Chapter 200

The moon is late, the night is as cool as water

The entire inn was extremely empty, with the doors and windows wide open, and the icy cold wind drove in directly.

Ling Yu quickly brought back the nearby guards, and Rong Zheng told the whole story with a sullen face.

The leader, the dark blue official uniform, held the sword directly, and detained the trembling shopkeeper back, and the corpses on the table were also carried out by the servants behind him.

It was getting late, and further investigation would be a big fanfare, bringing fear to the surrounding residents, so they simply held off for a day, and then thoroughly investigated the case at dawn the next day.

Because of the murder, a large white seal was posted on the dilapidated gate outside the inn overnight.

In order to protect the scene, the Yamen officials sent away the other surviving residents in the inn.

Rong Zheng never imagined in his dreams that his dignified royal relatives would end up living on the streets one day.

A group of people trembled and reluctantly came out of the inn.

Although the inn is a bit dilapidated, and the guest rooms on the second floor are still cool, but at least the walls are high, the roof is painted, and it can keep out the wind and rain, which is better than the northwest wind they are blowing now...

"Ah Choo..." Yun Shu sneezed loudly, hugging her shoulders tightly for warmth.

"What immoral thing did you do!" Yun Shu grumbled, glaring at the people beside her with dissatisfaction.

Originally, they could get a carriage, but now the carriage has been given over to the frail Ling Wei.

The farce at night didn't take care of the meal, and now thanks to someone, he still has to live in the wilderness, without a village in front of him or a store in his back, he really became a ghost of freezing to death.

"I...I don't know either." Rong Zheng scratched his head guiltily.

It is always right to report a homicide to the official, and it is also true that the yamen servant sealed off the scene after reporting to the official, so... Then what is the problem, the man can't figure it out.

"What about your jade pendant, why didn't you just take it out just now?" Yun Shu was talking about Rong Zheng's jade plaque engraved with the word "Yan".

She didn't believe it. If the man's brand was shown, those people dare not buy Yan Wang's face, at least they have to leave a guest room for them, as if they don't know who is better now...

"What brand?" Rong Zheng was taken aback, but didn't immediately reflect what the woman said.

"It's the signboard of your Prince Yan's Mansion." Yun Shu said bluntly, once their identities were revealed, could they still be reduced to this point.

"Then... isn't that signboard given to Zhuyou?" Rong Zheng thought for a while, then lowered his voice and moved closer to the woman's ear.

Wasn't it a barter for Suzaku Trading Company? Where did this brand come from...

"You didn't take it back?" Yun Shu was very surprised, and looked at the man in disbelief.

This jade token was Rong Zheng's personal possession, and the barter that night was just an expedient measure to alleviate it. She thought that after the incident was over, the man would immediately ask Zhuyou to return the jade pendant.

"I... forgot." Rong Zheng was a little ashamed.

This matter...he...really forgot, and went directly to visit Jiang Luan the next day, who still remembers the jade pendant that was exchanged.

"Okay..." Yun Shu smiled wryly,
"Then what do we do now?"

Could it be that the sky is resting on the ground and the ground is the back, staying overnight in the wilderness?
Oh... no, her heart refused.

"Why don't you find... find a place where you can avoid the heat for the night?" Rong Zheng kindly suggested.

"Okay..." Yun Shu could only helplessly agree.

…………

The two finally found a cave entrance and slept overnight with their clothes mixed.

Waking up the next day, the group packed up and set off early.

The carriage was galloping in the snow, and the dust and smoke were billowing, for fear that there would be another accident in the evening.
