I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Chapter 36: Saving People Just to Have a Clear Conscience

"I just want to let you know that we are not shooting at random. We can't shoot the people in the dance troupe, but as for you, for the sake of Xiao Zhizhou, I can turn a blind eye and pretend that I didn't see anything. You can leave on your own."

Ning Ning and Shang Wenqi looked at each other and knew that there was no room for turning back if they continued talking, and she did have more important things to ask Shang Wenqi, so Ning Ning did not insist, bowed to Lord Su, and left with Shang Wenqi.

The two men did not leave Qizhou directly. They stayed in prison for half a night. It was almost curfew and the city gates had been closed for a long time, so they could not get out.

The two could only find an inn nearby to stay for the night. Since they were playing the role of a couple, they naturally needed to share a room.

Back in the room, Ning Ning asked the system to monitor the surroundings to make sure there was no one within a few miles before speaking to Shang Wenqi.

"is that you."

Shang Wenqi glanced at her indifferently, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

"It must be you." Ning Ning confirmed: "Are those people here to see me?"

Shang Wenqi did not comment: "I have solved it."

"You killed them all?" Ning Ning couldn't help but be surprised.

He even dared to kill people from the imperial court? Who on earth is Shang Wenqi? Is he crazy?

Shang Wenqi glanced at the closed door calmly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Ning was speechless for a moment, as if... there was nothing wrong with her.

When he met Shang Wenqi for the first time, he directly killed the yamen runners who detained her. He dared to kill those who were wearing official uniforms, let alone those who were disguised as ordinary people.

It is indeed Shang Wenqi's style.

However, Ning Ning sighed: "Have you never thought about the current situation?"

"We are Chu Yun Siyang now, what are we afraid of?" Shang Wenqi was confident of victory.

Ning Ning saw through Shang Wenqi's plan. This guy should have expected that the troupe owner would use them as a lifeline, but he had no intention of rescuing the dance troupe.

However, thinking about the days she spent with the dance troupe, and the heavy wooden box in her arms, Ning Ning made a decision.

"I want to save the dance troupe."

"How are you going to save him? Rescue the prisoner? Or jump out and admit to being the murderer?" Shang Wenqi's voice was cold.

"We can't just watch them die."

"Ning Ning, you don't even have the ability to protect yourself, how can you save others?"

"You are wrong. Whether I can protect myself or not does not conflict with whether I save people. It is true that saving them or not has no impact on our going to the capital, but if I don't save them, my conscience will be uneasy, that's all.

Even if we take a step back, if one day something happens to you, I will find a way to save you because we have been together all the way.

Whether or not they can be rescued is one thing, but whether or not to take action is another.

In this life, I just want to live with a clear conscience. "

Shang Wenqi looked at her strangely, as if he had never known Ning Ning.

"Just give me three days. If I still can't save people after three days, I will go with you." After Ning Ning said that, she put down the tent and took a rest, leaving Shang Wenqi alone outside, lost in thought.

Ning Ning was not really asleep at this time. She quickly summoned the system and began to think of a solution.

The best way is naturally to push the murderer out, but the murderer is Shang Wenqi, so this road seems to be blocked.

Then the only remaining option is to find someone.

If the dignitaries in Beijing could guarantee the dance troupe, this problem would naturally be solved. However, she didn't know any dignitaries in Beijing, so relying on Shang Wenqi... probably wouldn't work.

This guy is stubborn and won't respond to any persuasion, so it's a bit difficult to get him to help.

After much thought, Ning Ning could only think of using Lord Xiao again.

If only Lord Xiao had a phone, she could just make a call and everything would be solved.

Unfortunately, no.

[Host, there were telephones in ancient times. You can go to the post station tomorrow and buy a carrier pigeon to send letters.]

Ning Ning's eyes lit up at the system's words, and she wished it would be dawn soon.

……

The next day arrived almost as Ning Ning expected. She ran out early in the morning without any sense of being a "prisoner".

Shang Wenqi was speechless. He put on his hat and followed Ning Ning out.

Ning Ning went straight to the post station to buy a carrier pigeon. However, when she got there, she found out that all the carrier pigeons in the post station belonged to the government and could not be used by private individuals. If a private individual wanted to use one, he had to go to the market to find one for civilian use.

Ning Ning had no choice but to run to the market again. The trip back and forth took time, and the market was already crowded with people.

She finally found a civilian carrier pigeon, and what she saw was amazing.

It turns out that the so-called civilian homing pigeon is actually a Saker Falcon. People can buy a Saker Falcon and then train it into a homing pigeon.

Ning Ning couldn't help but frown. If she really had to wait until she had trained the Saker Falcon well, it would take a long time!

It would be faster for her to run back by herself.

[Host, there are methods for training Costin in the encyclopedia. You can directly buy a Costin training whistle. You can quickly reach a consensus with the Costin through the whistle.]

Just when Ning Ning was about to back down, the system spoke at the right time.

Ning Ning felt that he saw hope again, so he took out 30 taels of silver from the Saker Falcon, which was in short supply.

"purchase!"

Speaking of which, this hunter has been waiting at the Qizhou market for half a month. Although everyone is interested in the Saker Falcon, no one is willing to actually buy one.

Firstly, the price he asked for was 30 taels, which was too high and no one could afford it.

Secondly, the Saker Falcon is fierce in nature and cannot be tamed by ordinary people. If people are injured, the bird may fly away. Who would be willing to do such a thing and lose both people and money?

Third, even if the bird is trained, the probability of using it is not high. Who would use a Saker Falcon as a carrier pigeon for no reason? It would be better to just hire someone to deliver the message.

In short, it is neither economical nor practical, so everyone just comes to see the majesty of the Saker Falcon, but no one buys it.

I thought today would end like this, but a little girl asked the price and just paid for it.

This shocked everyone.

Everyone looked at her.

"Girl...is it you who wanted this bird?" The boss was a little bit unbelievable. He took a look at her body and thought that she was probably just old enough to get married. Could such a slender and weak girl train a Saker Falcon?

"Yes, you take the money, and I'll take the bird."

Ning Ning was in a hurry, so she ran away with the huge birdcage without waiting for the boss' instructions.

When she shook the birdcage, the Saker Falcon inside flapped its wings vigorously against the cage, which looked unpleasant to the eye.

Ning Ning was not moved at all and ran quickly with the birdcage in hand.

Little did they know that there was someone in the crowd who was looking at Ning Ning walking away with great interest, and was even following her closely.

Ning Ning communicated with the system while running.

"How much is the whistle?"

[A silent whistle for Costinus avianus costs 5000 yuan.]

Ning Ning felt her heart bleeding, but then she thought that 5000 could be exchanged for people, which was not a loss, so she could only grit her teeth and nod.
