Chapter 1621 Midnight "Visitor"
Chapter 1621 Midnight "Visitor"
The bailiff of Laishui County Government was yawning when a fast horse stopped in front of the gate and a little fat man came.
Not to mention, the aura is very strong.
The yamen runner looked at him for a few times, then came over and asked, "Who are you? You are not allowed to stay in front of the yamen."
Yinding did not dismount, holding the reins, he sneered: "Isn't the county government a place for the people to make decisions? If you are not allowed to stay at will, how can you make decisions?"
The bailiff was stunned and looked him over: "What on earth do you do?"
Yinding sneered: "Call your masters out!"
The guard's face darkened: "Who are you? How dare you be so bold..."
Yinding kicked him on the shoulder and kicked him a few meters away: "I am the leader of the constables under the governor Cao. I am here to investigate the affairs under the order of the governor. How dare you block me? What is your intention?"
The yamen runner was kicked down, and the noise was heard by the people inside. When they saw this, they were about to shout and draw their swords, but suddenly they heard the silver ingot saying that it came from the governor's mansion, so they stopped quickly.
"You are……"
Yinding took out his badge and shook it. His badge was not from the Governor's Office, but they were all the same.
"Hurry up and get your adults out to see me!"
County Magistrate Sun was with the accountant, figuring out how to make up for the deficit.
Suddenly, a bailiff came to report that someone from the governor's mansion had come, which frightened him.
Could it be that the higher-ups knew about his corruption and embezzlement?
He came out to see the silver ingot with trepidation.
When Yinding saw him, he dismounted, but he did not greet him. "The governor asked me to ask you, how is the investigation of the murder case at Hulu Mountain Pass going?"
Magistrate Sun was completely confused: "Hulu Pass? Your humble servant... Your humble servant has not received any report, no, I haven't heard of it."
The bailiffs looked at each other and said they had not heard of it.
"No one came to report the crime?"
"No, no, definitely not."
Yinding thought about it and knew what was going on. It was probably that Manager Li was lying and he never reported it to the police.
Thinking of this, Yinding no longer paid any attention to County Magistrate Sun, mounted his horse and left.
Magistrate Sun was left behind with a group of yamen runners, looking at each other, all of them confused.
Yinding ran all the way to the inn. When passing by Sun Damao's camp, he stopped to inquire about the situation.
"Nothing unusual," Sun Damao said, "Except for the passers-by, there was nothing else. They were all ordinary people, and there were no martial artists."
"How's it going? What do you need us to do?"
Sun Damao saw it all, and Li Zaibiao was out doing something. He was so jealous that he also wanted to help and didn't want to just wait here.
Yinding patted his shoulder and said, "Listen, Prince and Princess. You are the strongest backing and the most secretive force. You are the retreat route for Prince and Princess. Only when you are safe can we be protected."
Just a few words made Sun Damao and others excited and they nodded repeatedly to guarantee.
Yinding mounted his horse and left, a sly smile flashing in his eyes: It was not in vain that I learned from the abbot, this kind of thing, doing ideological work for people, is quite important.
When he returned to the inn, he met a few waiters on the way. He pretended nothing had happened and walked into the yard.
Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were both there.
"Your Highness, Princess, I went to Laishui County Government Office and met with the county officials and servants there. According to them, they did not receive any reports of the case at all."
Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly: "No?"
"Yes," Yinding said firmly, "I can't be wrong. Besides, when I came back just now, I saw a few guys. I always felt that they had noticed us."
Silver ingots have always been sharp and will never be wrong.
Yan Ruyu put down her pen, having already been prepared for this: "It's only a matter of time. If this matter is related to them, then we have to confront them. Fortunately, we are already prepared."
Huo Changhe nodded: "Follow the princess's instructions and use calmness to control movement."
He nodded to Bage's head: "Xiaolan is our liaison now."
Yinding's eyes lit up: "Liaison officer, this is a good name."
As it got darker, lights were lit in the courtyard again.
Yan Ruyu glanced out the window and said, "Yinding, go and tell the waiter to bring our food to the yard."
"Yes."
Huo Changhe smiled and said, "We have to give them a chance."
At this time, behind the counter in the inn lobby.
Li Sugui acted calmly and sat down to check the menu.
Li Wanglin turned his back to the guests, his face unable to hide his worry: "Father, you don't have to stay here, I'll be fine here."
Li Sugui glanced at the front hall and said, "No, this is an extraordinary period. If I'm not here, someone with ulterior motives might notice and become suspicious."
"But……"
Li Sugui patted his arm lightly: "It's okay, don't worry."
Li Wanglin sighed softly: "I'm sorry, father, it's all my fault."
Li Sugui handed him a piece of candied fruit and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't be upset. Nothing will happen. Don't worry. I have seen everything."
Li Wanglin sipped the candied fruit, forced a smile and nodded.
A waiter came over, and Li Wanglin turned around: "Fourth Uncle."
Li Si nodded, his eyes alert, and whispered: "Boss, the people in that yard told us to deliver the food, they won't come to eat."
Li Wanglin was slightly surprised: "Could it be that they noticed something?"
Li Sugui waved his hand: "Don't panic, don't scare yourself."
The front hall was filled with noise, and their side seemed like a small world, isolating themselves from all other sounds.
"There is a formation where the corpse is placed. It will automatically open at night and will be lifted when the time comes. We also have people secretly watching during the day, so no one will approach. We are not afraid if someone approaches at night."
"Wait one more night. Someone will come tomorrow to pray for the soul. Then we can take the body away and nothing will happen again."
Li Sugui pondered for a moment and said, "So, as long as we get through tonight, nothing will happen."
He looked at Li Si, who understood and nodded, "I understand."
The food was delivered quickly.
Yan Ruyu touched it first, and everything else was fine, but as soon as she touched the pot of soup in the middle, a space warning sounded.
"Don't drink this soup."
Yinding's eyes widened: "Poison? Damn it, they actually dared to poison us!"
"It's not poison, it's probably a drug or something like that," Yan Ruyu looked at the space alarm, "Maybe they don't want us to investigate any more."
Huo Changhe frowned: "Do you know that we went to see the corpse?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head slowly: "It's hard to say, anyway, the feeling this place gives me is not that simple."
“Perhaps, there are more secrets that we don’t know.”
"Your Highness, think about it. The cave seemed to have been abandoned last night. We put so much effort into it, but it was suddenly abandoned again. Why?"
"They also drugged Master Sima. Why?"
“There are no answers to these questions yet.”
Huo Changhe looked at the bowl of soup and chuckled, "Don't worry, we'll have the answer tonight."
After the meal, a waiter took away the tableware and reminded them before leaving that it was best not to go out unless necessary.
Not long after, a shadow flew out of the yard.
In less than a quarter of an hour, it flew back.
