Boss Lu replied, "Yes, there are two boatmen patrolling the boat every night, one working in the middle of the night and the other working the night. They usually take over at the worst time."

"Then invite them over."

After a while, two boatmen arrived.

One is named Zhang San and the other is named Li Si.

Both of them are not very tall, but have strong bodies. Zhang San looks humble and flattering, while Li Si looks fearful.

Huaixiu saluted the two of them, making them nod and bow in fright.

"Did you see anything when you patrolled the boat last night? Did you hear anything?"

Li Si replied respectfully, "In the first half of the night when I was patrolling, I saw nothing but four scholars drinking at the bow of the boat. When I heard someone singing, babbling, they didn't sing for long.

I didn't take it to heart, and then at midnight, the wind started blowing on the boat. The younger one reminded a few of the soldiers to go back to the cabin. When they saw them leaving, the younger one went back and asked Zhang San to take over."

Huaixiu looked at Zhang San again, and Zhang San shook his head vigorously, "I didn't hear anything, and I didn't see anything. I even went to the bow of the boat twice." After that, he had a drink.

belch.

Boss Lu was so angry that he really wanted to beat him in public, "You didn't even see such a big man hanging? You must have gone drinking somewhere, don't think I don't know."

Zhang San's face turned red and she stammered, "No, no, the little one just leaned against the stern of the boat and slept for a while... I didn't expect someone to hang himself..."

Boss Lu was furious and apologized to Zhu Yu, "It's all my fault that the common people don't discipline themselves well. If they had been more careful, this wouldn't have happened." Zhu Yu didn't mean to blame him. The boatmen worked very hard during the day.

, it is inevitable to be careless at night, and only reminded Boss Lu to be more vigilant.

Boss Lu said yes repeatedly.

Zhu Yu asked Huaixiu again, "Where will Miss Li start next?"

Huaixiu didn't expect that he would ask himself first. He paused for a moment and then said, "The theater troupe."

"Go and invite the class leader." Zhu Yu ordered Xiaofeng again.

After Boss Lu and the boatman left, Team Leader Zhang came over sweating, knelt down in front of Zhu Yu, and kowtowed, "The common people have been wronged."

Zhu Yu said, "I haven't convicted you. Why are you wronged? You should stand up and speak."

Leader Zhang stood up tremblingly. Zhu Yu looked at Huaixiu and signaled that she could ask questions.

Huaixiu only had two questions: When was the last time he saw Xiaolou? Who did Xiaolou come into contact with on the ship?

Leader Zhang answered one by one, and Zhu Yu also asked his attendants to record them.

In this way, everyone in the troupe answered these two questions separately, but the answers were almost the same.

The last time I saw Xiaolou was when we all had dinner together. Except for people from the theater troupe, I never saw Xiaolou alone with anyone else.

When it was Mingyu's turn, he answered in the same way.

"You lied." Unexpectedly, Liang Min pointed it out on the spot, "A female disciple said that Xiaolou came to see you before going to bed."

Mingyu was very surprised, "She didn't come to look for me. I haven't seen her since dinner."

Liang Min frowned, "Usually after dinner, you ask Xiaolou to practice for an hour, why didn't you do it last night?"

Mingyu shook her head, "I'm strict with her because she has talent. She is very likely to become the number one Qingyi in Jiangnan. Because she has made great progress recently, and it is really inconvenient to be on the boat, so I let her take care of herself."

rest."

"You let her have a good rest? Yesterday, someone heard you scolding her." Liang Min continued to ask.

Mingyu said bitterly, "I scolded her because she is too pushy and haste makes waste."

Liang Min snorted coldly, "You mean everyone has misunderstood you?"

Mingyu looked lost, "Let them say whatever they want. After all, the person is dead, so it's useless to say anything."
