Hearing what the two said, Shuo Ling frowned slightly, then pulled his horse to a stop.
Li Qiye naturally heard it, and then he got off his horse and ran to the two old men, "Two old men, in which town did the thing you just mentioned happen?"
"It's the town in front of you. If you turn around and walk straight ahead, you can see that town." Hearing Mo Li ask, an old man looked at him and then pointed to the road ahead and said to him.
Then the old man asked warily, "Seeing as you are not locals, why are you asking about this?"
"Oh, that's it. We came from other places to do business, but who knew that the imperial city had closed its gates. I heard what the two old men said just now. I guess that town is not far from here, so I thought of resting there. In a few days, wait for the city gate to open before entering the city." Mo Li said with a smile at this time.
The two old men were relieved after hearing this, and nodded immediately, "So that's the case, but you two young masters should think about it carefully. A murder just happened in that town, and everyone in the town is panicked."
"Thank you, old man, for reminding us. We will be careful." After hearing what the old man said, Li Li said again.
Then Mo Li walked to Shuo Ling.
"Master Hou, are we going to that town next?" Mo Li looked at Shuo Ling and asked.
Shuo Ling thought for a moment and then nodded.
Then the two of them walked in the direction mentioned by the two old men.
In less than a moment of burning incense, we arrived at the town the two old men had mentioned.
"Master Marquis, why don't I go to the town and take a look?" When they arrived at the town, Mo Li asked Shuoling.
Shuo Ling shook his head, "No, just go in!"
After saying that, he got off the horse first and led the horse towards the town.
Maybe something happened in the town, or maybe the weather was too cold and not many people were walking outside.
Not far after I walked in, I saw a wreath and other things placed in front of a store.
It must be this one.
Then Shuo Ling walked straight to the door of the shop.
I saw a coffin standing directly opposite the door. A woman and a child, covered in mourning clothes, were kneeling in front of it, sobbing softly.
There was an elderly woman and a man who looked to be in his teens, both of whom looked very unhappy.
Standing next to the old woman was the inn boy.
At this time, the young man saw two people at the door, looked at the old woman, and walked outside.
"Please ask the two gentlemen to stay elsewhere, our shop is closed." The young man looked at the two of them and said.
Li Qiye hurriedly said, "We are not here to stay in the hotel. We want to ask you a few things."
"What... what happened?" After hearing this, the boy's eyes couldn't help but dodge, and then asked.
Li Li looked at the room at this time, and then said, "Can I take a step to talk?"
Seeing that the young man didn't respond, Li Li continued, "Don't worry, we are just asking you a few things, don't be afraid."
"Yeah." The young man turned his head and looked inside the room, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
He had promised the shopkeeper that he would not let others know about his family affairs. When he saw the two people coming directly to them, he felt that these two people came with bad intentions.
In order not to put the innkeeper's family in danger, the young man thought about it and agreed.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, Li Qiye stopped.
At this time, the boy looked at Shuo Ling behind Mo Li and couldn't help but shudder. Then he asked Mo Li, "You... what do you want to ask?"
"How did your shopkeeper die?" Li Li asked directly.
After hearing this, the young man couldn't help but froze. Sure enough, his eyes dodged slightly and he said, "My shopkeeper suddenly fell ill, and he didn't have time to get treatment, so..."
"Are you telling the truth?" Before the boy could finish speaking, Li Moli interrupted him, looked at him and asked.
Hearing what Li Qiye said, the boy's legs couldn't help but feel weak, "Yes... it's true."
"I heard that two women's bodies were found near you, do you know the reason?" Seeing the young man say this, Li Li stopped asking and asked again.
The young man's face turned pale after hearing this, and then he knelt down and kowtowed to Mo Li, "Sir, I really don't know, I really don't know!"
"Then do you know where the two corpses are buried?" Li Li saw that the young man was so timid and panicked after asking a few questions, so he took the opportunity to ask again.
After hearing this, the young man stopped and continued, "It was in the woods near the town. The villagers found it when they passed by."
"Which side?" Mo Li then asked.
The boy raised his head and pointed in a direction, then lowered his head again.
Mo Li looked at Shuo Ling at this time, Shuo Ling raised his eyebrows, then got on the horse and ran in the direction pointed by the young man.
Then Li Li took one look at the young man, then got on his horse and chased after him.
When he didn't hear the sound of horse hooves, the boy raised his head and stood up from the ground.
Although it was freezing outside, the boy was covered in sweat. He was really scared just now.
After he regained his composure, the little guy stood up.
"Why have you been out for so long? What have you been doing?" the old woman asked the young man as soon as he entered the door.
The young man had already thought of his words and said, "The two people just now were not locals. They asked me about the location of another inn, so I took them there."
The old woman nodded after hearing this and didn't ask anything.
And Shuo Ling rode out of the town and ran straight in the direction pointed by the young man.
After not riding very far, there was indeed a woods. Then Shuo Ling got off his horse, tied the horse to a tree nearby, and walked into the woods.
All the leaves in the woods have fallen off. It rained heavily yesterday, and the woods were pure white.
You can't see what's going on on the ground at all.
Not far into the woods, Mo Li pointed to a seemingly low-lying land in front of him and said, "Master Marquis, do you think it's over there
Shuo Ling looked at where Mo Li was speaking, then walked forward and drew out his sword.
Then he walked to the low-lying area and shoveled the snow aside with his sword.
Mo Li then came over and started working with Shuo Ling.
After a while, Mo Li saw a corner of clothes over there and said, "Master Marquis, look."
Shuo Ling raised his head at this time and looked towards Mo Li.
At this time, Mo Li threw the sword in his hand aside, and then squatted down to dig aside the snow with his hands.
Shuo Ling immediately walked forward, squatted down, and looked at the corners of his clothes that were gradually exposed. Shuo Ling couldn't help but be startled.
If he remembered correctly, these clothes belonged to Yang Zijin and she had worn them before.
Seeing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help but hurriedly dig out the snow, thinking in his heart, it's impossible, it's impossible.
And Li Qiye also realized something was wrong at this time, so he quickly started digging.
After the two bodies were dug out, the bodies of the two women were found face down.
When Mo Li saw this, he was about to turn his body over, but was stopped by Shuo Ling.
I saw Shuo Ling walking forward gently at this time and turning the body over.
After seeing the corpse turned over, Shuo Ling's brows relaxed. It was not his Zi Jin, but a person wearing Zi Jin's clothes.
It seems that Zijin is safe now.
Then Shuo Ling came up from the pit and clapped his hands gently.
Presumably, Zi Jin has already connected with his aunt in these few days.
As long as his Zi Jin is fine, that's fine.
However, it seems from this incident that Yan Ji is going to kill Yang Zijin.
Thinking of this, Shuo Ling's eyes were cold at this moment, and the temperature around him dropped several degrees in an instant.
Yanji, you are not going to die soon!
"Master Marquis, what should we do next?" Mo Li also walked up from the pit at this time and asked Shuoling.
Shuo Ling frowned slightly at this time, and then said, "Contact the bank and find someone to ask for directions."
"Yes, Lord Marquis," Mo Li responded with his hands raised, then put his fingers in his mouth and blew the whistle towards the sky.
After a while, I saw a pigeon flying over, and then the pigeon landed on a branch nearby.
At this time, Mo Li stepped forward, grabbed the pigeon, and then plucked out a hair from the tail of the pigeon and threw the pigeon into the sky.
The dove flew away.
Shuoling's banks are spread all over the country, and the reason for this is to collect information from all parties.
"Master Hou, it's ready." Mo Li walked up to Shuo Ling and said.
Shuo Ling nodded and walked out of the woods.
Yang Zijin should have met up with his aunt by now. Judging by the time, he should have gone to look for the treasure by now.
Now he only needs to find out their general whereabouts to find her.
After walking out of the woods, Shuo Ling took off the reins of the sleeping horse.
Then he jumped on his horse.
It was still early now, so Shuo Ling walked towards the town just now.
Find a place to stay in the town and wait for the people from the bank to come find them.
Uncle Liu, who was heading to Jihan Mountain at this time, had already arrived at the foot of Jihan Mountain.
At this time, Uncle Liu put down the dry food and a large cotton-padded coat that he had exchanged for horses in the town ahead. Then he looked up and saw only a vast expanse of white, not the top of the mountain.
Uncle Liu knew that it would take at least half a month to find the snow lotus on this extremely cold mountain, and horses could not go up the mountain.
So they gave the horses dry food and cotton clothes.
Uncle Liu took a breath at this time, and white mist floated out. Although the weather was hot and cold now, he was still sweating after carrying so many things here.
After resting for a while, Uncle Liu stood up, packed the dry food in the medicine box, and began to walk step by step towards the extremely cold mountain.
It snowed heavily yesterday. Every step I took, the snow buried my knees. It was not easy to go up the extremely cold mountain.
After walking for a while, Uncle Liu couldn't help but feel a little strenuous. Then he raised his head and looked up again, and then walked up again.
When he was tired, Uncle Liu put down the medicine box, sat on it and rested for a while. After he had rested, he continued walking up.
At this time, Yang Zijin and the others also gathered together.
Seeing that everyone was catching up, Yan Luo got out of the carriage.
