Chapter 25 Watching
There were three roosters crowing. A lot of things happened yesterday. Everyone was in a state of great anxiety. There were all kinds of noises early in the morning. The coffin shop and the shrine point called cars early in the morning, transporting coffins and paper money out in a car.
These had nothing to do with Ye Bei and the others because they were leaving. Zhang San went to buy a boat ticket early in the morning. Finally, Zhao Hu discussed with the people from Zhaojia Village, and only he, Zhao Jiaqiang, Zhao Liujin and the other two continued to enter the city, and the others took ten taels of silver to go back first.
The others didn't want to go into the city, so they went back happily, and they also said that Ye Bei was really a capable person. Although they didn't know why Zhang San had to pay, it must be Ye Bei's credit. After all, Ye Bei had been communicating with Zhang San yesterday, and it must be his credit.
"Then let's go back first."
"Remember to tell grandpa that we are fine and reassure him." Zhao Hu was determined to enter the city and make a fortune. He didn't believe he would lose to Ye Bei.
"knew."
A few people brought dry food with them, and they left without even being able to leave. They were eager to return home. It has been so hard to sleep in the open these days, so how could they be at home? I don’t know if there is a way out when I get to the city, so now I feel like I’m knocked out by happiness when I go home. They can’t wait.
The few people who stayed had to wait for the ship and continue to go south to Tonghai City.
"Tonghai City is the largest city in the south, more prosperous than the northern city. However, when the international city is back, I will introduce you to work, so don't worry." Zhang San's big bag, he still has some connections in Tonghai City, otherwise he would not have the nickname "Little Chao Fengye".
The group was waiting for the ship. Nowadays, public transportation in this era is not on time. Although I bought a boat ticket in the morning, it is possible to wait until noon.
The ship does not depart from Hongji Town, but will dock at the port for half an hour. It is considered "on-time" to leave before dusk today.
"They are going to run away." Ye Bei didn't know that the few of them had been targeted by the local detectives.
"What are you running? Do you have the ability to catch them?" Although the middle-aged captain knew that these people were related to the strange things that happened in Hongjia Village yesterday, he really hoped that 'it was better to have less than more things', and it would be best for them to leave quickly.
Yesterday, one incident was that the defeated soldiers died collectively, and one incident was that the fire in Hongjia Village was a fire. At that time, there were constables in Hongjia Village. They all discovered Ye Bei, a group of foreigners, and they also knew that before the small fireball appeared, these foreigners entered the village. Afterwards, although they were scared by the fireball, Ye Bei and his group were still listed as suspects afterwards.
Hongji Town is not big, with only one ninth yamen and a few small constables. Although the captain found the suspect in the port, his eyesight was so vicious that he could tell at a glance that these people were not ordinary people.
"But as soon as they entered the village, a fireball appeared. Maybe they set the fire in Hongjia Village."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" the headmaster scolded.
The little detective shook his head. Of course, he would not see it with his own eyes. Everyone present was frightened by the strange fireball. They all said it was a ghost fire and had no idea what happened afterwards.
"I didn't see that even the official could not convict him. The Northern Dynasties had been destroyed for ten years. Now it is the new government, and we must pay attention to evidence when handling cases." The captain didn't want to cause trouble at all. These people were definitely not the ones who set fire, because some people witnessed that they had just arrived in Hongji Town yesterday morning and had no time to set fire. But they must have something to do with ghost fire. They can come out of the surround of ghost fire, but they are probably Qigong masters.
"This is not the one we can mess with, we all carry a knife." Judging from the long rituals, there must be weapons inside. The captain is even more sure that they are Qigong masters. These days, Qigong masters are equated with despairers. Even though they know that there is the "Abandoned Gong Order", they still dare to practice Qigong. That is to openly provoke the laws of the new country, and they are not afraid of people who lose their heads.
"Remember, it's best to go around and avoid causing trouble when you meet such people in the future." The captain gave a lesson to several subordinates so that they would not know how to live or die.
"But didn't Shangguan ask us to solve the case?"
"Shangguan will understand." The captain said that he would be embarrassed if he really arrested people. Maybe they would go to the news in two days: Qigong masters have slaughtered the yamen in Hongji Town, and no one survived.
They are the ones that "no one survives".
"Then we won't arrest people now, why are we waiting here?"
The captain said: "We have to watch them get on the boat and watch them leave so that we can feel at ease."
The young detective felt that the captain was too timid, but he did not dare to object, so he could only wait at the dock. But after a while, he started again: "Will Shangguan present these two cases? Will the superior send a special task force?"
"I don't know, I'm not Shangguan, so how did he think." Although the captain said that, he knew in his heart that this case was about to be submitted. However, although the Xin Kingdom overthrew the Northern Dynasties, the Jiuzhou Continent was too chaotic, and I don't know if the superiors would pay attention to it.
There are seven marshals in the Jiuzhou continent, which are actually seven powerful warlords; there are also four lords, who are the core rulers of the new country. Tonghai City is a city under the control of the new country's government and is accepted by the orders of the four lords.
Although the Seven Marshals apparently recognized the new country of the four princes, in fact, the Seven Marshals listened to the tune and did not listen to the Xuan, and were the local emperors.
Seven states in the Jiuzhou were controlled by warlords, and the four princes only had the actual control of two states. Jiuzhou is now a mess and has been completely divided by the great powers.
Today is a major change that has not been seen in the Jiuzhou Continent in four thousand years.
It is impossible for the superiors to pay attention to small places like Hongji Town.
The constables hid in the dark and waited for Ye Bei and the others to leave. Ye Bei was really looking forward to the ship coming soon, and he also wanted to arrive at Tonghai City as soon as possible.
"When I get home, I will change your clothes first." Zhang San is really loyal and has thought about everything. In short, they want to make them feel at home.
"Thank you then." Ye Bei was not polite. They really needed the help of locals when they first came to Baodi. At this time, there was no need to be pretentious.
"No need to thank you, it's just a small task." Zhang San didn't care at all: "You are all capable people, and you will definitely be able to show your strength in Tonghai City. Maybe I will be the one who will be able to stand up to you."
Zhao Hu thought that he likes to listen to these words, and he will definitely make a name for himself. At that time, he will definitely surpass Ye Bei, a young man.
Ye Bei didn't know that Zhao Hu wanted to overwhelm him openly and secretly. He was thinking about how to make a living in Tonghai City. As a time traveler, he had too many ideas to come to another world, so many that he didn't know how to implement it.
And now there is no burden on Zhaojia Village, so he doesn’t have to rush to make money: “Do you want to go to school?” School is the best way to understand world common sense and mainstream ideology.
