Chapter 229: Hidden Murder (I)

Nestled beneath the Juyong Mountains and close to the Gyeongwolf Road, Yongnan is the last town in the Gyeonggi region to the north. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At night, a middle-aged couple came from the south, and after entering the town, they found that it was bustling with people. They were only slightly stunned, and then relieved. Most of these people were refugees who fled the imperial capital, and although most of them fled to the more affluent and stable south, there were still a considerable number of refugees who wanted to cross the Juyong Mountains to the north, hoping to get shelter from the northern Xinjiang army.

Due to the Juyong Mountains, these people heading to the north of Xinjiang must spend a full day traversing the Juyong Mountains if they want to reach the next resting town. In other words, if they could not set out early in the morning, they would have to spend the night in the deserted and beast-infested Juyong Mountains. Therefore, most people will choose to stay in Yongnan Town for one night, and then set off together in the early morning of the next day.

Yongnan was a medium-sized town with a crucial location, guarding the gateway between the imperial capital and northern Xinjiang, and was also an important military town with up to 20,000 garrisons on the edge of Gyeonggi.

Today, the influx of people has put a huge burden on this medium-sized town, and the only restaurants and inns simply cannot accommodate so many outsiders, who have to sleep on the streets to the point of drowning. In addition, winter is approaching, and the wind and cold are heavy, and people who do not have warm clothes are very likely to contract the wind cold, which adds to the burden of the city. In addition, law and order is another major challenge, from early morning to dusk, all kinds of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, fights and brawls of law and order incidents emerge one after another, so that the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Public Security have to ask the local garrison for help, but in the barracks, there are less than 3,000 men left, and the rest are said to have set off for the imperial capital to quell the rebellion.

Ah Heng looked at the overcrowded city, frowned, and said, "Xiao Jin, it looks like we're going to find an inn quickly." ”

This middle-aged couple was played by Ah Heng and Xiao Jin, and after confirming that Guo Wu had left the palace, the two left the imperial capital and headed north. After a long absence, the young man and woman were in love, so they avoided the refugee team as much as possible along the way, and they had endless love and sweetness along the way, until now, they arrived at Yongnan Town--this is the nearest road to northern Xinjiang, and it is also an unavoidable pass--because of this, the two of them also know nothing about that rumor.

Xiao Jin glanced at the sky and frowned: "At this time, I'm afraid there is no hope," but then she smiled and said, "I'm nothing, it's just that our great Lord God is going to sleep on the streets......"

Ah Heng thought of sleeping in the open these days, and couldn't help but look at the girl next to him with pity: "Xiao Jin, you have followed me these days and have been wronged......

Xiao Jin looked at Ah Heng's serious appearance, and smiled: "Do you think I look like I have been wronged?" She rolled her eyes, "Actually, if you want to live in the inn, the way is very simple-"

Ah Heng knew that she had a lot of ghost ideas, and he also perked up: "Oh, what's a good way?

Xiao Jin: "Let's find a random shop and let the shopkeeper vacate two rooms for us—"

Heng: "Who can agree to this?"

Xiao Jin: "We told him to triple the price, or else he would smash their counter or simply reveal your identity as the Duke of Icefield......"

Ah Heng's expression became more and more entangled, and his face became darker and darker.

Xiao Jin: "Stinky Ah Heng, you really believe it-oh-oh-it turns out that in your heart, I am such an arrogant and unreasonable person-" She immediately made a look of wanting to cry.

Heng: "Uh......"

The corners of Xiao Jin's mouth curled into a good-looking arc: "Forget it, I won't tease you." You don't want to think about it, if you really show your identity as a duke, let's just go directly to the city guard mansion or the garrison officer's office. Why bully those poor people?"

Ah Heng: "I think so too...... However, it is better not to disclose our identities to avoid unnecessary trouble. ”

Xiao Jin pursed her lips and smiled, hugged Ah Heng's arm and said, "Actually, you don't have to think too much about me, as long as you are by my side, I will be satisfied-"

Ah Heng was ashamed and sweet in his heart, when he was alone, it was nothing to sleep in the open, but the girl next to him was the beloved he owed a lot, how could he let her suffer any more grievances!

Ah Heng: "Why don't we go find some inns and try them, maybe there are some inns that are not full-"

Xiao Jin: "Well, but I guess there are only those high-end inns." These refugees have suffered from disasters and may not be willing to pay exorbitant prices to live in those places. And the order over there will be better—"

Ah Heng: "Sky-high price!?" He thought about it, at this time, the price must be scary! He subconsciously touched his pocket, and it seemed that he ...... It seems like...... Suddenly, he felt two thin pieces of stuff in his hands, and when he looked down, they were actually two gold leaves. He looked at Xiao Jin in amazement-

Xiao Jin said proudly: "As a top-level spy of the God-given Republic, I can mobilize the wealth of 50,000 gold coins at any time, so I have been prepared for a long time, these gold leaves are just our pocket money——"

Ah Heng sighed that this pocket money is probably the biggest wealth in his life, and he can't see that Xiao Jin is really rich!

Xiao Jin suddenly: "Ah Heng, you won't feel ...... It's uncomfortable—"

Ah Heng was stunned for a moment, then understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have been collecting protection money for ten years with two bastards, and I have long been accustomed to getting it for nothing, if you still have pocket money for me, the more the merrier-"

Xiao Jin: "Think beautifully--I've heard people say that if you're good to a man, you can't give him too much money--" She suddenly lowered her head shyly, and desperately tugged at the corner of her clothes, what was she talking about!

Ah Heng smiled happily: "Let's go, today we want to live in the best room and eat the best food-"

Xiao Jin nodded heavily, and the two walked away briskly.

They didn't realize that not long after they left, in a dark alley not far away, a beautiful but grim-looking girl walked out, and she watched the two leave hand in hand, and a trace of vicious resentment flashed in her eyes.

Behind her, a tall man also walked out: "Lan Xin, are you sure she is Dienian?"

Lan Xin: "Can't be wrong, although they have disguised themselves and can't hear what they say, but I have lived with her since I was a child, and some of her casual habitual actions can't hide from my eyes." ”

Tall man: "Since we're sure, why don't we do it right away?"

Lan Xin: "Do you know, if we had gotten a little closer, we would have been two cold corpses by now." (To be continued.) )
