Chapter 14: Revealing Identity

"It's getting late, and it's time for us to take our leave. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info big sister, according to my method of boiling water decoction, a pair a day, within ten days to see. Zhao Renjie said that he would take Ying'er and leave the silk shop.

"Sir, where are we going?" Ying'er asked.

"Go to the Four Seas Inn to find the shopkeeper to find out the situation." Zhao Renjie said.

The two came to the Sihai Inn non-stop, and the shopkeeper saw Zhao Renjie and Ying'er, and they didn't recognize it for a while, so they hurriedly greeted them: "Two guest officers, are you playing a tip or staying in a hotel?" ”

Zhao Renjie had an idea and said: "Eat first, and then stay in the hotel." ”

"It's okay to eat, but it's not okay to stay in a hotel!" The shopkeeper said.

"Why? Isn't this an inn? Why can't I stay in the hotel? Zhao Renjie pretended to be surprised.

"The guest officer doesn't know, this hotel is a time-honored inn in Qingshui Town, there are many guests from the south to the north, just because there was a murder case in Qingshui Town recently, the murderer has not been found, and the county magistrate suspects that this case is related to the inn. Yesterday, the county ordered adults to come to our store to inquire about the case, and we were not allowed to accept outsiders to stay. The shopkeeper explained.

"Ohβ€”I see. Since the shopkeeper is embarrassed, then the two of us will leave after eating. Zhao Renjie walked into the inn as he spoke, and found a place by the window to sit down.

Ying'er followed behind Zhao Renjie, put down the medicine bag, and sat opposite Zhao Renjie.

"Master, what do you want to eat? I'll go and order. Ying'er asked.

"No need, when you're out and about, you can order casually and have two bowls of beef noodles." Zhao Renjie glanced at the restaurant, except for the shopkeeper and a guy who ran the hall, there were only the two of them left.

"Shopkeeper, it seems that the business of the time-honored inn of the Four Seas Inn is not very good?" Zhao Renjie asked deliberately.

"Yes, since the murder occurred, the business of the Four Seas Inn has plummeted, perhaps because the people in the past are afraid of getting into a lawsuit, so they avoid it. Alasβ€”maybe it's my bad luck. The shopkeeper smiled wryly.

"The original tenants are gone?" Zhao Renjie asked casually.

"They couldn't leave, and the county magistrate suspected that they had something to do with the bloody case, so he took them all back to the yamen for interrogation, and my buddy and I paid bail and stayed at the inn." The shopkeeper said.

"The shopkeeper is a local?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"My ancestors have lived in Qingshui Town for generations, and this inn alone has a history of nearly 100 years. Our old Liu's hospitality has always been to treat people with integrity, and make money with kindness, but I didn't expect a strange thing to happen recently, two tenants who lived in my inn for a night said goodbye, and I don't know if it's dead or alive? Alas, I deserve to be unlucky, and some people have pointed out that the deceased is my tenant, but I have seen the deceased's face, although the clothes are the same, but the age and appearance are different, I don't know what happened? The shopkeeper sighed.

"The shopkeeper doesn't have to sigh, who doesn't have a bad time? It's just a matter of time or night. If the shopkeeper didn't do anything wrong, he wouldn't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Sooner or later, this case will be solved. Zhao Renjie said with relief.

"That being said, I just don't know when this case will be solved? I didn't do anything wrong, but I wonder if these tenants are extremely vicious? If any of them do evil, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the Four Seas Inn, brother, do you think this is the case? The shopkeeper said with a sad smile.

"The shopkeeper has a point, in my opinion, if you want to resume your old business, you must return the inn of the four seas to a clean slate." Zhao Renjie said.

"Look at Mr.'s speech and demeanor, unlike ordinary people, I don't know what Mr. has to do?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Now, if the shopkeeper wants to clear his name, he must actively cooperate with the government to investigate the case and tell everything he knows." Zhao Renjie said.

"Mr. doesn't know, that county master is a foolish official, he only knows how to oppress the people, and he expects him to solve the case until the Year of the Monkey." The shopkeeper said.

"Don't worry about the shopkeeper, Lord Qincha has come to Jiang County, I heard that he is a detective, I believe that this case will soon be solved." Ying'er said.

"Will Lord Chincha make decisions for us ordinary people? has always been an official who protects each other, maybe he is also a confused official. Qian County Order is rich and powerful, if Lord Qincha collects the benefit fee, the people who suffer will not be us ordinary people in the end? The shopkeeper didn't believe it at all.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, this Lord Qincha is a clean official, and he hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials the most. This case has been personally inquired into by Lord Qincha, and I believe that it will soon be resolved. Ying'er said.

The shopkeeper still didn't believe it when he heard this, and asked, "This brother, speaking for Lord Qincha like this, have you ever seen him solve the case?" ”

"I haven't seen him solve the case yet, but I heard that he is a generation of detectives." Ying'er said.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, I don't know where Lord Qincha is, I want to see how he solved this case. Brother, have you seen him? The shopkeeper asked.

"Of course I did, I've been with him every day for the past few days." Ying'er said.

"Hehe, brother, don't lie to me, you are a person who sells medicine in the rivers and lakes, how can you know Lord Qincha?" The shopkeeper scoffed.

Ying'er glanced at Zhao Renjie, hoping that he would stand up and admit it, but Zhao Renjie smiled faintly and said: "Lord Qincha is not three-headed and six-armed, he is the same as ordinary people, carrying a mouth on two shoulders. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned and asked, "Why did the old gentleman say that?" Have you ever met Chincha-sama? ”

"Of course I did, the two of us are like one person, very familiar, inseparable." Zhao Renjie said.

"Where's Chincha-sama? Can you introduce me? The shopkeeper asked.

"I don't need to be introduced, in fact, Lord Qincha is far away in front of me, and my husband is-" Ying'er spoke quickly.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Renjie carefully, saw that he was a lot older, and said with a smile: "If this guest officer is Lord Qincha, I will be Lord Governor." ”

Zhao Renjie didn't want to reveal his identity too early, he looked at the doubts in the shopkeeper's heart, and smiled without answering.

The shopkeeper was confused, he didn't ask Zhao Renjie directly, just looked carefully.

"Shopkeeper, how many tenants were there in the inn the night before the accident? What do they do? Have you registered? Zhao Renjie asked.

"Our Four Seas Inn has always accepted guests from all over the world, and it is inconvenient for us to inquire about the identity of the guests." The shopkeeper said.

"How many days has Wu Huan been at the inn? Did he go out alone? What is he doing in Clearwater? Zhao Renjie asked.

The shopkeeper was surprised when he heard this, he never expected that a medicine seller would actually inquire about these things.

"Who the hell are you two?" The shopkeeper asked.

"The two of us walked the rivers and lakes to sell medicine, and we met several people along the way, one of them was named Ouyang Jiashen, and the other was named Wu Huan." Zhao Renjie said.

"What? Do you know these two men? Are you all in this group? The shopkeeper asked.

"Nonsense! Lord Zhao is a first-class Qincha, how could he know such a person? He was just curious. Ying'er said.

At this moment, the shopkeeper glanced at Zhao Renjie more, and was surprised to find that Zhao Renjie's eyes and shape were not at all like those in the rivers and lakes.

"Are you really Lord Chincha?" The shopkeeper asked.

Zhao Renjie nodded with a smile.

"Lord Zhao, the grass people have eyes and don't know gold and jade, and they are offended, please forgive me." The shopkeeper said embarrassedly.

Zhao Renjie took off his beard, smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "How is it?" Like now? ”

When the shopkeeper saw Zhao Renjie, he hurriedly kowtowed and apologized.

"Shopkeeper, can you tell us about the tenant?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"Of course you can, but now they are not in the inn, yesterday afternoon, Qian County ordered all the tenants to be brought to the yamen, I want to stop them, but unfortunately I don't have the ability." The shopkeeper said.

"Shopkeeper, how much do you know about Wu Huan and Sun Xuezhi? How many days have they been at the inn? Do you go out a lot? Zhao Renjie asked.

In front of Lord Qincha, the shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it, and he told Wu Huan and Sun Xuezhi in detail.

Zhao Renjie listened to it and felt that Wu Huan was particularly suspicious.

"Did you catch anything? Do Wu Huan and Sun Xuezhi often go out? Zhao Renjie asked.

"Sun Xuezhi goes to the street every day to sell calligraphy and paintings, and Wu Huan travels around every day, maybe he is outside to mess with flowers and grass." The shopkeeper said.

"Is Wu Huan a local?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"No, he's here looking for someone. However, he had a relationship with a swordsman. The shopkeeper said.

"Shopkeeper, is there a person named Ouyang Jiashen in Qingshui Town? I heard that he is a swordsman and has some skills. Zhao Renjie deliberately mentioned that he wanted to see the change in the shopkeeper's expression.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "We don't have a person from Ouyang Jiashen in Qingshui Town, but a few years ago, there was a swordsman named Liu Yaowu, who was very capable. I heard that he killed people in the county seat, and was taken down by the imperial court and sentenced to death. ”

"Is Liu Yaowu pockmarked with a pockmarked face?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"Yes, it's just that he rarely comes to Qingshui Town." The shopkeeper said.

Zhao Renjie listened to it and felt that Liu Yaowu was Liu Wu.

"It seems that Liu Wu is not dead, he just changed his name and surname. If you want to further confirm, start with Wu Huan. Zhao Renjie pondered in his heart.

The shopkeeper brought the food to the table, and the shopkeeper took out the old cellar wine that had been treasured for many years and entertained Lord Qincha. Zhao Renjie usually doesn't drink, but in order to investigate the case, he drank two glasses.

It was getting late, and Zhao Renjie couldn't go back to the yamen, so he had to stay overnight at the inn. Who knows, the two of them have already been targeted, Zhao Renjie's identity has been exposed, those people are secretly plotting, whether they can escape depends on the creation of the two of them.
