Outside Linze City.

On the river outside the fishing village.

Medium-sized fishing boats are already the largest fishing boats in small fishing villages.

There is no comparison with the new warships under Luo Xingchen's command.

It can be said that a new warship can easily smash a hundred and eighty fishing boats into a pile of wooden debris with just one touch.

The power of fishing boats is neither sails nor the latest steam engines, but human-powered oars.

The people responsible for paddling are A Xi and A Yuan. Both sisters are quite capable. If you don’t look at their faces and only look at their backs, they have quite the temperament of a fisherman girl.

"Sir, I feel that the murderer may not be the same person." Mo Anbai sat on the bow of the boat and said slowly.

"Judging from the technique, how many people will do it together?"

"There were about three or four people. The distinction was not very clear. Some of the techniques were different, but maybe they were performed by the same person."

"Are you sure there is no Grandmaster?"

"No, sir, if there were, I wouldn't dare to go."

Mo Anbai said.

"I looked at those people, they looked sallow and thin, and they looked like they hadn't had enough to eat for a long time. No matter what the reason, the murderer killed so many ordinary people, it was simply crazy."

Luo Xingchen's eyes flashed with coldness.

No one wants to see something like this happen.

But now that it has happened, he wants to seek justice for the people. This is the most basic conscience of a normal human being.

"Sir, it should not be far from the place where the body was dumped," Mo Anbai said.

"How did you know that?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Those corpses went straight down the river. If they were far away, then the fishing villages in front had already fished out the corpses, and it was unlikely that they would continue to float downstream." Mo Anbai said.

"What will happen if we let them drift downstream?" Luo Xingchen said.

"The government will arrest all villagers who have seen floating corpses along the way..." Mo Anbai pursed his lips.

"Does the government still dare to kill all the villagers? There are probably tens of thousands of fishermen along the way." Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes.

No matter how crazy the government was, how could they dare to kill tens of thousands of fishermen?

"It is true that the government will not kill fishermen, but they will extort money and make the fishermen pay money to buy a kind of coupon called atonement coupon."

"Those fishermen who are relatively well-off will have most of their money stolen by the atonement coupons. Some particularly poor fishermen will even be sold by their entire families." Mo Anbai sighed.

"A harsh government is as fierce as a tiger. It seems that the government in Linze City has reached a point where it can no longer survive without rectification. Miss Bai, I will write a letter and have it sent to the capital as soon as possible, so that the emperor can send someone to Linze City to handle matters here."

Luo Xingchen said.

"Okay, Master, I still have a way." Mo Anbai's lips curved.

"Sister, there is a big ship ahead!" Suddenly, A Yuan shouted loudly.

In fact, she didn't need to say anything, both Mo Anbai and Luo Xingchen saw the big ship in front of them.

The ship was very tall, with many patterns carved on the hull, and the cabin looked like a three-story pavilion with lanterns hanging on the eaves. It looked like a cruise ship belonging to a wealthy family.

"The murderer has something to do with that ship!" Mo Anbai's eyes suddenly tightened.

"Are we getting close?" Luo Xingchen asked.

He didn't ask why Mo Anbai concluded that the murderer was related to the ship.

That's an obvious thing.

Hundreds of corpses floated down from upstream. If they floated down from above, would the cruise ship not see them?

Will you turn a blind eye if you see it?

Neither is possible.

The most likely possibility is that those corpses were killed by people on the ship!

"Don't go near it, it's too dangerous."

After learning that it was such a big ship, Mo Anbai changed his mind.

"Axi, Ayuan, please move the bow of the boat, let it go around the big ship, and continue to go upstream." Mo Anbai said.

"good!"

A Yuan and A Xi worked hard together to slightly change the direction of the ship, and it happened to pass sideways by the big ship.

On a big ship.

Standing on the side is a young man wearing a brocade robe with a lazy expression and holding a folding fan in his hand.

Beside him, a charming woman peeled off the skin of a grape with her fingers and stuffed the grape flesh into the young man's mouth.

Behind the young man, stood two swordsmen in their thirties.

Their faces are as sharp and angular as marble carvings, their finger joints are also very prominent, and their temples are high, showing that they have deep skills.

"Master Long, look at the man on that boat..." The woman smiled coquettishly and pointed to the side with her hand.

"What's wrong with that man?" Master Long raised his eyebrows, enjoying the delicious juice of Western Region grapes in his mouth.

"That man looks like a dog." Chu Xue laughed so hard that her branches trembled.

"Well, yes, it does look like a dog!"

Master Long took a careful look and saw a man standing at the bow of the boat with a stooped back and a bunch of pockmarks on the side of his face, and nodded.

"No, that ship came from downstream."

Master Long's eyes suddenly narrowed, he moved his palms, closed the folding fan in his palm, and hit it on the railing along the side of the boat with a snap.

"Haoyangqing, go take a look and ask them what they saw!" Master Long said coldly.

"Yes, Master."

A swordsman behind him responded.

Soon, he got off the boat from the side, came to the edge, and stepped on a small boat tied to the side of the big ship.

Haoyangqing picked up the wood pulp and pushed hard, and the boat flew forward like an arrow from the string.

Seeing the wooden boat in front of me getting closer and closer.

Haoyangqing stepped hard on the boat with his soles. With the recoil of the boat's upward bounce, he fully exercised his Qing Gong. His whole figure looked like a big bird, spreading its wings and leaping into the air.

It just landed on the deck of the fishing boat ahead.

He glanced at the hunched man standing on the deck and said coldly: "Are you fishermen coming from downstream?"

While asking questions, he glanced at the cabin.

He saw three women in the cabin. They all had yellow and thin faces, and their faces were covered with pockmarks. They looked like they were sick.

"Ahem, yes, sir, we are all fishermen. Among them are my three younger sisters. They got a strange disease a few days ago. I was thinking of rowing a boat and going to the city to see a doctor for our younger sisters." The pockmarked face.

The man coughed twice.

"Did you see anything special along the way?" Haoyangqing asked.

"I've seen..." the pockmarked man coughed, "cough cough!"

"What?" Haoyangqing raised his voice.

"Sir, your boat is very beautiful," said the pockmarked man.

"Okay, you go quickly."

After asking this, Haoyangqing thought that was enough. He waved his hand, and then Haoyangqing covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves in disgust.

Then, he turned around and left, still in a hurry.
