264. Rainy night

The gloomy sky finally rained. At first there were scattered raindrops, and the raindrops suddenly became heavier as they swayed.

The raindrops splashed and crackled, and the people who were originally on the deck ran back to the cabin. It was a heavy rain, and the shouts of the helmsman and boatmen could be heard everywhere on the boat.

The clouds were low, dull, lightning and thunder, and the increasingly rapid north wind.

In this way, in the continuous rain all day, the docks in the distance were already looming.

It was dark and dark because of the rain, and it was already evening.

The boat slowed down.

"I've arrived in Ye County."

Under the candlelight, the thief wiped a row of flying knives on the table.

Su Che opened his eyes, Jingzhu Ming Shen finished, and exhaled. Seeing the other party fiddling with the flying knife, out of curiosity, he subconsciously reached out and wanted to pick it up and take a look, but just reached halfway through, he didn't know what he thought of and hesitated.

"If you want to see it, just watch it." The Tuo Shuai saw his hesitation and smiled.

Su Che was afraid of taking the liberty, so he heard it now and took it over and took it to see it.

The flying knife is indeed specially made, and the material is special, not heavy, but there should be small mechanisms in it. He didn't understand it, so he took a rough look and put it down.

"Are you ready?" asked the Tuo Shuai.

Su Che nodded.

Someone knocked on the door outside and pushed it in directly.

"Don't you think it's rude?" The thief didn't raise his head.

It was Shang Rongyu who came in, and she obviously didn't care about this. She held two umbrellas in her hand and placed them by the wall.

"It's raining outside, remember to hold an umbrella." She said and went out.

The door was closed, and the puzzled coach's eyes were still confused, "Is this her?"

"Send an umbrella." Su Che said.

"Just just come to deliver an umbrella?" The Tuo Shuai didn't believe it.

"Otherwise?" Su Che stood up and stretched, "She didn't say anything."

"It would be strange if you don't say it." The Tuo Shuai cursed his lips and put away the flying knife on the table.

Before leaving the door, he called Su Che.

"I said, if the situation is wrong then, you will run away." said the Tuo Shuai.

Su Che's hands had already opened the door. When he heard this, he paused and said, "Run?"

"You know the way to the city of Machinery. With your martial arts, even if you have great practice and we are dragging you, you can get out." The thief came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Run quickly."

Su Che glanced at him, "Do you think I'll run away?"

"I know you won't run, so I let you run." Tuo Shuai said in a serious tone. "If Xie Yunzhou really did the trick this time, he would definitely not only want to ruin your reputation, but also want our lives."

Su Che looked at him with a serious look in his eyes.

The Tuo Shuai smiled and interrupted what he wanted to say, "Okay, the words stop here, maybe the situation is not as bad as I thought."

Su Che rolled his eyes and opened the door, "Then you are talking nonsense, there is nothing else but to ruin my mood."

The Tuo Shuai took the two umbrellas by the wall, "I want to come and give you an umbrella, but you forgot to bring it with you."

Su Che reached out to take it, his face calmed down, and he raised his foot and walked out.

...

The rain outside was still heavy, but the most urgent time had passed. If it was the water column that had originally penetrated the heaven and earth, it was now a series of water curtains spreading.

The mountains and rivers are empty in the distance, and the world is dark, but you can still see the fog coming from all over the place.

The sound of wind and endless rain disappeared, the sound of boats was gone, the sails had already fallen, and the dock with flashing lights was near before my eyes.

There should be not many people on the pier, because the lights are hazy and they are just shining sporadic.

The boat stopped.

Xie Qingqiu walked out, behind him was a servant holding a big umbrella with a respectful look on his face.

"Everyone, don't forget what we said before." He smiled and said, "The coroner and constable of the Ye County Government are at the dock. After you get off the boat, please cooperate with us."

Of course, few of these passengers disembarked in Ye County. Most of them were called out before they even arrived at their destination. However, because the other party was the Xie family, they had to swallow their anger.

"Mr. Xie Er, we are in a hurry to go to Lanhu County. How long will it take to be here?" someone asked.

When someone asked, there were naturally more people speaking out, but there were very few people talking at this time, most of them were ordinary merchants, which was indeed a result of anxiety.

Xie Qingqiu raised his hand and pressed him down and smiled, "Don't worry, you can't delay the time for a few people. And please rest assured that the ship fee for this trip will be borne by the Xie family, so it's just for you to accompany you."

As he said that, he hugged everyone, as if he was really sorry.

In the crowd, the thief looked at him coldly, and just hummed at this time, very disdainful.

No matter what, everyone on the boat saw it. There were people wearing straw raincoats waiting early on on the dock, and some were sharp-eyed, of course, they saw the goose-feathered swords on their waists.

"Constable." This is the identity of those people.

only,

"Can the constables in the rural county town be so elite?" Shuai Shuai narrowed his eyes.

There were not many people on the dock, only ten or twenty people, but I don’t know how long I had been standing there. At this time, they were silent and stood there, as if they were looking at them, without even a single movement.

It was a rainy day. Apart from the police officers in the capital or the six gates, how could the constable and willful constable in ordinary places have such determination and will?

This is definitely not a constable and provocative yamen runner in Ye County.

"Get off the boat." Xie Qingqiu said, stretched out his hand to signal, and moved away.

Everyone got off the boat.

The umbrellas that were stretched out looked like flowers blooming in the rain from a high place, but under the lightning and thundering night, there was no beauty, but instead a strange feeling.

Silently, men, women, young and old, ordinary people, businessmen, or people from the world, all followed Xie Qingqiu into a warehouse-like place.

"The county government is still far away from here. I temporarily cleaned up the warehouse and asked you to take care of it." The man in the straw raincoat said.

The lamp in the warehouse was considered bright, and there were a few pots of charcoal fires, so it was not too cold. At this time, many men had already led their women to cook the fire, and although they were dissatisfied, they would not say it out. More, they were still wary. Even if the second master of the Xie family was brought to them, they were off the boat in the end, and no one was really relieved.

But in just a short moment, the forty or fifty boats of passengers seemed to have divided into groups.

Soon, the bodies on the boat were also transported down. The bodies were covered with white cloth and were carried by the two, while the constables wearing straw raincoats were covered with umbrellas on both sides.

The rain slid down from the straw raincoat, leaving traces of water on the ground.

"Please also, the martial arts practitioners stand on my right hand."

The leader was the leader who took off his straw hat and said.

This is a middle-aged man with a hard face and a burly figure. He has a scar on his face on both sides of his face, and he looks a little hideous under the light and shadow.

"The murderer is a person who knows martial arts." He added.

Two feet behind him, the man who seemed to be a coroner had already begun to check the body. At this time, he raised his hand and said, "That's true, it's better to use a sword master."

Before everyone could stand apart, the captain had already looked at Xie Qingqiu.

"Then please stay with the sword, and the rest can be returned to the ship." Xie Qingqiu nodded slightly to everyone and apologized with a smile, "It's really annoying."
