Song Zhi did not move.

Not only Song Zhi, but no one in the cabin, whether from the yamen or Wu Angui's subordinates, moved.

They were stunned by Huo Yixiao's sudden attack.

Especially Song Zhi, he happened to kneel in front of Wu Angui, facing Huo Yixiao and Wen Yan, and he was the one who could see the most clearly.

He saw Wen Yan's hand throwing back, his movements casually and extremely light.

He saw Huo Yixiao take the short knife and play with it in his hand.

He saw the sharp blade unsheathed, faster than he blinked his eyes, and the short knife flew out from behind Wen Yan and passed over his head.

He didn't see what was happening behind him, but he heard a thud.

It was the sound of the knife sank into the flesh.

A hot background, a few drops of blood squirted on his back.

Even though Song Zhi had tried some murder cases and executed prisoners according to law, he was still shocked.

A knife will fall, and a life will be born.

The one who died was an imperial official, and was sent by the Ministry of Works to be responsible for the escort.

This matter...

Song Zhi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Now that things have come to this point, he must respond quickly.

This is his jurisdiction. Something happened under his nose. No matter what the inside story is, he must ensure that the situation will not expand.

Song Zhi got up and said in a deep voice: "No matter which side of the manpower is, you can control it first, and then ask someone to reinforce it, immediately, immediately!"

Several kneeling officials beside him woke up when he was drunk.

One person walked past Wu'angui's body, rushed to the deck, greeted the other officials and yamen runners, and the rest controlled Wu'angui's subordinates.

Song Zhi brought not many people, so it was not easy to control three ships.

Fortunately, most of the people on the ship were not "despairmen".

They didn't know the inside story and just did things for the court. When they heard that something happened to Wu'an Rule was shocked, they were all shocked. But since the government was present, it was not their turn to catch the murderer, so naturally the yamen runners would stay honestly.

Those who have a close relationship with Wu'an Rules did not know it was good and wanted to do it, but were held back by the yamen runners.

The other two deputy appointed by the Ministry of Works came down with a calm face and stood on the stairs, looking at the body of Wu'angui below. It was neither right to move forward nor retreat.

Song Zhi had already straightened his thoughts at this time.

The fact that Huo Yixiao can hold the imperial sword means that he is prepared.

His goal is Wu'angui, which is the materials of this ship.

Since you want an axe, give him axe.

If there is indeed a problem in the materials, then Huo Yixiao is doing things for the emperor and finding out the situation. Wu'an Rules refuses to cooperate, and even if there is a problem, it will be cut.

If the materials are normal and Huo Yixiao cannot tell that they are Chou Yin and Mao, then they will follow the rules and detain the people and the ship. The matter will be reported to the capital and wait for the emperor to send an imperial envoy to deal with it. As for Wu'angui's life, it is not a big deal that Song Zhi didn't watch it. It was because the other party took action too quickly and there was also an imperial sword. He, a prefect, could not stop the person who took the imperial sword.

After sorting out the rules, Song Zhi's face still looked bad.

Who wants something to happen to me?

Walking to Huo Yixiao, Song Zhi asked, "Do you want an axe to chop these logs?"

"Yes," Huo Yixiao said, "There are some rumors that the materials transported by Wu'an Rules are not right. I am afraid of alarming the enemy, so I did not investigate them one by one, but used this method to cause trouble for Lord Song."

With such a good attitude, Song Zhi could only say: "If you will send the axe, let the yamen runners do it. If that thing is not easy to work, it will easily break when you get started."

How could Huo Yixiao not know what Song Zhi meant? Lord Song didn't want to give him a murder weapon.

He doesn't care, even if it's better for others to chop.

Such a thick log is difficult to chop.

"Mr. Song," Huo Yixiao said, "It doesn't matter whoever is chopping. There is another thing, and I'm a little anxious."

Song Zhi looked at him nervously.

This person is eccentric and doesn't know what he will ask for.

Huo Yixiao only raised his jaw in the direction of the stairs: "Your short knife, please pull out the knife and wipe it clean. It's hard to wipe it if the blood is dry. It's good to have a good knife, so don't leave blood stains."

Song Zhi twitched his lips twice.

How come the knife is used?

If it weren't for watching Wu Angui kill with his own eyes, Song Zhi would have thought that the imperial sword should be of significance and demonstrated the royal demeanor without any attack.

He told people to pull out the short knife and be careful.

Huo Yixiao then took two steps to the corner, leaned against the door panel, and touched Hei Tan'er's head.

Ebony turned away, glared at him fiercely, and screamed twice.

"What does it mean?" Huo Yixiao asked Wen Yan if he didn't understand.

Wen Yan smiled and said softly: "Since Mr. Xiao is here to be cruel, why did he do yesterday and he still want it to be a pioneer? He has ruined his nails in vain."

Huo Yixiao laughed so hard that he reached out and grabbed the cat's head: "Go back and ask your master."

This sentence clearly leads to the east.

Ebony didn't bother to grin at Huo Yixiao. It looked up and glared at Wen Yan, trying to figure out two profound questions: "Is Wen Yan accomplice for the tiger" and "who is the master".

Wen Yan hugged the cat with one hand and took out a piece of dried fish from the purse at her waist with the other hand...

OK, the problem has been solved.

Huo Yixiao looked at the black cat that was chewing the dried fish happily and couldn't help but smile again.

They didn't want to cheat Ebony yesterday.

This time, when we arrived at Guide Prefecture, we attacked Wu'angui.

The most similar thing about the people in the yamen is to directly ask Song Zhi to ask him for help with his investigation with the imperial knife.

But doing this is actually quite risky.

Wu'angui once helped Zhu Yu with smuggling, which does not mean that these three ships of cargo were also shipped this time.

Huo Yixiao took action in the name of the government. If Wu'angui is innocent this time, they will completely alarm the enemy.

Therefore, he asked Ebony to board the boat. If he could find clues and determine the situation, it would be the best, but it would help them hit it with one blow.

It’s a pity that Ebony’s paws were not famous even though he had made a bald paw.

Huo Yixiao chose to follow Song Zhi on the boat, and then scare Wu'angui.

Wu'angui was frightened.

His anxiousness and anger were clearly expressed.

Huo Yixiao knew that this trip was stable and he could take action.

As for the person Wu'angui...

Huo Yixiao glanced at the body that was being carried up the stairs by the yamen runners, and pursed his lips.

Zhu Yu was hiding his actions from the Shen family, but it was hard to say whether Wu'angui was interested in Zhu Yu or was fooled by Zhu Yu and thought he was doing things for the Shen family.

Huo Yixiao was going to nail the Shen family and Princess Yongshou. Wu'angui would have died, so as not to keep silent about the "Fourth Prince" and "Fourth Prince" that would ruin his affairs with Wen Yan.

Wu'an Rules were transported out, and a thick yamen runner came down with an axe.
