After sitting in the teahouse for most of the morning, Dong Lian got up and walked out of the teahouse.

Although it is only gossip, there is still some information to be drawn from it!

As soon as he reached the door of the teahouse, before he could gain a foothold, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Hurry, the rider seems to be in a hurry.

This was Dong Lian's first feeling.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, and along with the sound of the horse's hooves, there was a shout from the post soldiers: "Urgent, get out of the way, get out of the way!" There is a rush! ”

The sound of horses' hooves is like a sailboat rowing across a calm lake. The boat drifted away, but the waves left behind echoed over and over again.

The commotion erupted in the streets after the postmen had left.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on, you know?"

"I don't know, is there another war?"

"No, now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, how can there be a war?"

"I don't know, who knows what's going on?"

"Look at this posture must be a big deal!"

People on the street stopped and gathered together in twos and threes. In the midst of them, the voices of discussion gradually arose, and every man spoke his own words, and in an instant the noise became a mess.

Dong Lian squeezed out of the crowd, looked at the direction where the horse disappeared, thought for a moment, and followed.

…………………………

"What? Banditry? Li Xiao listened to Dong Lian's report, and the jade hand holding the teacup couldn't help but pause for a moment. Then, he asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure, the notices have been posted!" Dong Lian recalled the scene when he chased him to the door of the yamen.

He saw the post soldiers enter the yamen with his own eyes, saw him go out of the yamen with his own eyes, and saw with his own eyes that a yamen notice was posted!

"How can there be banditry?" Li Xiao's face was still in disbelief.

"The notice said that I don't know where it came from, but it has left a lot of traces of looting around Yucheng!" Dong Lian repeated every bit of the notice: "The most serious thing is the post station more than 30 miles north of Yucheng, which not only robbed the guests' money, but also killed people. Overnight, everyone in a post house was killed! ”

A post house where everyone was killed?

Li Xiao's mind turned, post station? Homicide? A light flashed through her mind.

"When?" Li Xiao thought about the question and looked a little stunned.

"What do you mean?" Dong Lian was a little puzzled, but suddenly understood the meaning of Li Xiao's words, "The notice said four days ago!" ”

"Isn't that the same one we stayed in? Also, four days ago, the day after we stayed overnight? Li Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand.

On that day, the strangeness of the post station resurfaced in her mind!

Then another terrible thought popped into my mind. Her heart tightened, and she immediately asked.

"Dong Lian, did you find anything unusual on the night when the soldiers chased the deserters?"

"That night?" Dong Lian also seemed to feel that something strange, and after thinking about it, all his composure collapsed in this instant, and was replaced by a trace of surprise! "No, it won't! I stayed outside your door all night and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. ”

"But I found out!" Li Xiao said, his mood was bleak.

"County Lord?" Dong Lian asked in disbelief.
