No taboos

Chapter 288: There is a Traitor in the Canal Office

An hour ago.

Someone came to the prison cell of the Canal Yamen with the will of that "adult".

Standing in front of a prison door: "Ji Huaixuan."

The man in the cell quickly got up: "I was implicated innocently! Everyone knows this is not my responsibility..."

"Humph! If it weren't for this, do you think you could stay in this prison comfortably? I would have sucked your soul out long ago."

Ji Huaixuan opened his arms: "I am wronged——"

"After all, it was while you were guarding that the goods were lost. You just said you had a dream and when you woke up, the goods were gone. Who would believe you?"

"But it is so."

"Now, there is an opportunity to redeem oneself for one's crime..."

"I do! As long as I can get out, I'm willing to do anything!"

……

The "gulp" sound when Pilong entered the water startled Ji Huaixuan.

He suddenly shrank under a roof.

The banks of the canal are mostly half a foot higher than the river surface.

The dock was built with three-foot-long stone slabs, so Ji Huaixuan heard the sound but did not see what was happening in the river.

There are countless evil spirits in the river at night, so he has to be careful.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the river. He didn't dare to check and quickly walked towards his destination.

This movement startled Pilon.

Pilon raised his head and saw the man sneaking towards the inn where he was staying.

The front yard of this inn is the guest room, and the back yard is the cargo station.

The cargo station is very large, and there are two special warehouses inside that can be used to store "materials".

Anyone who can open such a freight station at the dock has reliable connections in the canal government.

Otherwise, the canal authorities will come to "expropriate" your warehouse every now and then, not only not paying you, but also forcing you to pay compensation if there is a problem with the materials. Who can stand this?

So Xu Yuan immediately felt something was wrong.

This person must not be some petty thief.

Petty thieves don't dare to mess with this kind of shop.

Pilon dived back into the water.

Xu Yuan stood by the window, quietly observing the outside.

Ji Huaixuan arrived outside the inn, walked around the outer wall and went to the back of the freight station.

After knocking on the door rhythmically a few times, the door opened from the inside.

Ji Huaixuan pushed open a crack and squeezed in, heading straight for the warehouse where Xu Yuan and his team's goods were stored.

The people from the freight station never showed up from beginning to end.

If anything goes wrong, the freight station will definitely be able to clear itself of responsibility.

Xu Yuan snorted coldly, stretched out his hand quietly, and two external pills flew out.

Ji Huaixuan was opening the door of the warehouse when he suddenly felt himself engulfed by a sudden darkness.

Then his neck tightened and his whole body was hung in the air.

A dagger slipped out of his sleeve, and he grasped it and inserted it into his neck, trying to cut off the thing that was wrapped around his neck.

This dagger is a work of seventh-rate craftsmanship.

Made of special materials, it is not only extremely sharp, but also specifically designed to destroy evil spirits.

Even if you are haunted by a vengeful ghost, you can cut it off.

But this time, when he cut with force, the thing on the neck not only did not break, but bounced back with great resilience.

The dagger cut a wound on his own neck!
He quickly pulled out the dagger - but the thing on his neck was like a snake, and with a whoosh, it wrapped around his body tightly again.

He opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out a line of fire.

Seventh-rate alchemy practitioner!

He also has a special method of cultivation. The fire in his abdomen is much stronger than that of ordinary alchemy practitioners. It can condense into a line, and the temperature is several times higher than that of a piece of belly fire that is sprayed out.

You can even use condensed fire lines to achieve the effect of "fire knife" cutting.

The Canal Office specifically chose him to do this task, of course because he had outstanding qualities.

The line of fire fell on the thing that bound his hands and feet.

But still failed to burn the thing off.

The thing didn't even twitch even slightly because of the burning fire in its belly. He suddenly realized another problem: he had just been swallowed by darkness.

But why, even after I spit out fire, the flames still haven't illuminated the surroundings, and everything in front of me is still pitch black?!

The moment this thought arose, he suddenly felt something spreading out from his eyes and quickly wrapped around his entire head!
Then it tightened more and more, and he couldn't breathe through his nose or open his mouth.

His entire head seemed to be held in a big hand, and the big hand was slowly exerting force, as if to crush his head.

A deep fear struck his heart: "What the hell is this?!"

Soon he heard the crackling sound of his skull being squeezed and rubbed.

"It's over..."

But suddenly everything stopped.

The thing that wrapped around my entire head opened again.

A vague voice came from the darkness: "Who sent you?"

Ji Huaixuan wanted to be tough, but the other party said, "Do you want to answer directly, or do you want me to extract your soul alive and then interrogate it to get the answer?"

"I said……"

He is not a death warrior and has no tricks.

Xu Yuan knew the answer he wanted, but he also had a doubt: What secret is this guy hiding?
I'm very afraid of being interrogated.

"Go in, take a look, and report back."

Pidanhejindan was quietly withdrawn.

Ji Huaixuan found himself still standing in front of the warehouse.

He hesitated, should he go in?

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and did as the voice instructed.

The warehouse is filled with priceless materials.

But there was nothing they were looking for.

A lot of "materials" are slowly wriggling.

However, it was suppressed by the layout around the warehouse and could not really change.

Ji Huaixuan came out and didn't dare to stay for a moment and quickly came out from that door again.

He walked out for another few dozen feet, carefully watching out for his back, and observed three times in a row - to make sure that nothing was following him, then he quickly went to the treasury of the Canal Yamen.

The Pilong was lurking in the river outside the treasury.

This treasury has not been used since it was stolen.

Ji Huaixuan pushed the door open and someone was waiting for him.

"How about it?"

"Miao Yu's harvest in the mountains this time was enormous. Among those materials, there were even things found on the fifth-rate evil spirits.

But there is nothing we lost.”

"Miao Yu can exterminate the Five Ranks of Evil Spirits? Hahaha." The man laughed, not believing it at all: "These young men from wealthy families only know how to do these gimmicks. I'm afraid it's not his family who's helping him, giving him the credit and making him famous."

Big and powerful families often do this.

Ji Huaixuan didn't respond.

"Okay, your story is over. I'll go back first, you can wait a while before leaving."

"Yes."

In the huge warehouse, only Ji Huaixuan was left.

He walked a few steps uneasily, and after a while he suddenly went out to look around. After making sure that there was no one around, he returned to the warehouse and closed the door.

Pilong quietly stuck his upper body out of the water and looked inside through the crack in the door.

Ji Huaixuan opened his mouth and spat out an external pill.

There is a memorial book condensed inside.

Ji Huaixuan opened the letter and wrote four words on a blank page: I'm out.

Then I waited in the house nervously and expectantly.

A quarter of an hour later, a cold wind suddenly blew on the canal.

A beautiful figure, dressed in the costume of a princess of a dynasty in Jiaozhi's history, walked out of the river step by step.

The dragon had already hidden underwater.

Xu Yuan in the inn suddenly realized: the three nightmare tapirs had no accomplice, but the princess did!
Ji Huaixuan embezzled money from his employer.
