Chapter 316: Drop
Asking for news from the mouth of the catcher, it is really much more reliable than hearsay, Xu Tietou can basically speculate about the situation in Puyang, Xiang'er was killed, which caused a huge sensation, so the yamen attaches great importance to it, the prefect has already written to the criminal department, and set up layers of checkpoints in Dawu, and the situation is not optimistic.
"If you want me to say, the murderer is not necessarily the person who paints the portrait."
Arresting Kuai, I saw that the two of them claimed to be relatives of Erfat, and their tone was a lot kind, and there was no evidence, at most they were suspicious, but it could only be said that a few people were unlucky, and they had conflicts with the deceased during the day, if they were caught, they would be thrown directly into the prison for torture, and they would have to endure some hardships.
"Then it didn't ...... Is there no royal law? ”
Mo Daya asked tremblingly. She was a little grateful in her heart for telling the truth. That's true, there is no evidence, just because he committed a few words during the day, he was regarded as a murder suspect, which is very uncomfortable. She completely forgot that she and Xu Tietou appeared in Qingyaju late at night.
"The law of the king is also the law of the rich."
If you only say one word, you won't say it again. As long as there is a sum of money, there are many poor people who can't eat, and they are willing to take the blame for others, otherwise the gambling house collects debts, and it is easy to cut off the hands and feet of the debtors, and the proprietor and the shopkeeper have long not known how much prison food they will eat.
Mo Daya felt the same way, not to mention anything else, her own family had also suffered unfair treatment, and Mo Huaiyuan was once framed and spent a few days in prison. If it weren't for that, the family wouldn't have made up their minds to return to the clan.
"Husband, it's not too early."
The news was almost out, Xu Tietou looked at the sky and reminded Mo Daya. The two of them have to find an inn near the Ruyi Gambling House now and settle down first. Close the gates at once, they will be arrested and stared at, and it will be too late for them to go back to deliver the letter.
As soon as the two of them took a step, they heard the catcher behind them shout to the front, "Second fat, are you here to pick up your sister and brother-in-law?" ”
Mo Daya's body shook, and she can always meet ghosts when she walks more at night, this is good, dig a pit by yourself and bury yourself in it, and now the main two fat appear, in case they are exposed, the identities of the two will be embarrassing, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of catching fast.
If you are not related, why impersonate? Is there any other fat in the Ruyi Casino? Mo Daya's heart was in turmoil, and the whole person was not good.
Xu Tietou was still somewhat calm, his mind was running rapidly, thinking about how to get past after being exposed, the incident was urgent, and he couldn't think of a good excuse for a while, so he could only take one step at a time, and his heart also raised his throat.
Called the second fat boy, is a short and stubby, small eyes and single eyelids, running a few steps straight panting, he came to the city gate to do business, heard that his sister and brother-in-law were coming, he couldn't help but be stunned, he has a sister, but the first few years of dystocia, one corpse and two lives, he is still sad for many days, this matter, he hid in his heart, never mentioned it to others.
"Erfat, are you here to pick me up and your brother-in-law?"
Xu Tietou will not sit still, he took the initiative to attack, and before catching the fast, he grabbed the second fat hand, "How many times have I said it, I can find a way, I don't need you to pick up people." As he spoke, he took out the token given by Mo Xiaohe and shook it, since the gambling house is the territory of the black market, he should recognize this, Xu Tietou is not very sure, but at this moment he has to do it.
"Sister, why are you here? Why haven't you been in a carriage yet? ”
The second fat regarded Xu Tietou as a psychopath, and was about to clear up the relationship, but when he saw the black brand in his hand, his small eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked about the situation at home very cooperatively, and the three of them left the city gate while chatting.
"I'm really sorry, there was a small episode, I can only borrow your name."
Walking out of the sight of catching fast, Xu Tietou apologized as soon as possible, revealing that he had something unspeakable, and the brand was only available to VIPs on the black market, and there were not a few pieces in total, enjoying the best treatment, and having the right to withdraw 100,000 taels of silver at one time.
"Big brother, you're the person in the portrait, right?"
Erpang felt a little weird, he had always been good at observation, close contact, and saw that Xu Tietou was a man dressed as a woman, and then thought of the portrait, and it was really very similar. At this time, the black market is closed, so I can only find an inn next to the gambling house to rest, and find a referral from the steward early tomorrow morning.
"We didn't kill people, we were in trouble, and there were people who were trapped outside the city."
Mo Daya is very honest, she can't wait to bring her cousin Mo Xiaohe in now, so that she can rest in the inn for one night, it is much better than in the wilderness.
The inn next to the gambling house is also part of the black market, after the second fat enters the lobby, he goes directly to the pantry to find the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper does not say a word, arranges the best guest room, and quickly sends a table to entertain the two.
On the table, chicken, duck and fish, sauce duck is chopped into a number of small platters, and there are carrots carved into flowers next to it, the taste is also first-class, Mo Daya gnawed on the duck legs, looking at the sky outside, it was only a short time, and a light rain dropped.
The experience at the city gate just now, made her frown, sighing in her heart, it seems that this road to Kyoto is destined not to be smooth, although she can avoid being arrested, but being wanted as a murderer, makes her very unhappy. A dark cloud drifted overhead, bringing down a few raindrops, the wind mixed with moisture, and the mountains after sunset, a fog in the distance, and the temperature plummeted.
An oil lamp was lit on the carriage, and Mo Xiaohe bent down to make the bed.
After the carriage was simple, after modification, the benches on both sides were all put down and turned into a board bed, which was covered with a thick layer of cushions and mattresses, loose and soft, and a gauze tent hung down above, and the small tables on the carriage could be moved to the door of the car, and some tea and small snacks to satisfy hunger were placed. The carriage stopped in a hidden corner of the forest, the rain was small, the ground was not wet, Mo Xiaohe brushed her teeth and washed her face by the river, and boiled hot water to wash her feet, this is good, in the mountains, there are only two people, her husband and Jun, plus a horse.
Incense was lit in the car, Gu Zheng was busy exterminating mosquitoes, Mo Xiaohe couldn't smell too heavy aroma and pungent smell, after eliminating mosquitoes, he opened the car window and used a fan to ventilate.
Mo Xiaohe washed a melon by the river, cut it into four pieces with a dagger, and shared it with her husband, she glanced at the sky, the city gate had long been closed, it seemed that it was impossible for her cousin and Xu Tietou to come back tonight.
"Husband, we are still more than ten days away from Kyoto, if we avoid people and copy the path along the way, will it be farther away?"
Mo Xiaohe handed the melon to Gu Zheng, took out the map and looked at it carefully, the official road was outlined with black lines, and it was arc-shaped in several places, and it was bent, if you walked in a straight line, it could be closer, but if you copy the path, the terrain is complicated, and it is either a forest or a valley, so it may take more time.
I told my mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu, that I would go to Kyoto to meet after the New Year, but in a blink of an eye, it was delayed until the third month of the lunar calendar, and when I arrived in Kyoto, I had to wait until at least April, and I didn't know what the situation was going to be there.
At this time, the war between the two countries may be a good thing, the people of Licheng can't come for the time being, Mrs. Gu and Qingli don't have to worry about their lives, but the two have not suffered much, and they have to be taken care of by an old lady by their side, and their lives are not much better.
At that time, she was in a hurry to separate, Mo Xiaohe didn't have much money on her, she went out this time with a lot of silver tickets, and it was difficult to move an inch without money, especially in a foreign land, silver can solve many problems, and she wanted to keep her mother-in-law by her side.
There were no outsiders to disturb, Mo Xiaohe was in Gu Zheng's arms, slept peacefully, and waited until noon on the second day before Xu Tietou went out of the city, he took out two masks and talked about his experience in the black market.
Unfortunately, Yingluo's second uncle is not in Spring City, but there is a VIP brand, and the people who came were very polite, and after hearing about the situation, they directly gave them four masks, which were the same as leather, breathable and light, and Xu Tie was addicted to wearing them.
"This mask is good."
After Mo Xiaohe put it on, he took a photo with a small bronze mirror, just like the little daughter-in-law of an ordinary family, with a plain face and a little freckles on it, and Gu Zheng, the mask covered the scars on his face, tall and mighty, and a little more handsome. "Where's my cousin?"
The mask was very different from the appearance of several people, Mo Xiaohe didn't see his cousin, and was very curious why she didn't follow.
"You know when you see it."
Xu Tietou rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, Mo Daya really has never been a beauty in her life, she has been struggling in the pile of middle- and lower-looking people, who knew that this time she actually got a beauty mask that was shy of the moon, which made her whole person different, walking on the street, attracting the attention of countless people. The vendor took the initiative to erase the zero, asked for directions, the other party had a good attitude, knew that she couldn't find the way, and took the initiative to take it, how could Mo Daya have such treatment, she couldn't support it, it turned out that beauty is a big weapon, it is easy to feel the beauty of life, and her whole world has become bright. Xu Tietou touched his face, yes, he had a slight beard, looked at his fierce face, and when he was with Mo Daya, everyone thought she was not worth it, she was promoted from the original cow dung to flowers, from the pig who arched the good cabbage, to the good cabbage, which greatly satisfied her vanity. Xu Tietou was angry, he always felt that his appearance was too beautiful before, so that he was looked down upon, and he had a little less manly breath, but now he is finally addicted to being a beard, and he was trampled under the feet of Mo Daya, and he was worried about his husband's weakness.
Facts have proved that Xu Tietou's worries are justified, the directions for several people to enter the city are all provided by the black market, and the catchers look for people according to the portraits, and they don't pay attention to them at all.
"Today's investigation is stricter than yesterday's, and now almost all the people in the city have found it, and a tragedy has occurred in Pucheng."
The so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, especially the yamen issued a wanted warrant with great fanfare, which was clearly written and understood, as long as it could provide effective clues, it would be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and if it cooperated with the yamen to arrest people, the price would be fifty taels of silver.
Real money, among which Mo Xiaohe and Gu Zheng were more expensive, and they were opened to two hundred taels of silver, I am afraid that the government knows the identities of the two, and they want to catch them to vent their anger while Dawu has eaten several defeats.
"Thanks to my cousin being pregnant, I didn't come with me." Mo Xiaohe smoothed her chest with her hand, and put her other hand on her forehead to block the dazzling sunlight, she squinted, with Yingluo by Li Xiu's side, it must be safe, she doesn't have to worry at all.
The yamen offered so much silver as a reward, no matter whether they were charged with a crime or not, as long as they caught someone, they would not be fine, maybe it had nothing to do with the murder, Gu Zheng realized the seriousness of the problem, and for a period of time in the future, the mask must not be taken off.
Ahead, surrounded by a few people, causing a small commotion, Mo Xiaohe and a few people passed by, and saw a thin beauty standing on the side of the road, her face was ruddy, her black hair was as soft as a waterfall, her eyes were clear, and she looked around like a panicked rabbit, looking around aimlessly.
"The little lady is looking for his husband, saying that he is the first time to come to Spring City, and he doesn't know where he went."
Someone muttered in a low voice, and scolded her husband a few words by the way, there is a beautiful little lady who doesn't know how to go to prison, everyone has it these years, they have to watch from the sidelines, so that the beauty is deceived by the bad guys.
"Xiaohe, look, your cousin was born to go to the troupe, and her performance is too brilliant!"
Xu Tietou clenched his fists, his mother-in-law is still ugly, if she looks a little good, she is not safe, no, there are several diligent men around, where are you looking? What to aim at the chest? He didn't admit that he was jealous, because he was unhappy. "That's my cousin?"
Mo Xiaohe couldn't associate a beautiful and pure little lady with her own fierce cousin, feeling that she was suffering from a 10,000-point critical attack, especially, her cousin actually knew how to pretend to be weak, and suddenly became Xiang'er's one!
Xu Tietou nodded deeply, then took a big stride, pretending to be anxious and stepped forward, "Lady, I'm here for my husband!" Then, there was a sound of gasping and muttering all around, and it was nothing more than that the beautiful little lady husband was like a bear, or a bear with no meat, and it really ruined her beauty in vain.
