Chapter 248 Who is the strange man?
Lin Xiaoyue felt that Liang Jingyao's thinking was too absolute, but she had no evidence to prove that the king was still in Dongsui Kingdom, so there was no need to continue arguing with Liang Jingyao here.
"The possibility is 50-50. It's true that Emperor Liang won't be keeping an eye on us recently! We can take this opportunity to clean up some of the unscrupulous shops in Yangming Town, such as the Fengshou Grain Shop that refused to sell me grain!" Lin Xiaoyue suggested.
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "You're right. I heard that all the grain in the warehouse of Fengshou Grain Store was stolen, and a lot of rats got in. I don't think anyone would blatantly move grain out in broad daylight. It's simply that the owner is putting on a show, afraid that we'll retaliate!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled secretly in her heart, knowing that she was the blatant grain thief. However, all rice and flour looked the same, and there were no specific marks on the cloth bags used by Fengshou Grain Shop to store rice and flour, so they would not know even if they searched thoroughly!
"Brother Liang, have you ever thought about this? Fengshou Grain Shop is open for business. I'm paying for grain, so why wouldn't they want to do it? There's definitely something fishy going on here. Maybe they're a pawn of Emperor Liang in Yangming Town! And that Jianghu Order isn't right either. Why didn't you accept your mission, but Emperor Liang accepted it? But the Jianghu Order is in the capital, so we can't do anything to them. But we have to investigate this Fengshou Grain Shop!"
Although Lin Xiaoyue had a letter from the owner of the Fengshou Grain Shop to Emperor Liang, and she also saw with her own eyes the man in black leaving the Fengshou Grain Shop with the letter, and taking a small path through the door of the Jianghu Order and then entering the capital, in order not to expose herself, she still chose to remind Liang Jingyao implicitly.
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take people to search the Fengshou Grain Store now! You don't know martial arts, so don't be curious and come to watch the fun. Just wait here for my news!"
Lin Xiaoyue's thoughts were seen through, and she wailed, "Ah! Can't I just follow you closely? Yangming Town is our own territory now!"
Liang Jingyao didn't want Lin Xiaoyue to get into any trouble, so he refused without a second thought, "Be obedient, don't go! If the owner of Fengshou Grain Shop is really one of Emperor Liang's men, then there must be an ambush inside the shop! Right now, this is the safest place in all of Yangming Town. Yunyun is simple-minded and too soft-hearted, she fell for your trick in just a few words! I'm taking you to the Old Monster Jiu now; he's the only one who can keep an eye on you!"
Lin Xiaoyue slapped her forehead helplessly. Liang Jingyao was so smart. He knew her and the people around her personality so well. Fortunately, she and Liang Jingyao were not enemies, otherwise she would have died a hundred times!
"Brother Liang, you really don't have to worry about me. I'm very afraid of death. Although I don't know martial arts, I still have the ability to escape, so just take me with you!"
Lin Xiaoyue's innocent big eyes didn't move Liang Jingyao's heart. Liang Jingyao took Lin Xiaoyue's hand and went to the tent where Jiu Laoguai was sitting for consultation not far away.
At this time, there were not many people coming to see the doctor, so Liang Jingyao did not need to avoid people. He patted the old drunkard on the back and said, "I'm leaving Yue'er to you. When I come back, I want to see her intact. If I don't see her, you will be punished too!"
The drunkard was in a dilemma. He looked at Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "What is she going to do now?"
Liang Jingyao replied helplessly: "I'm going to investigate Fengshou Grain Store. Yue'er insisted on going with me, but I don't think it's safe there. I don't want Yue'er to take risks with me."
The old drunkard said approvingly, "Jingyao, you did a great job this time! Leave the girl to me, I will definitely keep a close eye on her for you!"
Liang Jingyao was very satisfied and took his men to Fengshou Grain Shop with confidence.
Lin Xiaoyue was still unwilling to give up. She found a chair and sat down, dragging her chin and began to lobby the old drunkard, "Dad, you don't have anything to do now, let's go out for a walk? The weather is nice today."
The drunkard glanced at Lin Xiaoyue's dark, rolling eyes, shook his head and said, "Are you trying to drag me to the Harvest Grain Shop? I'm not going anywhere! It's rare that no one comes to see the doctor today, I can teach you something."
Lin Xiaoyue's thoughts were exposed, and she drooped her head in frustration. She muttered softly, "Dad, how could you help Brother Liang and not me? I just want to see bad people get their comeuppance, is that not okay?"
The old drunkard said with a smile: "Of course, you can see it when Jingyao comes back, right? Do you think he will return empty-handed? Besides, this is not about helping someone or not, I just don't want you to go to a dangerous place."
Lin Xiaoyue sighed. Is it really true that there will be no fun today?
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of the medical consultation booth. Lin Xiaoyue looked closely and found that it was Zhan Tian whom she had not seen for a long time. During this period, Zhan Ying stayed in the Bamboo Courtyard to serve as a guard for the Queen Mother, Zhan Hu helped at the city gate, and the remaining members of the Silver Guard were guarding Yangming Mountain with their men.
But who was the person Zhan Tian was carrying? This person looked unfamiliar, and the clothes he was wearing didn't look like those from an ordinary family. Could it be some rich kid who had strayed into Yangmingshan?
Lin Xiaoyue stood up, helped the strange man to her seat, and asked, "Zhan Tian, where did this man come from?"
Zhan Tian replied, "We found this man lying unconscious on the ground while patrolling the mountain, so we wanted to bring him back and wake him up first, then ask him how he got up the mountain and what his purpose was."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, looked at the drunken old man who was taking his pulse, and asked, "Dad, how is this man injured? Can he wake up?"
After taking the man's pulse, the drunken monster lifted up his eyelids and took a look, then looked for possible injuries on the man's body. To his surprise, he found a waist badge with the word "Yu" engraved on the front and the word "Wang" engraved on the back.
"Zhan Tian, this man is not simple! You must quickly carry him into my tent. No one can be allowed in while I am treating his wounds!" The drunkard said nervously.
Zhan Tian nodded, carried the man on his back and went to the drunkard's tent.
Lin Xiaoyue followed curiously and asked, "Dad, who is this person? Do you know him?"
The drunkard frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "Now is not the time to ask these questions. Don't you want to go to the Fengshou Grain Shop? Go quickly, otherwise it will be too late and Jingyao will have dealt with everyone! By the way, when you see Jingyao, tell him that I have something urgent to talk to him about!"
Lin Xiaoyue was so shocked that she thought her ears were malfunctioning. She asked in disbelief, "Dad, what did you say? You want me to go to Fengshou Grain Store to find Brother Liang right now? Dad, what's wrong with you? Is this man some big shot?"
The drunkard didn't have time to continue talking to Lin Xiaoyue. Before entering the tent, he blocked Lin Xiaoyue's way with his body and said again: "That's right, it's just as you heard! Go, tell Jingyao to deal with them and come back quickly!"
