Chapter 62 Nightfall
"How do you protect my shop?" Rong Yue stopped joking and asked seriously.

This little beggar is not simple at first glance, it seems that he hit it by mistake, and he may have other gains today.

Rong Yue's question was clever, firstly, she was not surprised by the recent murder case in this street, and secondly, she did not underestimate the ability of this little beggar at all, on the contrary, she was very cautious.

Wei Lan stood behind Rong Yue, she was startled when she first heard the little beggar's words, she looked left and right, no one noticed their corner, so she was relieved, the two of them dared to talk too much, in broad daylight, Don't be afraid that the walls have ears.

The little beggar has a small appetite, and after eating the snack, he left half of it, holding it in his arms like a baby.

"I'm very good. With me watching tonight, nothing will happen to your store." The dirty boy was full of confidence.

Rong Yue chuckled, took out a handkerchief to wipe the debris from the corner of his mouth, and persuaded him in a gentle voice.

"You really want to repay my snacks. You don't have to take such a risk. You can just tell me what will happen at night. I have many guards at home."

"What's your name? I'll tell the shopkeeper. Next time, if you want some snacks, come here. You won't be able to eat much. I can afford it."

"Your information is very precious to me, and a snack is too little."

The little beggar stared blankly at the gentle Rong Yue, as if feeling the warmth of his mother, it was really strange, in front of him was just a picture of a little girl a few years older than him.

"My name is Nanke, can I really come and eat?"

"Yes, yes, I will come at this time tomorrow, you can come to the store to have a look."

Nan Ke grinned when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered the villain he mentioned before, with a serious face: "That group of people is not something ordinary guards can deal with, they are all dead men, they have been searching here for several months, it seems that they are looking for some secret way , whoever touches them dies."

"Didn't they find you?" Rong Yue was taken aback when she heard the dead man and the secret passage. At the same time, she also wondered how a child could escape unharmed after hearing so many secrets.

"That's why I said, I'm very good." Nan Ke rolled his eyes. Although this beautiful sister gave him delicious food, he would be angry if he looked down on the children.

"Anyway, don't take risks. Yixinju will be closed earlier today. If they want to find a secret passage, they can just look for it. It doesn't matter." Rong Yue took the opportunity to pinch Nan Ke Yuanyuan's cheeks and told him not to mess around.

"Hmph!" Nan Ke puffed his face, ran into the alley with his snacks in his arms, and disappeared after a few strokes.

this kid...

Secret passages?Could it be a secret passage leading to where?

Intuitively, this matter may involve a shocking secret.

But in the eyes of others, the current situation is just the information from the child's mouth. Even if she told Jing Zhaoyin and the Yulin Army, she might not be able to win their trust, and she would not be able to talk about supporting and arresting the criminals.

What's more, the people who can support the dead must be dignitaries in the court. If she startled the snake, she might implicate the general's mansion, and the gain outweighs the loss.

It's better to be more conservative, first inform shopkeeper Zhang to close earlier, and make preparations in the store.

After making up her mind, Rong Yue covered her bamboo hat, walked into Yixinju, and asked the shopkeeper, by the way, if there is a secret passage in the shop.

With a serious face, Wei Lan followed Rong Yue closely.

Nightfall, curfew.

A timid figure walked slowly on the corner of the street. This middle-aged man was called Wang Erfa, and he was the new watchman.

The watchman in East-West Street has always been a fat job, and it is rare that it is his turn. Before he had time to be happy, he heard about the tragic murder of the watchman a few days ago.

The murderer has not been arrested so far. I heard from my colleagues that the former watchman Yu the old man died in a terrible way. He was disembowelled.

The old man's partner was lazy to relieve himself while patrolling the streets, so he escaped, but he refused to fight any more in the future.

Now on his first day in office, Wang Erfa was really scared. If the other watchman hadn't run away and was caught and beaten to death, he would have abandoned his wife and son and fled out of the city long ago.

Left and right are dead, it is better to fight.

Watchmen usually work in groups of two, with one holding a gong and the other holding a bang.

Today, Wang Erfa, who was alone, held a set of beating equipment by himself, but he didn't dare to use force, for fear of attracting the murderer.

The more noisy the place, the more indescribable terror it felt after nightfall. The shadows on the street corner flickered with the dim light of the lanterns, and Wang Erfa almost peed his pants.

After patrolling the row of the busiest food shops on the East Street, Wang Erfa vaguely heard footsteps, and at first he thought it was his own footsteps.

But as the candlelight flickered, he noticed two shadows on the ground, one tall and one short. He was so frightened that there was a person following him all the time!

Wang Erfa knelt down and kowtowed, crying bitterly.

"Hero, spare me, I didn't see anything, I have seniors and juniors, don't kill me..."

After begging for mercy for a while, Wang Erfa waited for a while, but there was no sound, and he himself did not die.

Is it wrong?He bravely opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark, and by the moonlight he could tell that there was no one around him.

Where's his lantern?
On the other side, the back door of Yixinju, where Rong Yue parked his carriage during the day.

Nan Ke's short figure squatted in the corner, holding the lantern stolen by Wang Erfa in his hand. He is a man of his word, and he will definitely guard this dim sum shop.

This watchman is too timid, he was scared to cry by a child, how cowardly!
He didn't fully tell Rong Yue during the day, but in fact, he had already figured out the pattern of those dead men's actions, and today's disaster cannot be avoided by passive avoidance.

These dead men have already set their sights on Yixinju, and this stop is inevitable.

Fortunately, he is not a simple child. He raised his dirty arm and called out in his heart. Soon, black air diffused from his arm, and groups of black bugs flew to every corner of Yixinju.

This is a trap, a trap made up of Gu insects. These small poisonous insects look tiny, but they are extremely poisonous and die within three steps. Once someone enters, the Gu insects will attack wildly, and no one can escape.

After completing the preparations, Nan Ke blew out the lantern, found a tree and quickly climbed up to hide.

The night is dark and the wind kills the night.

When the killers are dealt with, he will take back his little ones.

Wang Erfa just found out that his life was saved, and without the lantern, he fell into a new fright. Who took the lantern?

He didn't care what work was not working, he threw down the changing tool, turned around and ran, his life was at stake.

It was also because of his fate that as soon as he ran away, several black shadows flashed out from the direction of the imperial city.

These are the real culprits of the murder case a few days ago. Who would have thought that these dead men were hiding in the imperial city.

Nan Ke held his breath, relying on his small size, he hid in a tree and observed quietly.

Sure enough, these men in black were different from the previous days. They did not search separately, but went straight to the target.

They slashed open the door latch with their palms, and the anti-theft methods of these ordinary people could not prevent these people at all.
