Chapter 1366

Here, Nalan Jinnian is having dinner.

There was a noise outside, and there were officers at the wharf shouting everywhere, asking everyone to stay in place and accept the inspection.

After a while, Chen Huan came in: "master, a rich businessman was killed. Someone saw the murderer hiding in the Liu family's fleet. Now the official asked for a ship by ship inspection. The maid has asked Mr. Liu and the officials to come and inspect our ship first."

Liu's family has brought more than a dozen ships to transport medicine, goods and grain. At the moment, there are also many goods on board. In addition to Liu's goods, there are also goods from other businesses. It's troublesome to check!

But since someone saw the murderer hiding in Liu's boat, there was no reason to leave without being checked.

Nalan Jinnian nodded, "OK."

"How did the murder happen?" The Empress Dowager frowned and said.

Nalan Jinnian's eyes were cold and said, "it's better to be coincidence."

The Empress Dowager's eyebrow beat. She sandwiched a chopstick dish for warm: "warm, eat quickly!"

If it weren't for coincidence, I wouldn't know what would happen for a while!

If you can't eat, you'll be hungry and warm!

Soon a group of officers and soldiers came in with several witnesses to inspect the ship.

Warm, they are still eating calmly.

The leading officers and soldiers have seen the token and know that the people on this ship are dignitaries from the capital.

He said very politely, "my guests, a ship has been killed. These people saw the ship running to several ships here. We have to check it."

Nalan Jinnian nodded: "check it!"

Nalan Jinnian said to Liu Xiaoen, "let all the people on the ship go to the deck and let several witnesses recognize people!"

"Yes, young master!" Liu Xiaoen answered immediately.

The leading officers and soldiers heard the speech and said respectfully, "excuse me!"

Then the officer behind him said, "look around, be careful, don't damage the things on the ship! Guys, please go to the deck and identify someone!"

So the officers and soldiers began to search around.

Of course, no one dared to disturb them for dinner.

Because the ship was specially arranged for Nalan Jinnian and their return to Beijing, there was not much cargo on board, and the inspection was completed in about two quarters of an hour.

By this time, they had finished their meal.

The leading officers and soldiers bowed to Nalan Jinnian: "childe, I have checked and found no murderer!"

The Empress Dowager heard the speech and said, "can our ship leave?"

The leading officer and soldier replied, "yes! You can go. Excuse me!"

Surprisingly smooth!

The Empress Dowager nodded: "it's good over there. It's hard! We must catch the murderer! It's hateful for the son of God to dare to commit murder on the ship in broad daylight!"

"Yes! We still have a task. I'm sorry to disturb you just now. Let's leave first!" The leading officer gave a very polite boxing salute, and then took the people away.

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief: "it's really a coincidence. Well, warm, seventeen, go back to your room and have a rest! It's hot in the carriage these days. There are dark shadows at the bottom of your eyes. You must not have a good rest!"

Nalanjin ordered a little.

Warm smile: "mother also had an early rest!"

"Good!"

Several people went back to their cabins to rest.

outside

After the officers left the ship, Liu Xiaoen quickly commanded the helmsman on the ship to sail and leave.

He knew that Nalan Jinnian was in a hurry to return to Beijing, so he couldn't delay it.

Just as their ship took off the rope, people on the shore saw it and said loudly, "Sir, the ship wants to leave. The murderer must be on that ship!"

When the others heard it, they looked at it and shouted, "yes! The ship wants to leave secretly! The murderer must be on it! Come on! Stop them!"

"Stop the ship and don't let it run away!"

Several figures hurried over, grabbed the rope, and even jumped on the boat to prevent the boat from leaving.

Liu Xiaoen hurriedly said, "Dear folks, our ship has been checked by officers and soldiers just now! The murderer is not on our ship! So our ship can leave!"

The people on other ships were not satisfied when they heard the speech: "my ship has just been inspected! Why can't my ship go, and your ship can go?"

"Yes! Just now the officer said that all ships can't leave for the time being. They can't leave until they catch the murderer after inspection! Why can your ship leave!"

People around expressed dissatisfaction.

The officers and soldiers who were searching heard the news, rushed over and found that it was the boat path they had made: "the boat has been checked. There is no murderer. They can go first if they have something urgent!"

"Sir, you can go after checking. Why can't our boat go? Our boat checked just now! We have something urgent! We have to go too!"

The officer frowned, "isn't your ship blocked by other ships? How to go!"

"You can move the other boats and let my boat go first!"

The officer shook his head: "no, other ships are under inspection. What if the killer takes the opportunity to run to the inspected ship when he moves?"

"It's not fair! Sir, when their ship leaves, aren't you afraid that the murderer will run to their ship and leave? Besides, the murderer will still run to their fleet! All our ships have to wait, why can you go first! In that case, we won't wait here, and we'll go too! It's none of our business whether the murderer is caught or not!"

"Yes! It's the murderer who ran to their fleet, so we all have to be checked. Their ship can go first, but ours can't! What's the reason? Is there any royal law!"

"Let's go together, or we won't accept the inspection! We'll drive away! Who's in an emergency? Our goods are also in a hurry to send back!"

"Yes, we also have urgent affairs! Everyone is in business. Is their Liu family's fleet particularly great!"

The owners of the surrounding ships protested.

In the evening, it was time for the ship to dock for supplies and then continue to sail at night.

So at this time, there are many fleets and many people at the wharf.

The men pulled the ropes that warmed their ship and wouldn't let their ship leave.

The officer saw that it aroused public anger. He got on the boat where Nalan Jinnian and said to Liu Xiaoen with an embarrassed face: "young master Liu, what do you think of this?"

Liu Xiaoen didn't expect to be stopped by everyone!

However, this time there are their sworn enemies of the Liu family, which are all provoked by that man.

He said, "I'll ask."
