Chapter 236: Arrest (II)
Mo Xun looked at the other party's appearance, but he was just an old man over half a hundred years old, and couldn't help but tease: "You claim to know everything about the twin floors, so guess what is the purpose of my visit this time?" ”
The old man twisted his beard, "Of course, for the sake of recent events, if the old man is not mistaken, the prince is the same as the prince this time, to investigate this matter, or even someone, right?" ”
Mo Xun did not refute the other party's speculation, nodded directly, and then said his intention.
originally thought that the other party should not know as much as himself, but the old man's words slapped him in the face alive.
"Lanling Kingdom assassins? Truth be told, they're downstairs from you. The old man pointed to the ground and motioned for them to beneath him.
"What do you mean by that? Are they bound to sin, and will you harbor them? Mo Xun asked.
The old man smiled indifferently: "No, no, no, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, last night's battle really made me think hard, if they hadn't given me medical expenses later, do you think they would still be here?" ”
Mo Xun wanted to make trouble, and even wanted to offer to give them double the price to drive them out, but was rejected by the old man's first-come, first-served rule.
Seeing that they were now living in the Twin Towers, Mo Xun began to wonder if they were in a group.
But obviously, the old man saw through Mo Xun's thoughts.
"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, even if we can defeat the government, it doesn't mean that we can go against the government, and besides, this is just a place to buy and sell intelligence, and we won't work for anyone." The old man corrected his thoughts and said.
Subsequently, the old man took Mo Xuanyin to the private room on the second floor, and then let him observe the situation inside through the window.
"Your Royal Highness, please." The old man said.
Mo Xun felt that the other party was a little inexplicable, but when he looked closer, he saw that the person inside was practicing the disguise technique, and he saw that one person was smearing something on the other person's face, and then after a while, the other party's face changed, although it could not be said that his face had changed drastically, but it was difficult to remember the true face just now.
"It's... Is this disguise? Mo Xun was surprised.
After returning to the room, the old man looked at Mo Xun and said, "I don't know this information, is it the sincerity of our stacking double floors?" ”
Mo Xun then thanked the other party, and then left the inn with the news.
"Boss, will you break the rules by doing this?" Xiao Er on the side said.
"I'm also one of the ways to sell intelligence, but in a different way, and the prince is also preparing to close the net." The old man opened Mo Xuanyin's flying pigeon book and sneered.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Mo Xun told Mo Xuanyin what he saw, although Mo Xuanyin was surprised, but this is also a very important piece of information.
"I didn't expect them to be assassins who could disguise themselves, no wonder I didn't recognize them before." Mo Xuanyin sighed.
"Then we can do it now, right?" Mo Xun said excitedly.
"Of course, now that they've all relaxed, we're ready to close the net." Mo Xuanyin said.
Three days later, nothing happened to the stacked twin buildings, and even the Lanling people who went out did not have any incident, which made Gu Miaoxuan a little surprised, they actually didn't come to arrest him.
However, despite this, Gu Miaoxuan was still vigilant around her, and every time Xiao Er brought up a meal, she had to let the other party eat a few bites first to confirm safety.
On the evening of the fourth day, Xiao Er still walked to the room on the second floor with food, but the silence around made Gu Miaoxuan feel very strange.
After putting down the meal, Gu Miaoxuan asked, "Little Er, why is it so quiet tonight?" There's no sound in the next room? ”
Xiao Er explained helplessly: "Today, the people from the government came to make trouble, and many guests didn't dare to stay longer, and the bodyguards' injuries were not healed, and even the guests in the house checked out this morning and left." ”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Gu Miaoxuan looked at the other party's face differently, so she kept an eye on it.
"Little Er, let's have a few bites." Gu Miaoxuan said.
"Coming back?" Xiao Er looked at the delicacies on the table, and had to eat them reluctantly, not forgetting to complain about their vigilance.
After eating a few bites of each dish, Xiao Er burped contentedly, "Guest, why don't I eat here first, if the shopkeeper finds out, I won't be able to deal with it." ”
At this time, Gu Miaoxuan was relieved to let him leave, but the subordinates on the side began to complain.
"County Lord, you're a little too careful outside, aren't you?"
"yes, there's not much to cook." The other complained.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, we are surrounded by people now, and it is very likely that the twin buildings are colluding with the government and are ready to betray us at any time." Gu Miaoxuan explained.
Everyone didn't pay attention to it so much and ate it directly, and they didn't forget to leave a little for Gu Miaoxuan during the period, and she watched them eat for half an hour before moving the chopsticks.
In the next few days, the situation of the stacked twin buildings was just like what Xiao Er said before, the business was not as good as day by day, and everyone began to get used to this situation, and even Gu Miaoxuan began to relax a little.
After receiving their information, Mo Xuanyin laughed, "It's time to start." ”
One night, there were no more guests in the twin floors, and even the remaining tenants left their rooms this morning, leaving Gu Miaoxuan's people in the entire inn.
Even when Xiao Er came to the room, he couldn't help but complain to them.
"Alas, now it's really because of a small loss, doing your business, offending the government, how can we gain a foothold in the future?"
However, Gu Miaoxuan didn't pay attention to it so much, since they lived by themselves, unless they had no money, they would have nowhere else to go.
Xiao Er put down the meal, and then left the room, this time, Gu Miaoxuan did not let him eat first.
Looking at the dishes on the table, when everyone hadn't moved their chopsticks, they saw Xiao Er bring other dishes up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a small stove opened by the shopkeeper for you, please leave as soon as you finish eating." Xiao Er said.
Another person expressed dissatisfaction, "Why did we stay here, why did you drive us away?" ”
Xiao Erden was anxious, "If you don't leave, our store will not be open for a long time, if we let the inn stay because of greeting you, we can only eat the northwest wind." ”
Everyone ignored it and drove Xiao Er out directly.
After eating, Gu Miaoxuan felt that something was wrong, so she asked someone downstairs to see the situation.
However, downstairs, only the shopkeeper settled the accounts, and Xiao Er sat bored and drank tea with a leisurely look.
After reporting the situation, everyone was relieved.
As everyone knows, their every move is in their observation.
"Now, everyone, go in!"
After resting in the room for a while, Gu Miaoxuan felt a little tired, and at this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps around.
"Oops!"
When he reacted, he saw that the officers and soldiers had already swarmed in, and after a while, they surrounded the inn.
"County Lord, the big thing is not good, the people of the government have surrounded the stacked twin buildings." I saw that my subordinates said weakly.
Thinking that there was a problem with the meal just now, Gu Miaoxuan remembered that the meal just now had not been tried for Xiao Er.
"Careless, everyone, get ready to leave!" Gu Miaoxuan said.
After a while, I saw that the officers and soldiers ran up one after another, blocking the way down.
At this time, two companions stood up: "County Lord, you leave first, and leave this to us." ”
Gu Miaoxuan gritted her teeth and had to leave helplessly with one person.
The officers and soldiers rushed up, and the shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and Gu Miaoxuan and one of them took the opportunity to jump out of the window and leave.
However, before landing, I saw archers suddenly appear from all around, and in order to cover Gu Miaoxuan, the last companion also died in the random arrows.
"County Lord, let's go!" After saying this, he closed his eyes.
After escaping, Gu Miaoxuan felt that her body had recovered, looked at the soldiers surrounded by her, and snorted coldly and killed in the crowd.
"Boom... Brush! ”
Gu Miaoxuan's martial arts made the surrounding soldiers feel very weird, and even they had never seen such a posture, and it didn't take long for her to kill a bloody path.
Dodging a soldier's horse, Gu Miaoxuan immediately ran in reverse to the city gate, everyone wanted to chase after it, but it was too late.
On the other hand, in the stacked twin buildings, the two severed Lanling people have been subdued, ready for tomorrow's interrogation.
Mo Xuanyin was very satisfied when he saw the two assassins being escorted out, but when the soldiers reported later, they learned a shocking fact.
"What do you say? Gu Miaoxuan not only knows martial arts, but also is very powerful? Mo Xuanyin said in surprise.
The soldier probably talked about the situation at that time, and Mo Xuanyin was suddenly a little surprised, in this way, the people of Lanling had a motive, and these things made sense.
In the morning of the next day, the ministers waited a little upset, because Mo Xuanyin had not yet come out at this time.
However, after a while, Mo Xuanyin took two men in black with him, and even the coroner.
"Zhongqing's family, I've been waiting for a long time, this prince knows that you have been shouting to find the murderer all this time, and I will tell you now, the murderer is them!" Mo Xuanyin pointed to the two black-clothed men on the ground and said.
Mo Xuanyin waved his hand, only to see the soldiers take off their headscarves, and two Lanling people appeared in front of everyone.
"Everyone, please see clearly, these are two assassins who have used the disguise technique, come here, wipe off their faces!" Mo Xuanyin said.
Then, I saw the soldiers take strips of cloth and wipe the things off their faces, and it was a different face.
Just when everyone was stunned, Mo Xuanyin said: "Everyone, this is the Lanling people who know how to disguise, they are the ones who sneaked into the palace to assassinate their father before!" ”
Time, everyone looked at them, and the anger in their eyes almost swallowed them both.
