Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 136
Su Yizhao couldn't help looking at the old man carefully when he heard the words. He said that he was an old man, but he was actually the age of knowing his destiny. However, the ancients were already considered old when they were 50 years old.

He was wearing an indigo blue brocade robe with a round neck and dark pattern, and a Pisces pendant was tied around his waist.

He has clear eyebrows, awe-inspiring righteousness all over his body, the vertical lines between his brows and clear looking eyes show that his character is very strict.

This outfit was inconspicuous in front of the rich man in front, but Su Yizhao's eyes carefully looked at his hairpin, which was a sour branch wood cloud pattern hairpin.

Because Tang's also has one, she is often seen wearing it on her head.

This person is very low-key, but he should not be underestimated, and his identity is also unusual.

Su Wenqing turned her head to look at the old man, thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes flashed with astonishment.

When everyone heard the old man's order, they became even more flustered.

"This? What should we do? If there is a Jiang bandit on the boat, then we will die!"

The voice of the man who spoke was trembling, and his face was full of panic.

"Don't be anxious, everyone, it can't be Jiang Bandit, don't worry, everyone!" Seeing this, shopkeeper Zhou immediately explained to everyone.

"Why do you say you're not Jiang Bandit?" someone questioned.

Shopkeeper Zhou was at a loss for words, what should he say?It is said that the master pays tribute to the Jiang bandits every year, and will not do anything to his own ships?

But this matter is not visible, how can it be brought out in public?
"The thugs on our ship are very experienced. If any Jiang bandits get on the ship, they will definitely find out." Shopkeeper Zhou can only explain in this way.

"Would it be possible for you to know about being among the passengers? How could you tell if there are so many passengers on a boat?"

Everyone's questioning was not unreasonable, but shopkeeper Zhou was suffering and couldn't tell.

A bright light flashed in the old man's eyes, "Actually, this old man was just guessing, I heard that there are bandits near the Songzhi River near Macro Mansion, they only want to make money and not kill!"

"It's not okay to seek money! I brought all my belongings with me when I went back to my hometown this time. If I seek money, then I will have nothing!" A man couldn't help shouting at the old man angrily.

Su Yizhao curled his lips, and was so stupid that he revealed his old background.

Dude!Maybe the murderer is in the middle of it right now, and has already set his sights on you!

After the man yelled, he also realized that he was rich, and it happened that there was a sudden silence in the hall at this moment.

The man looked around for a week, feeling that everyone looked at him very strangely.Looking at it again, I feel that everyone is suspicious.

"Actually, all the belongings are only a few taels of silver, which is no match for these masters!"

The man pointed at the nouveau riche just now, staring straight at the other's hanging arm.

"What do you mean?" The nouveau riche just now was very dissatisfied when he saw this, he shouted angrily, and walked towards the man.

"Master Liu, let's calm down first. Now that the murderer has not been caught, let's not make any more trouble."

Shopkeeper Zhou immediately went up to stop him, thinking in his heart that he was unlucky, and it was his turn to board the boat, and such an accident happened.

Master Liu snorted coldly, but still stopped in his tracks.

Su Yizhao carefully observed the expressions of the crowd. Some showed envy and jealousy towards Mr. Liu, while others immediately moved away from the man and Mr. Liu just now, as if the murderer would target them for fear of hurting himself.

The rest of the people had helplessness and fear on their faces, and some were even sad.

"Let the boatman speed up, let's reach the shore as soon as possible, and ask the people from the government to check!"

The passengers who had previously opposed the docking of the ship no longer objected, and everyone agreed, and no one mentioned that they would delay their trip.

Seeing that everyone had no countermeasures, Su Yizhao couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Why does this scholar only let people gather in the main hall, but doesn't think about countermeasures?
"Father! The most urgent thing now is not to check the people on board first to see if there are outsiders in it?" Su Yizhao turned to Su Wenqing and said.

Su Yizhao's voice was not loud, but the old man who was not far away from them immediately turned his head and looked over.

He was a little surprised at Su Yizhao's young age, but he still walked over quickly.

"This young master is smart, not bad! But when the homicide happened just now, shopkeeper Zhou had already sent someone to check and search. If you have any opinions, young master, why don't you tell us, let's discuss it."

The old man took a look at Su Wenqing who was behind Su Yizhao, then cupped his hands and said, "After all, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, and we don't want to delay our trip and be mistaken for the murderer."

The old man's voice was not low, and everyone was attracted by his words, so they also echoed.

"That's right! This master seems to be well-informed at first glance, why not talk about countermeasures!"

Everyone thought it was Su Wenqing who offered advice, but when they saw that Su Wenqing was the son of a wealthy family and pretended to be a scholar, they also humbly asked for advice.

Um?Su Wenqing said that he didn't know anything, and didn't understand anything.

Pushing Su Yizhao, pushed her in front of everyone, said: "I have some humble opinions, you may wish to listen."

When everyone saw that Su Yizhao was still a child, they were a little dissatisfied.

"Isn't this nonsense? A child, I'm afraid he can't even recognize the words!"

Su Yizhao thought to himself: This father pushes people so skillfully, if Jiang Bandit really comes later, wouldn't he do the same?

"Hey! Everyone, please listen to what this junior said. Now it's time to brainstorm. If there is something wrong with what this junior said, just ignore it!"

Everyone heard the words and then stopped the crusade against Su Wenqing and his son, thinking that it would be no harm to listen.

"Everyone must be very familiar with your family. First of all, search your room, especially the corners and cabinets, and search carefully where you can hide. Count the number of people in your family to see if there is any difference. No matter Whether it is too much or too little, you must report to Shopkeeper Zhou."

Everyone nodded immediately when they heard the words, and the scholar just said: "Indeed! If the Jiang Bandit is hiding, maybe he will hide in the cabin."

"Shopkeeper Zhou, you need to count the number of boatmen and thugs immediately. Are you familiar with these people? If there are strange faces mixed in, you must carefully question them."

Shopkeeper Zhou solemnly agreed, this matter is no small matter.

"In addition, search for places on the boat that can be hidden as soon as possible. Including around the boat, use bamboo wormwood to sweep around the side of the boat. The Jiang bandits are familiar with water, and may hide in the water not far from the boat."

After shopkeeper Zhou wrote it down, he immediately ordered someone to do it.

"Everyone, please do these two things immediately! In order to ensure your safety, and to prevent people from cooperating with each other, you can find neighbors to be companions and search for each other."

Su Yizhao asked Shopkeeper Zhou to light incense again, "Everyone, there is only one stick of incense time, so you must gather in the main hall. If anyone fails to come, there will be danger after the order is placed."
