Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 113 Inquire
"It really doesn't seem like Mei Shitou has colluded with those people. All the investigated information is here."

Mu Ying looked at the investigation handed over by his subordinates. The investigation of the Mei family's origins was also very simple.

They were just a family fleeing from the north.

"They were able to escape all the way from the border without any loss of population. Even those who were pregnant were able to give birth safely. This family was able to get so much gold and silver from farming and hunting to settle down..."

Judging from all these things, the Mei family is not simple.

Mu Ying held the information in his hand and thought of the family in prison this evening, his eyes changing constantly.

It seems that he was originally ordered by His Majesty to investigate the rebels colluding between Jiangnan and Jiangbei. He had been keeping an eye on Qingyao for a long time, but this time he still failed.

This also led Mu Ying to conclude that there were rebels in Qingyao who were colluding with Jiangbei, and there were quite a few of them.

It's just that his focus seems to be a little skewed in the past two days.

The Mei family suddenly caught his attention. Could it be that those people threw it out to disturb his sight?

Mu Ying weighed it in his mind for a while, then turned his head and said: "These people caught in the sky prison... Let's let them go when we find a chance, except Mei Shitou. Well, find a chance to summon Mei Shitou's family members." , Oh, just the sister who was talking to him~"

Even more exposed, Mei Qian sat on the bed and stared at the cold moonlight outside the window, feeling lost in thought.
The three of them, grandfather and grandson, slept on the same bed, and at this moment, Mei Qian had a vacant bed next to her.

Mrs. Mei didn't know when she got up.

"Old man, if you have time, go and bless the stone. This child is also unlucky..."

Mrs. Mei was walking in the yard while holding the incense she bought at some point, mumbling to herself.

"Milk."

Mei Qian stood at the door of the house and interrupted Mrs. Mei's words. Mrs. Mei opened her eyes and looked at Mei Qian. Seeing that the other person had been staring at the incense in her hand, Mrs. Mei was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Hey, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Can't sleep." Mei Qian moved a stool and placed it at the door of the house. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Mei put the incense in the incense burner in the corner of the yard, then walked to Mei Qian and sat down.

"Nai, do you think the news Uncle Lin told us is true?"

Mei Qian did not mention what happened in prison, but this time she changed the topic to Lin Qin.

"Who knows? Even if it's not true, it's because our status is not up to the level of the news."

Mei Qian also didn't expect that her grandma was well aware of this. It was precisely because of this that Mrs. Mei knew that they had no other options at the moment, so she had to rely on the dead.

"If we don't know the truth, it will be even more troublesome for us to save the elder brother." Mei Qian couldn't help but sigh, "The elder brother said that he didn't know anything, but the people in the Imperial City Division obviously didn't believe it. What on earth is the Imperial City Division investigating? ?”

If the assassin was being investigated, why would he be so stupid to stay where he was?
Is it possible that you want to wait and see?

Thinking of waiting for help, Mei Qian couldn't connect this idiom with the assassin's behavior. So, what made the Imperial City Secretary willing to stay here?

Mei Qian's mood was complicated and uncomfortable for a while. Lin Qin couldn't find any useful information, so she had to look for it herself...

···
Early the next morning, Mrs. Mei, her grandfather, and her grandson had breakfast outside.

Mei Qian specially chose a restaurant that used to specialize in dock business to have breakfast. Today, there were few people in the restaurant. Apart from the three of them, there were only two or three diners in the corner eating breakfast.

"I heard that Qingyao's pier is the busiest with people coming and going. I thought there would be no seats for dinner this morning." When the waiter brought three bowls of noodles, Mei Qian said this specifically.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the waiter and whispered: "Is it because the food in your store is too unpalatable that there is no one here?"

"Oh, little lady, you have wronged our family by what you said. You should try our food first. This is definitely the one."

When the waiter heard what Mei Qian said, why didn't he speak? He said, giving a thumbs up to the bowl in front of Mei Qian. Mei Qian was a little suspicious when she saw this, and asked, "Then why is it so deserted here?"

"The lady is from out of town?"

"Well, I came here with my grandmother to visit relatives."

Mei Qian said and looked at Mrs. Mei. Mrs. Mei also nodded and said, "Yes, I heard from my sister that the pier here is the most lively, with many vendors coming and going. There are quite a few people below the pier on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. I thought I could go shopping at the market, but there was nothing there.”

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence? Something happened on the pier some time ago. Now the pier is closed. I don't know when it will be open again."

Speaking of this, the waiter also looked a little sad: "Our store's business has been delayed a lot because of this."

"Well, what happened? This Qingyao is the largest north-south pier within a hundred miles, so its sudden closure has a huge impact! What happened to cause this big move?"

Mei Qian and the others looked like they didn't know anything and were very curious, but the waiter hesitated to speak.

Waiter:......

His strong desire to share and his reason were pulling at each other.

"Please, waiter, tell us. We are new here and we are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble because of our ignorance."

While Mei Qian was speaking, she also put a small bunch of copper coins into the waiter's hand.

When the waiter saw this, he immediately stopped hesitating, smiled more sincerely, and said, "I heard they were trying to catch an assassin, and an assassin escaped here."

"What dock is closed to catch an assassin?"

Mei Qian appropriately showed a look of disbelief, and the waiter seemed to have guessed what Mei Qian said, so he added: "Yes, who believes it~ But this happened to come from the county government.

However, I have heard from people here that this is not the case at all. "

"Oh?"

Mei Qian and the others pretended to be curious, lowering their voices and looking towards Xiao Er.

"I heard that someone in the imperial court wanted to punish our county master and deliberately did this~"

Mei Qian: 0.0?

Mrs. Mei:...?
Cui Er: =, =?

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, the waiter was a little unconvinced and explained carefully:
"Our magistrate Xue is the best parent officer in Qingyao! We, the adults, took the lead in finding ways to resettle those refugees and other refugees.

We have been in Qingyao for many years thanks to Mr. Xue being here.

It's just that we heard that His Majesty already has officials from many places. Maybe one day our Lord Xue will be replaced for some unfounded reason. "

What the waiter said was sincere, and Mei Qian knew how famous her parents were in the local area.

only--

"This news is really...are you sure it's reliable?"

After Mei Qian asked, the waiter shook his head: "Well, who knows? It's just that everyone thinks so~"

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, a new customer came to the store at this time, and he immediately walked away. Mei Qian and the others continued to eat the noodles, and some of them didn't know how to taste them.

This thing sounds more and more complicated...

Mei Qian: It seems that Chiyu was affected_(：3　∠)_
