"It turns out to be Lord Qin. I have long heard of you." Earl Ning Hou hurriedly bowed and said.
Qin Yuesheng felt contemptuous in his heart. There was no such position of adjutant in Qingyang City at all. What were you admiring for?
"I came here to look for someone on the orders of Lord Xun. Lord Ning, have a group of officials in official uniforms come to your Antong County before?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"It is true, but those people said they were officials from the Seven Star Supervisor. I have never heard of the Seven Star Supervisor in the Tang Dynasty, so I simply met with them."
The Seven Stars Supervisor was special, so it was normal for a small county magistrate like Ning Houbo to not know about it. Qin Yuesheng then asked, "Do you know where those people went?"
"Those people said they were here to investigate the water ghost incident. After asking me some questions, they headed to the Wujiang River ferry."
Qin Yuesheng asked, "Is this Wujiang Ferry the place where water ghosts often appear?"
"That's not the case. Wujiang Ferry is an abandoned port. A fire that fell from the sky once killed many people. Those people said it was suspicious and worth investigating, so they went. Since then, I haven't seen them in Antong County again."
Qin Yuesheng nodded. This was extremely important news. Perhaps the disappearance of the Seven Star Guardians was really related to the Wujiang Ferry.
Having said that, Qin Yuesheng planned to say goodbye to Ning Houbo and go to the Wujiang Ferry to see the situation.
But then he thought of something else and asked, "What did you mean by a ball of fire falling from the sky?"
Ning Houbo's face immediately showed a trace of fear: "That happened half a year ago. That night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, a fire suddenly lit up in the sky, almost illuminating the entire Antong County. I was awakened by the noise of the servants, so I got up and walked out of the house to check.
I saw a huge ball of fire falling rapidly from the sky, and finally hit the Wujiang Ferry directly, instantly turning the entire Wujiang Ferry into a sea of fire. The boatmen living in the ferry did not even have time to escape, and many people were burned to death that night.
The next day, I took people to the Wujiang River ferry and saw the scene. You can't imagine it, sir. There were charred corpses everywhere, struggling to death. It was like a scene in purgatory."
"This kind of thing actually happened in Antong County." Qin Yuesheng was quite surprised. "Didn't you report this to Qingyang City for registration?"
"Yes, I wrote a letter that very day and sent a postman to deliver it to Qingyang City as quickly as possible." said Ning Houbo.
"Oh." Qin Yuesheng thought that he had only been an official for a month or two, and the incident that Ning Houbo mentioned happened half a year ago. It was normal that he didn't know about it. After all, Xun Sheng would not publicize such things to the people, as that would only cause panic among the people.
Without the same thoughts as modern people, the common people were still very superstitious. Any unusual phenomenon in the heaven or earth would easily make them panic, fearing that one of the gods living in heaven was angry again.
After bidding farewell to Ning Houbo, Qin Yuesheng immediately left the county government office and headed quickly towards the Wujiang ferry.
The Wujiang Ferry is different from ordinary residents. It is extremely easy to find. Just go to the riverside and walk north for half a mile. There is no need to ask someone to lead the way.
With the help of Xiaoyaoyoutianfa, the Wujiang Ferry, which had long been reduced to ruins, soon appeared in Qin Yuesheng's eyes.
