Chapter 114 Finding out the answer
Hua Rujin could hear the deep meaning in the old beggar's words.

If the truth cannot be found out the day after tomorrow, then Ni Ni and those innocent lives will have to sink.

Thinking of this, she didn't want to make fun of Cousin Ruya anymore, she hurriedly planed a few mouthfuls of food, gobbled up her stomach full, and while it was still early, she rushed to the households mentioned by the old Orion all night. family.

In the Wang family not far from the inn, there is a pair of brothers who participated in the delivery of grain to the north.

When she arrived at the door of Wang's house, she saw that the lights were still on, so Hua Rujin went up to knock on the door, and a middle-aged man came out soon after.

Several people looked at each other in dismay, and the man asked with a puzzled face: "You guys came here late at night, what are you talking about?"

Hua Rujin looked impatiently at this man, and knew that it would be abrupt to disturb him so late, so she quickly took out a tael of silver from her pocket, and explained with a smile: "We just passed by here, and we found it on the ground. A tael of silver, I am afraid that Xiongtai accidentally dropped it, so I deliberately came to ask about it."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the man's face suddenly became enthusiastic, and he kept nodding: "Oh, it's mine, it's mine."

Afterwards, he collected the money, led a few people in with a smile on his face, and hurriedly told his wife to prepare tea.

"Everyone is not ignorant of collecting money. You are really noble. You might as well stay here for one night and let me thank you."

The man began to flatter him with a courteous expression.

The old beggar and Shu Jinxuan were dumbfounded, but in the end they had no choice but to compliment this girl's intelligence.

However, this man surnamed Wang clearly knew that he didn't lose the money, but he licked his face and accepted the money. I'm afraid he didn't have any good intentions.

Shu Jinxuan quickly refused: "No need, we will stay in a nearby inn. Since the money from Xiongtai has been lost and recovered, we won't bother you here."

"Yes, yes, there is no need to stay overnight."

Hua Rujin was suddenly worried about his cousin's IQ, and quickly answered: "But it's okay to sit down and rest your feet."

"Alright, alright."

The man didn't force him to stay, and nodded with a smile.

Hua Rujin wasn't worried that he would chasing away the guests at this time, after all, she took the money without knowing it, so she should have a clue in her heart, so she asked straightforwardly: "To tell you the truth, I'll collect some money and go to the north. Yunliang, I heard that Xiongtai went to the Northland in the early years, and I want to inquire about the good and bad luck of this trip?"

"Hey, there's nothing dangerous about this matter, especially at the moment."

Seeing that her question was not tricky, the man replied truthfully: "Although the journey was hard, our national strength is now strong. Even if we reach the border, there will be military masters to meet us. If there is no trouble, it will take a little time to pass the Yanmen Pass." Beware of those thieves."

"Speaking of which, it is still full of dangers."

Hua Rujin intentionally brought up the past again: "I heard that many people have not returned from the large-scale food delivery team organized by our Jingzhou government back then."

"This is indeed a strange thing."

The man also looked bewildered: "It stands to reason that this kind of thing shouldn't have happened. I heard that nearly 3000 people disappeared inexplicably."

"3000 people?"

The three of them were startled when they heard the sound.

"Yes, there are about that many."

The man nodded firmly and said: "But when I came back from the Northland, I never heard of a food delivery team being attacked or detained by barbarians."

"Could it be that he was caught by those thieves and robbers on the road?"

Shu Jinxuan also asked with a confused face.

"The thieves dare to detain the food delivery team of 3000 people. If our Daye Dynasty can remain indifferent, who will dare to go to the Northland in the future."

Hua Rujin directly denied her cousin's suspicion.

After all, the Daye Dynasty did not have the large-scale grassroots bandits like Liangshanbo. Even if there was such an organization, the court would have sent troops to punish such a shocking thing.

3000 people?
She was more certain about her analysis.

Now that I have the answer, I don't want to continue to harass here. I took a few sips of tea and got up to leave.

Although it cost a tael of silver, she didn't feel it a pity to get the answer she wanted.

On the way back, both the old beggar and the elegant cousin were extremely curious about what they heard earlier.

"The food delivery team of 3000 people disappeared inexplicably. Where did it go? Where did Yaya's father go?"

Shu Jinxuan immediately thought of Ni Ni's father, and asked anxiously: "Could it be that the same accident happened to Ni Ni's father?"

"The Northland desert stretches for thousands of miles, so it's not surprising that something went wrong."

The old beggar raised his eyebrows and said: "Besides, the great battle back then was earth-shattering. Duke Ding went deep into the hinterland, and the food delivery team came one after another. I am afraid that the guards in the rear cannot guarantee everyone's safety. It's not out of the question to be killed by surprise."

"Master's analysis is indeed somewhat reasonable."

Hua Rujin changed the subject, and disapprovingly expressed her boldest guess: "Do you think there is a possibility that these people never left Jingzhou Mansion at all?"

"Didn't you walk out of Jingzhou Mansion?"

The old beggar and Shu Jinxuan were taken aback when they heard this: "It's not as simple as hiding a few people. There are 3000 people, not to mention that it is not easy to manage. Detaining so many civilians without a word?"

For the time being, Hua Rujin didn't think of enough evidence to support her suspicion.

It seems that we have to rush back to Mount Baitou earlier and find a way to find clues at the scene of the incident.

Jiang defense important place?

Why did the incident happen here?
Hua Rujin really can't figure out the reason, and she doesn't know what kind of mystery is hidden in this place.

It's just that I have offended Zhuangyuanlang now, I'm afraid he is looking for himself to vent his anger all over the world, and without enough confidence, it will be difficult to persuade him to work together with him.

Back at the inn, she buried herself in her room with her mind full of doubts.

Shu Jinxuan couldn't understand her more and more now, but the old beggar understood what the girl was thinking.

Not to mention her, I have developed feelings for Ni Ni after spending these days together. Seeing that the day after tomorrow will be the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Jiang, who can not be worried.

Although he couldn't agree with the suspicion of girl Cai just now, he couldn't deny it either.

At this time, he chose to believe in his apprentice's insight, so he dragged Shu Jinxuan to drink in the inn, so as not to let this guy go in and interrupt his apprentice's thoughts.

Hua Rujin pondered for a long time in the room, seeing the sky getting brighter, smelling the smell of burnt candles from the lampstand, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I thought of it, it must be so."

Excitedly, she went out of the room, and when she went downstairs, she saw the old beggar and her cousin lying on the table and sleeping soundly. Thinking that tomorrow was the deadline, she had no choice but to wake them up and hurry back.

Just when he walked out of the inn, he saw Lu Xiuyuan leading several guards looking for him, and they bumped into him.

Lu Xiuyuan tracked all the way to this point, and finally found Hua Rujin, he rushed forward overjoyed, and called out with a smile: "Miss Hua, you are really easy for me to find."

Then, his face sank: "Take them all."
