Chapter 63: Wang Heng is missing
A few people returned home to study it, and decided to let Sima Nan and Sima Tan, who were more skilled, and Lin Ruochen, who had a more flexible brain, come forward to investigate together, and the rest stayed in the inn and waited for news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In terms of personnel, it is easier to discuss, and the difference of opinion is that Sima Tan wants to go out during the day, but Lin Ruochen feels that the people who operate secretly are active at night, so he hopes to recharge his energy in the inn during the day and go out to investigate at night.
As a result, everyone stood on Lin Ruochen's side, Sima Tan could only hold on hard, and the Ten Princes laughed at Sima Tan for a long time, feeling that he was so timid that he didn't dare to go out at night.
Sima Tan didn't care about the ridicule of the Ten Princes, because he was indeed a little scared, for him who had not been to the school for a few days, what had happened in the past two days was indeed outrageous, so outrageous that he believed that all this was under the command of gods and ghosts.
Lin Ruochen insisted on pulling Sima Tan, on the one hand, he wanted to find out the truth, and on the other hand, he wanted Sima Tan to know that there were no ghosts in the world, and everything was caused by man.
After dark, Sima Tan and Sima Nan changed into light clothes and walked on the street again with Lin Ruochen. The streets were still as deserted as last time, and they felt creepy.
If there was any difference from the last time, it was that they didn't see any suspicious fences in the alley, not even the one they saw last time. Several people searched for a long time, but still ended in failure. At this moment, Lin Ruochen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Not good!" Lin Ruochen shouted, "Let's go back quickly, the target may be the Ten Princes!"
The three of them ran towards the inn quickly, and when they reached the door, they felt that it was a waste of time to even knock on the door, so they directly slammed the door open, and then rushed towards the room of the Ten Princes.
"Oops!"
The Ten Princes just opened the door and saw that Sima Tan was already unable to dodge when he rushed over, so he was thrown to the ground by Sima Tan. The sound of falling to the ground came out clearly, and Sima Nan and Lin Ruochen hurriedly helped the two of them up.
"Why are you running so fast? Do you already know?" The Ten Princes not only did not get angry, but looked at the three of them with surprised eyes, and the three of them were even more puzzled, what do you mean to know?
"What do you know?" Lin Ruochen asked the Ten Princes.
The Tenth Prince frowned, "Don't you know? I thought you knew about your uncle's disappearance!"
"What?" Lin Ruochen turned his head and walked into his uncle's room, only to see that the room was empty.
"When did he disappear? There are so many people here, doesn't anyone know?" Sima Nan turned his head to look at the Ten Princes, wanting to know some useful clues from his mouth.
The Tenth Prince shook his head and explained to the three of them: "Strictly speaking, he is not missing, because he went out on his own, and someone came to the door and handed him a letter, indicating that he wanted to check it in person. After reading it, he said to me that if he hadn't come back for half an hour, he would let me go to Brother Lin and give the letter to Brother Lin to read it. ā
Lin Ruochen stretched out his hand, "What about the letter?"
The Ten Princes took out the letter from his body and handed it to Lin Ruochen, who quickly opened it and found that there were only a few simple words in the letter: Eighth Alley!
Sima Tan also saw a few words on the note when he got closer, but he didn't understand it, so he had to turn around and ask Sima Nan beside him, "What does the eighth alley mean?"
How could Sima Nan know that although he was not far from here, he had hardly any contact with the people in this city. Although there are a few people who have met and can say their names, they are only nodding acquaintances.
Lin Ruochen walked downstairs with a note, stopped the shopkeeper who happened to be passing by, and asked him what the content on the note meant, is there an eighth alley here?
The shopkeeper did not hesitate to tell Lin Ruochen that the alleys here have no names, so in order to make it easier for the locals to remember, they marked them, starting from the first alley, followed by the second and third......
"From which side to start?" asked Sima Tan.
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to answer, Lin Ruochen took out a full five taels of silver from his sleeve, and then handed it to the shopkeeper, "Take us to the eighth alley, these five taels of silver are yours!"
Xiao Er waved his hand again and again when he heard this, although five taels of silver was almost his income for nearly two years, but if he lost his life because of this, what was the use of asking for money?
Lin Ruochen didn't expect Xiao Er to refuse, he thought that he had paid a lot of money, and Xiao Er should agree immediately!
Without waiting for Lin Ruochen to open his mouth to add money, another big man next to him, Xiao Er, came over and smiled at Lin Ruochen.
Lin Ruochen opened his mouth and asked, "Are you willing to go?"
The big man nodded and said to Lin Ruochen: "My mother is not in good health and needs a lot of medical expenses, if you can give me the money first, I will take you there." ā
Lin Ruochen nodded in agreement without hesitation and handed the silver to the big man. After the big man got the money, he didn't ask to send the money home, but just asked the boss to send the money to his home, and he himself led Lin Ruochen and the others out of the inn with the determination to die.
Lin Ruochen didn't expect that this big man who looked stupid turned out to be a filial son.
"How old are you this year?" Sima Nanlu opened his mouth to chat with the big man in order to relieve his tension.
The big man sighed, and then told Lin Ruochen that he was almost fifty years old this year, and his son felt that he was a burden, so he put him at home, and went to the capital to enjoy the blessings.
"What's your son's name?" the Tenth Prince interjected, he felt that he often saw high-ranking officials in the palace, and if he said his name, he might have an impression.
"My son's name is Cowboy and he Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old. ā
Lin Ruochen smiled, the Ten Princes were also kind, but he probably didn't expect that the countryside likes to give children some easy-to-remember names, and once these children have some ability, they will change their names, so as not to be ridiculed by others when they hear it.
"Don't you have a daimyo?" the Tenth Prince asked again, as if he was unwilling to give up like this, after all, this was the first time he had willingly helped others.
"This is the Daimyo!" The big man thinks that the Ten Princes are really funny, his son only has this one name, why does he ask and ask, does he think he is lying and lying to him?
Lin Ruochen was not in the mood to listen to them, he just wanted to see his uncle as soon as possible and know if he had an accident now? As a result, when the big man took Lin Ruochen to the eighth alley, Lin Ruochen and the others were dumbfounded!
