Chapter 260: Another Death
The next day, Helian and the others had just gotten up when they heard news that surprised them. (Please keep in mind.)
Helian put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xing Hui and said, "You said there was a murder last night?"
I couldn't help but think that they only saw the person suspected of Helian Yu'er yesterday, and there was a murder that night, which was too much of a coincidence, could it be ......
Xing Hui nodded, with a somewhat serious expression on his face: "Yes, it was the family of Xiao Minghai, the general of the dynasty, who died, and it is said that there are dozens of people, and none of them are alive." ”
"General?" Helian Xun repeated in a low voice, always feeling a little strange, just like when she heard the news that Helian Yu'er had killed the guards of the Yaoguo Border Gate, there was an answer that was about to come out, but she hadn't figured it out for a while.
Hearing Helian Ying's whisper, Xing Hui nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Minghai holds 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom, is upright, brave and good at fighting, and now he has been destroyed......
Long Yin looked at his thoughtful beloved wife, frowned slightly, looked at Xing Hui and the others and said, "Don't you think it's a little strange? Whether it is the target of Helian Yu'er's murder before or this murder, the identity of the person killed is very special, either a high position or an important position?"
Obviously, Long Yin's thinking and Helian Xun were in the same space, and the two of them thought of going together.
Helian Xun heard Long Yin's words, looked at them and nodded, and said, "I was thinking about this question just now, don't you think there seems to be something wrong with this......?"
"It's like it was chosen on purpose. Long Yin said categorically as a result of his beloved wife's words.
It's as if someone deliberately chose to do it.
Long Yin's words made the faces of everyone in the room change, and they fell silent for a moment, and everyone's expressions became very solemn.
Helian Xun was silent for a long time, exhaled heavily, got up and walked to the window, opened the window, and saw the street below that was a lot deserted because of the murder case, and the officers and soldiers who were constantly patrolling back and forth, looked back at Long Yin and said, "It seems that we should go to the scene of the murder to see, I want to confirm something." ”
Nan Kang looked at Helian Yu's slightly frowning brows, and then said, "Senior sister wants to make sure, is it Helian Yu'er's doing?"
Helian nodded, turned his head to look down and said, "If it were her, she would definitely leave a trace." ”
Escort Lin didn't speak until this time: "The General's Mansion must be heavily guarded now, and it will be inappropriate for Madame to go now, after all, Madame's current identity is more sensitive, so it is better to go later, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble." ”
Hearing his words, Helian and the others glanced at each other and nodded approvingly.
Guard Lin stood up, clasped his fists and said to them: "It's better to be like this, a few of you are resting in the inn now, and you will go down to inquire about the news." ”
"Then there's work. Long Yin stood up, said a word to Lin Guard's fist in the same polite manner, walked to the bedside, put his arm around his beloved wife's waist, looked at the officers and soldiers coming and going below, sighed almost uncheckably, and muttered: "It seems that this capital will not be peaceful." ”
None of the people in the room spoke, and it would be too coincidental to say that it was a coincidence.
The solemnity in the room made Helian Wei feel a little depressed, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "No matter, if you are hungry, it is the right thing to fill your stomach first." After speaking, he pulled Long Yin and walked towards the door.
Seeing Helian Ying's relaxed appearance, several people couldn't help but let out a breath, and their depressed mood was relieved a lot, and they stood up and left the room.
Helian and the others came downstairs, and all they heard were discussions about the case of the general's mansion extermination.
Several people glanced at each other, sat down quietly, and listened to the discussion of others.
"It's really miserable, I heard that they were all killed, who had such a big enmity with them, and they didn't even have a single living mouth. ”
"Hey, it's a pity, General Xiao is a big hero, when he helped the emperor establish the Yan Kingdom, he made a lot of great contributions, but he didn't expect to end up with such a tragic end now. ”
"Hey!" Most of the people around him talked about regret, such a big hero, he was killed so inexplicably, not only the loss of the royal family, but also the loss of the people, if there is a war at this time, who else in this Yan country can command the three armies and resist foreign enemies?
Helian Jing listened to their discussion, and there was a trace of regret in her heart, although she had never seen this General Xiao, but listening to others' evaluations of him, it seemed that he was indeed a person worthy of admiration.
Just when Helian was feeling sorry in her heart, she suddenly heard the whispered voices of several people, which made her frown.
"But it's strange, there are residents around the General's Mansion, why didn't anyone hear the screams last night?"
"How did you find out that their family was killed?"
"I heard that it was Granny Wang, who was shopping for vegetables on East Street, to deliver food to them, only to find out that Granny Wang was so frightened that she was bedridden. ”
Helian Xun glanced at the people, knocked on the table with one hand unconsciously, and said thoughtfully: "Is it silent?"
Long Yin and the others heard Helian Ying's whispering, and their hearts were also a little low, and there were only two possibilities for them to sit silently.
One is to put sweat medicine in their food in advance to stun these people before attacking, and the other may be that someone has set up an enchantment to hide all those screams.
As for what kind of possibility, we'll find out tonight.
The food he wanted was served quickly, Helian Wei poked the dish in front of him with chopsticks, turned his head to look at the street outside the door and said, "Why don't we go out for a walk for a while?"
"Okay!" Xing Hui and the others nodded in agreement without any objection when they heard this.
After the meal, a few people put down the dishes and chopsticks, paid the money and were about to go out, but were stopped by the shopkeeper: "Are the guest officers going out?" The old man advises you not to go out for the time being, there is a murder in the General's Mansion, and the government is investigating the murderer, and going out now will cause trouble. ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Helian said with a smile: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's reminder, then we still won't go out." With that, he turned and walked towards the room.
She felt that the shopkeeper was right, there would definitely be trouble when she went out now, and it was estimated that someone else would be okay to say, but her current identity was a little inconvenient, so she should stop making trouble.
It's just that before they could go upstairs, a pair of officers and soldiers walked into the inn, all of them looking solemn.
Helian quickly pulled up her hat and put it on, covering her face.
The officers and soldiers at the head glanced at the guests in the inn, walked to the shopkeeper, looked at him and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have any suspicious guests here?"
The shopkeeper looked at their appearance of killing for a year, and his legs were already weak with fright, and he replied tremblingly: "Official, official, I haven't seen anyone with suspicious behaviors. ”
The officers and soldiers at the head looked at him tremblingly, a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes, turned their heads to look at everyone in the inn, and then put their eyes on Helian Ying, who was standing at the top of the stairs, and couldn't get up or down, to be precise, Helian Xing, who was wrapped in a cloak, frowned slightly, stepped forward, looked at them a few times, and said, "Why haven't you seen a few outsiders?"
Long Yin looked at the inquiring gaze of the officer and soldier who fell on the person in his arms, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he tightened his hand around her, and leaned sideways without a trace, blocking his sight.
Xing Hui had a gentle smile on his face, and said respectfully with his fists: "Don't hide it from the official, our senior brothers and sisters are indeed outsiders, and they have just arrived in the capital. ”
The officer and soldier looked them up and down a few more times, and found nothing wrong, before saying: "Don't walk around casually in the past few days, and you, if anyone finds any deeds that can be done, you can go to the official palace to report it, and those who help the court catch the murderer will be rewarded." After speaking, he glanced at the people in the inn and left with them.
Watching those officers and soldiers leave, everyone in the inn couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper, who was so frightened that his legs were weak, held on to the counter and exhaled heavily.
Ergou looked at the soft-legged shopkeeper, hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and couldn't help but whisper: "By the way, the shopkeeper, if you want to say that there are suspicious people, it's not nothing, the two girls who live in the third floor Tianzi No. 1 room are quite suspicious, they have been here for three days, and I have seen them go downstairs once." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, raised his hand and unceremoniously gave Ergou a chestnut: "What nonsense? Don't you deliver three meals a day? Besides, what can a weak woman do? ”
"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper taught me that the little one will never dare to talk nonsense in the future. Ergou rubbed the knocked place and nodded hurriedly, and cautiously glanced around, and was relieved to see that no one noticed them.
Helian Ying, who was about to leave, listened to their conversation, withdrew the person who was going upstairs, turned his head to look at Ergou who was standing by the counter, turned his eyes, and said to him: "Xiao Er, send us two pots of wine, and a few plates of appetizers to the room." ”
Ergou listened to the voice, and when he looked up, he saw Helian Jing and a few people standing on the stairs, and hurriedly responded: "Good guest officer." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen, and when he walked in, he realized that they hadn't just eaten.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he muttered: "Whatever, just pay the silver." As he spoke, he brought two jugs of wine, and brought a few plates of peanuts and other snacks and went upstairs.
Helian and the others returned to the room, and Xing Hui said, "Netting, are you suspicious of those two women?"
Helian Xun nodded, and then shook his head: "I don't know, I just have a feeling, just wait for the shopkeeper to come and ask him to know." ”
Hearing this, Long Yin and the others nodded, and as soon as they sat down, they heard a knock on the door: "Guest officer, the wine and food you want are here." ”
Long Yin glanced at his beloved wife beside him, looked up at the shopkeeper opposite and said, "Come in!"
