Before Song Qiu and the others could recover, the innkeeper came up and motioned them to leave, half politely and half suspiciously. The inn did not dare to entertain anyone who was with the murderer.
There was no choice but to drive the carriage away.
There are only three inns in Ye Town, and now they all seem to recognize Song Qiu and the others, and none of them want to entertain them.
This is typical of people who have money but no place to live, so they can only find a quiet alley to stay temporarily.
Fortunately, the weather is warm and you won't get cold even if you stay in the carriage all night.
Meng Chaoqun and Ma Liang were both worried about Du Chuanfu, but they also knew that the people did not fight against the officials. Their girls were just ordinary people. How could they stand up to the officials.
As servants, they could not share the worries of their master. All they could do was to stay outside the carriage and not let any gangsters, drunkards or the like get close and disturb the girl.
Little did he know that in the carriage, Song Qiu took out a seal from his purse and gave it to Aling. He was telling her in a low voice, "This is about sixty miles away from Songyang County. You can use Qinggong to move quickly."
, we will definitely be able to reach Songyang County before dawn."
"When the time comes, I will take this seal to go to the county magistrate of Songyang County. The arrester will not recognize the seal because he wants to close the case, and he cannot recognize it either, so it is best to go to the county magistrate."
"If the county magistrate doesn't recognize the seal, you should rush back immediately with the seal. We will buy time while you turn around and go to Qingping Mansion to find the governor."
This seal is the private seal of Li Mi, the crown prince of Changshan. Li Yang brought it to her when she was in Dongling County.
Li Mi knew that she was going to look for other places to build an inn, and it was unprepared for her convenience, so he sent her a private message for her to use when she was in trouble.
With this private seal, she can act in the name of Prince Changshan.
Li Mi would give this to her, although it was partly because of the bronze bird, but more importantly, it was because Li Yang was his and he gave it to her for Li Yang's sake.
Song Qiu had brought it with her when she came out, and had never thought of using it. But now that something like this happened and was involved in a murder case, she could not ignore Du Chuanfu and let him die unjustly.
So it is necessary to deal with the government.
But it's impossible to rely on her alone, so I can only rely on the name of this seal.
Aling took the seal solemnly, put it away carefully, nodded and said: "Sister Aqiu, don't worry, I'll be right back!"
After that, he jumped directly from the window and ran into the night, so fast that Meng Chaoqun and Ma Liang were not aware of it outside.
Originally, he had been heading straight towards Songyang County, but when Aling passed by the town hall, he thought about it and sneaked in.
With her Qinggong skills, she could reach Songyang County before dawn.
There was still enough time now, and she was not at ease if she was asked to leave Sister Aqiu's side for one night.
Especially here is a nasty head catcher who has looked at Sister A Qiu with such a lewd look before. Before leaving, this catcher also took a special look at Sister A Qiu!
…
The sky is brightening, and the most energetic morning of the day has begun.
Pedestrians were slowly passing by on the street, and the shops on the street were opening their doors one after another.
A mobile wonton stall rolled over and stopped at the entrance of the alley. The stove was burning, and the pot sitting on it was filled with steam.
"Wontons! Selling wontons!"
In the carriage carriage in the alley, Song Qiu slowly opened his eyes.
After opening the car curtain, Meng Chaoqun and the two men who had not dared to sleep all night in the car seat outside heard the noise and quickly jumped out of the car to make room for Song Qiu to get off.
"Let's go and have a bowl of wontons."
Song Qiu got out of the car and walked towards the alley.
Meng Chaoqun and Meng Chaoqun looked at each other. Meng Chaoqun lifted his heels while Ma Liang sat back in the carriage and drove the carriage ahead.
The three of them sat down and Song Qiu ordered three bowls of wontons.
Ma Liang asked: "Girl, doesn't Miss Ling want to eat?"
Song Qiu said calmly: "She is still asleep, don't worry about her."
Ma Liang silently closed his mouth and fell asleep. He drove over just now and felt that there was no one in the car.
The stall owner cooked the wontons quickly and brought them to the table, and the three of them ate quietly.
After a while, two people came together from the other side of the street and sat down at the wonton stall.
Immediately afterwards, more people came out to look for food one after another, and soon the wonton stall was full.
This wonton restaurant tastes quite good, and it's not surprising that the business is good.
Everyone gathered together to have breakfast. The east was long and the west was short. Where there were people, it was inevitable to talk and relax.
In the commotion, someone suddenly said: "Hey, have you heard about it?"
"What did you hear?" someone asked curiously.
But before the man could answer, the other man waved his hand and said, "You're talking about what happened at the Qingfeng Inn last night, right? Oh, we all know this! Isn't it just Mr. Zhu who came from the county and led his men to arrest him at the Qingfeng Inn?"
It’s the murderer of the meat scraping case!”
Someone refuted him, "Why is he the murderer? Didn't he just bring the suspect back for interrogation?"
"That's not the murderer. Why did the officer arrest him? I went to see him last night at the Qingfeng Inn. The suspect was tall and strong, and there was such a long scar on his face. He didn't look like a good person. They said he was a murderer.
I believe!"
"Hey! If he doesn't look like a good person, he is the murderer? I heard that the people from Qingfeng Inn only arrived in Ye Town at noon yesterday. How could he be the one who killed him?"
"That's right, I don't think these police officers from the county can really handle cases. The whole town was searched the night before yesterday, and a few police officers came to my house and just searched it. They also took the opportunity to ransack my house.
There are some valuable items! We say we are handling cases, but what is the difference between this and bandits!"
Everyone kept talking to each other, and the discussion was very intense.
The person who started talking looked at this and that, and raised his voice, "Hey! Why can't you guys stop talking? This is not what I want to say! I guarantee it will be fresh, do you want to listen?
?”
Being interrupted by him, everyone stopped and looked at him.
"You say it, you say it, we listen!"
"Come on, tell me! If this isn't the case, what's new in our town?"
The man burst out laughing, "Isn't this new news? It hasn't spread in town yet, and I'm one of the few insiders!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but become more curious, and eagerly waited for him to continue.
"I just passed by the town office first, and I listened attentively! There was another murder in our town last night. Guess who died?" This man made a final move and betrayed his identity again.
"There was another murder? Who was killed again? He was also killed by having his flesh picked off? Wasn't the murderer caught? Was he caught in the wrong way? The man yesterday was really not the murderer?"
"..."
Everyone was itching, "You should tell me quickly!"
The man shook his head, "The one who died was Zhu Captou from that county! He didn't die in the same way as the previous deceased. I heard that he died in his own room. There were no wounds on his body, except for a very thin line under his neck.
Where is the mouth!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Then Zhu Captou is dead?"
"Okay, who killed him?"
"Could it be the real murderer of the meat-scraping case? Don't you want Mr. Zhu to investigate this case?"
"This is not right! Capt. Zhu just caught a murderer. If he is the real murderer, he would rather someone took the blame for him, right? Why would he kill Capt. Zhu at this time?"
"Then who is he? Is he the same person as the meat scraper murderer? Is the man arrested yesterday the murderer?"
"It's so messy, it's so messy, I can't figure it out! Why did so many things happen to our little Ye Town suddenly?"
