Chapter 181
Night falls.

The moat of Tiannanfu City is flowing like in the past.

Several city guards were stationed at their posts.

A soldier yawned and muttered while staring at the boats passing by on the river.

"Unfortunately, those gentlemen above, don't know what kind of madness they are having. They have nothing to do, but they suddenly demand to strengthen the supervision of the river, and they don't let people relax in the middle of the night..."

Another soldier reminded, "You don't know how to restrain your mouth. I heard that the higher-ups have formed a monitoring team to patrol the river. If you are caught by them, you will feel better."

"Got it, got it." The soldier said helplessly, digging out his ears.

The Fucheng in Tiannan is very different from the Fucheng in other places in Dayue.

Because it has been transformed by a group of uninvited guests, the huge moat is intertwined and entangled in the city.

In times of war, it is the strongest gate in the city.

In normal times, this dense river network is also the hub connecting the inside and outside of the prefecture city.

If precautions are not careful, it is possible for people to pass through the river and enter the city.

Therefore, daily ships entering and leaving the city are subject to registration and inspection.

It's just that in the past, it's just meaningless, and you can be lazy or something.

Today, however, additional manpower was suddenly deployed and the censorship was intensified.

Just when several soldiers were bored, a small cargo boat slowly approached in the distant river.

"Stop, who is it?" Several soldiers cheered up immediately, winked at each other, and looked at the boat.

I was called to defend the city in the middle of the night, and there was no overtime pay.

They have to do something for themselves.

The so-called geese have plucked their feathers, and the severe drought in the south has been so hard.

Relying on the little salary of the guards and soldiers alone, they can't survive.

"What's on the ship?" A soldier looked over the cargo ship, as if he was calculating the value of the goods on board, and asked the owner with a cold face.

"My lords, I am from the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce in the city, and the boat transported some tea bricks from the south," the captain nodded and bowed, smiling obsequiously and handing over his identity certificate, along with a small bag. "A little heart, take some tea for the masters."

A soldier took the bag, weighed it, and nodded to the surrounding people, "Since it belongs to the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to check it. The Bai Family Master is a well-known honest businessman in Fucheng. Leave a few tea bricks, let's go."

"It's just tea bricks, it's simple, please wait a little bit, gentlemen."

The captain quickly asked someone to take out a brick of tea, and finally filled the mouths of several soldiers.

"Okay, you can go in." A soldier said.

It’s just that the cargo ship had just left, when a soldier suddenly looked at the place where the ship meets the water and said, “It’s weird, is this ship really made of tea bricks? Why does it feel like there’s something wrong with the draft.”

"Is there a problem with the draft?" The soldier who took the bag and was opening the money raised his head, glanced at the shadow of the cargo ship going away, and then said, "Don't worry about it, there is Marshal Wang in the city, and if you can't turn the sky, divide the money first." , save nights and dreams! It would be bad if the surveillance team came and was seen, tsk tsk, this money is enough for our brothers to go to Chunxiang Tower for a happy night."

…………

The cargo ship slowly sailed into the Fucheng.

Driving on the waterway for a long time.

Finally docked at a pier.

There are already people waiting on the pier.

He was a middle-aged man dressed in black with a particularly sinister appearance.

"Is everything delivered? The road is not smooth? Why are you here so late?" the man asked.

The owner of the ship got off the ship, and while instructing the workers to unload the cargo, he replied in a low voice, "It's all delivered, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that the bottom of the ship seems to be entangled in water plants or something, so it's late."

Take the middle-aged man to a wooden box with straw and tea bricks to catch the eye.

The captain lifted off the camouflage, revealing the things below that were packaged in jars and wrapped in oiled paper.

A pile of dark powder, if you smell it carefully, you can smell a faint smell of sulfur.

The middle-aged man picked up a little powder with his little fingernail, took it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it carefully, and then nodded, "The goods are all right, put them away first, this is our confidence in dealing with that Marshal Wang."

The middle-aged man sneered, "There are still a few more boats after this, enough to make up a thousand catties. I don't believe that Marshal Wang is really the reincarnation of a god and man, and they won't kill him!"

The captain's face also showed fanaticism.

dong dong——

stab-

A sound like something knocking and rubbing came from the river.

"What's that sound?" The middle-aged man asked with a frown.

The owner of the ship searched for the source of the sound and finally looked at the bottom of the cargo ship.

"I just sent a few people to clean up the aquatic plants on the bottom of the boat. Why haven't they come up for so long?" The owner of the boat was also puzzled, "This trivial matter has to be delayed for so long?"

At this moment, a burst of bright red rose from the bottom of the river and slowly fainted in the river.

It is a flower that blooms.

The expressions of the two changed at the same time.

"It's blood!" The middle-aged man made a judgment.

"How come? It's just cleaning up some aquatic plants," the boat owner stepped forward, wanting to see what's going on, but he didn't dare to step forward rashly, and immediately pointed at the two workers.

"Both of you, come and see what's going on?"

"Master, shopkeeper... this..." The two workers also became uneasy when they saw the blood, and hesitated to go forward.

"Find out what happened, a bounty of one hundred coppers." Said the owner.

"One hundred coppers?!" The two workers were pleasantly surprised.

In today's world, three hundred copper coins can buy a life.

Just by taking a look at it, you can earn a hundred copper coins, which is almost a steady profit.

However, the situation in this river channel is really scary.

But for the sake of one hundred copper coins, the two of them were heartbroken, and they gritted their teeth and stepped forward to check the situation.

But he saw blood gushing out of the river from time to time.

"Old water ghost, is that you?" The two approached little by little, timidly shouting, and then came to the river bank.

But the river water was already turbid, and it was even more difficult to see clearly when it was mixed with blood.

goo goo goo...

Suddenly, a burst of bubbles rose from the bottom of the river.

It was as if the whole river was boiling.

The two workers suddenly felt bad and wanted to evacuate in panic.

wow-

The sound of breaking water.

Several ferocious claws suddenly stretched out.

Grab the necks of the two and drag them into the water.

Gollum.

The bottom of the water fluttered twice.

More blood flowed out, dyeing the river red.

Accompanied by the terrified cries of the workers around.

A ferocious hand grasped the river bank.

Immediately afterwards, weird men with iron-blue skin, teeth marks, and gnawing marks emerged from the bottom of the river one by one.

The green eyes are like light bulbs.

He looked at everyone with a greedy and hungry look.

Roar--

He screamed and rushed towards the crowd.
