258. Early morning

Although Su Che seemed to be indifferent, in fact, he didn't sleep. And he felt a little bad in his heart.

Sure enough, not long after, the door was knocked on.

"Have the two young men gone to bed?" someone asked, his voice slightly thick and cautious.

"I'm asleep." The thief replied.

It became quiet outside, but then knocked on the door again, "Young Master was joking."

"Who?" asked the Tuo Shuai. In fact, he had already heard it. The sound seemed to be from the boss of the ship.

Then, the people outside reported their own identities and said they would ask them to come out if they had something to do.

"Is there something wrong?" asked the Tuo Shuai.

"Yes, something happened." Boat Master Avenue.

The thief frowned and looked at Su Che opposite him.

Su Che had already gotten up and took the sword on the table.

Seeing this, the thief stood up as well.

After opening the door, there was indeed an anxious boss standing at the door. When he saw the two of them coming out, a little smile appeared on his face, but it looked a little reluctant.

There was still some caution and suspicion.

"You two haven't slept?" he asked.

"You are so anxious, you're awake." said the Tuo Shuai: "What happened?"

"Please follow me, please." The boss of the ship gave in and signaled that the two of them would follow him.

At this time, the door next to the room opened, and Shang Rongyu, who was yawning, walked out first, and behind him was Fu Yinshuang, who was expressionless. On the other side, the door also opened, and Yuqin also walked out.

"Let's go together." Shang Rongyu smiled.

...

Someone was killed in the corridor outside the passenger ship's attic.

The person who died was the Pinglan County constable Dong Zhao, who was on the deck before and was considered to have a relationship with Su Che.

"Slice the throat with one sword, clean and neat." Shang Rongyu seemed to sigh.

The body was there, with a few boatmen surrounding him, and four or five steps away, there were guests on the boat. Of course, not all the guests came, just some people who were not sleeping or watching the fun.

Su Che noticed that the corpse, that is, Dong Zhao's knife, was not unsheathed and was still held in his hand. As far as the scene was concerned, there was no sign of a fight.

"There are not just such people on the ship, right?" The Tuo Shuai looked at the boss of the ship beside him.

There are only a dozen guests here. His meaning is that the boss of the boat went to call them in person, and the intention is nothing more than to have doubts about them.

The boss of the boat looked awkward and stiff, "Young Master is joking, this..."

He seemed to be hesitant, not knowing how to speak, and his eyes were also looking up the stairs of the attic.

"I asked him to invite two of you."

The sound came from the second floor of the stairs and people walked down.

There were three people in the group, and there was a boy in blue shirt on the left. He was not very old, not tall, and had a good appearance. However, he looked like he had makeup on and was as pretty as a woman, which made people wonder. Seeing this, Su Che thought, he was thinking that it was almost dawn at night, so no one would wear makeup, let alone a boy.

The man on the right was holding a folding fan in his hand. He was not someone else. He was the young man who had spoken to the thief on the deck before and was also his companion. He was killed by the hunchbacked old man before.

The one who opened his mouth at this time was the middle-aged man who was in the middle and was the first to take the lead.

This man looked not very heroic, but he felt a sense of heroism in his eyes. Even though he was wearing a crimson silk shirt, he looked more like a smart and experienced businessman, but he was not as merciless as a gangster. In his every move, he felt a sense of joy that belonged to the people of the martial arts world.

The most important thing is that this person has a deep aura, and Su Che can sense his outstanding internal strength from this person. Obviously, regardless of the other person's identity as an extraordinary person, he is just a martial arts master.

"Second Master." When the boss saw this person, he quickly saluted, with a respectful voice and a more skillful manner.

Su Che didn't know the other person.

The thief recognized it.

"I didn't expect that the second master of the Xie family would be on the boat." He said.

The other party is Xie Qingqiu, the younger brother of the head of the Xie family. Because he ranks second, he is also called "Xie Erye". However, the Xie family is the Xie family in Nanling, but he is from the Xie family in the Shendu. Even if it is the same Xie family.

When Su Che heard the Xie family, he felt a move and had some guesses. The first person who popped up in his mind was Xie Yunzhou, who had disappeared that night in Liangzhou City.

"You recognize me?" Xie Qingqiu looked over and smiled slightly.

The Tuo Shuai nodded, "Of course I have heard of the name of Xie Erye."

Xie Qingqiu nodded, and then said, "I'm really disturbing you when I call you two here."

He clasped his fists at Su Che and the others present, and then clasped his fists at the same time.

No matter whether it was a gangster or an ordinary boat passenger, everyone quickly returned the gift. It was nothing more than the title of the Xie family in Nanling, which was enough to make them respect their respects, not to mention that the other party was approachable at this time and his posture was not high above all else. Of course, they were to be sensible.

"He is from the Xie family of the Shendu, and is also the younger brother of the head of the Xie family, Xie Qingqiu." The thief sent a message to Su Che quietly and briefly informed the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him.

Finally, he sent a message: "This person is the storefront of the Xie family in the world, but most of them are responsible for business and business between the people and the government. The Sihai Chamber of Commerce is this person's industry. Now it seems that the ship we are on is the Sihai Chamber of Commerce behind it."

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the capital of Liang State. It mainly operates rivers, lakes and seas, but never touches the salt and iron business. At least on the surface, because the salt and iron business has always been affiliated with the canal transportation and is controlled by the government. As for the private salt and iron transactions of Liang State, it is mostly caught by the money.

Su Che had certainly heard of the title of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce before, but no one told him that it was the Xie family's property. He used to think that it was controlled by someone in the Liang court. Until the Liang Kingdom was destroyed, the Chamber of Commerce was still active, and he realized that he was wrong, but he didn't care.

I never thought that I would encounter it today.

...

"I believe both of you know this person's identity." Xie Qingqiu looked at Su Che, especially, and glanced at the sword in his hand.

This glance was not concealed, but seemed calm.

Su Che chuckled, "Do you want to say that I might have killed someone?"

There are of course many people from the martial arts world with swords and swords around. Those who come out to watch the fun at this time are both courageous and confident. Even if they see Xie Qingqiu appearing now, they will inevitably be scared, but they will not reveal it.

From the look of the Thief, Su Che knew that most of the people around him were silent. He couldn't help but look at the young man holding the fan more, wondering what his identity was, and he would actually follow Xie Qingqiu.

"The people on the boat are all doubtful." Xie Qingqiu said: "It's not targeting the young hero."

"I think, should we introduce ourselves first?" The young man holding the fan smiled and clasped his fists first, "Let's go down to Li Huan."

He just said his name, which seemed to be calm, but actually felt pride because of this surname.

The Li family in Pingyang, Yan State is one of the Liuhe families.
