Chapter 315: Portrait
The sun set, the sky showed a faint circle of smoke and purple, surrounded by a breeze in the field, Mo Xiaohe opened her arms and turned around, even if she might be wanted as a murderer by the Yamen, she still couldn't stop her good mood.
There is about ten miles from the current position to the city gate, if you rely on Xu Tietou and Mo Daya to walk to the city gate, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter the city in time, Mo Xiaohe means, let the two of them drive the carriage away, if there is enough time, and then come back to deliver the letter.
"Our time is too unfortunate."
Mo Daya shook her head, in case they went in to inquire about the news and didn't have time to get out of the city, Gu Zheng and Mo Xiaohe would have to sleep in the mountains, without any shelter, there were many mosquitoes at night, and it was cold, for the pregnant cousin, the body couldn't hold on.
"Go on horseback, and leave a horse to drive."
Gu Zheng accepted Mo Daya's kindness. There was a dark cloud in the distance, and the air in the mountains was humid, and it was necessary for the carriage to stay, at least to have a shelter from the wind and rain.
"Look at my memory, I didn't expect it!"
Xu Tietou realized that they had two horses, so they distributed it in this way, saving their own time, and letting Gu Zheng and his wife have a place to rest, which was the best of both worlds, he waved his hand at Mo Daya, "Without further ado, let's go, we have to hurry into the city." ”
It depends on the situation, if you can get through the tricks, you will stay in Spring City tonight, and then find a way to bring the two of you in tomorrow. Originally, the two of them could have waited to enter the city early tomorrow morning, but it was just a carriage, and there were no more than four people at night.
Mo Daya was entangled, taking small steps, and couldn't climb on horseback for a long time, Xu Tietou stood aside to watch the excitement, and didn't say anything about helping.
"Hurry up, don't delay!"
couldn't pull her face to ask for help, Mo Daya saw that Xu Tietou really didn't care, she was anxious, and said angrily, "If you have the ability, you can ride the horse yourself, and I'll walk!" ”
"Don't ......"
Xu Tietou had seen enough of the excitement, lifted his skirt, and flew on the horse neatly, he leaned down, took Mo Daya's hand, and gently took it, Mo Daya was sitting behind him.
"Drive!"
After a crisp shout, embarrassed, the horse was still grazing leisurely, and didn't pay attention to Mo Daya at all, which made her blush. Mo Daya can't ride a horse, and the officials who used to watch the yamen were like this, sitting on the back of the horse, shouting, and the horse left.
In the past, in the village, there was an ox cart that was good, and there were no horses at all, Mo Daya moved stiffly, as if she heard Xu Tietou's sneer, this person always had a bad taste, and liked to see her jokes the most.
"Sit tight and don't move." Xu Tietou glanced at the sky, instructed Mo Daya, hit the horse's belly with her calf, tightened the reins, and galloped towards the city gate, Mo Daya closed her eyes, she could feel the whirring wind on both sides, and before she could react, she had already arrived at the city gate.
When the time came, before the city gate could be closed, there was a long queue at the gate, and there were horse-drawn carts, ox carts, donkey carts, and people with burdens and baskets in their hands, talking to each other and whispering among themselves.
Mo Daya and Xu Tietou gathered next to the crowd to listen, one of the eldest ladies was talking about the murder case in Pucheng, a colorful description, and there were bursts of gasping around them.
"The dead is a little widow, beautiful in appearance, my cousin's youngest son's neighbor worked in that inn, I heard that it was miserable, it seems that the widow is romantic, and she looks at an ugly big man, and eighty percent is looking at the lower body of others, and thinks about other people's work."
The eldest lady smiled ambiguously, gave everyone a "you know" expression, and then frowned and sighed, "I heard that the little lady of the ugly man's family is a vinegar jar, and she can't look past it, so she killed someone in the middle of the night, and the few taels of meat on her chest were cut off alive." "It's not ours, is it? How does a widow know that an ugly man has a good job? He didn't take off his pants again! ”
People don't believe it, and they always feel that it is not so reliable. As a widow, you should be honest, it is better to have less contact with people, they all say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and they take the initiative to cause trouble, and it is strange that the little lady who has a husband can be happy!
Moreover, the method is cruel, it does not seem to be done by a woman at all, and she definitely has a deep hatred with a widow.
Mo Daya was embarrassed, how could it be passed around, the murderer became her cousin Mo Xiaohe, the reason for the crime was to be jealous, and the eldest lady said it conclusively, as if she had seen the scene.
The team moved forward little by little, and at the gate of the city, there were portraits of four people, one of which was quite clear, and the portraits were quite clear, if Xu Tietou and Mo Daya were not disguised, they would definitely be recognized at a glance.
Mo Daya's hands trembled, sweating, only a day's work, the yamen moved so fast, the portrait is accurate, this is a bit unreasonable, yesterday and Xiang'er had friction on the street, Xu Tietou never came forward, how can the portrait also have him?
"Don't be nervous, the more nervous you are, the more you will make mistakes, and it will lead to suspicion."
Xu Tietou dotted a black mole on the corner of his mouth, which did not damage his beauty, he was half paralyzed, leaning on Mo Daya's body, covering his lower abdomen with his hands, looking sick.
Mo Daya's eyes drifted, and it took a long time to stabilize her mood, there were several official catchers standing at the gate of the city, and there was no one in the catcher in his hand, who was comparing with the crowd, quite serious, looking at the suspicious ones, and interrogating a few words. The reason why the portrait is so accurate is also thanks to Wu Jinshi, he can be admitted to Jinshi, he must not be a straw bag, a bit of real talent. He was hostile to everyone on board, but because of his weak heart, he was afraid that his murder of his wife would be exposed, and he would have the opportunity to slander people, so he spared no effort.
"You two stop!"
Looking at the two people in front of him, he always felt that it was strange that he couldn't say it, he looked Xu Tietou and Mo Daya up and down, opened the baggage of the two of them and checked it, and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”
"If you go back to the mission, it's in Pucheng." Mo Daya was trembling and incoherent, she simply played a simple and honest role, talking stumbling, nodding her head, looking afraid of catching fast, "I took my daughter-in-law to visit relatives in Spring City, my brother-in-law ran errands in Ruyi Casino, I heard that he was developed......"
Ruyi Gambling House is the territory of the black market, but the official chamen does not know the details, but the background of the gambling house is not simple, even if it is an ordinary errand, it is enough to make people look high.
"My brother-in-law is the second fat, and the poor master is ......"
Mo Daya is pure nonsense, she has a lot of oil and water in the errands of the gambling house, often eats meat, and can't lose weight, but she didn't expect that she was really right, Ruyi Casino really has a guy named Erfat.
"It's that kid, haha!"
As soon as he heard that Er Fat was fat, he smiled on his face, and had a better attitude towards Xu Tietou and Mo Daya, "That kid eats meat all day long, it's strange that he is not fat, but I didn't know that he had a beautiful sister, I only heard that his family is in Jiangyang." ”
Jiangyang is a small city under Pucheng, about 100 miles away from Spring City, where bamboo leaves are abundant. Catch Kuai is a person who loves wine, just take a sip, pull Mo Daya and talk endlessly, the meaning of the words is obvious, next time you come, you have to give some filial piety. Catch quickly hugged Mo Daya's neck and called him brother and brother, which made Xu Tietou very unhappy, he covered his stomach, leaned on Mo Daya, and said aggrievedly, "Husband, ......"
Mo Daya is tall among women, but she is still shorter than normal men, and her big hand like a fan is fanned, and Mo Daya stumbles, thanks to Xu Tietou secretly helping her, to stabilize her figure.
"Big brother, we've been queuing up for a long time in the city, but what's wrong?"
Xu Tietou took the opportunity to divert the attention of the arrester, mentioned the matter, the arrester put down the hand hooked on Mo Daya's neck, and said, "You are from Jiangyang, you may not know that there was a tragedy in Pucheng, and a wanted warrant was issued to arrest the murderer, and these are the people." After speaking, he also showed the portrait to Mo Daya and Xu Tietou.
Catching up quickly pointed to Gu Zheng's portrait, he sighed, "What do you think about a widow who can look so ugly?" This death is unknown, alas! ”
Mo Daya was speechless, looking at it closely, Gu Zheng's portrait was the closest, almost exactly the same as himself, with a scarred face, expressionless face, looking like a fierce god, compared to the rest of the people, it was a lot more diluted.
Thanks to a few people who kept a hand, they didn't enter the city together, otherwise at this time, they would have been arrested and were about to be caught, Mo Daya took a deep breath and was relieved.
