Chapter 200: The Mysterious Savior
"Hero...... I'm an ordinary person, what can I know!! The ragged man begged for mercy.
"Say, what did you see when the time came!!" Nangong Jin threatened, and the dagger was suddenly handed to the man's neck, scratching it slightly.
He believed that the man had nothing to do with it, but he was the only witness he had found for the time being.
"Hero, this is something to say, can Tianhe be a better place, in this ......" The man glanced at the royal household Qian Zhuang Dao, who had just been killed not far away.
Nangong Jin withdrew the dagger, then held his hands with his right hand backhand, and put his left hand on his shoulder, leading him to the place where the cloth was sold on the side.
The cloth shop was kicked open inexplicably, and the boss, who had been awakened by the screams coming from the Imperial Household Money Village, was hiding under the table and held his breath at the moment, not daring to make a sound at all.
"Come out......" Nangong Jin said indifferently, his voice was very cold, so that the cloth boss felt like he was being targeted by the devil after hearing it, and wanted to come out, but his whole body trembled so much that he couldn't move.
Nangong Jin didn't know that it was the cloth boss who was hiding here at the moment, in case there were suspicious characters hidden here, especially the killer who wiped out the Imperial Household Money Village......
"Boom!!" Nangong Jin's dagger swung crosswise, and the sharp blade instantly split the table not far away in half.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm just selling cloth." The cloth boss raised his hands high to defend himself, he didn't want to become a ghost under the knife for no reason!!
Nangong Jin put the dagger back away and directly escorted the man in, and the cloth boss immediately lit the nearby candles.
Under the faint light of the candle, the cloth boss saw Nangong Jin's appearance clearly, this man has a handsome face that makes a woman fall in love with him, but his eyebrows and eyes are too sharp, and his eyes are like a sword that has not yet been unsheathed, sharp, and unstoppable.
Also, it seems that from the time he came in to the present, this handsome man has no smile on his face, he is simply not smiling, and the people who are close to him are estimated to be dead!!
"Well, you guys...... Want tea? The cloth boss said embarrassedly, in such a cold atmosphere, is he stupid to invite this killing god to tea?
"Biluo Spring ......"
Nangong Jin unceremoniously accepted the cloth boss's questioning, making the cloth boss think that he was hallucinating......
"Okay, okay, let's go make tea."
After getting Nangong Jin's consent, he immediately left this suffocating place like a crawl.
"Say it......" Nangong Jin said domineeringly, his tone full of unquestionable questions.
"Ask me and I answer, or I'm afraid I'll be incoherent, and then I'm afraid you'll entertain me with that dagger......," the man said, gesturing to his neck.
Nangong Jin nodded in agreement and said slowly, "Who do you see?" ”
"Who is coming......
"Do you think I, the pig food collector, will be able to recognize it?"
"The group was wearing night clothes and masks." The man was speechless, if he could really identify these people, would he still be hiding?
"What about their swords and the like, martial arts moves?" Nangong Jin asked.
"Martial arts moves? I don't understand that. ”
"But their long sword, looking at it from a distance, I saw a monstrous monster on the hilt, and the monster bared its sharp fangs, as if it were about to bite everything off." The man recalled.
Nangong Jin's eyelashes flickered silently, and from the description in this person's mouth alone, he could be sure that these people were from the Yin Sha Building.
He and Song Anguo in the fief of King Duanxiang forged a signature to obtain an IOU to gain Song Yu's trust, and he worked hard to find the clue of the royal household money village, but ......
What went wrong?
Why was it that less than two days after he entered Beijing, the owner of the Imperial Money Village was killed? Now even the entire money bank has been killed.
"Hero, I really just saw these men in black break in and kill people, I'm really not their accomplice!!" The man defended himself.
Nangong Jin originally wanted to say that he knew, but he didn't expect the cloth boss to walk in with tea at this moment.
"Drink tea, talk slowly about something." The cloth boss said calmly, there was a tragedy in the Imperial House tonight, and it is estimated that the people living nearby will not be able to sleep peacefully at the moment.
"Did you hear any strange noises tonight?" Nangong Jin asked, the royal house in this cloth shop is quite close, if the movement is too big, it is impossible for him not to hear it.
"This son, I really didn't hear much movement, because these people will do light work, and there was no sound when they broke in at first."
"It was only later when they began to slaughter that they heard screams from inside, and the men in black kept asking where to put it? Where to put it. The cloth boss recalled.
"Where?" Nangong Jin said with a serious face, is this asking about the whereabouts of the account books?
"When you say that, I hear this conversation too." The man drank the tea from his cup in a hearty manner, then poured several cups of his own and drank them as if they were boiled water.
"Where, where? The black-clothed men grabbed someone and asked, and then the people in the Imperial Money House said they didn't know, and they couldn't ask about the whereabouts, so they raised their knives and ...... people," the man said with a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Of course, I just heard some noises, and I don't know what those people are looking for." The man sympathized.
"Actually, the owner of the Imperial Money Village is very good, how could he provoke these people." The cloth shop owner sympathized.
"Say more." Nangong Jin ordered.
"Uh......" The cloth shop owner looked confused at the moment, what should he say more? He had no idea what this difficult-looking man was trying to hear.
"I ask, you answer." Nangong Jin's eyes glanced at the two of them like a sharp look, making them feel like they were on pins and needles, and they were afraid that they would be named if they couldn't sit well.
"What are the interests of the owner of the Imperial Household, or who do you like to associate with?" Nangong Jin asked.
"This ...... The owner of the Imperial Money, he is good to everyone, and he can talk to everyone, and we, the merchants, have received a lot of help from the owners of the Imperial Money. ”
"Of course, the people who come and go with him are mainly some merchants, but there are also some officials of the imperial court, some time ago, when the owner of the Imperial House seemed to go out to the White Horse Temple to return to his gods, he met a bandit outside the forest, and was almost robbed and killed by them." The cloth shop owner told him what he knew.
"Bandits?" Nangong Jin said with a puzzled face, the public order in the capital, under his vigorous rectification, these bandit nests have been served in one pot, how can they appear in the capital!!
"I've heard about this too, but I'm just an ordinary person, and it's all hearsay." The man nodded in agreement, he originally felt very apprehensive after being escorted in by Nangong Jin, but now that he knew that he had no malicious intentions, he relaxed and said something.
"Do you know who saved the owner of the Mito Money Estate?" Nangong Jin asked, in his opinion, this rescue was premeditated.
"I really don't know, the owner of the Imperial Money Village is not grateful to him in a high-profile manner, but I heard that the relationship in private is very good." The cloth shop owner said truthfully.
"Haven't you ever seen this mysterious savior?" Nangong Jin was puzzled, no matter how low-key he was, he shouldn't be obscure, no one knew his appearance, unless he had something unspeakable, or maybe this person was plotting something and didn't want to reveal his identity.
The owner of the cloth shop shook his head decisively with the man who often went to the back door of the house to collect pig food, saying that he had not met the mysterious life-saving benefactor.
"Then he had an accident, I heard his official family say that he went to see a friend, so who knows who this friend is?"
The cloth shop owner and the man shook their heads, something they had never heard of.
"Master Hou...... No...... Master, where are you? Zhao Si called around, and he led the guards of the Hou Ye Mansion to search and separated from Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin roughly guessed Zhao Si's location through his voice, and pulled out the dagger that had been withdrawn and threw it out of the door, Zhao Si thought it was a hidden weapon, and immediately turned over and stepped back to avoid it.
The dagger finally went straight to the ground, and after Zhao Si saw the vivid dragon pattern carved on it from a distance, he immediately ran towards the shop where the dagger flew out.
"Hou ...... Master, are you in there? Zhao Si politely knocked on the door outside and asked.
"Come in."
Only then did Zhao Si slowly push the door in, and after standing firm beside Nangong Jin, he muttered a few words in his ear close to him.
"Is it......" Nangong Jin said calmly, not at all surprised that they didn't find a living person for this Zhao Si.
"And now? Get back? Zhao Si asked, Jingzhao Mansion had already sent people to come to the Imperial Household Money Village, and it was useless for their people to stay here.
Nangong Jin didn't answer, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment, and Zhao Si didn't dare to open his mouth to disturb, so he could only wait behind him, and politely nodded to the cloth shop owner and the strange man, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Do you have a general impression of the dead at the scene?" Nangong Jin asked, holding his chin.
Zhao Si shook his head, and then something flashed through his mind, but there were two strange people here who didn't know if they could keep it secret.
Zhao Si finally chose to remain silent, Nangong Jin knew Zhao Si's concerns, and did not ask any further.
"Let's close the team, after everyone in Jingzhao Mansion has left, we will explore the Imperial Household Money Village at night."
"Yes, young master." Zhao Si said respectfully.
"Tonight's matter, don't talk about it so much, otherwise it will ......" Nangong Jin made a gesture to wipe his neck and reminded, even if they didn't do it, if these two people were noticed by that group of killers, then what was waiting for them was the miserable end of the Imperial Household Qian Village.
The two nodded vigorously to indicate that they knew, and it wasn't until Nangong Jin and Zhao Si completely disappeared in front of them that they did their own things.
Fu Yin is also very depressed at the moment, there are two major events in the capital in one day, if he can't find clues, I'm afraid he will have to be impeached again......
