My lord, the five elements are missing me

Chapter 118

"Let your men spread the incense ash all over the street. If the quantity is really not enough, then only on the one-meter-wide road near the corner. Remember, especially the ones I marked, people should pay special attention Sprinkle it all over from the east end of the street to the west end. It's getting dark, remember to act fast."

It's getting late outside, today's matter can't be delayed any longer, some things need to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Don't try too hard. This matter can't be resolved in a day or two, otherwise we wouldn't have been clueless in the past month. And the attitude of the person in the palace is very clear, what we want to catch is absolutely It is not a strong person who is different from ordinary people."

Qin Huai was in a difficult situation. This task was originally difficult to do, but there were so many rules above, coupled with the appearance of the national teacher, if someone who was not a gangster was really caught, the impact would undoubtedly be huge.

But speaking of this incident, it is definitely inextricably linked with the superiors in the palace.Otherwise, the country would never have made such an action in such a laborious manner.

Although the explanation given by the emperor is very reasonable, it is said that it is to suppress the hearts of the people below.But anyone with a discerning eye knows that things are definitely not that simple. After all, imperial power is too far away for ordinary people, not to mention such dirty things. The most common action should be to send out the national teacher for a while, and then leave the mess to others.

The series of things that happened this time are against common sense, and even many places are not logical at all.

"Actually, we have dealt with the matter of the Xu family during the day. Apart from those who have had accidents in this street, there are still some abnormal auras. Everything else has returned to tranquility. What we have to do at night is just to try our luck. , to see if those people will send someone to inspect again. If someone inspects, we can just follow them, and maybe there will be new discoveries.

Almost all of our actions today are in the capital, so everyone should know by now.But what we found, and who I met in that house, is very secretive, and those who have done wrong will not be able to wait to come and find out.The greatest possible effect of those movements during the day is to scare the snake away. "

Meng Xuanyu's coming to this street today made him feel strange at first, but it was just like the atmosphere in everyone's house.

Now that the source is known, there is no need to continue the investigation.

Now I can only try my luck and see if those people do it or not. If you can't hold your breath, it's fine.

"Shopkeeper, the higher-ups sent people down today to check on the child's affairs. Tianshui Lane was closed, and the other streets were much more lively because of these things. Today's business is almost two or three times as usual. Why do you plan to Did it close early?"

Although the northwest corner of the capital is on the edge of the new city, most of the people living here are wealthy households, and there are several very prosperous streets, so it is considered a good place.

It's hard to say anything else on this street, but the business is absolutely top-notch.The business of Wang's rice shop has been sluggish for several days. Although the boss didn't show any panic, he couldn't sit still for some reason.Today, because of the incident in Tianshui Lane, everyone felt that someone would testify that those villains should not be too rampant, so people who had been holding back for several days began to go shopping. Although the business today is not as good as usual, it is definitely better than the previous few days. It is several times the income.

But the boss became even more flustered, pacing back and forth in the shop almost all day long.The guests who came in were very puzzled because of the attitude of the boss, but after all, it was their business, so no one asked.

However, this guy finally had something to do today, so he was quite happy, but the sudden order to close the door made him a little suspicious.

"Is this mine or yours? Why do you ask so many questions? If you have something to ask you to do, hurry up and do it. Don't worry about it here. Be careful that I will deduct your monthly payment for this month!"

The shopkeeper was vicious when he spoke, although he was not usually very talkative, but he was polite to the people who worked for him below.

"Yes, then I will close the door right now, but I have made less money, so don't blame me!"

The waiter was not angry at all, he went to close the door in a panic, and then happily went home to sleep.

"My lord, today's facts are a bit strange. Tianshui Lane couldn't even send any news all day today, and everyone was blocked at home and not allowed to go out. And that His Royal Highness King Qin, everyone knows that he is a stern and selfless person." Guy, it’s impossible to talk about it. Although we sent a new servant who is not good enough, but that guy cowardly hired one. It’s been so long, let alone pass on the news to us, the person we went to connect with even found out that he The time spent by King Qin's side is no more than a stick of incense, and all he can do is run errands, and King Qin even sent someone to follow him."

While bowing his head to report, the shopkeeper couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead with his handkerchief.

I can't blame him for being flustered. In the past, he was a poor citizen who didn't know anything. The biggest evil thing he did was to use his hands on the scales, and his feet were short of catties. Just like that, a few centimeters at most is already very It's amazing.

The job he received recently was to take care of children collected by others from various places for a few days, and then hand them over to the person in front of him.Even an idiot can figure out things like the constant throwing of children in the capital.

"It's really a waste! No matter how powerful King Qin is, he is just an ordinary person. What are you afraid of? And do you know the identity of the person who wants the child? It's just a mere His Royal Highness King Qin, even if you want to kill him King Qin, what can he say! What's more, if you open such a shop, you probably won't be able to earn what you earned yesterday in this life! Think about it carefully, although I won't embarrass you, I won't let you take our money. Get the news out."

The man in black was relatively calm, holding the tea cup in his hand, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't care at all.But what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.

In this world, only the dead can guard the secrets in their hearts verbatim.

The shopkeeper knew this very well, and immediately gave up his thoughts. He could only regret that he had been a profiteer for half his life, but in the end, because of a little kindness, he fell into such a huge pit.

The first child was delivered by an old woman. It was raining heavily that day and it was gloomy outside. The shopkeeper was sitting in the store in a daze, when he was startled by the sudden knock on the door.

The clothes worn by the person who entered the door were extremely shabby. She said that she was desperate. On the way to escape, her son and daughter were killed by gangsters, so she had to run away alone with the child in her arms. , I can only find someone who is similar to raise him, even if I want to sell someone's teeth.

The shopkeeper was confused by something, and he became greedy for the few taels of silver. At that time, he took his finger and gave the woman a piece of cake. Now that I think about it, the woman's face is black or white. I can't even think clearly, this situation is really weird, but it's too late to say anything now.
