Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The smoke cleared, and there were people lying in disorder in the inn.

The yamen servant who arrived first reluctantly took a look inside, thinking that they were all dead bodies, so he dared not enter immediately.

"Is there anyone alive? Anyone still breathing?"

"Yes! Officer, help me!"

Immediately there were successive responses from the inn, and the shopkeeper was the first to crawl out.

In his haste, he tripped over the threshold and smashed his head.

The yamen servant took a step back in disgust, and asked the fellow who came out, "What happened?"

The guy was still in shock, still gasping for breath, he looked out subconsciously, just now he clearly saw the guest go out, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?

Thinking that the other two people who came with the guest were still upstairs, the clerk swallowed hard, and said quickly: "Master, it's these villains... no, no, the Jiangyang robbers are causing trouble, they fight each other, and then I don’t know what smashed it out. It was dazzled, just like what was written in the teahouse storybook! What kind of migratory locusts and iron lotus seeds are thrown everywhere. Look at the door frame, there are still a few hidden weapons stuck in it!"

The servants looked in the direction of the man's finger.

Hey, there really are!

The leader waved his hand, and immediately someone took out a cloth handkerchief, and carefully grabbed the hidden weapon through the cloth, trying to pull it out of the door frame.As a result, the hidden weapon was pierced too deep, and he couldn't move it after a tug. The man had to put his foot against the door frame and pull it out desperately.

The inn boy was speechless, it was terrible.

If this hits a person, wouldn't it become a bone-penetrating nail in the storyteller's mouth?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, dripping with cold sweat.Just now, he and the shopkeeper were both downstairs, and if they were not careful, they would be accidentally injured. It was like walking back and forth in front of the palace of Hades!

"What are you doing in a daze, keep talking!" the leading yamen servant scolded.

The inn clerk nodded hurriedly, and at this time the imperial guards came over on horseback, and the clerk immediately raised his voice and said, "That's the group of people who want to stay in the inn, but there are not enough rooms, and then somehow these people started fighting, waving Throwing hidden weapons. The little one was scared out of his wits, hugged his head and huddled under the wooden cabinet, only to hear a bang, like thunder, and the little one is still buzzing in his ears to this day!"

The people in the Taijing government office did not have too much doubt.

They knew that the Shenhuo Bureau, which made gunpowder and artillery outside the city, would have accidents every one or two years, or three or five people would die. In the most serious one, they heard that half of the place was blown up.

People in Taijing didn't know about these things. They thought it was thunder, or that the Gyeonggi camp was firing cannons.

The yamen servants only heard the gossip, and had never seen that tragic scene with their own eyes, nor had they been on the battlefield. At most, they had only seen a few people injured by firecrackers.They glanced at the inn and saw the people lying here and there, thinking that these people had eaten their own consequences and died together.

"Okay, take the person away..."

"Wait!"

The imperial guards who arrived keenly realized that something was wrong.

The smell of gunpowder smoke was stronger on the street than in the inn, so it was obvious that the explosion happened outside.

"Has anyone been out?"

The inn clerk tossed and turned and could only repeat the storyteller's script, while the inn keeper was dizzy and stared in bewilderment, not knowing what to ask.The people in the inn also hid in their rooms because they were afraid of the officers and soldiers or hated the troublemakers.

"Forget it, take all these people away!" The leader of the guards said impatiently.

"However, in case there are remnants who abscond..."

"Is it you who can hold the gunpowder, or my brothers who can hold back hidden weapons?"

The little leader of the imperial guards left after speaking, leaving a group of yamen servants cursing and moving the unconscious villain in the inn.

"Take them all back and put them in jail!"

"This... the government prison seems to be full!"

The leading yamen servant stared and said: "When it's full, squeeze it, what's the matter? We don't run an inn, and we promise to give them a bed in a Chase bunk? Anyway, we don't care about food, what kind of Jiangyang heroes, heroes, starving for three days Do they still have the strength to make trouble?"

Everyone was obedient, and they went out and forcibly confiscated two carts carrying goods from the shop.

Then people were lifted and thrown into the car, no matter whose feet were pressing down whose head, they were piled up like a pile of corpses.

The inn clerk watched them leave, got up quickly, ran to the back kitchen to check on the other people in the inn, and was urged by them to come back to check on the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's head was bleeding, and he was lying face down.

"This is fatal, where can I find a doctor." Everyone was in a hurry.

"Give way."

The man was startled when he heard the sound, looked up and found that it was the ink carp.

The guy who couldn't help rubbing his eyes was shocked, where was this guy hiding just now?Why did you come down from upstairs again?

At this moment, on the second floor, Lu Min stood by the window and looked around. He couldn't believe that the imperial guards and the people from Taijing government office just left!The previous search in Mudanfang was unambiguous, not to mention the experience that he was hiding in the palace and was almost bombarded by the imperial guards with artillery.

This is impossible!Meng Guoshi and Doctor Mo's martial arts are right, but these people don't know the existence of Guoshi at all, so why did they leave like this?

Lu Min didn't know that he looked like an idiot right now. How could anyone be confused because he wasn't caught?Lu Min not only looked puzzled,

He has a skinny head, old clothes, and no hair on his mouth. He looks like the errands of those merchants.

This is also the reason why the three of Meng Qi only wanted two rooms, and the innkeeper didn't have any doubts.

As a follower, I usually live in the cheapest house. When encountering such a room that is not enough for the owner and the owner is unwilling to spend extra money, you have to feel wronged and sleep on the floor.

As for Meng and Qi, even though they are wearing old clothes, but with their hands stretched out, they are not men who do rough work.

It is very common for businessmen to change into old clothes for fear of being robbed - because of the bamboo hat, the shopkeeper didn't see the faces of these two people.

The second prince was still talking about it, and Meng Qi got tired of hearing it, and he couldn't make a sound when he flicked Lu Min casually.

Lu Min read it for a while before realizing it, and then closed his mouth resentfully.

"You want to know why they are perfunctory, it's very simple, it's not profitable, but it's dangerous." Seeing the stupid look of the second prince, Meng Qi couldn't help but say a few more words.

Master Meng Guo slandered, this kid is so stupid, how did he grow up in the palace?

It's really not easy for the prince of Qi Dynasty!

"If nothing happens on weekdays, stones can squeeze out oil. Now that the shopkeeper is injured and the capital is in a mess, they don't even care about it. The city gate is closed, and they will run away if they want to make a fortune. no..."

Meng Qi paused, and said to himself, "However, the response of the imperial guards is rather strange."

Thunderbolt Hall's Lei Zhenzi was something that was explicitly prohibited by the imperial court, and it caught up with a major rebellion. It was really unexpected that the imperial guards let it go lightly.

No matter how smart Meng Qi was, he never thought that the problem was Nanzhen Fusi.

Jin Yiwei and the imperial guards directly fought, and the imperial guards who had been hunting in the city were transferred back one after another. This team of imperial guards also rushed over when they heard the explosion on the way to Nanzhen Fusi.

"I guess something happened." Meng Qi picked up Lu Min and flipped out the window lightly.

This inn is unacceptable.

Go outside and wait for the doctor.

Let's say that Mo Li looked at the shopkeeper's wound, and immediately asked him to find a clean cloth to bandage it. It's not serious, but he just needs to rest, and it's best not to get up for the next month.In case of dizziness, or any sequelae.

The woman was very grateful, and asked the man to withdraw the money.

Mo Li had no choice but to decline. In fact, this matter was a disaster for no reason, and the innkeeper was just as unlucky.

"If there is no husband today, I don't know how many things will happen and how many people will die." The shopkeeper's wife kept wiping her tears.

At this time, people came out one after another from the second floor of the inn.

Seeing Mo Li's appearance, most people also feel that this doctor is not a villain.

Whether it is a Jiangyang thief or a young knight-errant, it is rare for anyone who fights in an inn or restaurant to remember to pay the money.

Nothing was damaged in the inn this time, and no one was injured. Those who have been traveling all year round naturally know how lucky they are.

So they came over to thank each other.

Mo carp was a little surprised.

He had thought that these people would stay hidden in the room until he left and didn't show up.

It is human nature to avoid disasters.

"Mister, because Xiaosheng brought his family, he really didn't dare to offend those villains. This..."

A scholar took the first step and saluted with fists in shame.

Followed by several businessmen, they all looked ashamed and curious about the identity of the ink carp.

"Where are you from, sir, and why are you staying in Taijing?" An old man cupped his hands and said, "I'm old and not talented, although I'm not from Taijing, but I run a small car dealership in Qingzhou, and I have some connections in Taijing. I know some people from all walks of life in the market. If you have any difficulties, this old man will definitely help you."

Two days before the change, Mo Li might have to ask the old man where there is a craftsman who makes silver needles, but now it is useless.

Mo Li politely declined the kindness of these people, and when he was about to go out, the old man suddenly followed and said in a low voice: "The capital is not peaceful now, and this old man knows that there are several empty houses near the Yiguang Gate in the inner city. The owners of the mansion are all working as officials in other places. If you really have nowhere to go and you have good skills, you might as well rest there temporarily so as to avoid the officers and soldiers."

Mo Li was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help looking at the old man.

The old man bowed his head in shame and said: "Because I knew a few gentlemen on Liangshang, I made an idea there. Now it's not a festival, and it's not a day for officials from other places to go to Beijing to report their duties. Those places should be very safe."

Mo carp is not worried that this is a trap.

In other words, unless the [-] troops from northern Xinjiang come together, there will be no traps.

——If the ground is filled with gunpowder, Meng Qi cannot be hidden.

The old man's tone was sincere and his expression was sincere, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Thank you, old man."

Mo Li thanked him. After he left, the inn clerk suddenly felt that there was something heavy in his pocket. When he opened it, he was stunned. Why were there dozens of copper coins?

Meng Qi waited for a long time at the end of the alley before he saw the ink carp coming out.

"Why, the shopkeeper is seriously injured?"

Meng Qi lightly kicked Lu Min who was squatting in a daze, and the latter stood up dejectedly.

——I had to hide and hide again. I didn’t even eat a bite of food. I only had two pieces of plum cake to fill my stomach. The money in the inn was wasted.

As soon as Mo Li mentioned the old man's suggestion, Meng Qi immediately nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea, by the way, last night I saw an empty general's mansion near Yiguangmen, with few servants inside, and it was pitch-black. There are no lanterns, but there are rockeries and lotus ponds in the backyard... let's go to that house!"

The author has something to say:

The national teacher passed by the dark general's mansion on a moonlit night.

Liu Dan, the owner of the General's Mansion who came back the next day:? ? ? ?
