Du Chuanfu was imprisoned all night and slept peacefully. He thought he was going to be tortured or something, but there was no movement all morning. Suddenly, he was arrested and released with fear and fear, and he was sent out of the town hall with a nod and bow.
Standing outside, Du Chuanfu was still confused and didn't understand what was happening.
He looked up and saw the carriage parked opposite, and quickly walked over.
The car curtain was lifted, revealing Song Qiu's face. Du Chuanfu walked over and called out respectfully, "Miss."
Song Qiu nodded, "It's okay. Just get on your horse and we'll set off and continue moving forward."
"Hey!" Du Chuanfu responded, took the reins from Meng Chaoqun, and the two of them got on the horse together.
The carriage was driven by Ma Liang, and the group headed for the entrance of the town.
During the march, Meng Chaoqun brought an oil paper bag to Du Chuanfu, which contained sesame cakes. "We have all had lunch, and the girl bought this for you."
Du Chuanfu took it and while eating it, he also learned from Meng Chaoqun that the girl had suddenly ordered a carriage to wait at the town hall first, as if she knew he would be let go.
They came and waited for a while, and sure enough, they saw him come out.
At this moment, Meng Chaoqun and the other two were still a little bit unconscious.
I thought that the girl was just an ordinary person and could not fight against the government.
But it seemed, it seemed, that the girl had done something. Otherwise, how could Du Chuanfu be let go as soon as he said he was to be let go?
Meng Chaoqun and Ma Liang knew better. They saw Miss Ling, who the girl said was sleeping in the carriage, coming from the street in a big way!
Although I don’t understand what the girl did, I vaguely know something about it, which makes me feel at ease, right?
The group left the town and headed slowly towards Songyang County.
In the carriage, Aling held a map hand-drawn by Song Qiu in his hand. He was pointing to a place and said to Song Qiu: "Here, it's this location. It's only about twenty miles from Ye Zhen. It's right on the edge of the official road.
It looks like it’s a newly opened inn.”
Song Qiu's hand-drawn maps were all based on the descriptions of convoy traders who often took these roads. Although they were not entirely detailed, the county towns, towns, and villages along the official road were all marked.
The place that Aling pointed to was named Crescent Lake because it was backed by a crescent-shaped lake. Therefore, this section was also called Crescent Bay. There were no villages around it.
It is twenty miles away from Ye Town and about forty miles away from Songyang County. At least ten miles of it are deserted. It is indeed a good place for building an inn.
She had thought about Taiyue Bay before, so she didn't make an immediate decision when she was at Liujiaji. She said she would go on and finish reading.
Song Qiu sighed, someone had taken the lead.
"Let's go take a look first and then talk."
Not long after leaving Ye Town, several horses came galloping from behind, and they rushed past the carriage like a gust of wind.
The curtains of the car are always raised so that you can see the scenery along the way.
Al-Ling caught a glimpse of the horses galloping by and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Isn't this a dead policeman? The case has not been solved yet, what kind of county lieutenant just came and left! Leaving behind a group of policemen without a leader, who can
What kind of thing is it going to be?"
"Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The people below are like wine and rice sacks. The superior officer is not a good person either!"
"Sister Aqiu, you don't know that when the Songyang County Magistrate heard that I told him that his catcher had arrested the wrong person in solving the case, and asked him to let him go, he almost refused to recognize my seal and said that I was committing fraud.
! He also wanted to ask someone to detain me. If I hadn’t threatened him with my bare hands, he would have been frightened and wouldn’t have sent someone to Ye Town immediately!"
"So, if Songyang County has such a magistrate and a bunch of idlers who don't do anything practical, the safety is very worrying!"
"Sister Aqiu, do you think we should skip Songyang County?"
I don't know why I always feel intimidated about opening an inn here.
As for the meat scraping case, I don’t know if someone will be made a scapegoat. Who is the murderer?
Song Qiu nodded, "We're already here, let's go with the plan and see Zhou Zhen all the way first before making a decision. If it doesn't work then, then we'll just settle on Liujiaji!"
Twenty miles is not that far.
After passing two villages, the road ahead became deserted. There were woods on both sides of the official road, one after another, and there were more and more bends.
Immediately afterwards, after passing a piece of thatched grassland that was taller than a person, I looked up and saw a crescent-shaped lake on the left hand side in front of the official road. Behind the lake, there was a grassland plain as far as the eye could see.
On the left is a lake, and on the right is a forest.
The forest was deep and dense with trees, but a large piece of land was left vacant next to the official road. The trees were cut down and a purely wooden building was built.
There are tall and dense trees behind it. Not to mention, it would look a bit weird at night.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow was shining on the building, and the trees were green and green, so it looked fine.
Ah Ling pointed from a distance, "Here! Sister Ah Qiu, look, this is the newly opened inn! There are dense trees behind it. I didn't even notice it when I passed by last night. I didn't take a look until I came back today.
Arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage came closer.
The inn looks quite new, it must have just opened not long ago.
At least when she asked the merchants traveling this way before setting off, she didn't hear them mention that an inn had been opened here.
The three-door facade only has two floors. The four characters "Black Wind Inn" are hung on the door. The cloth banners hung on sticks under the eaves are fluttering in the wind, with the same characters above.
Black Wind Inn.
This name sounds a bit unpleasant to my ears.
Facing the door is the counter. There is a waiter leaning in front of the counter and taking a nap. He suddenly listens to the sound of horses, opens his eyes and sees that there are customers outside, and he immediately becomes energetic.
He picked up the rag on his shoulder and shook it, then strode out to greet him.
"Would you like some of our guests to stay in the hotel? Please come in quickly!"
The charming female shopkeeper in a white dress behind the counter also became energetic. She squinted her eyes and tried her best to look at the people outside without leaving any trace.
Du Chuanfu and Meng Chaoqun got off their horses and handed the reins to the waiter who came out, "We are staying in the hotel, are there any vacancies?"
"Yes, yes! Come on in, please!" the waiter greeted warmly, took the reins and went to lead the carriage.
The car curtain opened, Song Qiu and Aling got out one after another, and the group went to the inn together.
When the female shopkeeper saw that there were two young girls with tender skin and tender flesh in this business, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and it disappeared in an instant. She walked out from behind the counter with a smile, "How many rooms do you want? How about the upper room?"
Meng Chaoqun stepped forward and said, "Two ordinary rooms are enough, they have to be next to each other."
"Okay, sir, come with me." He said, leading a few people upstairs.
Go up to the second floor and there are two rooms around the corner.
The female shopkeeper brought the person in with a smile and said politely: "Whatever your guest needs, just ask. What would you like to have for dinner? Should we eat downstairs or have it delivered to the room?"
It was still early now, so Meng Chaoqun said: "Let's talk about it later."
The female shopkeeper responded with a smile, turned around and walked downstairs.
