Chapter 65 Tracking out of the city
Of course Qin Feng hated being hired to kill someone!
He wished he could rush into these people's homes and scatter their ashes.
But he can't go!
Qingzhou City was too unfamiliar to Qin Feng. He was not a local, and just investigating those who hired murderers was a difficult and time-consuming task.
As for finding the prefect Wei Ning?
Qin Feng was actually 70% sure that he could convince the other party to help. After all, although Qing Kingdom ruled the country with military force, it still highly respected filial piety.
Qin Feng saved Wei Ningdao's mother, which was a great favor.
But for the remaining 30%, Qin Feng not only cannot take revenge, but his life may be in danger.
Because he knew that the interests of the local tyrants in every city were intricately intertwined.
Those who dare to sell medicinal materials at high prices outside the city must be the local tyrants in Qingzhou City. They may also be related to the prefect.
This was not Qin Feng's groundless guess, but an association.
He heard a lot of secrets about Pingchuan County from Liu Yehui and learned about the various interest disputes in the county.
Those gangs, martial arts schools, officials, families, etc., all these forces are interrelated.
Take the Chaoyang Martial Arts School for example. After the school was burned down, Liu Yehui specifically told him about the Chaoyang Martial Arts School.
Don't be fooled by its booming business, it makes a lot of money every year.
But in fact, there is an exchange of interests behind this.
Most of the money was to be given as tributes.
The county magistrate, county magistrate, officials, and so on, all aspects need to be taken care of.
In the end, there was not much left in Liao Zhen's hands.
The profit was split 30% and 70% respectively, Liao Zhen would take 30% even if he had to kneel down, and he still had to look at the boss's mood.
Classic! So classic!
At first, Qin Feng only found more than 1,000 taels of silver from Liao Zhen. He thought that most of the money was in the martial arts hall. Later he found out that it was all his fortune.
Knowing this, Qin Feng was worried that those people might be related to Wei Ningdao and might turn around and silence him.
Besides, even if Wei Ningdao helped him, it would take at least ten days or half a month.
And how much can he help? Just kill those people?
It doesn't seem to work!
So all things considered, it is the best option for Qin Feng to leave Qingzhou City as soon as possible.
After all, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. Being too passive and risky is too high.
If he left immediately, he could stay away from danger and it would not be too late to take revenge later.
Leave tonight!
Although Zhang Shi said that after he accepted the assassination mission, he didn't have to worry about anyone coming to kill him tonight.
But to be on the safe side, we still have to travel overnight.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng continued to practice and wait for dark.
During this period, Qin Feng also searched Zhang Shi.
This guy was a poor guy. He had only some poison, a dagger, and some small change and copper coins. That was all he had.
Qin Feng took the money and did not touch anything else, with the dagger still stuck in his leg.
He didn't stab any vital parts, and it was winter and the person was wearing thick clothes, so the blood couldn't fall out unless the dagger was pulled out.
At three quarters past the hour of You, Liu Yehui came back and the two had a meal on the first floor.
It was not dark yet, and Qin Feng did not say much.
When it got dark, Qin Feng left the inn with the seal stone.
His light-weight bird-like skill has already been improved to a certain extent. Even if he is carrying someone, he can walk on the roof without making much noise.
Not long after, a body quietly appeared in an alley not far away.
Qin Feng quickly returned to the inn and then went straight to Liu Yehui's bedroom.
"Brother Mingzhao, let's leave the city tonight."
"Okay!" Although Liu Yehui was surprised, he nodded directly.
Qin Feng was stunned by such straightforwardness. He pursed his lips and finally waved his hand and said, "Pack up and go." Qin Feng had many excuses and they were all ready. Liu Yehui didn't even ask any questions, which seemed to indicate that he trusted him very much.
The two went to the first floor of the inn, checked out, and then the waiter led them to the stable next door.
At the same time, in an alley diagonally opposite the inn.
A young man rubbed his eyes, and after seeing Qin Feng clearly, he immediately took out a piece of paper and started writing on it.
When Qin Feng and Liu Yehui led the horses and walked towards the south gate, the young man took out a carrier pigeon from the cage at his feet, put the note in it, and then released the pigeon.
High House.
Gao Yan caught the flying carrier pigeon, skillfully took out the note and began to read it.
Soon, after he finished reading the information on the note, an expression of interest appeared on his face.
Qin Feng actually left Qingzhou City overnight. There is definitely something wrong with this guy!
So Gao Yan didn't delay and immediately rushed towards the south gate.
The other party was about to leave the city gate, which was good news for Gao Yan, especially at night.
In this way, he could capture Qin Feng quietly and ask him the questions he wanted to know.
"The city gates should be closed. I don't know if I can get out."
Liu Yehui asked on the way to the South Gate.
Although he was convinced by Qin Feng's decision, he would still remind him of the things that needed to be reminded.
"I have a token, so I should be able to get out." Qin Feng said with a smile.
After saving Old Lady Wei, Wei Ningdao gave him a token.
This token has no power, but it is a token of Wei Ningdao's will. The other party's original intention was to let Qin Feng come to him with this token if he has any problems in the future.
Qin Feng is leaving the city gate at this time. As long as someone recognizes the token, there shouldn't be any problem.
Besides, it's not a war period now, and it's not difficult to open a city gate. Even if the token is ineffective, they can still get out by spending some money.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at the south city gate.
Qin Feng was lucky. As soon as he picked up the token, someone recognized it and let him go.
Outside the city gate, the victims stared at the two people coming out of the city gate like hungry wolves.
With the cover of the sky, they dared to do almost anything at this time.
So Qin Feng did not dare to hesitate, he immediately got on his horse and rushed out quickly.
They ran all the way until they could no longer see the victims, and then they slowly stopped.
"It's cloudy today, and it's not easy to rush at night. If you're not careful, you'll get hurt." Liu Yehui said with some fear.
If you are traveling at night, if the moon is round enough, you can travel by the moonlight.
But if it is a cloudy day, the road will be full of stones and potholes, and if you step on them, you will fall off your horse and people.
Fortunately, they were both lucky and ran for several miles without encountering any danger.
"I remember there was a big slanted rock not far ahead. There was a large space behind the rock where we could spend the night."
Qin Feng didn't want to travel at night. Now that he was out of the city, the danger was reduced by half, so he could just wait until daytime to travel.
In this way, the two searched for a while and finally came behind the stone.
Not long after, a figure was seen slowly following on the official road where the two men had been riding horses.
It’s Gao Yan!
He held a burning tinder in his hand. The light was not bright, but enough to see the ground clearly.
Soon, he saw a series of fresh horse hoof prints turning toward the official road.
A smile appeared on his lips.
"Sure enough, it stopped."
