Zhao Rang did not go out for two days after returning to the inn from Mrs. Liu's cloth village.

Even three meals a day are delivered to the room by the guys.

In the past two days, he suddenly figured out a problem, a very simple question, that is, he should not be in a hurry.

The knife is fast, but the heart is not in a hurry.

Before, it was because he was too anxious, whether it was the chaotic and complicated situation in Zhenhai City, or the safety of Qingqing's whereabouts.

Once people are in a hurry, they will inevitably make mistakes in judgment and will be more likely to fall into the trap of others.

Mrs. Liu only took out a bloody coat, which made Zhao Rang a little distraught, and these emotions must have fallen on those eyes who were staring at him openly and secretly.

Now that he has calmed down, Zhao Rang feels that the bloody clothes alone can't explain anything.

After all, he knew Qingqing's methods very well.

And he didn't believe that the City Lord's Mansion would dare to blatantly target the envoy sent by the first floor of the Investigation Division.

You must know that behind the first floor is the royal family of the Northland.

At best, the city lord of Zhenhai City dared to secretly trade with the Dragon Fan Society or even the Bow Snake, but he never had the courage to act openly like this.

This is the most deadly crime in the world......

Now that the Northland is still under the control of the imperial court, this behavior is a blatant rebellion.

With the power of a city lord's mansion alone, even if you unite those rebels in the south, you can't beat your arms and thighs, and if you don't get it right, you will play with fire and set yourself on fire.

No one wants to watch the foundation they have worked so hard to run because of a wrong step and step into the point of no return.

A person who can sit in the position of the city lord in such a chaotic place of four wars is naturally not a fool.

After all, the more successful the person, the more involved, and the less courageous he is.

Often hesitant because they are reluctant to get what they have already arrived, they look forward and backward.

So on the whole, Zhao Rang felt that Qingqing should be safe at the moment.

But why the city lord detained her in the mansion, Zhao Rang still couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, it's okay if people are fine.

Everything else can be done slowly.

Now that he understood this, Zhao Rang's mentality completely relaxed, and he began to calm down and carefully ponder the cause and effect of the whole thing.

From the first time he received the task to come to Zhenhai City, to now being involved in this chaos, every detail began to be slowly replayed in Zhao Rang's mind.

He put himself in the shoes of the City Lord, Lady Liu, Qingqing, Longfan Society, and even Bow Snake and other forces, trying to guess their intentions and bottom line.

After this scrutiny, Zhao Rang felt more and more that there was a huge secret hidden behind the whole thing.

This secret is big enough that a feudal official like the city lord is willing to take risks, even at the expense of colluding with the rebels in the south.

Suddenly, he felt that he and Qingqing were the key figures in the whole thing.

Whether it was the detention of the City Lord's Mansion, or Madam Liu's hints, or the covetousness of the Dragon Fan Society and the Bow Snake, it all showed this.

After figuring out these joints, Zhao Rang decided to continue to lie dormant in the inn. Be patient and vigilant not to be taken advantage of by any of the forces.

During this period, Mrs. Liu sent people to invite him several times, but he refused on the grounds that he was unwell.

Zhao Rang knew that Mrs. Liu must be in a hurry.

But the more this happens, the more Zhao Rang can't show up.

Once you show up, it means that you have to repeat the mistakes of the past and fall into passivity.

At the moment, he is not fully prepared and still needs some time to adjust his form and strategy.

On this day, Zhao Rang woke up very early, but it was much colder than a few days ago.

Close to the south, it should be warm as spring all year round, but in the early hours of this morning, Zhao Rang found that a faint layer of hoarfrost had condensed on the leaves of the grass and trees outside.

The icy air helps to clear the mind.

Counting yesterday, Zhao Rang hadn't left this room for three whole days.

At this moment, he was desperate for the outside.

Even if he goes out, he doesn't know where to go or what to do, he wants to go out without hesitation.

It's just that the hour is too early, and the entire Zhenhai City has not fully woken up.

Zhao Rang stood on the long street and saw that the morning fog in some small alleys had not yet lifted.

When a person walks, he or she will walk faster and faster.

Although the cold air did make his mind very clear, his body still exuded a tiredness that could not be hidden.

He didn't fall asleep until late last night.

As soon as there were so many things in my head, the restful sleep of the previous two days immediately disappeared.

Zhao Rang had to put his feet full.

Since there is no direction, then do whatever you want.

If at this intersection, he chooses to go left, then the next intersection, it will definitely go to the right.

Zhao didn't know where he would end up walking like this, but at least he could avoid going around a place in circles.

Unexpectedly, he came to a place he was very familiar with!

It was the shop where I had breakfast when I first arrived in Zhenhai City that day.

The boss yawned and sleepy-eyed, and was removing the door panels one by one.

In a trance, I saw someone and said dreamily:

"The guest officer came really early, and he had to wait half an hour before breakfast."

Zhao Rang didn't answer, but stood still.

After the boss said this, he suddenly sobered up a little, and after seeing that it was Zhao Rang, the expression on his face suddenly became complicated......

There are surprises, but more than that, fears.

"Boss, don't you know me anymore?"

Zhao Rang asked.

The boss's reaction when he saw him made him feel a little strange.

The boss took a closer look and found that it was Zhao Rang, so he immediately put down the door panel, wiped his hands with the apron tied around his waist, bent his back and hunched over, and trotted out.

His hands hadn't even started cooking, and they were clean.

When people are nervous, they will always unconsciously do a meaningless move.

Some people will touch their noses, some will gnaw their nails, and the boss is obviously wiping his hands.

In a few moments, he had already wiped his hands three times.

The coarse cloth apron rubbed against the back of the hand with the cold air, making the joints redden.

"Guest officer, how can I not know you, please inside, please inside."

The boss smiled and led Zhao Rang to the shop.

"I just didn't expect you to come so early!"

Zhao Rang didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and followed the boss into the shop.

He chose a window seat to sit down, a position that allowed him to see the long street outside and the growing number of pedestrians.

The boss was busy making a pot of tea for Zhao Rang, and then stood aside and continued to wipe his hands, cramped and uneasy.

Zhao Rang saw it in his eyes, and he already understood a little bit in his heart.

He took a sip of tea, and then slowly spoke:

"Boss, is there something wrong with you?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then an embarrassed smile appeared on his face:

"The guest officer is really discerning, and the villain does have something to ask for......"

Zhao Rang put down the teacup, looked at the boss and said:

"Say, you're the first person I met when I came to Zhenhaicheng."

When the boss heard this, his face showed gratitude.

He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice:

"Guest officer, do you remember when you had breakfast in the small shop a few days ago, you encountered some trouble?"

Zhao Rang nodded and said:

"Yes, didn't I lose my baggage, and I gave you the horse at that time."

The boss sighed and said:

"That night, I was about to close the door, and the guy at home also said that you won't come, close the door early, and the BMW will be ours...... Just as the door was on the door, three or five people suddenly came, took out the money, and redeemed the horse for you. I later learned that they ...... They are the people of Mrs. Dry City Willow. ”

"Then from the next day, all kinds of thugs came to the shop...... All of them are fierce. He didn't eat, but he didn't leave, he occupied the table empty...... The villain knows that he can't afford to mess with them, but there is nothing he can do. It's really impossible to do business with such a villain who comes to the store every day to make a fuss......"

Speaking of this, the boss secretly glanced at Zhao Rang, and saw that his face was as usual, so he boldly continued:

"The villain knows that you are not an ordinary person, so he dares to ask you to help the villain. As long as you can get that group of people to stop making trouble, you will have three meals a day in Zhenhai City in the future! ”

When Zhao Rang heard this, his heart moved. He didn't expect that his unintentional actions that day would bring such a big trouble to this shop.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Boss, don't worry, I will help you solve this matter."

The boss was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and thanked him:

"Thank you, officer! Thank you, guest! ”

Zhao Rang waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, then stood up and said:

"Will they come today? Or do you know where they are and let's go straight to them? ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded yes.

He led Zhao out of the shop and went around to a remote alley.

The alley was dark and damp, and there was a disgusting stench.

Zhao Rang frowned slightly, but still followed the boss in.

Walking into the depths of the alley, the boss pointed to a closed wooden door and whispered:

"The group of guest officers rented this courtyard, and there was still a time when the villain boldly followed behind and found out."

Zhao Rang nodded and motioned for the boss to step aside, then stepped forward and kicked the wooden door open.

The loud "bang" made the people inside tremble.

When they looked up and saw Zhao Rang and the boss standing at the door, their faces showed fierce light.

Zhao Rang smiled coldly and didn't speak, and the knife on his waist didn't come out of the sheath, so he rushed straight up.

The men were shocked when they saw this...... They didn't know Zhao Rang at all, and they didn't take him seriously at all because they saw him alone.

But now as soon as Zhao Rang made a move, the person led by the leader was pressed by the scabbard on the back of his neck and pressed to the ground fiercely.

"Who told you to come to find trouble? A small shop, worthy of this? ”

The man grinned in pain, but he didn't say a word.

Zhao Rang was not angry, but the strength in his hand increased by two points, and suddenly he screamed out of the courtyard wall and spread to the long street outside.

"I'll ask you one last time, who made you do this?"

Zhao Rang's voice was as cold as frost.

"It's Mrs. Liu!"

The man finally couldn't bear the pain and cried out.

"It was Mrs. Liu who asked us to come to this shop for trouble, and I don't know anything else!"

Zhao Rang let go of his hand and walked out of the room.

The boss was still hiding outside the door and secretly watched, and when he saw Zhao Rang coming out, he hurriedly greeted him:

"Are you alright?"

Zhao Rang shook his head and said:

"I'm fine. Go back, they won't come to trouble you again. ”

After speaking, he also gave the boss a silver ticket, telling him that it is estimated that the city will be very unpeaceful in the next few days, and let him be more careful.

Leaving the shop, Zhao Rang's heart was full of monstrous waves...... He didn't expect Mrs. Liu to be so unruly. It seems that she is really in a hurry!

But it's good that way, so you don't have to worry about it.

Zhao Rang didn't go back to the inn, and went straight to Mrs. Liu's cloth village, today is the time to solve the problem.

Today, it is very lively in front of the cloth village.

It's not that there are many people buying cloth, but they are all standing and watching the excitement.

He squeezed into the crowd and saw a group of men busy carrying and tidying up, looking like they were going to change the door.

Zhao Rang strode into Buzhuang, passed through the small door, and came to Mrs. Liu's bedroom.

The bedroom door was wide open, and Madame Liu sat at the table, cutting a delicate piece of fabric.

"Mrs. Liu still makes clothes with her own hands?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she knew that Zhao Rang was coming, but she still didn't put down the work in her hand and replied:

"Only you know whether the clothes are good or not, and the tone is like this, it's better to do it yourself at the beginning, and it's definitely easy to wear by yourself."

Zhao Rang said coldly:

"Is it easy to wear blood-stained clothes?"

Mrs. Liu paused slightly, then sighed, turned to face Zhao Rang, and said:

"Childe hasn't gone out for three days, and as soon as he goes out, he comes to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but he has been holding his anger in the house for the past three days?"

Zhao Rang didn't go around in circles with her at all, and said bluntly:

"I want to see your lord!"

His tone was resolute, and there was no room for negotiation.

Because Zhao Rang knew that Madam Liu would definitely have a way to contact the city lord, it would not be difficult for her to make an appointment

Mrs. Liu didn't know what Zhao Rang meant by coming to see Di Tian at this time, but this disrupted her plans, so she chose to keep silent.

"Okay, then I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion to find him myself!"

"Stop!"

Mrs. Liu scolded!

"You can't go!"

Mrs. Liu, who has always been gentle and gentle and calls herself a concubine, finally reveals a bit of the domineering of the boss of the dry city!

"Why can't I go? Don't you think I'm from the Investigation Division? The special envoy of the Investigation Division came to Zhenhai City to do business and meet the city lord, which is reasonable for both public and private! ”

Mrs. Liu was a little discouraged by Zhao Rang's resoluteness...... But she still said inwardly:

"It's no good for anyone if you go!"

Zhao Rang hooked the corners of his mouth and said:

"I don't know what's wrong with you, and I don't care! Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether it's good or bad! ”

With that, he turned around and was about to go out.

Mrs. Liu was completely anxious, reached out and grabbed Zhao Rang's sleeve, and said:

"I can tell you what you want to know, but you just can't go right now!"

Zhao Rang stopped and looked at Mrs. Liu and asked:

"How do I know if what you're telling me doesn't matter, let alone whether it's true or not."

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and whispered a few words in Zhao Rang's ear.

Zhao Rang's pupils contracted violently when he heard this!

He stared at Mrs. Liu, as if trying to see through her heart.

Mrs. Liu was a little frightened by him, but she still stubbornly looked at Zhao Rang.

After a long while, Zhao Rang slowly retracted his gaze and turned away without saying a word.

Madame Liu looked at his back and let out a long sigh of relief.

She knew she had won her bet.
