Volume 2 Chapter 16 The Undercurrents in the Ming City
After making a plan, the two set off to carry it out.
"At that time, after receiving all the spiritual power of the old man, I followed the fleeing crowd and prepared to cross the east of Yu Guo to cross the sea, but on the way I encountered a large group of bandits, I was caught and sold to a man called Zhuevil Ghosts in Mingcheng, and there were more than a dozen girls like me in his cellar. ”
Locks nodded, "Demons, here's a clue!"
Ye Ni swallowed, "I haven't seen the appearance of all the evil ghosts, but I know that he is a figure with a head and a face in Ming City, and he has a secret relationship with the palace!"
"Well, that's enough!" Locks nodded, then changed into the old clothes he wore in the past, "Let's go around and investigate today, we have more time anyway." ”
"Hmm!"
Walking out of the hotel, I came to this vibrant Mingcheng Street.
It's hard to imagine that in Yeni's depiction, there was once a catastrophe here.
The two of them had breakfast at the roadside stall, and then walked towards the gate of the palace, intending to squat there to find someone.
Ye Ni's description alone could not find any matching person, and if you compared, you could not find the evil spirits in the people who entered and exited the palace.
The morning of squatting and investigation ended in failure.
Back at the inn, Yeni sat sullenly on the edge of the bed.
Even Locks himself ate the osmanthus cake she liked to eat for her, and only took a small bite.
It can be seen that she is a little depressed, but fortunately, Locks has a way, he smiled and said to Ye Ni, "Wait for me to come back at the hotel, I'll do something, and I'll be fine immediately!"
"Why are you going?" she tugged at the hem of Locks' coat, "Are you going to investigate the demons alone?"
Locks smiled and touched her head, "Hmph, no matter what, you're going to have to wait for me to come back at the inn!"
"But..... I'm afraid you're in danger alone, and I'm going with you!" she pouted.
Yes, think about the two people standing outside the palace like two stone Buddhas this morning, watching those people coming in and out.
Originally, she asked Yennie to come back halfway, but her stubborn appearance made Locks very funny, so she had to insist, and then she made a bet with herself that she would definitely meet all the evil spirits!
"Hehe, I said, you can rest in the hotel this afternoon, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring you something to eat later, understand?" He took care of Ye Ni like a child.
Ye Ni naturally knew, she pouted, "Hmph, I'm not a child anymore, I'm 16 years old this year!"
"Ahh Locks just laughed and went out the door.
After arranging some things for the shopkeeper, he straightened his clothes, "16 years old, heh, it's not much different from me." ”
You know, Locks is only 19 years old now.
To investigate something, there are naturally some ways.
So, Locks found the man.
From the mouths of the gatekeepers, he learned Yaoxi's whereabouts, and finally found him in a green building on the corner of the street.
Yaoxi is full of alcohol, and he has a good relationship with the old bustard of this green building.
Locks looked at Yaoxi, who was supported by the bustard, and walked out, "Why are you here?"
"Ah...... Drinking, and then, and then, alas, why are you here?" he sobered up in an instant, and immediately stood upright, "Grandma is in trouble, next time it's this time!"
With that, he walked over to Locks' side.
The bustard nodded and walked into the house.
"You..... What are you looking for me?" Yaoxi looked at Locks suspiciously, "Are you supposed to ...... It's Wang Zhiyi!"
He waved his hand, "No, I'm just here to ask me for a favor." ”
Yaoxi looked incredulous, "Help you, don't you have a good relationship with that Ninth True Son, you ask him for help!"
As he spoke, he looked around vigilantly, then grabbed Locks' clothes and ran into a deep alley.
After running for a long time, it was not until there was no more road in this deep alley that Yaoxi threw off Locks's clothes.
He looked at Locks' clothes, "What's the problem, hurry up and ask." ”
Locks smiled, and he also looked left and right like Yaoxi just now, "You're really on guard, who are you guarding against?"
"Hmph, the wall has ears, Locks, you're not afraid of my terrible very!" he said, glancing behind him again, "Say, if you have any questions to ask, it's best to finish them quickly." ”
He didn't look too wary, like there were people everywhere.
Of course, it was not unreasonable for him to be so vigilant, after all, he had just used the power of darkness to observe the surroundings and found that there were suspicious people everywhere.
However, at least they won't find it now, now Locks and Yaosi are in the center of an aura wrapped in the power of darkness, and this aura has no one to break except Ankefa!
"Then I won't beat around the bush, Ye Ni is looking for her little friend, and the known clue is that she was once imprisoned by a high-ranking figure called the Demons. ”
Yaoxi listened, he knew who it was, "Well, all evil ghosts, I know, he is the manager in charge of the internal security of Ming City, his real name is Zhu Yan, and he was the first to surrender after the Ninth True Son invaded Ming City. ”
Locks nodded, "Well, I know, it's a traitor!"
He shook his head, "No, although he is a traitor, he is actually a very good person, when he defected to the Ninth True Son, he protected at least four hundred innocent people in his hands, and he has been doing good things all these years, you say that he imprisoned your mother-in-law, I look at it." ”
Hearing this, Locks felt that what Yaoxi said was still hanging.
"Well, I can't hear about this matter, tell me his address or something, I'll go and visit in person!"
Yao Xi shook his shoulders and gave advice, "His family lives in a mansion in the north of Ming City, you can go and take a look in the evening, this time is usually the time for him to visit the gate of the city." ”
"Thank you. ”
Locks, who had received accurate information, thanked Yaoxi and got up and returned to the inn.
It's still early in the evening, and I have to go back to the inn to tell Yenne the news.
After returning to the hotel, Ye Ni was sitting on the bed sullenly eating osmanthus cake, and when she saw Locks coming back, she rushed over with half a piece of osmanthus cake and hugged Locks.
"You're back, how is the investigation?"
Locks gently put down Yenny, took her hand and walked to the window, pointing in the direction of the north.
"The real name of the evil ghosts is Zhu Yan, and his official position is the general of the city gate garrison of Mingcheng, and his family lives in the north...... However, the news I got is that the evil ghost is a good man, he protected more than 400 innocent people when the Ninth True Son attacked Ming City, and he has often done good deeds during these years, could it be that you are mistaken?" he paid attention to Ye Ni's eyes.
However, her eyes were terrified as if this had happened yesterday!
Ye Ni said lightly, "It's impossible, all the girls in the cellar at that time were bought from various people, either by their parents or by human traffickers!"
"Hmm..... This is reasonable, since it can be bought from someone else, it means that this person is not a good product, let me go and see it at dusk tonight, and find out!"
Locks was not convinced of the truth of his words, but he was not as good at thinking as he was in action.
After sitting with Ye Ni in the room for an afternoon, seeing that dusk had come, Locks got up and prepared to walk towards the north of Ming City.
Ye Ni was coaxed to sleep by Locks early, she was eating osmanthus cake in the afternoon while enjoying the sun, coupled with Locks's meticulous care, she soon fell asleep.
In order not to be conspicuous, Locks changed out of this old clothes and put on the black and gold robes.
After passing through several streets, he came to the outside of a large mansion in the north of the city.
"This is it. He glanced at the sign written on the outside of the mansion, "The General's Mansion of the Patrol City?"
What the hell, such a high-profile one?!
