Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2351: Chapter 2350: Conduct a Thorough Investigation

Teng Liu was a bit at a loss, his hands and feet still felt weak right now, and the heavy smell of blood in the room made his head dizzy.

Then he saw Bai Ruozhu take out a needle and thread to sew up the old man’s wounds. How could this be sewn with a needle? It wasn’t fabric.

But he knew Madam had her reasons for doing things. Though frightened, he didn’t speak out to question.

”Teng Liu, do you recognize who he is?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

Teng Liu shook his head, ”I don’t recognize him. Previously, I primarily worked at the food department, and I haven’t seen everyone on the boat.”

”Then how did you find your way here?” Bai Ruozhu asked again.

”Tonight, I planned to secretly chat with one of Zheng Xin’s sailors to ask if he remembered the sea routes. Just as I began talking to him, there were shouts outside that Night Demons appeared, gathering them onto the deck to face the enemy.”

Bai Ruozhu listened as he spoke, having already finished the sewing. She took a small pair of scissors and cut the Catgut Sutures, making Teng Liu’s heart skip a beat and pausing his words.

He realized he was flustered and quickly said, ”Afraid of being discovered by Zheng Xin’s men, I hurriedly hid. Once they left, I planned to go up. Unexpectedly, the ship rocked, I rolled down the stairs from the other side, and then hit the Wooden Wall. The Wooden Wall just fell, revealing the Room behind it.”

Bai Ruozhu thought back to earlier, passing over a Wooden plank, being rather anxious at that time, not thinking much about it. It turned out it was the partition that blocked this secret Room.

”This person can be locked up here instead of being directly killed; he must be some Key figure. But today his wound...” Bai Ruozhu squinted her eyes, suspicious that the other party believed he was no longer needed.

Teng Liu was a bit worried, ”Madam, what should we do? Rescuing him will definitely anger Zheng Xin. If we turn against him now, what about the subsequent sea journey?”

Bai Ruozhu frowned, also in a difficult position. A sea voyage takes a long time; they might not find the Island of the Merfolk Clan on the first attempt. Achun didn’t have much time to squander.

But neither she nor Achun could allow Zheng Xin to continue running amok, especially when watching him execute Private justice to take lives.

At this moment on the deck, everyone watched as Jiang Yichun jumped down, shocking them. Zheng Xin then smiled triumphantly, a mere third-rank officer, dying at sea was just dying.

Jiang Yichun appeared as a swallow, his body unusually light, grabbing hold of the Ship ropes and protrusions several times, and quickly reached the sea surface.

He took out the Drug Powder Bai Ruozhu gave him, feeling the spread of the Blood in the sea, and then scattered the Drug Powder, reaching out to control it, letting the mixed water expand towards the direction of the Blood.

At this moment, the Whale’s back surfaced again, spraying a lot of Water.

Jiang Yichun jumped upwards to avoid the Water Vapor. He didn’t linger and quickly jumped back onto the deck.

He gave Gao Zhou and the others a look, saying, ”You guard here first, I’ll go fetch Ruozhu.”

Gao Zhou noticed his unusual expression, immediately understanding his intention, saying, ”You go ahead, don’t worry.”

Zheng Xin squinted his eyes, ”Officer Jiang, what do you mean by this? Not letting us out? Keeping us here to feed the Midnight Demons?”

With those words, all the ship workers and sailors panicked.

Jiang Yichun sneered, ”Are you questioning me? Are you even worthy? Did we surround you with Swords threatening you? Instead, you’re the one sowing discord, right?”

”Then why can’t we get out?” Zheng Xin yelled angrily.

Fo Lanying disdainfully commented, ”Didn’t you call everyone to the deck to help? Why would anyone want to go down? Are you hiding something disgraceful?”

”You...” Zheng Xin was furious, ”What kind of tricks are you playing, not letting us attack the Midnight Demons and preventing us from going down, isn’t it a conspiracy?”

The Whale’s spraying sound came again but seemed more distant.

Someone excitedly shouted, ”The Midnight Demons are gone!”

Zheng Xin gritted his teeth, ”Shut up! Keep a close watch, in case it circles around to attack again.”

Everyone stared intently at the sea surface, even Zheng Xin unwillingly kept his eyes on it. Seeing this, Jiang Yichun quickly headed into the Ship Cabin, rushing downstairs.

Once inside, he nodded at Bai Ruozhu, ”It’s done, that big fish should be gone now.”

Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”That’s good, but what about this person? Afraid we can’t keep the rescue a secret anymore.”

”Then don’t keep it a secret, anyway, I just fell out with Zheng Xin on the deck.” Jiang Yichun explained simply.

”Hmph, Zheng Xin is too arrogant. Let’s take him away now, and search the entire boat for any private torture chambers.” Bai Ruozhu squinted, ”We can’t prove he did it yet, but once we search, he will surely take action, then we’ll have evidence to convict him.”

”Alright, if he refuses to guide us, we’ll find a way. I don’t believe everyone on the boat lacks experience. Even if they fear him, they wouldn’t put their lives on the line.” Jiang Yichun said.

Their thoughts always aligned, Bai Ruozhu happily nodded, asking Teng Liu to help Jiang Yichun assist the severely injured old man upstairs.

As soon as they reached the deck, Zheng Xin’s deputy’s face turned pale instantly, while Zheng Xin’s eyes showed killing intent.

Bai Ruozhu coldly smiled inside, this was murderous intent directed at them, but unfortunately, this time he’s going to hit the Iron plate.

”The Midnight Demons you mentioned are actually large fish in the sea. They usually don’t actively attack ships, but the ship’s externals are decorated with many fish, and beneath the ship, leaking Blood stimulated them to attack our ship. Upon inspection, we found a secret room at the bottom of the Ship Cabin where Private justice was used, and this old man spilled too much Blood.”

Bai Ruozhu spoke while glaring at Zheng Xin.

”This is an official ship, not a pirate’s ship. There’s Law in Danliang! Call the Shipping Department out and investigate thoroughly to see who’s responsible!”

Jianqi immediately went down the Ship Cabin; the officer of the Shipping Department wouldn’t dare face threats and get on the deck.

Zheng Xin squinted at Bai Ruozhu, ”What does Officer Bai mean? Keeping us here today and bringing a dead man for trouble? Who can prove the man wasn’t deliberately harmed by you?”

Hearing this, Teng Liu hurriedly said, ”I can prove it. When we found this person, he was already near death, the Room was filled with Blood, and it was Officer Bai who saved him.”

Zheng Xin glared fiercely at Teng Liu, almost opening his mouth to threaten, but Bai Ruozhu and the others were still there, and Zheng Xin was indeed too arrogant!

Teng Liu straightened his chest, calmly facing Zheng Xin’s malignant gaze, saying, ”My words are all true, otherwise I will meet my end in the belly of fish, not die a good death!”
