Chapter 84 The Imperial Capital
Ren Ning nodded in satisfaction.

As soon as the saber in his hand moved, it was pulled out from the man in black's mouth and stuck to his throat.

It's okay to talk, but the danger is the same danger.

"Who sent you here?" he asked.

"I don't know. We just took the money and followed the instructions of the middleman to kill the Second Young Master Xiao of the Zhongyong uncle's mansion."

Ren Ning's mind turned around.

It has been too long since he left the imperial capital, and he couldn't remember who this Second Young Master Xiao was.

"Who is the middleman?" Ren Ning asked again.

"Although the other party was covering his face when he came to us, I recognized him. He is a waiter at Wangjiang Restaurant at the East Wharf of the Imperial Capital, and he has a small mole on his left chin."

Ren Ning asked a few more questions, and after judging that the other party was not lying, he broke the neck of the man in black without hesitation and threw him into the canal.

The next day, Ren Ning woke up with screams.

"An accident happened! There was an accident on the boat last night." Someone screamed.

"What happened?"

The man obviously lowered his voice, but let others hear him clearly.

"Last night, a man in black touched the boat from the water in the middle of the night, but was killed by the second young master Xiao. I don't know who they originally wanted to kill."

Hey.

I don't know who suddenly laughed, and the laughter was full of disdain.

"The unscrupulous (Xiao) second son of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion can also kill someone? If he really killed him, I will hang upside down to eat today."

"Betting or not, the body of the man in black is still placed in front of the door of Second Young Master Xiao's room."

"Gamble, bet, whoever is afraid of whoever!"

……

Ren Ning didn't listen anymore.

He went down to the mixed cargo cabin to see Chasing Wind, and seeing that his beloved horse was fine, he leisurely returned to his room and lay down on the corridor to watch the scenery on both sides of the canal.

Tomb-sweeping Day is also called March Festival.The team to send the spirits back to their hometowns left the fortress in Qingming, and it has been more than three months since now.

In July, most places in Yunchui have entered the hot summer, and there are large areas of harvested rice fields on both sides of the canal.

In some rice fields on the east bank, some harvested straw was scattered messily.

There were no fertilizers in ancient times.In addition to manure, most of the grass stalks are dried and then burned into plant ash and sprinkled on the fields as fertilizer.

There is nothing surprising about this.

But looking at it, Ren Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

The stalks seemed to be thrown in a mess, but upon closer inspection, it was found that some of them looked like signs commonly used by scouts or spies.

However, the scouts or secret agents in the world are not the same. He tried his best to interpret it, but he couldn't understand it.

Ren Ning turned around.

After walking for a long time, I met a man who knew everything on the deck, and he was talking about the scenery on both sides of the canal to dozens of listeners.

Ren Ning smiled.

This is probably the ancient tour guide.

"I, Hu Dazui, walk this canal every day, and I know the surrounding situation like the palm of my hand. If you want me to be the second in the world, no one will dare to be the number one."

"Passing this fertile field, the beautiful Luofeng Mountain is in front of you. Visitors who are visiting the imperial capital for the first time should not miss the scenery on both sides..."

"Luofeng Mountain?" A tourist exclaimed: "I know Luofeng Mountain. I heard that Yunchui's first queen came from this Luofeng Mountain."

"That's right! I've never seen Longshou Mountain or Luofeng Mountain. Now I have to take a closer look."

Amid the commotion.

Ren Ning smiled disdainfully, and muttered: "How can anyone know the Grand Canal that is more than 2000 miles away. No wonder it's called Hu Dazui, it's nonsense."

He spoke in a low voice, but Hu Dazui had sharp eyes and ears, and immediately caught Ren Ning's position, and looked over fiercely.

"Boy, Hu has been in the world for more than 30 years, and he has always said something. Do you dare to believe me?"

"I believe it!" Ren Ning pouted.

He casually pointed to the rice fields on the east bank, and said provocatively, "I'll bet five taels of silver. Your Excellency, tell me, who owns these farms?"

Being able to afford a boat, everyone naturally wouldn't care too much about five taels of silver, but hearing what Ren Ning said, everyone couldn't help but look at Hu Dazui.

Haha.

"That's the problem?" Hu Dazui breathed a sigh of relief, "Five taels of silver is my salary for three months, Hu Dazui, don't take it for nothing."

He made a great circle.

"The fields around here are all high-quality fertile fields, which can feed half of the county's people in a good harvest. Hu happened to know a steward in a certain village, and even helped him deliver new grain to the owner's house. The owner behind these fields probably everyone Everyone is familiar with it, it is the Imperial Capital Grand Master's Mansion."

Grand Master's Mansion!
Ren Ning took a deep look at the east bank.

It was really a flood that washed into the Dragon King Temple. This was actually their Ren family's field.

But it can't be said to be "own family". Ren Ning hasn't listed his family tree so far, and these lands have nothing to do with him.

Not listening any more, Ren Ning snorted, threw the broken silver in his hand, and left the deck angrily.

In a certain room on the third floor of the passenger ship, several people were silently looking at the rice fields on both sides.

After a while, someone cupped his hands: "My lord, the message says that Ren Ning is alone on our boat. Do you want us tonight..."

He made a downward cutting motion.

The man in the shadows shook his head.

"Although the matter of the telescope is urgent, but someone touched the boat last night, and it has already caused ups and downs. Besides, this boy was recalled by His Majesty to the imperial capital. If something happens, Long Yan will definitely be furious. We will leave Beijing privately at that time." Things will inevitably come to light.”

"Leave him alone for now."

After another day and night, the imperial capital Xingji City finally arrived.

The Xinglan Grand Canal is part of the city's ring river.It has two main piers, one east and one west.

The passenger ship came from Sulan from the east, but it had to go to the west pier to let the distinguished guests on the second and third floors go up and down, and then return to the east pier to let down the common people on the first floor.

Ren Ning led Zhuifeng off the boat.

The black horse grew up in the western region since childhood, and it is rare to see big rivers, and it has never been on a boat. After getting off, it wobbled for half a circle before standing still.

Ren Ning patted the horse haha, looking around habitually.

There are people coming and going at the pier, and there is a lot of traffic.A piece of yellow under the golden finger.

He was about to look back when a little green suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

Dingqing took a look.

In a restaurant by the canal, someone was standing in front of the window in a private seat on the second floor, and it was unclear whether he was looking for someone or looking at the scenery of the canal.

The distance is a bit far, and Ren Ning can't see clearly for a while.He touched the binoculars on his waist, but didn't take it out.

Seeing that it was getting late, he was not in a hurry to go to the palace to report, so he took Zhuifeng and walked towards the restaurant in a hurry.

Wangjiang Restaurant.

Seeing the name in front of him, Ren Ning had a strange expression on his face.

Two days ago, someone bought a man in black to assassinate the Second Young Master Xiao of Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, and the middleman came from this Wangjiang restaurant.

Although Ren Ning is a man and a horse, his momentum is extraordinary.Especially the majestic Zhuifeng, one can tell at a glance that it is a good horse that is hard to find.

Xiaoer has good eyesight, and hurried out to lead the horse, "Guest officer, please come in, there are still vacant private seats on the second floor..."

The war horse is irritable, not everyone can touch it casually.

Boom!

Zhuifeng yelled angrily, and with a flick of his head, the shop waiter, who was caught off guard, knocked over a few somersaults.If Ren Ning hadn't stopped quickly, the dark horse would have rushed up and stepped on it.

"Second brother, I'm sorry," Ren Ning quickly helped the waiter up, "My horse is a bit naughty. Is it hurt?"

"It's all right! Guest officer, I'm all right." The waiter in the shop was wiping cold sweat, not daring to complain.He avoided chasing the wind far away, not daring to touch the rein again.

There are onlookers in every year and in every world.

During the uproar in front of the restaurant, passers-by gathered to watch the commotion, and even some of the private seats on the second floor stretched their heads out to look down.

Ren Ning looked up.

Yo, it turned out to be a strange acquaintance.
