Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Night Detective in Black

"Wow!" Nangong Kui was frightened and hurriedly hid behind Xiaotang. Xiaotang glanced at him, as if to say: It's really spineless, even an ordinary old woman is afraid.

There was no way, Tianlan had to go up and say: "I'm really sorry to visit late at night, we heard that you have a chart with the word 'Ziyuan' written on it, it may be what we are looking for, I wonder if you can show us the chart?"

"Charts?" the woman inside hesitated, and after a while, the door opened. The woman saw that she was a young man and a young girl, and she did not look like a fierce and evil person, and her heart was a little less vigilant. Thinking that there was nothing to worry about in the house, he let them in.

Nangong Kui couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Tianlan. In one sentence, the fierce mother-in-law opened the door obediently, and took the initiative to invite us in, worthy of Brother Tianlan!

Chen's home can be said to be a four-walled home, with almost nothing but a bed and some daily necessities and food, not even a place for people to sit.

As soon as he entered, Ye Yi said anxiously: "We are really looking for that chart urgently, can you show it to us quickly?"

Chen's eyes were cloudy, and he said, "You're late, and the chart is no longer with me." ”

"Gone, where is that?" everyone chuckled in their hearts, should it be ruined......

Chen said: "Half a month ago, the city lord's people came to collect the rent, and I had no money, so I took other things and mortgaged them, and that chart was also one of them." ”

"You mean, that chart is with the city lord?" Ye Yi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't destroyed.

"Yes. Chan continued, "And they seem to have taken that chart as a treasure map, and kept it solemnly." ”

Tianlan frowned and pondered. If the city lord was also interested in the charts, I am afraid that it would not be handed over to them easily. What should they do? They are new to Seoul and have no backstage connections in Seoul, and the Golden Lion is just a point of contact in Seoul, and their influence is very limited.

It's a good idea to build momentum if you want it to go well, but it's a waste of time, and they don't have a lot of time right now. I wonder how much this city lord covets this chart, and how likely is it to negotiate?

After thinking about it, I still don't think it's feasible. They would not stay in Seoul for too long, and were therefore unlikely to accept the conditions offered by the city lord. Thinking about it from another angle, if ordinary means can't be used, then what about extraordinary means? What about the garrison of the City Lord's Mansion?

Nangong Kui didn't expect to go so deep, but seeing that the Chen family was living so miserably, he asked, "How come you don't have money?

Chen said self-deprecatingly: "Solace money? That's a good thing, mercenaries are something, it's good if they don't take advantage of the fire to rob, where will they care if you live or die!"

Nangong Kui was surprised and disappointed, and said, "How can this be? No, they should compensate the relatives of the casualties!"

Pointing to the empty house, Chan said, "You see, this is their compensation! They deceived my only son into a dangerous occupation, causing me to lose my son in middle age, and now I have no one to send me to my death, and now I can't even keep my only family property." And the compensation they make is to ignore it...... Haha, haha, it's okay, anyway, I'm just a bad old woman with no money, no power and no support, and I deserve to starve to death on the streets one day. ”

She was sad and angry, and Nangong Kui was shocked and frightened when she heard it. He gritted his teeth and said, "You, don't be like this, I think, your son's mercenary group must have a hard time, I ...... I can give you some money first!"

Unexpectedly, she refused without hesitation: "No need, what's the use of giving it? Either it was looted by the city lord's people, or it was robbed by the villains, so it's better not to give it if you give it." Although my old woman is useless, she knows how to survive and doesn't need charity from others!"

In the end, Tianlan and the others had to leave empty-handed, neither getting the charts nor giving this stubborn woman any help. The old woman also had some truth in saying that alms is not a help but an insult to some people! This woman has suffered a lot from life, but her stubborn nature still does not allow others to trample on her last dignity! It may not be a correct choice, but it is her choice.

"What should I do about the City Lord's Mansion?" Ye Yi was more concerned about the sea chart, muttering to himself as he walked.

Tianlan smiled and said, "Anyway, tomorrow we have to visit the city lord to see how he is." It's too late today, let's go back and rest. ”

Everyone had no opinion, and Nangong Kui even sighed and said, "I can finally sleep, I'm tired." ”

Xiaotang scolded with a smile: "You guy, no one will call you after sleeping tomorrow!"

The four returned to the inn and each returned to his room.

Ye Yi just returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and looked at the ceiling with his eyes open. After ten seconds, he got up again and muttered, "What a trouble! Who has to wait until tomorrow! Isn't it just a piece of paper? Wouldn't it be nice to steal it, and still need to visit and see the attitude?"

As he spoke, he pushed open the window, put his hand on the windowsill, and jumped from the second floor. He was in excellent shape, landed very lightly, and sneaked out the back door without alarming anyone. Because he himself wears a black-tinged power suit, he even saves his night clothes.

The City Lord's Mansion happened to pass by during the day, and it was very magnificent, and you would definitely not be mistaken. He walked all the way, and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, which was just half past the night, when the people were asleep, and it was only fitting to do such a thing. He was stunned for a moment when he got to the corner, and he didn't seem to be comfortable with being a thief for the first time. By the way, should you at least change into black? Wear a mask or something?

Well, the clothes are just black, which is good. Where can I buy the masks? Now that the shops are closed, are they...... Anyway, it's strange for a man dressed in black to run to buy a mask in the middle of the night...... Forget it, just cover your face with a black cloth!

Thinking so, he tore a black cloth from the corner of his clothes, put it on his face, and then jumped over, lightly climbing over the outer wall of the City Lord's Mansion and climbing onto a tree.

Alas...... This place is so big, where will they hide the charts? Ye Yi began to worry......

At the same time, in the inn.

Tianlan's room was not lit, but instead of sleeping, he took off his white clothes, changed into a black tights, put on light black boots, and retied his hair with a black headband. His dress has completely changed this time, he is chic and elegant in white, and he has an illusory and ethereal feeling when he changes into black, as if he can hide in the night at any time and disappear into the sea of people.

He had just picked up the black mask in his hand when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Then someone knocked on the door, Tianlan didn't say anything and didn't open the door, but the people outside the door seemed to know that he didn't sleep and didn't lock the door, so he gently pushed the door and entered.

"Childe, I know. ”

The person who came was Xiaotang. She actually changed into a black tights and black boots, and smiled at the sky, obviously with the same intention.

Tianlan saw that her face was like a peach blossom, her body was like a light swallow, and her smile seemed to be real and illusory under the moonlight, she couldn't help but tremble, closed her eyes and said, "I'm just going to investigate and see if the sea chart is really in the City Lord's Mansion." You don't have to worry. ”

Xiao Tang said angrily: "I know, so I want to go with you! We don't have their detailed information, and the risk of the first investigation is the highest, so naturally I can't let you go alone." ”

He walked up to her, gently smoothed her soft hair, and said, "I've done this job many times, don't worry, there will be no problem." There will definitely be a few masters in the City Lord's Mansion, can you stay here and don't make trouble for me?"

She shook her head firmly, hugged his arm, and said, "It is because of the master that I have to go! I know that you will definitely appease us first, and then go into danger alone, how can I stay here in peace?"

"Okay, I see. Then you have to be careful, use the method I taught you, you know?"

She nodded happily, took out a similar black mask from her bosom, and raised it to him, as if to say: Look, I am no less prepared than you.

In the end, Nangong Kui was the only one in the inn who fell asleep unconsciously. The people in the room next to him were gone one after another......
