Chapter 386

Linghu Dezheng, Wang Hongen and the generals from both sides raised their heads.

In the air, above dozens of wet corpses, a figure appeared on the long black mast at some point.

It seemed like a woman, wearing white clothes and long hair hanging down, covering her face.

In her hand, it seemed like she was holding a child, and the shape and size were very similar to those corpses.

The woman in white seemed to have no feet, and she just floated on the top of the mast.

A gloomy light shone from her long hair and shone on everyone's face below.

Time is shining.

Everyone on the boat was stunned.

In the dark night, it seemed that the air had stopped flowing, and the sound of water and night insects could not be heard.

"Isn't this... that's the 'night wanderer'?!"

"This female ghost from the shipwreck has appeared!!!"

Someone shouted in the crowd.

The bows of hundreds of people suddenly became a pot of hot porridge.

Linghu Dezheng did not move.

He looked at the floating figure of the woman in white and seemed to be a little dazed.

Wang Hongen was also scared and his face was dazed.

But he was the Yangzhou canal transport envoy, and this "female ghost Shenjiang case" is a major event within his responsibilities.

Before, although this case spread throughout Yangzhou.

But after all, this is just a story to hear the surviving ship, the only one who said it.

Even Lord Li and Master Zhao were just inquiring about the case based on the inference of this story.

But tonight, I and so many people actually saw the appearance of this white-clothed female ghost.

This shows that Master Zhao and his team’s inference is correct.

In this case, there is indeed such a female ghost.

So, if this female ghost can be caught on the spot, wouldn’t it be caught immediately? The throat of the case?

In this way, the fact that Lord Li was wrongly accused of making a case is no longer valid.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongen forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, pulled out his sword and said:

"Long guy, our Yangzhou has been harmed by this female ghost for so long.

Now that it finally appears, we just catch it, solve the case, give the people of Yangzhou, and give us an explanation!!"

After Wang Hongen shouted, Linghu Dezheng seemed to have come back to his senses.

He suddenly snorted, and the iron mace also pointed into the air:

"Let me listen to you. If anyone wants to catch this thing, I will give you a reward of 500 taels!!"

Five hundred taels of silver, which is the salary of many people for countless years.

And those soldiers and generals in the palace were obviously different from those in the Caoyao.

When the female ghost appeared just now, although they were also frightened, they were all in a neat way, and they were obviously well-trained.

Now that Hu Dezheng said this, there were brave men under the heavy reward, the soldiers immediately raised their swords and guns and surrounded them again.

Together with Linghu Dezheng, he rushed towards the mast.

At this moment, in the dark night, there was another "ding" sound.

The cold wind blew up again, much more violent than the previous wave.

In the air, the mast suddenly burst out and broke in the waist!

In an instant, dozens of wet corpses fell from the air like heavy rain, with gloomy wind!

This happened too suddenly.

The soldiers and generals were so scared that they jumped away, and were unable to dodge. They were hit on their heads by wet corpses, and fell to the place in an instant, unconscious.

Wang Hongen and Linghu Dezheng quickly retreated.

The two of them looked up at the same time and looked upwards.

In the night sky, the dark moon is gone.

Only half of the mast was left, standing in the cold wind.

The floating body of the woman in white, along with the child-like thing she was holding, disappeared.

On the boat, everyone's hearts were still beating wildly, as if the terrifying scene just now was still lingering in front of him.

After a long time, Linghu Dezheng suddenly came to his senses.

His iron mace suddenly pointed at Wang Hongen:

"Yangzhou's grain transport envoy Wang Hongen, who sheltered the former chief of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, and was greedy for the transport of goods from the ink and the grain transport.

Now he actually sent someone to pretend to be a female ghost to use this to clear his crime, and he was lawless.

The soldiers and generals of the Grand Commander's Office obeyed the order and took them all down!!"

For a moment, on the shipwreck, on the large ships of the navy, all the soldiers and horses of the palace woke up.

A series of bold ships and countless swords and guns rushed up to the people in the canal transportation yamen.

Seeing the situation of the army besieging, Wang Hongen could only look up and sighed:

"Mr. Li, Master Zhao, the errand of the subordinate has been ruined.

I'm sorry to you..."

...

...

"Hey, have you heard of it?

The shipwreck caught a ship and came. I heard that the bow of the ship was full of the corpses of the ship."

"Also, I heard that most of the goods on the ship were gone.

It is said that it was the Chief Secretary **Yu Li who secretly hugged him.

Then he deliberately sunk the ship and created a fake case."

"No way? Lord Li is a well-known good official. How could he do such a thing?"

"Yes, that alive ship was clearly a ship that was sunk by a female ghost.

I have an old friend in the Caoyao. He heard from him that when he was fishing for the boat that night, the female ghost appeared, which was so scary."

"Oh, why is this 'female ghost Chenjiang' getting bigger and bigger?

The people of Yangzhou all rely on water to make a living. If this continues, how can we live..."

Within a few days, rumors about the latest progress of the "Female Ghost Case" spread throughout Yangzhou City.

It is said that it was from the Grand Governor's Office.

The people were already frightened by the case and suddenly they were pulled out, so they came like this, such a high-ranking official.

The whole city was panic and there were signs of chaos.

At this time, in a secret prison cell in the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office.

Wang Hongen was tied with his hands and hung on the beam of the roof.

He had been beaten with a whip and stick for many times, and his clothes were broken, covered in blood and bruises.

Next to it, Linghu De was holding a torture instrument made of bamboo joints. The torture instrument was covered with blood, as if it had just taken off Wang Hongen's body:

"This 'can't breathe in the ghost' was passed down from the torture room of Dali Temple in the Sui Dynasty in the past.

As soon as he gets on the human body and pulls and clamps on both sides, the person will be as if he is grinding and his flesh and blood will be crushed.

And the most deadly thing is that qi.

I just held it in my sternum and couldn't breathe. It was really uncomfortable than death. After one or two rounds, there was nothing that didn't confess.

And Lord Wang, you still held on. Linghu really admired it.

Come on, give me a better person and treat Lord Wang well."

"Slow down."

Behind him, the young recorder, Kong Huailiang, walked in.

Linghu Dezheng knew that this Lord Kong was quite famous and Lord Du also relied on him, so Linghu Dezheng also had some respect.

"Master Kong," he bowed, "Wang Hongen is very strict with his words. But don't worry, after another round, Linghu will keep it and let him listen to his words."

"Thank you for your hard work, General Linghu."

Kong Huailiang glanced at Wang Hongen, covered in blood, and said coldly:

"Let's loosen up for Lord Wang."

Linghu Dezheng was stunned.
