Chapter 1174: Strictly guarded
Although Zhuang Mingyue's headache is because of the complexity of the matter and the difficulty of finding any clues, it is not really due to illness or other headaches.
But in this, I have to admit that because of such a thought by Long Yuanxiu, Zhuang Mingyue did feel the warmth from Long Yuanxiu's fingertips, and after pressing the acupuncture points when kneading, it did make her relax a little, so that she would not feel a headache like just now.
And Long Yuanxiu here, after seeing Zhuang Mingyue's frowning brows and slightly relaxed, he spoke out again to comfort, "Since even the border official mansion that has been living here can't find out what happened here, you and me, but the kung fu that has just come, how can it be so simple?" ”
Zhuang Mingyue naturally knew about Long Yuanxiu's comfort, but knowing is knowing, when the complexity of the matter is in front of her and it is difficult to solve, how can she really not mind at all?
So in this case, she didn't really listen to Long Yuanxiu's persuasion, and the sorrow between her eyebrows still existed, but she wouldn't wrinkle tightly because of things.
I saw her shake her head slightly, and then subconsciously sighed again, and then continued, "I naturally know about this matter, but it has been a few days since we came from the capital, but we have not found the slightest clue. ”
In addition, because of the previous events, the bodies of those who died because of such inexplicable illnesses have long been disposed of.
It is that they want to start with these corpses, and there is no way for a while, but they can rely on the information and means that they can find out at this side of the pass, so as to start inquiring about the origin of these corpses.
Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't know what kind of means and methods to use to solve this, was a little speechless, looking at the herbs and a lot of food in front of her.
Then unconsciously, he muttered softly as if talking to himself, "If you can probe too many things with your current identity, it will be enough." ”
Because Zhuang Mingyue's words were too low, Long Yuanxiu didn't hear what she was saying clearly, so he asked in the same soft voice, "What?" ”
However, just after Long Yuanxiu asked such a simple word, Zhuang Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously as if he had thought of some idea, and turned his head to look at Long Yuanxiu beside him with a little joy.
"Yuan Xiu, since we are ordinary people from the border gates, why don't I take such an opportunity to disguise myself as a merchant who came here from other places to do business, get acquainted with other rich people at this pass, and then find out the news from their mouths, what do you think?"
It's not because of anything else, but in the end, instead of asking for news among men, it's actually about these women who stayed at home and chattered in the past, or those who were on the street corners.
It is far more appropriate than their current method, which is to fight with a hammer and a stick in the west.
And Long Yuanxiu, who heard this, also quickly understood the real meaning of the words mentioned by Zhuang Mingyue.
I saw that he thought for a moment, and then he also felt that Zhuang Mingyue's method was very good, so he nodded, "If that's the case, it's really good." ”
It's not because of anything else, it's just that Long Yuanxiu knows Zhuang Mingyue's natural pleasing temperament, and can talk to people of any age.
Therefore, if she was going to get some news from the women and women who were on her radar, it would have been better than their own investigation behind closed doors.
And the information that can be obtained must be more and more sufficient.
Then Zhuang Mingyue quickly understood, the real meaning of his words, and the bright color in his eyes suddenly became more obvious.
And when Zhuang Mingyue here said this, he quickly decided, since he is now in contact with the local people here to see if he can get some really useful information from them.
So in this case, he saw Zhuang Mingyue walking out of the inn, ready to find a local woman according to what he had imagined before, and open some news from the other party in the way and identity of doing business.
Under Zhuang Mingyue's thoughts, as well as her words that are not rotten in three inches, she soon made friends with a hearty little girl.
Because Zhuang Mingyue came here to pay attention to the discounted hairpin and rouge business, it was naturally liked by the little girls, and because in addition to the concealment of identity.
Zhuang Mingyue is also very hearty to treat people, and her real purpose is not to do business, so her hairpins and swallows are very cheap.
So in this case, when she deliberately treats the little girl well, she can also get the friendly treatment of the little girl.
Seeing that after a few days of getting along, the little girl has been married to herself, although she doesn't say that she has nothing to say, but compared to these inconsequential things, she can mention them.
Seeing that the timing was almost the same, Zhuang Mingyue looked at the little girl in front of her tentatively and asked, "Speaking of which, in the past few days since I came, I have heard some things, which really makes me a little curious, I don't know if Ah Qi knows these things?" ”
Ah Qi, who had just bought a new hairpin at a low price, responded with a smile on his face after hearing Zhuang Mingyue's inquiry, "Sister Yue, if you have anything, ask Ah Qi directly, but if Ah Qi can know, he will naturally tell you." ”
I saw Zhuang Mingyue open her mouth slightly, and then she seemed to hesitate about something, and didn't ask.
Ah Qi, who was still smiling and groaning on his face, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly after seeing Zhuang Mingyue's expression, and then looked at Zhuang Mingyue with a little puzzlement.
"Sister Yue, what's wrong with you? Is there something unspeakable? ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who was questioned again, raised her eyes and glanced at Ah Qi again, and then asked what she wanted in her heart.
"Speaking of which, now that I and my husband have come to this customs office to do business, I naturally want to be able to earn some silver taels and also want to be safe, but in the past few days, I have inadvertently heard that a few days ago at the border gate, but how many cases of sudden death have occurred?"
Although this incident is indeed not much of a secret at the border gate, because of the incident, it suddenly happened in the following time since it happened.
In the past few days since Zhuang Mingyue and the others came to the border gate, they have also not seen any other corpses, or people who died because of such reasons, so this matter has also faded away, and there are not many people who mention it again.
But fortunately, it happened after all, and it was not a secret, so even if Zhuang Mingyue asked about it now, it did not arouse too much suspicion.
I saw that Ah Qi here heard Zhuang Mingyue's inquiry, and the smile on his face also fell, but it was not as Zhuang Mingyue thought.
There will be too many unspeakable secrets, or something else just Seeing Ah Qi frowning lightly, his expression was a little inexplicably puzzled.
"This thing is indeed true, but it is also very strange, since a few people died some time ago, when everyone thought that this kind of plague struck again, there has not been any similar incident."
Since Zhuang Mingyue was like this, she had some measurements in her heart, so she asked tentatively again.
"If that's the case, it's indeed a little weird, but since only a few people were poisoned, nothing ever happened, but because these people were such vicious people, they were punished by God, and they died inexplicably?"
Although Zhuang Mingyue didn't know whether these people were really vicious people, he knew in his heart that these people naturally couldn't be because they had done too many bad things.
This is why he was punished by God to die so suddenly, otherwise, how could those thugs who are still in the world and still do all kinds of evil still survive well?
Ah Qi, who also heard this, shook his head and denied Zhuang Minyue's idea, "Although these people also don't know if they were from the city before, they know that after they came to the border pass, they didn't do anything to steal chickens and dogs, or do something extremely vicious, I don't think it's because of this." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who just wanted to find some other clues with various possibilities, also firmly grasped the most critical point in Ah Qi's words.
That is, after these people came to the border again, they did not do anything to steal chickens and dogs, and they did extremely vicious things.
That means that these people are not border passers, but they just came to the border pass during this time, and they happened to die at this pass or came together, and then died together.
After realizing that none of these dead people were from the border gates, Zhuang Mingyue, who had already grasped the most important opinion, continued to ask: "Oh? Not from this side? ”
