[071] Bloody Disaster
When Xing Biao and others ran to the edge of the hollow, Xun Sheng had already lost his whereabouts, leaving only an empty hole.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't speak for a moment.
If something happened to Xun Sheng, it would be a big deal in Qingyang City.
"Hurry, you are here to guard it, and you will take people everywhere to look for adults. I will go back to the yamen to ask for help." Xing Biao reacted very quickly, shouted loudly and ran out of the cargo ship immediately.
After Xun Sheng had an accident, the assistants in the yamen had to come up with an idea to stabilize the morale of the army.
Xing Biao ran back to the yamen as fast as possible, and immediately told several assistant officials such as Dianshi, inspector, gate officer, tax department envoy, granary department envoy, city defense lieutenant, military defense lieutenant and other assistant officials.
When everyone heard about this, they stopped doing official business. They immediately brought a large number of people and rushed to the Gusu Wharf, striving to find Xun Sheng himself as soon as possible.
...
After Qin Feng returned to the mansion, he locked himself in the study room, and no one allowed him to go in.
Duan Hongjin was extremely worried when she was guarding the door, but she couldn't push the door in. She knew Qin Feng's personality. If someone dared to go in, it would definitely ignite Qin Feng's anger.
Thanks to the Qin family's cargo ship, the Qin Mansion was damaged by Wang Meng's door this morning but was not noticed by Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin.
Qin Yuesheng, who learned from the lower class that his parents had returned, immediately came outside the study and saw Duan Hongjin with a worried face at a glance.
"Er Niang, what happened on the wharf." Qin Yuesheng walked up to ask.
Duan Hongjin smiled and said, "It's okay, what can you do? Go and play quickly."
"Second Niang." Qin Yuesheng looked serious: "I asked seriously. I want to know what happened on the dock. If you don't want to say it, I will ask the guards who went to the dock with you. I believe they will definitely tell me."
"You kid..." Duan Hongjin sighed, and had to take Qin Yuesheng to a location far away from the study room and said softly:
"The master took the business of feeding money from a businessman in the south last month. This time, unlike in the past, the amount he could earn was very large. The master took out 4,000 taels of gold and went to Chang'an to purchase goods, intending to sell it to the southern merchant."
"Four thousand taels of gold!" Qin Yuesheng took a breath.
Four thousand taels of gold are a total of 40,000 taels of silver. For the Qin family, this is also a considerable amount.
"Didn't the cargo ship come back from Chang'an in the morning with that batch of goods? Who would have thought that all the goods were destroyed and the money...is gone."
Qin Yuesheng was speechless, and he was really not comfortable with this matter.
When a person encounters troubles, any verbal comfort is nonsense, and only substantial help can make the other person feel healed.
"What happened to the cargo ship? How could all the cargo be destroyed?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"I can't say anything about this, but it's just something wrong with that ship."
"What's wrong?" Qin Yuesheng wondered. Seeing Duan Hongjin didn't want to say anything more, he had to comfort him and take his leave first.
I found a guard guard at the dock with Qin Feng in the morning, and Qin Yuesheng learned the whole situation.
It turned out that what Duan Hongjin didn't want to say was the human skin on the deck of the ship.
The crew of the entire ship was dead, and there was no one living, and the fate was very unified and very miserable.
The Qin family had to spend a lot of money on the compensation and resettlement fees of these crew members alone.
"Human skin, skinning... will it have something to do with sneaky?" This thought suddenly popped up in Qin Yuesheng's mind.
The Qin family's affairs are his. Now the Qin family has suffered such great losses in one breath, and it has caused such an impact. As a young master of the Qin family and a member of the Seven Stars Prison, Qin Yuesheng immediately planned to go to the dock to take a look.
Currently, Qin Yuesheng has two methods to deal with sneaky and weird things.
1. The evil-suppressing sword.
2. The soul roar.
Of course, if the sneaky monsters you encounter are not evil spirits, but corpses and ghosts, then Qin Yue will have more methods to use.
Whether you hit someone or a zombie ghoul, who will beat him or not, it will feel the same when you beat him or her.
When he returned to his room and took the evil-killing knife, Qin Yuesheng called the groom and asked him to take him to the dock with him.
In broad daylight, Qin Yuesheng didn't want to use light skills to rush around the city, which was too eye-catching.
...
"Sir! Sir!"
At this time, the cargo ship was in chaos, and people were looking for the missing Lord Xun everywhere.
However, Xun Sheng was captured, as if he had evaporated from the world. No one could find him who had searched through every corner of the ship.
"Where are you going to be arrested? The ship is docked at the dock, and there are all our people outside. It is impossible for anyone to take the adults out of here. The ship is just a little bit of a mess. How come a living person is gone if he says it's gone?"
Two constables searched the bottom of the cargo ship with knives. Because of the closest to the water surface, the bottom of the cargo ship was extremely humid, and many wooden boards became moldy and soft, and a strange smell was faintly emitted from the air.
"Who knows, this kind of thing happened to this ship is already strange enough. Do you think the people or ghosts who peeled those crew members one by one?"
Crunch!
A strange movement suddenly sounded at the wooden board somewhere.
The constable who was walking in the front suddenly couldn't help but shivered and turned around and shouted, "Damn it, can you stop talking nonsense about these bad luck?"
"Just ask casually, but it won't happen..." Before this person finished speaking, he had already stopped abruptly.
I saw him staring at the top of his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Hey, who should I scare with my eyes?"
"Then, that, look at it..."
Following the direction pointed by his companion, the detective walking in front slowly turned around and saw a bloody figure slowly climbing out of the board. Every time it struggled, a pool of blood would appear on the ground.
Smooth red tentacles grew out of the blood without the wind shaking.
"Run! Why are you still stupid!"
The first detective reacted instantly, and quickly turned around and ran towards the stairs. The second detective immediately reacted when he saw his companions' behavior.
But as the two of them were acting, the blood shadow crawling out of the boat board also moved.
Swallowing!
Tentacles shot out, and in the blink of an eye, they pierced through the bodies of two constables who had not run far away. They were covered with holes and disappeared in an instant.
Blood Shadow came to the head of a constable and drilled into his body directly. He saw the man start to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a human skin.
Another constable body, under the coordination of numerous tentacles, was peeled off intact.
As dozens of tentacles condensed into a giant arm and threw it hard towards the boat board, the skinless blood corpse firmly stuck to the wall.
Swish!
The blood shadow suddenly disappeared, everything returned to its original appearance, except that there were two more human skins on the ground and a skinless blood corpse on the wall.
...
When Qin Yuesheng arrived at the dock, he found that there were many more people from the yamen here, and the location where the Qin family cargo ship was docked was firmly controlled by the detectives, and ordinary people could not rely on it at all.
"Did you notice that there seem to be more and more constables coming. There were only more than thirty people just now, but now there are almost fifty people."
"No, there were several high-ranking officials from the yamen just now, all of them got on the boat."
Qin Yuesheng asked the groom to go home first, and squeezed into the crowd himself and found a constable responsible for keeping the banned line.
"You, don't come here, non-official personnel are not allowed to approach." The constable immediately shouted when he saw that Qin Yuesheng was about to break through.
"Is the prefect here? I know him. You go and report it and he will let me in."
The constable looked at Qin Yuesheng suspiciously. How could this kid meet the prefect at a young age? Could it be that he is lying to others?
Qin Yuesheng thought it was his idea and said, "If you don't believe it, you might as well report it, otherwise you will not be able to take this responsibility if it delays the matter."
The constable thought that Qin Yuesheng's words were not unreasonable, and said, "You stay here, don't cross the ban line, I'll come when I go."
Qin Yuesheng said: "Don't forget to say to the prefect, my name is Qin Yuesheng."
...
"What do you do each one? The prefect is so big that you can throw it away just by saying that you can't? Waste, waste, waste."
The city defense captain stood on the deck and shouted angrily.
And standing in front of him were Xing Biao and a group of constables.
As the saying goes, the first level of official position is to crush people to death. In front of the city defense captain, even Xing Biao, as the head-on, could only swallow his anger and bow his head and be scolded, but he had already spoken thousands of words in his heart.
The city defense lieutenant is named Xiang Quan. He is a big and thick man. He has a black face and looks fierce. When he scolds people, he is really like a thunderbolt roar. He hears others' heads buzzing.
Dian Shi Xu Jin, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to listen, so he had to come out and smooth things over.
"Okay, OK, stop scolding, the most important thing now is to find the adult." Xu Jin asked Xing Biao: "Let me tell me what was going on at that time and how did the adult be captured."
Xing Biao looked up and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Dianshi, I really didn't see it. At that time, it was only a blink of an eye that the adults disappeared, and no one saw what was going on."
Xiang Quan touched his beard helplessly: "This matter is quite strange, it seems that he has to ask Lord Bai to come and have a look."
Xu Jin: "Mr. Bai has been out for two days. Now he doesn't even know where he is. Where do you want to go?"
"Then you can't just waste it like this. If it really doesn't work, I will go to Xiqishan Pass to find those Taoists, or go to Hanshan Temple to find those monks. There will always be someone who can..."
"Several adults, there is a young man outside who wants to meet the prefect, saying that he is acquainting the prefect." Suddenly, a constable ran up from the wooden ladder and interrupted Xiang Quan's words directly.
This guy was already in a state of irritability. When he heard someone looking for Xun Sheng and bragging about his acquaintance, he suddenly became angry: "Where did the liar from the world come from? Go and let him get out."
The constable was stunned and had to respond: "Yes, I'll go now, but sir, he said his name is Qin Yuesheng."
"Um?!"
