought a lot of guards and bodyguards, so we don't need to go to the main hall."

Gu Yuanying went down and opened the door, only to see a man in charge standing outside the door.

"Your Majesty is Steward Zhou on the ship. Just now a murder occurred in the cabin not far from you. In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of this opportunity to seek wealth and murder, I would like to invite your master to take the young master to the main hall.

In addition, there happened to be a scholar on the boat. He was rushing back to his ancestral hometown for an examination, so he planned to brainstorm and catch the murderer as soon as possible, so as not to delay everyone's trip. "

Gu Yuan glanced at the person in charge, then took out the post from his pocket.

The steward's expression turned serious. Generally, posts like this are made by someone in the family who is an official.

He quickly opened it and looked, his eyes froze immediately.

"It turns out that they are the master and young master of Mr. Su's family. The villain has poor eyesight. Please forgive me for being negligent!"

The shopkeeper's sincerity and fear, his attitude became cautious.

The master of the third-rank family, how could he provoke him?
"My master is also going back to his ancestral home to catch the exam. If he docks at the shore, he will definitely delay his trip. Besides, let's not leave the cabin rashly, otherwise, if we lose valuables, how can the boatman afford it?"

Gu Yuan was tall and tall, with a stern face that carried a bit of ferocity, which frightened the shopkeeper's waist so much that he couldn't straighten up.

"We brought a lot of guards with us on this trip, and we even hired bodyguards to escort us, so we are safe and sound! Don't worry about the shopkeeper. If you need help, the shopkeeper's blunt words are fine!"

Su Wenqing walked to the door and said to the shopkeeper's amiable face.

The shopkeeper knew that the person in front of him was not easy to offend, so naturally he would not offend the official because of that scholar, so he readily agreed.

"Then master and young master be careful, if something happens, you just tell the villain." The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and then he was about to leave.

Su Yizhao hurriedly pulled Su Wenqing's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Father! Let's go and have a look too! If everyone has gone, if we don't go, it will be embarrassing."

"I think you want to join in the fun!" Su Wenqing snorted softly, then nodded in agreement.

Uncle Zhong knew that Su Yizhao was afraid of the heat, so he immediately dug out some crushed ice from the ice basin and put them into the copper pot beside him, planning to stay with Su Yizhao for a while so that she could relieve the heat.

Seeing this, Su Wenqing immediately frowned, "There's no need to do that! How can a good man be raised so delicately? There's wind on the river, where's the heat?"

"But it's a waste to put it in the cabin. It's better to take it with you. The young master doesn't have to suffer. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Uncle Zhong had already thought up his words, so Su Wenqing could only sigh. He found that Ah Zhong had a lot of fallacies now.

"Uncle Zhong is so kind to me!" Su Yizhao immediately returned a sweet smile, as if honey had been wiped on his mouth.

Zhongbo immediately beamed with joy, and felt even more pity for the young master who suffered so much since he was a child, and now he can enjoy a good life with the master, and when he returns to the mansion in the future, how can he be so comfortable?
With these words again, Su Wenqing almost rolled her eyes.

It's just a casual compliment, Ah Zhong is so useful.

When Su Wenqing and the others walked into the main hall, there was a lot of noise inside, like a frog basket turned over.

At this moment, Su Yizhao just wanted to sigh, there are so many people!Pack the hall to the brim.

Looks like everyone in the cabin is here, too!When something like this happens, whether it's panic or watching the excitement, you will come here.

I glanced at everyone's clothes, except for the thugs guarding the door, I didn't see a boatman.

At this moment, we can only seize the time to sail to the shore, and the boatman will naturally not come.

"Everyone! The murderer has not been caught yet, let's gather together to prevent the murderer from committing crimes again!"

Su Yizhao immediately turned his attention to the person who spoke. This person was standing in the past, tall, thin and slender, dressed in fine cotton cross-collar priestly robes, and was facing the crowd frequently.

Seemingly humble?Su Yizhao looked at him carefully. He had a long face and fair skin. His appearance and demeanor made him look like a scholar.

Guessing the identity of this person, it is estimated that he is the master scholar that shopkeeper Zhou said.

Su Yizhao looked around and found a man in a brown cross-neck brocade robe with a slightly excited look on his face.

"The murderer must be on the boat. I lost all the money in my house. He must have murdered for money!"

He wiped the red corners of his eyes with his sleeve as he spoke, "She lost her life just by going to the deck. If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought her back to the hometown to visit her relatives."

Seeing this, everyone chattered to comfort them.

"You don't know that such a tragedy will happen, so don't blame yourself too much. The most important thing now is to find the murderer, and I'm afraid he will wait for an opportunity to commit crimes."

A tall and strong man stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, comforting him.

Su Yizhao guessed that this man was the husband of the deceased, and the body must not be here, so it seemed that he had to find a chance to see the body.

But as the husband of the deceased, he was ruled out of suspicion so quickly?

Su Yizhao glanced around and didn't intend to go forward to ask at this moment, but stood aside and observed.

"If it is seeking money, then not only should we worry about our belongings, but also our own safety! This person is so vicious, it is not impossible to do it again!"

Someone was very worried and couldn't help touching his chest.

Su Yizhao knew without guessing that this person must have hidden the money in his bosom.

"That's right! There are still two or three hours before the ship docks. Who knows what accidents will happen during this period?"

A woman was also anxious and her face turned pale.

"Then let's bring some important belongings and gather them in the main hall. No matter how daring the murderer is, it's impossible to kill in front of so many people, right?"

The man who spoke was gorgeously dressed, and when he spoke, his outstretched fingers almost blinded Su Yizhao's eyes.

Five fingers, the thumb is a jade wrench, and the other four fingers are wearing gem gold rings, very similar to the nouveau riche in the previous life.

It is said that he murdered his life for money, but he still shows his wealth like this. Is it because he is afraid that the next target will not be able to fix him?Su Yizhao couldn't help muttering.

Su Wenqing, who was following behind him, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips. This son's lively nature brought him a lot of fun.

"If there is only one murderer, then we all gather together, and we are not afraid, but we are afraid."

An old man frowned, but Su Yizhao and Su Wenqing frowned at the unfinished words.

"What are you afraid of?" Everyone was very puzzled, and some couldn't help asking.

"In recent years, Jiang Bandits have been rampant, and there are not a few boats that have been robbed in the past. If Jiang Bandits secretly climbed onto the boat, mixed in with the crowd, and cooperated with his accomplices, even if we gather together, we will not be able to resist it!"
