Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Hunt 1
Yao Yun was secretly frightened, this Golden Wheel City was obviously still in the territory of the Great Zhou, but it had infiltrated so many Beidi people, Sima Zhao's heart was clearly revealed.
The wooden door knocked lightly, Yao Yun immediately tightened the dagger hidden under the sleeve that he bought yesterday, cocked Erlang's legs and sat rudely, and deliberately lowered his voice.
"Who?"
"Hello Lang Jun, the villain has brought you breakfast." It was the respectful voice of the shopkeeper Xiao Er.
The shopkeeper came to eat and respectfully placed it on the table in front of him.
"Little brother has worked hard!"
Yao Yun rewarded him with two copper coins, took a few mouthfuls of food roughly, and said tentatively with a smile: "Little brother, why is this street so deserted today?" But what happened? ”
"Thank you Lang Jun, the villain is not hard!"
The little brother accepted the reward, smiled at the corners of his mouth with a smile, turned his head and glanced at the wooden door behind him a few more times before he suppressed his voice and spoke carefully.
"Lang Jun doesn't know, I heard that the people of Beidi lost a little lady last night, and now they are being searched for in the whole city! Alas, it seems that the poor little lady will hardly be spared. ”
Yao Yun frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression: "Isn't this Golden Wheel City the territory of the Great Zhou?" How can you allow the Beidi thief to do anything wrong here! ”
The little brother shook his hands, quickly covered his mouth and motioned him to speak quietly, and closed the small window on the outside slightly inside.
"Lang Jun should be careful when he speaks, the eyeliner of the Beidi people is everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will be arrested."
"Little brother, don't the county officials of Golden Wheel City care about this?"
As soon as he mentioned this county office, the little brother cried even more with a sad face, wiped his tears with a handful of snot and sighed: "Alas, that Chen County Commander is notoriously cowardly, cowardly, greedy and afraid of death, and he has long been a turtle with a shrunken head, and now we Han people are just living in the cracks." ”
"Alas, it's the poor Xiao family's army that has suffered countless casualties and fought hard to come back from the Great Zhou territory, and it seems that it will be handed over to people to be easily taken away in the near future."
The shopkeeper Xiao Er was stunned, and he could only sigh helplessly.
Yao Yun felt a faint uneasiness in her heart, it seemed that this Golden Wheel City was far more dangerous than she imagined, and she didn't know if she could hold on for the past three or four days.
"Dare to ask the little brother, do you know if the gang found the little lady? It made the whole city panic. ”
"I heard that the leader of Beidi was still angry on the street early this morning, and he shouldn't have found it yet!"
Only two or three hours later, there was a large group of Beidi soldiers in disguise on the street, and now they have been arrogant and presumptuous in front of every shop, pushing the door in a grand and brutal search.
Yao Yun clenched the dagger in his hand, feeling bad, and definitely not sitting still. She called the shopkeeper Xiao Er again, stuffed a lot of money into his hand, and asked him to help bring some things from outside.
The shopkeeper took the money, remembered the strange items to be carrying, and trotted out of the inn in a daze.
Although it was a short period of three days, Yao Yun was extremely tormented and restless in his heart. She stayed in the small room, tinkering with the things in her hands, her hands stained with bamboo crumbs, and her index and middle fingers were accidentally cut by the iron hammer in several wounds.
The sky is slightly dark, the spring is cold, and the birds are singing and the chickens are calling.
Yao Yun was already sleeping unsteadily, and when he was turning over and over, he was woken up by the extremely subtle sound of dispute coming from downstairs.
She straightened out the burlap robe she had never taken off, and tugged at the dagger in her hand to the door and listened.
"Shangguan, the villains really haven't seen any Han women, and the people staying in the inn are all men and gentlemen, and there will definitely be no ladies traveling alone."
"Shangguan is mighty, every guest official who stays here is personally brought in by the villain, and there will definitely be no women and women hidden."
It was the innkeeper and the shopkeeper who replied cautiously at the bottom of the staircase. The two of them were half-bowed backs, cold sweat seeping from their foreheads, and their tones were shivering and groveling.
Shangguan? They call the person opposite as a superior?
Yao Yun frowned slightly, and then carefully pushed open the door and leaned forward slightly, the person with his back to her had a jade crown and tied his hair, wearing a light cyan official robe, and a stone belt around his waist, he turned out to be a nine-rank official of the Great Zhou! It looks familiar!
"In the past four days, how many guests have stayed at the inn?"
The shopkeeper Xiao Er has always been clever, and responded briskly: "If you go back to Shangguan, there are four people in total, but they are all vulgar and rough men, not delicate little ladies." ”
"What's so strange about these four people?" The green-robed official asked coldly.
The shopkeeper Xiao Er's body shook slightly, his eyes flowed, but his tone was no longer as happy as before: "No, nothing abnormal, they are all ordinary Han residents." ”
The green-robed official slammed his sword against the little brother's neck, and the face was full of displeasure and threatened: "Tell the truth! Otherwise, you will surely die! ”
The shopkeeper's face became more and more pale, his steps staggered a few steps, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and his volume unconsciously increased a few points, even the guests on the second floor could hear it clearly.
"The little and the villain don't dare to deceive Shangguan, the villain is dull and clumsy, and he is busy serving tea and pouring water day and night, he really hasn't seen anything unusual, and he asks Shangguan to see it."
The green-robed official didn't care when he saw his groveling and vulgar face.
"These four people, the official must carefully inspect the place and search the luggage respectively, and lead the way!"
The innkeeper wiped the cold sweat that oozes densely from his forehead, does not dare to refute or shirk, and half-hunches to meet the official and a team of soldiers behind him.
She retreated softly back into the house, and prepared what she had been making up for the previous two days. Waiting quietly is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
A quarter of an hour later, heavy footsteps came from the wooden staircase, and the group had reached the second floor of the inn. The group first went to a room in front of them, and there was a loud sound of scolding and scolding, followed by a loud "bang" of the door.
"Shangguan, this is the last guest officer to stay in this room!" The innkeeper was walking towards the group.
Knock Knock Knock –
"Hello Lang Jun, has Lang Jun gotten up?"
Yao Yun deliberately let out an extremely unhappy muffled sound, suppressed his voice and scolded angrily: "Noisy and noisy, what the hell is noisy before the sky is bright!" And let people not sleep......"
"Don't talk nonsense, the government is chasing down important criminals in the court, and open the door quickly!" The blue-robed official at the head interrupted him.
"Oh...... Oh, okay, okay, please wait a minute, the villain will be here soon......"
There was a rustling sound in the room, and then it suddenly stopped.
The green-robed official suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly scolded the soldiers behind him for slamming open the wooden door.
