Chapter 90 It seems we asked the right person!

Looking at the unconscious killers here, Ling Yue said to Bai Yi: "They are all people who want to kill you, you deal with them. Ah Yun, it's a mess here, let's move to another inn."

A Yun nodded and followed her out.

Bai Yi caught up with them: "Miss Ling, there is an Anran Inn here, it is clean and comfortable, you can stay there."

It was quite safe to hear the name, Ling Yue thanked him, and called Lao Wang to come.

Lao Wang was still in shock, and when he heard about changing the inn, his soul immediately stopped, and he hurriedly led the horse to go.

Seeing people from the capital in his hometown, he is still a benefactor, and Bai Yi wanted to repay him for saving him.

"If the two of you don't dislike it, how about treating the two of you to have dinner together after I finish dealing with the matter here? By the way, I will introduce you to the customs of Hongcheng."

Customs?He must be very familiar with this place!
A Yun and Ling Yue's eyes straightened immediately, and they asked at the same time, "Are you from Hongcheng?"

Bai Yi didn't think Hongcheng people were something to be proud of, so he nodded and said, "Yes. It coincides with the anniversary of my father's death, so I asked the emperor for leave to come back."

Ling Yue first expressed his condolences, then looked at him with a smile, that look made Bai Yi panic.

"Master Bai, how old are you this year?"

Bai Yi didn't panic anymore, he was just dumbfounded, what's the meaning of asking age?
Still honestly said: "17 years old."

From Hongcheng, 17 years old, hit both keywords!

Ling Yue and Ah Yun looked at each other, their eyes were shining brightly.

calm down!

Ling Yue stabilized her mind, and said with a smile: "Master Bai, do you look like your parents?"

"Ah?" Bai Yi was even more confused. "I really don't know how to answer this. I say it looks like it, and it doesn't look like it. At first glance, my eyes look like my mother's, and my nose looks like my father's. Neither of them look alike."

What at first glance looked at carefully, Ah Yun became more and more confused the more he listened, and said directly: "Miss wants to ask if you were born by your parents."

Ling Yue tugged on La Ayun's sleeve in embarrassment. This kid was too sincere, so he couldn't be more tactful.

Bai Yi laughed dryly, this question really made him at a loss.

Wiping off his sweat, he cleared his throat: "This... Mom and Dad really didn't mention it. They both passed away, and I can't prove it. I think it should be my own."

Ling Yue was a little disappointed. He didn't mention it before his death, so it was very likely that it was his own.

But there is another way to verify.

With a friendly smile: "Mr. Bai, if you are not abrupt, well, can you roll up your sleeves and let us see your arms?"

Look at the arm?Isn't that intrusive?
Ah Yun didn't understand either, yesterday he was staring at the handsome young man's face, but today he was looking at his arms.

What exactly does Missy want to do?
Ling Yue knew that he had misunderstood, so she whispered to him, and then he suddenly realized.

"Bai Yi, we are looking for someone, but we don't know if you are the one we are looking for. Just let us take a look!"

Anyway, it's not something shameful, Bai Yi hesitated, and rolled up his sleeves.

There are many scars, but they are all knife wounds, not burns.

Ling Yue sighed, and A Yun also sighed.

This made Bai Yi feel like he made a mistake, are they so disappointed?

He put down his sleeves, with a sincere face: "Well, you two, who are you looking for? What are the characteristics? Maybe I can help."

Thinking of the strength of the crowd, Ling Yue said: "Look for a 17-year-old boy with a burn scar on his left arm. He was abducted and sold to Hongfu Township, Hongcheng 12 years ago."

It was only then that Bai Yi realized that if he was looking for someone, he would just tell him straight up, scaring him by talking about it.

He smiled and said: "Anyway, the emperor gave me some leave, tomorrow I will accompany you to Hongfu Township to find someone!"

There is nothing better than a guide!
Ling Yue nodded again and again: "Then you deal with the matter here first, we will wait for you at the Anran Inn."

The next day, the three of them went to Hongfu Township together.

Knocked on more than two dozen doors, but found nothing.

Either the grass grows outside the house, and there is no one in the house; or the outside of the house is clean and tidy, and the people in the house have never heard of the family named Niu.

The more Ling Yue knocked, the more desperate she became, the more desperate she knocked, the red eyes made Ah Yun feel uncomfortable.

"Miss Ling, there is still hope, don't be discouraged! What if there is a clue after going to the next door?" Bai Yi comforted.

The most important thing to find someone is to have a peaceful mind, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch so many assassins.

Ling Yue whispered "um", if it wasn't for this "just in case", she wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from the capital to this poor place.

Bai Yi stood on the path and saw a thatched hut at the end, thinking that they were here anyway, so he ran over and knocked on the door.

An old woman came out, about fifty years old.

He was thin and thin, wearing a faded plain shirt and black trousers.

Looking at them warily: "Who are you?"

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, we want to ask if there was one here 12 years ago."

The old woman was full of impatience, and before he finished speaking, she said, "Is there a five-year-old boy who was brought here 12 years ago with a burn scar on his left arm?"

These words made the three of them look happy, especially Ling Yue, who pulled her arm excitedly: "Auntie, do you really know?"

Now there is hope!

The old woman withdrew her arm in disgust, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know. I only know that there have been several groups of people since the beginning of the month, and everyone is looking for that little boy."

Ling Yue's eyes darkened. She thought she had discovered something new.

After a pause, he asked again: "Auntie, do you know that a family surnamed Niu was revenged and exterminated 11 years ago?"

The old woman was obviously annoyed and gave her a blank look.

Bai Yi pushed her, and quietly handed her a piece of silver.

Ling Yue was taken aback for a moment and understood.

Passed the silver to the old woman: "Auntie, I'm sorry to waste your time, please accept this ingot of silver."

When the old woman saw Yin Zi, her bitter face immediately turned into a smiling face. She not only let them in enthusiastically, but also poured tea herself.

"People in the countryside have nothing to entertain, they only have this rough tea. These fruits are quite sweet, please try it, distinguished guests!"

The smile was extremely ingratiating, almost obsequious.He also secretly turned around and bit the silver with the few remaining teeth of the fruit.

After confirming that it was true, he carefully put it away and smiled more kindly.

Holding the fruit, Ling Yue pursed her lips and smiled, sure enough money can turn ghosts around, so she secretly gave Bai Yi a thumbs up.

"It's human nature." Bai Yi said in a low voice.

Then he said to the old woman: "Auntie, you seem to be a warm-hearted person. If you know something, just say it. A thank you gift is indispensable."

As soon as the old woman heard the thank you gift, the chatterbox opened.

"Many people in Hongfu Village have gone out to pursue their careers, and there are very few left behind, even fewer who have stayed for more than ten years. Of course, I am one of them."

Ling Yue quickly agreed: "It seems that we asked the right person!"

The old woman raised her two wild eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Little girl is so smart! The people who made inquiries before were bossy, I don't want to talk to them, how can you be so sensible!"

Looking far away at the door, he spoke slowly.

"Niuzi has been married for seven or eight years and has never had a child. The couple fights every day because of this matter. If the family was not really poor, they would have taken concubines a long time ago. They were afraid of gossip in the village, so they left Hongfu Village, and they came back within two years. , and brought back a boy. Counting the time, it was exactly 12 years ago."
