"Then what did you guys do?" Since Situ Wen said so, there must be something wrong.
Chapter 5 Fake Officials
?Chapter 5 False Officials
"Let's go back to the room, we need to load the stuff first." Situ Wen smiled mysteriously, and after beckoning to Xiaohuan, she dragged Song Wuya upstairs.
Xiaohuan stayed to tell Xiao Er about the meal, and the three of them went back to the room first.
Back in the room, after Situ Wen asked Bai Zhuo to close the door, she immediately asked mysteriously, "Guess what we found out today?"
"Miss Situ, have you really found a new clue?" Bai Zhuo was suddenly surprised.
Just now Song Wuya said that he had told Situ Wen before that they would not have left the inn if it was not an urgent matter.Now hearing Situ Wen's mysterious tone, she immediately knew in her heart that they must have made a new discovery.
"What do you need to say? Do you think we went out to drink tea like you? And you were scared to run all over the street!" Situ Wen gave him an angry look and said.
These words made Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo smile wryly.
She and Xiaohuan also saw the scene where they were at the tea stand just now.
"Since you saw us, why don't you go over?" Bai Zhuo was embarrassed by Situ Wen's teasing.
"Xiaohuan and I are still following other people! How do we say hello to you?" Situ Wen didn't bother to joke with Bai Zhuo anymore, and talked about business.
"Following others?" Song Wuya was taken aback.
He didn't expect that Situ Wen and Xiaohuan went out to follow other people.This is really a strange thing. What did the two of them notice, and they even went to follow others on the street.
"Yes! Following others." Situ Wen nodded.
"Then who are you following? Could it be the two of us?" Song Wuya said jokingly, wondering who Situ Wen and the others were following.
Situ Wen waved her hand: "Following you? Xiaohuan and I don't have that kind of free time. We are following yesterday's murderer!"
"Yesterday's murderer? Those fake officials?" Situ Wen's words surprised Song Wuya.
"That's right! It's them." Situ Wen's answer was very affirmative without any hesitation.
This really shocked Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, the two of them looked at each other, sat down quickly and waited for Situ Wen to tell them the whole story.
Situ Wen also sat down and talked about their discovery.
"Originally, when we went downstairs just now, we were going to ask Xiaoer to prepare meals. But who knows, just as we went downstairs, we saw a group of people passing by. The package. When passing by the door of the inn, I bumped into a pedestrian. Just like that, there was a little quarrel, and I pushed and pulled a few times."
"Miss, the food is ready." Xiaohuan came back and interrupted Situ Wen.
Situ Wen nodded, and continued: "Xiaohuan and I were also curious, so we took a few more glances. Xiaohuan was still sharp-eyed, and after seeing the pedestrian tugging, some of the things were exposed in the package of the person being pulled. The corner of the clothes. The style of the corners of the clothes, one can tell that it is the clothes of the officials. Not only that, but his companion immediately stuffed it back for him when he saw it. It just broke up. Obviously there are official clothes, but they are still hidden in the package in such a sneaky way. This reminds me of what happened yesterday. Listen to Wu Ya, those officials are pretended by others, That’s how I followed out.”
"So that's what happened!"
After Situ Wen said this, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo finally understood what happened.
Since Situ Wen followed them out, she must know where they went, Song Wuya immediately asked: "Then where did they go?"
"I don't know. Xiaohuan and I followed to the gate of the city, and they left the city. There are so many of them, how dare Xiaohuan and I, two weak girls, follow out again!" Situ Wen shook her head, feeling a little helpless Said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuo became anxious: "Miss Situ, you should have gone to find us at that time! Let's go out with them and see what they are going to do! With Brother Wuya's skill, maybe we can catch one or two back! !"
"You still have the nerve to say it. You think I didn't expect that Xiaohuan and I just arrived at the tea stall and were about to call you, who knew that the two of you ran away without a trace. Xiaohuan and I couldn't even catch up. Come on, how can you go follow those people outside the city?" Situ Wen gave him a hard look, and her words were full of anger.
It turned out to be such a coincidence that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were immediately embarrassed.But at this time, such a situation happened.
Bai Zhuo immediately slapped the table, frowned and sighed: "Hey! How could it be such a coincidence! What a pity! I finally found those guys and let them run away!"
Song Wuya looked at Bai Zhuo's annoyed look, and immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Bai, why are you worrying about this? Do you really think they ran away? They will definitely come back again."
"Already left the city? Are they going to come back and kill people?" Bai Zhuo was dumbfounded by Song Wuya's words.
Song Wuya nodded: "Didn't you hear what Wen'er said? They have the official's clothes in the package, so it can be seen that the official's clothes are still useful to them. If they plan to escape from the city, it's not just right to wear the clothes pretending to be an official." With their evidence? Why take such a risk?"
"Hiss! So, they have something to do when they leave the city?" Bai Zhuo felt that Song Wuya's words made sense.
"Hmm! I think it's likely to go to the Niu's racecourse!" Song Wuya immediately thought of the Niu's racecourse. After all, it is outside the city, and the place they want to go can only be found here with the help of an official. able to go in.
"That's really great! It seems that those big salt merchants behind the scenes are also feeling perplexed. This is going to attack the Niu Family Racecourse!" Bai Zhuo clapped his hands and applauded. He was still worried about working so hard just now. What will be the effect.
Well now, even if those salt merchants didn't listen to their words and went to Shaoniu's racecourse, then these fake officials would definitely make trouble.
"The racecourse! It seems that they also know that the salt was transported to the racecourse by Master Niu!" Song Wuya had a smile on his face, after all, this was the only purpose for these people to leave the city.
At this moment, he didn't feel that the matter had become complicated and contradictory, but instead felt that it was getting more and more interesting.
It can be seen that these fake officials are not from the Niu family.Then the matter of the dead man yesterday can be said to have caught the Niu family by surprise.And what they do next, I'm afraid it will also distress the Niu family.
"These big salt merchants also hate the Niu family to the core! They failed to bring down the Niu family, and they are still very unconvinced!" Bai Zhuo was very happy when he heard this. It's all about gloating.
"Just wait and see what happens!" Song Wuya still said the same thing.
Now is not the time to be in a hurry, things will get lively soon.The Niu family will soon be distressed, and the election of the helmsman will obviously not go so smoothly.
As long as things get so big, it may not be certain whether the Niu family will choose a new helmsman.At that time, Yu Chun will tell Mr. Niu what he heard from Song Wuya today, and this Mr. Niu may not think of these things to the salt merchant, and it will definitely end up as a dog bites a dog.
"Okay, let's wait and see what happens. Let's see what exciting things can happen tomorrow." Bai Zhuo nodded. Although he was impatient, he could only wait patiently.
Not long after, the waiter in the shop brought the food, and the four of them sat around the table and ate.
"By the way, Wu Ya, you mentioned the Niu family's racecourse before. So it seems that the fire in the Niu family's warehouse was indeed set by the Niu family themselves, and they also transferred the private salt to the racecourse?" Before long, Situ Wen asked Song Wuya about his doubts.
Song Wuya nodded and said in affirmation: "This is certain. After we went to the racecourse that day, we noticed something unusual in the other's fodder room. If there is no accident, those private salts were hidden behind the fodder."
"Then today's fake officials are running away for those private salts. Shouldn't they still kill and set fire?" Situ Wen had a lot of questions, and asked again around the racecourse.
Song Wuya was really not sure what method they used to obtain these private salts.But the matter of murder and arson must be the simplest.
But there is also one point, if they want to act, it must be at night.There is a lot of private salt, and the transportation must be carried by horse-drawn carriage.It's hard to say where these smuggled salts will go by land.If it is said that murder and arson are used to cover up these, maybe after they get the private salt, they don't need to be so long-winded.
"If the purpose of those fake officials is private salt, then after they get the private salt, they don't need to set fire." Song Wuya said.
Killing people is certain. After all, there are so many Niu family members in the racecourse, they will not just watch their things being taken away by others.
Situ Wen nodded, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Then the Niu family hid the private salt in the racecourse, could it be goods for others?"
"It's hard to say! Those private salts are also worth a lot of money, but they can't meet the needs of many salt merchants in this city. As for their burning warehouses, it's not clear what their purpose is. I guessed before They may want to use this trick to deceive us and Wuliangjiao at the same time. But looking at it now, they may have cooperated with Wuliangjiao. If this is the case, then everything here will be left to Wuliangjiao .”
After all, the matter is not particularly clear, so Song Wuya can't say it well.He had made a lot of judgments before, but they were just judgments after all, not to mention that there were some things they couldn't be sure of, and there were many loopholes in this judgment.
Therefore, everything is hard to say now, and we can only wait for things to become more chaotic.
