At this time, there was a lot of noise in the direction of the cabin, and several passengers were seen dragging someone out from the cabin while cursing. It was the woman who had passed out after giving birth to a dead fetus.
The woman had woken up and was looking at everyone with a horrified face. She didn't care about her lower body and wailed: "Help! What are you going to do?!"
"Witch, look at the good things you've done!"
"My nephew died in the mouth of the monster you gave birth to. Witch, you must pay for my nephew's life!"
"This woman must be a monster too! Burn her to death!"
"Burn her to death!"
The merchants on the ship were furious for a while, and they all blamed the woman for the trouble caused by the corpse.
The woman was like a stray lamb in the crowd, looking around in fear and shrinking. Even so, no one showed any sympathy, let alone any words to stop her. Everyone on the boat wanted to set fire to the woman immediately. people.
In the end, the boss of the ship stood up. Such a big incident occurred on the merchant ship, and four lives were lost. This situation could no longer be solved by people making a fuss. It happened to be an hour before we arrived at Dong Qinzhou Ferry, so it would be most appropriate to report to the officials after we docked.
The boss of the ship calmed everyone down, made clear the interests, and asked the ship's crew to take the woman into the cabin to take care of her. He also told the other merchants not to vent their anger privately, and to wait until the official decision was made after getting off the ship.
The Taoist priest with a grimace looked around and couldn't help but wonder: "An ordinary woman can give birth to a fetus that turns into an evil ghost. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it."
"She may not be an ordinary woman." He Siniang looked at the woman who was entering the cabin door and said: "Old lady Qi once said that the conditions for the formation of corpse fetuses are very harsh, and it is extremely rare in historical and wild biographies. …”
"Extremely rare again?" The grim-faced Taoist priest couldn't help but interrupt He Siniang: "From the time we entered the tomb of King Hui, the 'extremely rare' things came one after another, and none of them were good. What do you think, Siniang? What happened to us? Do we need to find a fortune teller? "
"Does the Taoist Master still believe this?" Meng Qingyao continued: "If you believe it, I know someone..."
"He doesn't believe anything!" He Siniang interrupted: "He even dares to molest the emperor's sister. Do you think he is someone who can trust fate?"
"Oh, Taoist Priest is so fierce?"
"Don't listen to Si Niang's nonsense. It was Lao Qi who teased her." The Taoist priest with a grimace talked about Luo Lao Qi, but he was never ambiguous.
"I'm so sorry! Taking the blame again on Old Seventh."
"What's wrong with Pindao's old face... But having said that, Brother Meng, your leg skills are really good! You can actually solve such a difficult corpse fetus by yourself, which makes Pindao look at him with admiration."
"It's just a blind cat pretending to be a dead mouse." Meng Qingyao replied: "Although I have some foot strength, my martial arts skills are rough. Being able to deal with corpses is just a mistake."
"That's pretty good. Hehe, Pindao really didn't expect that this is what Brother Meng meant when he talked about his ability to escape."
The three of them were just having fun, and order was gradually restored on the merchant ship.
At this time, the second son of the boat saw that the danger was over, and he got out of nowhere. When the boss of the ship saw him, he kicked him, then raised his hand and slapped him twice, and cursed angrily: "B*tt! You are already dozens of years old, and you can't even compare to a young brat when you encounter danger. You actually ran away in front of me?!"
The second in command didn't dare to say anything, so he covered his face and remained silent.
The boss of the ship had all the thoughts of killing the second son of the ship, but when he saw his dead moral character, he was like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and he couldn't vent his anger, so he said: "I'll deal with Le'an again this time." It’s up to you!” Then he turned around and continued to instruct the boatmen to clean up the messy deck.
The merchant ship drove for more than half an hour, and the lights of the ferry town on the river bank could be seen in the distance.
The three grimace Taoist priests packed their bags early and came to wait outside the boat. They were not interested in wasting time by accompanying everyone to the government office, and planned to leave as soon as the boat docked. After all, there was a tail hidden behind them, and they couldn't find it after searching for a long time. They could only get off the boat as soon as possible and make plans after arriving at the ferry.
The ferry at night was no longer as busy as it was during the day, with only a few men waiting on the pier.
This ferry town is called "Gaoping Town". It is only a few miles away from Xingcheng, the seat of East Qinzhou. However, although the distance between the two places is close, the night is getting darker and the city gate may have been closed, so the three of them can only go to Gaoping. Rest in the town for one night and wait until tomorrow to start the journey again.
After the merchant ship docked, the three Taoist priests with grimaces took the lead to get off the pier, and then started walking towards the town.
At this time, Meng Qingyao said: "Taoist Master, I feel that leaving Xu Yibai alone is a bit uneasy. Why don't we hide and wait for a while? If he comes down, we can catch him in a net."
The Taoist priest with a grimace shook his head: "Xu Yibai discovered us first. In this case, how could we easily find our traces? What's more, he may not get off the boat. Instead of waiting there, it's better to go to the town early and have a look. Let’s talk about it later.”
He Siniang also echoed: "Qingyao, you have never dealt with Xu Yibai. This man is very skilled in martial arts and is good at using deception. Even if we can block him here, in front of so many people , it’s not easy to fight.”
"That's it." Meng Qingyao nodded: "Xu Yibai is the leader of the Hewu Association after all. I just want to keep things simple. Let's go to the town to find a place to stay as soon as possible."
There are quite a few restaurants and inns in Gaoping Town. A town like this located in a traffic hub is usually much more prosperous than an ordinary small town.
The three grim-faced Taoist priests had been eating on the boat for many days, unable to sleep well at night, and they were already tired due to the hard battle tonight, so they went straight to the best restaurant in town, planning to reward themselves with a good meal. .
However, what the three grim-faced Taoist priests didn't know was that the restaurant they were looking for was not only the best in Gaoping Town, it was even very famous in the Xingcheng area, but it just had a famous "flower name".
This restaurant is called "Chunmanlou". It is not just a restaurant, but a complete brothel.
The owner of Chunmanlou is very creative. He opened restaurants, tea shops, inns and brothels together, and then found some tender and beautiful girls. This not only attracted prostitutes from the surrounding areas, but also the businessmen who passed by to stay here. There is also a place to have fun up there.
What's even more outrageous is that the owner of Chunmanlou is actually a Han Chinese.
It is said that this boss was extremely shrewd. While flattering the surrounding Hu officials, he also relied on the power of the Jianghu to buy and sell young and beautiful women in order to enrich the flower house. As the number of girls increased, Chunmanlou's business grew bigger and bigger. Even the dignitaries of Xingcheng would drive here to visit from time to time. This was spread from ten to ten, until today's " It is known as "Pingcheng has high music and Xingcheng has beautiful flowers".
