Chapter 365 Visit, Identity Suspected

The caravan traveled smoothly before, but that doesn't mean they didn't leave any clues. If someone finds out, it is possible to report it to the imperial court. The bounty offered to Qinghe is enough to make many people tempted.

Yingchu recalled the person at the gate of the city who delivered the official documents of the imperial court. As soon as he entered the city, the gate of the city began to be blocked. The timing was very coincidental.

"It's useless to think so much now," Yingchu said, "Let's be more careful, as long as we spend half a day and a night, we will leave immediately when the city gate opens tomorrow."

Qinghe nodded, just to be on the safe side, he didn't change the women's clothing on his body, he was wearing it like this before leaving Guangyi Town.

When they were discussing in the room, Mr. Wang Zhide rushed to the gate of the city with his people in a hurry.

The guards at the gate rushed forward to salute.

Wang Zhide waved them off, "Give me the names of foreigners who entered the city today!"

The official sent the name book with both hands.

When a foreigner enters the city, he needs a guide, which clearly records the person's name, hometown, origin, etc.The city gate guards will be registered in the register for official verification.

Wang Zhide quickly flipped through the name book, asked some of them suspicious, thought about it carefully, and shook his head to rule it out.

The officials saw that Mr. Wang not only came to the gate of the city in person, but also interrogated him very carefully, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.They secretly looked at each other, and they couldn't help cheering up.

Wang Zhide turned to the end of the name book, and there was a page that recorded more than 50 merchants from the capital, all of whom belonged to the same caravan.

Seeing that his gaze had been lingering for a long time, the gatekeeper took the initiative to explain: "This caravan is a big businessman with half a tael of gold. They often travel between the capital and the East China Sea. They are frequent visitors in our Guangyi Town. There are many records of their entry and exit from the city."

Wang Zhide nodded, no wonder he thought it looked familiar, he only saw it after sorting out the government documents in the past few days.This steward surnamed Wang is still from his own family.

Just as he was about to turn the page, he suddenly caught sight of the last three names, and said, "What's the matter with this family of three? People who go to the business are still dragging their families?"

The official said: "The steward said that these are his relatives, and they are not from the caravan who took their ride to the East China Sea this time."

Dressed up in men's clothing, Yingchu looked like he was not a rough guy traveling around, but it made people suspicious if he said he was a member of the caravan. So along the way, Manager Wang always said they were his relatives.

It's not uncommon for a caravan to take people along the way, but since they came from the capital, Wang Zhide had to pay attention.Hua Qinghe and General Qi's orphan, if he pretends to be a family of three, it is very possible.

Wang Zhide asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of the caravan. It is easy to inquire about the whereabouts of such a large caravan. After he finished reading the last few pages of the name book, the inquirer came back.

Wang Zhide immediately went to the inn.

Yingchu and Qinghe were eating in the room, when they heard the commotion coming from below, Qinghe went to the window and looked, his face changed slightly: "Sister, the people from the government have surrounded the inn!"

Yingchu's movements paused, Xiao Sining said ahhh twice, and Yingchu continued to feed her porridge. "We'll play by ear later, I'll be there for everything," Yingchu said.

Qing He nodded, he wasn't very worried, the dog emperor arrested him just to force his sister to go back, and he wouldn't lose his life if he was caught, at most he would find a chance to escape.

After Yingchu fed Xiao Sining the last mouthful of porridge, the sound of footsteps of many people going up the stairs could be heard outside, and soon stopped outside her room.

Tuk tuk, tuk tuk!After five knocks on the door, Guanshi Wang said from outside the door: "Brother Yan, younger siblings, are you inside? The magistrate is here, come out and meet me soon."

Five knocks on the door meant that the situation was critical, and Wang Zhide's arrival was unkind.

Yingchu handed Xiao Sining to Qinghe, walked over and opened the door, she put on a mask, not afraid that Wang Zhide would recognize her.

"Caomin has seen the magistrate," Yingchu said with just the right amount of surprise and awe on his face, "I don't know why the magistrate is here?"

Wang Zhide looked at the handsome young man in front of him. His thin skin and tender flesh made him look like a pampered young master. He behaved elegantly and politely, like a scholar.

Wang Zhide didn't see any doubts from the young man, so he looked past him and looked behind him.A tall and slender woman was holding a child, hiding behind the young man shyly, her face was half down, only half of her profile could be seen clearly, but it was enough to tell that she was a beautiful woman.

Wang Zhide shifted his gaze to Yingchu again, looked carefully at Yingchu again, his eyebrows frowned, did he suspect wrong?No matter how you look at it, this person has nothing in common with Hua Qinghe.He had met Hua Qinghe in the capital, not to mention his appearance, and his height.

"My lord?" Yingchu looked even more puzzled.

Wang Zhide withdrew his scrutiny, his eyes still full of oppression: "I heard that you are from the capital, where are you from in the capital? What do you do at home? Why do you want to go to the East China Sea?"

Yingchu said the words he had prepared a long time ago: "Caomin's family lives in Taoyuan Lane, Ximulin Street, Beijing City. The family has a meager property and earns a living by collecting rent. A few months ago, my father died of illness. Before he died, he left a will to return to the ancestral land. Burial in the East China Sea, Caomin sent my father's ashes back to the ancestral land this time."

There is indeed a family named Yan living in Taoyuan Lane, West Mulin Street, Beijing, and the family situation is generally the same as she said.It's just that she took the place of Young Master Yan's family of three and went out. The real Young Master Yan's family is living in a mansion of half a gold.Therefore, her identity is aboveboard, and she is not afraid of anyone's investigation.

Yingchu asked suspiciously: "Why did Mr. Wang come here to question the Caomin himself? Could it be that the Caomin is suspected of being bandits? The Caomin are people from a good family. They came all the way from the capital and passed by here. They are by no means criminals and bandits!"

"Mr. Yan, don't get excited," Wang Zhide looked overbearing, but his tone was gentle, "I'm from the capital, and the son of an old friend has the same name as yours, so I came here to ask about something about bandits and water bandits. It doesn't matter."

Yingchu breathed a sigh of relief: "I see. It's a pity that my father doesn't have such a distinguished friend as Mr. Wang, and Cao Min is not the person Mr. Wang is looking for."

"You guys have the same name, it's fate. It's rare that we met in Guangyi Town thousands of miles away, so it's also fate." Wang Zhide said, "I wonder if I could invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Yingchu showed a flattered expression, and then said regretfully: "Thanks to Mr. Wang for looking after it, but Caomin's wife and daughter are not in good health, I'm afraid I will give you the sickness."

At this time, it would be best to agree to Wang Zhide, but this person has keen observation skills and is not easy to fool. Now he is only fooled for a while. If he really stays with him for a long time, he will definitely be seen.
