Waiting for news somewhere, the wealthy housekeeper learned from the spies that there was an explosion on the river last night.

The people who were guarding the shore at that time heard such a loud explosion and couldn't tell whether it was their people's ship that exploded or the other party's ship that was caused by their people.

After daybreak and the heavy fog passed, their men discovered some driftwood on the river.

The spy didn't know the situation, and was afraid that the steward would be anxious if he waited too long, so he reported the rest first.

When the steward heard the news, he was worried for an hour or two because the person sent by the other party had not returned yet.

The person they invited hasn't come to receive the reward yet, and the leader hasn't come to see him yet. He has a bad feeling...!

"Go and have a look!"

The steward was riding in a carriage, led by the coachman, to a dock. In order to prevent his identity from being recognized, he did not get off the carriage. After all, it was daytime.

He appeared in this place, more than 1,000 miles away from Kyoto. If someone knew about it, and some teams knew about it, they would definitely get involved with him.

The steward discovered something strange in the opened carriage door curtain, except that the person he invited was on a carriage in the dark, watching the salvage on the river.

It seems that I saw a suspicious person. Suddenly, there were more carriages like him in this dock.

There are many boats on the riverside, ready to go to the location of the explosion last night to find out.

From here, we can't even see which side of the river the ship that exploded belongs to.

What kind of ship does the burnt wood belong to?

They can only wait and wait for news of their return.

An hour passed, and some ships that went to explore returned. Who did these people belong to?

The person in charge didn't know. He only knew that the person he sent had not returned yet.

There was a carriage not far away, and there was a man with a gloomy face sitting in it. After hearing the report from his subordinate, he almost killed the subordinate.

Even though so many people were sent out last night, they didn't stop or kidnap the other party.

It was their ship that exploded. It was unclear what kind of explosive was used. The charred wood had been washed by the sea water and there was a faint smell of sulfur.

Their people fell into the river after the explosion and were unable to be fished out in time. After an hour or two, they may have been injured by the explosion and fainted, and then fell into the river without anyone to save them.

They just sank into the river, but their bodies actually floated up.

Of the dozens of men, not a single one came back alive.

The man had an angry face and a dark and violent temper. He had been out in the world for so long and he had never failed in a mission.

This time, they failed in one mission after another. The first time was at the inn. Although they started fighting with others, they did not suffer any loss.

It's just that the task was not completed and the person was lost.

The second mission failed, and the arrows fired were actually dreaming about themselves again.

Based on the lesson learned last time, their team must not have fired arrows this time. What kind of items exploded?

Firecrackers? This kind of item can only hurt people at close range. It doesn't have such a big explosive power at all.

Everyone who went on the mission died, and even if I tried to find someone to ask why, I couldn't find anyone.

I only know that the fog was too heavy last night. People on the riverside couldn't see clearly. Why did the ships in the river explode?

The other party's ship has now disappeared.

Did they also become dead fish in this explosion, or did they escape elsewhere?

The men with gloomy faces were unwilling to do so. They were hired by the other party before, and as killers, they must kill the other party.

At this moment, I thought that with so many casualties among their people, the other party might not have even hurt a single hair.

I know that if I go out to fool around, I will have to pay it back sooner or later.

This kind of repayment is too shameful.

The man with a gloomy face sent out his men and asked them to continue searching in the river and be sure to find the other party.

He cannot relax on land either. He wants to eat the opponent's bones and scrape the opponent's flesh.

The shadowy man sent his men again to ask the steward to follow him back. This time, another person died and items were destroyed. Of course, the person who sought their help would have to pay for their settlement.

The person in charge has not returned yet. When the leader of this organization asked him to go back, he must have the final answer as to whose ship exploded.

The two carriages left the horse head. There were individual spies following the horse head, and some spies already knew the situation and reported to their team.

The place where it happened is more than 1,000 miles away from Jindu. These people are also members of some of their teams. They have been tracking it for the past few days, and then reported it when they got clues.

There are quite a few messenger characters used for this.

The manager came to the place where he lived just now, which was his secret liaison office, and the killer leader also came with him?

After they entered, they asked their men to guard the door while they chatted secretly inside.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Hmph. Our opponent is very powerful, but the chips you gave us are not enough."

"Could it be that the exploding ship belongs to you?" The steward showed a surprised expression.

"Yes, everyone is dead. This is what you said, an ordinary follower? The chips given are not enough, and the settlement fee will be increased."

The man's gloomy expression didn't look like he was joking.

The steward was so stunned that he didn't speak for a long time. He really didn't expect that an old steward's subordinates would be tricked by them in previous years, which made them very embarrassed. Although the items could be safely delivered outside the customs, the skin would not peel off.

.

This year, I didn’t expect it at all. I hired a killer, just to make it bigger. After all, the emperor’s son was also involved, and I didn’t want the old housekeeper to see Mr. Ye and know that he had a son.

.

I don’t even want to meet the old general’s granddaughter.

I didn't expect that stealing chicken would end up losing rice. They lost so much and the other party didn't get a single hair from them. Now they don't know where the other party has gone.

Someone was following the old housekeeper's men, but also lost them.

"Have you encountered a ghost? Have you sent people to continue to investigate?"

"Of course, as long as you give me enough money, I will definitely find them and kill them all."

The dark-faced man spoke viciously, but the manager did not refute.

If their mission fails, they must write a letter to report to their master.

Ye Haoxuan, the eldest son of Yongbohou Mansion, received a letter from his subordinates, and the content in the letter made him silent.

He took this letter to find Prince 13.

13 In the study room of the prince's palace, Ye Haoxuan read the letter to him. After reading the letter, he thought about it silently.

"13Prince, do you want us to send out to rescue people?"

"How to save? You can't even find the whereabouts of the other party. Their people were only following a boat. This boat even caused someone's defeat."

"Prince 13, can you guess who the killer is?"

"Don't you have to think about it? No wonder some people say you are stupid. Besides me, you are just those brothers! Anyway, you are not my prince."

Ye Haoxuan was not annoyed by the ridicule in the 13th prince's words. What worried him most at the moment was the little girl.
