I won't do the task of traveling quickly

Chapter 164 Punish the World (27)

The three of them had only been on the road for a few days, and they would sometimes go to the inn to rest, or go into the city to buy some dry food supplies.

I have to say that the speed of the carriage is fast.Thinking back, the prisoners had traveled for a long time when they were escorted, but this time they arrived at Changping Mansion in just half a month.

Although this carriage looks ordinary from the outside, it actually has a universe inside.The inside of the carriage is not only covered with thick cushions, but also has some melon and fruit tea.So the journey is not hard.

Even so, Yuchi Xicheng was still worried about her being tired.So he insisted on resting here for a day, and then set off early tomorrow morning.

So Kong Yi parked the carriage at the Fuyuan Inn, and after they got off the carriage, He Yu felt a little emotional when he saw this familiar inn.

Back then, it was here that she and Yuchi Xicheng met for the first time. He was still in the identity of Kongying at that time, but he didn't expect that things are different now.Sure enough, there was a trace of nostalgia in Yuchi Xicheng's eyes.

Seeing He Yu looking at him, he immediately pretended to be nonchalant.

However, as soon as he entered the inn, He Yu felt something was wrong.

When they first came, the inn was still a bustling scene.But now it is deserted, not even a single person can be seen.

He Yu and Yuchi Xicheng looked at each other, then walked inside again.

Xiaoer, who was dozing off at the table, saw a guest coming, so he got up and greeted him.

"Several guests, please come inside. Are the guests playing the top or staying in the hotel?"

"Stay in the hotel." Kong Yi took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it on the counter, and then said, "Three upper rooms, just stay for one night."

The store owner was a skinny middle-aged man, he immediately smiled after receiving the money, and then hurriedly ordered Xiao Er to prepare some tea.

He Yu asked curiously: "Boss, I remember that your business here is good, what's going on now..."

The boss was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and seemed to be a little tangled.But he finally exhaled slowly.

"I won't hide it from you. Since someone died in my place a few days ago, the business has plummeted, and now I don't see any customers for a few days."

He Yu couldn't help but glance at Yuchi Xicheng, and then she asked: "In that case, why don't you sell this store?"

"This is impossible." The boss said firmly after hearing the words, "This store was uploaded by my team. Even if I starve to death, I won't sell it."

He then sighed again: "If you mind the guest officials, you can find another hotel to live in."

But Yuchi Xicheng chuckled lightly: "No need, it's just a few dead people."

The boss finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the words: "Guest officer is so kind, I'll go and prepare some food and drinks right now."

After the three of them sat down, He Yu whispered into Yuchi Xicheng's ear.

"Speaking of which, you sent Kongying to kill those people back then, right?"

Hearing this, Yuchi Xicheng nodded in embarrassment.

"Then this matter is also related to you in the final analysis, shouldn't you take care of it?"

"Then I'll pay him a sum of money, okay?" Yuchi Xicheng said aggrievedly.

Seeing that he was about to order Kong Yi to give the silver, He Yu quickly stopped the two of them.

"You gave him money for no reason, what should you say for this reason? You said that you killed him, and you gave him compensation because you were sorry?"

Yuchi Xicheng felt that this was the reason, so he asked Kong Yi to sit down again.

When the two were at a loss what to do, several young men suddenly broke in.When they entered, they kicked over the tables and chairs at the door.

"Old man Li, come out to me quickly."

The storekeeper hurriedly got out of the counter when he heard the sound.

"You guys, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" the leading man grabbed his collar and said angrily, "When will your store be listed?"

"This, this, I said I won't sell it."

"Not for sale?" The man laughed loudly, "Do you still have business here?"

As soon as he said these words, he saw the three people sitting in the corner, and there was a cruel expression on their faces.

"Hey, those over there, if you don't want to die, get out of here."

Seeing that the three people were still sitting like a mountain after hearing this, and ignored him, the man led his men closer to them.

Seeing this, Yuchi Xicheng couldn't help frowning, he then raised his head to signal to Kong.

Before even He Yu could react, the gangsters were knocked to the ground by Kong Yi.

"You, you wait for me."

After the man finished speaking harshly, he led his men and ran away in a desperate manner.

"This..." The shopkeeper said worriedly when he saw this, "This is terrible."

Seeing that his complexion is different, he looks like he has something else hidden.He Yu asked, "Boss, who are these people?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "The people just now are all subordinates of that Chen You. This man is used to doing evil in this area, and now the old shop is going to be used as a gambling house. If the old man refuses, he will insist on it. Why!"

After hearing this, Yuchi Xicheng was a little puzzled.

"In that case, why didn't you report to the official?"

"You guys don't know. This Chen You is the brother-in-law of Mr. Wang, the magistrate of Changping, and his family has the final say here. Reporting to the official? I'm afraid there will be a few boards for nothing."

Then the shopkeeper persuaded: "I think, you guys should leave quickly."

"No need." Yuchi Xicheng said calmly, "Just go and prepare some food and wine for us."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade them, the shopkeeper had no choice but to give up, and followed them to the back kitchen.

After they left, He Yu asked suspiciously, "Why is the prefect of Changping so bold?"

However, Yuchi Xicheng sneered: "Yuchimo has long been incompetent, but not only in Changping Mansion, I am afraid that the situation is the same everywhere in Tianyuan."

He Yu suddenly burst out laughing after hearing this: "But why do you look so filled with righteous indignation? Isn't this exactly what you want?"

Seeing her expressing her thoughts, Yuchi Xicheng couldn't help turning his head in embarrassment.

He Yu turned serious this time, she thought for a moment and persuaded.

"Xi Cheng, I know you have hatred in your heart. But now that you have taken over the throne, why don't you clean up Tian Yuan?"

"Yue'er, you already know those things, you should know that this is not what I want."

Yuchi Xicheng looked through the window at the far corner of the street, where several children were playing.His eyes seemed a little envious, but also a little sad.

For so many years, he has been following his mother's teachings and doing things he doesn't like.Now that their hatred has been avenged, they should have retired, but his mother is greedy for glory and wealth and refuses to leave.

She thought she was still that person's wife, but in fact she had changed a long time ago.I'm afraid her father won't know her when she goes underground.

But he is different.He just wanted to leave the royal city, stay with the one he loves forever, and live an ordinary life.

He Yu couldn't bear it when he saw his complexion, but he continued to persuade: "Not only this store, but many people in this world are living in dire straits because of these corrupt officials. Don't you really care? Do you really want to Become another Yuchimo?"

This sentence is not unreasonable, after Yuchi Xicheng heard it, he didn't answer for a long time.He Yu didn't continue to force him, but only hoped that he could think clearly in the future.
