Ji Da said without thinking, "If you walk, it will take more than a day. If you ride a horse and ride faster, it will take half a day. If the adults ask if this small restaurant will entertain General Xu, the villain will know without asking that if General Xu has been here, even if he doesn't eat, he will have to come down and drink."

"Is there no small shop selling rice on the road ahead?" Yang Ze probably didn't have it, but he still had to make sure.

Ji Da shook his head and said, "No, this road is an official road, and there are many restaurants, but because there is a section of road from the city gate here. When pedestrians arrive here, the head of the restaurant always comes out and shouts, saying that there is still a long way to go ahead, come down to have a bowl of tea, and sell some simple meals by the way."

Qin Luoluo said, "Our family knows this place and has drunk tea soup here. The tea soup is really hard to drink. If it weren't for the fact that it was still hot, our family would really not want to drink it.

Yang Ze said oh and came to the restaurant. He saw an old couple standing at the door of the restaurant. He was very young and his clothes were clean. The restaurant was not big and there were only two tables. The old couple was looking at such a large group of people in surprise.

Ji Da got off his horse and said, "Old Liu, how about business today?"

Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "It's cold and the snow has not melted. How could there be any good business? Today is your first wave!" He recognized Ji Da and saw Qin Luoluo in the crowd.

Yang Ze also got off the horse and stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law, have you ever seen a guest with a Beijing accent a few days ago, who have eaten or only drank hot tea?"

Old Man Liu felt that this large group of people were all officials, otherwise he would not be able to use Jida. Jida was usually very arrogant. He looked at Qin Luoluo who was still riding on the horse and said, "This, this master and a few people had drunk hot tea from Caomin, and they said it was bad. They left without paying money."

Qin Luoluo's face turned red. He did not give money, but he was definitely not taking advantage of this little thing, but he really felt that the tea soup was hard to drink, and he would not give money if it was hard to drink. He thought it was natural.

Yang Ze looked back at Eunuch Qin. He didn't give me any money for tea, so he was a little bit evil. He turned his head and asked again, "What about the days ago? Are there any guests with a Beijing accent? That person should be a guest who came on horseback."

Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "There are no more people with accents in the capital. It's not the first month of the year yet. It's not a good time to do business. There are fewer customers coming and going, and there are even fewer customers in the capital."

Yang Ze nodded and said, "Anyone who goes to Qiuzhou City will drink tea and eat something from you. Have anyone run over directly?"

Old Man Liu nodded immediately and said, "Yes. But it was when the weather was warm. Now in this weather, there was so much snow on the ground, and there was no one who ran directly there. Because as long as the guests came from the east, they would have been rushing to the villain for a long time. Whether they were walking or riding horses, the weather must be very cold. Seeing that there was a place for hot food, it was impossible to stop. In the past month, the villain had just run over directly but didn't see anyone."

Yang Ze nodded, and it was very certain that the crime scene was definitely not here. As Xu Gaoyang, he came from a wealthy place like Chang'an, so he could not have been desperate for business. Even if the matter is urgent, there is still time to drink some hot tea.

Yang Ze smiled and said, "Then please ask your father to prepare more tea. We have a lot of people, but you will be busy for a while. When you calculate the money later, you will be able to find this adult." He pointed to Gongyang Liu.

Old Man Liu was overjoyed. As long as he was willing to pay, this would be a big business. But there were dozens of people. He hadn't done such a big deal in a long time, so he happily went to prepare with his wife.

Yang Ze, Qin Luoluo and Gong Yang Liu were all sitting at the table. Qin Luoluo said smartly: "It seems that General Xu has not come here, otherwise this old man would definitely remember him."

Gong Yang Liu also said, "Yes, this is the only way to get into the city. If General Xu had been here, he would definitely be seen."

Ji Da, who was standing beside him, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he held it back and said nothing. Judging from his appearance, he did not agree with Gong Yangliu's words.

Yang Ze saw Ji Da's expression and asked, "Brother Ji, what do you want to say? Could it be that this is not a must-pass way to enter the city, and is there any other way?"

Ji Dabeng said: "If you go back to the adults, this is indeed a must-pass way to enter the city. For guests who have just come to Qiuzhou from other places, there is no other way to go if they don't go here. But for locals, there is still a small road, but that small road is not easy to walk on, and only locals know it, but the distance to enter the city is much closer."

The three officials were stunned together. Gong Yangliu was the most surprised one. He shouted: "There are small paths here to enter the city? Why don't I know?"

He served as the governor of Qiuzhou for many years, but he never knew that there were small roads in addition to the official roads. But he couldn't blame him for being an official. He was an official. He went out of the city and went to the city, either riding a horse or taking a car. Of course, he could only walk flat official roads and not small roads. Even if he was closer, there was no need for him to go out of the city often, nor did he often go in this direction. It was unnecessary for him to take a small road.

Qin Luoluo shouted, "Little Road? Are there many bandits who often robbed the way?"

In the cold weather, Ji Da was sweating all over his head and said hesitantly: "Only local people can walk on that path, so of course local people will not rob the local people."

Yang Ze heard it, there was a lot of news about Jida's words. Some locals are robbers, but they do not rob locals. Rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. Everyone understands this principle, but he did not say that the path was very peaceful, which means that there are still bandits. If they do not rob locals, they can only rob foreigners. But outsiders do not take that path. Isn't there any problem here?

Qin Luoluo didn't hear the hidden meaning in this sentence, but said, "That's right, the locals will certainly not rob the locals. This is not a capital city, and there are not so many rogues." He remembered the gangsters in the capital city, but in fact, the gangsters in the capital don't have much idea about the locals. They mainly rely on extortion of foreigners. Nowadays, outsiders are bullied everywhere.

Yang Ze did not immediately make it clear, and no longer asked questions. He kept Ji Da's words in his heart. This is a very important clue, but there is no need to say it now.

When the tea soup was brought up, everyone drank it, and after a little warmed up, they set off again and continued to walk forward.

After walking like this, it took a long time. On the way, I met several villages and asked people in the village, but the answers were similar to those of Old Man Liu, and I had never seen Xu Gaoyang. This answer was almost the same. Even if I had serial statements in advance, I didn’t have such a neat answer.

Yang Ze had already concluded in his heart that Xu Gaoyang had not taken this official road at all, but must have taken the path. As for why he took that path, the answer was almost about to come out. He must have been kidnapped by a large number of robbers before he went up the road, or was simply deceived, so he walked the path. What happened on the path will be investigated later.

For Yang Ze, who was a human being in his second life, he could guess these answers, but as the saying goes, the difficulty will not be difficult, and the ability will not be difficult. For others, he cannot get this answer at all.

Whether it was Qin Luoluo or Gong Yangliu, the answers he received were surprised by the two, but one was shocked and the other was surprise.

The shocked thing was that Qin Luoluo could not find Xu Gaoyang and could not solve the case. If he could cause big trouble, he could hardly imagine how to face the princess' anger. The surprise was that Gong Yangliu. The more he could not find Xu Gaoyang on his territory, the more he had nothing to do with him. As for where Xu Gaoyang was going, it was nothing to do with him!

I walked around and stopped and wasted a lot of time until it was almost dark. Then I saw a slightly larger village from afar. At this time, it was about to get dark, so they could only stay in this village.

Still a distance from the village, Yang Ze raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. He called Jida and said, "Can I see a light in the village? Is this a wealthy family or a village inn?"

Jida looked at the village and said, "Ask Lord Yang, we are not rich, even if we are big families, we can't afford to light such lights. What's more, there are many big families in this small village? That light is a big car shop, and only the inn can light the lights when the sky is just dark."

Qin Luoluo said impatiently: "I'll ask you something, why are you talking about this? Lord Yang, since it's dark, let's go to that big car shop to spend the night. We didn't spend the night here when we came here, and I don't know if the shop is clean or not." After that, he was about to walk forward.

Yang Ze grabbed his reins and said, "Eunuch Qin, please wait. If the official expected it is right, this kind of big car shop is the most likely to happen. The people coming and going are too complicated. They are often where bandits stay. The bandits also need to communicate information. Wherever they can go, they can only inquire in such places."

"There will be bandits in the big car shop?" Qin Luoluo and Gong Yang Liu said in unison. One of them was eunuchs and the other was a bureaucrat. Neither of them lived in the big car shop here. Besides, along the way, all the villages were so peaceful that there was no trace of bandits at all.

Ji Da showed admiration and thought, "This Lord Yang is so crazy. I didn't say that there are all people in the big car shop, but he could guess that it was a place where thieves specifically asked for information. This is not ordinary great!"

Yang Ze smiled and said, "If so many of us come over together, we will not be able to find anything. It is better to let the followers go away and find a place to rest by themselves. Let's go to the big car shop and listen to what the people inside say. How about it?"

Qin Luoluo immediately said, "Okay, that's it!"
