Chapter 35: The Last Third Floor
"Jiming Mountain!" Liu Yuan subconsciously exclaimed, seeing that everyone was looking at him like this, he came back to his senses and overreacted.
"What?" asked Lei Xiaoxiao, puzzled.
"Ah, it's nothing, I just didn't expect it to be at Jiming Mountain near Qingchuan County. Liu Yuan froze, shook his head and said.
I only smiled bitterly in my heart, my obedient girl, I was pitted by the pendant, and the trial task of two and a half stars was so difficult to this extent, it was really fatal.
Lei Xiaoxiao didn't doubt him, but continued to say: "It stands to reason that it should be near Jiming Mountain, maybe Ming'er will have to go to the county commander and transfer the garrison in the city to investigate." ”
In the county seat of the Great Wei Dynasty, almost all the military affairs were controlled by the county commander, and in addition to the three classes of officials, there were also permanent garrisons in the city.
However, in non-emergency situations, you are not allowed to transfer troops without authorization, and you need to ask for instructions from the upper peak, that is, the county seat, whether you want to suppress bandits or what you are doing.
Therefore, the defenders of a county are not easy to mobilize, Lei Xiaoxiao has this certainty to say this, thinking that the goods leaving from the capital must be very important, not only related to the reputation of the Wan'an Dart Bureau, but also related to the imperial court.
If he could, Liu Yuan would like to seize this opportunity and follow the people from the county government to take a look, after all, it is related to the trial task.
If he goes alone, there is undoubtedly a little more danger, but unfortunately the abnormal situation in the inn is not resolved, and he can't get out, that worry.
Fortunately, it will take a few days for the county magistrates to ask for instructions, and I hope that in these few days, the two tasks of the basic and elite level can be completed.
Zheng Shiwu, who had just come back from outside, was almost awake when he saw the person lying on the long table in the room.
At this time, when he heard it now, he also understood what was going on, and he didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking, but he still admired the courage of the shopkeeper.
Something like this is obviously a big trouble, and they dare to go to their own inn, Zheng Dongxi thought to himself, and secretly threw an admiring look.
What he didn't know was that Liu Yuan had a hard time, if he hadn't heard the words Jimingshan in Lei Xiaoxiao's mouth later, he would have wanted to pick himself out.
Liu Yuanzheng weighed the pros and cons in his heart, but listened to Lei Xiaoxiao continue: "There may be trouble for you in the next few days, let's get to know each other, my name is Lei Xiaoxiao." ”
"Liu Yuan......" Liu Yuan came back to his senses, and then Zheng Dongxi and Li Lanxin also said their names to each other, and finally heard her brother reluctantly say: "Lei Qingfeng." ”
Obviously, he didn't really want to have anything to do with Liu Yuan and the others, and looked down on these people in front of him from the bottom of his bones.
After a few more gossips, getting to know each other, Lei Xiaoxiao really couldn't open his eyelids and went upstairs to sleep.
"It just so happens that I have to pack something on the third floor. Liu Yuan got up and walked up, and at the same time, he didn't forget to turn his head and say to Zheng Dongxi: "You come up, I have something to say to you." ”
After that, Zheng Shixi got up suspiciously and followed, Lei Qingfeng was still a little strange, but seeing that Liu Yuan also called his own plan, he thought that he had something to talk about alone, so he ignored it.
Lei Xiaoxiao held the same idea, blinked and walked to the third floor with the stairs, and when he walked to the second floor, Liu Yuan didn't forget to bring a white rag and took a broom by the way.
Now there is only the third floor left, and to be honest, I am not afraid that it is fake, so Liu Yuan called Zheng Dongshi as well.
It's a thief anyway, so you have to be more vigilant, and you can help yourself if you really encounter something.
After a busy day, it was already late at night outside, and Liu Yuan estimated that it was three watches.
When the two of them walked up to the third floor, Lei Xiaoxiao's figure was no longer on the empty corridor, and the doors on both sides were closed, thinking that they had already fallen asleep.
Following behind the shopkeeper, Zheng Dongshi was really strange, why did the shopkeeper come up with these things.
Just as he was about to ask, Liu Yuan suddenly paused, turned around and said with a solemn expression: "Thing, do you remember the thief that night?"
In the night, only a little moonlight penetrated through the window in front of his head, and the shopkeeper was mysterious, which made Zheng Dongxi feel a little terrifying, his eyes flashed, and he muttered: "Remember...... Remember. ”
"Now your shopkeeper is going to find out this thief, and look at the rest of the place, and now there is only the third floor left, you can be careful for a while. After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he turned his back and walked forward.
Zheng Shixi, who was left behind, looked confused, he still didn't know what the shopkeeper was going to do when he came to grab the thief with a rag and a broom in his hand, or a weapon?
First walked to the head, the warehouse room on the far left, Liu Yuan picked up the lock on the door and looked at it, and found that there was no trace of being pried open, it was still intact, and muttered to Zheng Dongxi: "Well, it's not broken, it shouldn't have been here." And he put it down and left it alone.
After being in the inn for so long, Zheng Dongxi didn't know that there was a locked house here, and as a thief, he subconsciously moved in his heart.
Then he also stepped forward to take the lock in his hand and took a look, and from the perspective of a professional, he agreed with Liu Yuan's judgment.
Of course, Zheng Dongxi mainly didn't want to see if the lock was in good condition, but wanted to see how the lock should be opened without revealing a trace, which had become his instinct.
It took less than half a pillar of incense, and after Zheng Dongxi pondered it thoroughly, he turned around and found that there was no shopkeeper on the corridor.
A few steps forward, I saw an open room, the shopkeeper's ass twisted at him, and he was wiping the table with a rag in his hand!
Shocked, Zheng Dongxi couldn't understand, could it be that the shopkeeper didn't sleep at night, saying that he was catching thieves, but in fact, he was just coming up to clean up? What kind of quirk is this?
I had expected that Zheng Dongxi would be strange, so Liu Yuan deliberately didn't look behind him, and after cleaning up one room, he continued to the next one, with an indifferent and mysterious look on his face, so he didn't see Zheng Dongxi's strange eyes, in order to maintain his majesty as a shopkeeper.
At this time, Zheng Dongxi's heart had already taken the matter of finding a doctor for the shopkeeper to heart, otherwise he would have listened to what Lan Xin said last time, and it would be okay to find a monk and Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits for the shopkeeper.
The rooms were cleaned up one by one, and although nothing unusual was found, Liu Yuan still did not let his guard down.
I always felt that a mysterious person suddenly jumped out in the next moment, and the string in my heart was tense all the time, but when all the rooms were cleaned up, I didn't even let go of every corner, and there was still no shadow of that person.
"No, where is this thief hiding? ”
Hearing Liu Yuan's muttering, Zheng Dongxi casually pointed to the front and said, "Shopkeeper, you haven't seen this room yet." ”
Looking in the direction of Zheng Dongxi's finger, Liu Yuan's heart tightened again, it was the house where Lei Xiaoxiao slept.
