Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 201 There is no most reckless, only more reckless
The huge warship soon sailed to the shore, and the colorful flags on the ship, such as "Daliang", "Danyang Navy" and "Xie", fluttered in the river breeze.

A naval commander wearing Liang army armor and a white cloak, who looked quite similar to Xie Gui, glanced at the river with a gloomy expression, but did not see the person who sent the distress signal.

It was not until he saw the Thousand Miles of Smoke and Waves map in Nangong's hand that his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Isn't this General Xie?" Diwuwei beside Nangong said in a clear voice: "It's true that people can meet each other everywhere in life. I didn't expect to run into the general in this remote place."

"It turned out to be the fifth owner." General Xie was a little embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "I was leading my troops on a routine patrol and saw someone fighting with magical powers, so I hurried over to check it out."

"Oh, your Danyang navy is really quick to react. We should learn from you." Nangong said sarcastically, "Our main force hasn't arrived yet."

"What a coincidence." General Xie cursed in his heart, and smiled awkwardly: "Since the Gou Chen Division is here, there is no need for us to meddle in other people's business."

"Hey, there's no need to be so clear." The Fifth Dimension smiled kindly and said, "Anyway, thank you for your enthusiastic support, General."

"Okay, okay." General Xie hurried down the stairs, but couldn't help asking, "What happened just now? Please tell me something."

"As I should." The Fifth Dimension nodded and smiled, "Just now, our company was chasing fugitives and encountered two evil dragons. We have already arrested them all."

"Really? You are indeed the Gou Chen Division!" General Xie praised hurriedly, and then asked, "Then why didn't you see the prisoner?"

"Oh, our Lord has already brought the prisoners back to the capital." The Fifth Dimension said calmly, "We are the only ones left to clean up the mess."

"Then I'm relieved." General Xie knew that it was impossible to do anything, so he forced a smile and clasped his fists and said, "It's getting late. I will lead the army back to the camp. Let's meet in Beijing."

"See you later." The Fifth Dimension also politely clasped his fists in return and watched the navy warship slowly turn around.

On the warship, General Xie ordered in a deep voice: "Hurry up and report the news to the prince."

"Yes." The soldier immediately wrote down the situation on a piece of paper, folded it into a paper sparrow, and threw it into the sky.

~~
On the river bank, Diwuwei looked at the paper sparrow flying overhead and asked Nangong, "Do you think I should stop it?"

"Don't do such boring things. Do you think there are no people like Xiao Zong in our yamen?" Nangong Bai gave him a look, took out a magic boat from his deerskin bag and threw it into the river.

After getting on the boat, Ren Yuan saw that it had no sails or oars, but had a water wheel at the back. It was very different from the sailboat he had been on before, but was exactly the same as his own Qianli boat.

While admiring the numerous judicial treasures of Gou Chen, Ren Yuan curiously asked, "Why did you change the boat?"

"Sailing boats are suitable for sailing with the wind and downstream. We are going back against the wind and upstream, so this thousand-mile boat is more suitable." Nangong explained patiently.

"Who invented this ship?" He had been troubled by this question for a long time. He always felt that he should know, but he just couldn't remember it.

"Zu Geng, the Minister of Rites," Nangong answered confidently, "He is a great inventor. The Da Ming Calendar that we use now was also created by him."

"Come to think of it, your deputy captain is none other than the eldest grandson of Zu Taichang." Diwu Wei said with a smile.

"Really?" Ren Yuan was surprised and said, "I really can't believe that Brother Zuan has a family background in learning."

"Don't look at him like this now, he was originally a talented student." Nangong said softly: "Later, because the emperor worshipped Buddhism and exterminated Taoism, he followed his teacher Fan Zhen to write a letter to oppose it. As a result, Fan Zhen died and he was exiled. After a few years, he was rescued by General Chen and joined our department." "Actually, General Chen wanted him to be a clerk, but he insisted on learning supernatural powers, and ended up becoming what he is now." She then sighed: "People only know that the Gou Chen Department has great supernatural powers, but they don't know that we are also burdened by supernatural powers, and may even be destroyed by them."

"Be content. At least we don't have to worry about the three corpses and nine insects. We are already very happy." The fifth dimension was very open-minded.

The three were chatting on the boat when A Yao suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked murderous.

"What's wrong, senior sister?" Ren Yuan asked hurriedly with concern.

"Was that group of tomb robbers instigated by Prince Yuzhang?" A Yao asked in a deep voice.

"..." The fifth dimension had a frown on his face. How much time had passed before the elder sister finally figured it out?

"That's about it. Of course, there will never be an exact answer." Nangong replied softly.

"Why?" A Yao asked puzzled.

Ren Yuan sneered and said, "This court is run by the royal family. Do you still expect them to expose their own ugliness?"

"Then there is no solution to this case?" A Yao asked unfriendlyly.

"Ayao, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained." Nangong smiled bitterly, "Just like Ayuan said, the case involves the Second Prince, even General Chen can't do anything."

After a pause, he whispered, "He even had to help cover it up. Don't forget that we are actually palace guards, and our duty is to protect the royal family."

"I don't care. Liu Zhongjun and his fellow villagers can't die in vain." Ah Yao shook his head firmly and said, "If the emperor doesn't give us an explanation, we will ask for one ourselves!"

"Nonsense," the Fifth Dimension frowned and said, "Is this something a ghostwriter should say?"

"Then I'll quit!" A Yao said as she took off the imperial sword from her waist and threw it on the deck. She didn't feel any reluctance, but felt relieved. She didn't like this official uniform in the first place, but she did it just to accompany A Yuan.

"Big sister, don't be impulsive." The fifth dimension was as confused as a bucket. He still said that Ren Yuan was reckless, but in fact, it was this big sister who was really reckless. He quickly gave Ren Yuan a look, asking him to persuade A Yao.

"Senior sister, we promised Chen Shuai to stay in Gou Chen Si, how can we leave so soon?" Ren Yuan picked up the knife and said softly, "We have to keep our word, right?"

"Okay." A Yao obeyed Ren Yuanyan's advice.

"As for Xiao Zong, this revenge must be taken, but we can't act recklessly." Ren Yuan advised again: "We simply don't have the ability to do so at the moment."

In a world where magic exists, the founding royal family must have possessed the greatest power, otherwise how could they have seized the throne?
Not to mention anything else, just look at the twenty or thirty powerful people in the Gou Chen Si, can they really cheat you?

"Well, let's wait." A Yao felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded and hung up the knife.

"..." Diwuwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the brine can make tofu. One thing can conquer another. He also understood why Chen Shuai insisted on keeping them in Gouchensi. If he let them go, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

Ren Yuan calmed A Yao down, but he couldn't help asking, "Master, I don't understand why the second prince would want to rob the tomb of the former emperor?"
