Chapter 1075: Assassination
Mrs. Baili and Li Qi gradually walked away, and Mingqin remembered that there was still something to do, so he went directly to the Chengnan Inn according to Zhu Yingzi's instructions.
Although this inn is not very luxurious, it is rare that there are many travelers, dragons and snakes are mixed, if you want to find out what news, it is a good place to go.
Ming Qin took Zhu Yingzi's room card and entered the Gengshen number, Junzi Orchid was prepared by Zhu Yingzi, and there were a few other pots of flowers, which would be placed in different colors in case of different situations to warn.
Ming Qin pushed open the window and looked at it, and found that there was a stable behind it, and there were quite a few pedestrians coming out and entering.
Ming Qin put Jun Zilan on the windowsill and waited patiently.
After more than half an hour, there were suddenly a few low knocks on the door outside, and Ming Qin hurriedly got up and opened the door, but there was no one outside the door.
Ming Qin was suspicious, and saw a man wearing a felt hat walking around the corner and looking back, his appearance was very suspicious.
Ming Qin hesitated slightly, closed the door and chased out. A shopkeeper exited from the next room, carrying a pot of tea and bumping into Mingqin.
"Ouch, the guest officer can't stop it. ”
Mingqin frowned slightly, the shopkeeper nodded and apologized, while taking a towel to help him wipe it, holding something in his hand and quickly stuffing it into his belt.
Ming Qin was stunned for a moment, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Be careful next time. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
The shopkeeper owed himself and left without looking back.
Ming Qin returned to the room and took out the piece of cloth stuffed in the belt of his clothes, on which was written a line of small letters, "Urgent, the plan is canceled, don't come again." ”
Mingqin was greatly disappointed and faintly relieved. It seems that the person who the royal family found to contact Zhu Yingzi may have had an accident. It is impossible to rob and save people with the power of the Zhu sisters alone, Zhu Yingzi should not be so unwise, he has to throw moths into the fire and kill himself. Besides, Zhu Yan was quite safe, although he did not tell the whereabouts of Xingtian's head, and Li Qi did not torture to extract a confession.
Ming Qin hesitated to leave this place of right and wrong first, and the door was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome boy in brocade walked in, holding an anchor gold folding fan, with a slender figure and a graceful demeanor.
"What's the matter here?" Ming Qin didn't know where this brocade-clothed boy came from, but he had just gotten the news and knew that this place had been revealed, so he wouldn't reveal his identity.
The brocade-clothed boy looked at Ming Qin meaningfully, held the folding fan and knocked it twice in his palm, pushed the door behind him and walked into a blue-clothed warrior, and said respectfully: "What does the prince command?"
"Bring people in. The boy in brocade smiled lightly, which made people feel dizzy.
Since the opening of Pangu, the Three Realms originally had gods and immortals, and the two realms grew and disappeared from each other. The fairy world and the four spirit warring states of later generations are all prosperous times of immortals, and the atmosphere is open, not only there are many men who are generous and sad, but there are also many strange women among the women who lead countless heroes to bend their waists.
Cultivators are mavericks, especially many unruly people, women disguise themselves as men, and walk the rivers and lakes, which is common. Ming Qin has seen a lot of girls who are easy to match, and some of them are just for the convenience of travel, and they have no intention of faking them, so it is naturally not difficult to identify. There are also those who deliberately hide their identities, but they can't help but show flaws.
It is common for a man to pretend to be a woman or a woman to play a man, but in order to be realistic, it is not only necessary to look a little similar, but also to behave and figure is especially important. The things in the world are born of yin and yang, and most of them have slightly the same personality and appearance. But there are also inconsistencies between the inside and the outside, and the contrast is great. Zhang Zifang is a strange man, but his appearance is like a woman and a woman.
Probably some people have big differences in appearance and temperament, and it is easier to change their appearance, or they are too deep in the play and do not feel that they are transformed by them.
This brocade boy is gorgeously dressed, but there is a bit of fat powder, it is easy to see that it is Yi Hai and Ben, she is probably not as accustomed to as Zhu Yingxiu, but there is a little girlish shyness in her gestures.
The blue-clothed warrior went out and beckoned, and the warrior under his command pushed a thin young man in, Ming Qin glanced at it lightly, and recognized it as the shopkeeper from Fang Cai, and was slightly surprised.
"Guest, what are you doing? If you are not satisfied with anything, you can ask our shopkeeper for theory. ”
The shopkeeper showed a flaw somewhere, and he was still dying, looking innocent.
The brocade-clothed boy took out a waist card from his arms, put it in front of the shopkeeper, and said in a deep voice: "I see clearly, I now suspect that you are related to the assassin who plotted to assassinate the Holy Driver, and our Feilongwei's prison has the means to make you confess." ”
This waist plate is quite similar to Mingqin's, with a black dragon depicted on the back, and three dragon medals of the Flying Dragon Guard written on the front.
"Guest officer,...... Master Jun, I think you must be mistaken. ”
The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, and he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.
Mingqin didn't expect that the prince in brocade was a person from the Flying Dragon Guard, and Zhu Yingzi only said that the royal family would send someone here to contact him, but for some reason, he had something to do with the assassin.
"I have heard that the Flying Dragon Guard is a high-flying and domineering person, and is good at pointing to deer as horses, and the girl has identified us as the assassins who assassinated the Dragon Emperor, but I don't know what evidence we have?"
Ming Qin didn't know what the identity of this man's girl was, it seemed that his status was not low, he asked himself if he had nothing to do with the assassin, even if he had rescued the Zhu family sisters, Feilongwei should not have found it so quickly, it seemed that most of them were by mistake.
The boy in brocade was called by Ming Qin to break his disguise, glared at him fiercely, and scolded: "Where did you hear the gossip." We, the Flying Dragon Guard, are the Dragon Emperor's internal guards, acting on the orders of the Emperor. 'Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers'. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a common person, Feilongwei has always treated everyone equally, and he will not wronged a good person, nor will he let go of a wicked person. ”
"Present the evidence. ”
The brocade girl snorted lightly, and the blue-clothed warrior hurriedly handed over a mahogany box, and the brocade girl opened the wooden box and took out a crystal clear bead.
"See for yourselves. ”
The girl in brocade held the pearl in her hand and put it in front of Ming Qin, Ming Qin was suspicious, and looked into the beads, only to see that the beads were colorful and changing, as if acting, and it was the scene where the shop guy sent him a message.
The girl in brocade stretched out her white onion fingers and rubbed on the beads, and the moment when the shopkeeper stuffed him with a piece of cloth suddenly appeared like a picture, and as the girl in brocade bent her fingers, the picture slowly enlarged and became extremely clear.
The shopkeeper's face was as dead as ashes, and he thought he was acting cautiously, and he didn't expect that someone was lurking on his side and ingested the scene of him delivering a letter to Mingchin. This bead is very similar to the shadow beads of the fairy world, and the shadow beads and shadow god diagrams are commonplace in the fairy world, and everyone knows its mysteries and is accustomed to it, and it has an irreplaceable role in collecting criminal evidence.
The beads of the girl in brocade are called dragon beads, there are thirty-six in total, which are the remnants of the bones after the death of the thousand-year-old dragon body, like the relics of Buddhism. The Lady in Brocade secretly placed a dragon ball in the south of the city inn, and every corner of the inn was under the watchful eye of the Wyvernguard. She came to the Chengnan Inn today to discuss something with the boss. The shopkeeper was ordered to summon the message to Ming Qin, and he thought he was doing a secret, but unfortunately fell into the eyes of the blue-clothed warrior, this person is also a master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, his eyes are like torches, and the girl in brocade retrieves the dragon ball and reads it carefully, and sure enough, she found traces of beads.
"What does this mean, and what does it have to do with the Assassins?"
Ming Qin didn't know if the helper found by the royal family would be involved in the dragon slayer who assassinated the Dragon Emperor, and the news that the shop guy gave him was nothing more than not to let the Zhu family sisters act rashly, in fact, who in the rivers and lakes can not have some privacy, and it is common to spread the news.
"I knew that you didn't cry when you didn't see the coffin, and it didn't matter if you didn't admit it, this ...... The girl has a way to get you to confess. ”
Although the dragon ball can enlarge the picture, it is difficult to read the text on the cloth. The girl in brocade was full of confidence, and she didn't know if it was a bluff or if she had conclusive evidence.
"Take them away. ”
The girl in brocade commanded her subordinates to arrest people, and the shopkeeper knew that he could not be spared, so he suddenly let out a low cry and walked away.
There are not many people around the girl in brocade, but she is the elite of the Flying Dragon Guard, and everyone saw that the shop guy was about to escape, so they hurriedly pulled open the frame and stepped forward to intercept it.
The shopkeeper overturned the table and grabbed the things in the guest room and threw them around to block the pursuit of the Wyvernguard, but the samurai was afraid of accidentally injuring the brocade girl, so he let the shopkeeper rush and escape.
The blue-clothed warrior was afraid that Ming Qin would help, but he didn't look like he had anything to do with himself, so he didn't take the opportunity to attack. Several samurai chased out of the guest room, only to see a middle-aged man in a brocade embroidered robe with a few family members rushing to meet him, and saw the shopkeeper wave his hand, "Go, arrest him." ”
All the family members rushed up and threw the shopkeeper with a flamboyant look to the ground. The shopkeeper was shocked and struggled and shouted, "Boss Zhuo, why are you ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was beaten by a burly and powerful family member with a fist, his nose and face were swollen, and a few front teeth were lost, and he couldn't say anything.
The girl in brocade went out, but when she saw that Boss Zhuo led someone to beat the shop guy beyond recognition, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to ask for any news.
"Young Master Xiao, the old man is late. I don't know that there are spies hidden in my inn, secretly colluding with gangsters, and I hope that my son will forgive my sins. ”
Boss Zhuo's name is Zhuo Nandou, he is a big merchant in Shenjing City, and he has a wide range of travel, and the Chengnan Inn is his industry.
"Thank you, Boss Zhuo. Leave this person to me. ”
The girl in brocade knows that Zhuo Nandou is in the official mansion, and she also has a lot of dealings with Green Forest Road. It may even be an important figure in the Dragon Slayer Society. This time, the Dragon Slayer Club organized people to stab the Dragon Emperor on the street, shaking the government and the opposition, and the Flying Dragon Guard had already set his sights on Zhuo Nandou, but this person had a strong background and had a friendship with Xiao Qingxuan. The girl in brocade is Xiao Qingxuan's only daughter, Xiao Yilan, she came to find Zhuo Nandou for another reason, tracking down the assassin is just a fool.
"Boss—"
Zhuo Nandou's subordinates don't know the depths, and the shopkeepers are suspicious, and it is likely that Zhuo Nandou will be implicated, so it is not very safe to hand it over to Feilongwei.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Xiao Gongzi is Xiao Ti's heavy lifter, and this person is relieved to give it to his old man. ”
Zhuo Nandou's face was slightly gloomy, he had some friendship with Xiao Qingxuan, and he was also quite familiar with Xiao Yilan, but it was inconvenient to call him by his name in public.
"Yes. ”
The Zhuo family did not dare to disobey the order, and handed over the shopkeeper to the warriors of the Flying Dragon Guard.
"Childe came to the Chengnan Inn, why didn't I know the old man. failed to wait, and hoped that the son would bear with me. How about you come into the house and tell us about it?"
Zhuo Nandou arched his hand at Xiao Yilan and said with a smile.
"No need. I still have something to do, so I won't bother. ”
Xiao Yilan pointed to Ming Qin, "You also go back with me and wait for the interrogation." ”
Zhuo Nandou was stunned, Xiao Yilan came to the door in person, and he had something important to entrust him to do, but now he suddenly changed his mind and ignored that matter, which was unusual, even if Zhuo Nandou was scheming, he was also a little caught off guard.
"Good, good. This one...... The little girl has come back recently, and she and Childe have a good relationship, if Childe has leisure, can he talk about it. ”
Zhuo Nandou has a daughter, whose name is Qinxin, who is extraordinarily beautiful and a famous talented woman, who died of her husband a few years after marriage, and now she is back to her parents' widowhood.
"Sister Zhuo is back, let me visit another day. ”
Xiao Yilan and Zhuo Qinxin are handkerchiefs, and the two women are both talented and intelligent, and they understand the rhythm of music, just like Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, who understand the meaning of the sound. After Zhuo Qinxin got married, the two rarely saw each other, and Xiao Yilan also felt lonely.
Although Zhuo Nandou and Xiao Qingxuan have some friendships, one is a businessman and the other is an official, it is just a matter of interests, hearing that the assassin was assassinated on the street, the Dragon Emperor was furious, and ordered Feilongwei to arrest the assassin within a time limit, and if there are suspicious characters, they will be arrested and put into the Feilongwei prison for strict interrogation, Zhuo Nandou is also afraid of being implicated, and he wanted to take this opportunity to test Xiao Yilan's tone, but Xiao Yilan shirked in every possible way, and did not give him a chance to clarify at all.
Zhuo Nandou had no choice but to send Xiao Yilan away with a smile on his face.
Ming Qin didn't contact the people of the imperial family, and it was useless to return to the Junjun Mansion, Zhu Yan was very likely to be locked up in the Feilongwei Prison, if he could take this opportunity to go in and investigate, it would not be useless.
Out of the Chengnan Inn, Xiao Yilan summoned the blue-clothed warrior to him, pointed to the shopkeeper and said, "Uncle Lei, you take this person back for interrogation first, don't worry about me." ”
Lei Kaishan is Xiao Qingxuan's junior brother, and his status in the Heavenly Demon Sect is quite high, Xiao Qingxuan has more than ten righteous sons, Xiao Yilan is not very involved in the affairs of the Flying Dragon Guard, this time he was suddenly so enthusiastic, let him bring people to the Chengnan Inn to investigate. Lei Kaishan was also very strange, and now he heard that Xiao Yilan did not return to the Flying Dragon Guard with them, which was even more inexplicable.
"Calamity, the Shenjing City is not very peaceful these days, the Dragon Slayer Society even dares to assassinate His Majesty, our Flying Dragon Guard is ordered to investigate this case, and will definitely be retaliated by the Dragon Slayer Society, in my opinion, you better be careful, it's best not to be too far away from home." This person also has a relationship with the Dragon Slayer Society, and should be brought back together for interrogation. ”
Lei Kaishan didn't know why Xiao Yilan wanted to leave Ming Qin alone, this person was handsome, and it was rare that he was calm and unhurried, and he was not cramped in the face of Feilongwei. But the more this is the case, the more Lei Kaishan is worried about letting him and Xiao Yilan be alone.
"I know this person. Uncle Shi, you don't have to worry about it. Let's take someone back first. ”
Xiao Yilan beckoned to Ming Qin and smiled, "Let's go." ”
Ming Qin didn't expect that this brocade girl dressed as a man was actually Xiao Qingxuan's only daughter, that is, Mo Yu's cousin or cousin.
"Could it be that she knows where I'm coming from?"
Ming Qin's heart moved slightly, he and Yu Yu had just come to Shenjing, and it was a bit unbelievable to say that Xiao Yanlan knew his identity. How could she know that Ming Qin would come to the Chengnan Inn and set up an ambush.
"You must wonder who I am, why did I arrest you and not give it to the Wyvern for interrogation. ”
Xiao Yilan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sly smile.
