Inn.

No surprises tonight.

Jin An successfully broke through the fourth layer of the "Blood Knife Sutra".

Nothing was said all night.

Next.

Jin An was woken up by the inn shopkeeper.

"Prince Jin An!"

"Have you woken up from your sleep?"

"Prince Jin'an, no, something happened!"

The shopkeeper stood outside the closed vermilion lacquer door of the house, shouting Jin An's name.

His voice was not loud, and the environment of the house was quiet, and he was afraid of disturbing the sound sleep of the guests living in the other houses.

The shopkeeper called three times, and when he saw that Jin An's room had not moved, he thought that Jin An had not woken up yet, and he gritted his teeth and planned to leave first.

This time, he took advantage of the gap between going to the back kitchen to serve food to the front diners, and secretly came to Jin An.

So I didn't dare to really stay too long.

so as not to be caught by the shopkeeper.

His wages were deducted.

His monthly salary is only two taels of silver.

And just when the shopkeeper turned around in disappointment and was about to leave, the vermilion lacquer gate of the mansion behind him opened from the inside.

Jin An looked at the inn shop in front of him and asked, "You were calling me just now?"

When the shopkeeper saw Jin An coming out, he looked surprised, turned around and walked back, bowed down and said, "I was calling Jin An Gongzi outside the courtyard just now, I don't know if I made any noise about Jin An's Qingmeng?"

"What's the matter with me?"

"You just said something happened, what's wrong?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to sell the guanzi, and a gourd scoop sprinkled with water, and he said everything.

"Prince Jin An, I wiped the table in the front hall this morning, and I heard one of the guests who came to the store for breakfast say that there was an accident at Lin Lu's house last night!"

"Early this morning, the morning bell rang to open the ban, about the time when the world was just dawning, the door of Lin Lu's courtyard was wide open, and Chen Daochang, who was in charge of keeping vigil last night and guarding the white coffin that came back from the grave on the north slope, and four or five other people, all fainted in the courtyard. ”

The lid of the white coffin was pushed open halfway. ”

Lin Lu was frightened into the room where he slept. ”

"When a few people were woken up, Lin Lu seemed to be stimulated by something, and screamed out in fright! Lin Lu said that the dead man in the white coffin ran out by himself, and he was standing behind the window last night and was frightened by a human face and fainted!"

"As a result, Gongzi Jin An, guess this, what happened later?"

"This is evil!"

"The body in the coffin was not lost, and the body in the coffin did not run out on its own, and the person was lying upright all the time. ”

In the end, it was Chen Daochang who broke through, saying that the face that Lin Lu saw behind the window last night was not necessarily the dead person buried in the coffin, but it was possible that an outsider came to steal the body. ”

"Because last night, Daochang Chen and his night watchmen were drugged and slept to death in the meal, so people had the opportunity to come and steal the corpse. ”

"It's just that the person who stole the corpse, I never expected that there was another person in the house who was the only one who didn't eat last night's meal and the only one who wasn't stunned, and this person was Lin Lu, who was mentally weak and had a bad appetite for several days. ”

"It is very likely that the person who came to steal the corpse was scared away by Lin Lu who appeared unexpectedly, and he didn't even have time to steal the corpse. ”

When Jin An heard this, he was taken aback.

I can't believe so much happened last night.

He hurriedly asked the shopkeeper: "What happened later?"

"Daoist Chen, have they found the person who secretly drugged them?"

Who knows, the shopkeeper shook his head and said he didn't know, saying that the guests at that table only knew so much, and they also heard it from other people.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at Jin An with some expectation.

Shout~

"You've done a good job, and you'll be rewarded with the money. ”

"If you have anything else to do with me in the future, you can come to me at any time. ”

The two coins fell in the palm of the shopkeeper's palm, and Jin An's hand was generous, making the shopkeeper smile happily, and patted Jin An with a courteous fart.

These two coins of silver can already be worth half of his monthly money.

Sure enough, it was not in vain, and he took the risk to find the prince of Jin'an.

Just when the shopkeeper said goodbye to Jin An, and he had to go to the back kitchen to serve food, so as not to be caught by the shopkeeper that he was lazy, Jin An temporarily stopped him: "I'll inquire about something again, where has Zhao Ping been recently?"

"Why haven't I seen anyone in the store in days?"

The Zhao Ping in Jin An's mouth was the innkeeper who chatted with Jin An that night and talked about Zhang Lingyun's sisterhood.

The shopkeeper replied honestly: "He has been fired by the shopkeeper." ”

"It seems that because he said something that shouldn't be said, I guess he chewed the root of people's tongues behind his back, and he happened to be heard by the shopkeeper, so he was fired by the shopkeeper. ”

"Speaking of which, several of us who used to have a good relationship with him have not seen him for a long time, and since he left overnight on the day he was fired by the shopkeeper, he has never seen each other again, and he has never come to us to catch up. ”

This news made Jin An stunned.

Then he waved his hand and let the shopkeeper leave.

......

But on the way to leave, there was one thing he couldn't understand......

Standing at the door of the mansion just now, when he was talking to the prince of Jin An, I don't know if it was his delusion, or if he didn't see it too clearly when he stood outside the mansion......

The goat that Jin An Gongzi kept in the yard seemed to be bigger than when he saw him in the back kitchen a few days ago?

Fatter and stronger?

......

Looking at the back of the shopkeeper leaving, Jin An looked deep in thought.

He originally thought that after the coffin was lifted, he would have nothing to do with the old god stick, the white coffin, and Lin Lu's family in the future.

Unexpectedly, on the first night after returning from carrying the coffin, there was a theft of the body.

It was precisely because of the importance of this matter that he would reward the nimble shopkeeper with two or two coins of silver.

You must know that these two coins of silver are half a month's salary for an ordinary porter who can only work hard.

In ancient times, a few taels of silver could afford to buy a house.

......

It's just that there is one thing that Jin An hasn't figured out yet.

Since the other party has already stolen the corpse, since they are all drugged in the meal, why not just poison it, or more simply, but just stun people?

Later, Jin An thought about it, maybe it was because the other party didn't want to attract the attention of the government.

Fear of killing too many people will attract official attention.

The other party just wants to steal the corpse, and doesn't want to fight head-on with the official forces!

......

Jin An thought about it, and finally went out to Lin Lu's house.

When Jin An arrived at Lin Lu's house, he saw that outside the courtyard wall of Lin Lu's house, there were young people from the Lin clan.

One by one, they did not move.

Like a door god.

persuaded some people who wanted to come and watch the good deeds to leave.

If you don't listen to the good words and persuasion, you will salute first, then the soldiers, and drive people out directly.

Seeing that the people of the Lin clan looked like they were facing a great enemy, Jin An immediately understood that in addition to the things that the shopkeeper told him, something else happened last night.

Otherwise, why did Lin Lu's relatives all come over and drive all the outsiders away, so that outsiders don't know the situation in the courtyard?

Jin An and these people from the Lin family are old acquaintances who have dealt with each other yesterday.

As soon as Jin An came, he was recognized by Lin Erzhu, who was guarding the door, and Lin Erzhu was the one who carried the coffin with Jin An yesterday.

"Prince Jin An, why are you here?" Lin Erzhu showed surprise on his face at Jin An's arrival.

Jin An didn't hide it, he showed his intentions, and he heard that something was going on here, so he came over to take a look. After listening to Jin An's words, Lin Erzhu didn't deliberately embarrass Jin An, really speaking seriously, Jin An and him can be regarded as having a life-and-death relationship... It was a man who had carried the coffin of a dead man together.

So Lin Erzhu took the initiative to run errands for Jin An, and ran into the courtyard for Jin An to spread the word, and soon, Lin Erzhu ran out again, saying that Chen Daochang invited him in.
