When the sound of "boom boom" sounded outside the cabin, Feng Ziying fell on the spot almost without thinking, and then took advantage of the situation to sweep the hall and kick the tea table in front of her diagonally.

The bolt slammed into the top, humming and shuddering, before slamming down on the lattice and falling.

Cui Jingrong, who was sitting at the back of the house, was all stunned, but fortunately, the people of the Long Forbidden Captain and the Cao Gang reacted extremely quickly, and they had already controlled the two wings outside the cabin in an instant, preventing the enemy from following up and killing.

In fact, the chances of such an assassination on the surface of the river are extremely small.

Because the river is spacious, and both sides of the canal are flat, several assassin killers, when facing a large ship, if they want to attack, they can either scuttle the shipwreck to cause chaos and then take advantage of the situation to assassinate, or directly board the ship to assassinate, or can only use fire guns or even artillery to attack.

But there is no doubt that the difficulty is too high.

Scuttling a shipwreck may seem feasible as simple as it may seem, but in practice it is almost impossible, unless it is in the middle of a large river, and it is impractical to go on a canal.

This kind of official ship specially used to carry passengers, first of all, is to pay attention to safety, do you really think that you can hold your breath underwater and sink the boat, do you think that the people who eat on the water are idiots? After decades of rolling on the water, even if there is a slight abnormal sound on the bottom of the boat, they can hear whether it is stranded or encountered a foreign object, and you can't chisel through the bottom of the boat at once, even if you are a diamond.

It's simple to board the ship directly to assassinate, but what you have to face is the master guards sent by the Qiushui Sword Sect and the Cao Gang, this is not counting the people of the Dragon Forbidden Captain, if you leave a few live mouths and fall into the hands of the Dragon Forbidden Captain, it will taste long, if you have to, I'm afraid no one will be willing to take such an almost death-defying adventure method.

In fact, the best way is to attack with guns or even artillery, and it should be said that this way is the best.

But if this is in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Guangzhou, maybe it is also possible, after all, the artillery guns from the Xiyi people in Luzon have been able to buy from pirates and Xiyi people, but this is on the canal, and it will soon be Yangzhou City, the real hinterland of the Great Zhou, and it is almost impossible for the guns to appear in the hands of anyone other than the official army.

The shouts and cries of killing were endless, and it was obvious that the Long Forbidden Lieutenant and the people of the Cao Gang and the Qiushui Sword Sect had already clashed with their opponents, but they soon fell silent.

The people in the cabin are all clinging to the deck, each leaning against the wall or leaning on the table and chairs to cover up, in this case, there is no need to talk about what kind of demeanor and bearing, it is important to save your life, including Feng Ziying.

Seeing Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng lying on the deck with their pale faces and panicked eyes, coupled with their trembling bodies, Feng Ziying could understand that she was amused in her heart, and she had never been in contact with these before, nor had she lived on the border, how could she have ever experienced such a situation?

Even Cui Jingrong and Wei Guangwei are no better, but Sun Juxiang is still a little unruly, lying on the ground and looking around.

The bulkheads of such passenger ships are quite sturdy, and even the crossbows cannot be shot through, so they can only be shot through the windows, and the Cao Gang and the Dragon Forbidden Captain are guarding both ends, so there is no danger that the assassins can break in.

After waiting for a stick of incense, the sound outside became louder again, Feng Ziying thought for a while before getting up and motioned to the two classmates next to her: "Mengzhang, Kexuan, get up, I guess it's nothing." ”

"Huh? How do you know? Fan Jingwen hesitated.

"I guess it wasn't here to assassinate in the first place, but more like a demonstration and a warning to remind our group."

As soon as Feng Ziying's words fell, Cui Jingrong over there had already slowly gotten up, "Ziying, why do you say that?" ”

Several other people also looked around for a while, and then carefully lifted the bulkhead to get up.

"Gong Cui, this is almost to Yangzhou, our business trip is almost over, to put it mildly, the emperor and Wenyuan Pavilion are urging so tightly, we have to go back every time we go to a place after the investigation, the rest is after going back, listen to a general report of our group and forget it, in fact, we all know that this is only afraid that the emperor and the cabinet elders have a plan in their hearts, nothing more than some details to consider, to put it bluntly, there is nothing more to do with us, What's the point of assassinating us? ”

"Maybe those people don't know the details here,......" Before Wu Liangsi finished speaking, Feng Ziying laughed, "Brother Ming Zhong, are you insulting these people?" They can't even find out this bit of news, and they dare to come and get involved in the troubled waters of the open sea? ”

One sentence choked Wu Liangsi speechless, but when he thought about it, it was true, who could get involved in the matter of opening the sea, and even dared to act like this, which one was not worth a lot of money?

Although I don't know who it is, it can be calculated that it is nothing more than those stakeholders, and it is basically certain that it is the Fujian and Zhejiang gang, and they specially waited until the official ship left Fujian and Zhejiang to the ground in Nanzhi to play this play, and thought that this could avoid suspicion, which proved that it was these people who did it.

When Sun Juxiang snorted and said his opinion, Feng Ziying categorically denied it: "Brother Bofu, I don't agree with what you said, and in my opinion, it is precisely the least likely ,...... for them."

"Why?!" Several people spoke in unison.

"Brother Bofu, these people have been rolling in the mall for many years, and they have a lot of dealings with the local government, on the one hand, they know that they can't do it, and it makes no sense to do this, and on the other hand, they know that such an act will obviously attract our anger and spearhead to them, do you think they will be so stupid? In my opinion, most of them are still some people who have disputes with their interests, and even want to kill them all more likely, this kind of trick to blame others is only afraid that it is not a new trick for them for a long time, so if the Dragon Forbidden Captain and the Cao Gang and the Qiushui Sword Sect fail to catch people for a while, it is enough to show that the judgment of the little brother is basically reliable. ”

Soon news came, if no one was caught, the other party fled away as soon as he missed the blow, and did not give this side any chance at all, and even used several military crossbows when pursuing here, and threw them to the side of the dragon forbidden captain together.

However, Feng Ziying looked at a few crossbows that had been almost sharpened, and shook her head.

Although this kind of crossbow is said to be a customized version of the weapon of the Great Zhou Battalion Army, as long as it costs money, it is not said that it cannot be used, especially in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangzhou, and the military discipline of these guards along the coast is erosive, especially some officers, who eat empty salaries, smuggle, and even collude with the Japanese to rob homes and houses, let alone a few crossbows.

This also shows that people have been fully prepared for a long time, as long as there is no living person in your hands, you have no problem, and there is no place to doubt it.

When only Cui Jingrong and Feng Ziying were left in the penetration, Cui Jingrong, who had not spoken much, couldn't help but say, "Ziying, have you guessed the origin of these people?" What do they mean? ”

Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, but she couldn't hide Cui Jingrong, an old fox.

"Cui Gong, I just have some suspicions, but this kind of thing itself has no basis, it's just speculation." Feng Ziying shook her head, "You can see that too?" ”

"Well, it's true that there is no intention of assassination, and if you really want to assassinate, you won't choose such a place." Cui Jingrong's expression was complicated, "It's just that they do it......"

"Cui Gong, it's still that sentence, I touched the interests of others, although they are all for the imperial court, but they also have instructions from the top, and they have to go back to pay the errand, maybe the children also spent a lot of money to fight for such an opportunity, but I came out like this, and it was destroyed all of a sudden, and the loss was big, how to go back and pay the errand?"

Feng Ziying sighed, "It's just that everyone is in a different position, and they can only do things according to their respective responsibilities, whether they offend people or damage anyone's interests, it's inevitable, only if you understand more, it's okay, and people don't ,...... too much."

"Not too much?" Cui Jingrong was a little angry, "What kind of system is it to act like this?" ”

"Cui Gong, we just suspect it, it's not necessarily them, it's just that they are more likely, besides, it's hard to say that those people who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to take the piece they thought would be carved up as a matter of course, but turned out to be ruined, maybe they and others have already discussed this piece,......"

Feng Ziying carefully considered the words.

It's true that I have offended too many people this time.

Long Banwei's, the criminal department, who knew that this trip was a big fat difference?

There are also those sea merchants, especially those gentry and wealthy businessmen who are just about to enter, just need a group of smuggling businessmen like Gu Yanbing who have no connections and no background to fill in the enrichment, and they have long been gearing up, and even Gu Yanbing and them have long been mentally prepared, and even considered fleeing overseas.

Maybe these people have already made plans with the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, the Criminal Department, and even the local government, and they are waiting for the time to share the food, but now they are being cut off by themselves, and the emperor's order is in their bodies, and the imperial decree is in hand, so they were caught off guard at once.

This loss is decided, but this evil breath has to find a place to vent it, and warn yourself by the way.

Such a calculation, well, seems to be acceptable.

If you are offended, you will be offended, who can easily give up such a large piece of interest?

What's more, on the surface, it was also allowed by the emperor, and he was also doing things for the emperor for the court, so they could only swallow their hatred, otherwise I am afraid it would never be such a simple warning.

Although Cui Jingrong roughly knew that Feng Ziying was planning for the emperor and Denglai, this kind of thing itself had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't get used to such dirty methods.

"Ziying, this matter can't stop here, there must be an explanation, otherwise it will be like this, who will dare to do things for the court in the future?" Cui Jingrong snorted lightly and said, "After returning to Beijing, I will ask the emperor and a few cabinet elders to thoroughly investigate this matter." ”
