Chapter 1613 Innkeeper
Chapter 1613 Innkeeper
Yan Ruyu was thinking, what a coincidence.
I don’t know who these two people are.
Then two waiters came up to him and said, "Boss, you're back."
"Young master!"
It turned out that they were father and son, and the man in brocade clothes was the owner of the inn.
He is both the boss and the shopkeeper, so he is called many things.
The young man is his son.
Yinding came over and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, Princess, that is the innkeeper, his name is Li Sugui, and his son is Li Wanglin."
As he spoke, Li Sugui dismounted and came in front of everyone.
"Everyone, don't panic. The bodies of the six members of the troupe have been brought back. I will ask a master to help the dead souls to rest in peace later. I believe everyone will be able to set off soon."
When everyone heard this, their anxious mood was calmed down a lot.
No matter what, the murder was not committed by the inn, nor did it happen in the inn. They are already kind and righteous by helping out.
Li Sugui said, "I know that you are all worried about being trapped here, and some of you have limited money. So, from today onwards, for those who dare not leave for the time being, the accommodation fee can be waived, and the meal fee can be halved."
There was a sudden sound of joy among the crowd.
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Li!"
"Thank you for your generosity, shopkeeper."
Li Sugui nodded and said to his men, "Carry all these bodies to the other side of the ravine. When the government officials come, take them away so that they can rest in peace."
"Yes."
The guys quickly got busy, and Li Sugui brought his son into the inn.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe watched coldly.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Huo Changhe shook his head: "I can't tell anything for now, but judging from his expression, this man is righteous and doesn't look like a bad guy."
"But don't judge a book by its cover."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Indeed, some people are good at acting, and there are quite a few who are superb. I don't look at the person, I only look at what he does."
"I heard that he often performs heroic deeds and helps passers-by in distress. This is not surprising. Collecting the bodies of the dead and praying for their salvation is also a heroic act of a man of the world."
"But," Yan Ruyu paused, "I have to wait until we see the six corpses in the troupe before we say anything."
This is not the right time.
Let’s go back to the inn first and meet Uncle Sima again.
"Don't worry," Huo Changhe said, "If you want to go forward, you can only go through the valley. If you want to go back, you will have to walk for two more days."
Yan Ruyu took over the conversation: "If someone did it on purpose, even if we turn back and change the route, other accidents will happen. Instead of running around, not knowing what the future holds, it is better to rest here and wait and see what happens."
Master Sima nodded: "Your Highness and Princess are right. We will wait here."
Huo Changhe comforted him: "Don't worry, I have brought enough people with me. Some of them have already checked into the inn and will definitely protect you."
Uncle Sima clasped his hands together, his eyes slightly red, and said nothing more.
No words could express his gratitude at this moment.
He secretly swore in his heart that no matter what the fate of the Sima family would be after coming to Beijing, the kindness of the Zhennan Palace would be known to the whole family and remembered in their hearts, passed down from generation to generation, and never forgotten.
If I could regain my original position in the court and have a say in the future, I would definitely petition the court to clear the name of the Zhennan Palace and clear its grievances.
Huo Changhe took Yan Ruyu back to their yard. Since there was nothing to do for the time being, he let her rest for a while.
No one dared to leave the inn for a while, and no other murders would happen for the time being.
They also have to wait for the right time to check the body.
Yan Ruyu said she was not sleepy, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, she immediately felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
She had been worried before, but now that the Sima family had been found and Huo Changhe was by her side, she no longer had any worries.
However, the sleep was not restful.
Not long after falling asleep, she dreamed of the woman who looked like her again.
The scene this time was similar to the previous two times: an unknown village, a raging fire, cries all around, and corpses scattered all over the ground.
Yan Ruyu stood by the road at the entrance of the village, watching everything happen, unable to do anything.
When she saw the woman in white running towards her with the child in her arms, her heart tightened again.
For some reason, she always felt that there must be some kind of connection between her and this woman, not just because of their similar looks.
Just when the woman was about to run out, Yan Ruyu actually knew very well that she could not run out.
You will be trapped again by the banners falling from the sky.
As expected, several banners trapped her again.
Yan Ruyu slowly withdrew her outstretched hand.
However, at this moment, someone shouted, "Catch her, she is a witch, not a goddess!"
Yan Ruyu suddenly opened her eyes, and this time, she said one more sentence than before.
Witch, goddess.
Two completely different evaluations.
The black shadow came again with a special small drum in hand, and then everything turned into mist and disappeared.
Yan Ruyu suddenly woke up, stroking her forehead, her hands covered in cold sweat.
Looking around, there was still fog. She let out a sigh of relief, realizing that she was still in a dream.
After taking a few deep breaths, his body froze again.
Pinch your palms lightly - this is not a dream.
It was in her space. She stood up, looked around, and walked around. Yes, she was indeed in space, not a dream.
There was fog in the space.
When did it happen? When I first came in to rest, everything was normal, and there was no fog at all.
Yan Ruyu's heart was beating like a drum, thinking back to the dream she had just had. Could it be that all this was related to that dream?
The influence of this dream was so great that it even caused changes in her space.
She thought for a moment and called the abbot.
The abbot had just come out of the governor's mansion. Because he had to work at night, he had to greet Governor Cao in advance to avoid scaring others early the next morning in case there were any rumors that were not conducive to road construction.
First, inform the government and then make an official statement to prevent rumors from happening.
As soon as I got on the carriage, I felt the vibration and hurried in to connect it.
Not to mention, he was quite nervous, mainly because Yan Ruyu was not at home and she was quite far away from home. Moreover, the phone calls came every so often. The abbot had a feeling that this matter might not be easy to resolve.
Ever since they traveled through time and space and reunited, this rookie has never been separated from Yan Ruyu for a long time, and the manor is also his territory.
But this time is a little different. He has always been protected by Yan Ruyu. Now that Yan Ruyu is gone, he feels a little nervous.
"Ruyu, what's wrong?"
Yan Ruyu asked: "Has your space changed?"
The abbot looked around: "Changes? What changes?"
"There shouldn't be any major changes. As for minor changes, I haven't noticed them yet. I just came out of the Governor's Mansion and haven't been in the space for a long time."
Yan Ruyu exhaled lightly: "Then there should be no change. I mean the fog and the like, which can be seen at a glance."
“Oh, then no,” the abbot replied immediately.
He paused, thinking of something: "What happened to you? Ruyu, are you okay?"
