After eight or nine days of hard work, the three of them finally arrived in Liangzhou.

Wan Ning said very urgently that she wanted to go to the inn where her father lived back then.

Zhiyang and Gao Ziang understood her mood very well, so they agreed to accompany her. But because the team was too eye-catching, Gao Ziang ordered the rest of the people to stay where they were. The three of them walked to the inn.

When she was still a few feet away from the inn, Wan Ning was still desperate to move forward, but was pulled back by Gao Ziang. He objected: "Wanning, they have all seen the two of us, don't get any closer." Our sudden appearance must have aroused their suspicions, and they may even think that they are here to investigate the case. Wouldn't it startle the snake? We haven't found anything yet. ”

Wan Ning stopped and stared at the inn from afar.

"Then brother, do you mean we can't stay here tonight?"

"Exactly."

Seeing Wanning's disapproving look, Zhiyang said, "Wanning, Ziang is right, let's take our time." ”

"But how I wish I lived in the house where my father lived."

After saying that, she still stared at the inn where her father had stayed for the last time. My father was diligent and kind to others all his life, how could he die in this unfamiliar place? He must have been lonely when he left, right?

Wan Ning thought about it, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Suddenly, the plaque caught her attention. If you look closely, the plaque reads "Yuelai Inn" in large and clear terms.

This inn is the national chain of Yuelai Inn. The last time she came, she was in a hurry to see her father, but she didn't see what kind of inn it was. When he arrived in Liangzhou, his brother's subordinates inquired about his father's residence, but they were not even impressed by his report.

Wan Ning was a little puzzled, turned her head and asked Gao Ziang: "Brother, was it also Yuelai Inn last time?" ”

Gao Ziang was also at a loss: "I really don't remember clearly." Wait until we go back and ask them. ”

Wan Ning was indifferent: "Forget it, don't ask." It's not a big deal. I just want to know, and it's not too late to ask later. ”

"After committing a crime, it is not impossible to hang up the name of the big inn and escape from right and wrong." Zhiyang said suddenly.

"Oh." Wan Ning seemed to understand something.

Gao Ziang put his hands on Wan Ning's shoulders to comfort him, and said slowly: "Wan Ning, we have been on a long journey, and everyone is a little tired tonight. Why don't we find a place to rest first? When you have enough spirits, you will settle accounts with them. ”

Wan Ning stood there for a moment, feeling that Brother Ziang was right. Two words were whispered back: "Okay." ”

She had to follow the two of them and reluctantly leave.

So that night, everyone stayed at the auspicious inn not far from the Yuelai Inn.

Gao Ziang instructed everyone to keep a low profile and have a good night's rest. He also gave the innkeeper a sum of money, and warned him not to make any noise about the arrival of their large group of men.

The next day, the three leaders were full of spirit and gathered in the Zhiyang house to discuss how to investigate next.

Zhiyang said: "When it is dusk, don't show up first, I'll go over and stay for one night, explore the truth and the truth, and get a general understanding of the situation." ”

Wan Ning said very obediently: "Obey, master." ”

Gao Ziang responded and said, "We all listen to you, sir. ”

"What room did your father live in?" Zhiyang asked.

Wan Ning replied: "Upstairs in the Tianzi room." ”

"Got it."

"What do you do after that? Master. Wan Ning asked.

"If you can find some clues, find some hard evidence. We first reported to the local government, where we interrogated first to make sure that they had indeed poisoned the court officials. In the end, the prisoner will be escorted to Jingshi, and with your father's official position, the emperor should personally interrogate him. During this period, you may need to mobilize some soldiers and horses, and you will have to trouble the local government, and the royal things you carry will come in handy, or the emperor has thought thoughtfully. ”

Gao Ziang nodded in agreement.

"By the way, sir, I asked my subordinates, when I came back, the inn was not called Yuelai Inn. If you look closely at the plaque, you should be able to see that it is newly replaced. ”

"Well, that's telling. With Li Zhenghang's character, he must be low-key wherever he goes, and he will not live in a famous inn. ”

In the evening, Zhiyang went alone, naturally did not attract the attention of the people in the inn, let alone arouse suspicion.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Xiao Er greeted him: "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

"Yes."

"What a vision the guest officer has! All aspects of our shop are clean and spotless. ”

"A small shop? Is Joy Inn still small? ”

Xiao Er seemed to know that what he said was not quite right, and his hand unconsciously touched the corner of his mouth. Zhiyang saw this detail very clearly, and it was obviously the reaction of the person who said the wrong thing.

Zhiyang looked around and said, "I can see that you are not lying, it is indeed clean." Then he kept nodding, Zhiyang took out a piece of silver and gave it to him casually: "Xiao Er has rewarded you." ”

Little World War II trembled and did not dare to take it. It can be seen that he is a real person.

"Take it, what's polite?"

"Thank you, guest officer, the little one will serve you well and make you feel like home."

Zhiyang said nonchalantly: "It's right to give some silver taels, you don't have to worry about it." However, there is a requirement below. ”

"Guest, you say."

"I live in a hotel all my life, and I only live in the Tianzi room. What do you think? Arrange it for me. Zhiyang's tone was brisk.

Xiao Er was stunned and wanted to return the silver to Zhiyang: "Guest officer, your silver, the little one can't afford it." ”

"Why? Tianzihao is already inhabited? ”

"Not really. Just because of the superior location of Tianzihao, in the long run, it has become a warehouse for storage. ”

As soon as Zhiyang heard it, he knew that Xiao Er didn't tell the truth: "Who doesn't know?" Upstairs in the Tianzi room, generally people with heads and faces will live. It's good for you guys, such a big inn, the Tianzi room is used for storage, can this keep the guests? That's how you do business? I really don't believe what you're saying. ”

"Guest officer, why don't I take you over to have a look? When you see it, you know I'm not telling a lie. ”

"Hmm." Zhiyang nodded.

Xiao Er took Zhiyang to the Tianzi room upstairs.

He pointed inside and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhiyang said: "It's not a lot of piles, the area around the bed is quite clean, you can clean it a little." I'm destined for this day. ”

"Guest, do you really want to stay?"

Zhiyang squinted at him: "What? Any questions? ”

Xiao Er hurriedly shook his head: "Oh, no." The small one just thinks it's messy, and it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and it's all over the place. You're disgusted, aren't you? ”

"You do this, you clean the hallways and the bed. I'll be able to live in. Elsewhere, I don't dislike it. ”

Xiao Er reluctantly responded: "Guest officer, fortunately, our shopkeeper is not here tonight." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to let you stay in this room anyway. ”

"Didn't I tell you everything? I only live in the Tianzi room in my life. Okay, I'll stand outside for a while, and you can start cleaning. ”
