Chapter 7 The identity of the pit father
Twilight Green's father, Twilight Huaishan, is now in Bianhe City.
Over the years, the father and daughter of the Dui family have been quite famous in the Jiangnan area, and Dui Huaishan is often invited by the surrounding states and counties to conduct autopsies. Some time ago, there was a big case in Bianhe City, and Du Huaishan left overnight with an official document from the Assassin's Mansion, and it has been more than half a month.
Leaving Gushui County, Twilight naturally had to go to find her father first, but she had to get the way to Bianhe City first.
The so-called road guide, or certificate of leaving the hometown, is an official document issued by the government similar to a pass. The household registration system in Daxing is quite strict, and the people cannot leave the place of household registration at will. When traveling, you need two things in your body, identity documents and road guides. If there is no way to lead the way, don't say that you can't enter the city, you will be arrested by the government and punished as a homeless person.
In ancient times, it was a felony against the law of the land to become a vagrant. Even if the people had to move their families to survive due to natural disasters*, it was still a violation of the law of the land in the eyes of the rulers. Once arrested for the crime of being a vagrant, they were sold into slavery by officials or sent to the frontier to be used as coolies.
On weekdays, the yamen set up a small yamen next to the city gate to handle road guidance. Twilight Qing can't just go like this, the people in the yamen and the defenders of the city gate know her, and there are people inside who are close to the Shen Mansion, if it is known that she is going to Bianhe City and reports to the Shen Mansion, she may not be able to leave so easily. She knew that Shen Wenyu had too many things, and now she had added a murder for hire, if Shen Wenyu learned that she was not dead, how could she let her go lightly?
Twilight Qing wanted to get Lu Yinshun to leave, so she had to change her disguise.
She put on her men's clothes and went out of the boudoir and went to the stove room. The Twilight family has only three rooms, the main house is where her father lives, the west house is her boudoir, and the east house is the study. There is a stove room next to the study, where the fire and cooking are all there on weekdays.
Twilight entered the stove, grabbed a handful of hay and burned it, and when she saw the smoke rising, she took a fan from the side and fanned herself for a while, opening her mouth and taking a few hard breaths. The smoke entered her throat, and she was immediately choked and coughed a few times, and her originally clear voice was hoarse.
After adding a handful of firewood to the hay, Twilight brought a medicine jar and boiled water, then turned around and went to the East House. I took a handful of gardenias from the corner of the study, soaked them in cold water, boiled the water in the medicine jar, put the soaked gardenias in it and boiled a bowl of yellow water, and returned to my boudoir with the water.
In the mirror, the girl's face had been smoked with some grass ash, and she dipped the bowl of yellow water to knead the grass ash and dye it on her face, and after a while, her complexion was dull and sallow.
Turning around, he grabbed a pair of scissors, and the knife flashed neatly, and a handful of hair had fallen on the table. Twilight cut her hair into long stubbles, brought the egg whites to the house, carefully lifted the corners of her eyes in the mirror, and put the stubble she had just cut into her eyebrows one by one with egg wash. After half an hour of work, a pair of eyebrows have become thick.
After the disguise was completed, the hair was tied, and a young man with thick eyebrows and thin eyes and a sallow face appeared in the mirror.
The boy packed his bags, went out, and went straight to the city gate.
By noon, the drizzle had stopped. The smoke was faint, slowly obscuring half of the picturesque town.
There is a small office next to the city gate, a table and a chair in front of the door, and the tolerance in the chair is napping, and he suddenly hears a person: "Official, official, ......"
In June, it was the rainy season in Jiangnan, and there were not many hours to see the sun in a day. The man looked up, really annoyed, "What the hell! ”
"Do it, do it." The boy's voice was a little hoarse, and his smile was timid.
Nonsense! Who came to this small office, who didn't come to do the road guide!
The man scolded, furrowed his eyebrows, and raised his voice, "Ask your kid where to go!" ”
The young man was a little silly, and only when he heard this did he react, "Oh, Bian, Bianhe City." ”
"What are you going to do in Bianhe City?"
"Relatives at home work on the docks in the city and get a job......
Hearing this, he looked the boy up and down, only to see that the boy was fifteen or sixteen years old, but his body was thinner than ordinary at this age, "Just this small body, and you still go to the dock to do hard work?" ”
The young man only laughed when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer, quite like a bun who had never seen the world, stupid and cowardly.
The tolerance suddenly turned a little darker, and he scolded this kid in his heart for not being upright! He handled the road guide for the people of the county in this small office, this errand is a fat poor, as long as he interrogated a few more words, the clever person knows that it is easy to do things with filial piety and money, but there are many people who pass by every day, and he can always meet someone who is not on the road, or the family is so poor that he can't take out the money.
This young man was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, washed and white, and his face was dull and sallow, and his family background was indeed like a copper plate, and he couldn't wait to break it in half.
Tolerance secretly said that he was really unlucky, he finally took a nap, and met a poor boy.
"Where's the identity papers?"
"Here." The young man hurriedly took out an identity document from his arms, and wiped it with his sleeve before handing it over.
This words and deeds, this dress, and this appearance indeed seem to come out of a poor family. Although there is no oil and water to fish, there is nothing suspicious about the identity.
Tolerance took the identity paperwork, his eyes fell upward, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched.
Twilight smiled timidly, and there was a hint of wisdom in her drooping eyes. She grew up in Gushui County and knows the people of the Yamen well. Although the errand of handling the road guide in the small yali is fat, it is not something that everyone can do, and you need to be careful and have a vicious eye, otherwise you will let go of the important criminals or spies arrested by the government and go out of the city. Therefore, these tolerances for handling road guides, looking greedy for money, are actually shrewd. She was dressed as a poor family, and if she took out her silver money to pay her filial piety in order to get out of the city as quickly as possible, it would arouse suspicion. It's better to pretend to be stupid, you can save some money, and you can pass the customs safely, at most you will be a little idle.
It's just that this person's expression when he saw the identity document seemed to be a little intriguing......
This identity document is not Twilight's, it's the water bandit's. She threatened the man that she would send the identity document to the Yamen court if she didn't deliver the letter, which was really bluffing him. The bandit was guilty, but his relatives were innocent. She asked for this identity document just to have a fake identity, so that she could get the guide to Bianhe City along the way.
The identity document only has the year of birth, the place of household registration and the name, and does not indicate the identity of the holder. Even if it is the identity of the water bandit, this tolerance should not be seen, so what does his expression mean?
Twilight thought to herself, but before she could figure out what was going on, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her.
A servant came on foot with seven or eight servants, and when Twilight saw the servant, her heart was chilling!
She had expected that Shen Wenyu guessed that the matter had not been done and would come to the city gate to prevent her from leaving the city, but she didn't expect that the officials of the county government would come with her. Could it be that Shen asked Yumai about the murder of her, and Gushui Zhixian knew about it?
In order to cling to the Marquis of Anping, this county magistrate didn't remember the past when she did her best and disregarded her life in vain?
With a look of timidity on her face, she cowered and stepped back.
When the official saw her retreat, his eyes scraped at her like a knife, and then he turned away. The people saw that the official messenger had always been so timid, and he was used to it, and he was tired of it, so he asked the messenger: "Have you seen the twilight?" ”
"Twilight girl?" The man was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the city, "I just entered the city half an hour ago, what's the matter?" ”
The official didn't answer him, but only looked back at the little guy in the Shen Mansion.
A few small servants looked solemn and said in a low voice: "Entered the city?" The courtyard door of the Twilight family was locked, and there was no one. ”
"Did you go to Yizhuang?"
"Shouldn't it? I heard that a mother-in-law in Zhaojia Village hanged herself this morning, so she specially sent someone to invite Du Qing, she came back from Zhaojia Village, and she should go to the county government to pay a tribute. There is no one in the county government and the Dusk family, could it be ......"
"Is she going out of town again?" The official turned around and asked again.
"I didn't see it and went out of town again, this is?"
This menacing search for twilight, could it be that the Shen Mansion is dead again?
The official didn't answer, but his face was not very good-looking, and he turned around and ordered: "Two people stay here and guard!" Send two more people to Yizhuang to have a look, and the rest will be separated from me in the city!" ”
A few of the servants nodded yes, and sure enough, two people were left to guard the city gate, and the rest turned around and hurried away.
A group of people came and went quickly, and the second monk was puzzled, and when he saw that two of them stayed, he leaned over to inquire.
As soon as he turned around, he saw that the young man who had come to do the guide was still standing in the same place, and he gave him a blank look, and his mind was attracted by other things, so he lost the interest in interrogating the young man again. As soon as the official seal was stamped, the road guide to Bianhe City and the identity document were lost to him.
When the young man received it, his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't stop thanking: "Thank you, master!" Thank you, Lord! ”
"!" The tolerance waved his hand irritably, not bothering to look at him again.
The young man put the road guide treasure in the identity document, and then went out of the city gate with his bags.
The noon sun was warm, sprinkled on the mossy city wall of the small city south of the Yangtze River, and the back of the young man who was far away from the city was gradually straightened, and he was alone in the wind, and he was as tough as a bamboo.
It wasn't until the city wall behind him was no longer visible, and the scenery on both sides of the river and dense forest gradually appeared on both sides of the official road, that the young man took out the identity document in his arms.
As soon as his eyes fell, he suddenly stumbled under his feet!
Twilight has always been calm, but it is rare for her face to darken the moment she opens her identity document.
