After I was reborn, I became the richest man in the underworld
Chapter 55 Blood Jade 17
Mu Xi's guess just flashed through his mind, but he was really startled by this thought.
In the darkness of the space-time channel yesterday, being held by that big hand made him really feel at ease.Such thoughts annoyed him at the time, but if this was Zhou Nan, everything would make sense.He is used to everything about him, no matter what his status is, what kind of vest he is.
Just as he was thinking, Mu Xi found that he had walked out of the busy city and arrived at the pier.They came in from here yesterday, and this pier is regarded as the entrance to the sky.
At this moment, there was a fierce quarrel by the pier, and a group of people were watching something.
A ferry boat was on the shore, and a man dressed as a businessman was arguing endlessly with the officers and soldiers in charge of registration at the ferry.
The person who looked like the owner of the ship said proudly: "What? I'm just in charge of shipping. As for them getting sick on the ship, there's nothing I can do about it."
The water officer at the pier also looked angry: "This boat of yours can only carry ten people, but now you carry 20 people, will there be no accidents?"
The boat owner didn't take it seriously, folded his hands on his chest, and looked sideways at the scattered corpses on the boat: "It's up to me how much I can carry. Besides, there are so few boats in the sky here, and everyone is relying on their ability to eat. What do you do?" Don’t ask them, how did they beg me when they got on the boat? I said that it’s dangerous to carry too many people, but they insisted on crowding in one by one. It’s okay if you don’t want to take it.”
The water officer became anxious, pointed at his nose and shouted: "You are disregarding human life! You are killing people!"
"Murder?" The ship's boss snorted coldly, "I'm following the rules. I signed an agreement with your government, and I didn't evade taxes. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and accept people, I'm still in a hurry to return to the voyage!"
"You..." One of the water officers was so angry that he wanted to punch him, but was stopped by another water officer.
Seeing this, the ship owner yelled loudly: "Look, look, officers and soldiers beat people! I am an honest ship merchant who relies on my hands for food, and I was threatened by them!"
"you shut up!"
The angry water officer punched the boat boss in the face, and the boat boss screamed in pain.The crowd of onlookers was in a mess, some were passers-by, some were accomplices of the ship's owner, and all of a sudden they formed a group fight at the scene.
Seeing the horrific corpses on board, Mu Xi frowned, startled and ready to cry out.
"Stop me all."
A cold voice sounded.The voice was not loud, but with a terrifying power, everyone had to stop.
Like them, Mu Xi looked at the speaker and couldn't help being surprised.Zhou Feiyang again?
The water officials didn't recognize Zhou Feiyang's skin, so they naturally asked sharply, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just here to pass on a message." Zhou Nan took two steps closer and glanced around naturally
"What are you talking about? Who asked you to deliver the message?" The water officer was furious, impatient with this masked man who appeared out of nowhere.
Zhou Nan replied, "Immortal Yi asked me to come."
"Immortal Yi?"
Hearing that it was Yi Xuecheng, everyone's attitude instantly became a little more respectful, only Mu Xi's eyes were full of doubts.He did meet Yi Xuecheng just now, but spread the word?Why did Yi Xuecheng let him pass the message?
"That's right, Immortal Yi asked me to send this." Zhou Nan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the water officer.
The water officers were suspicious at first, but their faces changed suddenly after reading the letter. After whispering to each other for a while, they said to the ship owner: "From now on, the air regulations will be officially revised. From now on, all passenger ships must kill the passengers." Only after the officers and soldiers have checked the number of passengers at the dock can the boat owner receive the ticket money. One passenger is two taels of silver, and children are half the price."
As soon as the words were finished, the crowd of onlookers gave a burst of approval, and the nurses who had just helped the boatman fell silent.
"You dog officials, don't scare me!" The ship's boss was punched just now. Although the injury was not serious, he felt extremely unhappy at the moment, jumped up and pointed at the water officer who read out the regulations, "Where is that?" Don’t think I don’t know, I am a member of the Ship Merchants League, and this regulation requires the consent of our leader. Your government has been grinding for half a year, but the leader has not signed it. Let me tell you the truth, our Ship Merchants League I will not agree!"
"The leader of the ship merchant disagreed, that was half a year ago. Now not only he agrees, but Young Master Ghost Eleven has personally stamped it!"
"Nonsense! It's a lie!" The boat owner didn't give up, and continued to yell, "It's been more than half a year, when did Young Master Ghost Eleven come? Let me tell you, are you preaching a false imperial decree?"
"Bold! The official seal of Young Master Ghost Eleven can be stolen casually? Everyone, take care, this announcement was handled by Young Master Ghost Eleven." Said Shui Guan showed the announcement of the amendment to the regulations to the public, and the place where the signature was signed was imprinted It bears the official seal of Eleven Young Master Ghost.
The boat owner was at a loss for words for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and then said: "Even if it is true, my boat has passed through this time, and this cannot be counted in the new law! Hurry up and accept people, don't waste my time! Also, He pointed at one of the water officers, "You hit me just now, and I'm going to the government to sue you!"
The water officer who was pointed at was indignant: "Yes, I hit you, and you are the one who hit you! If you want to be punished or hit, I admit it, and I don't regret hitting you even if you go to jail! But don't try to slip away, you killed so many People must pay with their lives!"
The boat owner smiled disdainfully: "Do you have any evidence that I killed them? I just said that these people died of a sudden heart attack. It's not my fault at all."
When they were quarreling, Zhou Nan had already walked to the side of the boat to look at the dead bodies of the passengers.He found that although these passengers died of illness, each of them had dilated pupils and frightened expressions, as if they had been frightened before they died.
Over there, the water officer and the boat owner were still arguing non-stop, and they were about to fight again.
Zhou Nan interrupted them: "Everyone, please be safe and don't worry, there is something strange about this matter."
"What did you say?" The water officials looked at him. After the message just now, everyone knew that he knew Immortal Yi, so his words still carry some weight.
Zhou Nan looked at the ship's owner, then at the horrific deck, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and calmly analyzed: "It's not bad that these passengers died of a heart attack, but I'm afraid there is a reason for it. They should have seen it before they were alive. What a terrible thing, death caused by excessive shock."
The owner of the boat blushed suddenly: "What do you mean? Don't spit blood on people!"
"I'm not empty-handed. Owner of the ship, I want to ask you, why did the facial expressions of the [-] passengers die exactly the same? Also, this middle-aged and elderly person may have a sudden heart attack, but there are still several children What is the probability of getting sick at the same time?"
The water officials became more and more suspicious. They had checked the corpse just now, and they also came to a conclusion. But when the masked man reminded them, they also found something was wrong.
"Hmph," the ship's boss deliberately turned his head away from Zhou Nan's uneasy stare, "It's not like you don't know how dangerous the waterway in the sky is, and the disaster at sea is beyond our control. Nothing else, When they came this time, there was a storm, they had never seen it before, so they made a fuss and scared themselves to death."
The water officer was enraged by these remarks, and scolded, "Why didn't you say there was a storm just now?"
The boat owner quibbled: "You didn't ask."
"Okay, it's useless to say anything without evidence." Zhou Nan turned to the water officer, "Maybe there will be an answer in his boat."
As soon as the words fell, the captain's face turned pale.When the water officer saw this, he knew it and ordered the sailors to ship.
After a while, the sailors took out a large wooden box from the cabin.The moment the box was opened, everyone was stunned.
Inside the box was a big red and black snake.
"Ba Snake?!" Zhou Nan recognized this highly poisonous ancient beast at a glance.
The water official's face changed when he heard the words, and he immediately had the wooden box covered and escorted back to the government for disposal.Of course, the owner of the ship was also taken away together.
After the water officer left, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed one after another, one said to the other: "Now that rogue ship merchant can't escape, smuggling divine beasts is a felony in the first place."
Another person replied: "It's not just that, I think, most of the boat passengers were scared to death by this beast, so the boat merchant will have to bear the responsibility."
A third person intervened halfway: "That's not it, fortunately the amendment announcement came in time, otherwise this profiteer would really have escaped..."
And Mu Xi followed behind the three, with a complicated expression on his face.Zhou Feiyang's operation just now is too similar to Zhou Nan's.He remembered Zhou Nanhui's camping soul technique, which he had used a while ago when he was in the second palace, if the camping soul technique could be attached to the replacement soul...
He hoped that this was Zhou Nan, but he didn't want this to be Zhou Nan.Zhou Nan had gone through this dangerous journey alone in his previous life, and if he still couldn't escape in this life, he would rather face it with him.
Mu Xi wandered around the city for a day, and when he returned to the small inn with a heavy heart, it was already one hour.
Seeing him coming back, Gui Banxian greeted him with a smile, "Have you had dinner, Master?"
"I've eaten, thank you." Mu Xi actually didn't eat, but he didn't have an appetite either.
Gui Banxian smiled meaningfully: "Have you eaten it? The young master even ordered two and said he would keep one for you."
Mu Xi's expression changed, and he glanced upstairs: "He's back?"
"I arrived a little earlier than you, and went upstairs after eating."
"Oh...then I'll eat some too." Mu Xi walked towards the dining table absent-mindedly.
At this moment, the inn was deserted, and Gui Banxian ordered Xiao Er to prepare meals, so he made a pot of tea and brought it to Mu Xi.
"Young master, you don't look quite right, but what's bothering you?"
Mu Xi didn't want to chat, so he just said perfunctorily: "It's okay, thank you for your concern, shopkeeper."
But Gui Banxian wanted to chat, so he sat down directly: "Young master, that young master upstairs...is there any dissatisfaction with our small shop?"
Mu Xi didn't understand, so he said, "Probably not, why did the shopkeeper say that?"
Gui Banxian handed a cup of tea to Mu Xi: "It's nothing, I just feel that the young master always seems to avoid me. I don't know if the poor service made him angry."
Mu Xi thought for a while, Zhou Feiyang seemed to have seen this shopkeeper this morning, so he turned around and left.He didn't care at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it's a bit rude.
Seeing Gui Banxian's somewhat disappointed expression, Mu Xi hurriedly made amends: "Shopkeeper, don't think too much, he's not targeting you, he's just more... less tutored..."
At this time, Xiaoer finally delivered the food.
"My lord, then I won't disturb your meal." Gui Banxian got up to leave, but suddenly spotted Mu Xi's empty teacup, paused, and burst out laughing.
Mu Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression: "The shopkeeper? What's the matter?"
Gui Banxian straightened his mind and sat down again: "My lord, I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I actually know some divination."
The more Mu Xi listened, the more confused he became, not knowing what this had to do with divination.
Gui Banxian smiled seriously, pointed to the tea leaves left in Mu Xi's teacup, and said, "The tea leaves that young master upstairs just left in the teacup are exactly the same as yours now."
Mu Xi looked at his teacup, the tea leaves were sticking to the bottom of the cup, and it was shaped like a sword at this moment.Before he could understand, he heard Gui Banxian continue, "Do you know what this means?"
In the darkness of the space-time channel yesterday, being held by that big hand made him really feel at ease.Such thoughts annoyed him at the time, but if this was Zhou Nan, everything would make sense.He is used to everything about him, no matter what his status is, what kind of vest he is.

The water officer became anxious, pointed at his nose and shouted: "You are disregarding human life! You are killing people!"
