FWF Chapter 171 Investigation in the City
Chapter 171 Investigation in the City
Sun Guangmin knew right away that this matter was not simple, and the murderous intention hidden in these rumors was all aimed at him.
"Staff Zhang, this matter is very serious. The reputation that our Northern Army has just established may be completely ruined because of these rumors. In addition, it is easy to shake the morale of the Northern Army. We are going to investigate this matter secretly. "
"Okay, young commander, let's go now."
Sun Guangmin took back the paper man Yin soldiers, and left Qifeng Mountain with the fat Taoist priest.
After the two returned to the Marshal's Mansion, they took off their military uniforms, put on simple make-up, and put on civilian clothes.
Then, Sun Guangmin and the fat Taoist took advantage of the darkness and went directly to the main street of Fengcheng.
At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and almost every household was closed for rest, and there were few pedestrians on the street.
In addition, the shops on both sides of the street are basically closed, only the inn and brothel are still open.
"Young Marshal, this Hongfu Inn is relatively prosperous, with a lot of traffic, why don't we go in and investigate."
After the fat Taoist made a suggestion, Sun Guangmin looked at the Hongfu Inn by the side of the road. It had two floors and was luxuriously decorated. It was one of the best inns in Fengcheng.
"Well, let's go in, but we'd better not reveal our identities, otherwise we might not hear the truth."
"Understood, everything is arranged by the young marshal."
The two of them walked into the Hongfu Inn while the two were talking. The waiter at the inn saw someone, and shouted: "You two are invited, do you want to stay in the inn?"
"No, let's get something to eat."
The fat Taoist responded.
The second floor of the inn is housing, and part of the first floor is a restaurant, which is for the customers who live in the inn, but it can also receive customers from outside. Usually, people who eat supper will go to Hongfu Inn for dinner at night.
"Okay, please, what do you want to eat?" the waiter asked enthusiastically.
"Just a few signature dishes, hurry up."
After Sun Guangmin answered briefly, he was already sitting at a table.
At this time, in the restaurant of the inn, there were three tables and customers eating.
Sun Guangmin and the fat Taoist sat for a while, when they heard two people chatting at a table next to them.
"Hey, have you heard? Recently, everyone is telling about the Fuso ninja?"
"I heard that this matter is the biggest hot topic, and almost everyone in the city knows about it."
"Do you think the young commander of the Northern Army can be this kind of person? The Fusang ninja was scared into a turtle, hehe."
"It's hard to say, the Fusang ninja is indeed very strong. As for the young commander of the Northern Army, we have never seen whether he is capable or not."
The fat Taoist was very angry when he heard this, and wanted to slap the table and curse, but was stopped by Sun Guangmin, who immediately gave him a wink to tell the fat Taoist to continue listening.
"Those Fusang ninjas have a lot of background. It seems that they came to our country for some special purpose. If the young commanders of the Northern Army are scared, then we will be out of luck. Everyone, hurry up and escape from Fengcheng."
"Why run away?"
"You think, if the Fusang ninja came to Fengcheng, the young commander ran away in fright, and left us to suffer. Why don't you run away quickly and wait to be killed by the Fusang ninja?"
"That's right, that's the truth."
"Hey, we are really unlucky to have such a young handsome."
Sun Guangmin was slightly angry, but he didn't show it. He just said flatly, "Staff Zhang, let's go."
Sun Guangmin said that he had already left, and the fat Taoist was a little disappointed: "I said, the dishes are all ordered, don't we want to eat?"
"Shop waiter, checkout."
The fat Taoist took out two silver dollars, put them on the table, and then walked out of the inn to chase after Sun Guangmin.
"Staff Zhang, now the rumors are spreading all over the city, which is very bad for our Northern Army, and the soldiers of the Northern Army should also hear these rumors, which will lead to the demoralization of the army."
"Young commander, what shall we do?"
Sun Guangmin didn't say anything, but walked forward quickly while thinking about countermeasures.
"Let's go, go back to the commander's mansion first, and I'll think of a way."
After Sun Guangmin gave an order, the two immediately returned to the Marshal's Mansion, and Sun Guangmin returned to his room. At the same time, he called Xue Ji over.
"Young commander, if you have any orders, please tell me."
Xue Ji said very respectfully.
"Well, there have been rumors in Fengcheng recently. I guess someone is behind the scenes. You should investigate secretly and find out who is spreading these rumors."
"Okay, I'm going now."
Xue Ji immediately walked out of Sun Guangmin's room, and then left the Young Marshal's Mansion.
Xue Ji's whereabouts are strange, elusive, just suitable for investigation, she can sneak into any house in Fengcheng at night to eavesdrop.
The reason why Sun Guangmin was able to resolve the crisis at the Hongmen Banquet last time was because of Xue Ji's investigative ability, and it was also because of Sun Guangmin's appreciation that he was sent to investigate the rumors this time.
After Xue Ji left the Marshal's Mansion, she hid in the dark, planning to investigate in the city all night.
