The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 49 Water Ghost Water Ghost (please vote for me)

Gu Shinwei glanced at Wu Jiang, she was talking too much.

Zhao Kuo was able to replace the veteran Lian Po as the head coach with the reputation of his old father Ma Fujun, and Wu Jiang was able to run rampant in Bianjing with the help of his uncle Fu Yin.

This sounds harsh, but it is the truth.

Gu Shenwei thought as he led the maroon horse for a walk and then back to the Yong'an River.

The river was deserted at the moment, not to mention the boats, not even a duck in sight.

Wu Jiang stretched his neck and looked again and again, and asked curiously, "Gu family, what are we doing here, aren't we going to check for the person hiding in the water?"

Gu Shinwei shook his head, "Just wait patiently."

Wu Jiang didn't know why, but looking at Gu Shiwei who was leaning against the willow tree with his eyes closed to rest, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.He broke off a willow branch from the tree and concentrated on picking up the "coffin soil" on his boots!

When the mud on his shoes was almost gone, the sound of water came from the distance, and then a bamboo raft appeared in sight.

The boatman supporting the bamboo raft, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, gradually became clear in the mist on the river in the early morning, like a landscape painting that made people calm.

"You can't do it right now, but you can do it later. Let me ask the guest, does the Eight Diagrams belong to Yin or Yang?"

Gu Shiwei let go of the maroon horse's reins and touched its head, "Go wait for me at home and let Shili give you candy."

The horse snorted, flicked its tail, and ran away without looking back.

Gu Shiwei didn't even look at it, and floated gently onto the bamboo raft, "It belongs to Yang."

The Yang of Liu Yang.

Gu Shiwei couldn't help but think highly of Liu Yang. If this kid didn't take the imperial examination and serve as an official, he might not be able to secretly control Bianjing in the future.

What a genius!

When Wu Jiang saw the boatman about to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "Wait for me, wait for me!"

As he spoke, he put on his boots, tied the horse by the bridge, and then jumped onto the bamboo raft. The moment he came up, the bamboo raft drafted heavily, and the water covered the bamboo raft. Gu Shiwei He jumped up slightly and stood on the bamboo raft again the moment it floated to avoid getting his shoes and socks wet.

When the boatman saw the two of them boarding the boat, he let out a strange scream at the top of his lungs, and then silently propped up the bamboo raft.

The bamboo raft floated down the current. It was a wide river channel that Gu Shiwei was familiar with before. After a while, it turned into a reed swamp, twisting and turning, and got into a narrow channel.

The water here is so clear that you can see the bottom. Standing on the bamboo raft, you can clearly see the fish and transparent shrimp swimming inside.

On both sides of the river, there were many women washing clothes with mallets. When they saw Gu Shiwei, who was wearing the robe of the Imperial City Secretary, he raised his head and quickly lowered it.When the boatman saw this, he just said, "We will dock soon."

"I didn't expect there to be a place like this in Bianjing City?"

When the boatman heard Wu Jiang's doubts, he shook his head and said, "Official officials usually don't come this way. It's normal for you two not to know."

"This place is not isolated from the world. It is in the south of the city near the city wall. You can walk in, but it is faster to take the waterway. You two followed me closely. There are people from three religions and nine schools here. Take a good look. If you lose your money bag, the old man won’t be able to find it."

Gu Shiwei nodded. She only had a few coins dangling in her pocket, and her purse could fly up with a gust of wind. There was no such worry at all.It would be great if the thief could steal her pear candy.

When Wu Jiang heard this, he laughed and said, "What should I do? If I was still in the army and lost it, it would be considered as if I invited my brothers to drink and eat meat! But now I am a promotion official in Kaifeng Prefecture. If it is stolen, It seems a bit embarrassing that we can’t find out who stole it!”

It's okay to lose money, but the disgraced old man can beat him with an iron broom!

The old boatman found a stone step, walked to the shore and led the two of them ashore.Different from the wide road by the Yong'an River that can accommodate three or four carriages traveling side by side, the road here is extremely narrow. Two people have to go sideways to pass at the same time, let alone walking on a carriage.

The narrow road is surrounded by canals and is filled with short houses of different heights. The winding path spreads out in all directions, looking like a huge spider web.

"Most of the people living here are poor people. There are those who help carry sandbags at the dock, there are also the idle horsemen, the washing women, and the children who have been selected as slaves by others. When you see the house, don't forget To trespass."

"It's a wonder that the whole family only has one pair of pants, and the one wearing it is wearing it, and the one inside is still naked!"

As the boatman spoke, he took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and threw these things on the bamboo raft floating in the water.

He was wearing a short jacket made of coarse cloth. Looking at Mo, he was about 60 or [-] years old. His beard was already gray, and his whole body was lean and dark.

"If you two adults don't mind, you can call me Lao Qi. I heard that person say that you want to find a water ghost. We do have a group of waves coming from the south here. Not to mention the white stripes in the waves, there are Recovering corpses from the river in search of treasure is a first-class expert."

"There is no one in charge of this place, and everyone is doing anything. I can't say who is a good person, and I can't say who is a bad person. They are all servants who work hard for a few big boys. Just give the old man a reed stick at the Yong'an River. , I can also lie down."

"I don't know if there is a famine in this Southland. A few days ago, the canal was transporting grain down, and those idle men went to the dock to carry grain packages and made a lot of money. There was a rattling sound in this pocket, and there was nothing. A mother-in-law is in charge, so they can just have fun."

The old man said and stopped.

He pointed to the well under the locust tree in front, "Go down from there and you can find the person you are looking for. The old man is one of them. If you have to walk in this land in the future, you don't dare to do anything wrong." Absolutely."

As he spoke, he opened his palms to Gu Shiwei unceremoniously.

Gu Shiwei was about to touch the money bag when Wu Jiang quickly took out a ten-tael silver ingot and placed it in the palm of the old boatman's hand.

The old boatman's eyes were instantly brighter than the fireworks on the Lantern Festival. He put the silver into his pocket at lightning speed and looked at Wujiang up and down. Although he did not speak, Gu Shiwei swore that he was thinking You must be thinking where did you come from?

God give me one, no, a pair!No, a dozen please!
Wu Jiang didn't realize anything was wrong at all. He chuckled and stretched out his hand to pat the old man. However, the man still had the leisurely and elegant demeanor of the old man with a white beard. He seemed to have oiled the soles of his feet and disappeared in an instant. In that intricate alley.

Wu Jiang's hand froze in mid-air, "Well, I just want to ask what's next? So I'm prepared. Why did this person run away?"

Gu Shiwei glanced at him with hatred, patted the big boys in his pocket, "I'm afraid you might suddenly stop being stupid, so I would run away if it were me."

As she spoke, she walked towards the well angrily. When she looked around, she saw that the well was not a well, but an entrance with a ladder.

"You should be more alert. I don't know what the situation is underground. If it is very narrow, it will be difficult for us to use our martial arts. The old man did not say it clearly, but there are many desperadoes with blood on their hands in this kind of place."

Wu Jiang was shocked, "How do you know? Since there is blood on your hands, why do the officials..."

Gu Shiwei interrupted Wu Jiang's question and jumped down from the mouth of the well.
