Chapter 1447 Ghost town? (one more)
Yang Ruoqing and his party have already traveled a long way after ten days and a half months of trekking.

After passing through Qing'an County and exiting Changhuaizhou, it is estimated that half of the journey to Beijing has been completed.

At this moment, it was time to light the lights, and their three carriages finally arrived at a small town ahead.

"The last time we went back to the capital, we also settled in this small town, but the last time it was broad daylight, we left after a midday meal."

"Looks like we have to stay here tonight, eat a good meal, sleep well, and leave tomorrow morning!"

Yang Ruoqing said to Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang.

Yang Huazhong nodded: "It's okay, as long as there is a tile on top of the head to shelter from the wind and rain, we are going out, so everything will be easier."

Yang Ruoqing nodded with a smile.

Because it has entered late autumn, the closer it is to the north, the colder it seems.

Especially at night, there are hardly many pedestrians on the streets of the town.

Although there are scattered shops on both sides of the road with lights shining out, but compared with the darkness of the whole town, this weak light can be ignored.

"Am I overthinking or what? Last time I came back, I thought this town was quite lively. Why does it feel eerie and filled with people?"

Xiao Yaxue walked beside Yang Ruoqing, folded her arms, and looked around while walking.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Can day and night be compared? Don't scare yourself, we have so many people, what are we afraid of?"

What's more, there is the wolf king Zhuiyun escorting him!

Xiao Yaxue continued: "Why do I feel that this town is a bit evil! Could it be that we entered a ghost town?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head directly: "There is no such thing as a ghost town, the real troublemakers are people."

"Anyway, we just need to be more careful, after all, it's a foreign land."

The sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling over the bluestone floor was exceptionally clear.

Originally, Luo Fengtang led the crowd straight to the inn where they ate last time, but when they got closer, they found that the inn was dark and the door was sealed.

"Seized?" He was surprised.

"Let's change house again, I remember there should be an inn on the corner of the street ahead." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Ok!"

Everyone then walked forward, and at the corner of the street ahead, there was indeed a light shining from an inn.

When everyone saw the light, it was like seeing a lighthouse on the dark sea.

They didn't find any supplies all day long, so they all accelerated their pace and entered the inn.

The inn was not closed yet, but the business was a little cold. In the lobby, there were only two tables with three or five people eating in silence.

A man dressed as a shopkeeper stood behind the counter flipping through the ledgers.

Hearing the noise, he hurried out from behind the counter to say hello.

"Several guest officials, may I ask if you want to play the top or stay in the hotel?" He asked.

Luo Fengtang told him that he wanted three guest rooms and prepared another table of meals.

The shopkeeper ordered a waiter next to him to go down to prepare, while he personally led Luo Fengtang and his party to a table and sat down to make tea.

"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something." Yang Ruoqing said to the shopkeeper after sitting down.

"Guest officer, please tell me."

The shopkeeper said enthusiastically, the business has been terribly slow these days.

He finally got a big deal tonight. He was so happy that he had to wait on it carefully.

Yang Ruoqing asked: "When I came here earlier, I saw a restaurant over there with a seal. What's the matter?"

When asked about this, the shopkeeper's expression changed.

He looked around and said in a low voice, "It's too miserable!"

"Let's hear it!" Yang Ruoqing said.

She still remembered going to that restaurant for dinner last time. The restaurant was small, but the shopkeeper inside was very kind.

Although they just ate a meal, they left a good impression on each other.

That's why Yang Ruoqing asked more questions.

At this time, the shopkeeper in front of him also sat down, and said to everyone: "The shopkeeper of that house is actually a distant cousin of mine. His wife left early, so he left him a daughter, who is still blind."

"My cousin didn't go there all his life, he supported the restaurant and supported him and his daughter."

"But last month, a local bully went to his restaurant for dinner and fell in love with my poor niece."

"If you want to force her to be a concubine, my cousin will definitely not agree."

"That bully took advantage of my niece's sleep at night, went in through the window and ruined a good little girl!"

"My niece has a strong personality, she committed suicide that night."

"My cousin went to the government to sue, but that bully has power and power, and he is in collusion with the government."

"My cousin got a board and was kicked back."

"Let's all go to persuade him to bow his head and let it go, it can't be done!"

"My cousin was still angry. Just three days ago, he took a knife and rushed to the bully's house, intending to die with the bully."

"Chopped the bully's arm, but didn't kill him, but my cousin was arrested by the government and put into prison."

"I heard that the sentence has been pronounced, and it will be executed in Washikou three days later."

"His family's restaurant has also been seized. Our relatives in this family have all been warned by the bully, and no one dares to make trouble."

"In the past few days, at night, the big guys dare not go to the streets, let alone go to Washikou. Hey, what a pity!"

After the shopkeeper sighed for a while, he went to the backyard to get busy with the dishes.

Here, Yang Ruoqing and the others frowned.

Xiao Yaxue said: "No wonder since I entered this small town, there are no people along the way. It turns out that such an unjust case happened. It's too abominable!"

Yang Huazhong said: "The shopkeeper father and daughter are so pitiful."

"For this kind of thing, any father would use a knife to fight desperately!"

Blacksmith Luo sighed: "Why are there bullies everywhere? What kind of world is this?"

Luo Fengtang frowned: "I still remember that shopkeeper, he treated us very well last time."

"We only had one meal, and he even fed our horses for free."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "If you were another shopkeeper with a slightly crooked conscience, you wouldn't be able to kill a customer like us with a foreign accent?"

"The prices of their dishes are reasonable, and the portions are generous. It seems that they are kind-hearted people."

"And the girl who was blind that day is also pitiful. If I remember correctly, she seems to be a year younger than me?" She asked.

Xiao Yaxue nodded, "The last time we talked to her, she seemed to be one year younger than you."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Poor child!"

Just as everyone was discussing these things, there was a commotion at the entrance of the inn.

Before anyone entered the inn, the arrogant voice came in first.

"The shopkeeper, is the shopkeeper here?"

Yang Ruoqing followed the prestige, and saw a fat young man with his eyes squeezed into slits coming in from outside with his shoulders crossed.
