Chapter 448: Clues

The shopkeeper on the ground with his mouth tied glared at Meng Ge angrily, and the fire from his quenched eyes was so eye-catching.

Meng Ge just asked, but he didn't really want to hear his answer, so he didn't let Xiao Jia let go of his mouth.

She sat back on the kang and asked Xiaojia and Xiaowu to sit on the kang as well. At the end, she asked Xiao Wu: "You mean, those people all said that they had seen Wang Ran return to this inn, and then disappeared?"

Xiao Wu nodded and returned: "Many people saw Wang Ran return to the inn in the second half of the night. There was no curfew yet, and it was very lively at night. ”

"After that, what's unusual here?" asked Mongo again.

Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "Then I can't ask." A huge inn, so many people come in and out every day, even if there is really an abnormality, outsiders can't see it. But in this room, I found some of the things you gave to the prince at the beginning. ”

Those things are not precious things, but some trinkets and ornaments unique to the south, which Meng Ge asked Wang Ran to take home to give away or please people.

Originally, Meng Ge also prepared a lot of things for Wang Ran, ranging from Zhuangjin to Miao Yin, as Wang Ran's wedding gift.

As a result, Wang Ran shirked it, saying that it was inconvenient to take it on the road, and he seemed particularly eager.

Meng Ge mistakenly thought that he was in a hurry to go home to see his fiancΓ©e, so he held his breath and accepted it all, so he gave him a few convenient boxes with these things inside.

"How can you be sure that this is what I gave to Wang Ran? There are also merchants from the south here, what if they brought it to sell?" Meng Ge was suspicious.

But the information revealed in the shopkeeper's gaze, she could not be mistaken. As a scout, this is still sensitive.

I'm afraid that they have broken someone by mistake.

Xiao Wu didn't answer Meng Ge's words, took out a small bag from his arms and threw it to Meng Ge.

Meng Ge took the bag, opened it, and found that it contained several colored gemstone rings and a jade pendant. These were all given to Meng Ge by Wang Ran, and they were returned to him by Meng Ge in those things.

Now, Meng Ge doesn't doubt it anymore. She turned to Jia, wondering why he had brought him in.

Xiao Jia shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just happened to meet him and asked someone to drug us, so I brought him here." By the way, there is a secret passage in his room, and that person escaped through the secret passage. ”

"So you're scaring the snake?" Meng Ge had a headache.

If these people want to be unfavorable to them, they will do what they want, and wouldn't it be better to find out what the hell is going on?

These boys are still too young to think through many things.

Xiao Jia was stunned, and said with some discouragement: "At that time, I thought about arresting these two people, forgetting that there are people behind the scenes." ”

Meng Ge was speechless, so he could only take the bag into his arms, open the medicine bag on the kang table, and after observing it, he didn't find anything, so he asked Xiao Jia to take a little and mix it with tea.

"Take it and feed him and see what the medicine is. Meng Ge pointed to the shopkeeper on the ground.

Xiao Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and jumped up and quickly executed the order. Xiao Wu was not ambiguous, jumped off the kang to help Xiao Jia break the man's chin and pinch his nose.

The two cooperated very well, and poured half a cup of tea for the man at once.

After the shopkeeper struggled to the death and was useless, he shook his head and hit the ground. That ruthlessness, if it weren't for Xiao Jia to pull people back, I was afraid that he would be able to kill himself in two clicks.

Looking at the shopkeeper who was knocked unconscious, Meng Ge threw Xiao Jia a porcelain bottle and said, "You have eaten this medicine, and you will take this pile of medicine later."

Tips: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time. Recommended reading:

Ignite. We can't stay here any longer, we'll sneak into his room later. ”

Meng Ge pointed to the shopkeeper on the ground.

Xiao Jia Xiaowu quickly took the medicine and slowed down for half an hour before following Meng Ge's instructions and lit a handful of hay.

After that, the three of them followed the path that had been explored a long time ago and went to the small courtyard where the shopkeeper lived.

On the way, passing by the root of the back wall of a small guest house, Meng Ge saw a pipe standing on the ground.

The thing was inconspicuous, not too big, and its location was extremely hidden, looking like a rotten bamboo tube forgotten in the corner.

She reached out and felt it up, noticing that the temperature of the air inside was a little different from that outside.

Xiao Jiajian Meng Ge squatted there for a long time, thinking that something had happened to her, so he leaned over and asked.

"It's okay, hurry up, the officers and soldiers are coming to patrol the house. Mongo forgot about the pipe and rushed to it.

They were in the small courtyard of the shopkeeper when the officers and soldiers came to the door. This courtyard is very usual, with only three rooms. One of them looks like a living room.

The three of them took the shopkeeper in the place that resembled the living room, untied all the restraints on him, and quickly hid in his room.

"Where is the entrance to the secret passage?" do you remember how to open it?" asked Mongo as he stood in the room.

Xiao Jia asked Xiao Wu to help gently move the round table in the room, put it aside, pointed to the ground and said, "The entrance is here, I don't know how to open it." ”

Mongo walked over and knocked on his knees, then lifted the carpet that covered it, and found that the marble floor tile was scratched.

It should be the marks left by being heavily cut by something sharp.

This marble floor tile is very large and square, and it looks no different from the other floor tiles in the room, and even if it is struck, it does not make a hollow sound.

It's just that the four sides of the floor tiles look a little weird, and the small corners that seem to have just been grinded, I always feel that the color is a little wrong.

The blue-gray marble floor tiles, where people have been polished, seem to be a little dull, not like other places shiny.

I think I came to another place to wax, and that place hasn't had time to make up the wax.

No, Meng Ge suddenly stopped Xiao Jia and the others, called them over, and then took out a dagger and knocked it at the dull place, and then inserted it into the gap.

Things are always such a coincidence, the floor tiles were pried open like this, and they bounced up with a bang, and the corners of Meng Ge's mouth twitched.

Before the joy of the secret passage being pried open was raised, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside.

The exaggerated shouts of the shopkeeper got closer and closer to the voices of the officers and soldiers shouting and drinking, and soon entered the courtyard.

Xu found the shopkeeper who fell to the ground and was injured, and the shouts of the shopkeeper were even more exaggerated, shouting that those officers and soldiers would call the shots.

This time, the person leading the team was none other than Yu Yang. After he learned about Meng Ge's performance in the inn and his various behaviors during the day, he was a little uneasy and planned to come and see for himself.

As a result, he pounced in the air, didn't see Meng Ge and didn't say anything, and was choked by the rancid smell in the courtyard, and almost didn't vomit out his intestines.

When he finally got out of the courtyard, he was told that the shopkeeper was missing.

So, they came to this backyard in a rage and saw the shopkeeper lying unconscious on the ground.

"Search for me, dig three feet into the ground and find people for me. Yu Yang ordered angrily.
