Chapter 6 Receiving Relatives Finally Showing Up
She just went to see what breakfast was available, but she didn't expect that there was no one in the kitchen.
She had no choice but to heat the steamed buns she bought yesterday in a large pot on the stove, and then put them in the bamboo basket she could find in the kitchen.
"After breakfast, I want to go to the backyard and see those people." Rong Jingru looked at Jin Wushuang.
"Jingru, what do you want to know?" Jin Wushuang looked at Rong Jingyao while eating steamed buns.
"I can't tell you the details right now, so I'd better ask them first!" Rong Jingru thought about how she could tell them that this was a task assigned to her by Mengmeng of the system.
Jin Wushuang nodded.
"Mother Jiang, when you went to warm up the steamed buns, did you see anyone else?" Rong Jingru raised her eyebrows.
"Think about it, old slave." Aunt Jiang said and fell into deep thought.
"By the way, I remembered it. When I walked to the first floor of the inn carrying the bamboo basket, I noticed that the escorts came down from upstairs and left the inn without making any stop."
"As for the man and woman I met yesterday when we were eating on the first floor, I didn't meet the old slave."
"I went to look in other rooms of the inn last night, but I didn't find that man and woman." Jin Wushuang added at this time.
"Then we should go to the backyard and have a look." As she said that, Rong Jingru had already finished her breakfast and was drinking water from the teacup.
"Cuihong, you and Grandma Jiang pack our luggage in the room. Wushuang and I will go to the backyard to take a look first." Rong Jingru distributed the tasks like this.
"Miss, this slave and Aunt Jiang have finished packing and will go to the backyard to find you." Cuihong nodded slightly.
…
In the backyard of the inn, the people whose acupoints were tapped by Jin Wushuang last night were still staying there, but their faces were a little gray, and they looked like they had just crawled out of a sand pit.
Rong Jingru looked at Jin Wushuang aside - what was going on with these people? They looked covered in dust.
Jin Wushuang also noticed the situation these people were in. They indeed looked more embarrassed than last night when she was tapping their acupuncture points.
Although Rong Jingru wanted to ask these people questions right away, she had already walked up to them and was looking at their faces carefully, hoping to see some flaws in them.
Those people first glared at Jin Wushuang fiercely, and then some people closed their eyes and did not want to pay attention to the woman who was sizing them up.
Rong Jingru ignored the gazes of these people and continued to look at their faces seriously.
"Wushuang, come here and take a look at the face of this female shopkeeper. Why do I think it looks a little weird?" Rong Jingru looked around from left to right and right to left.
Jin Wushuang was reminded by Rong Jingru and turned around to observe carefully.
This person looked like the female shopkeeper they met in the inn yesterday, but the expression on her face was so stiff that she looked like she was wearing a mask.
Jin Wushuang thought about it and poked the man's face, finally finding a difference at the base of his ears.
Although the man dodged for a while, because Bai Yutang had already tapped his acupuncture points, they were still able to reveal his true identity in front of them.
With a "swish" sound, the thin fishskin mask was pulled off, and a face even more charming than that of the female shopkeeper was exposed in front of them.
This face is quite beautiful, but charming to the core. If a man saw it, he would be fascinated. But unfortunately, it was Rong Jingru and Jin Wushuang who saw this face.
Rong Jingru stared at the woman in front of her and suddenly laughed, "You look like this. It's a pity to wear a mask."
"How did you find out that I'm not the female shopkeeper in the inn? I think my disguise skills are pretty good." The fake female shopkeeper then raised her eyes and took a good look at the woman in red in front of her.
"You'd better answer me a few questions first. If your answers satisfy me then, I might tell you how I found out when I'm in a good mood." Rong Jingru glanced at the fake female shopkeeper.
"You have no choice now. I believe that after one night, you must have believed that Wushuang Point's hole is not that easy to untie."
The people who were tied together by Jin Wushuang looked at each other. They had already tried every method last night, but they really couldn't get rid of it.
Who does this person hate the most right now? I'm afraid it's the two women in front of him.
One of them was tied up here before their plan could succeed; the other had her true face exposed in front of everyone.
At this time, Mother Jiang and Cuihong had already arrived at the backyard with the package.
Jin Wushuang and Rong Jingru said briefly and quickly returned to the inn where they stayed before.
When the fake female shopkeeper saw Jin Wushuang leaving, her expression returned to its previous expression.
After all, she had just seen these four people, and only the girl in white knew martial arts. The other three seemed to be just ordinary people. As long as she could find a chance to unlock the acupuncture points, she did not believe that they could not be cured.
they.
It's just that the girl in white, she still hasn't seen clearly her depth, but she knows that the girl is not simple.
When Rong Jingru saw the fake female shopkeeper's eyes moving rapidly, she knew that this person must have some bad idea again.
"Mother Jiang, Cuihong, you two go search and see what these people have with them." Rong Jingru's words made everyone who had their acupuncture points angered.
Cuihong was a little frightened when she saw the looks in those people's eyes. She paused for a moment without daring to take a step.
Rong Jingru saw Cui Hong and hurriedly reached out and patted her shoulder gently, "Cui Hong, don't be afraid, these people have been tapped by Wushuang, they can't do anything to you."
After Rong Jingru said this, Cuihong knew that these people in front of her could not threaten her at all, so she mustered up the courage to take a step forward, and followed Aunt Jiang to go forward and search these people.
"Miss, these are the things they have on them." Cuihong excitedly placed these things in front of Rong Jingru.
Rong Jingru discovered that in addition to her purse and money, there were white powder wrapped in paper, a few daggers, and a token with a pattern she couldn't understand.
The token was black and surrounded by gold rims. The figure in the middle looked a bit strange, so Rong Jingru didn't know what the figure represented for the time being.
Rong Jingru brought this white powder to her nose and smelled it carefully, but she didn't smell anything from it.
But she still carefully put it into her sleeves, preparing to find an opportunity to ask when the time came.
At this moment, Jin Wushuang came to the backyard from the inn with a heavy look on his face.
"Jin Wushuang, is the female shopkeeper dead?" Rong Jingru had a bad premonition.
Jin Wushuang nodded.
"I just saw the female shopkeeper who was already dead in her room."
"Then how did she die?" Rong Jingru was a little curious.
"I went into the house and took a look. Someone must have knocked him out with smoke first, and then strangled him to death with a very thin rope." Jin Wushuang thought for a while.
Rong Jingru felt that this was the reason why she did not smell any blood, and if people were killed alive, they would definitely resist, so she stayed in the inn and had to hear the noise no matter what.
"But what about the screams last night and the crying from behind?" Rong Jingru was a little confused.
Jin Wushuang shook her head, she didn't know either.
…
The fake female shopkeeper heard the two talking and glanced at them coldly, as if to say that they were meddling in their own business.
Rong Jingru wanted to say that if Jin Wushuang hadn't been there, the dowry on their carriage might have been stolen by the people in front of them.
All her belongings are there. If they are stolen, it will not be very convenient for her to do things in the future. After all, she still doesn't know the attitude of General Zhenbei.
Thinking about it now, Rong Jingru felt that this original body was really unlucky. First, part of the dowry was taken away by her eldest aunt, and then she had to marry Jun Linfeng, the general of Zhenbei, on behalf of her eldest aunt's biological daughter.
Now that she has arrived in northern Xinjiang, she has met this group of bad guys again. They want all of her wealth. This is not possible.
"Wushuang, do you have any good way to get these people to confess?"
Rong Jingru had just finished asking the question, and before Jin Wushuang could speak, a group of people came in from outside.
When Uncle Quan saw the bright red wedding dress Rong Jingru was wearing, he guessed that the girl in front of him was the general's wife that his master was about to marry.
But no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the girl in front of him was somewhat different from the information An San had found out when he went to Rong Mansion to investigate.
If An San hadn't brought back two portraits of the Rong family's legitimate daughter, he would have almost thought he had made a mistake.
"Your Excellency, who are you?"
Rong Jingru looked at this middle-aged man with a kind face but shrewd eyes.
As for the people following him, Rong Jingru was not simple at first glance. The aura of those people made her know that these people must have climbed out of the pile of dead people, otherwise they would not have such strong murderous intent.
"I guess this girl is Miss Rong Jingrurong!" Uncle Quan didn't expect that the girl in front of him could still keep his face calm when he saw the people behind him.
He knew that many maids in their mansion did not dare to approach the general and the people around him because the evil spirit was too strong.
"How do you know my name?" Rong Jingru was a little confused.
"Aren't you the person sent by General Jun Linfeng of Zhenbei to pick me up?" Rong Jingru thought for a moment and then said.
"Madam, you really guessed it right." Uncle Quan looked at Rong Jingru approvingly.
Rong Jingru didn't expect that her name for him would change so quickly. After all, she hadn't paid homage to his general yet.
Jin Wushuang didn't speak the whole time, just holding the ancient black iron sword and looking at the people opposite him quietly.
"You can call me Uncle Quan. I am the steward of the Zhenbei General's Mansion." Uncle Quan said.
"Uncle Quan, I wonder how you knew I had arrived in Northern Xinjiang?" Rong Jingru was a little confused.
Uncle Quan gave Rong Jingru a meaningful look.
Only then did Rong Jingru realize that in Jun Linfeng's eyes, she was like a transparent person, and nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
Rong Jingru just nodded slightly and pointed at those people tied with ropes.
"Can you take them all back? I still want to ask then?"
Uncle Quan thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
He waved his hand behind him, and someone stepped forward and took these people away.
Cuihong had never seen such momentum before. She hid behind Nanny Jiang in a panic and held her sleeves tightly.
"Don't be afraid, those people are all my uncle's men." Although Aunt Jiang was a little scared herself, she still comforted her in a low voice.
"Host, you won't get a reward for doing this." Mengmeng's cute, lolita-like voice sounded in Rong Jingru's mind.
Rong Jingru knew what Mengmeng meant, but now she had no time to pay attention to her.
After all, she hasn't asked what she wants to ask yet, but the fake female shopkeeper doesn't speak, so she hasn't come up with any good ideas yet.
…
When the carriage Rong Jingru was riding in appeared at the gate of Zhenbei General's Mansion, it still attracted the attention and onlookers of curious people.
