Chapter 50: Murder at the Inn
On the way to the livestock market, Qin Chuchu saw the cap on the roadside stall and remembered what Feng Qi had said to her.
He paid the money directly, bought the hat and put it on his head.
Although the view was obstructed, I did feel a lot safer.
When we arrived at the livestock trading market, it was already very lively.
According to what the shopkeeper told her, she quickly found the middlemen who helped people select livestock.
After paying the commission, she sat there waiting. Soon, the middleman picked out a few high-quality horses.
Qin Chuchu looked carefully and finally chose two chestnut horses with shiny bodies.
These two horses were also the most expensive, and she paid 20 silver coins directly.
Since she has to walk a long distance, she must choose one with good endurance. She doesn't care about the price at all.
Under the guidance of the middleman, they arrived at the place where horse-drawn carriages were sold.
Considering the big size of the Living King of Hell, a large carriage was chosen.
Not only that, the boss also remodeled it.
In the past, carriages were equipped with one to three benches.
But she asked the boss to remove all the chairs, making the entire space flat, similar to the style of a kang in Northeast China.
A liftable table was built in the middle. Things can be placed on it during the day, and it can be lowered back at night so people can sleep on it.
Considering that the weather will get colder in the future, a layer of cold-proof blanket was ordered inside the carriage.
It not only prevents wind but also keeps you warm. The carriage curtains have also been changed to sliding doors, which provide better sealing.
There is also a cabinet inside to store items.
Another layer was added on top of the carport, so many large objects can be placed inside.
A large cabinet reaching the ceiling was also built at the back of the carriage to store some cooking supplies.
While the workers were still working, she went to the street to buy some daily necessities.
By the time we got back to the inn, it was already afternoon.
Looking at the large space in front of me that can sleep at least three people, I couldn't stop smiling.
Now you don’t have to worry about sleeping in a crowded place.
Once my mood improved, I no longer felt tired and started to talk backwards.
An inflatable mattress was laid, and on top of the mattress was a thick quilt, and on top of that a pink sheet.
He took out two new sets of quilts and pillows from the space.
The cabinet was filled with food and daily necessities. Looking at the cozy little house she had decorated, Qin Chuchu rolled around on it for a long time in delight before coming out.
He took out some food from the space and filled the cabinet in the trunk.
After all the work was done, it was dark and my stomach was empty.
I turned and went into the inn, planning to have a good meal and set off again tomorrow morning.
But as soon as I sat down, I heard people around me talking.
"Have you heard what happened in Liuhe Town last night?"
"You mean the tragedy at the Liuhe Inn?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I'm talking about. I heard that those who died were exiled criminals!"
"I heard that too! They said at least dozens of people died! The government even closed off that street!"
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
She threw down the recipe in her hand and walked up to those people.
"Then do you all know where those prisoners went?"
Although he asked this, he already had a bad feeling in his heart, and his palms were clenched into fists with nervousness.
A few people looked up and saw a woman wearing a veil, and they put aside their grudges.
"It seems to be heading north, but I don't know where it's going."
"North!" Qin Chuchu was shocked.
Isn’t that the Far North where the Living King of Hell is going?
Dozens of people died, and I don’t know if there are any living devils like them.
He didn't even eat, turned around and walked out, went to the stable, and drove out his carriage.
After asking for directions, I left the city in the dark.
Along the way, she kept thinking in her mind, remembering the solemn expressions of Feng Qi and others before she left, and the team that suddenly joined in.
It turned out that the Living King of Hell had already realized the danger and deliberately let her go, and also sent Feng Qi to protect her secretly.
It’s ridiculous that I still foolishly thought that no one found out. It turns out that he was the one who arranged all this.
So many people died, and I don’t know how they are doing now.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he drove faster and faster, even though horses can see the road at night.
But in order to increase the speed, she turned on the searchlight, and the speed increased a lot.
The carriage arrived at Liuhe Town and easily found the inn. Just as those people said, the entire street was sealed off by the government.
After parking the carriage at the street corner, she ran all the way to the inn. Before she got close, she was stopped by a man dressed as a guard.
"Stop, this place is closed to traffic!"
The guard said as he looked at Qin Chuchu.
"Sir, I want to ask, what happened?"
Qin Chuchu pointed to the inn in front and handed over two taels of loose silver.
The guard weighed the silver in his hand, looked at Qin Chuchu again, and his attitude changed drastically.
"Oh, there was a bloody incident last night, more than 20 people died. This inn is no longer suitable for you to stay in. You should go somewhere else!"
"Oh, then, sir, do you know who the dead are?"
"I heard he was an exiled prisoner heading north!"
"North?"
Qin Chuchu followed the direction of his finger and looked at the two roads ahead. Both of them went north. Which one should she take?
As I was thinking about it, the God of War called out from the front.
“Ouch!!”
“………” Qin Chuchu looked at the God of War.
Seeing it looking at the road on the left and wagging its tail, what is there to understand?
She and the God of War quickly ran back to the carriage and rushed all the way according to the road pointed by the God of War...
As the sky gradually brightened, after Han Muchen and his companions finished washing up, Zhao Yatou ordered someone to bring breakfast over.
We still ate brown rice porridge and pickles, and slept in a large bunk bed last night.
Liu Zhi held his arm and drank the rice porridge with difficulty, glancing at Han Muchen beside him from time to time, with an expression of frustration that could not be concealed on his face.
When I think of how he killed everyone last night, I'm afraid it will be even harder to kill him in the future.
Han Muchen just lowered his head and drank the porridge in the bowl, as if he didn't notice Liu Zhi's expression.
As soon as they finished breakfast, Zhao Yatou and Zhang Yatou walked in from outside.
"My Lord, it's time for us to set off!"
Zhao Yatou tried his best to keep a calm expression, but he was actually very excited in his heart.
It turned out that the prince's poison had been cured, and now everyone was relieved. Zhang Yatou and Liu Zhi beside him were in the same state.
My heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Now that Han Muchen has recovered, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to get rid of him in the future.
"Yeah!" Han Muchen nodded.
He stood up, and as soon as the group arrived at the first-floor lobby, Liu Qing came up to him, shaking her hips.
"Your Highness, the roast chicken I just bought is still hot. Would you like some more?"
She looked at the man in front of her with affection. It turned out that his illness had been cured a long time ago. Thinking of how he was killing everyone last night, her strong possessive desire was rekindled.
This man can only be hers!
It just so happens that Qin Chuchu has left. As long as I pay attention to this man, I believe he will fall in love with her.
Han Muchen looked at the oil-paper bag in her hand with a frown on his face. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard a familiar voice in his ears.
“Ouch!!!”
