Chapter 42: Frustration and Decision
After the middle-aged businessman reminded him, several people began to plan in a whisper. www.biquge.info In this way, because their voices were very small, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao couldn't really hear them, and they could only vaguely hear some words such as "identity", "capital", "inquiry", and "start". The two of them listened for half an hour and didn't hear anything, and finally there was no sound in the next room, and it is estimated that these people went to sleep, and the two stopped listening.
"Where did these people come from?" Zhang Chao asked Luo Zhenxing in a low voice.
"It's hard to say, but it's not a good stubble, and they must have something to do with Na Hongyuan Restaurant. Anyway, we were going to visit the city tomorrow morning, so I don't think we might as well follow them, and maybe we can find some clues. Luo Zhenxing replied.
"Reasonable, and listening to what they mean, this Du Lao Liu seems to be still a character." Zhang Chao added
"Yes, I really didn't see it when I interrogated him today, it looks like an ordinary little minion, I didn't expect this person to be quite virtuous, and even our brothers let him deceive him." Luo Zhenxing also said with emotion.
"Now that I think about it, our original idea was still flawed." Zhang Chao suddenly said with a sudden realization.
"How?" Luo Zhenxing asked.
"Brother, you think, the emperor's visit to Daxing before was done in secret, and no one knew about it in advance, as for Liang Yanyang's arrest, it was also a sudden thing, where is the time to let him transfer the property of his family in advance?" Zhang Chao replied.
Luo Zhenxing was also afraid of his thighs: "Yes, it seems that we still don't think about it, so in this way, Liang Yanyang's family property may also have something to do with Na Du Lao Liu." ”
"What my brother said is good, and I think so brother." Zhang Chao said.
Luo Zhenxing also sighed with emotion: "There is a way that is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, it seems that this statement is really true." ”
"Not really, no matter how high his mana is, after all, it is still a crooked demon, and he can't achieve positive results, doesn't this still let us know? Tomorrow afternoon, we will meet this Du Lao Liu, this time I don't believe that I can't dig something out of his mouth. ”
"My brother is right, let's rest early, we still have a lot of work to do tomorrow." Luo Zhenxing said, and the two of them slept with their clothes.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao got up.
Putting his ear to the wall and listening, Zhang Chao found that there was no movement in the next room, it seemed that those people should not have woken up yet, so they went out of the room with Luo Zhenxing and settled the room with the innkeeper. The two of them went to the teahouse opposite the inn to find an inconspicuous place to sit down, and while they asked for a pot of tea to drink to refresh themselves, their eyes kept staring at the door of the inn, intending to follow them as soon as they went out.
Who knew that it was almost two hours to wait, more and more guests in the inn checked out, and the pedestrians on the whole street gradually increased, but Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao still didn't see those people come out. The tea in the pot of the two has long lost its taste of tea, and even the owner of the teahouse is too lazy to add water to them.
"The sun is all on the buttocks, these people still can't get up, what the hell did they do last night?" Zhang Chao complained to Luo Zhenxing suspiciously.
"I guess they were tired from walking yesterday and want to sleep more, wait, wait until they finish drinking this pot of tea, if they don't come out, let's go and see." Luo Zhenxing was able to endure his temperament, and while talking to Zhang Chao, he took a sip of "tea".
"Hey, listen to you." Zhang Chao reluctantly agreed with Luo Zhenxing's statement, picked up the teapot, poured himself a large cup, and poured it into his stomach with a clatter.
After another half an hour, there was no one in the inn to check out, and the whole street was bustling, and there was no sleeping atmosphere at all. This time, Luo Zhenxing was also a little unable to sit still, and said to Zhang Chao: "It is estimated that it is already late at this time, I think something is really wrong, I haven't seen anyone who still can't get up at this time, let's take a look." ”
In fact, at this time, it was almost early nine o'clock in the morning, and it was already an exaggeration to sleep until this time in the ancient Ming Dynasty, but if Xiao Mu was here, he wouldn't feel that anything was wrong, because Xiao Mu got up after twelve o'clock at noon for half a month in college, which was also a common thing - he had repeated a grade for two years, and the required courses had already been completed, as for the graduation thesis, there was no need to write in a hurry at the beginning of the new academic year, and there was no hope of graduating by the end of the academic year. Naturally, there is no need to write it. In this case, Xiao Mu didn't seem to have much to do all day except for sleeping.
"I said there was something wrong with me." Zhang Chao stood up on the table and said to Luo Zhenxing. At this time, he felt that his stomach was full of water, and his whole stomach was shaking with his movements.
The two left their seats, and returned to the small inn opposite under the resentful gaze of the teahouse owner, Luo Zhenxing smiled and asked the innkeeper who was pulling the abacus: "Shopkeeper, I wonder if the people who lived next to us last night got up now?" ”
"You mean the four guest officers, they settled the room with me early in the morning, and left after leaving the room. By the way, it's half an hour earlier than the two of you, and your two groups of guest officers got up early enough, and they didn't sleep well with me. The shopkeeper replied with a yawn.
"And so it was!" Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao said that the big thing was not good, they were negligent for a while, and a few big fish were just let go.
So Luo Zhenxing anxiously asked the shopkeeper: "Did they say where they were going, have you heard?" ”
"Why are you asking this?" The innkeeper asked warily.
After all, he is a person who runs outside all the year round, and Luo Zhenxing understands this performance of the shopkeeper very well, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and planned to quietly stuff it into the hands of the shopkeeper. But after thinking about it, it didn't seem that things had to be so troublesome, so he withdrew his hand again, put the silver back in his pocket, took out the waist card of Beizhen Fusi and swept it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes, changed a cold expression, and asked, "Do you still need to explain to you that Jinyiwei is handling the case?" Ask you whatever you ask and you will answer, say it quickly! ”
Poor innkeeper was waiting to collect the money one second, and the next second he found that he had inadvertently offended someone who should not be offended, and hurriedly confessed in a panic: "It turned out to be two errands, the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, the small shop has always been honest management, Tong Su is not bullied, and there is absolutely no collusion with the villain." Fang Cai dared to offend the superior, and asked the two adults not to remember the villain, and spare the villain once. ”
Zhang Chao on the side had already listened impatiently, and rudely interrupted the shopkeeper's chatter, "Where is so much nonsense, the case we handle is very important, do you know or don't you know where they are going?" ”
The shopkeeper didn't dare to be verbose at this time, so he had to say honestly: "Those guest officers, ah no, those thieves are very strict-mouthed, and they also ignore me when they check out, and the villain didn't hear where they were going, but the villain saw them go out and went east." ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao no longer paid attention to him. The two looked at each other, nodded, and walked out of the inn quickly, heading east, and this direction was the way to Hongyun Restaurant.
The matter is obvious, those few people of unknown origin are really the same as they said yesterday, to the vicinity of Hongyuan Restaurant to inquire about Du Laoliu, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao waited in the small teahouse for more than two hours in vain, at the moment there is no bottom in their hearts, there is no certainty that they can be found again, and all they can do now is to rush to Hongyuan Restaurant as soon as possible.
It's just that Zhang Chao, who poured several pots of tea before and after, followed his pace, and the water in his stomach shook so much that he wanted to vomit without saying anything, and he had to endure the stronger and stronger urge to urinate......
The two came to the vicinity of Hongyuan Restaurant, where are the shadows of those people here? After asking a few words with the merchants who set up stalls nearby to sell vegetables, it turned out that these people had come early in the morning and would have left a long time ago.
Since Liang Yanyang's case was personally tried by the emperor and the elders of the pavilion, the people in the entire city basically knew that Du Laoliu was arrested with Liang Yanyang and Wang Jingyuan's family went to the capital with them.
The two were afraid that they would take a risk after learning of Du Laoliu's whereabouts, and rushed back to the prison urgently, but fortunately everything was normal, the two breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Chao had no intention of urinating, the tea in his stomach had already turned into sweat, and his clothes seemed to be soaked.
Luo Zhenxing immediately made a decision and said to Zhang Chao: "The matter has come to this point, we can't drag it out any longer, you just guard here, take care of that Du Lao Liu and Liang Yanyang, and you must send more people to strictly guard them to prevent those people from coming to rob the prison to save people or kill people." I have a hunch that this Du Lao Liu is definitely not a simple character, I don't know how big a conspiracy is hidden behind him! ”
"What about you, brother?" Zhang Chao asked.
Luo Zhenxing continued: "As for me, I want to rush to the capital immediately, didn't those people also mention that they want to go to the capital, there must be a conspiracy, and I don't know if there are any accomplices, I want to rush ahead of them, play these things truthfully, and remind the emperor to take precautions as soon as possible." ”
"That's fine, brother take care all the way." Zhang Chao said.
"I'm okay, the most dangerous thing now is you, there must be no mistakes!" Luo Zhenxing instructed Zhang Chao again, and then prepared to leave.
……
"So, it's possible that these people have also come to the capital?" Xiao Mu asked Luo Zhenxing.
"Back to the emperor, I am not sure, but I think it is very possible. The origin of the other party is unknown, and I don't know if there are other accomplices, so I think that for the sake of the safety of Jingli, we must be cautious. ”
"What you say is reasonable, as for the closest relationship with Nahongyuan Restaurant in the capital, Wang Jingyuan is the one who has the closest relationship." When Xiao Mu said this, he stood up suddenly, "Luo Yangxing!" ”
"Wechen is here." Luo Yangxing replied.
"I order you to immediately send someone to strictly protect the safety of Wang Jingyuan's family, there must be no mistakes!" Xiao Mu ordered, "At the same time, I ordered to go down, and pay more attention in the capital, and report anything suspicious immediately!" ”
