Qi Yu had just taken a few steps, then turned around and warned Luo Yuan: "Mr. Luo, there seems to be an emergency here. You have to pay attention to avoid it. I'll go over and take a look!"
"Okay, okay, just be careful."
"Um……"
In a moment, Qi Yu sneaked up to the cabin where his mother and wife were. Seeing that the doors and windows were all intact, he felt truly relieved. Then, he lay down behind an obstacle and watched quietly.
Soon, he discovered some abnormalities and clues.
After careful identification, we saw that in a hidden place on the shore, there were more than a dozen unidentified people hiding. They were all pretending to be innocent, and they were masked and armed with knives. They looked very much like robbers who were robbing homes.
Cough, spit!
The public security in Fujian Province is really bad. In broad daylight, some people dare to blatantly rob the imperial officials. Is there any royal law?
However, anger remains anger, and reality must be faced.
To be honest, Qi Yu feels a little regretful now. He shouldn't have sent out all the guards. Now that he is in danger, he doesn't even have a helper.
Rely on your own bravery to overcome the violent waves?
Ahem, this is a bit unrealistic!
How can he deal with so many people at the same time when he only has one musket in his hand?
Just when I was worrying about gains and losses, I saw that the 'enemies' had already begun to move.
They all bent over and leaned over lightly. It seemed that they had finished their exploration and were ready to start taking action.
Hey, what should I do?
Qi Yu felt a little dizzy...
In fact, if there were no family ties, I could choose to jump into the sea and escape. But now, my mother and wife are here, how can I not stand up?
But if you stand up, how can you break the situation?
How difficult!
After thinking about it, Qi Yu felt that the only option was to regret it.
So, he rolled up his sleeves resolutely, raised his hand and fired.
boom!
To strike first is to be stronger.
The person who was shot fell to the ground. After twitching a few times, he stopped struggling and moved.
However, this blow angered the thieves.
When they reacted, they all raised the four-foot swords in their hands, and then ran over fiercely.
As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four hands, and by the same token, one gun cannot defeat a group of enemies.
Alas, do you really want to be heroic here?
Absolutely not!
At this critical moment, a graceful figure suddenly flashed out.
Qi Dalang took a closer look, only to find that it was Leng Qing.
"You should hide, I'm going to go on a killing spree, don't be hurt by my fierceness..."
"well……"
Leng Qing's voice was still as cold as ever, but this time, her technique was colder than her voice.
"kill!"
With this soft drink, it immediately entered her personal performance time.
In a trance, I saw the flash of swords and swords, and then all the thieves went to pay homage to their ancestors.
Both clean and neat.
Still as sharp as ever!
However, Qi Yu was not perfect. He grinded his teeth and thought to himself: What's going on? You have to leave one or two people alive to ask why. If everything just clicks away, wouldn't it become a headless case?
Alas, forget it, survival is the most important thing, so I won’t worry about her so much.
Then, Qi Dalang coughed dryly and stepped forward and said, "I asked, why are you here?"
"I'm here to investigate the case!" Leng Qing replied coldly.
"Investigating a case? What case are you investigating?"
"Come check this thing out."
After saying that, Leng Qing threw an object over, only to find that it was actually a glass mirror.
After identifying the name, it is basically confirmed that this mirror was made in Qiongzhou.
"Not long ago, the lady specially commissioned me to investigate a glass product smuggling case. However, as I investigated, I followed the clues and ended up here. Just this morning, I suddenly realized that these thieves seemed to be someone's.
I gave the order, so I followed them here. I never expected that the person they wanted to deal with was actually you." Leng Qing smiled faintly, Gu Jing Muhao said.
Qi Yu nodded, then pointed at the dead bodies on the ground and asked, "What do you mean by your words, are these people smugglers and not robbers?"
Leng Qing shook her head and said, "What you said is only half right."
"What? Half?"
"Yes, although these people are smugglers, their identity is related to the official family."
Uh...why is it involving the official family again?
Well, this place is the territory of Fujian Governor Gao Ming. Is it possible that this matter has something to do with him?
Haha, I guessed it right.
Because, what Leng Qing said next indirectly proved this guess.
She said:
"There is enough evidence at the moment to show that they are inextricably linked to the Fujian Provincial Government. According to my guess, there is most likely some degree of official-business collusion between the two. And the Fujian governor Gaoming,
He is the one who started it."
Qi Yu suddenly said with emotion: "Before, I still couldn't figure out why Gao Ming was so wealthy. He could actually pay one hundred thousand taels of silver as a yearly tribute. It turned out that it was all because of profit from smuggling."
As of now, glass products are still a huge profit industry, so they attract the greed of some people.
Even, he did not hesitate to take risks.
Seeing that his expression became clearer, Leng Qing continued: "According to what I have discovered so far, Gao Ming and Yue Si are partners in cooperation. As for how the interests between them will be distributed, it is unknown.
In addition, I also found out that there is an insider in their business in Qiongzhou, but I don’t know who that person is yet.”
Who? Yue Sixian?
How did he get here?
What a surprise.
As for the internal response she was talking about, Qi Yu had naturally guessed it. The evidence was that in Yue Sixian's home, there was a peanut shell that was uniquely produced in Qiongzhou. If his family didn't eat it inside and outside, how could this thing be spread around?
Going out?
No matter what, Qiongzhou's customs must be rectified. There must be no tolerance for those who steal and do not follow the rules.
After coming back to his senses, Qi Yu asked again: "Tell me, why did these people attack me? What is their motive?"
Leng Qing thought for a while and explained: "According to my guess, they came to attack not out of their original intention, but under the instructions of others, either Gao Ming or Yue Sixian. Anyway, it must be one of the two.
one."
Oh? If it is so certain, then it is worthy of further scrutiny.
However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, these two old men are definitely working together and wearing the same pants in a certain position.
Fuck! I’m so tired of living!
Any form of intrigue can be tolerated, but once it threatens the safety of his family, Qi Yu will definitely retaliate 100%.
No doubt about it!
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Humph, when I free my hand, I won't be able to see you two..."
At this point, he suddenly realized Leng Qing's strange gaze, so he stopped abruptly.
The cold beauty is well-informed, how can she care about these things?
She smiled softly and said: "Don't be so cruel here. It's better to leave here quickly. As long as you return to Qiongzhou, others will not be able to do anything to you."
That’s right!
This is not my own one-third of an acre of land, and even if I have the intention to do so, I am still unable to do so.
Qi Yu sighed sadly, nodded and said, "What about you? Do you want to come back to Qiong with me?"
Leng Qing shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, this case has only been investigated halfway, so I can't leave yet."
"Well, that's fine, then just take care of yourself!"
"the same as you!"
"..."
It didn't take long for everyone who bought supplies to return home with a full load.
However, when they saw a pile of dead bodies in front of the ship, they all showed incredible expressions of surprise.
Looking at Sir Qi again, he acted as if nothing was wrong. He waved his hand and ordered the sails to set sail without any intention of explaining.
As for the mess here, Leng Qing will handle it on her own and no one else needs to worry about it?
