Chapter 260: Recourse

"Have you heard that Boss Kong and his gang were all dead?"

"No, when did it happen?"

"Just noon the day before yesterday, I died on the bank of the river. It is said that I died miserably, like being dismembered by five horses..."

"No wonder I can't see them on the dock these two days."

In a restaurant in the Shuidongfu Pier Market, several people were talking about it on the table.

One of them drank too much wine and slapped the table: "Good death! They are all hob meat, sluts who bully men and women, and do evil things, and finally suffered retribution."

The person next to him quickly pressed him down and said, "Xiao Wu, you have drunk too much, don't say so loudly."

The reason why Boss Kong and the others were able to make a living on the dock was that they were small characters, and they were supported by others. Many travelers could not help but applaud their sudden death. However, if they were heard by others, they would probably be retaliated by Boss Kong's accomplices.

Another person asked: "What the hell is going on? Who killed them?"

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know. This matter has already alarmed the yamen. Many yamen runners have sent to investigate and deal with it."

"Hmph, when Boss Kong and his friends were doing evil on the dock, they never saw the people from the yamen pay attention to it. Now that the evil people are dead, these officials are anxious like their dead sons."

The little five was angry and spoke sarcastically.

Others listened and felt sad. But some words could only be communicated privately, and they said in public, which could easily make people seize the handle and sue.

The person who talked about the topic coughed dryly and lowered his voice: "This group of people's death is strange and terrifying. It is said that there may be demons. The county government will definitely not be able to deal with this matter, but I am afraid that I will report to the state government."

When the word "demon" is revealed, everyone changes their color.

One of them stuttered a little: "It's not that mysterious..."

"What's so strange about this? Our shui River has had many rumors since ancient times. Someone once saw a hundred feet tall figure, and the wind and waves were stirred in the river. There are also records in the book that there were islands in the river with lush trees on it. However, one day, the island suddenly moved. What do you think is going on?"

This man has a very ancient talent, and he is very concise when he is kept indifferent.

Someone asked quickly,

The man shook his head and changed his mind, "The island itself is a huge turtle. After sleeping there for a long time, it becomes an island. After waking up, he wanders away."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but suck.

These hearings are really terrifying and full of magical colors. However, it is unknown whether the authenticity is true or false.

In fact, there is never a lack of all kinds of confusing but mysterious stories.

The little five tilted his head and suddenly said, "No, if it were a demon, how could he act as a hero and kill the evildoers?"

The man shrugged: "I don't know this. Maybe Boss Kong and his gang offended the other party."

As he was talking, a rush of horse hooves came from the street outside, causing a lot of noise and chaos.

Everyone was curious and didn't have time to eat, so they ran out to see what was going on. Then they saw a team of people coming, with twenty or thirty cavalry. The weapons were sharp and the armor was bright.

"It's military armor. People from Ningzhou have come here. Why are they so fast?"

The man recognized it and shouted in dismay.

Someone said: "It may be that it happened to be nearby, it's so majestic."

"That's all, they are elite, and they can beat us all."

As he said that, his face showed a sense of awe and shriveling.

Even the unrestrained Xiao Wu quickly closed his mouth, fearing that the trouble would come out.

They saw the leader of the team, one was a general wearing a full body, and the other was a weird man in a basket robe.

He was said to be a weird person because he looked a little weird, with thin cheeks and a pattern on his face on both sides. I don’t know if it was a scar or a birthmark, but it appeared on his face, making him look colorful and ferocious.

He has a high body stature, his hands are sleeved in his sleeves, and he does not hold the reins. However, the horse under his seat runs very steadily, and the person sits on it, as if he has roots, and does not move at all.

By showing one's hands, you can see extraordinaryness.

The team quickly crossed the street and headed to the river bank.

The shore is full of withered reeds, and it looks pale and bleak.

"Person Huang, Boss Kong and his group of people, happened here."

When he arrived at the riverside, he stopped his horse and said, pointing to the area ahead.

The Captain Huang raised his eyes and sniffed his nose, and said, "The weather is good today."

This sentence is completely unpleasant and answers the question.

But the general knew this person's temperament and did not speak.

Captain Huang sniffed and asked, "What did the yamen ask about what happened that day?"

"According to the information learned by the constable, Boss Kong wanted to attack a girl with luxurious clothes that day."

The girl appeared on the dock, and was the focus of the attention. Except for Boss Kong and his group, other people were also impressed by her and could tell at first question.

The general continued: "It was only later that the girl disappeared, and the eldest son Kong and the others died here."

"A girl with luxurious clothes?"

When Captain Huang heard this, his eyes shrank and his expression became solemn.

The general looked motionless and continued, "A witness once saw that at the dock, when Boss Kong and his team were about to take action, a scholar holding a horse appeared and helped the girl. Therefore, Boss Kong and others did not get the chance."

After a pause, he said, "The scholar was holding a red horse. But his appearance was not as good as his number."

Captain Huang said with great experience: "You can disguise your appearance. So, where did this scholar go?"

"It should have been on the Jiang family's merchant ship. As for where the destination is, it is unknown. The ship has been used for two days."

Captain Huang nodded: "I understand."

The general glanced at him and said, "I don't know what Captain Huang will do next? This scholar is just a bit suspicious."

Captain Huang grinned: "It's enough to be suspicious. You have to find someone and look at him in person to know that it's not right. General Zhou, are you right?"

General Zhou refused to comment: "You act cheaply, no matter whether you are right or wrong, it is your business."

Captain Huang said: "That's good..."

The topic suddenly changed: "Has anyone seen the girl with luxurious clothes later?"

"Yes, the scholar took her to the street market to eat and stroll around the street. But later, the two of them separated. The scholar went to the dock to take a boat, while the girl left the street alone and disappeared."

General Zhou obviously made a clear investigation.

"one person?"

Huang asked.

"According to witnesses in the street market, there is indeed only one girl, and she looks lonely..."

"What's going on?"
