When Xing Biao and others ran to the edge of the hole, Xun Sheng had already disappeared, leaving only an empty hole.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
If something happened to Xun Sheng, it would be a big event in Qingyang City.
"Hurry, you guys stay here and take people to look for the adults. I will go back to the yamen to ask for help." Xing Biao reacted very quickly. He shouted and ran out of the cargo ship immediately.
After Xun Sheng's incident, the assistant officers in the yamen had to come up with a plan to stabilize the military morale.
Xing Biao ran back to the yamen as fast as he could and immediately told the Dianshi, the inspector, the gate officer, the tax officer, the granary officer, the city defense captain, the military defense captain and other assistant officers about what happened to Xun Sheng.
When everyone heard this, they immediately dropped their current official duties and rushed to Gusu Wharf with a large number of people, trying to find Xun Sheng as soon as possible.
…
After Qin Feng returned to the mansion, he locked himself in the study and did not allow anyone to enter.
Duan Hongjin was standing outside the door, extremely worried, but she couldn't push the door open. She knew Qin Feng's character. If anyone dared to go in, Qin Feng would definitely be furious.
Thanks to the Qin family's cargo ship incident, Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin did not notice that Wang Meng had vandalized the Qin Mansion this morning.
Qin Yuesheng, who learned from the servants that his parents had returned, immediately came to the outside of the study and saw Duan Hongjin with a worried look on his face.
"Second Mother, what happened at the dock?" Qin Yuesheng walked up and asked.
Duan Hongjin forced a smile and said, "It's okay, what could happen? Just go and have fun."
"Second Mother." Qin Yuesheng said seriously, "I'm asking seriously. I want to know what happened at the dock. If you don't want to tell me, I'll ask the guards who went to the dock with you. I'm sure they'll tell me."
"You kid..." Duan Hongjin sighed, and had to take Qin Yuesheng to a place far away from the study, and said softly:
"Last month, the master took over a business from a southern merchant to purchase materials. This time, unlike previous deals, he could make a lot of money. So, the master immediately took out four thousand taels of gold and went to Chang'an to purchase the materials, intending to resell them to the southern merchant."
"Four thousand taels of gold!" Qin Yuesheng took a breath.
Four thousand taels of gold is equivalent to forty thousand taels of silver. For the Qin family, this is a considerable amount of money.
"Didn't the cargo ship return from Chang'an this morning with that batch of goods? Who could have imagined that all the goods would be destroyed, and the money... is gone too."
Qin Yuesheng was speechless. It was really hard to comfort him about this matter.
When a person encounters troubles, any verbal comfort is nonsense. Only substantial help can make the other person feel healed.
"What happened to the cargo ship? How come all the cargo was destroyed?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"I can't really say for sure, but there's something wrong with that ship."
"Something's wrong?" Qin Yuesheng wondered. Seeing that Duan Hongjin didn't want to talk anymore, he had to comfort her with a few words and then took his leave.
Qin Yuesheng found a security guard who had gone to the dock with Qin Feng in the morning, and only then did he understand the whole situation.
It turned out that what Duan Hongjin was unwilling to talk about was the human skins scattered on the deck of the ship.
All the crew members on the ship died, not a single one survived. Their fate was very uniform and extremely tragic.
The Qin family would have to spend a lot of money just on compensation and resettlement fees for these crew members.
"Human skin, skinning... could it be related to sneaking?" This idea suddenly popped up in Qin Yuesheng's mind.
The Qin family's affairs are his affairs. Now that the Qin family has suffered such a huge loss in one go and caused such an impact, as the young master of the Qin family and a member of the Seven Star Supervisor, Qin Yuesheng immediately planned to go to the dock to take a look.
At present, Qin Yuesheng has two methods to deal with sneaky and weird things.
1. The sword that suppresses evil.
2. Soul-shaking roar.
Of course, if the sneaky monsters encountered were not evil ghosts, but corpse ghosts, then Qin Yue would have more methods to use.
Whether you're hitting a person or a zombie, it doesn't matter who you hit, the feeling is almost the same anyway.
After returning to his room to get the evil-suppressing sword, Qin Yuesheng called the coachman and asked him to drive the carriage to take him to the dock.
In broad daylight, Qin Yuesheng didn't want to use lightness skills to travel around the city, as it would be too conspicuous.
…
"My lord! My lord!"
The cargo ship was in chaos at this time, and people were everywhere looking for the missing Lord Xun.
However, the captured Xun Sheng seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no matter how hard anyone searched every corner of the ship, they could not find him.
"Where do you think the master was taken? This ship is docked at the pier. Outside are all our people. There is no way anyone could take the master away. This ship is such a shabby place. How could a healthy person be gone just like that?"
Two constables searched the bottom of the cargo ship with knives. Because it was closest to the water, the bottom layer was extremely humid, many wooden boards were moldy and soft, and there was a faint strange smell in the air.
"Who knows? It's already strange enough that something like this happened on this ship. Who do you think was the one who skinned those crew members one by one, a human or a ghost?"
Crunch!
There was a sudden movement of a wooden board somewhere.
The constable walking in front couldn't help but shudder and turned around and shouted, "Fuck you, could you stop talking about bad luck?"
"It's just a casual question, it won't be a big deal..." The man stopped talking abruptly.
