Xu Qing'an walked through the door like a gust of wind. The inn clerk came to greet him and was about to speak, but Xu Qing'an waved his hand and interrupted.
The waiter immediately became nervous when he saw the bad people arriving: "Are you guys going to stay at the hotel?" Their inn was not located in a busy place, and it was usually very quiet. But when such a man came in suddenly, he knew it.
Something must happen.
Uncle Lei looked around and his eyes fell on a person in the corner.
Xu Qingan glanced at the man calmly. He was short and thin, not as good as the monkey Meng Lingyun. If he raised his hand, he would fall to the ground in the blink of an eye.
In this inn, there are Zhenren Zhang, Uncle Lei and him. None of them can be offended, even if that person has accomplices...
Xu Qingan narrowed his eyes and counted everyone among them. With Uncle Lei and Zhenren Zhang opening the way for him, he could still rush out.
Uncle Lei nodded and signaled Xu Qing'an to go do something.
Xu Qing'an looked at the waiter: "Call your shopkeeper here and tell him that I want to ask him for questioning."
The guy didn't dare to go down in a hurry.
After a moment, the shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile on his face. Xu Qingan took out Xie Yuan's jade pendant: "Shopkeeper, my brother has something to store with you. Bring it and we will leave."
The shopkeeper naturally knew the jade pendant, so he stretched out his hand to tie it: "Young Master, come with me."
Xu Qingan looked around again before following the shopkeeper to get something.
A small package wrapped in green cloth fell into Xu Qing'an's hands. Xu Qing'an weighed it a few times. The items inside were very light and should be some papers: "That's it?"
"That's all," the shopkeeper said in a low voice, "don't worry, please thank the second master for the things he left. I don't dare to neglect them."
Xu Qing'an put the green cloth bag back into his arms. He didn't expect that everything would come so easily. It seemed that he was too nervous before. Presumably that person was just monitoring them and did not dare to do anything blatantly.
Xu Qing'an thought about walking out.
Fu'an Inn was still very quiet, as if nothing had happened. There were guests in the shop who were looking for Zhang Zhenren to make predictions. Many people were listening to Zhang Zhenren's words attentively, but they never noticed Xu Qing'an's actions.
Xu Qingan looked at Mr. Zhang. This old bastard was of some use. Just as he was about to walk out of the inn, someone stepped into the inn.
The man looked around in panic, then landed on Xu Qing'an's face and said in a trembling voice: "His Majesty Anyi, are you His Majesty Anyi?"
Xu Qingan nodded.
The man's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body was shaking involuntarily: "Did you take something? Can you give me that thing?"
Xu Qingan frowned and smiled contemptuously: "What if I don't give it to you? Are you going to steal it?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know how to rob, but my wife and children will die. They said that if I don't take the things back, they will kill my family."
After the man finished speaking, tears fell down. He stretched out his hand to pull Xu Qing'an but was stopped by Uncle Lei. The man simply knelt down and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve with trembling. When he opened the bag, there were two fingers.
"Please," the man said, "give me the things and let me take them back in exchange for the lives of my wife and children. If you do a good job, our family will definitely repay you in the future."
Xu Qingan was stunned there, never expecting that things would turn out like this and that Xie Yun would use such methods.
The man's feet went weak and he almost knelt down. He clenched two fingers tightly: "Please, please, please give me the things first. As long as I save my wife and children, I will pay for all the things in the future."
Even if you act like a cow or a horse, we will find a way to repay you."
Xu Qingan looked at the sad man and could only grit his teeth: "Where is your family?"
The man pointed outside and saw a carriage parked on the street not far away.
Xu Qingan looked at Uncle Lei, who was about to check.
"Don't go," the man said in a panic, "He said that as long as you go over, he will kill people... Please, just take the things... and they will leave if you take the things."
The carriage is some distance away from here, not to mention that Uncle Lei's sleeve arrows can't reach that far. Even if it can reach it, the curtains of the carriage are now hanging down, and it is difficult to see what's going on inside. It's impossible to identify where the murderer is, and the arrows in his sleeves don't know where to hit.
"Give him something and they will live."
The man who had been stared at by Uncle Lei for several days stood up from the corner, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to leave.
"Stop," Xu Qing'an shouted, "Where are you going?"
The man looked panicked: "I... I just... was ordered to keep an eye on the second master. I didn't do anything. I didn't know anything. I saw you came here after coming out of the palace, so I followed you here.
It’s none of my business.”
It's all calculated.
Xu Qingan had veins floating on his forehead. Of course he was unwilling to give up what he had got, but what would he do if someone really killed someone in the carriage?
Just as Xu Qingan was thinking about it, a cry came from the carriage, and then a woman said in a panic: "Sanlang, Sanlang, where are you? Please, let us go."
There was a panic on the street, and the carriage curtain moved as if something was thrown out.
Someone happened to be walking by the carriage. The person subconsciously glanced at the ground, and then screamed, and it turned out to be a piece of finger.
The child's cry made Xu Qingan upset.
The man was already paralyzed on the ground, looking at Xu Qingan with a pair of eyes: "Please, I...I beg you..." After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, stood up and rushed towards Xu Qingan, "Give me, give me the thing
I...let me save my child."
When the man rushed towards him, the spy sent by Xie Yun tried to sneak away in the chaos. Uncle Lei immediately stood up to stop him. At the same time, Master Zhang quietly opened the window and leaned towards the carriage.
Xu Qing'an wanted to reach out to hold the man and calm him down. As soon as he thought about it, he stretched out his hand. When he saw that he was about to collide with the man, someone behind him shouted: "Be careful."
Xu Qing'an subconsciously ducked to the side, and the man immediately jumped away. The man probably didn't expect Xu Qing'an to get out of the way. Just before his body hit the ground, he stretched out his hand to support himself and use his strength to stand firm.
This small move immediately brought Xu Qing'an back to his senses. This man was not a commoner with no power at all, but an expert.
scam.
The words he just said were all to deceive them.
After Xu Qing'an thought about this, he immediately pulled out the soft sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "It's all fake, don't be fooled." He stabbed the man with his sword.
As expected, the man dodged away.
…
On the other side of the carriage, Master Zhang had already arrived, and the cry of the baby in the carriage was moving.
The moment Zhang Zhenren opened the curtain, he vaguely heard Xu Qing'an's shout. Before he could understand the meaning, he saw the pale face of a woman.
There was a sharp blade on the woman's neck, as if her throat would be slit at any time. The man holding the dagger looked at Mr. Zhang with a ferocious expression.
"If she takes one more step forward, I will kill her."
The woman looked at the crying baby next to her, her eyes full of pleading.
Master Zhang was hesitating.
A clear voice said: "How about you let her go and catch me! Then you can escape, how about it?"
