Chapter 585 Enlightenment
After this servant finished speaking, other servants followed suit and talked about the situation at that time.
The situations they described were all similar. Basically, their young masters boarded the boat after seeing the flower boat.
Some boarded the boat by themselves, and some took one or two servants with them. Regardless of whether they boarded the boat alone or with servants, they never returned.
Ye Chengzong frowned when he heard these words. Based on his many years of experience, these people should not have lied, but when did a flower boat appear in the Wen River?
If there really was such a flower boat, there was no reason for him, as the county magistrate, not to know about it, right?
After all, although Guobei County had a large population, most of them were grassroots people, and the economy was not developed. Therefore, Guobei County's entertainment projects were also very limited. Ye Chengzong knew very well what entertainment projects Guobei County had.
Ye Chengzong knew very well whether there were flower boats in the Wen River.
"Come here, go to the homes of residents near the Wen River and ask if anyone has seen a rowing boat?"
The yamen runner received the instruction and immediately went to ask, while Ye Chengzong continued to learn about the situation with these people.
About half an hour later, the sent-out yamen runners came back: "Sir, I asked the people near the Wen River, and they all said they had never seen any flower boats."
At this time, the servants of the young masters said one after another: "Sir, everything we said is true. There is really a flower boat on the Wen River."
Ye Chengzong listened, waved his hand, and said: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say you were lying, Brother Chu, what do you think is going on?"
Chu Han said slowly: "These servants don't seem to be lying, and the people near the Wen River have no reason to deceive you, the parent official, so I'm afraid there is something wrong with this flower boat."
Ye Chengzong nodded and said: "I think so too, do you remember when you saw the flower boat?"
"Three quarters of midnight."
"At midnight."
"One quarter of midnight."
The time when these young masters saw the flower boats was different, but basically it was after midnight.
In the Shenlong Dynasty, although there was no curfew, ordinary people worked from sunrise to sunset.
They don't have the spare money to eat, drink and have fun like those young masters, and there are demons and ghosts at work.
Let alone the midnight, there are basically no ordinary people outside at the midnight, and they go home early.
Therefore, it is normal that these young masters saw this flower boat, but ordinary people nearby did not see it.
After understanding it, Ye Chengzong said: "Brother Chu, it seems that you need to help this time."
Chu Han smiled and said: "Dealing with these demons and ghosts is the function of the evil suppression department."
Ye Chengzong smiled and said: "It's a small flower boat, and the silver order envoy was dispatched. It seems that it's killing a chicken with a butcher knife."
This flower boat must have a big problem. Although the daily life of the people is different from those young masters who eat, drink and have fun, the flower boat cannot be seen in the middle of the night.
But a normal flower boat cannot appear at night and then mysteriously disappear in the daytime. After all, the speed of the ancient flower boat is not very fast.
Immediately, Chu Han wanted to go to Wenhe to see the situation. Ye Xuan didn't want to go there at first.
However, Su Mengli seemed very interested in these monsters and ghosts, so she decided to go and have a look together, and Ye Xuan followed to join in the fun.
Soon, the group arrived at the Wen River. Some people were washing some clothes by the river. There were also several small boats and some boatmen on the river, but there was no sign of the large rowing boat they mentioned.
Chu Han took out a compass from his body, and the compass started to rotate. After a moment, the compass pointed to the center of the Wen River.
Chu Han said, "Sure enough, there is a ghost. Since this flower boat committed a crime last night, it will definitely appear again today. I will go to find out what happened then."
After hearing what Chu Han said, Chu Xiamo seemed very excited: "Dad, I want to go too. I want to kill the demons!"
Chu Han immediately frowned and said, "You are a girl from a wealthy family. You will get married in the future. What demons are you going to kill?"
Chu Xiamo bent her right arm and showed her biceps: "Dad, what kind of lady am I? Look at my arm. I can kill the demons with one punch!"
Chu Han looked at his muscular daughter and was speechless.
At this moment, Lin Qiaozhu suddenly said: "Chu Yinling, my daughter is also extraordinary. Why don't you let her go on the flower boat to see, maybe she can help you."
As soon as Lin Qiaozhu said this, Ye Chengzong immediately said: "Madam, what are you talking about? There are monsters on this flower boat, how can you let Mengli get on the boat?"
Chu Han also said immediately: "Yes, sister-in-law, this kind of thing is life-threatening, you can't joke about it!"
Lin Qiaozhu said solemnly: "I'm not kidding, Mengli, show your methods to your uncle Chu!"
Lin Qiaozhu thought about it and decided to tell the Silver Order of the Suppression of Evil Division about Su Mengli's specialness.
Joining the Suppression of Evil Division is certainly dangerous, but Su Mengli can also really get in touch with the outside world.
From childhood to adulthood, Su Mengli stayed at home and stuck with her brother Ye Xuan, and she saw too little of the world.
Perhaps because Ye Xuan occupied too much of her life, she couldn't leave her brother.
Therefore, Lin Qiaozhu wanted Su Mengli to see the vast world and meet more people, and then she would naturally understand.
Her original idea was actually very naive and ridiculous, and naturally, she would not clamor to stay with her brother.
By then, Mengli will have her own place to belong, and her son will be able to find a lover.
Ye Chengzong was about to say something when Su Mengli started to show off.
Su Mengli snapped her fingers, and then a ball of scorching flames appeared above her palm.
Chu Han was stunned for a moment before saying, "Chengzong, I didn't expect your daughter to have such a talent. Why did you keep it from me?"
Ye Chengzong sighed and said, "Brother Chu, you know the crisis of the Evil Suppression Division better than me. You don't want Xiao Mo to slay demons and monsters, but hope that she will get married soon. Why would I want my daughter to take risks?"
Lin Qiaozhu listened to her husband's words and said righteously, "Husband, you are wrong.
If all the talented people in the world agree with your ideas, then no one will join the Evil Suppression Division, and there is no need for the Evil Suppression Division to exist. Just let the demons and monsters wreak havoc on the people.
You are a county magistrate, why is your awareness not as high as that of a woman like me?
Since Meng Li has this talent, let her use her ability to do something for the people. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"
