In the official office, Shen Yue and Ouyang Chen sat quietly waiting for news, and the city had arranged for his subordinates to let out the wind, hoping that the tavern shopkeeper would be disturbed and act according to the pre-arrangement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord said that the Chengnan Tavern was taken care of by the state government, I don't know what their background is?" Shen Yue asked Ouyang Chen.

If you can find out some information about the other party from him, it will be convenient to investigate in many ways, and now after Liu Ruoshui tracked those people, she has not sent back the news, fortunately, the other party has never mentioned her, and she should not be discovered by them, but she is strong in martial arts, so there is no need to worry too much. But Shen Yue felt that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated, and he must seize the opponent's flaws as soon as possible.

"The tavern has been operating here for many years, and when I took office, the previous county commander told me not to take it lightly, but I have never seen their own family, and it has always been the shopkeeper who has been working here, and I can't imagine that it is a den of thieves, and I dare to collude with the Yuan army, which is really unguardable. I don't know how many semicolons they still have as the intelligence network of the Yuan army, which is really a big disaster for our court, and they must be uprooted this time. Ouyang Chen said worriedly.

The two of them were each worried and relatively speechless, until the sky was getting dark, and finally Lai Ba brought people back the news.

"My lord, the thief has moved. The old guy was calm, called a doctor to treat their injuries, I kept an eye until the evening, only to see the doctor come out, but the old guy is really cunning, fortunately Wang Fat Man's sharp eyes, noticed that the doctor was actually he pretended, we followed him around the city for a long time, and then saw that he handed over a letter to a beggar, and then sneaked out of the city, now Wang Fat Man is still tracking the shopkeeper with Lord Zhao, I followed the beggar to Shen Dong's house, and brought the letter. ”

Lai Ba said, handed the letter to Ouyang Chen, looking very respectful, and now that he was able to connect with the county magistrate with Shen Yue, he was a little flattered.

Ouyang Chen hurriedly took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, and handed it to Shen Yue,

"This shopkeeper is really cautious, even if he wants to escape, he still wants to put you along."

Shen Yue read the letter and wrote: "If you want to win souls, you must meet at the Chengbei Post Station on the third watch tonight, and you must not bring people here." ”

"It seems that not only do we want to disturb the situation, but this shopkeeper also wants to attack the west, if we don't set him up in advance, we can really let him take the opportunity to escape." Shen Yue closed the letter and said.

"It's better for us to be false and real, maybe that person is also secretly watching, and he won't easily believe you and me, now you send your men to the north post station of the city, make a show for him, and let him go back with confidence." Ouyang Chen looked at Shen Yue.

"What the adults said is really thoughtful, I will arrange it, and I also ask you to mobilize some official connections and conduct a background check on them. Let's take a two-pronged approach to bring these people to justice as soon as possible. Shen Yue said goodbye to Ouyang Chen and quietly returned home with Lai Ba.

In the night, the old shopkeeper lay on a hillside in the north of the city, and the pain of the wound made him a little sluggish, but he did not dare to be careless at this time.

Although he learned that the third prince was seriously injured, he was anxious to return, worried that the gang of subordinates would be unsubdued and cause some trouble, but today Shen Yue came to the door and was almost recognized by him. It's a pity that a few guys broke their legs and couldn't send help, and the carrier pigeon was taken away by him, and the situation was unknown, so he had to venture out to check it out himself.

At the second watch, the city gate quietly opened, and a team of people hurried out of the city, although it was not clear in the night, the old shopkeeper was relieved, knowing that Shen Yue had been fooled, and hurriedly got up and got on the horse and galloped away.

At this time, a few heads emerged from the grass not far away, it was Zhao Meng, Wang Fatzi and others,

"You two go back to report the news first, and I'll take someone to run to track down the shopkeeper first," Zhao Meng instructed Wang Fatzi and a soldier.

"Please also ask the adults to take me with me, although the little one looks fatter, but it has ancestral kung fu, it is not a problem to keep an eye on it, before the starling brother told me that I want to strive for meritorious service and serve the Shen Dong family." Wang Fatzi said firmly. He was originally a thief stealing chickens and dogs in the city, and he had already had enough of the life without a settlement all day long, after seeing Shen Yue, he observed his words and feelings, and knew that he was a very person, so he had the intention of surrendering, how could he let go of the opportunity in front of him.

Zhao Meng was not verbose when he heard what he said, and ordered his subordinates to go back, take Wang Fatzi and others, and chase after the old shopkeeper. They had been marching for many years, and it was common for them to run on foot, and with the help of Wang Fatzi, a thief who was accustomed to walking at night, they would not be too far behind, leaving marks along the way and following closely.

Waiting until dawn, chasing out dozens of miles, it was already outside Luan County, the time was still early, the city gate was not opened, Zhao Meng saw the old shopkeeper stop the horse to rest, and also took people to hide and secretly monitor.

After Shen Yue got the news, he led people to follow all the way along the mark left by Zhao Meng, and when he arrived here, the shopkeeper had already entered the city, and he had no time to rest, so he hurriedly disguised himself as a foreign merchant and entered the city.

"Shen Dongjia, the shopkeeper just entered the inn in front of him, and he had about a cup of tea. No one came out yet, so I sent two brothers in to watch. Zhao Meng met Shen Yue and reported.

Shen Yue was in a dilemma when he heard this news, and now he has not found out whether Pinglan is being locked up here, and there is no trace of Liu Ruoshui, but this inn is very likely to be a stronghold of the other party, and it will also hide carrier pigeon communications, even if Pinglan is not here, if they let them spread the news and know that they have been aware, the consequences will be unpredictable.

There was no time to make any more arrangements, so Shen Yue ordered everyone to outflank them immediately, so that they didn't leak the news first.

Everyone rushed into the inn, but the people inside were on guard, and the two sides fought hard, and it was difficult to attack for a while.

Shen Yue didn't know how to punch or kick, so he couldn't rush forward to kill, so he had to wait anxiously at the door. Suddenly, several pigeons flew out of the wall, screamed badly, and hurriedly ordered someone to shoot them.

In a hurry, a few stones flew out, the pigeons landed one after another, no longer moving, looking back, it was the king fat man who shot on the side, although the king fat man wanted to make meritorious contributions, but he did not dare to go in and work hard, and he also watched the battle outside, which just helped.

When the killing inside gradually stopped, Shen Yue walked in, the inn was in a mess, the corpse was lying on the ground, and the old shopkeeper and a few of his men were besieged in the corner of the courtyard, covered in bruises, still holding a sword and refusing to surrender.

"I didn't expect you to track it down here, I'm still careless, I'm sorry for the kindness of my son. But the person you are looking for is not here, so you are wasting your efforts, how can you be my son-in-law's opponent, hahaha" The old shopkeeper shouted madly when he saw Shen Yue appear.

"You have no way out, put down the knife, I won't embarrass you."

"I have already had the heart to die, and I will never bow to you and surrender, today the soul returns to the immortal heaven, and the ghost will follow the son to destroy you."

Shen Yue saw that he wanted to die, and was about to order to stop it, but he saw that the shopkeeper kissed his neck with a knife, and blood was splashed, but his body was against the courtyard wall.

Looking at the corpses of several people, Shen Yue felt a little sad in his heart, although these people were not good for themselves, they were all loyal and courageous, and they regarded death as home, which made people awe-inspired.

Ordering his subordinates to collect them and bury them, Shen Yue became depressed.

Now that the clue is broken, Pinglan still doesn't know where it is, although from the shopkeeper's last words, he can analyze that they are indeed Mongolians, but he still doesn't know who the son he is talking about is. Although it can cut off their contact for the time being, after a long time, the other party will be aware of what to do.

Shen Yue was in trouble, but saw Zhao Meng leading a child in,

"Shen Dongjia, this kid said that someone asked him to send a letter."

Shen Yue had doubts, and hurriedly opened it to see,

"In Luanzhou Town, the Zhou family is suspicious, go quickly."

After reading the letter, Shen Yue asked the child, "Who asked you to send it?" Where is that man? ”

"A sister gave it to me, and she's gone." The child said timidly.

Could it be Liu Ruoshui? But since she came, why didn't she meet and say? Or is it a trick on the part of the other side? Some doubts rose in Shen Yue's heart. But no matter who sent it, after all, it is the only clue now, and no matter what, we must continue to track it down.

In a gorgeous cloth village in the city, a woman dressed as a maid hurriedly walked in, three times around and two into a study room behind, although the cloth village is in the downtown area, it is very quiet here, the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers, the light yarn is half hidden, and the breeze is gentle.

In front of the bookcase, a pair of jade hands lightly picked up the silver strings, and the hands plucked on the guqin, and the sound was like a heavenly sound. Seeing the maid come in, the woman in front of the case slowly stood up, wearing a light blue plain cloth skirt, although there was no silk luxury, but like a fairy. Half of the hair coiled up, leaving a few strands of green silk in front of the ears, the red earrings looming, and the face without a trace of powder, like a hibiscus out of the water, moving.

"Miss, I've already sent him the letter." The maid whispered, "But will he believe us?" ”

"It's not convenient to contact him now, it's already risky to pass the message, if he can handle this matter well, I can meet him with peace of mind, as for whether he believes it or not, it's up to God's will." The woman in front of the case lightly opened her lips, and a pleasant voice came out.
