Chapter 496 Important News



The innkeeper trembled all over, and was almost scared to death by Han Yu's threats. He was originally thinking about what to say to get himself out of this situation safely, but now that he was scared by these people, he also realized that these people were not kind, so he could only tell the truth, hoping that they would keep their words and let him go, otherwise he would be at their mercy.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Please spare my life, brave men..." The shopkeeper no longer dared to hesitate and told everything in detail, including some things he guessed based on the behaviors of those gangsters. He just hoped that these people would let him go because of his honesty.

Han Yu frowned after hearing what the shopkeeper said. These people seemed to be on guard and were too cautious in their actions, which forced him to assume the worst.

His life was in the hands of this murderous young man. The shopkeeper carefully peeked at Han Yu's expression. Seeing Han Yu frown, he thought he was dissatisfied with his answer. He immediately became anxious and said quickly, "That's all. I didn't lie. I swear, if there is any concealment or falsehood in what I said today, let me be struck by lightning!"

People of this era believed in gods and Buddhas, and were actually quite averse to swearing. The shopkeeper was at a loss as compared to his own life, swearing an oath was nothing. Anyway, he did not lie and his oath would not come true.

Han Yu did not doubt that the shopkeeper had lied. He kept staring at the shopkeeper's expression. If there was anything wrong, it would be discovered. He could see that the shopkeeper was a timid person who dared not lie, nor did he need to lie.

"Get up first and think about what habits those people have, or what little details they accidentally revealed. Call the waiter who greeted those people that day. I want to ask him some questions."

This was all the information he could get from the shopkeeper, which was not of much help. Han Yu thought of the waiter who had contact with those people that day. The waiter had more contact with those people than the shopkeeper did, so perhaps he could discover something that the shopkeeper didn't.

The shopkeeper immediately called the waiter over without hesitation: "Xiao Huzi, this nobleman has some questions to ask, just answer them honestly and don't hide anything."

The shopkeeper gave instructions to the waiter before Han Yu could speak, fearing that the waiter's performance would dissatisfy Han Yu, which would then bring bad luck to both of them. He had run this inn for some years and had met many people. These people were not only scary in their aura, but also had a murderous air. They must have killed people, and the swords hanging around their waists were definitely not decorations.

Han Yu was satisfied with the innkeeper's tact. He was just asking questions and had no intention of killing anyone, unless the innkeeper was really helping the evil.

"Yes, boss, I understand. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will answer them without hesitation." The waiter was also smart. Seeing his boss acting like this, he knew that these people were not to be trifled with, so he immediately said

Han Yu asked the waiter the same questions he had asked the innkeeper, and even asked some questions in more detail.

"What do they look like? You saw the appearance of the woman we brought back. Is she the same as I described?"

The waiter and the shopkeeper gave similar answers to this question: "I didn't see clearly. They were all wearing bamboo hats. I couldn't see their faces clearly, and there were no women among them."

"How is this possible? Our madam clearly left a secret mark here, so she must have been here." Seeing that not only the shopkeeper but even the waiter said so, the secret guard asked anxiously, but only with Han Yu's permission.

The innkeeper and the waiter looked at each other. They really didn't know how to explain this question: "We really didn't see it, so how dare we make up nonsense."

The waiter nodded in agreement when the shopkeeper said this, but he suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up: "I didn't see the woman described in the objective description. Those people were all dressed in men's clothes and wore bamboo hats, but..."

"But what? Tell me!" Han Yu saw the waiter like this, and he must have remembered something, so he asked hurriedly.

"I thought two of them were quite short, especially one of them, who seemed to be injured and was supported by another. At the time, I just thought the scene was a little weird. These were all private matters of the guests, so I didn't dare to ask more. Now I think that not only were the two people shorter than the others, but their walking posture was also a little bit wrong. They looked like women."

"That's right, the injured person being supported must be Madam!"

Han Yu obviously thought so too, and this could explain it. However, when he thought that his wife was injured and had to be supported, he thought that the injury must be serious, and he felt distressed again.

The waiter thought of this and suddenly his mind seemed to be enlightened. He mentioned several good points in succession and also revealed an important piece of news: among those gangsters, one was left-handed, which was a more obvious feature.

"Can you think of anything else?"

The waiter thought about it carefully again and shook his head: "Objectively speaking, these are all I can think of. There is nothing else."

Seeing the waiter like this, Han Yu knew that no matter how many more questions he asked, he would not get any information. After all, those gangsters were obviously on guard and their behavior was covert. The waiter was always smart and clever, so it was rare for him to figure out these things.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Since we can't get any more information, and those people are from the underworld, instead of wasting time here, we might as well ask Feng Jianling if there are such people in the underworld. Especially the left-handed feature of that person must be uncommon, and maybe we can find the traces of those people through these.

Han Yu stood up and left two silver ingots as a reward for the shopkeeper and the waiter for providing clues.

The shopkeeper took the two silver ingots on the table, not even bothering to wipe the cold sweat off his head, and grinned. He thought his life was about to be in danger today, but he didn't expect that not only was he fine, but he also got a windfall. The second brother was also happy. Although the shopkeeper would not really give him half of the silver, he would definitely reward him, which was not bad.

Feng Jianling led his men to search for Su Wenyue in another direction. After receiving the message from Han Yu, he handed the task of finding the person over to his subordinates and immediately rushed over to meet up with Han Yu.

"Are you Han Yu?" Feng Jianling looked at Han Yu. This was the first time he met Han Yu. He had only heard about Han Yu before and thought that this young man was not simple. Now that he saw Han Yu in person, he knew at first glance that he was not an ordinary person. Yue girl did find a good husband, but...
