Chapter 283 Heading to Huazhou, Barren Mountain Inn
"You have come back at the right time. Let's pack up and let's go to Huazhou!" Hang Tianyi said.
Zhang Chenyu and Li Chunlai are both the best among the brothers who catch the police. One is good at talismans and seals, and the other has extraordinary attainments in formations. If you bring them along, you will definitely be able to use them at critical moments.
When the two of them heard this, they were both shocked. After all, Huazhou was two thousand miles away.
"What are you going to do?" Li Chunlai asked subconsciously. He was the most reluctant to spend money. Going so far away, even if he saved some money, it was obviously impossible without dozens of taels of silver.
Hang Tianyi said: "Go and investigate the case!"
"That money..." Li Chunlai was really honest.
Hang Tianyi said: "I'll go talk to Mr. Fu Yin!"
When Li Chunlai heard this, his expression suddenly softened, as long as it didn't cost him money, that would be fine.
When Sima Sheng learned that Hang Tianyi was going to Huazhou, he did not stop him. He directly gave him two hundred taels of silver and warned, "Brother Hang, be careful!"
"Thank you for your concern, sir!" Hang Tianyi was so happy as he carried the heavy amount of silver. Two hundred taels of silver, this Lord Fu Yin is too generous.
"You're welcome, I will go to the palace and ask you to send an imperial edict to Huazhou so that the local officials can cooperate with you!" Sima Sheng added.
This is truly useful help. Hang Tianyi was a little moved in his heart. No matter what the purpose, Sima Sheng's actions were extremely warm to him.
Having already thanked him before, instead of continuing to say those useless polite words, Hang Tianyi just nodded.
Coming out of Sima Sheng's room, Hang Tianyi saw Liu Ying, Zhang Chenyu and Li Chunlai waiting outside.
"Do you want to bring other brothers?" Liu Ying asked.
Hang Tianyi said: "This time we have to borrow the power of the local government to bring people there from the capital, which is unrealistic!"
"Yes, the capital needs manpower, and the cost is also a big problem!" Zhang Chenyu said.
Hang Tianyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty has already solved the expense problem for us. I just hope to go to Huazhou to investigate the case and find the lost children!"
"Sir, you are so wise!" Li Chunlai was extremely happy. After all, he was eating and drinking for free.
When Hang Tianyi saw Li Chunlai like that, he really wanted to kick him in the face.
"Go and bring the horse over!" Hang Tianyi really doesn't want to see this guy.
"Okay!" Li Chunlai agreed and ran over to lead the horse.
Liu Ying said to Hang Tianyi: "Do you want to tell your family?"
"Of course I have to say that!" Hang Tianyi said.
Not long after, Li Chunlai came over with his horse.
After Hang Tianyi and Liu Ying went home, they met up with them outside the city gate.
Huazhou is two thousand miles away from the capital and is located in the southeast of the capital.
Hang Tianyi and four others, riding horses, galloped on the official road.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, but the three of them, Hang Tianyi, ran non-stop and were less than a thousand miles away.
Hang Tianyi was really anxious. The opportunity was fleeting. If the circus people left in Huazhou and the local government was unable to seize the opportunity, it would be a big mistake.
In addition, I don’t know whether the imperial edict requested by Sima Sheng was sent to Huazhou.
Without an imperial edict, it would obviously be difficult for just a few of them to get help from local officials.
While thinking about it, at the foot of the mountain ahead, several houses came into view, but it was an inn.
There is no village in front of this place, and not a single family in the back. It's getting dark again, and Hang Tianyi and the others have no choice but to stay here.
Those who can open an inn here are obviously not ordinary people. Hang Tianyi and the four of them are extremely vigilant.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a goatee and his eyes narrow into a line from time to time. At first glance, he looks like an extremely shrewd person.
"Stay in the hotel, and prepare some food for us!" Hang Tianyi ordered.
The shopkeeper nodded and then ordered the waiter to prepare.
This place is in the mountains, and apart from the vegetables, the other meat dishes are all game.
Hang Tianyi thought it tasted pretty good and took off his chopsticks a little faster.
"Eat quickly and rest early. We have a long journey tomorrow!" Hang Tianyi said.
Without his reminder, Liu Ying, Zhang Chenyu, and Li Chunlai all knew that they were in a hurry, so they nodded subconsciously.
Just then, someone else came to stay at the hotel.
At first glance, these people are from the Jianghu. The leader is a one-eyed dragon with a ghost-headed sword on his shoulder.
The two people following him were emaciated, one wielded a spear, the other wielded a lance, and both were in the state of concentration.
"Shopkeeper, bring me a jar of wine and some of your specialty dishes!" The one-eyed dragon's voice was very loud, and every move he made had the aura of a man in the world.
"Okay!" the shopkeeper agreed and told the waiter to get the wine, while he went to ask the kitchen to cook.
The three of them were sitting not far from Hang Tianyi and the others. They glanced at the four Hang Tianyi and ignored them, obviously treating them as people in the world.
After finishing the meal, Hang Tianyi and the four of them went up to the second floor to rest, but at this moment, someone else came.
This is an old man with a hunched body. Next to him, there is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The girl is not very beautiful, but she is somewhat pretty.
The three one-eyed dragons glanced at the girl, and then at the hunched old man, with blazing colors flashing in their eyes.
The old man looked like an ordinary person, and the girl looked like an ordinary person, needless to say.
"Grandpa, why don't we go!" the girl said. At this time, the looks of the three people made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Let's go? It's so late. There are many jackals in the deep mountains. Let's rest here for one night and continue our journey tomorrow morning!" The old man's voice had an indescribable oldness.
The girl heard this and nodded. At this time, the old man shouted: "Shopkeeper, give us two rooms!"
"Okay, I wonder if our guest would like to have dinner?" the shopkeeper asked.
The old man said: "If you want to eat, I'm not a god. I'll fry two vegetarian dishes and serve two bowls of rice!"
The shopkeeper agreed and went to make arrangements.
There are only a dozen rooms in this entire inn, and Hang Tianyi and the four of them each live in one. Now these two groups have asked for five more rooms, and there are not many rooms left.
The shopkeeper runs an inn here, so business is rarely so good, so you can see his smiling face.
The waiter worked extremely hard, and soon the whole inn became lively.
Zhang Chenyu, Li Chunlai, and Liu Ying were originally going to go back to their own houses to rest, but when they saw the five people who came one after another, they had some thoughts in their minds and came to Hang Tianyi's house.
"Boss, something's not right with those three people. When they looked at that woman, their eyes were particularly hateful!" Li Chunlai said.
"Do you want to be a hero and save the beauty?" Zhang Chenyu joked.
