Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Suspicious Team

After three years of lockdown, it is not particularly strange to choose to buy goods into the city as soon as the ban is lifted.

But the reason why these people attracted the attention of the night sparrow was because their walking posture and the temperament exuded from their bodies were not quite in line with the characteristics that the night sparrow had observed these days belonged to Beiao Guorao.

For example, when the people of the Northern Proud Country take a step, they will take a very big step, which makes them appear to be very heroic and uninhibited.

But these purchase steps, although they are not as dignified and polite as their Nan Yuguo, but they do look very delicate, and this kind of delicate air is different from the steps in the general sense.

Night Sparrow carefully observed the focus of their footsteps, and found that they did not look like people from the Northern Proud Country, and the entire soles of their feet were directly attached to the ground; It's not like the people of their southern kingdom, who first hit the ground with their heels, and then slowly closed the soles of their feet.

They walk as if they are on tiptoe all the time. The whole time up and down, their heels were not completely touching the ground, and they looked like they were floating in mid-air.

Although the clothes on their bodies are not very luxurious, they look like the linen clothes worn by ordinary people of low status, and if you look closely, there are even some patches, which can be said to have made these external details to the extreme.

However, this dress, no matter how shabby, can hardly hide the temperament of their body, which is different from ordinary people.

This sense of contradiction only makes them stand out from the crowd even more.

At the distance from outside the city gate to the registration of entering the city, Night Sparrow had already seen a lot of ordinary people, and they all cast curious eyes on this group of people.

But the gang didn't seem to care.

They wear this kind of clothing as if they are giving themselves a psychological comfort, or giving perfunctory treatment to certain people.

When they entered the city, they unabashedly took out some jade plaques and other things, and after the guards guarding the city gate saw it, they let them all enter the city without saying anything.

Night Sparrow even noticed that the guards at the city gate changed slightly when they saw the jade plaque they had taken out. There is even a hint of restraint in the attitude.

They flickered their eyes, and then, as if impatient, they hurried the men into the city.

Obviously, this group of people even brought more people and things than the others who entered the city. But they had much less time to enter the city than the others who entered the city.

After these people entered the city, they did go to the commercial area in the capital.

Night Sparrow noted the direction in which the group disappeared, but did not immediately follow, but handed over the rest of the tracking task to the people on Mrs. Lin's side, who was on good terms with Sima Jingling.

Nightfinch looked at an inconspicuous man, like an ordinary man who had come out of the house and was anxious to go to work, and quietly and unobtrusively followed, and no longer paid attention to the man who had caught her attention.

What she noticed now were a few others, who had also been staring at the gang from beginning to end.

Before the night sparrow went out, he actually knew in his heart that those who had the same purpose as himself would definitely take this opportunity to screen those suspicious people at the city gate.

Moreover, Sima Jingling also reminded her that she must pay attention to those who are not going to enter and leave the city, but always pay attention to the situation at the city gate.

Because after the two people who were noticed by Qiulan died, the only way for Wei Jing to get the news from the Donglin Kingdom was to open the city gates, so that those who were watching everything in secret and felt that they had controlled some of the Donglin people of Bei Ao slowly floated to the surface.

So Wei Jing chose this method and made this decision, so he had to see with his own eyes whether it would work.

Although according to common sense, it is not very likely that there will be a suspicious Rao in the first place.

But for Wei Jinglai, he will definitely not let go of any possibility.

Of course, it is really surprising to be able to find suspicious people at the first time when the ban is lifted.

However, from this point, it can be seen that Donglin Guorao is extremely confident.

Perhaps in the eyes of these Donglin Guorao, they are already in a position to win, and then, the question of whether this is a trap is no longer important to them.

When Night Sparrow saw Wei Jing's people, they also divided a part of them to follow the suspicious team, while the rest of the people left the city gate, as if they were preparing to report the matter here to Wei Jing.

Nightsparrow thought about it and decided to leave.

The number of people coming in and out of the gates gradually increased, but the place where the Night Sparrow was was no longer there, and it was as if no one had ever been there.

Wei Jing's remaining subordinates looked in the direction where Night Sparrow had left.

After finding no one there, he suppressed a trace of doubt in his heart and put it behind for the time being.

On the other side, the man who looked like a shopkeeper sent by Madame Lin was a young child that Lin had saved by accident after she had left the palace.

This kid is not very old, but he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Ever since he was rescued by Mrs. Lin, he has been following Mrs. Lin and helping Mrs. Lin with things.

He had never caused trouble with Mrs. Lynn all these years. Lady Lynn also valued him very much.

This time the task of keeping an eye was very important, and Mrs. Lin was not very worried about the others, so she called the child back and asked him to follow up on the matter.

Although when I saved this child, it was also because of a coincidence.

But Mrs. Lynn could see that the boy was a clever one. Know how to protect yourself, and know how to be improvised, and know how to deal with emergencies.

Even when he was at his most dangerous, he always protected his vital points, giving Mrs. Lin a chance to save him.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Mrs. Lin is, she will not be able to save a dead person.

The boy had been waiting at the nearest shop to the city gate.

When he saw that the night sparrow had signaled him, he hurried out and followed the group of people who had entered the city to a grain store.

This grain store is not big, and its shopkeeper also knows this child.

This shopkeeper has lived in the capital city for many years, and his background is extremely clean, and there are no cherry blossoms in the places where he feels suspicious

His family has never even gone out of the capital, even if they need to buy goods for business, the shopkeeper never goes to receive the goods in person.

They will go to those villages, find some surplus peasant households who want to exchange money, buy their grain, and then go back to the city, find the shopkeepers or managers of those grain stores, and resell the grain in their hands.

Therefore, the shopkeeper of this grain store can be regarded as a native of Dadu, and he will not have anything to do with Donglin at all.

The boy didn't dare to get too close, so he sat down on the curb under the archway of this street, and blended in perfectly with some of the vendors who came out to set up their stalls.

He looked at the men, unloaded the contents of the cart in the middle, and waited for the shopkeeper of the grain store to count them.

The boy took a closer look when the shopkeeper counted the goods, and found that it was indeed some ordinary rice, and there was nothing else special, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

He thought about it, took out two copper plates and exchanged a charcoal pencil with the vendor next to him, and then pretended to be being chased, ran to the door of the grain store in a panic, and made a few marks on the bags of rice while people were not paying attention.

The gang seemed to want to stop the child, but were stopped by the leader.

He raised his right hand, then shook his head at the rest of the people, motioning for them not to get into unnecessary arguments here.

When the rest of the people heard this, they all stood still.

After the shopkeeper of the grain store thoroughly checked the goods, they raised their feet and left.

It looks like he has run away to talk about the child, but in fact he has not gone far. He stopped after a turn, and I seemed to be in the spotlight

He secretly stuck his head out a little, silently watching the direction the group was leaving, thinking in his mind where they might be going, and decided to wait for them in that place in advance.

Just thinking about it, the kid found a problem.

The place where the gang went happened to be the restaurant where two Rao had just died. Oh yes, that place isn't a restaurant anymore.

Yesterday, Wei Jing injured and killed the people in the restaurant so without scruples, so that there was really no one left in this restaurant.

Besides, this restaurant has just died, even if you are more bold and not afraid of Wei Jing, there should be taboos.

As a result, the restaurant has not been cared for so far, and it looks like it is going to be so deserted.

So it's just this place, what are these guys going to do here?

The boy quickly relayed the message to Mrs. Linn about the situation, and then changed his costume and continued to follow the gang.

It's just that he didn't follow the group of Rao directly, but based on his understanding of the terrain in the city, he went to the colonel with the group from other directions and on other roads

The group arrived at the restaurant later than the kid because they were walking and stopping on the road.

They glanced at the restaurant that was guarded, confiscated by Wei Jing and ready to be auctioned, and then said to the guards in a common language that they were not very familiar with:

"We're interested in this, this building, can you buy it?"

The caretaker of the restaurant was confused, and it took him a long time to understand what this person meant.

He replied, "If you want to buy this restaurant, you have to find a local person to vouch for it." Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, our lord will not sell this restaurant to you. ”

"Guarantee?"

The leader listened to the guard's words, thought for a moment, and then said to the guard:

"If we already have a grain guarantee, who should we contact to go through this procedure? Or, what channel should we use to buy the restaurant? ”

The guards were a little surprised that the leader of the Rao official had spoken well, and then wondered in their hearts why it wasn't him who had just spoken.

But the caretaker of these things is also curious, and he doesn't have to ask for an answer.

After listening to the leader's doubts, he patiently introduced the process to them.

"First of all, you have to bring your guarantor, and then go to the yamen together to sign the guarantee in front of the county magistrate.

Secondly, take the letter of guarantee, bring the guarantor, bring the money, and go to the auction of this restaurant.

In the end, as long as you can get the highest price at the auction, then the restaurant will be yours.

But you don't have to worry about spending a lot of money. As far as I know, there aren't many people eyeing this piece of land, after all, something happened here just now, who would want to be contaminated with these bad luck? ”

After the caretaker said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have something wrong, so he quickly slapped himself in the mouth.

"Ahem, look at me, what are these doings. If you really want to buy this restaurant, hurry up and find a guarantor. After all, you are a foreigner, and there are still relatively few people who are willing to be your guarantor. ”

The leader nodded, thanked the guards for their kindness, and then left with the person he had sent to ask him at the beginning.

They gathered together, took a look at their surroundings, and felt that something was really inappropriate here, so they prepared to leave here and make plans again.

When they left, they happened to run into Wei Jing's people, and the two people passed by.

Wei Jing's people had no way to turn back immediately, so they could only pretend to be passers-by and continue to walk forward.

However, the child sent by Mrs. Lynn had left early after hearing what the gang had come to do, and had not met anyone.

The boy sent the news back to Mrs. Lin, who in turn passed the news to Sima Jingling.

After Sima Jingling heard this, she just responded lightly and said that she knew, and nothing else.

This made Qiulan a little puzzled again.

She thought about it for a while and didn't come up with any results, but she didn't want to bother Sima Jingling anymore, after all, there were too many problems with her.

So she looked at Apo and quietly asked Apu:

"Why didn't the master react to this news? Doesn't it mean that they have something to do with the two baits that were killed? ”

Ah Pu glanced at Sima Jingling, who was sitting in front of her and didn't know what she was looking at, turned her head and smiled and said softly to Qiulan: "Just by relying on this, it is impossible to determine that they must have something to do with the person we are looking for." ”

Qiulan still didn't understand, and continued to look at Apu, hoping that Apu could have a little more.

Apo smiled and put his finger to his mouth and sighed.

Raising the king is a problem
