Chapter 51 Grievance
Although it is known that if the boat is burned and someone dives into the water, there will inevitably be casualties, but guessing is one thing, but seeing dead bodies is another.

I thought it was bad luck and wanted to avoid it, but I glanced at it, which made Zheng Yingci's face change.

He forcibly stood up, but at this time his body was uncomfortable, he still staggered and took a few steps forward, trying to see more clearly, although he almost fell into the water, he ignored everything and stared at the dead body.

"Is this..."

The clothes on the floating corpse looked quite familiar, and Zheng Yingci was thinking that he was dead, so his first reaction was that the floating corpse in the water was not someone else, but himself!
But after pressing his heart, his reason came back, and this guess was denied.

"The style is Rushan, but the workmanship is a bit wrong."

Without it, the sons of the Zheng family, born in officials, rich and well-off in the family, have their own particulars, how can they let their children wear ordinary fabrics?
Not to mention the rough clothes, they are just ordinary silk and satin, without fine processing, the Zheng family would not let Zheng Yingci wear them, as it would look vulgar and humiliating like a merchant landlord.

Zheng Yingci is now wearing clothes, the material is not ordinary, but the workmanship is actually more refined, it is true, the details are true, and the low-key is luxurious, that's it.

As for the clothes of the floating corpse in the water, at first glance, the material is similar to his own, but on closer inspection, it is not.

But although he could see that it was not him, when he looked closely at the floating corpse, he felt a sense of uneasiness.

"Although the workmanship is not as good as mine, the material is the same. Among the people who participated in the chess match today, there are only a few people whose clothes are similar to mine, and Ziyi is among them. Could it be that the people in the water are among them?"

Before Zheng Yingci could get closer to see what happened, the floating corpse in the water was pushed by a gust of wind and waves, and it came a little closer, and the face that was originally against the light also tilted towards Peng Gongdun.

Zheng Yingci only took one look at her pale face, which was not yet swollen by blisters, before falling to the ground.

"Ziyi!"

That man looked at him, who else could he be if it wasn't Chen Ziyi?Zheng Yingci suddenly lost his voice.

"How could it be you, why would it be you!"

With this appearance, where can there be help?With just one glance, Zheng Yingci could see that his friend was dead and there was no life left.

Thinking that not long ago, he made an appointment to go to the teahouse to listen to the music, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were separated by yin and yang. This incident made Zheng Yingci cry unceasingly, with pain piercing his heart.

This is not only crying about the death of a friend, but also a kind of grief and anger in the chest, although I don't know why, it is also vented out, it is sad to hear it, and tears to those who see it.

As if in response to the mourning, the wind in my ear also whimpered.

I don't know how much time passed, the depression dissipated a lot, Zheng Yingci finally woke up, wiped away his tears, and was about to get up.

"There's someone over there!" Just as Zheng Yingci was about to fish up his friend's body, a strange man's voice came from the lake.

Zheng Yingci looked up, and saw a boat that could hold more than a dozen people was stopping at Penggong Pier, not far away, there were several people standing on the deck, all of them were sturdy, with sharp eyes, looking towards them.

The moment their eyes met, Zheng Yingci trembled subconsciously, and several people were obviously disappointed.

"No, damn it, let him escape!"

"He can't escape, he has been seriously injured, even if he knows how to swim, how far can he swim? There are also people on the shore who set up a net, and he was discovered long ago when he got on the shore. He must still be in the water. Continue to investigate!"

"Damn it, after chasing here, he encountered a painting boat on fire. He didn't even catch many people, and confused our methods. Could it be that his life is not exhausted?"

"Nonsense, even if the fate is not exhausted, I will die now-continue to investigate!"

"Yes!"

The boatman rowed the boat the next moment, and the boat rushed towards the lake against the wind.

On that side, the flames were still soaring into the sky, and more than a dozen ships were moored from far or near, as if they were saving people.

"I don't know where Zhang Modong went, but he's still alive?"

"Although this is Penggongdun, there is no one without a boat. I want to get my friends to come up, but I can't do it. Do I have to call for someone? It's chaotic right now, even if there are people, I'm afraid they won't come here."

Taking a look at the lifeless floating corpse, Zheng Yingci's standing body fell to the ground and let out a long sigh.

Thinking that it is an elegant thing to come to Panlong Lake to participate in the chess game this time. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Both yourself and Chen Ziyi actually only regard today as an ordinary day. How could you have imagined that this ordinary day, Will encounter this disaster?

There was a mess in his head, Zheng Yingci covered his face with one hand, feeling sad in his heart, the mournful voice that had stopped, sobbed again.

"What an idiot."

At this time, someone sighed softly behind the empty space.

This sound startled Zheng Yingci, propped up his body, turned around and looked, and saw a middle-aged Taoist standing a few steps away.

This Taoist has a good appearance and outstanding temperament. He really looks like a master of Taoism.

Zheng Yingci is not a fool, when he saw the Taoist here, he said this again, and he immediately guessed it with a probability of [-]%.

"Excuse me, sir, but you saved me? Then, why did you..."

Why did you only save me?But when the words came to his lips, Zheng Yingci swallowed them down again.

If you really said it, wouldn't you be ungrateful?

But when he came with his friends, he was left alone. This kind of discomfort really made Zheng Yingci unable to hide it. When he spoke, the circles of his eyes turned red.

The Taoist watched with pity in his eyes.

"Could it be, do you think this is just an ordinary fire?"

"Isn't it?" Zheng Yingci looked at the Taoist in surprise, what does this mean?
"You mean, someone set the fire on purpose?" Zheng Yingci's face hardened. If this was the case, he would have to use his contacts to find the murderer. With so many people dead, not to mention death by a thousand swords, he would have to be killed in the afternoon to get rid of it. Get this bad breath.

The Taoist shook his head and sighed: "The monster is rampant, these scholars have a good fate, and they are not likely to be selected for the Jinshi in the future, but they are all broken at this time-you, remember?"

Obviously it was just an ordinary voice, but the last sentence fell on Zheng Yingci's ear, but it was like thunder, "Boom", it directly made Zheng Yingci's head buzz and hurt.

This pain is so familiar, as if there are many familiar and unfamiliar pictures flashing in my mind.

"Is that so?"

"Dragon Lord, it was a waste of you to be sacrificed by one party, but you made waves and disregarded human lives, just for a ridiculous game of chess!"

"Su Ziji, it's fine if you win, why don't you say anything when you come back, just remind me a little, the dozens of people on board will not die—you've been hiding it so hard!"

Holding her head and muttering to herself, Zheng Yingci was in great pain, and when she opened her eyes again, hatred and unwillingness had already flashed across.

He already remembered everything that happened, the chess game in the Water Mansion, he and the others had been to the Water Mansion, met the Dragon Lord, and even saw the big monster!
"Did you remember?" Seeing Zheng Yingci in a daze, the Taoist asked again.

Zheng Yingci was agitated by this question, and immediately bowed down to the Taoist.

The Taoist raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what do you mean?"

Zheng Yingci knew that people have such means, so they must be not ordinary people, and said: "I have already remembered, this revenge must be avenged, Taoist priest, please save me!"

"Oh, you have a bright future. If you enter my door, you have to give up. Are you willing?" The Taoist's eyes lit up, and he asked lightly.

This question weighs a thousand pounds. Zheng Yingci was educated since he was a child, and he went for an official career. Zheng Yingci hesitated.

I just don't know why, a huge grievance suddenly hit Shangxin, as if he was robbed of the most important opportunity in his life by others, his whole heart shivered with pain.

Obviously they are all chess players, they are all ordinary people, but only Su Ziji got the chance to get the favor of the Dragon Lord, and even Ye Buhui, a young girl, has great fortune?

On the other hand, I am a dignified son of the Zheng family, born as an official, familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and has the universe in my belly. How can I bear to be teased like this?
Immediately knock down: "Disciple is willing to part with it, please master to save me!"
