He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "What then?"

Xu Shifeng lowered his head and continued with difficulty: "Originally, everything went smoothly. Master Ye also gained the trust of the other party and transported all the food on the ship, and then began to sail to Xingluo Lake. And we In order to avoid being caught by following them too close, they waited long after they left before they went into the water to follow."

"..."

"but--"

Zhu Feng's voice was so low that it seemed to come from the bottom of my heart, which made people feel a sense of depression that was difficult to breathe.

He asked: "But what?"

Xu Shifeng said, "But, just as we were about to enter the waters of Xingluo Lake, the boat suddenly floated back."

"drift?"

"Yes... there is no helmsman, no boatman, that boat just floats on the lake."

"..."

"We originally didn't dare to approach in order not to rush and startle the snake, but after a while, we found that there was no one around and there were not many conditions on the boat, so we hurriedly got on board."

Zhu Feng's hand gripping the arm of the chair harder, almost crushing the mahogany.

He asked: "How?"

At this moment, even Xu Shifeng’s face showed pain. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he had returned to that day. Everything he saw after getting on the boat was deeply imprinted on his In his mind, he has been in a nightmare until now.

He slowly said, "There is no more living person on board."

"..."

"All, all corpses."

"..."

"Headless corpse."

"..."

"The blood stained the entire ship red. Our people got on the ship and saw a headless body."

"..."

"Also, including—"

Having said this, he looked at Zhu Feng with red eyes, and could not tell.

Hearing a "click", Zhu Feng smashed the armrest of the chair abruptly.

Xu Shifeng whispered in surprise: "The emperor!"

The sharp wood dregs plunged directly into Zhu Feng’s palm, but he did not feel any pain at all. The bouts of pain in his chest, whether it was a knife or an axe, was the source of pain that really made him unhappy. He clenched his fist forcefully, ignoring that the wood dregs plunged deeply into his skin and flesh, and even the blood was soaked between the fingers.

Xu Shifeng was both frightened and awed.

Repeatedly kowtow: "The emperor, it is the incompetence of the ministers, and the incompetent ministers, please grant the emperor the sin of the ministers!"

"..."

Zhu Feng remained silent, and only waited until the tearing pain in his chest passed before he took a long breath and recovered his heartbeat and breathing.

Then looked down at him and slowly said, "Why is this happening?"

"..."

"A trap for those people?"

Xu Shifeng frowned, and slowly said, "Master Ye's disguise has not revealed any flaws. Moreover, as all the backgrounds of the grain merchants, the ministers and others have been arranged very properly. In addition, the grains that happened to be nearby at the time were in short supply. There should be no doubt."

Zhu Feng frowned.

"You mean—"

"Weichen believes that Master Ye should have revealed his identity after entering Xingluo Lake, or in other words, after seeing the water bandits in Tiangang Lianhuanwu. It's just—"

"Just what?"

"According to the time at that time and the speed of our boat, Lord Ye was likely to be recognized as soon as he landed ashore."

"..."

"Maybe he didn't have time to make any transaction with the other party, and even the other party didn't spend too much time to recognize his true identity."

"..."

"So, when the ship floated back, the things on it... almost, nothing moved."

"...!"

Zhu Feng's eyes were blood red.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You mean-at Tiangang Lianhuanwu, he already knew he would go?"

"Yes."

"Are you trying to say--"

"..."

Xu Shifeng looked up at Zhu Feng with some difficulty, and said softly: "Weichen suspects that on the court side, yes, there is the other party's internal response."

"..."

"Otherwise, Master Ye could not be recognized by the other party in such a short time, and everyone on the boat would have their heads cut off, and no one would survive!"

"..."

"So this time, Weichen did not take any action against Xingluo Lake."

Zhu Feng took a deep breath, but at this moment, his heart, which was about to be consumed by anger, calmed down.

Even his eyes seemed to be covered with frost.

He said, "Then, did Neiying catch it?"

Xu Shifeng lowered his head: "Weichen is incompetent!"

"..."

Zhu Feng looked at him for a while, and then said slowly: "Never mind."

"..."

"If it is the other party's internal response, it must be by your side, or that it has been lurking by our side for many years. If you can do this, you can't be caught so easily."

Xu Shifeng bowed his head deeply.

"Yes……"

Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then, where is Ye Yu's body?"

Xu Shifeng lowered his head and slowly said, "The boat that floated back was full of headless corpses, and all the heads were chopped off by the water bandits. We only found the corpses of all the people who were sent to the boat. Including Master Ye's."

"..."

"Other people's ministers have already explained that they were buried below. Only Ye Lord's, the ministers dare not move."

"..."

"Therefore, Weichen temporarily equipped his body with a silver head, put it together with the body, and temporarily placed it nearby. After the Tiangang Lianhuanwu has been taken and the head of Master Ye is retaken, he will be buried."

Zhu Feng was silent and did not speak.

But in the quiet study, he could almost hear the gurgling of his teeth.

The hand holding a sharp wood dregs also became harder, the blue veins on the back of the hand violently, and the blood dripped down along the fingers.

After a long time, his cold and **** voice sounded——

"Okay, I see."

Nan Yan was holding Ran Xiaoyu's slender body in her arms. She was the weak person in front of Ran Xiaoyu. But now, she even suspected that she would hold her arm a little harder, maybe Crushed her.

After saying everything, Ran Xiaoyu cried and fell asleep deeply.

Probably more, fainted.

Nan Yan hugged her and lay down, reached out and stroked her thin and sunken cheeks, and brushed her tears behind her ears.

The heart is also heavy.

No wonder Xu Shifeng did not send a letter back to the capital immediately after the incident. It is conceivable that if Zhu Feng had heard such news at that time, I was afraid--

She couldn't even think about it.

Nan Yan frowned slowly while stroking Ran Xiaoyu's pale and thin face.
