Chapter 205 Who is the woman with him?

  Hearing this, everyone's eyes changed.

The fisherman didn't know what happened, and he said in a spirited voice: "The reason why I remember so clearly is that those who were selected to go pearl fishing at that time, no matter whether they were men or women, could not quit halfway, otherwise even myself Everyone's family will be dragged down, but in fact there are no exceptions. It's just that the requirements of that exception are too high, and very few people can meet them, so it is basically equivalent to nothing, and the man from the Huang family is one of the very few people. "

   "What conditions?" He said just now, Huang Ziqi picked 310 in a year, which should be a lot, Bai Xianyu asked.

  The fisherman said: "Three hundred and eleven a year."

  Bai Li paused, "It's only the last one, so he can choose to quit?"

"Yes, the last one is missing. That is to say, as long as the trip to sea is safe, he can take his own salary and go home for the elderly. If he saves a little, he will have no worries for the rest of his life, and he doesn't have to wander on the sea. It’s not good to do something, there’s no need to fight with your life.”

  Xie Xingyun frowned, "What happened?"

The fisherman had an indescribable timidity towards Xie Xingyun, and his tone was much more respectful, "I don't know the details, but that time the weather was particularly bad, and the storm could capsize all the boats on the shore, but when will we go?" Fishing is not something they can decide, there are people in charge above, so they also went to sea."

"them?"

"Yes!" The fisherman shrank his shoulders, "This is the strange place! The storm tore the sails, the boards collapsed, and it rained heavily all day and night. He died, but the other woman on the boat was safe and sound, and even the men who were rowing the boat were fine, only the man from the Huang family had an accident!"

"It's as if the Goddess of Water is punishing him for his disrespect!" The fisherman kowtowed three times after saying this, "Since then, those fishing boats from other places who moored here have believed it, and we are all ordinary people. , how can you fight with gods?"

   "The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes." Xiao Zheng muttered, "It sounds like an ordinary shipwreck, but this Huang Ziqi is really pitiful. He could have gotten paid and returned home, but it's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish."

It is rare for Bai Li and Xiao Zheng to reach an unanimous opinion, "Yes, there is another younger sister. His sister doesn't seem to be very lucky. Even if she married Jiang Huaiyu as a concubine, but now that Jiang Huaiyu is dead, she will live for decades. It's long, and it's hard."

  Bai Xianyu felt that what the fisherman said was similar to what Xie Xingyun told her just now. This kind of case was not pending, but why did Huang Qishan sue the government, saying that her brother was not killed, could it be that he was killed?

   Now it is difficult to find anyone who understands the situation. It may take some time to find the person who was on the boat with him that day, and it is not certain whether he is dead or alive.

  Why does Jiang Huaiyu care so much about this case? Calculated according to the time, he took office as the governor of Liangzhou at about that time, and it was also at that time that the rule of "fishing for pearls for one day, always for life" was abolished. If Huang Ziqi persisted for a while, he could quit without conditions.

  The fisherman also sighed when he said that, at this time his little daughter ran out and whispered: "Daddy, I want to go pearl hunting too!"

  He glared at her, "What are you picking? Do you think it's a game?"

  The little girl pouted.

   "Another person, what's the last name?"

  The fisherman turned his head and met the boy's cold eyes, "What... what?"

  Bai Xianyu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at Xie Xingyun.

  Xie Xingyun's face was uncertain, and he repeated: "What's the name of the woman with Huang Ziqi?"

  The fisherman thought about it hard, "This... I don't know either, I just know that there is a pearl fisherman on their boat, and I don't know her name."

   "How did you deal with the corpse?" Xie Xingyun asked again.

"There is no corpse." This time the fisherman said quickly, with a bit of pity in his tone, "Poor kid, usually people can still find him if something happens, but that time no one saw his body. In such a situation, Here we are unable to reincarnate, we are drifting on the water, and we have to be buried in the soil after death, so that we can find a good man to be cast in, that man is very handsome, but his life is not very good."

   This is the first time Bai Xianyu has been so close to the country ghost stories. She doesn't believe in them, but it doesn't prevent the people here from taking them as a standard.

   Asking here, there is nothing more to ask. Bai Xianyu and his party bid farewell to the fisherman's family, and when they were about to go back together to make people look for other witnesses, some guards came hurriedly on horseback.

  Bai Li said: "Miss, that is the person I sent to check the whereabouts of the pearl."

  Bai Xianyu regained his energy, the guard approached several people, saluted and said: "Miss, this subordinate has asked the people below to check one by one."

He glanced at the paper in his hand as he spoke, and there were traces of ink on it, "The number in the eighth year of Bandung is exactly the same as that in the tenth year of Bandung, but there is a big difference between the number in the ninth year of Bandung. The number was hundreds more than what they actually received."

  Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes, "Specific."

   "Specifically..." The guard simply calculated, "Three hundred...ten."

   It happens that Huang Ziqi's amount is missing alone, which means that someone has indeed tampered with this directory.

  Bai Xianyu and Xie Xingyun exchanged a look.

  Bai Li was a little dumbfounded, and Xiao Zheng was also very shocked, "How did you know there is something wrong with this directory?"

  Bai Li shook his head, with a complex expression on his face, "I think there is nothing wrong with it. I have looked through every part of the directory for a long time, and I found nothing abnormal."

  If it wasn’t for the fact that the pearls bought by those families could not be counterfeited, I’m afraid they would have missed them. Even if that person had all-hands-on-hands, he wouldn’t be able to deal with those family members one by one, which would be more likely to arouse suspicion.

  Bai Xianyu looked at Xie Xingyun, heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression didn't relax at all, "It should be obvious now."

  Xie Xingyun nodded.

  Xiao Zheng thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes widened, "There is also Qian Shi who pleaded guilty. She should be the one who stayed on the boat with Huang Ziqi!"

   "It can't be her. Qian's background has been investigated very clearly. Although she is from Liangzhou City, no one in the family is fishing. How could she appear on the boat at that time." Bai Li replied.

   "Then who do you think is the murderer?" Xiao Zheng scratched his head, "These people seem to be related to Jiang Huaiyu's death, but they seem to have nothing to do with it. I'm so confused."

  Back to the Sheriff's Mansion, after Bai Xianyu finished his meal, Lu Zhu came in with a few servants.

  As soon as they entered, Luzhu hurriedly dispersed them, lowered her head and said, "Miss, I found the belt."

  Bai Xianyu was a little surprised.

  Lu Zhu continued: "But..."
