Road edge float

Chapter 87: Chapter 87
Tan Xiangying pointed to this river and said: "This is where the boat sank, it was split in two, and it sank very fast, the impact of broken logs and the whirlpool of the sinking ship, few people escaped even those with good water quality. Those who survived by chance were also seriously injured, and some of them are still awake.”

Lu Bozhong frowned, and said: "Looking at it this way, I must not be able to see why. It's better to go into the water." After finishing speaking, Lu Bozhong's seemingly vulnerable old body jumped into the water with a bang. In the water, it disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.

A circle of silvery white light lingered around Xia Pingsheng's body, forming an airtight sphere, which surrounded him and sank into the water.

Yan Kaiting, Fu Mingxuan, and Tan Xiangying, who had already been in the water, waited quietly on the bank. At this moment, Tan Xiangying suddenly looked at Yan Kaiting, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. Tiredness, with a hint of it. Please?

"If I can find special materials, would Tiangong Kaiwu be willing to help me with this?"

Yan Kaiting pondered for a moment, but did not answer for a while.

Although he is also very curious, who would want to do it with such a special batch of goods.However, taking this job is not a trivial matter, not to mention whether it will delay Tiangong Kaiwu's own schedule, intervening in this matter, it is like wading into that quagmire, who knows how deep the water behind it is.

Especially when the name of the behemoth Yuanhuimen came out, Yan Kaiting could tell that even Fu Mingxuan was a little concerned.

"Well, since Master Xia has already intervened at this time, it's not me who has the final say. Although I am the head of the family, I am still a little younger after all."

Yan Kaiting scratched his head, not feeling that there was anything wrong with showing weakness.

Hearing this, Tan Xiangying knew that it would be useless to say it, and he let out another long sigh in his heart.At this moment, he really hoped that Yan Kaiting was just a dude, and that he wouldn't be as slippery as he is now, pushing things away completely, and blocking most of the possibilities like this.

He thought about it carefully, sorted out the ins and outs of the incident countless times, and finally felt that he was tricked by some people from the Yanyue Sect.If he is asked to find that person, it can be said that the master sect or the alliance's face.

At this moment, Xia Pingsheng and Lu Bozhong came out of the water together, and when they landed on the ground, the white air around Xia Pingsheng dissipated, and his whole body was in the same state as when he entered the water. His clothes were neat and there was not a single drop of water on his hair.Compared with Xia Pingsheng, under the raging river bottom, Lu Bozhong's silver hair and white beard are covered with crystal water drops.

Lu Bozhong's stewards hurriedly handed him a windbreaker. When Lu Bozhong saw Xia Pingsheng, he couldn't help sighing: "I'm old, I'm really old, hey."

"How is it? Did Elder Lu see it?"

Tan Xiangying asked quickly.

Lu Bozhong let out a long sigh, then gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see who is our Yanyue Sect, who is so courageous!"

Lu Bozhong is so experienced, and he is very familiar with his own sect and relationship workshop. He has seen the doubts that Xiangying and the others can find out, and he can be sure about the things that they are not sure about. .The wreckage of the underwater cargo ship was indeed a mess, but he couldn't figure it out, who would have the audacity to do such a thing, and who would treat others as fools, thinking that this matter would not be exposed?

Or did the person behind the scenes find a scapegoat?Thinking of this, Lu Bozhong's inquisitive eyes swept towards Yan Kaiting again.It's a pity that something went wrong with the scapegoat part, and now things can't be covered.

Lu Bozhong thought about the process of the door, and there were only a few links that would go wrong.

Originally, after receiving the goods from the benevolent craftsman, they passed through his hands. At that time, he was ordered by the head to unpack and inspect the goods, and there were no problems.Speaking of Yanyue Zongmen and benevolent craftsmen who have cooperated for many years, he can be completely assured of the quality and quantity of this batch of goods.

When the time comes, the goods will naturally be sent out, but Lu Bozhong can't even do this kind of link himself, and the matter of taking the ship will be handled by the disciples and stewards below.Originally, it was not difficult to deliver the goods, as it has always been done in the past.

As for the protection of the cargo ship, because most of the waterways are above the black water, that is the territory of Tan Xiangying, and he is a peripheral force that has recently been included in the sect, so everything is logical.

It wasn't until after the ship sank and the cargo was lost that Tan Xiangying went through several twists and turns before he wanted to check the traces of the underwater shipwreck. With his decades of experience in sailing, he naturally saw something wrong. , I dared to believe it, so I realized that it was not simple behind this matter.

Not to mention that what he thought was ordinary cargo was actually extremely precious. After investigating the entire shipwreck area, whether it was even loaded onto the ship was another matter.Now Tan Xiangying only felt that he had entered the muddy water of the main sect, and he didn't know if he could get out, but at present, the situation seemed to be a little clearer.

"Elder Lu, Tan said something you don't like to hear, you should go back to Yanyue Sect and check all the stewards in charge of delivery, maybe you can find out something else?"

Tan Xiangying said that it seemed that he was quite sure that the problem was caused by the Yanyue Sect itself.

Lu Bozhong didn't get angry this time, he pondered for a while, and said: "I don't think this matter is that simple. If the disciples of the sect have no other reasons, how can they be so bold, most likely there are outsiders who have a foot in it."

Tan Xiangying thought for a while and said, "Outsiders? Not necessarily. Is it..." He raised his head and pointed to the sky, and said, "Is it quiet up there recently?"

Lu Bozhong didn't speak for a while, he knew that the conversation should be suspicious and someone from Yuanhuimen intervened, in fact, this idea also flashed in his mind.But he has been in the sect for a long time, he is not as open-mouthed as this thief leader, and there are outsiders present beside him, so he can't speak to death.

Xia Pingsheng was on the side, and said coldly: "Anyway, we have already involved in this matter, and now you have your own opinions, so you should take care of it yourself. Next, no matter how the noble family investigates, if you still If you want to take advantage of the Yan Mansion, then don't blame me, Xia, for being rude!"

Hearing this, Lu Bozhong couldn't help frowning.Everyone knew that if the investigation by the Yanyue Sect failed, sooner or later they would be sued in the area. Xia Pingsheng said this to stay out of the matter.It was true, but in front of the Yanyue Sect, a non-monk workshop spoke so hard, and he hadn't encountered it for many years.

Lu Bozhong was about to speak, but Tan Xiangying winked at him.

After Xia Pingsheng left with Yan Kaiting and Fu Mingxuan, Tan Xiang Yingcai explained his wink just now, and said, "Elder Lu, it's a troubled time, so let's not make another strong enemy. Xia Pingsheng and I have fought each other before." , although this person is also a real person, but I will lose ten moves under his hands. Even if it is the Yanyue Sect, the head and the grand elders must be alarmed, right?"

Lu Bozhong's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, he left a "farewell" and disappeared with a few stewards.

By the Heishui River, Yundu goes to the stockade.

Xiang Yao, who was dressed in a feather coat, stood in front of the woman in a light shirt, with a cold expression, not at all the pampering look she had when facing Linxi.

"Master, I have arranged everything according to your instructions. Blood Spear and Yun Duxing are inseparable. If they want to do business in front of the sect, they have to be used by us."

The woman in the colorful light shirt is the seductive woman who greeted Yan Kaiting and others just now. At this time, she did not have the flirtatious look just now, but knelt down respectfully in front of Xiang Yao.

"Yun Du Xing? What do we want Yun Du Xing to do in Huashen Temple? What we want is the strange fire of the Yan family! Only by breaking or replacing Yan Kaiting's blood contract can we get the ground fire."

Xiang Yao looked at her, chuckled lightly, and said, "Although you and Linxi are both my disciples, Linxi was born with stronger talent than you, and he took the lead in the way of cultivation. Being strict with you as a teacher is also for my sake. Hello."

"You don't want to waste all the hard work that the teacher has done for you."

The woman in the flower-colored light shirt froze, and her face turned slightly red. She couldn't tell whether she was inspired or guilty, and replied softly, "Thank you, Master, I understand."

After finishing speaking, he waved Yao Yuyi, bringing up a gust of wind, and the person disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The woman kneeling on the ground stood up slowly, looking at the Heishui River outside Yunduxing, which was shining in the moonlight, her expression became more and more gloomy.

In Yujing Yan Mansion, Yan Kaiting had just returned to the yard, before she could sit still, Dieyi hurried over with her skirt in her hands.

"Master! Master! It's not good, then Li Liang may have an accident!"

Yan Kaiting took a sip of tea and almost choked in his throat, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter, speak slowly, don't scare me."

"Hey, Dieyi didn't intend to scare you! Just now, the young lady of Li Liang's family came to the house and said that Li Liang hadn't come home for many days, and she didn't care about her. Could it be that there is someone outside? The slave's house I thought to myself, didn't Li Liang run home after saying that his wife was sick, but felt that something was wrong with this matter, so he prevaricated the little lady, saying that Li Liang had recently been under the command of the master. Things have to be done. What do you think is the next step in this matter?"

Yan Kaiting was startled, pondered for a while, and said, "How many days has Li Liang been gone?"

Dieyi thought for a moment, and replied: "It's been about four days. The night you went to Weiqing for a banquet, you said you were going home."

Yan Kaiting hurriedly asked again: "How did he know that his wife was ill? What did his wife ask someone to bring to him?"

"Oh, isn't it? A little servant boy came to the door and said that someone outside the mansion had passed on his wife's words. Li Liang ran out as soon as he heard it, and when he came back, he hurriedly shouted that his wife had a fever." It's just that I want to go home, I found out from his wife, it seems that his wife didn't say that."

Yan Kaiting was startled suddenly, in such a weird situation, Li Liang might have followed other people's tricks.It's just that although Li Liang has the title of head of entourage, except for a higher monthly rate, he has no real power in the craftsman's mansion. Who would deal with such a person?
Li Liang's character is bullying and flattering in the eyes of outsiders. He is just a follower who arranges food, drink and entertainment, and has no expertise related to the management of the craftsman's mansion and the manufacture of utensils.

Yan Kaiting put him by his side. Firstly, although the other party had various faults, he was loyal and careless in handling things. In addition, in the turmoil of Yan's mansion, there were no truly talented people around.

After doing the math, Li Liang is actually the person who has been with him for the longest time.After so many years, even raising a cat has made me feel emotional.

Yan Kaiting said in a deep voice: "That little servant boy, who do you still remember?"

Seeing that Yan Kaiting's face was extremely ugly, Dieyi quickly said: "Remember, remember, it's under a steward in the east, so I'll call someone in."

Yan Kaiting sat on the spot for a few breaths, then stood up impatiently, clenching his fists and looking towards a direction in the mansion, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

If Li Liang had no enemies himself, then don't think too much, it must have something to do with Hu Donglai and his group.But what do they want from Li Liang?At the moment when he was picked to go to Weiqing, Yan Kaiting suddenly had a foreboding feeling in his heart.

After a while, Dieyi led the little servant boy to the yard.

"Quick, tell Master Yan quickly, what happened that day? Oh, don't cry!"

That servant is still young, so he can only enter and leave the backyard.At this moment, seeing Yan Kaiting looking like he was going to eat people, he was trembling with fright, the more frightened he became, the less he could speak, and finally began to cry.

"Who told you to pass the message that day?" Yan Kaiting eased his expression, and didn't want to embarrass the children who were working in the house too much.

"Returning to Master." The little servant boy sniffed and said, "When I was on duty by the east gate, a sister came and asked me to pass the message."
