Chapter 7

The depth of Zhang River

———————————————————

......

Ximen Bao, recorded in historical books, should not believe that ghosts and gods exist.

But that's what the words express.

When a living Ximen Bao stood in front of Ankang, hesitating when facing his words "You can trust the existence of ghosts and gods."

6Ankang already knows the answer.

He did not force Ximen Bao to give himself an answer. The man-made Lu Yin he took out first showed him Ankangjun's document and then gave him the document of returning home.

Ximen Bao was still amazed at how this document changed, and 6 Ankang took it back and told him: "Sir, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained clearly, and they do not need to be explained clearly!"

Because now, since they have met, 6 Ankang has to start preparing for the crisis incident in Ximen Bao a few days later.

Just when 6 Ankang was about to tell Ximen Bao about what might happen in a few days, Ximen Bao suddenly said firmly:

"I don't believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world!"

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

The next sentence from Ximen Bao made 6 Ankang understand the meaning of his words: "I cannot believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world!"

He added the word "can" for the second time.

There is a difference between ‘not believing’ and ‘not believing’.

He is a man who wants to lead Ye to prosperity. If he even believes it, then how can he break it?

6 The problem of Ankang was an accident for Ximen Bao.

Because it was too sudden, he couldn't figure out what the purpose of the young man in front of him was?

But judging from his slightly thoughtful look, he seemed to be making a decision, and this decision seemed to be related to himself...

Ximen Bao is a smart person.

He is also a rational person, and rational people rarely believe in intuition. But at the moment, he looks at 6 Ankang. This young man is in prison and can still ask such strange and meticulous questions without hesitation.

Ximen Bao couldn't help but wonder: "You..."

As for what he wants to ask?

6 Ankang knew better, but it was easier to answer his question directly, than to change another simpler sentence: "Ximen Bao, who threw himself into the water, broke his superstition in the Zhang River. However, seven days later, the water of the Zhang River was cold, and evil spirits were in chaos, and Ximen Bao died."

Ximen Bao was naturally stunned when he heard the words.

What is the content of this sentence?

Will you curse yourself to die in seven days?

Although Ximen Bao did not show any anger, his face was not good-looking either.

6Ankang told Ximen Bao: "This is the news I got yesterday! It is also the purpose of my trip!"

"Seven days later, the water of Zhang River is cold and evil spirits are in chaos..."

Just as Ximen Bao murmured, thinking about what Ankang said just now.

Outside the cell, a guard heard his panic before he could see him:

"Sir, it's not good! Something happened to Zhanghe!"

This unexpected sound is undoubtedly a timely rain for 6 Ankang.

Ximen Bao subconsciously looked at 6 Ankang, and then turned his gaze to the guard who came to report the news: "What's wrong?"

The guard said anxiously: "Fish! Many fish in the Zhang River are dead!"

"The fish is dead?"

Ximen Bao urged the guard to lead the way: "Take me to check it out!

Suddenly I thought of 6 Ankang behind me.

As of now, what is the identity of the young man in front of him, it is not yet known.

But Ximen Bao still made a very bold decision: "Are you willing to go?"

It takes courage to ask a person who is suspected of a fraudster to investigate the scene together.

6 Ankang smiled and said, "As long as lord is not afraid that I will run away, I will naturally be willing!"

He naturally went there, but it was not so easy, his hands and feet were tied up to avoid the possibility of escaping.

.........

On the bank of Zhang River.

As the guard said, there was a strange scene on the surface of the Zhang River at this moment.

Hundreds of river fish have become corpses floating on it, all of which are fish white to the sky. From a distance, it looks like a strange human face. But the human face is broken a stone.

Ximen Bao turned his head and looked at the source of the stone - 6Ankang.

6 Ankang smiled jokingly: "I just see if these fish are really dead!"

Under the guidance of the guards, Ximen Bao walked around the case area twice. This place was not far from the last place where He Bo was worshipped, which inevitably reminded people whether it would be related to the previous incident.

But no one dared to say this speculation directly, especially Ximen Bao and others could not say it.

A personal soldier next to Ximen Bao said, "Is it possible that someone poisoned the river?"

The other personal soldiers also felt that it was very likely, otherwise how could so many fish die in one go?

At this moment, Ximen Bao and others were not just on the bank of Zhang River. After hearing the news, the nearby villagers who rushed over saw the scene of dead fish on the river, their face turned pale and they knelt on the ground.

More than thirty people kept knocking at the dead fish in the river. While praying, they shouted: "It must be He Bo who is angry! He Bo is angry!"

As the shouts grow louder, news on the river bank should soon spread.

Ximen Bao's personal guard stepped forward and angrily scolded those who bowed: "Don't let the bold and unruly people be here to deceive the public!"

"Sir! It doesn't matter if you offend He Bo yourself! Don't implicate us!"

An old man begged to Ximen Bao, who was escorted by the guards, "We ordinary people still have to live by the water of the Zhang River!"

Faced with this scene, Ximen Bao remained calm and straightened his back. At this moment, he could not bow his head. He lowered his head, and then everything he had done before would be wasted.

Ximen Bao said calmly: "There must be something strange about this matter. I will send someone to investigate it immediately!"

Just when the two sides still have a dispute.

A light voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two sides.

"Poisoning is impossible!"

Liu Ankang, who had just washed his face by the Zhang River, walked over with a wet face. His seemingly unintentional washing of his face proved that Ximen Bao was not poisoned in the river. He walked to Ximen Bao, pointed to Zhang River and asked, "The Zhang River is so big, how many poisons do you have to put to kill so many fish? What's more... Look at the river, aren't there still other fish that are alive? It's just that some fish are unlucky to encounter something!"

Ximen Bao asked, "What did you encounter?"

6 Ankang pointed at the two personal soldiers beside Ximen Bao and explained: "Go to the river to catch some dead fish!"

After receiving Ximen Bao's permission, the two personal soldiers took a raft and paddled to the middle of the river, caught a net of dead fish, and came back soon.

From their nervous expressions, we can see that they also seemed to be afraid that there would be some angry Hebo in the river.

6 Ankang sneered: "Don't be nervous. He Bo is angry. If you want to settle the score, you will be looking for your elders, and you won't look for you!"

When Ximen Bao heard this, his personal soldiers wanted to teach Ankang a lesson, but they stopped Ximen Bao.

Everyone looked at 6 Ankang, pulled off a few pieces of fabric from their bodies, wrapped their hands, and slowly reached into the fishing net. After picking up the fishing net for a long time, they picked up a fish, pointed to the fish's mouth, and asked Ximen Bao and others to observe: "Look at what this is?"

Ximen Bao looked closer and said, "It seems to be skinny..."
