Chapter 210: No one in the afternoon market
While talking, someone returned outside, and the movement of Su Jinyu's interrogation downstairs was much smaller.
She and Xue An went out and checked her and Kuang Yu, as well as Su Jinyu and Xue An's rooms in turn.
Under the bed, they all hid people.
After watching a circle, the two went downstairs and informed the situation and Kuang Yu, who came back, and Su Jinyu, who suspended the interrogation.
Kwong Yu frowned.
Su Jin was stunned.
The people tied to the ground had already loosened their ropes and stood to the side with their eyes bowed and their hands bowed.
Su Jinyu made a lot of movements, but she didn't beat people as soon as she came up.
Because at the beginning, the shopkeeper said a lot.
The shopkeeper's surname is Wang, and he looks to be in his fifties, with a generous face.
Jade is not a big city, the whole city is only 10,000 people, it was the queen who loved him by the ancestor Shengshang, and the queen's hometown was lifted up at the county level.
It takes no more than two quarters to ride a horse across the city, and the road is faster, and the horse is quicker.
Although Yunlai Inn is an industry under the Dispatch Cloud Villa, it is also a big store in this small city, and it is not ranked in the list of Dispatch Cloud Villa, and Kuang Yu has not personally been familiar with it. At the beginning, he was just trying to spread his own eyeliner across the country, so in addition to the Yunyun business, Jade Wing also has a Yunlai Inn and a jewelry building called Jade Twist.
Unlike Linxian, it blooms everywhere.
The four of them combined the information and knew that this matter had nothing to do with the shopkeeper.
If the store had known, there would have been no hiding in every room. The money and jewelry in the room were all intact, and these people, except for the few carts of salutes, were clearly coming for Orange Moon and Si.
The two of them got into Jiang Linglong's carriage as soon as they got off the boat, if they didn't know in advance, there was no possibility of watching these two people on the road.
Either there were ghosts on his ship, or the people who did it knew and were familiar with their movements.
Kuang Yu pulled out a chair and sat down boldly, and ordered the king's shopkeeper to step forward to answer.
Shopkeeper Wang looked very energetic, and his speech was neutral, but he was also quite worried at the moment.
Kuang Yu asked, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the owner meant, raised his hand to bless, and then went back and nodded carefully, before he came back and replied, "Yes." Three days ago, the trotting hall Gua Wa in the store suddenly stopped coming to work, and the store was short of manpower, so he hurriedly recruited a new one. He cleaned the rooms of several people in the morning, and I saw it just now, but no one was there. ”
He described in detail the appearance of the new recruit running hall again. Medium stature, is a person who looks bad or bad, and looks very ordinary. So ordinary that you may have seen him in the crowd, but when you look back, you will forget what he looks like. After all, it's too ordinary to be distinctive.
Jiang Linglong listened to it, and suddenly felt that being able to grow into such a passer-by face was also a skill.
Kwong Yu asked him how his business was in the morning and how it compared.
"If you go back to your father, there are only a few of you staying today, there are not many people staying in the store this season, and when the spring really begins, there are more people who go to the goods, and the store is considered to be the peak season of the top."
Kwong Yu bowed his head.
"But there are a lot of people who come to eat at the restaurant. In the morning, there were several batches of visitors, most of whom were regular customers, some came to have a cup of tea, and some had lunch at noon. As soon as you came, there was a wave of people walking by, and it seemed that they were not local to the city, as if they were passing by in a hurry like you. There were two tables in the hall, and there were about seventeen or eighteen people. ”
Shopkeeper Wang recalled the words and immediately discovered that something was wrong.
"This wave of people is also the newcomer to the reception."
Kwong Yu knows it. Seventeen or eighteen people, which is the size of two tables, and it is not obvious that there are a few fewer when they leave.
But it's not easy to get people out of the stairs. Even if there is an internal response, there are three or four running halls in front of the inn, and there are a few helpers behind, how can two people be carried downstairs from the room to the inn without being discovered?
What's more, there are still those cars of luggage, how can such a big movement not be known?
Jiang Linglong was thinking about it, and glanced at Kuang Yu inadvertently.
The two wanted to go together.
This matter is full of doubts.
It looked like a robber, but he only stole the salute, there was no trace of turning in the house, and the thousands of taels of silver tickets in Kuang Yu's purse were still lying quietly inside.
It's not like just for money, killing people and getting more goods. The goal of this group is quite clear, and they move quickly and neatly, without hesitation.
If the shopkeeper was a conspiracy, the group of people standing in the store could have withdrawn together, and the building would have been empty. They are still there, and a key running hall has disappeared, so there is a high probability that only that running hall is an internal response.
Jiang Linglong thought hard, but the more she thought about it, the more questions she raised, she was worried about Orange Moon and Si Huang, and her heart had no direction.
"Can you tell me more about the situation in the city? When I saw the lunch market, the streets were empty, and the doors of houses were closed, and I was a little curious. ”
Kwong Yu asked calmly.
He had a hunch that their slumber had something to do with the absence of people in the city. Because Long'er couldn't bear to cry out for sleepiness, they had just entered the city not long ago.
"Ugh." When the shopkeeper Wang heard him ask, he couldn't help but sigh, "Originally, the lunch market in the city was very lively, but two months ago, people who had lunch and went to the street would fall asleep on the ground inexplicably, and then people disappeared one after another, and everyone thought it was evil to enter the city, so now no one goes out at noon, and they all wait for the evening when the sun goes down to come out for activities." You've just gone out, and it's bustling on the streets, isn't it? The previous lunch market has been changed to a night market. Anyway, they set up stalls before the curfew, and the people in the city have something to eat. ”
Jiang Linglong heard it, and went to look at Kuang Yu again. The latter's eyes are hidden under the eyelashes, and they can't really see it. But it's like when he thinks about it.
Sometimes when he thinks about things, he will have a state of no distractions and a state of concentration. Even if you don't do anything, just sitting there is a state of alienation, and you don't get close to people.
After a moment, he raised his eyes, thanked him like a shopkeeper, and added two large silver ingots as an apology.
The shopkeeper didn't even dare to say it, but he didn't ask for it.
The group went upstairs again and discussed in the house.
As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper Wang brought someone upstairs to deliver dinner.
He didn't stay, but thinking that since the matter was quite serious, he mentioned it more and asked if he wanted to report it to the official. The reputation of the store is not as important as human life. If it is inconvenient for the proprietor, he can go to the yamen on his behalf.
Kuang Yu thanked him, but he didn't say anything about reporting to the official, and the shopkeeper Wang didn't force it, saying that he could command him at any time when he needed it, so he waited for the dish to finish and retreated with people.
Xue An got up and went to close the door.
Jiang Linglong looked at Kuang Yu, wondering if he didn't report to the official, whether it was because those cars of luggage were not visible, or because he was suspicious of Liang Yi'an.
If Liang Yi'an sent someone to do this, it would make sense. After all, he has many eyes and ears, and he is quite familiar with them, so it seems logical to give them a dismount when they enter the city, and snatch those weapons by the way.
