"You're back." Boss Xing had been guarding behind the counter, and as soon as they walked in, he greeted them.

"The boy who was with you came back half an hour ago, and he packed the food, so I didn't leave food for you."

"I'm tired." Lan Baobao saluted the boss and followed Jin Lingluo upstairs.

Probably hearing their voices, when they came to the second floor, Feng Wei happened to come out of his room.

"You're finally back." Feng Wei looked at them with a reassuring smile on his face.

Jin Lingluo nodded and said, "Go in." ”

When the three of them returned to the room, the blue baby couldn't help but grumble when he saw the food on the table at a glance.

The noise was not loud, but the room was too quiet, so it was particularly abrupt.

Feng Wei couldn't help but smile and looked at the blue baby blushing, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, for fear that the other party would be annoyed and angry and rush over to scratch him.

And at this moment, the blue baby just wants to find a crack in the ground to get into, and no one dares to look at it with his head down.

"Let's eat first." Jin Lingluo said suddenly.

Feng Wei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately complied, "You guys must be hungry when you run outside." Chu hurried over, and if he didn't eat, the food would be cold. ”

They gave it to the bottom of the stairs, and the blue baby endured a guilty heart and sat down.

Feng Wei came back early, and the food was already cold, but fortunately he went to the kitchen again a quarter of an hour ago to heat up the food, although the taste was not as good as when he first brought it back, it was much better than the noodles last night.

Blue Baby has never been a picky eater, and in addition to the embarrassment just now, her stomach is indeed hungry, so in order to hide her embarrassment, she only eats with her head bored.

After eating a meal, the blue baby is finally no longer embarrassed. At the suggestion of King Ling, she told them about their current experience, and deliberately erased their acting and fooling things.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when she said it to the end, King Ling seemed to look at her with a deep meaning.

Feng Wei didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the two, but said worriedly: "Listening to what you said, those people don't look like assassins, but it's probably a matter of time before the assassins chase here." ”

Jin Lingluo nodded, took something out of his arms, and pushed it to the middle of the table.

Feng Wei glanced at the two of them, and then took the things, and the blue baby looked at it with his neck on the side.

It was a wooden plaque that was longer than the palm of her hand, one finger thick, the wood color was very ordinary and a little black, and it looked a little old.

Feng Wei took the wooden card and looked at it twice, his face changed slightly, and he looked at King Ling to confirm: "This is the token carried by the prisoners who serve?" ”

"Not bad." Jin Lingluo replied.

"You found it in Xifeng Mountain?" Feng Wei asked again.

"I speculate that this person was just over 30 victims two years ago," Jin Lingluo said.

Feng Wei frowned, thinking that this legendary mountain god is really not taboo, and he dares to absorb any essence.

Blue Baby asked beside him, "Could it be that the more than thirty people who died that year were all prisoners?" Some people are deliberately used to spread rumors. ”

"No, it won't." Jin Lingluo replied affirmatively.

Blue Baby looked at them puzzled.

Feng Wei explained to her: "Many of the prisoners are sent from other places to serve, and there are no families here. If the people behind the scenes want to cause panic among the people of Zhangcheng, then at least half of the more than 30 shortages must be locals, so as to attract the attention of the local people and achieve their goals. ”

Blue Baby nodded knowingly and quietly gave Feng Wei a thumbs up, who gave her a smug smile.

"What's going on over there at the Yamen?" Jin Lingluo's gaze swept over the two of them and asked.

"The gate was closed, there was not even a guard at the door, and the subordinates stepped forward to beat the drum and shout grievances, and it took a long time for someone to poke their heads out of the crack in the door, and they didn't ask anything, they just drove people out." When Feng Wei reached this, he was angry in his heart.

A dignified assassin's mansion is actually like a decoration, closing the door regardless of the rights and wrongs outside, it is really in vain to be a parent official.

"Later, the subordinates went to beat the drum several times, but each time they were driven away, and the number of times was too much, and they even wanted to torture their subordinates." Feng Wei became more and more angry, if it weren't for his good cultivation, it is estimated that he would have to pound the table at this time.

Lan Baobao handed over a cup of tea and said in a reassuring voice: "Calm your anger and anger, it's important to get down to business." ”

Feng Wei glanced at her, thanked her, and felt really much better, so he continued: "The subordinates couldn't get in, so they asked the people nearby to inquire about the situation, and this inquiry only learned that as early as two years ago, after the mountain god was angry, the yamen was no longer in charge. ”

"At first, I was willing to accept the case, but every time I closed the case in a hurry, and gradually closed the door in twos and threes, and then because most of the residents in the city moved away, the yamen simply didn't care about things. This is not today, it has really become an ornament with the court's money. ”

"Wouldn't it be more troublesome for them to be afraid that there would be chaos in the city, and then something would come out and attract the attention of the above?" Blue Baby asked in surprise.

Feng Wei said very approvingly: "At first, I also had this kind of doubt, until later I went to the Yamen again, and I happened to meet the head catcher of the Yamen. It was as if they had just returned from their errands, and I blocked people and shouted grievances. ”

"Aren't you afraid of being exposed?" Blue Baby raised an eyebrow and interjected.

"I was prepared, I threw away my money bag and told them that the money had been stolen, and that even if they tried to search me, they would not find anything."

"And then? Did they ignore you? Blue Baby asked.

Feng Wei nodded, "That head catcher looks like an iron-clad man, and he is also upright, and after listening to my words, he immediately asked his subordinates to follow me to find silver." ”

"With such a high evaluation, what has he done?" Blue Baby asked in surprise.

Feng Wei waved his hand and said: "Actually, this is not my evaluation, but the evaluation of the people in the city about him." According to the current yamen, only this head catcher is willing to share the worries and solve problems for the people. The few catchers under his hands should be good. ”

"Have you gotten your money back?" Blue Baby asked again.

Feng Wei spread his hand and replied: "Not yet, I will leave the Lin address, and if I find it, I will send it over." ”

"When did you meet those people? How many are there? Jin Lingluo suddenly asked.

Feng Wei recalled before saying, "Around noon, there were eight people in total. ”

"The person who is not wearing an official uniform, and the person who is the leader is about thirty years old, wearing a dark arrow sleeve robe?" Jin Lingluo asked again.

Feng Wei nodded in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

As soon as the words landed, he immediately reacted. Not only him, but also the blue baby quickly figured it out.

"They're the ones you met outside the city." Feng Wei said in surprise.

Blue Baby suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Did you tell them the address here?" ”

I remember that His Royal Highness had probably had an assassin in the government, and now they didn't know much about the head catcher, and it was not a good thing for him to know where to live.

"I'm not as stupid as you, and I'm leaving the address of the restaurant today." Feng Wei pouted at her, he didn't bring much silver with him when he went out, and he threw away the money bag just to test the people of the yamen, so he didn't plan to return the silver from the beginning.

Anyway, the owner of the restaurant didn't know where they lived, and if the money was found, it should be rewarded to him.

There is something unusual everywhere in Zhangcheng, the inaction of the yamen, and the strangeness behind the two-year case.

Originally, they didn't plan to stay here longer, but judging by the current situation, they are still staying for a few more days.

Lan Baobao was not afraid to stay for a few more days, what she was worried about was that if she continued to stay in the same room with King Ling, she would not only not sleep well, but also worry about revealing her identity at any time.

After thinking about it, she found an excuse to go downstairs, thinking that she would have to let the boss open another room no matter what, even if she slept in a dusty room, she would have to be separated from King Ling.

However, she made up her mind too early, and when she was sure that she would be able to get to a new room tonight, she couldn't find her boss.

She knocked on all the rooms on the first floor with a candle, including the two rooms in the backyard and the kitchen, but there was no response, not even half a figure in sight.

Hey, it's really unlucky, I just picked a boss to come over when he wasn't there.

It's already so late, where can the boss go?

Will she continue to wait downstairs, or will she go upstairs first?

Blue Baby hesitated for a moment, and was about to pick a stool in the lobby to sit on, when there was a sudden clang outside the door.

When she turned her head to look, she realized that the lantern outside the door had been extinguished.

It was dark outside, and occasionally the night wind blew through and made an eerie noise.

When the sound rang a few more times, the blue baby felt that something was banging on the door, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Holding the candle in his hand, he slowly approached the door and asked through the closed door, "Who is it?" ”

After waiting for a while, no one answered.

She dared to ask again, but still no one answered.

At this time, a night wind blew outside, and the sound of banging on the door was heard again.

Blue Baby took two steps back in horror, turned around and ran upstairs, and got into King Ling's room in one go.

The lights were on in the room, and King Ling sat on the edge of the bed reading a book, and when the blue baby saw this picture, he was immediately relieved.

It's just that after the fright just now, her legs are now weak, and she can only support her body against the door, touching her chest and trying to calm the fear in her heart.

Although she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she can come back from the dead and travel into a space that didn't exist in history, so it's not surprising that there are ghosts in this world.

Zhangcheng was so big but empty, there were only three of them in this inn, and there was a strange knock on the door outside but no one answered, all these signs made her have to think crankily.

"What's going on?" Jin Lingluo saw that her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she looked overly frightened, so she put down the book in her hand and walked over.

Blue Baby raised his head with palpitations, and when he saw King Ling getting closer and closer to him, he suddenly seemed to be less afraid.

"What's wrong?" Jin Lingluo stopped in front of her and asked again.

"I heard someone banging on the door downstairs just now, but I asked, and there was no one outside." Blue Baby lifted his hand and pointed down.

"Did you go out and see?" Jin Lingluo asked.

Blue Baby shook her head, "Then I heard the wind and thought maybe something was blown up by the wind and hit the door, so I came up. ”

The summer atmosphere is like this, the sky is clear one moment, and the next moment it will be cloudy and stormy.

Jin Lingluo also heard the wind outside when he was reading in the house, so he didn't think much about it, but said, "It's late at night, let's rest early." ”

Lan Baobao, who originally wanted to sleep in a room alone, nodded without thinking about it at the moment, and hurriedly followed King Ling in.

After looking left and right, I wanted to put together a few chairs in the room and make do with a night's sleep.

But she had just moved a stool here, and King Ling suddenly spoke again, "It's been hard to travel these days, you go here to sleep." ”

The movement of Lan Baobao's hand paused, and when she looked up, she saw that King Ling actually patted the bed, and she was immediately shocked that her legs were weak, and she barely stood firm on the chair.
