Chapter 179

Xin Yi's back was numb, and he stared at Fu Jiuqu with bated breath, and asked him with his mouth in the faint light of the thick fog.

"what happened?"

Fu Jiuqu kept his posture unchanged, lazily pulling her behind him, and opened the wooden door of the cabin.

A rude and sonorous voice of inquiry came from outside.

"Is the Prince of Guangling on this ship?"

Fu Jiuqu smiled coldly, and said to Cheng Cang, "Tell him, the king of Guangling County is dead."

Xin Yi turned his head abruptly, his eyes were dark, as if a flock of crows were flying over his head.

Cheng Cang looked at his master in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The word "death" was the most taboo among people at the time. How could anyone easily say that they were dead?
Sun Huai rushed up, "Master, don't talk nonsense..."

Fu Jiuqu: "That's it."

Cheng Cang cleared his throat and walked onto the deck.

Looking around, there was a large passenger ship blocking the front of the official ship. Two men dressed as merchants stood on the bow and looked around.

Cheng Cang said: "The king of Guangling County is not on board, how dare you ask brother what's the matter?"

The two looked at each other, and cupped their hands towards Cheng Cang.

One said: "We are spice merchants from Shouzhou. We have an urgent matter to see the King of Guangling County. Please pass it on for us..."

Another said: "Master, we have a grievance, and I want to ask the king of Guangling County to decide for us..."

Cheng Cang said with no expression on his face: "If you have any grievances, go to Kaifeng Mansion to beat Dengwen Drum, and someone will accept it."

The businessman bowed his hands again, "Please tell me, the senior officials, there is something urgent... We know that the king of Guangling County is investigating the counterfeit spice case in Shouzhou. We are all insiders and have clues to provide... "

Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu.

If he hadn't known the disappearance in advance, this "Yan Wang Zhan" would have been used extremely well.

Knowing what Fu Jiuqu wanted, he gave him what he wanted.Someone gave evidence that he was likely to stop the boat to meet each other.As long as they can get close to Fu Jiuqu, it will be much easier for them to use some tricks.

"Cheng Cang." Fu Jiuqu said suddenly, "Let them kneel three times and kowtow nine times."

Kneel three times and knock nine times?

From the passenger ship to this official ship, how to kneel three times and kowtow nine times?
Xin Yi looked at him in surprise, and suddenly his wrist sank, and he was pulled out by Fu Jiuqu.He was very strong, as if he wanted to crush her bones, but his expression was very light, and there was even a faint smile between his brows and eyes.

"When you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help."

Facing the river, Cheng Cang yelled loudly as Fu Jiuqu said.

"The King of Guangling County said, you ask him to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times..."

Isn't this embarrassing?
The faces of the two merchants on the opposite side changed, and they did not respond for a while.

At this time, Duan Sui hurried over from the stern of the official boat and reported with a low voice.

"Master Jiu, many fishing boats are approaching our big boat. There are also several passenger boats. I don't think they are very friendly..."

Xin Yi's face changed slightly, "Not good, they are going to do something..."

The water is rippling, and no one knows how many killers are hidden on the fishing boats that are swarming up densely.

Xin Yi's body tensed up, and his heart was pounding.

"The king of the county, 36 strategies, the best strategy is to go."

"Afraid of death?" Fu Jiuqu frowned. Seeing her tense appearance, her indifferent face suddenly softened a little. "Don't worry, I'm here. How many little thieves are you afraid of?"

A few small thieves are not afraid.

The problem is that there are not just a few here, but groups, groups...

Seeing Fu Jiuqu's handsome face as calm as water, Xin Yi was filled with resentment.

According to the plot, Fu Jiuqu died of an illness in the end, so it is true that he has not died yet, but it is not certain that everyone else will die.

Xin Yi, who has a modern soul, cherishes life very much. She really has no way to see any innocent person die in vain.

"Your Majesty, there will always be casualties in weapon fighting, we might as well find another way..."

"What are you afraid of? I will protect you." Fu Jiuquyun smiled lightly, and slipped a long sword into her hand.

"Hercules from Bianjing, I believe in your abilities."

"..." What kind of protection is this?
Rumble!
There was a thunder in the sky.

This spring rain began to fall as soon as it was said.

Rain and fog shrouded the river, and the boats seemed to become blurred silhouettes, but their movements were quick.

In broad daylight, they drew their weapons, intending to force the official ship to stop.

"The Prince of Guangling comes out!"

"Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. The king of Guangling County came out to give us an explanation."

"Destroy my family business, kill my wife and children... This enmity is not mortal."

"The sky has no eyes, there is a grievance and a vengeance, today I have to avenge myself."

The roar on the river was loud.

Sentence after sentence, Xin Yi captured an amazing message from it.

From the dialogue of these people, it seems that they are not killers, but incense people who rely on spice products to survive.Because of Fu Jiuqu's investigation of the counterfeit spices case, the industry has suffered an unprecedented impact. Even the regular spice workshops have been forced to stop working. With money, one ring after another, this industry is completely dead.They had no way out to make a living, so they intercepted the king of Guangling County on the Bian River to ask for an explanation.

It sounds reasonable.

But who is instigating behind these people, and how many killers are hidden among the people, planning to take advantage of the chaos to kill Fu Jiuqu?

Xin Yi understood the inside story, and couldn't help but take a breath.

"What a vicious method."

After killing a person, he can still use public opinion to coerce public opinion.

After all, the law does not blame the public.

If Fu Jiuqu died in Bianhe today, there would probably be no one to seek justice.

Realizing this, Xin Yi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Fu Jiuqu.

What he did was obviously for the imperial court and was ordered by the emperor, but today's son is a benevolent king. When he needs a knife, Fu Jiuqu can draw it out. Even if he is drowned by the spittle of the people, it is himself Do a lot of evil...

The ships are getting closer and closer, and the situation is on the verge of breaking out.

Cheng Cang stood on the edge of the railing with his knife pressed, and angrily reprimanded him in a cold voice.

"Are you all going to kill yourself? If you have a grievance or suffering, report it to the officials yourself. How many heads are enough to cut off the county king's ship?"

"So what if we stop him? So what if we kill him? If you don't offend you, you've already offended. If we don't speak up today, we will have the lives of the King of Guangling!"

When one person shouts, a group of people follow suit.

"The king of Guangling County has always been unscrupulous, disregarding the suffering of the people, how much blood was on his hands, how many people did he kill?"

"Correct!"

"We want his life!"

"The king of Guangling County is a noble man. One of us dies. Ten lives are worth one life. Death is worth it."

"For the sake of the people, kill the king of Guangling County."

Once an individual is integrated into the crowd, he will no longer have independent thinking. The instigated public opinion surges in like a tide. They talk about Fu Jiuqu's evil deeds vividly, as if he is a heinous big devil. Everyone can't wait to punish him and then hurry up.

People roared excitedly.

It was as if a dry wood that had been burned with kerosene was ignited.

The surrounding boats were densely packed, and finally the official boat was forced to be unable to move an inch.

Those killers on fishing boats and passenger ships threw trident anchors at the official ships, and then led the crowd up like ants, fighting with the guards with steel knives...

There was a clash of swords and clanks.

The cold wind blew over the river, knocking off Xin Yi's melon cap.

The incited crowd seemed to be crazy, their eyes were scarlet and excited.They can't listen to any dissuasion, once the blood is ignited, it is difficult to burn out.

There are twenty or so guards of the Imperial City Division, all on the deck.At first they didn't get the order and didn't dare to hit hard, let alone kill people lightly. They kept their hands measured, but seeing that the situation was out of control, they gradually became powerless to stop them.

"The king of the county...these people are crazy. What should I do?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes swept around coldly, with a bloodthirsty gleam.

"Kill or kill!"

The guards cheered up immediately.

"Order!"

"Intending to murder the king of the county, kill him on the spot."

The sound of killing shook the sky, and they rushed forward without fear of death, regardless of the life and death of others.Amidst the shrill roar, the planks of the ship were being stepped on and trembled, and the ship also shook.

Xin Yi was dragged by the wrist by Fu Jiuqu, and wandered east and west. During the fighting of the crowd, she became dizzy and almost vomited.

She understands that these are not ordinary people, there are too many killers mixed in

But she really saw many honest faces from the crowd.

The vicissitudes, the weather-beaten, the appearance of the old farmer, is not a killer, but a real commoner.

The death of a killer is not a pity, but these people may of course be innocent, but they have just been instigated to lose their minds.

Sin doesn't deserve death.

Xin Yi suddenly felt very sad.

She couldn't see through life and death, and she didn't want to watch these people become dead under the knife.

"Are you all fools? You are being used!"

Xin Yi shouted loudly, pushed Fu Jiuqu's hand away, rushed in front of the rain and fog crowd, gestured with a long sword, and stared at the crowd that was getting closer and closer.

"Look around, are they all people you know? Think about it carefully, is it possible that you were instigated by others to make such an absurd move? Whose life is not life? Assassinate the imperial court official, what do you think? Haven't thought about the consequences?"

"Death is death! Anyway, we have a cheap life, and if we can hold back the Guangling County King, death is worth it."
