Chapter 205: Exploring the Town at Night
Chapter 205: Night Exploration of the Town
"Xianggong, let's stop here, is there any clue here. Luo Zijin took the prince's arm, and the two of them walked through the streets of the town, as if they were leisurely waiting for dinner. But in fact, Luo Zijin had already guessed the purpose of the prince and asked quietly.
"That's right, Murong has already been here yesterday. Most of the salt shops have already been checked. However, it was all a business on the surface, and it would take a while to track down the place where the Tao family bought salt. It may be dangerous in the future, you must follow me. The prince stopped uncomfortably and took Luo Zijin's hand to explain.
"Wow. I'll follow you. Luo Zijin didn't say anything to be afraid of, just nodded and agreed.
"Good. We'll go back after a little longer. If you see something suspicious, just sue me, don't act on your own. This kind of thing is a matter of life. The prince still didn't feel at ease to explain.
"I understand, don't worry, I'll be careful and won't let you worry. Luo Zijin smiled, she knew the severity of the matter very well. I won't do what I can and do things that harm myself and others.
"Well, let's go. Seeing that Luo Zijin understood so well, the prince put down the stone in his heart slightly, pulled her, and walked down the street again.
After this town, it is the center of the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River, so it can already be called prosperous. It is not a wonder that there are outsiders who settle down here. Therefore, the crown prince and the crown princess walking on the street like this will only be regarded as a loving little couple, and they will only look sideways because of their talent and appearance.
The prince didn't just go to the salt shop to investigate the case. That's too ostentatious. Both of them were smart people, and of course they couldn't have done that. So the whole street is full of shops, almost all of them have been in. But it was getting late. They walked very slowly, so that they did not finish the street, and they went back to the inn first.
When they came back, Murong Shuo and Qiao Zhihan were already sitting at the table. The royal house and Taihang, who were secretly protecting them behind them, also quietly entered the door from one side and sat down at the other table. Wang Wu has always been the prince's guard, and he is actually a person with an official position. Now I have taken in Taihang. The crown princess is in charge again. Let him be the brother of the king's house. In any case, he is not as simple as an ordinary small worker.
Today, the royal house called him to protect the crown prince and the crown princess. Although he still did not sue him. Everyone's identity, but this already shows that Taihang is also the prince's guard. Although he didn't hold any official position, he was different from ordinary servants. Not a slave. Of course, the status is higher than that of Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan. Of course. You can also eat at another table.
Taixing doesn't know other rules, but he still understands the question of whether it can be served at the table. He followed the royal house and served him at the table. And Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan were still busy serving them, and Tai Xing felt very unhappy in his heart. But he also knew that he had no position to speak, so he could only respectfully get out of the way when Xiao Gong came over with food.
Out of the corner of his eye, Murong Shuo saw Taihang's politeness to Xiaogong, and he didn't know what was wrong. It's just a little unpleasant. But he also knew that Taihang didn't think anything wrong about Xiaogong. He slowly relieved the displeasure in his heart, and his complexion gradually eased. However, when Xiao Gong came over to serve the food to them, he still didn't look at Xiao Gong.
After serving everyone and having dinner, Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan packed up their things, and the two of them ate again. However, Xiao Gong is not as stupid as Xiao Lan, and he has to wait until the masters have eaten the leftovers. As early as when she was cooking, she had already coerced and lured Xiaolan to eat some belly pads with her. That's why they can last so long.
When Taihang was at night, he was still thinking about saying that he was going to keep vigil or something. But Wang Wu stopped him, and he hesitated for a long time before he went back to the house to rest after helping Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan clean up the kitchen and prepare the materials to be used tomorrow morning. Murong Shuo was in the room, listening to Taihang return to the room, Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan also returned to the room, he closed his eyes and meditated quietly.
In the middle of the night, everyone was already asleep. In the inn, two figures flew out silently. That is Murong Shuo and the crown prince. Along the way, the prince has been riding in the car, and he has long been tired of sitting in the car. Now that he can come out to carry out activities, of course he will come out with Murong Shuo without saying a word.
Qiao Zhihan originally planned to come with her, but the prince and Murong Shuo left the inn at the same time, so she had to stay behind to protect everyone. As soon as Murong Shuo mentioned the safety of Luo Zijin and Xiaoluo, Qiao Zhihan immediately dispelled the idea of coming with him. Stay obediently in the inn and listen to the movement outside.
Murong Shuo and the prince walked out of the inn, as if they were competing. In less than an hour, they had circled the whole town. But nothing suspicious was found. The town, as seen during the day, was clean and normal. Even as calm as a night in Cognac Village. Obviously, this is a town where people come and go.
Murong Shuo and the crown prince, who knew that there would be no discovery tonight, did not stay long, for fear that they would go back late and something would happen to the inn. On the way back, while running at high speed, the prince asked, "When you came yesterday, did anyone find you?"
"Probably not, I'm careful, and if anyone notices me, I won't be unaware. Murong Shuo shook his head. Thinking back to what happened yesterday, whether it was the people he had seen or the things that happened, he had gone through it in his mind, but he still didn't find anything suspicious.
"We can't hide it from him about our journey. Judging by the route, he wouldn't have known where we we'd been. His news shouldn't have come so quickly. The prince was a little skeptical.
"Not necessarily. He has been in business for a short time, and with his ability, he should have perfected a lot. It is not surprising that there is such a speed. Otherwise, our people would not have been unable to find evidence. Murong Shuo shook his head.
It shouldn't be an inner ghost. Except for the newly admitted Taihang, the people this time are all their own people. Although Xiao Gong was suspicious, he was staring at her all this time, and she had no chance or time to deliver the news. So, it shouldn't be her this time.
"If you say no, then it shouldn't be. It's me who thinks too much. Seeing that even Murong Shuo denied his conjecture this time, the prince remembered what he had just said to Luo Zijin yesterday, and felt guilty that he was suspicious of Xiaogong for a while.
"Don't worry, I'll find out. There must be something wrong with this town as well. Let's continue during the day. Murong Shuo smiled and didn't continue to explain to the prince, but said. What the hell is going on, he will definitely find out. (To be continued.) )
