Here, Nalan Jinnian and the others are eating.

There was a lot of noise outside, and the officials at the pier were yelling everywhere, telling everyone to stay where they are and accept the inspection.

After a while, Chen Huan came in: "Master, a wealthy businessman was killed, and someone saw the murderer hiding in the Liu family's fleet. Now the officials are asking for inspections one by one. The servants have asked Mr. Liu and the people from the government to come over. , check our ship first."

This time, the Liu family transported medicinal materials, goods, and food. A total of more than a dozen ships came. At the moment, there are also many goods on board. In addition to the goods of the Liu family, there are also goods from other merchants. It will be troublesome to check!

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

Nalan Jinnian nodded: "Okay."

"Why did the murder happen?" The queen mother frowned and said.

There was some coldness in Nalan Jinnian's eyes, and he said, "It's best to be a coincidence."

The queen mother's eyebrows jumped, and she picked up another chopstick dish for Nuannuan: "Nuannuan, eat quickly!"

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

If you can't even eat this, you will be hungry and warm!

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

Nuan and the others were still eating calmly.

The officers and soldiers in the lead had seen the badge and knew that the person on this boat was a nobleman from the capital.

He said very politely: "Guest officers, there was a murder case on a ship. These people saw that the ship went to a few ships here. We have to check."

Nalan Jinnian nodded: "Check it out!"

Nalan Jinnian said to Liu Xiaoen again: "Let everyone on board come to the deck, let a few witnesses identify them!"

"Yes! Young Master!" Liu Xiaoen immediately responded.

The leading officer and soldier said respectfully after hearing the words: "Excuse me!"

Then he said to the officer behind him: "Search around, everyone, be careful, don't damage the things on the ship! Guys, please go to the deck and recognize someone!"

So the officers and soldiers began to search around.

Of course, no one dared to disturb Wen Nuan and the others to eat.

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

At this time, Wen Nuan and the others had already finished their meal.

The leading officers and soldiers bowed to Nalan Jinnian: "My lord, we have checked and found no murderer!"

The queen mother heard the words and said: "Then can our ship leave?"

The leading officer replied: "Yes! You can go now, excuse me!"

Surprisingly smooth!

The Queen Mother nodded: "Good job over there, thank you for your hard work! The murderer must be caught! How dare you commit murder on a boat in broad daylight, Your Majesty is too abominable!"

"Yes! We still have tasks to do. We interrupted you just now, so we're leaving first!" The leading officer bowed politely with fists in his arms, and then led the people away.

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really a coincidence to look. Well, Nuan Nuan, Seventeen, you go back to your room to rest! These days are driving in the carriage, the weather is hot, there are dark shadows in Nuan Nuan's eyes, it must be Didn't rest well!"

Nalan Jinnian nodded.

Warm smile said: "Mom should go to bed early too!"

"it is good!"

Several people returned to their own cabins to rest.

Outside

After the officer left the ship, Liu Xiaoen quickly directed the helmsman on the ship to sail and leave.

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

It's just that their boat just took off the rope, and immediately someone on the shore saw it and said loudly: "My lord, that boat wants to leave, the murderer must be on that boat!"

When the others heard it, they all looked over and shouted: "Yes! That ship wants to leave secretly! The murderer must be on it! Quick! Stop them!"

"Stop that boat, don't let it get away!"

Several figures rushed over and grabbed the rope, and some even jumped onto the boat, preventing the boat from leaving.

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

The people on the other boats were a little dissatisfied when they heard the words: "My boat has just been inspected! Why can't my boat go, but yours can go?"

"That's right! The official said just now that all ships are not allowed to leave for the time being, and they can only leave after the inspection is over and the murderer is caught! Why can your ship leave!"

People around expressed their dissatisfaction.

The officers and soldiers who were searching heard the movement, rushed over and found that it was Wen Nuan who made the boat and said: "This boat has been inspected, there is no murderer, they are in a hurry, they can go first!"

"Master, you can go after the inspection. Why can't our boat go? Our boat was also inspected just now! We also have urgent matters! We have to go too!"

The official frowned: "Isn't your boat blocked by other boats? How do you get there!"

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

The officer shook his head: "No, other ships are under inspection, what if the murderer takes the opportunity to run to the inspected ship while moving?"

"This is too unfair! My lord, are you not afraid that the murderer will run to their ship and leave after their ship leaves? Besides, the murderer will still run to their fleet! All of our ships will Wait, why can you go first! Since this is the case, we will not wait here anymore, we will go too! Whether the murderer is caught or not is none of our business!"

"That's right! It's obvious that the murderer ran to their fleet, causing us all to be inspected. Their ship can go first, but our ship can't! What's the point of this! Is there any law!"

"Let's go together, otherwise we won't be inspected! We're going to drive away! Who's in a hurry? Our goods are also in a hurry to send back!"

"That's right, we also have urgent matters! Everyone is in business, isn't it true that their Liu family's fleet is particularly amazing!"

The owners of the surrounding ships protested.

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

So at this time, the wharf has a particularly large fleet and many people.

Those men tugged at the ropes that warmed the boats they were in and wouldn't let their boats go.

Seeing that everyone was outraged, the officer boarded the boat where Nalan Jinnian and the others were, and said to Liu Xiaoen with a perplexed expression: "Young Master Liu, what do you think about this matter?"

Liu Xiaoen didn't expect to be stopped by everyone and not allowed to leave!

However, this time there was their Liu family's deadly enemy, and it was all caused by that person.

He said, "I'll go ask."
