Chapter 490

Tang Yin glared at Wang Song and asked coldly: "The assassin is hiding in the inn? Haven't you already checked it? Besides, the inn is heavily guarded, how did the assassin sneak in?"

Wang Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered: "It was... the assassin disguised as a craftsman, so... so he sneaked into the inn. This, this is my negligence, I hope... I hope the king will forgive me TXT download."

So that's it! What a cunning assassin. Presumably, the assassin knew that he and Lingshuang would pass by Changdu, and he also calculated that he would stay in Changdu inn, and he made arrangements early. This assassination was a carefully planned action.

If he hadn't been sober at the time, I'm afraid that Lingshuang and I would really fall into the assassin's trap and have been dead for a long time now.

He squinted his eyes and said word by word: "No matter what, we must capture these assassins." Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

He was muttering to himself, but Wang Song thought Tang Yin was talking to him. He bowed and said: "Don't worry, my king, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely catch the assassins in front of you."

Wang Song's words were what Tang Yin liked to hear. He nodded and said: "Go and check. You must give me a result within two days."

"I obey your command!" Wang Song responded with a sense of relief. With two days, he was not afraid that the assassins would fly away. What he was afraid of was that the king would punish him now.

Wang Song hurriedly took the order and left. He commanded the Zeping County Army to close all the gates out of the city and block all the waterways leading to the outside. At the same time, a large number of county troops launched a city-wide search in the city.

For a while, Changdu City was full of soldiers and filled with a strong atmosphere of killing. Even though it was already bright, there were still few pedestrians on the streets. All the shops on both sides of the road were closed and the doors and windows were closed.

Because they had to track down the assassin, Tang Yin and Ling Shuang stayed in Changdu temporarily. The spies of Tianyan and Diwang and the secret arrow personnel fully cooperated with the local army of Changdu to catch the assassin.

Wang Song's ability was not flattering, but it did not mean that he had no capable people under him.

There was a good tracker in the county army. This man was called Gao Mucheng, a native of Fengdi Lingnan County. His ancestors and fathers were all coroners. Only then did he start to switch to practicing spiritual martial arts.

Because he was born in a family of coroners, Gao Mucheng was very meticulous and good at observing details. When others were searching for assassins from house to house like headless flies, he was searching on both sides of the river.

At that time, the assassin jumped into the river to escape. Although the guards went to chase him, they failed to catch him. In the end, the assassin escaped successfully. However, according to the soldiers of the guards, some of the assassins were injured. Since some people were injured and fled in such a hurry, there must be clues. It depends on whether they can be discovered.

Maybe God will not let down those who work hard, or maybe Gao Mucheng's starting point is too accurate. After patrolling for a whole day, he really found clues. It was a piece of broken silver, most of which was buried in the mud by the river, leaving only a small part exposed.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to see it. Even if they found it, they would think that they were lucky and picked up the silver. However, Gao Mucheng quickly judged from the color of the silver that the silver had just fallen here not long ago, that is, a matter of one or two days. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the people in the city to go to a place like the river full of mud. Moreover, it is unlikely that ordinary people will carry silver on their bodies. At best, it is copper coins.

Through these judgments, Gao Mucheng suspected that the silver was probably accidentally dropped by the assassin when he climbed the bank from the river. Interestingly, the shape of the silver was very special, in the shape of a plum blossom. As far as Gao Mucheng knew, in the entire Changdu City, there was only one place that could make scattered silver into a plum blossom shape, Wantong Silk Shop.

Now he couldn't be sure whether the assassin had any connection with Wantong Silk Shop, but one thing was certain, the assassin had at least been there and bought things there, otherwise there would not be the broken silver unique to Wantong Silk Shop.

He didn't tell Wang Song about his judgment. He knew Wang Song's half-catty and eight-tael. Moreover, the boss of Wantong Silk Shop was a famous local rich man with a wide range of business. He had a lot of money dealings with Wang Song. Gao Mucheng felt that even if the assassin had any connection with Wantong Silk Shop, Wang Song might suppress the matter. In addition, he didn't want to work under Wang Song for a lifetime. This matter was a good opportunity to change his future destiny, and he didn't want to miss it.

He went directly to Anjian and asked to meet Cheng Jin, the leader of Anjian. After the meeting, he told Cheng Jin everything about his discovery and inference.

After hearing this, Cheng Jin immediately realized that Gao Mucheng's discovery was very important and his inference was reasonable. Even if Wantong Silk Shop had nothing to do with the assassin, at least he should have seen the assassin and seen the assassin's appearance. As long as he could grasp the assassin's appearance, it would be much easier to search for him.

He asked Gao Mucheng if he wanted to search Wantong Silk Shop. Gao Mucheng shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "General Cheng, the boss of Wantong Silk Shop is Meng Ping'an, a famous local tycoon and a great philanthropist. He is highly respected. If we rashly go to search without real evidence, we are afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people and cause unnecessary trouble."

Cheng Jin rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then asked: "What do you mean?"

"You can go covertly first to explore the situation. If it's abnormal, it's not too late to investigate it openly." Gao Mucheng said with his hand in hand.

Cheng Jin smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go with you."

Gao Mucheng was overjoyed that Cheng Jin, the leader of the secret arrow, could go with him to investigate secretly. What an honor it must be! He didn't even refuse, but bowed and saluted again: "With General Cheng by my side, my subordinates will feel more confident."

"Haha——" Cheng Jin looked up and smiled and said: "If your inference this time is correct and Wantong Silk Satin Village is indeed related to the assassin, then I will personally ask the king for your order and bring you under my secret arrow account."

Gao Mucheng wondered if he had heard wrongly. Cheng Jin wanted to take him into hiding. How could this be possible? Dark Arrow has always only accepted dark spiritual cultivators, but he cultivated light spiritual martial arts!

In fact, Cheng Jin has long wanted to attract light spiritual cultivators. Now, the growth of Dark Arrow is far slower than the expansion speed of Feng Kingdom, and a large number of talents are needed to supplement it. After all, there are too few dark spiritual cultivators, so Cheng Jin also intends to expand the scope of recruiting subordinates, but he has never found a chance to mention it to the king. If Gao Mucheng can help him catch the assassin this time, then he can take this opportunity to propose to the king that Gao Mucheng be included in his army. Breaking the convention that Dark Arrow only recruits dark spiritual cultivators.

From the heart, Cheng Jin has no prejudice. Whether he is a dark spiritual cultivator or a light spiritual cultivator, as long as he has the ability, as long as he can do things and accomplish things, he appreciates them.

In the evening of that day, Cheng Jin and Gao Mucheng came to Wantong Silk and Satin Shop in casual clothes.

Now almost no shops are open in the city, and Wantong Silk and Satin Store is no exception. Gao Mucheng glanced at Cheng Jin, then walked to the door of the store, hammered the door panel hard, and shouted loudly: "Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!"

After he knocked hard, not long after, footsteps came from inside. A young man dressed as a handyman opened the door, opened a small crack, and looked outside. He saw that the person coming was Gao Mucheng. , the young man's expression suddenly collapsed, and he said: "General Gao, your people just came to search, why do you need to search again now?"

Gao Mucheng was a partial general in the county army. His status was not very high, but it was not bad either. There were many people who knew him. Gao Mucheng waved his hand to the young man and said, "We are not here to search, but to buy silk."

"Ah?" The young man was stunned at first and said: "General Gao, I'm really sorry, the shop is not open today, please ask General Gao to come back another day!"

"No." Gao Mucheng turned sideways, pointed at Cheng Jin behind him, and said, "This friend of mine will follow the king back to Fengdi tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. While I'm free now, I have to buy some gifts to take home, little brother. What a convenience!”

Hey, it sounds like this is the person next to Wind King! The young man looked Cheng Jin up and down, not daring to shirk anymore. He opened the store door and said with a smile: "Two generals, please come inside."

Cheng Jin followed Gao Mucheng into the silk and satin shop. The space inside was not small, and it was divided into two floors. The counters on the lower floor were all ordinary silks and satins, which were for ordinary people, while the silks and satins on the second floor were much more refined and the prices were high. Naturally, it is a bit taller, and it is specially prepared for dignitaries.

Gao Mucheng and Cheng Jin were both military generals. Even if the young waiter didn't know Cheng Jin's identity, he could guess that he had an unusual status based on how much Gao Mucheng respected him.

The waiter directly moved the two of them to the second floor. After they were seated, he served tea, water, and fruits and snacks, which was very attentive.

After taking care of the two of them, the waiter took out the silks one by one from under the counter and placed them on the counter. He pointed at them one by one and introduced: "Two generals, this is the most famous Panjin in Zeping County. It is produced on the plate. It is made with fine workmanship and is the best of the best. The two generals can come and touch it. It is smooth and smooth and feels as light as nothing when worn."

The waiter is very eloquent and can talk endlessly when introducing.

Cheng Jin stood up with a smile, walked to the counter, and touched it. The waiter was a little exaggerated, but this plate of brocade was really good. It could not be called the best, but it was definitely worth it.

He didn't think much about it, didn't even ask the price, and said, "Give me this brocade to measure... twenty feet."

ah! The waiter in the shop was secretly stunned. This guy's tone is really serious. He asked for twenty feet without even asking the price. The waiter smiled dryly and said, "General, the prices in Panjin are not cheap. One foot costs five taels of silver!"
