Chapter 385: Dangerous Road (1)
Jiang Yunyi walked very comfortably. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since two days ago, after the old emperor agreed to Ji Feng's departure from Beijing, everyone who was not busy had lived a leisurely life of eating and sleeping when they were full, and their spirits were very good, and they did not feel the slightest fatigue along the way, as for Ji Feng, he was not excited, and he was as energetic as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
After leaving the capital, he traveled for a day and a night without pause, and entered the Baoding Mansion area. Seeing that the horses pulling the cart couldn't stand it anymore, Jiang Yun settled in Pingyang County, the small county town was not exquisite, they found a decent inn, and asked Xiao Er to lead the horse to the stable to feed and recuperate, and then walked to the cabinet.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!"
Jiang Yun hammered the counter and shouted several times in a row, and was busy counting the fat shopkeeper who was a little guy before he came back to his senses and rushed over. "Guest, you speak."
"Open me two good rooms, stay overnight, and leave tomorrow morning."
As soon as Jiang Yun's words fell, the fat shopkeeper replied with a wry smile: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, there is only one good guest room shop left." ”
One? How do I live in one room? Jiang Yun didn't see Ji Feng, and Ji Luo was his own sister, so he didn't have so many worries, but the problem was that Xu Huanting was also there, and the family didn't mean that he could accept his daughter-in-law sleeping in the same room with other men. What's more, after driving for so long, the two girls are afraid that they will have to take a shower before they can sleep.
"Worse ones?"
"It's gone." The fat shopkeeper shook his head and said: "This Pingyang County is the hub of the north and south, there are a lot of guest officers who settle down again every day, and we are the best inn in the county, so the business has always been good, and it is almost full in the evening, and there is only one room left." ”
I didn't have to choose, Jiang Yun sighed: "That's okay, I want it in the end." ”
"Do you really want to? This is the largest room in the shop, and the price will be more expensive, costing a hundred taels of silver. ”
"One hundred taels?" Jiang Yun glared and said, "You might as well grab it." ”
"Hey." The fat shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't wait for you to come, do you want to think about it." ”
"Okay, do you want to collect the silver ticket?"
"Silver ticket?" A look of vigilance flashed in the fat shopkeeper's squinting eyes. "You have to have a ticket number in the capital."
"Take it." Jiang Yun casually took out a denomination of one hundred taels and threw it over. "Where's the room?"
Looking down, a reassuring smile finally appeared on the shopkeeper's fat face. "Go up the stairway, and the one on the far left on the second floor is."
After taking the bill handed by the dead fat man, the four of them went straight down the corridor to the guest room. After entering the house, Jiang Yunbu's mood calmed down a little, although the price was a little more expensive, but the house was indeed not bad.
Big! The space is spacious enough, with all the facilities, there is a curtain in the center of the room, interspersed horizontally, if you pull it up, the whole room is divided into two rooms, and the most important thing is that there is a small room separated by a wooden board on the left side, whether it is a shower or a courtesy, it is very convenient.
"Not bad." Ji Luo walked to the table, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the table, looked down, blew a breath, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it's clean." In this way, Xianggong, you and your eldest brother sleep on the right bed, and Sister Huanting and I sleep on the left. ”
"Okay." Jiang Yun walked to the side of his bed and sat up, not to mention, it was quite soft. "I haven't eaten anything all day, I'm hungry, why don't you order some food and go to bed when you're done?"
"Look." Xu Huanting smiled softly.
"Cheng, then I'll call some." After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs, and after finding Xiao Er, he casually ordered six or seven side dishes, and asked him to tell the kitchen to be ready quickly and send them directly to the guest room. Then back to the room, the four of them sat around the table, chatting with great interest.
After a while, the meal was ready, Xiao Er carried a wide plate, ran up to the second floor with six freshly baked side dishes, and said politely after putting them on the table one by one: "Wait a minute, the soup and rice will be here in a while." ”
"Luo'er, Huanting, you use it first."
The side dishes on the table were delicate and full of attractive fragrance, Ji Luo looked at it, swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll use it when the soup comes, I'm afraid of choking." ”
"Why don't you eat slowly?" Jiang Yun gave her a strange look. "Wan Ting?"
Xu Huanting smiled faintly: "I'm not in a hurry. ”
Then wait! While a few people were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of dishes falling to the ground outside the door. Jiang Yun suddenly got up, and said with dissatisfaction: "What's going on with this inn, you can smash every dish?" He was displeased, and was about to go out to scold him, when a voice came from outside the house again. Sharp, piercing, high-spirited and enduring, it was a woman's scream of fear.
"Ahh Kill! ”
Homicide? Jiang Yun and Ji Feng glanced at each other, their hearts froze, and they ran out at the same time, Ji Luo and Xu Wanting also stood up and ran out after them.
After leaving the house, Ji Luo only glanced at it and immediately covered his eyes. Xiao Er, who was in charge of helping them deliver food, lay on the ground, the plates were upside down, and the fragments of soup, rice, and dishes were scattered all over the ground.
Jiang Yun didn't know if Xiao Er was dead or not, he could only be sure that this Xiao Er was no longer saved. A shocking wound on his neck crossed from left to right, the major artery had been severed, and the blood was almost spurting from the wound, his face was pale and gray, and his whole body continued to tremble at a slight but rapid frequency, and after a short time there was no sound.
Dead, a living person died in front of them, and a moment ago, the dead were still serving them food.
Jiang Yun instinctively stepped forward, broke the deceased's neck to one side, and then took the cloth towel from his shoulder and wiped it on the wound, after the blood stains were wiped away, the entire wound was completely exposed in front of his eyes, looking at the injury, Jiang Yun's face suddenly changed. "Big brother, come and see."
"What's wrong?" Ji Feng has a noble status, and he is naturally not very good at autopsies, and he doesn't understand why Jiang Yun asked him to see the corpse. Instinctively, he stepped forward as he was told, and after just one glance, his handsome face became extremely ugly in a matter of time.
The wound ... It's too familiar, and it's too recognizable! The wound that cut the neck was not in the shape of a regular line, but a "Z" shape that folded slightly outward, which was very irregular and was not caused by ordinary swords and other sharp weapons. It is precisely because of this particularity that the two of them immediately recalled the familiar scene of the day, in the inconspicuous tiled house in the capital, a pair of dog men and women who killed their mothers, and the fatal wound was the "Z" shape.
Iron fan! This is the shape of a wound that can only be caused by an open iron fan. And the person who uses the iron fan as a weapon in the impression of the two... There is only one.
Ji Feng's eyes widened angrily, and he suddenly stood up, looking left and right, but he didn't find anything. Gasping for breath for a moment, he erupted like a volcano that had been sleeping for a long time. "Xiao Yan, you come out for me! Come out! You promised me not to kill indiscriminately again! Dead nature does not change, it really does not change dead nature! You're out! ”
"Big brother, calm down." His gaffe had already attracted countless eyes, and Jiang Yun hurriedly grabbed him to persuade him.
"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? Ji Feng was like an angry cat, his whole body was upside down, and he hissed and roared: "She promised me!" She personally agreed! Why? This is just an ordinary shopkeeper, where did he offend her and hinder her? Do you have to kill people? This vicious woman, again and again, treats human life like a mustard, and is really violent! ”
Ji Feng was angry, and Jiang Yun was more puzzled... The eldest brother is right, the deceased is just an ordinary shopkeeper, although Pingliang Mansion is not far from Shuntian Mansion, but after all, there is still more than a day away, Yan Wu came to kill someone who has nothing to do with it? This is no longer explained by the violent and perverse character, and there is no logical support at all.
It's weird! The only explanation is that Yan Wu's target is not the shopkeeper at all, but them, maybe Fang Yaqing's head suddenly went crazy again, and the idea of killing Jiang Yun was put on the agenda again. But that's not right, it's easy to kill them directly, why kill this little two who are completely out of bounds.
Could it be that the iron fan is crooked?
Jiang Yun was in a daze, and a team of men in fast-catching uniforms hurriedly rushed up from downstairs, and the leader had a solemn face, coldly glanced at the faces of everyone on the second floor, and then grabbed the fat shopkeeper not far away. "What about the murderer?"
The fat shopkeeper looked at Ji Feng cautiously. "My lord, no one has seen the murderer commit the murder, but this person seems to know the murderer, these four people are together, and it is possible that the murderer is in the same party. They had just checked into the shop when the murder happened. ”
"What did you say, dead fat?" Ji Luo was furious when he heard this.
"Hmph." The leader snorted coldly, waved his big hand, and said, "Take these four people to the yamen!" ”
