Daming King of Punishment

"Well, maybe." Song Wuya didn't say much.

This bit of information could not allow him to judge anything at all, so he didn't say much.

Song Wuya knew in his heart that Bai Zhuo was still thinking about this matter, so he pointed to the food that Situ Wen and Xiaohuan had prepared on the table and said, "Brother Bai, don't think about it, let's eat first. After eating, Get a good night's sleep, and we'll talk about this case tomorrow."

Bai Zhuo nodded without saying anything, and started to eat with his head down.

This night's sleep was considered safe, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo woke up early the next day.Of course, it wasn't that the head of the yamen servant came to look for them, but woke up naturally.

After washing up, they called Situ Wen and Xiaohuan, and the four of them went downstairs for dinner.

This Huncheng is not as lively as Nantou County. After all, although there are many people coming and going here, not all of them stay here. Not a lot.

"My lord, miss, what do you want to eat?" Seeing the four of them coming down, the shop waiter immediately stepped forward to ask.

After asking for some random things, Song Wuya and the others raised their heads and noticed the people around them.

The people who lived here were mostly merchants. What Song Wuya and the others didn't expect was that these people were happily talking about the death of the bull yesterday in the early morning.

"Hey! This is really a strange thing! This bull died, what are these merchants from other places happy about?" Bai Zhuo suddenly became puzzled when he heard the bursts of laughter from these people talking about this matter. up.

Regarding this point, Song Wuya was not puzzled.

"Brother Bai, didn't you hear what the second brother said yesterday? This brute blackmails people, do you think he will let these passing businessmen go? I'm afraid these businessmen are not less angry with him." Song Wuya smiled. Said.

After hearing this, Bai Zhuo frowned immediately: "That's not right! If they are fed up, why don't they change to the waterway and get this muddy city out of the way?"

"You're right!" Situ Wen agreed after hearing what Bai Zhuo said.

Indeed, what Bai Zhuo said is not wrong at all, it is completely reasonable.Song Wuya was stunned by what he said.

"Uncle, why do you think they don't take the waterway?" Xiaohuan also asked.

The three looked at Song Wuya anxiously, waiting for his answer, but how could Song Wuya answer such a question, pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of time, they have to stay here overnight."

"Brother Wu Ya, do you think there is something wrong with this waterway?" Bai Zhuo frowned suddenly, and asked with a gasp.Then he continued casually: "When we came, the boatman refused to let us pass. Besides, we came here from the previous place, and it was only half a day."

Bai Zhuo seemed to have got to the point, which reminded Song Wuya of that strange boatman again.

Because of the heavy rain yesterday, he didn't think much about it, but now that he thinks about it, maybe there is a problem with the waterway.

Thinking of this, Song Wuya immediately said: "Let's ask the waiter in this shop and we'll find out."

Just as he was saying this, the waiter came to the four people's table with a bowl of porridge, and shouted: "Four guests, be careful."

After speaking, he gently put the porridge on the table, and then he said "use it slowly" and was about to leave.

Song Wuya immediately stopped the waiter from the shop: "Second Brother, I want to ask you something."

The waiter was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to look at Song Wuya and said with a smile, "What's the matter, young master?"

"How long does it take to travel by water to the provincial capital from here?" Song Wuya didn't ask bluntly, but turned a corner and knocked sideways.

As soon as the waiter heard this, his face changed suddenly: "My lord, it's absolutely impossible!"

"Huh? What can't be done?" Song Wuya put on a surprised look, looked at the waiter and asked.

The shop clerk said unabashedly: "This waterway is impossible! Although the waterway leading to the provincial capital is only half a day, there are water ghosts in this section of the river!"

"Water ghost?" Hearing this word, Song Wuya almost couldn't laugh.

Along the way, they really saw a lot of ghosts.This time the waiter in the shop said that there was a water ghost, and this was the first time they had bumped into it.

"That's right! As long as the passing boats are small boats, they will definitely capsize in the river, so most people dare not go on the waterway." The waiter in the shop talked about the water ghost with an extremely panicked expression on his face.

This scene surprised Song Wuya and the others, Bai Zhuo's feelings really hit the mark, and there was really a problem with the waterway.

If this is the case, then it also understands why the boatman refused to go forward so desperately yesterday.Apparently the boatman knew about this, so he didn't dare approach this section of water.

After the shop waiter finished speaking, Song Wuya didn't finish his work, he asked again: "Since it's a ghost, wouldn't he dare to come out during the day? It should be fine to leave during the day, right?"

"No!" The waiter waved his hand abruptly: "The water ghosts come and go, they can appear at any time day or night, if you are unlucky, you will be in trouble."

"Troublesome? What kind of trouble will there be?" Song Wuya listened to the waiter's words very seriously, and immediately asked.

The shop clerk took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "If you're dead, you can't even find the body!"

Song Wuya didn't believe in the theory of water ghosts, but passing boats would capsize, and there were several possible reasons.Maybe it's because the river is turbulent, or the current creates a whirlpool or something.But one thing is certain, that is, the boat touches the stones at the bottom of the river.

Since the big boat can pass smoothly, the small boat will naturally have no problems.Not only that, in addition to natural phenomena, man-made phenomena may also exist.After all, to overturn a small boat in the river, it only takes a few people to work together.

After hearing what the waiter said, Bai Zhuo was shocked: "Can't even find the body? What happened again?"

"Yes! You guys must not take any risks!" The shop boy warned Song Wuya and the others righteously.

Song Wuya nodded: "It stands to reason that the river comes from the west and converges to the sea in the east, so the water in the lower reaches is more gentle!"

"That's right! The water in this river is not fast, but there have been many capsized boats." The waiter also expressed his surprise at this incident, and it's no wonder that he believed in the water ghost so deeply.

Song Wuya nodded and said to Xiao Er: "Little Brother, go and do your work."

The shop waiter responded, turned and left the table of several people.

After seeing the waiter leave, Bai Zhuo immediately asked: "Brother Wu Ya, I think this is probably artificial."

"That's not necessarily the case!" Song Wuya shook his head and said.

Originally, Bai Zhuo thought that Song Wuya thought the same way, but he didn't expect the result to be unexpected, and he was very surprised: "Huh? Brother Wuya, didn't you always say that there are no ghosts in this world? Why are you Believe it instead?"

"I didn't say that I believed in water ghosts. I just said that the capsizing of the boat was not necessarily all human-made. Maybe it was because of the river itself." Song Wuya explained.

It might be said that Bai Zhuo and the others couldn't understand.After all, in this world, science is underdeveloped, and there are too many things that people find difficult to explain.Even in the technological age, there are still many things that science cannot explain.

"The reason for the river itself?" Bai Zhuo was really stunned.

He couldn't understand this matter, and listening to Song Wuya's words made him very depressed.

"Well, there's no need to worry about this. It has nothing to do with this case, let's just ignore it." Song Wuya knew that it would take a lot of words to explain this matter, so he asked Bai Zhuo to explain it directly Skip this thing.

But now that this matter happened, how could Bai Zhuo not ask if he didn't ask.Immediately shook his head: "This is not possible, this matter is also very strange, we have to investigate, maybe there are gangsters doing it!"

When Bai Zhuo got serious, Song Wuya couldn't stop him, so he let out a heavy sigh of relief and said, "The river water flowing in the river is not just water, there are fish and sand in it, which will affect the river all the year round. It has a great impact. For example, if there is a big fish in the river and accidentally bumps into the boat, the boat may capsize. Or the river surges when it rains, rolling up the stones on the river bed and hitting the boat. It could also cause the boat to capsize."

Song Wuya simply gave a few examples to illustrate.
