Chapter 249
Because the city gates were suddenly closed, many people were at a loss for a while. Many people trapped in the city could only huddle together, sleep on the streets, and silently watch the officers and soldiers passing by one after another, hoping that they could be opened tomorrow morning.
City gate, otherwise those who don’t have much money may find it difficult to even eat.
Led by the middle-aged man, Lin Ye and his group quickly arrived at Mingyue Tower in Xinyang City. As soon as they entered, Lin Ye felt something different inside.
The specifications and prices of Mingyue Building are aimed at the middle-class and wealthy, and at least the environment is very quiet. But the current Mingyue Building is very noisy, and there are a lot of people gathered in the lobby on the first floor, making it very noisy.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "Because the city gate was suddenly closed, many people were trapped in the city. At noon today, the government came to the door in person and asked us to welcome some people in, so it is like this now.
, Sirs, thank you."
Wang Liyan nodded: "Since it is an order from the government, it can only be like this. Do you still have a room for us?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "There must be rooms for the adults. Do you want to rest first?"
Wang Liyan looked at the faces of her classmates around her. They were all very tired. She immediately said: "I have been on the road for two days. Let's rest first. Junior brothers and sisters, please order whatever you want to eat. We have provided food and accommodation outside for the past few days.
, I’ve taken care of everything, let’s go back to the room first, have a good meal, and have a better night’s rest.”
"Yes, those who have been impatient along the way should take a good rest."
"Yes, yes, it's time to take a good rest."
The middle-aged man quickly called three maids and led everyone upstairs. He also specifically ordered the adults to do their best to satisfy them if they had any requests and to take good care of you.
Lin Ye was also very tired. He wanted to follow the others, but was stopped by Wang Liyan, who said he wanted to discuss what to do next. The few people immediately walked into a private room with very good soundproofing.
The middle-aged man's surname is Tang Jingyun. He is thirty-nine years old this year. Both his parents are inner disciples of Tianxia Hall. Unfortunately, Tang Jingyun's own martial arts talent is not good enough and he cannot gain a foothold in Tianxia Hall, so he was sent out. After more than twenty years,
After years of hard work, he became the shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower in Xinyang City, and was in charge of all the assets of the Qingcheng Sect in Xinyang City.
Lin Ye sat casually on the cushion in the room. Gaozhou was obviously tired. Seeing Lin Ye sitting so casually, he smiled and said: "I'm so damn tired after coming all the way. I feel like I was doing hard training back then."
It feels like, unfortunately, my body is getting old after all.”
"Senior Brother Gao is very young, not old at all~"
"Hahaha, it's fine if others tell me, but you are almost twenty years younger than me. In front of you, it's really hard not to grow old."
Gaozhou also sat casually on the cushion. The two of them sat in a very inelegant posture. Only Wang Liyan still had the reserve of a woman and sat upright on the cushion.
Seeing this, Lin Ye and Gao Zhou had no feeling at all. If the elders saw them like this inside the gate, they would have to scold them to death. They would embarrass the Qingcheng disciples and have no sense of shame!
It's a pity, two people against one person.
If there are many people who are shameless, then this is no longer shameful~
Both of them thought so.
There is strength in numbers, and the ancients will not deceive me.
"Sit down too and tell us everything you know."
After hearing Wang Liyan's words, Tang Jingyun nodded respectfully and knelt down on the ground (two against two, the two of them continued to ignore shamelessly): "I have written the general matter in the monthly report. The cause was the incident the day before yesterday morning.
It was a fierce battle. According to the information we inquired about, people from the Imperial City Department and Shaolin Temple were involved, and even a senior executive died. That’s why the government issued an emergency lockdown and must catch the murderer."
Tang Jingyun paused, raised his head and looked at the three people and said: "But there is always a reason for everything. Why was there the big battle the day before yesterday? In the past two days, I spent 30,000 taels of silver and sent people everywhere to find out.
Although the final decision cannot be made yet, judging from the bits and pieces of news coming back, the two murderers are probably from Shaolin."
"Shaolin?" Gaozhou frowned and said, "You mean that old woman and that young woman are Shaolin nuns? There are still nuns in Shaolin Temple now?"
Tang Jingyun shook his head and said: "Those two people are definitely not nuns, maybe they are people doing other things in the Shaolin Temple. The villain made this judgment based on two pieces of news. At night nearly two months ago, there was a disturbance in the Shaolin Temple.
Many monks died, and from that day on, the activities outside the Shaolin Temple became significantly more active."
"Also, starting from that day, news about the old woman and the young woman began to spread in the world. The news was very fragmentary, but from what is known, these two people should have been killed in the past two months.
There are so few people... They have been being hunted by the Shaolin Temple!"
"So, I boldly speculate that these two people were trapped in the Shaolin Temple before, and then they escaped by chance, and then they were hunted down by the Shaolin Temple for crazy revenge. Until today, they were finally trapped in Xinyang City!"
Looking at Tang Jingyun's burning eyes, Lin Ye was still very surprised. There were so many talents in the Qingcheng faction, but Gaozhou next to him fell silent and asked after a long time: "Is there any concrete evidence?"
After Tang Jingyun hesitated for a moment, he shook his head: "No, the information is blocked too much. These are just my own speculations. I don't even dare to write them in the monthly report."
Anything that can be written into the monthly report is an inevitable event with solid evidence. Otherwise, a person who writes poorly will be guilty of a serious crime. Therefore, Tang Jingyun did not dare to write his speculations in the monthly report.
"Your speculation is really bold. It's almost like saying that Shaolin Temple is colluding with the imperial court... No, it's like being bribed by the imperial court."
Only the imperial court can seal the city. How about rashly sealing the city for the sake of the Shaolin Temple? No, the Shaolin Temple will not let the imperial court do this for it. On the contrary, it is possible that the Shaolin Temple will do things for the imperial court.
"It's chaos! You continue to investigate this matter. Once you have conclusive evidence, report it back to Yunwu Mountain immediately. As for your speculation, I will tell it to the elders of the sect after I return to the mountain. Let's talk about the two murderers.
Is there any news about them?"
Tang Jingyun shook his head: "No, the information is all in the hands of the government, but judging from the scattered information, these two people are most likely seriously injured, and they are almost certainly trapped in the city, otherwise the government would not do this
He went to war to block the city."
"Oh, Shaolin, the government, Junior Sister Mu, the old woman, and those killers, this time's actions are really treacherous, but this is what makes it interesting!"
Gaozhou stood up and walked to the window, looking at the chaotic market outside, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
