Zhenlong Gluttonous Feast

Chapter 188 Hometown

No matter how tortured he was to extract a confession, he would not give a single cent of where the stolen goods were hidden, so I thought, Zhao Huilin should go back to the inn to search again next step.

At this moment, Yifen's body was already limply on the ground, and the place where he was tortured was covered with bloodstains.

Zhao Huilin stood up with one hand on the desk, looking into the crowd.

He raised his voice, "Proclaim the king's will, and pass it on to the shopkeeper of Fengyuan Inn."

The people in the hall looked at the outside of the yamen in unison, and saw the somewhat crooked figure from near to far.

When the man passed by us, his footsteps were still slightly stagnant, and he woke up like a dream when he was urged by the yamen servant.

I touched my cheek subconsciously, the makeup is still intact, it should still be the same after the disguise.

The shopkeeper knelt down in the hall with a thud, and kowtowed to Zhao Huilin repeatedly in fear.

Zhao Huilin waved his hands and said impatiently, "That's all, my king invited you here because I want to ask you something."

The man hastily replied, "Your lord, just ask, but the little ones will answer you all!"

"Well, my lord asks you, what was different about the night when the crime happened?"

"This... because it's the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, the guest officials in the store all came back later than usual."

"Nonsense! This king didn't ask you this!"

The man flinched reflexively, looking frightened.

"This king wants to know if anyone saw someone going out or coming in in the middle of the night, and if so, how did he do it? Did that person bring the stolen goods with him?"

"This……"

I couldn't help but rolled my eyes at the sky.

If it were really that simple, it wouldn't be an unsolved case.

The shopkeeper's face showed embarrassment, obviously he didn't know how to answer.

I don't know if he realized that what he said was inappropriate, Zhao Yulin continued to ask, "Well, I will ask you again, did the suspect notice any changes in your inn, and did anyone else live with him? "

Now, I finally got to the point.

At the same time, I felt Ruan Xiangrong's hand pat on the back of my head and forcefully buried it.

I couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "Hey, what are you doing..."

He scolded, "Don't you understand? If you sell it to that guy, you and I may be the ones who will be punished." Then, he began to lament some sentences like "it's too unbeautiful".

I smiled helplessly, and Fang was about to answer, when I suddenly felt that a piece of clothing that was relatively close to me suddenly disappeared from my sight.

Looking at the man's movements in amazement, step by step drifting away from us, Ruan Xiangrong was also extremely surprised.

And in the hall, the shopkeeper happened to be turning his head back, and before he could point out the exact direction with his raised finger, he was suddenly interrupted by the scene in front of him.

Not long after, a beautiful woman stood in the center of the lobby, causing the crowd to chatter and whisper.

The moment he saw Fan Meizhu clearly, Zhao Huilin opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost fell off.

Lian Yifen hurriedly turned around, obviously showing a side face of extreme surprise.

Fan Meizhui said righteously, "Yifen is our family's slave."

Now, things should not be over.

From the time Zhao Huilin announced his withdrawal from the class with a panicked face, the noisy human voices stopped again.

If this matter were to spread to the world, it would be a huge scandal.

Zhao Huilin would not fail to understand this, but the situation at that time was out of his control.

In the evening, Zhao Huilin secretly sent someone to summon Fan Meizhu to eat at his place. Fan Meizhu went and didn't come back until late at night.

When everyone asked about it, Fan Meizhu just shook her head with a tired look on her face.

When all the people were gone, Fan Meizhui turned her head and said to me with a wry smile, "I don't know where that person got such a bad idea. He would only let us go if our family obeyed him. He also threatened us with this." If it is true, our family will not be able to escape the responsibility.”

After listening to it, I was also slightly surprised.

This is completely different from Zhao Huilin's usual behavior, and it really doesn't resemble his way of doing things.Although the guy has no brains, most of the time he is quite honest.I am afraid that only when he is encouraged by others will he do drastic things, such as the sudden idea of ​​punishment for Yifen in the lobby today.

So I asked, "And then, what do you do?"

"How could our family take advantage of him so easily, let alone..."

I couldn't help laughing, "Because it's him, so I'm very reluctant."

Fan Meizhu didn't speak, but it seemed that she acquiesced.

Can't help but sigh, "How can that kind of guy tolerate this kind of thing, being rejected by the same person over and over again."

"Yes, exactly."

"what?"

It appears that something has happened.

Fan Meizhuo said calmly, "He has ordered that Yifen be escorted back to the capital overnight to wait for his release."

Things turned around suddenly, and I didn't know how to respond to Fan Meizhuo's increasingly silent appearance.

After a while, I tried to relax as much as possible, "Then, let's go to the capital."

"What...what." Fan Meizhu's upturned face was filled with astonishment.

"Go to the capital. I happen to be there, and there are many unfinished things."

On the way to the capital, I unconsciously figured out one thing.

From Fan Meizhu's point of view, Zhao Huilin has probably been classified as a hopeless type of abuse of private power, but gradually I don't just think so.

From my point of view, Zhao Huilin has been thinking a lot this time.

What happened that day in the hall of the official yamen in front of the public, has caused a lot of trouble in the city, if the judgment is not made in time, it may be difficult to convince the public, if it spreads out, it will intensify, and it will be out of control at that time.

Now, it seems that Yifen has been taken to the capital, but in fact, he can get a chance.

It's just that these things can't be said and heard with Fan Mei for the time being, it's better to prepare for the worst right now.

It was not until I arrived in the capital that I began to doubt whether this decision was correct.

Among the five people in our company, most of them had different expressions and different thoughts. Obviously, the capital city is not a very good place for everyone.

Staying in a remote inn near the outskirts of the city overnight, I always need to go out alone to find out the news.

Unexpectedly, when I proposed, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one was willing to take the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Seeing that no one responded, Fu Liao took a step before he was about to speak, but I calmly rushed in front of him and said, "Since no one is willing, I should go in person."

"Hey?!" There was a neat exclamation.

I laughed, "Do you need to be so surprised?"

"But, but." He Ling moved to me, bowed his head for a long time, and finally whispered, "This is really not something an adult would do..."

"That's nothing to worry about. It's better than letting some people worry about it." After saying this, he glanced at Fu Leo meaningfully.

Immediately, his color changed drastically, and he lowered his head hastily.

Except for He Ling who couldn't quite understand, the other two looked at Fu with great sympathy.

He Ling's eyes widened and he asked in puzzlement, "My lord, what are you talking about?"

Suddenly pursed the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "I am joking."

He Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and complained softly, "My lord, you really scared me."

She patted his shoulder reassuringly, her gaze casually flicked to his back.

The eyes of the eccentric two people were clearly full of doubts, as if "only ghosts would believe you".

Coughing in embarrassment, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never play around in front of these two people again.

After leaving the inn, I was about to dive into the boundless night.

I jumped up and shuttled endlessly through the vast undergrowth.

At this time, I can only hear my clear heartbeat, but my mind becomes clearer because of it.

I didn't stop until I entered the market area.

At this time, the street was empty, and the sound of the gong in the hands of the watchman was heard in the distance.

I took a deep breath and looked up at the gilded plaque on the mansion in front of me.

The words "Shangguan Mansion" are shining brightly, even in the middle of the night, they occasionally emit a dazzling golden light.
