Chapter 37: Revisited
Ning Hong was implicated, but he relied on the imperial doctor as a guarantee, and the emperor did not deal with it now, combined with the memory of his previous life, the usual means used by Ning Hong and his party were nothing more than to launch a substitute for the dead.
But Ning Zhao didn't let him get his wish, as long as she grabbed Ning Hong's handle, she didn't mind killing her relatives with righteousness.
With the lessons of the past, Ning Zhao was more careful this time, not only dressed as a man, but also changed his appearance slightly, and wanted to blend into the military horse trading market in disguise.
As it turned out, Ning Zhao's worries were warranted.
Looking at the many people coming out of the entrance and exit of the market, I knew at a glance that it was not a merchant or vendor, and that body and eyes were simply a practitioner.
actually arranged so many people to guard it, it was simply three hundred taels of silver here, and it was really greasy to sit inside.
Ning Zhao took a deep breath, brushed the disguised beard on his chin, looked around, bought a straw hat on the side of the street and put it on, and then walked towards the entrance of the market.
"Stop." The rough male voice stopped Ning Zhao's pace.
"What's the matter with this little brother?" Ning Zhao's voice was hoarse, and he slowly raised his head, his originally fair and delicate face was now dry and shriveled, and with that beard, he looked like a little old man with a little vicissitudes.
"Routine checks." The man who spoke looked Ning Zhao up and down, and after carefully confirming it, he waved his hand and motioned for his companion to check if she was carrying a weapon.
"Why is that?" Ning Zhao looked surprised and said blankly: "Now when you go to a trading market, do you have to be so strict?" ”
He said so, but he did not refuse to check.
She came alone, not wanting to cause trouble, not to mention that she had a package with her, but there was nothing suspicious.
The things were quickly checked, and the companion nodded at the man who spoke, and the man turned sideways, indicating that Ning Zhao was able to pass.
Ning Zhao's questioning was like sinking into the sea, and after he was released, those people continued to guard the door, checking passers-by, as they had done at the beginning, without the slightest intention of talking to Ning Zhao.
This kind of behavior is not an ordinary guard at first glance.
The last time the pursuit was unsuccessful, and this time they were so cautious, could it be that they were exposed last time and startled the snake?
However, this thought only lasted for a moment, and the next moment, Ning Zhao denied this idea - they secretly investigated the case, these people wanted to do it, they could assassinate them in private like last time, why bother to mobilize the crowd so much.
Seeing that Ning Zhao didn't move, the man who was guarding before looked at her, his eyes were a little unkind, but Ning Zhao smiled at him, turned around and walked away slowly.
Feeling that the sight that fell on his body disappeared, Ning Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. These people are too vigilant, and she has to be more careful in her actions this time.
If something happens, no one Jin Yuan will come to his rescue this time.
Thinking of Jin Yuan, Ning Zhao's thoughts also paused, I don't know how this person is now? Where are you? Have you heard of your death?
If so, would he be sad for her?
"Catch him!"
There was a sudden burst of shouting behind him, Ning Zhao instantly came back to his senses, and felt the sound of wind coming behind him, and Ning Zhao instinctively gave way to the side.
In the next second, a thin and short man quickly passed by her, so fast that he ran a long way in the blink of an eye.
"Get out of the way! Quick, catch him, don't let him run! The guards at the gate rushed up and chased after the man.
"Hey, when is it a head?" When a few people ran away, the vendor not far from Ning Zhao shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Ning Zhao looked at him, then stepped forward and asked, "This little brother, I don't know what happened?" ”
When the peddler heard this, he looked at her, his eyes went back and forth for a moment, maybe Ning Zhao looked gentle and harmless, so the peddler didn't hide, he got closer, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, we had someone dead here, tsk, you don't know, the family of three is all dead." ”
As he spoke, the peddler shook his head and sighed: "They are all people who do some small business to make a living, and I don't know what adults have provoked to do this, I just shook my eyes in the crowd at the time, and the yard was full of blood, and it looked like it was seeping!" ”
Dead people?
"Who are the people at the entrance?"
"It's all sent by the government, it's been a few days, the murderer hasn't been caught yet, and the people from the government are here every day, which makes people panic, and many people don't have the heart to do business."
As he spoke, the vendor raised his hand and pointed to the street, saying, "Look at it, it's so deserted on weekdays, hey, I haven't opened for several days." ”
Ning Zhao looked at it, and sure enough!
Before, she had only paid attention to the extra guards at the entrance, but now she saw that the street was completely different from the last time, and there were few pedestrians, except for the few large horse shops, many small shops were closed, not to mention the hawkers who were leading horses and squatting on the side of the road.
At this juncture, it was difficult for Ning Zhao not to guess whether it was related to his investigation, and then he chatted with the vendor about the information of the dead family, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
"Chen Er's generations are horse sellers, and he is even more of a horse idiot, with a lot of good resources in his hands, but he doesn't know how to use them.
The peddler seemed to have opened the conversation, and he didn't care whether people wanted to listen or not, and said to himself: "As soon as this happened, all of us here guessed whether it was the hands of those big bosses, tsk, I can remember that scene now, it's really miserable." ”
"Chen Er? Is it a small house selling horses at the corner of the alley in front? Which one of his families lives in the alley behind this street? Ning Zhao frowned and asked.
"Yo, you know their family too." The peddler clapped his hands and said, "That's them!" ”
Ning Zhao's heart was cold, and then a strong apology rose, and now it is not difficult to guess that the family has suffered from it on behalf of others, and they have been involved!
Ning Zhao lowered her head slightly, her straw hat covered half of her face, she was silent for a while, slowly exhaled a breath, and then inquired: "You said before, guessing that the murderers are those big bosses, why do you have this opinion?" What do the people in the government say? ”
"Hey, who of us here doesn't know that those big bosses don't have a good relationship with Old Man Chen? Originally, he was also a horse seller, and the goods in Old Man Chen's hands were good, so naturally the business was better, and those people were greedy. ”
"No, after walking shit luck hugged Jin's thigh, these people turned over all of a sudden, doesn't this suppress Old Man Chen and make him have no business to do? Not long ago, Old Man Chen was sick with anger and was bedridden at home, who knew that before the illness was cured, the person would be gone, tsk......"
Ning Zhao stood in place for a while, and said a few more words to the vendor, until someone came to see the horse, Ning Zhao thanked him and left.
Chen Er is the same vendor I met when I inquired about the news last time!
Now that I think about it, as soon as she and Jin Yuan left the trading market, they were chased and killed, and they must have been targeted early in the morning, and those people followed them to Chen Er's house, monitoring them in the dark, and when the two of them left, they killed them on the road.
