Chapter 158 The Aftermath
In the past, Manager Wan only thought that Song Liyun was related to Wei.
Moreover, Song Zhenping personally admitted that he was just a military household.
At this point he had to think higher.
Wan Liang Jin was a knowledgeable businessman and knew that these so-called protective artifacts were actually high-end hidden weapons.
Just like the most popular "Heavy Rain of Pear Blossom Needles" in the Wu Dynasty, it is known as the world in the sleeve. Without a certain status, it is difficult to get it.
Could it be that this girl is from the Zhenbei Marquis family and needs to be trained in Yunzhou?
Or was she originally from the tribe of Lady Dilu on the grassland?
He couldn't think of any reason why other people would hide themselves like this.
But in the blink of an eye, Manager Wan had come up with several ideas.
He looked at Song Liyun's face again: both the Song siblings had big eyes and long, thin eyebrows. The more he looked, the more he felt that they were somewhat similar to the Di women on the grassland.
If this is the case, it would also explain why a captain of the Broken Gold Guard would allow a Rouge Tiger to do this kind of business.
Not only are there guards accompanying you, but there are also protective artifacts.
At this time, Han Ming's side was also coming to an end. Two of the five men in black fell, and the remaining three turned around and tried to escape, but two of them were knocked down by Wan's men.
The remaining one was terrified and ran straight to the small village next to him, shouting for help as he ran.
He was responded by two hunting dogs from the farm who had been unable to contain themselves any longer. They bit his throat and blood spurted out immediately.
At this time, all the people Qin He brought were killed. Song Liyun dared not delay any longer and wanted to go back immediately.
Manager Wan was already being taken care of, so he handed the money to Song Liyun and said, "Miss Song, just stay home and relax, we'll take care of things here.
If the government comes to ask about it and you say you don't know when the next delivery will be, I will ask someone to notify you."
Song Liyun nodded and said calmly, "Manager Wan should also recover from his injuries."
The Wan family has been doing business for a long time and has their own ways to handle these matters, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
Han Ming had already harnessed the old horse to the cart, but Juqing's horse ran away, and the cart it was pulling was left behind.
Song Liyun ignored the carriage she brought and headed straight for Suijin Town.
When the incident happened, she tried her best to get Song Zhenping onto the horse, hoping that he would run as far away as possible and finally hide in some secluded place to wait for her to find him.
At this moment, she hoped that Juqing was in a bad mood and was eating grass on the way back to Suijin Town.
Although the small farm chosen by the Wan family was only fifty miles away from Suijin Town, it would only take half an hour to gallop there on horseback, but it was in the mountains and the roads were not suitable for galloping.
Moreover, there are many ravines and forks in the road. Although Han Ming and Wan Daguanshi said that Song Zhenping knows the way well and should have returned to Suijin Town, Song Liyun is still worried.
Song Zhen's flat legs made it difficult for him to get on and off the horse.
She had only just started taking medicine to regulate her body so that Qiushi could have his bones set. If she fell off the saddleless horse and was injured, she couldn't imagine what her legs would look like after they grew back.
On the way back to Suijin Town, although Song Liyun was anxious, she still asked Lao Ma to drive slowly.
As I walked, I looked around to see if anyone had fallen off their horse and was lying on the ground.
Song Zhenping was also extremely anxious at this time.
They rushed out of the interception and ran all the way. Fortunately, Juqing's horse's hooves were as fast as the wind, and it did not make large leaps. Its body was stable, so he was able to hold on to the horse's neck and not fall off.
I opened my eyes to look around, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I just felt like I was flying in the clouds.
Finally, when the horse's hooves stopped, Song Zhenping's arms were so sore that he could no longer hold on to the horse's back and fell to the ground.
Seeing him land, Juqingma stamped its hooves back and forth anxiously, as if urging him to get on.
Song Zhenping struggled to get up: "I can't ride anymore. No... Let's go back and pick up Yun'er and the others."
I held onto the horse's back and started climbing up again, then slid down... and climbed again... There was no other way but to lead the horse.
Ju Qingma walked forward, and Song Zhenping wanted to go back.
The man and the horse were in a stalemate on the road until Song Liyun caught up with them.
Seeing Song Zhenping, Song Liyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Juqingma ran really far. If it went any further, it would reach the dilapidated temple in Suijin Town.
Han Ming got off the car and helped Song Zhenping into the carriage to check if he was injured.
The carriage continued back to town.
At this time, in the originally calm little village, several men were shuttling back and forth.
All the servants were injured, so they simply cleaned their wounds and rearranged the carriages, preparing to return.
Manager Wan's arm had also been bandaged, and he was sitting in a hut by the roadside talking to a skinny old man.
"Old Man An, please take care of this matter!"
The skinny old man grinned and said, "Don't be polite to me, Mr. Wan. These are just trivial matters."
For hunters like them, it is easy to clean hundreds of kilograms of meat.
Manager Wan took out a gold ingot and threw it over: "Don't come back to the village for the next few months. There are other people behind Qin He, and they will definitely come here to investigate."
The skinny old man took the gold ingot, stuffed it into his arms without even looking at it, and smiled even more happily: "In the spring, the birds and beasts in the mountains give birth, so they have to rest for two months. I plan to go to the grassland to get some medicinal herbs, so let's set off early!"
Manager Wan nodded slightly: "That's great!"
Three days later, when Hong Jingtian reported the case to the county government, the county clerk in charge of criminal affairs brought people here to investigate.
All they found was a blood-stained mountain path and an empty little village not far away.
After some investigation, we learned that this farm had existed before and had been vacant for many years. Occasionally, hunters from the mountains would stop by and process some prey here.
But no one knows where these hunters come from or where they go.
Seeing the relatively fresh pig intestines and rabbit heads discarded outside the village, the captain of the police directly wrote a report on the investigation: There is no murder here, and the blood and traces on the mountain path were left by hunters during hunting.
As for the Wanchun Fur Store in Qili County, it has also closed.
This store has always been open and closed, and the neighbors have long been accustomed to it.
Hong Jingtian knew that he had hit a wall.
But I can't figure out what went wrong.
Many of the people Qin He brought with him were specialized in this business and had committed many robberies. They thought it would be easy for them to deal with a small fur smuggler, but they did not expect that several of them had disappeared without a trace and their life or death was unknown.
Hong Jingtian also had another idea, that is, Qin He had succeeded and took the furs to find another place.
The county police chief couldn't find Qin He, but he still had another way.
Everything has a cause.
The reason why Qin He was asked to rob Wanchun Fur was because he discovered that Song Liyun had close contact with the fur shop.
Every time Song Liyun came to Qili County, she would go to that store.
He went into the city twice, and then three times. When he came out, he had money to buy food and other things.
He had already inquired about it. The Song family was a military household that had nowhere else to turn. Logically, they had no money, which would be abnormal no matter where they looked.
Hong Jingtian originally wanted to recruit Song Liyun as his own subordinate, but he lost two of his brothers.
He didn't care about the death of Min Gande, but now Qin He, his most capable assistant, was also lost.
There was also a story about the bandits that attacked and wiped out Suijin Town on the night of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. There must be a mystery behind this, and he must get to the bottom of it.
You can definitely find the answer from Song Liyun.
Song Liyun had never expected that her behavior of selling furs to buy things in Qili County would finally be discovered three months later.
