The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 937 Strange official ship!

Under Li Qingmu's suggestion, Ouyue and Liu Ran'er became sworn sisters with different surnames. This little girl's temperament is very popular with her, she is a person who dares to be daring to hate, and after the sworn relationship, the relationship became closer.

"Sister Yue'er, who are you guys? I see that my brother-in-law is very good at kung fu, and the rogues he killed have no power to fight back. Can he teach me?"

Liu Ran'er asked sweetly while holding Ouyue's arm.

Ozuki scratched her nose with her finger: "You, let's forget it, practicing martial arts is a very hard work, besides, you are too old, your bones have hardened, and it is difficult to learn."

"Really? I didn't want to be as powerful as him, just teach me a few tricks to defend myself." Liu Ran'er giggled and said, "Maybe I will have a chance to protect you, sister in the future."

"Your brother-in-law will protect me well. Anyone who dares to harm me, he will dare to beat the other party all over the place."

Liu Ran'er didn't believe it, and deliberately asked angrily: "What if it's the current emperor? Does he dare to fight?"

"Dare, why don't you dare, besides, if you give the emperor a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

This word reached the ears of Qi Jingyu who was walking in front, and he could only smile wryly, thinking how could the emperor's aunt do this, why did she tell that little girl everything, don't I, the emperor, have no face?

On the other hand, Fang Shijie pestered Li Qingmu for advice on kung fu, which annoyed Li Qingmu terribly, but in order to help Qi Jingyu train talents, he could only explain to him impatiently.

Only Qi Jingyu was alone and had no one to talk to.

The five returned to Yunzhou City and found an inn to stay temporarily, planning to check the people's conditions here first.

Although Yunzhou City is considered a prosperous place within the borders of the Great Zhou Kingdom, there are many hidden problems. There is a canal here that connects the five cities and twelve states in the southeast, and it is also the starting point of the water transport wharf. There are many conflicts of interests involved in it. deep.

This is the real first stop of Qi Jingyu's private visit on Weibo. As long as he has a clear understanding of the situation in Yunzhou, he can go straight down and know the situation in most of the southeast.

As for the southwestern region, it has always been relatively stable with Aunt Huang's grandfather sitting in town.

The inn they chose happened to be close to the pier, and they could see the boats coming and going on the canal when they opened the windows. Qi Jingyu didn't like living in the same room with others, so he asked for a room by himself.

Followed by Li Qingmu and Lu Yue, the two of them naturally want to live together, and then Fang Shijie and Liu Ran'er can't get along with each other, so they can only live in a room alone.

Standing by the window, Qi Jingyu's attention was drawn to an official ship with the flag of the Water Transport Office. The draft of this ship was so deep that it was almost below the ship's side. into the cabin.

This is second, the point is that although the people on board are wearing official uniforms with the word brave printed on their chests, they exude the reckless aura of Jianghu people.

Five or six of them were sitting on the deck playing dice, drinking and laughing, and there was still dried blood on the plain knife next to them, which aroused Qi Jingyu's suspicion, and he decided to go on board to have a look.

As an official ship, it's okay to not be strict with its subordinates, but there is still blood on the knife. Could it be that he just killed someone?

Qi Jingyu jumped directly from the window, looked at the stone arch bridge in front of him, ran away, and finally jumped onto the ship when the official water transport ship passed under the bridge.

The ship was huge, and the officers and soldiers on board didn't notice that outsiders had sneaked in. The shouts from the bow deck were still so harsh, Qi Jingyu took out his dagger, and touched the cabin against the wall.

There were two guards in the cabin, but the two of them ate some food and wine, and they didn't seem to take their duties seriously at all, even Qi Jingyu sneaked in and didn't notice.

The wooden boxes were stacked neatly inside the cabin. Qi Jingyu used a dagger to pry open the top one, and found that all the boxes inside were fine iron powder.

This kind of iron powder can be directly used to cast weapons, but the casting of weapons is not in the southeast, but in the weapon workshop of the Ministry of Industry not far from the capital. How could refined iron be transported to the southeast along the canal?

Qi Jingyu casually grabbed a handful of fine iron powder and put it in a sachet, and was about to go back to the shore to investigate the matter thoroughly. Unexpectedly, one of the two guards who were drinking just now came here to take the wine jar, and happened to find it through the gap in the wooden ladder. Qi Jingyu hiding behind.

Seeing Qi Jingyu's gaze, this person screamed in fright, but Qi Jingyu was faster, and before he was about to scream, he grabbed his neck with one hand.

But after the man was stuck in the neck, he kicked a wine jar to the ground and smashed it with a bang.

The wine spilled all over the floor, and another guard asked drunkenly, "What's the matter with you? You've been drunk like this with only half a jar of wine? We'll stay on the ship for more than a month. Don't waste your wine."

He came staggeringly, Qi Jingyu had no choice but to kill the guard under his control with a dagger, but just as the knife pierced his abdomen, it was suddenly blocked by something, making a muffled bang.

Another guard heard the sound, and at this time the short guard under Qi Jingyu's control also struggled, and was soon discovered by his companions.

The tall guard was stunned for two seconds, and then he took out a bamboo whistle and blew vigorously!
The sharp whistle immediately penetrated the deck and was heard by the people above. A group of people who were playing dice just now rushed into the cabin and blocked Qi Jingyu inside.

These dozen or so people were not difficult for Qi Jingyu to deal with, he quickly broke through the siege, leaving only two survivors.

These two people were the leaders of the ship, they knelt on the ground and shouted tremblingly: "Master, please forgive me, please forgive me, please!"

Perhaps it was Qi Jingyu's killing spree that frightened the two of them, a puddle of yellow liquid flowed from where they were kneeling, making Qi Jingyu frown.

He held a simple knife on the neck of one of the bearded men, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, where is this ship going? Where does the fine iron powder on board come from?"

These refined iron powders are not iron ore circulating in the market, but refined iron powder obtained by preliminary purification of iron ore, which cannot be bought in the market at all, and has been held in the hands of the Ministry of Industry.

The bearded man stammered and said, "I... I don't know, we are just following orders to drive this boat to Huguang, and there will be someone to meet us when we get there."

"Whose order?" Qi Jingyu frowned tightly. He didn't expect that they would dare to steal the fine iron powder exclusively owned by the imperial court. If this kind of thing is allowed to continue, how much deterrent power will the imperial court have left?

Unexpectedly, just as the bearded man was about to speak, a feathered arrow flew over from nowhere and just hit the bearded man's neck. He made a suffocating sound from his throat, struggled for a while, and then fell to the ground.
