Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Caravan Is Intercepted
"What you think is right, it's just that we can't touch the bottom of Jing Yitang now, and it's still a little troublesome, I don't know what happened to Zhang Wenqiao." Zhao Yunling sighed, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the dead leaves on the book.
"I hope he hasn't found out anything at this time, if he finds out anything at this time, and we're not here, if someone behind Jing Yitang finds out again, he may ......"
Wang Erquan said, glancing at the merchants of the Western Regions who were resting against a tree not far away.
He didn't say it, but both of them understood this meaning, if this was the case, Zhang Wenqiao might also be assassinated by others, but it was not so simple to do it in the city, Zhao Yunling thought for a while: "Let's rush back first." ”
"Yes."
After the merchants of the Western Regions rested for a while, and there was no big problem, Zhao Yunling was about to go out, and just after walking for a while, Zhao Yunling suddenly scolded to the side: "Who! ”
As soon as the words fell, the people had already chased them out, Wang Erquan thought about it, and stayed by the side of the merchant in the Western Regions.
Zhao Yunling chased out for a while, but didn't find anyone, she glanced around, and then slowly turned around and made it look like she was going back, there was no movement behind her, she returned to the opposite house, and saw that the merchants of the Western Regions were doing well.
"We're going to hurry back."
It was indeed someone staring in the dark just now, but that person's light skills were not weak, and she couldn't catch up for a while.
Wang Erquan glanced over there; "Miss, could that person be here for this merchant from the Western Regions?"
"Let's go back first."
The group hurried back to the city, and after entering the passenger station, they asked people to invite a doctor to come over, Zhang Wenqiao saw that the two people were back, he breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the two of them tea, and watched them drink before saying: "Miss......"
Before he could speak, he heard a knock on the door outside, Zhang Wenqiao had to stop first, it was the shopkeeper who brought hot water.
Zhao Yunling went back to his room to wash, and after cleaning up, the doctor also came over, asked him to show the merchants in the Western Regions, and prescribed medicine for the shopkeeper to boil up, and then Zhao Yunling relaxed.
Zhang Wenwan looked at the person lying on the bed: "Miss, what's going on?" ”
"Their caravan was intercepted and killed, and only this one was left half-dead."
Hearing this, Zhang Wenqiao was startled, and his face changed: "This, this ......"
"Don't be nervous yet, now that the person has been rescued, has there been any progress on the matter over there in Jing Yitang, which I asked you to check?" Zhao Yunling gave him a blank look.
Isn't this man still dead, how can he be healed and frightened like this?
Wouldn't he be scared to death if he saw the private individuals in the caravan?
Zhang Wenqiao swallowed his saliva, felt Zhao Yunling's contempt, thought of the neatness and ruthlessness of this eldest lady when she beat people, and silently stepped back, and then said: "The time is too short, there is no specific news for the time being, but I can be sure that this is definitely something we dare not think about." ”
"What else we don't dare to think about, it's just a collusion between officials and businessmen, with the power of the imperial court, this Jingyitang is a domineering principal." Zhao Yunling joked.
She is just talking, the power of the imperial court is so easy to obtain, and besides, there are no forces in this city that are too high and powerful......
She shook her head, it was impossible for someone with real status to look at it.
Zhang Wenqiao didn't say anything more, no matter what he said now, let's wait for the news first.
Zhao Yunling tossed for so long, he hadn't had a good rest since he came to the north, yawned, let people look at the Western Regions merchant well, and then had something to call her, so he went back to the room, and went to sleep as soon as the door was closed.
On the other side, Yueqing hurriedly returned to the courtyard, he didn't expect Miss Zhao's sensitivity to be so strong, he just followed from a distance, and was discovered by her when he accidentally made a little movement.
Entering the study, Yueqing arched her hand: "Childe, Miss Zhao came back from rescuing a merchant from the Western Regions in the desert, and now she is in the inn, and she is investigating the affairs of Jing Yitang, and it seems that she suspects that those things were done by Jing Yitang." ”
"Jing Yitang?" Rong Yan frowned, he didn't have any reflection of these.
"Jing Yitang is also looking at selling preserved lychees, isn't Miss Zhao coming here for this time? I guess that's because of that. Yueqing said.
"Hmm." Rong Yan nodded and didn't speak.
"And ...... Miss Zhao's acumen is really amazing, and her subordinates were almost discovered by Miss Zhao just now, Childe, we have to be more careful in the future.
Rong Yan thought of the look shown by Zhao Yunling when they met for the first time, and he would find that Yueqing was not too strange, so he just responded lightly: "Pay attention in the future." ”
"Yes."
Yue Qing answered and stood aside without speaking, and after a long while, Rong Yan glanced up at him; "What else did you find this time?"
"Nope." Yueqing said honestly: "Miss Zhao and that Wang Erquan came back directly after finding someone in addition to tracking down the merchants of the Western Regions, and they didn't do anything else halfway, as if these two people had nothing to do with that matter at all, Childe, did we go in the wrong direction, maybe that Wang Erquan ......"
Facing Shangrong Yan's cold gaze, Yueqing was silent for a moment before continuing: "Maybe that Wang Erquan just wants to find a place to settle down after the failure of the matter, and Miss Zhao may not know these things." ”
Rong Yan fell into deep thought, got up and walked to the window.
Yueqing stood behind and didn't speak again.
Whether Zhao Yunling has anything to do with this matter, Rong Yandao is still uncertain.
If it didn't matter, how could she take in Wang Erquan so happily? But now that I think about it, that Zhang Wenwan is still looking for trouble at home, doesn't she also trust and rely on it?
If it had anything to do with it, but so much time had passed, Zhao Yunling didn't have any other actions except for being busy with business, so she practiced in the north, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, could it be that she really thought wrong?
This Wang Erquan, if it is useless......
Rong Yan lowered his eyes, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but it was hidden for a moment.
In any case, there is no clue about this matter now, and Wang Erquan is the only person who knows that it has something to do with that matter, and he can't die so easily.
At that time, the group of Deadpools were suddenly assassinated, and the matter came unexpectedly, after the matter was revealed, most of them were hanged, and some committed suicide, and among the few people who escaped, they all died on the road, and only Wang Erquan survived.
"Childe, what should we do now?"
Yueqing asked in the back, Rong Yan rubbed her eyebrows, so long has passed, but there is no clue about this matter, not only can she sit still after exchanging dry cooking, but even she feels that it is not okay to go on like this.
Since you're secretly waiting for nothing to come, let's go check it out.
Rong Yan's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Let's go out for a walk." ”
"Huh?"
Yue Qing paused for a moment, wasn't he just asking what should be done next, ah?
But Rong Yan had already gone out, and Yueqing had to follow, and soon Yueqing found out that the place where the salary was wandering was not far from the inn where Miss Zhao lived.
He suddenly didn't know what to say, where did Childe come here to do business, it was clear that he came to the north for Miss Zhao, right?
Zhao Yunling leaned against the window of the inn, after waking up, the sky had already darkened, and now it was dusk, and there were not many people on the street, she squinted and looked at it for a while, and then came down from the window, just at this time Zhang Wen's weak voice came from outside the room: "Miss, the person who went to inquire is back." ”
"I'll come."
Zhao Yunling answered, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly saw two familiar figures on the street outside the window, and after seeing it clearly, Zhao Yunling raised his eyebrows, why did the two masters and servants come over?
But at this time, she didn't have so much effort to think too much, so she straightened her clothes and went out.
Zhang Wenqiao was still waiting outside, waiting for her to come out before going over together, and after sitting down, the person who went to inquire spoke: "Miss, we found out, the preserved fruit sold in Jingyitang is said to be provided by the prefect." ”
"Prefect?"
Zhao Yunling frowned and didn't speak for a while.
The man continued: "Our brother inquired for a long time to get this news, and we didn't believe it at the time, so we went to verify it, and it is said that when Jing Yitang received the goods, the person who sent it was indeed from the prefect's mansion. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Wenwan looked at Zhao Yunling: "Then in this way, we are sure that Jing Yitang dares to act like this, and it is because of the support of the prefect that he is so busy and blatant." ”
Zhao Yunling nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, things will be a little difficult to do, and it will ......"
She glanced outside, the Western Regions businessman was cultivating next door, she said slowly: "Those Western Regions businessmen were intercepted and killed, this matter must be more than just Jing Yitang colluding with the prefect, Jing Yitang is a double tiger, the prefect is a person from the imperial court, it is impossible to blatantly raise a killer, in other words, even if a killer is raised, it will not be used to do this kind of thing, that is to say, ......"
"What does Miss mean is that those who intercepted and killed the merchants of the Western Regions were not Jing Yitang or the prefect, but most likely bandits?" Zhang Wenqiao took the conversation.
Wang Erquan said again: "We have been here for such a long time, there is a wave of bandits around here, and it seems that they have not come to plague the city, and they have not been strangled, if it is really such a collusion, then ...... It's even more troublesome. ”
"It's still our guess after all." Zhao Yunling sighed, and asked people to bring the merchant from the Western Regions over, and after the people sat down, Zhao Yunling asked: "Do you remember the people who intercepted and killed you at that time, what are the characteristics?" ”
