124, jolly
When the roster was retrieved, Xin Yi was naturally happy, and she instructed Zhenxiang,
"You give five taels, no, three taels of silver to the man who helped us find something."
Xin Yi looked at the beggar standing beside the carriage with his body bent.
The beggar's clothes were patched and his hair was messy, but at first glance he didn't feel dirty.
In particular, although his skin was also dark, it was not very natural, and the hands that naturally hung down at his side were equally black, but the nails were clean.
If it were an ordinary beggar, he would never be like this in his fingernails.
Zhenxiang took the reward purse over, and the beggar hesitated for a while before taking it, lowered his head slightly, and quickly looked at the side of the carriage, grateful to Dade, with a smile,
"Thank you for your reward, thank you for your reward."
He stuffed the purse into his bosom, and the pestle was there and did not leave.
"You can go, you can take care of the silver yourself, don't dislike the broken silver that rewards you, this is for you to hide and not let people rob it."
Zhenxiang deliberately explained one more sentence.
Xin Yi listened to what Zhenxiang said in the carriage and smiled, Zhenxiang actually knew why she changed the reward, and specially asked her to take the meaning of the broken silver.
Indeed, beggars live in groups, and they generally have a head, and if they get any good things, they must first be filial to the beggar's head, peel them off layer by layer, and finally leave some corners for the little beggar.
She really wanted to give the whole piece of silver, and it was estimated that there was nothing left of it that was stripped by the beggar's head.
The beggar waved his hands and thanked Zhenxiang, his footsteps were immovable, and his eyes looked towards the carriage from time to time.
The roster was retrieved, but Uncle Yang hadn't returned, Xin Yi asked the guards who followed him to call Uncle Yang back, and instead talked to Yan Wuming, who helped her out of the siege.
"Third Brother Yan, why are you here?" That Lu Ren looks as sticky as kraft candy, I'm afraid I'm not afraid, that's the kind of person who gets into trouble.
Fortunately, there is a swallow without a name.
Speaking of which, Xin Yi used to be called Yan Wuming' Lord Yan. ’
changed his mind because of the time when Xiao Yuanyou was taken away by the national teacher, and his timely appearance helped Xiao Yuanyou and Xin Yi a lot.
Xin Yi felt so familiar, and he was a little rusty to call 'Lord Yan', and heard that Yan Wuming was ranked third in the family, so he later changed his name to 'Third Brother Yan'.
Yan Wuming still had some decadent temperament, leaning lazily outside the carriage and replied,
"It just so happens that there is a case to be handled, passing by here, why didn't Xiao Yuanyou go out with you?"
Xiao Yuanyou is a little busy these days, and I don't know what errands His Majesty has given him, so he can't do it.
"A good man, he naturally wants to make contributions, isn't Third Brother Yan also going on an errand."
Xin Yi is serious.
Yan Wuming couldn't stop laughing, Xin Yi's face was full of doubts, "Did I say anything funny?" ”
"No, no." Yan Wuming waved his hand, still laughing.
Coincidentally, Uncle Yang heard that the roster had been found, so he immediately came back and drove the car to prepare to set off towards Shantang.
Xin Yi said goodbye to Yan Wuming, who was trembling with smiling flowers, and wanted to go back at night and ask the fifth brother, why is the third brother Yan laughing?
No one noticed that the beggar stood there and watched Xin Yi's carriage move away slowly.
In the carriage, Xin Yi continued to look behind the place just now, and the real fragrance stopped talking.
"What's wrong? Just say whatever you want. Xin Yi looked up.
Zhenxiang replied in a low voice, "Madam, that beggar just now was really a coincidence, Uncle Yang took someone to look around and didn't find it, but he found it, it's a bit too coincidental." ”
Xin Yi said, "It's possible that it happened to land next to him when he flew out." ”
Zhenxiang shook her head, "Madam, although the movement of the carriage just now was big, the slave and maid supported you when you rushed forward, and the force of the forward rush was not great. ”
"It stands to reason that the roster won't fly out too far."
Xin Yi listened and sat up straight.
The people that the fifth brother gave her were all selected, and Zhenxiang looked careless and arrogant, but in fact, she was the most careful.
Sure enough, Zhenxiang hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Madam, I was originally going to be a scout, no matter where I was, the first thing I did was to observe the surrounding situation, I had already seen the people around, there were no beggars around our carriage, so where did this person come from?"
"I'm afraid this thing is a little strange, is it a coincidence that Lu Ren bumped into him? If other beggars had been rewarded, they would have rejoiced. When I first gave the beggar my purse, I did not see his joy, but was a little disappointed.
This disappointment is not because of the amount of money. ”
Xin Yi frowned.
She subconsciously flipped through the roster, and suddenly, "Uncle Yang, stop the car." It's so fragrant, you go to the place just now and catch that beggar. ”
There is one page missing from the roster, although the traces of tearing are not very clear, but Xin Yi has seen so many albums and scripts.
At a glance, you can see the asymmetry of the front and back of the head.
Makami got the order, and without waiting for the carriage to stop, she jumped out of the window.
On Suzaku Street, people came and went, and the carriage didn't go far, and when Maka came out of the carriage, she had already ordered the guards to follow the outside to catch the beggar.
When she got out of the carriage, she took advantage of the high ground to see that the beggar had not left the place where she had just stayed.
"Hey, that ......" Maka pointed to the beggar in the distance for the guards to see.
The beggar had been standing there all the time, but when he saw Maka jump out, the guards surrounded him again, and suddenly a panicked expression appeared on his face, and he turned around and ran.
"Don't run...... Catch the thief...... That beggar stole our things......" Maka cried out with her internal strength.
The sound spread, and the crowd began to stir, and some people helped to catch it, but the beggar, who originally looked wooden, was even more slippery than a loach.
Dodging through the crowd and finally losing track in an alley.
Maka chased down the alley, and let the guards who followed her outflank the other alleys.
Finally, the beggars were surrounded in front of a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the alley.
……
When Zhenxiang went to arrest someone, Xin Yi didn't continue to go to Shantang, but got out of the carriage, entered a teahouse on the side, asked for a private room, and waited for Zhenxiang and the guards to come back.
She flipped through the roster, and the torn page recorded the names of the two men, where they came from, and where they went.
That beggar is the one between these two?
Soon, this idea was rejected by Xin Yi, and when the old man died, Xiao Yuanyou was only four years old.
The beggar wasn't very old, and it couldn't have been one of the two.
So, are the descendants of these two men? Why did you become a beggar? The register clearly records that after the two returned to their hometowns, they got back their original land, married wives and had children.
Is the beggar a descendant of one of these two men?
No matter who it is, when Maka comes back, it should be known.
The door of the private room was not closed, but it was separated by a screen, Xin Yi took a sip of the tea cup, and heard a weak voice coming from the door,
"Is that Mrs. Xiao in there?"
Xin Yi turned his head and saw a somewhat familiar young woman standing by the door, stopped by the guards at the door.
The young woman's eyebrows were flat, and her eyes were sad when she looked at her.
Xin Yi, "......"
She likes to see beauties, both male and female, but she hasn't bullied any beauties, right? Why did the young woman look at her so sad?
Suddenly, she remembered a person she saw on the street with Xiao Yuanyou a long time ago.
Well? Well! What does this fifth brother's ex-fiancée mean?
Did she do anything that was infuriating? Why are you looking at her like that?
Xin Yi has no interest in talking to this husband's ex-fiancée, she is really not interested, and she will probably be a little sour if she is another woman, what about her husband's ex-fiancée.
When she came to Xin Yi, she showed that she didn't care, she really didn't care, and she was by no means poor and generous.
She said,
"I wonder what you're looking for me?"
The young woman saw that the guards were not at ease, so she only bowed outside, "Cheng Wu has seen Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao is really happy." ”
Cheng Five? This is the ranking in my mother's house to say hello, what does it mean to be happy enough?
Was her last trip to the teahouse happy?
Those who often go out of the city to offer incense or something, are they just happy like gods?
"Oh? I don't know what you mean by jolly? Why don't you tell me about it? Xin Yi asked with interest.
