Chapter 279: Things Are Progressing
Lu Ming felt that his mood tonight was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs, fluctuations were too great, and there was not even a moment to calm down.
"Envoy Mu, now, what should I do? Xiaguan promised that Xiaguan would find the traces of Fusang people as soon as possible, but Xiaguan still wanted to ask for advice, where should Xiaguan start? ”
Looking at Lu Ming, who had a very frightened expression, Mu Xiaojiu shook his head gently, this Lu Ming is really a little too timid, although he is very angry, but he will not do anything to him, is he so afraid?
However, thinking about it, Mu Xiaojiu still said: "I don't have any good ideas now, but I have another idea, you can verify it." ”
As soon as Lu Ming heard this, he immediately nodded busily, "Envoy Mu, please speak." ”
Mu Xiaojiu was a little helpless, and then said: "In the past two days, the whole city has been under martial law every night, but I was still ambushed on the official road, so there are two possibilities, you go and ask the city guards first, if there is a team of more than a dozen people out of the city tonight." ”
Lu Ming was cautious, and it was destined that he would not be a fool. In fact, he was able to gather important people in the city to discuss the problem as soon as he discovered it, and then put the news down for the time being, and imposed martial law every night, all of which proved that Lu Ming was not only stupid, but also a little clever.
To be honest, I couldn't find those Fusang people, it was probably just because Lu Ming couldn't turn the corner for a while.
The guard who had taken Mu Xiaojiu to find Lu Ming had been following the two of them, so before Lu Ming could ask, the guard suddenly realized, "By the way, someone went out of the city tonight, it was the people from the Jinhua Restaurant in the city, there were almost twenty or thirty people in total, pulling two carts, going out of the city to the manor outside the city to deliver wine." ”
Mu Xiaojiu sneered, "Then how long have these people been gone?" Are you back? ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he say, "They have probably been gone for two hours, and they have not yet returned, saying that they are likely to stay at the manor tonight and not come back." After finishing speaking, the guard looked at Lu Ming with begging eyes, "My lord, we have complied with martial law, and the owners of Jinhua Restaurant are all acquaintances, and everyone often goes to drink, so I didn't think he would actually ......."
Mu Xiaojiu turned his head to look at Lu Ming, "Master Lu, do you still need me to teach you what to do?" ”
Lu Ming didn't blame the guard, but ordered angrily: "Go, call me three more teams of guards, two teams of people go to Jinhua Restaurant, surround the restaurant for me, and seal it up!" The other two teams will go to Jinhua Restaurant's manor outside the city now, and you will go with you. Lu Ming looked at the guard, "If you find that there are fewer people in their wine delivery team, I will immediately arrest all of them." ”
The guard received the order and hurriedly followed the group of twenty soldiers away.
Mu Xiaojiu nodded and praised "Lord Lu, it's a very smart approach." ”
Lu Ming smiled bitterly, "Envoy Mu, don't bury the small ones, I didn't even find out that these Fusang people had mixed into the city, it was really a dereliction of duty." ”
But Mu Xiaojiu didn't think that he was angry and blamed Lu Ming's head, "Lord Lu, you can't be blamed for this matter, your response is actually very correct, but those Fusang people must have already had contact with that Jinhua restaurant in advance, so they can mix in the team of the restaurant and sneak into the city during the day." The Fusang people were not much different from the Central Plains people in terms of appearance, so it was naturally difficult for the guards to distinguish them. After entering the city, these Fuso people can play a game under the lights."
When Lu Ming heard this, he suddenly slapped his forehead, "I understand, Envoy Mu." ”
Mu Xiaojiu was stunned when he heard this: "What do you understand?" ”
Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said: "I suddenly remembered that the proprietress of Jinhua Restaurant has half Fusang blood, and she grew up in Fusang since she was a child. ”
……
"Tell me about the boss, why do you do this?" Lu Ming looked at the woman kneeling on the ground in front of him, and there was no lack of regret in his words, how could a beautiful girl collude with the Fusang people?
However, the proprietress of Jinhua Restaurant did not answer, but kept looking down at the floor without saying a word.
Mu Xiaojiu gently patted Lu Ming's shoulder, signaling him not to speak yet, and then, Lu Ming saw Mu Xiaojiu walking in front of the boss lady, raising his hand to hook the boss lady's chin.
"Your Excellency...... It can't be that you want to see it. The corners of Lu Ming's eyes twitched.
At this moment, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly opened his mouth, "Well, it's really beautiful, but it's useless." Tell me about your real goals. ”
Lu Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and he only remembered at this moment that Mu Xiaojiu seemed to vaguely reveal one thing before, that is, the target of these Fusang people was not Mu Xiaojiu, but someone else.
Damn it! How did I forget about this?
The proprietress was also taken aback by Mu Xiaojiu, and even subconsciously glanced up at Mu Xiaojiu, and then quickly lowered her head again.
Mu Xiaojiu smiled silently, "Don't say it, don't say it, Lord Lu, you go to gather all the important people in the city and protect them, I want to see if the assassination ability of these Fusang people is really that strong." Remember, don't leave those people alone in the room, and send someone to protect them. ”
When Lu Ming heard this, he hurriedly said to the subordinates next to him: "Why are you still stunned?" Why don't you go soon? If something happens, come to me with your head up! ”
Mu Xiaojiu didn't care about Lu Ming's arrangement, but still looked at the proprietress "Now, tell me, where did you hide my senior sister and my classmates?" If not, this delicate and flawless face may not be so perfect. And I've heard that ten fingers are connected to the heart, but I haven't tried it before, so maybe I have a chance to try it today. ”
The proprietress raised her head suddenly, but there was no fear in her eyes, but she said with some schadenfreude: "Don't worry, your two classmates are alive and well, but do you know why the two of them have survived until now?" Any idea why we'll know you're going down tonight? ”
Mu Xiaojiu looked at the boss lady like this, and immediately reacted, and also knew what the boss lady was planning. Immediately, he said directly: "Because the two of them betrayed me, right, and the person who betrayed me is Senior Sister Huang Rong, who is more important to me, right." ”
The proprietress was stunned, how did he know?
Mu Xiaojiu smiled, and suddenly raised his hand and pinched the throat of the proprietress, "Don't play tricks in front of me, now, tell me where my senior sister and fellow disciples are, otherwise I don't mind using a trick." ”
"You use it, you use it!" The proprietress suddenly roared hysterically.
Mu Xiaojiu was frightened by the proprietress for a moment, then suddenly became silent, turned his head to Lu Ming and said, "Lord Lu, this woman is handed over to me, don't you mind." ”
Lu Ming's heart trembled, yes, this wooden envoy seemed to really have an idea. However, he solved the case, and he found the person, the most important thing is that he is still older than himself, what reason does Lu Ming have to disagree?
Therefore, Lu Ming nodded directly, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, "Master Mu is free, do you want to send two people to take care of you for you?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu looked at Lu Ming like that, how could he not know what Lu Ming was thinking? But at this moment, he was thinking about the safety of Huang Rong and Pan Li, how could he explain to Lu Ming? Therefore, Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, "No need, you guys go and do something else, this restaurant is directly sealed, and everyone is escorted away, one by one." ”
Lu Ming answered "yes", and then left directly with someone.
Mu Xiaojiu dragged the rope tied to the proprietress with his hand, dragged her to the back kitchen, and then closed the door directly, "Lin Yuzi, let's say, is there something hidden?" ”
The proprietress Lin Yuzi was directly asked by Mu Xiaojiu's words, and she lost control.
……
"Lord Lu." When Lu Ming saw Mu Xiaojiu again, Mu Xiaojiu was followed by three people, namely Huang Rong, Pan Li, and Lin Yuzi, the proprietress of Jinhua Restaurant.
"Lord Lu, don't you know that Lord Castle Guard is still alive?" Mu Xiaojiu asked.
Lu Ming shook his head, and then nodded again, "When my men went to the City Guard Mansion, the City Guard Lord was already in danger, and his right arm was also shot by the assassin's hidden weapon, but fortunately, my people arrived in time to temporarily suppress the poison for the City Guard Lord and drive away the assassin." At this time, the castle keeper is being treated. ”
"That's ......" Mu Xiaojiu thoughtfully touched his chin with his hand, "Mu Yu, tell Master Lu what you just told me." ”
Lu Ming was thinking about who Mu Yu was, when he saw Lin Yuzi take a step forward, "Yes, Childe." ”
Ha? Lu Ming's jaw was about to fall off, what was the situation? The wooden envoy is poisonous, he slept with someone else's girl once, and the girl directly became his subordinate? Also Nima changed her name?
Lu Ming felt that his entire personality had collapsed.
Lin Yuzi, that is, Mu Yu, opened his mouth and said: "There are no Fusang people in the restaurant, I am only responsible for bringing them into the city and taking them out of the city, other than that, I have no contact with these Fusang people, they all find a place to settle down after they enter the city." These people live in uncertain places and their whereabouts are strange, and it is difficult to find them. Yamanaka Wind is one of the small leaders, there are ten such small leaders, led by a team leader, named Yanagi Yinliu, who is a member of the Yanagi family. ”
Although Lu Ming felt that the scene in front of him was very weird, the news revealed by Mu Yu made him look shocked.
"I've also heard a little about the Yanagi family, which is regarded as the emperor's encircled army, guarding generations of emperors, and after the great loss of the power of the godless palace, it seems to be the number one force in Fuso today." As he spoke, Lu Ming suddenly felt a little strange, "But why did these people kill Lord City Guard?" ”
