Chapter 410 Old Dragon Ship Household

When Zhu Huiyin served as the governor of Guangdong, there were frequent murders here. When traveling to and from business, he is often killed for no reason and does not see the body. There are more than 100 such cases. Zhu Huiyin was very anxious, but the method was exhausted, and it was always difficult to capture the real murderer. In desperation, he fasted and bathed, and went to the City God Temple to pray.

At night, Zhu Huiyin went to bed and rested. In his dream, he saw a man holding a spat board and an official dressed up. Zhu Huiyin thought he was from the court and asked, "What position does Brother Tai hold?" The man said, "I'm Liu, the city deer." Zhu Huiyin was overjoyed and knew that it was an immortal. He asked, "Your Excellency, what do you have to say?" The man said, "There is snow on the sideburns, clouds in the sky, floating wood in the water, and the door on the wall."

Zhu Huiyin frowned and meditated. After a long time, he suddenly realized: "The snow on the sidelines, the word 'old'; the sky is full of clouds, the word 'dragon'; the floating wood in the water, the word 'boat'; the door on the wall, the word 'house' is also. Isn't it a 'old dragon boatman'?

It turns out that there are two rivers in the northeast of Guangdong Province, a small ridge and a blue pass, both of which originate from Laolongjin and lead to the South China Sea. Due to the smooth waterway and low price, most foreign merchants go to Guangzhou by boat here.

With this in mind, Zhu Huiyin immediately recruited the government officials, gave them face-to-face instructions, and ordered them to go to Lao Longjin to arrest the boatman. He arrested more than 50 people one after another. After some interrogation, all of them pleaded guilty. It turned out that in the name of the ferry, these people coaxed the merchants to get on the boat, or drugged, or smoked, stunned the guests, took away the money, then cut open their stomachs, put them in the boulder, and sank the corpses under the water.

The injustice was clear, and the people were jubilant. They compiled Zhu's deeds into songs and sung them widely.
