Murong Yuan, who had been busy all night, was not until dawn, and he simply lay on the table to prepare for a moment of rest. While he was half asleep and half awake, he heard the sound of busy footsteps and yelling screams of pissing off the hall. Hearing the sound, it turned out to be his father-in-law Xie Cheng.

In amazement, Murong Yuan's sleepiness disappeared. He stood up and sat up. He happened to see Xie Cheng rushing in with his robe. Xie Cheng is the head of the Xie family. He is the person who pays attention to appearance and posture the most. At this moment, he has no image at all. His face is a little distorted and his face is red. The boots are creaking. It is obvious that water is in. The lower half of the pants is almost wet.

Murong Yuan's heart immediately sank. If he could make his father-in-law look like this, something must have happened. And this time Xie Cheng came to Wuzhou for only one thing, that is, the steam textile factory.

Something happened to the steam engine! Almost instantly, Murong Yuan came to this conclusion.

"Son-in-law, it's not good!" Xie Cheng almost rushed to Murong Yuan's case, poked his upper body out, and shouted with a ferocious face.

"Is there something wrong with the steam engine?" Murong Yuan forced himself to calm down and glanced at the government officials who were following Xie Cheng.

"It's gone, it's gone!" Xie Cheng was a little incoherent.

"What's gone?"

"The machine, even the boats are gone." Xie Cheng finally breathed evenly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and the thing he was most worried about finally appeared. The machines and ships naturally would not disappear for no reason. They could only be stolen or stolen.

"Where are the people on the boat? Aren't you all good at Xie's family guarding the boat?" Murong Yuan asked while walking out of the big case.

"A level 8 master, with two level 6 masters and some guards, but who knew that they were gone." Xie Chengdao.

"Go, go to the dock." Murong Yuan walked out and said as he walked: "The arresting room, the armed police officer followed me immediately, and immediately notified the National Security Bureau to go to the dock. It was a ship, not a toy, and they couldn't run much far."

When Murong Yuan walked out of the government gate, horses were already prepared outside, and the constables and armed police officers had gathered in place. Without saying much, Murong Yuan turned over and galloped towards the Wuzhou River Wharf.

The river docks in Wuzhou are basically the same as those in the other docks in the four counties in Jiangnan. They are the most prosperous places in a state. A large number of silk textiles are coming out from here, and a large number of grain and daily necessities are transported in from here, so the docks here are extremely large. In ordinary seasons, dozens of merchant ships are generally docked on the docks, and it seems that they will never decrease between entering and leaving.

Once such a river dock is depressed, it basically means that there is a big problem in the local economy. When Murong Yuan appeared at the river dock, he found that the National Security Bureau had already arrived one step earlier than him. The entire dock had been martial law, and the National Security Bureau personnel in black uniforms were all over the dock.

"County Governor." Seeing Murong Yuan appear, Xiao Kui, who was standing next to the dock, strode over.

"General Xiao, what's the situation now?" Murong Yuan asked.

"After we got the news, we quickly arrived here and blocked the scene. Now our people are searching for the scene. No matter who did it, they will always leave clues. The geese leave their voices, the people leave their names, and it is impossible to leave any traces without leaving any traces." Xiao Kui said.

"I want to know where those three machines are the most now?" Murong Yuan said a little annoyed, "General Xiao also knows that it has been more than a day or two for the people of Qi to covet steam engines. I'm afraid this matter will be unrelated to them."

"Of course they did it." Xiao Kui nodded and looked at Xie Cheng behind Murong Yuan: "Is it the head of the Xie family?"

"General Xiao, it's Xie Cheng." Xie Cheng didn't dare to hold on in front of Xiao Kui and said with his fists.

"I heard that the owner of the Xie family bought this batch of machines to build a textile factory with local silk merchant Xu Fu?" Xiao Kui asked.

"Yes, after completion, it will become the largest textile factory in the four counties in Jiangnan." Xie Chengdao.

"I have sent someone to invite Xu Fu. After he comes, I will ask the head of the Xie family and Xu Fu to go back with me. Some things need to be verified with you." Xiao Kui said.

Xie Cheng was a little dissatisfied. Did he treat himself as a prisoner? But before he could speak, Murong Yuan on the side said, "This is what it should be. It is a big deal and he will never be neglected."

Xiao Kui smiled and bowed to Xie Cheng, "It's time for the head of Xie family." Xie Cheng was Murong Yuan's father-in-law after all, and he had contact with the Empress. Xiao Kui wouldn't really consider Xie Chengru to interrogate him as an ordinary person. He seemed to randomly ask about some of the details of Xie Cheng's business.

As he was talking, a noise came from afar, mixed with the shouts of the National Security Bureau personnel, "Finished, found."

The three of them looked up at the same time, then rushed towards a corner of the dock where goods were piled up.

The thick felt cloth was uncovered, and the blood had long solidified in the middle of the sacks. Looking at the ferocious corpses, Xie Cheng immediately surged up and down in his stomach and almost vomited out.

Murong Yuan and Xiao Kui stared at the Guoan staff without blinking and moved the bodies out one by one, lined up on the dock. One of them was used to being alive and dead, and the other began to be the officials during the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Chu. The corpses they had seen were even more desolate than this, and they were completely unmoved.

Squatting down, Murong Yuan reached out and pressed a dead body, looking at Xiao Kui who was doing the same movements with a serious expression: "The time to die is at the latest around midnight last night."

"Kill with one blow." Xiao Kui let out a sigh of relief: "Zhou Lihua, a well-known level eight martial arts master in Chu, is famous for his fast sword, and he even has a smooth reaction time. He was killed before he even pulled out the sword. The person who killed him is at least a level nine master or a master." When talking about the word "master", Xiao Kui's voice was a little astringent.

The two stood up and looked at the national security personnel who were questioning the owners of the goods. The man was shouting Qu, his goods were piled up here, and who knew that the world would suffer a disaster.

Murong Yuan walked to the river silently, looked down at the waves and gently patted the stone embankment, and said for a while: "General Xiao, I took action in the middle of the night last night, I'm afraid I'm about to reach Suojiang Pass now."

His voice suddenly became louder: "Pirates appeared in our Wuzhou and attacked Yangquan, not for no reason. They wanted to go to Suojiang Pass and go out of the river and into the sea. Pirates attacked Yangquan, which was just a trick."

"A man from Suojiang Pass blocks the Pass, there are hundreds of soldiers guarding it. It is not easy for the other party to take it down." Xiao Kui said.

"Don't forget, they may have a master, and those pirates who came ashore were afraid that the real target of attack was Suojiang Pass, not Yangquan." After saying this, Murong Yuan turned around and left.

"Come here, inform Deng Yuanping that the whole army gathers and follow me to Suojiang Pass."

"Mr. Murong County Magistrate, I'll go too." Xiao Kui knew that the matter was urgent and rushed to catch up. "There are a few fifty hawks in the National Security Bureau here, so it's worth fighting."

"Okay!" Murong Yuan didn't say much, and the two of them turned over and galloped backward. Compared to what was happening on the dock, it was obviously more important to intercept the ship equipped with a steam engine heading towards Suojiang Pass.

Half an hour later, all fifty black-clothed eagle falcons and a thousand soldiers from Tianwu Camp left behind in the county town were assembled. What was beyond Xiao Kui's surprise was that Murong Yuan, who came out of the county government, was covered in all his clothes. Behind him, there were twenty warriors wearing armor and swords. Several of them were also known to him, and they were all servants who followed Murong Yuan.

"These people were given to me by my father." Murong Yuan whispered: "All of them are powerful players on the battlefield."

"That's good." Xiao Kui was overjoyed. How could Murong Hai's personal bodyguard for his son have poor combat power? He was not afraid of facing the Qi army. What he was worried about was that if there was really a master in the Qi army's team, it would be troublesome. With these people and the army, it would be impossible to fight.

Seeing Murong Yuan preparing to ride a horse away, Xie Cheng was a little anxious and grabbed Murong Yuan's reins: "Murrong, you are a civil servant. It is enough to leave such a thing to General Deng Yuanping and General Xiao Kui."

Murong Yuan shook the reins of the horse and got rid of Xie Cheng's hand. "Father-in-law, don't forget Murong Yuan's origin. He was on a horse and carried a sword to fight. Murong Yuan has never left him over the years. As a county magistrate, Murong has made such a big mistake, how dare he not lead by example?"

Looking at Murong Yuan and his group of people galloping away, Xie Cheng stomped his feet hard, turned around and looked at the guards behind him, and said angrily: "What are you still here? Why don't you catch up and protect your son-in-law? If your son-in-law loses a hair, I'll ask you."

A group of people made a loud noise, followed by the sound of horse hooves, and then another group of people turned over and galloped to chase Murong Yuan and others.

Above the river, a merchant ship was walking in the wind. Although it was against the wind, it was downstream and was not slow. Moreover, the merchant ship made by the Ming Guobaoqing Shipyard itself uses the power system of a warship, which requires not much manpower, but it is extremely fast. On the bow of the ship, Xu Fu and Jiang Tong stood side by side, both of which were full of magic.

"Master Jiang, is there really no problem with Suojiang Pass?" Xu Fu asked.

"Don't worry, Boss Xu, when we arrive, Suojiang Pass will definitely be a smooth road. Once you pass Suojiang Pass, you will be free of worries. You, just wait to go to Daqi to enjoy your happiness."
