Chapter 20: Tracking Down a Mysterious Person
Zhu Jianren, you are a slut! Lao Tzu was beaten and lost half his life, and you turned the page in one sentence, but it's not that cheap. You have to pay for medical expenses, lost work expenses, mental damages, etc.
He was so cheerful that he asked me how much money I wanted. In that case, don't blame me for opening my mouth.
I asked for a thousand taels for a mouth, but he didn't frown, and asked me to go to Lord Qian to get the silver with a disdainful face.
Poverty can sometimes really limit the imagination.
The skinny monkey's body bones are fine, they are all skin injuries, but the donkey broke two ribs. A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, but this kid is naturally tough, unlike a thin monkey who can bend and stretch, so he avoids a lot of fights.
But whether it is a thin monkey, a strong donkey, or other beggars, they have never "bitten" me, and this kind of affection is far better than calling me a brother and a brother.
I found the best medical clinic to treat the skinny monkeys, and I thought that when the palace was over, I would take them away and fly away, buy fields and land in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and go to the idyllic life of "Morningside is desolate, and return with the moon and lotus hoe".
It's easy to get in, but it's hard to climb out. Wu Zhengxing sent Yan Lang - the head catcher, staring at me all day long, urging me to ask for information every now and then, and pulling out a knife to threaten at every turn, which made me mentally stressed.
That night, Yan Lang suddenly broke into the broken temple, and scared me so much that I lost two and a half souls.
As soon as he came up and covered his face, he asked: "Hua Ziliu, who was the person who entered the palace just now, is it the messenger of Qingfeng Village?" ”
"I said, big brother, you don't sleep at night! Besides, when the sun goes down, I leave after doing the rituals, so how do the people who come behind know about it? ”
"Don't fill me with garlic, you mix in the palace all day long, and you don't know anything, so what are you doing with it?" Yan Lang said viciously.
It's not okay not to fool around, or you'll have to draw your knife again.
"Is that man gone?"
"I just went in, so I shouldn't have left yet."
"When he comes out, won't we be able to find out the details after we follow him?" This IQ is still a headcatcher!
"It makes sense, I'll go back to the yamen to transfer people."
Worst! If Wang Cao's messenger let the yamen take it, and the stolen goods were obtained, then the king of Pingyang would be finished, and I would not be able to get out of the matter of making guns.
"Yan catches the head, never do!"
"Why?"
"You think! People who do this kind of thing have to be cautious, you transfer so many catches to come quickly, won't they be exposed at once? ”
"You can't see it when you change into casual clothes."
"Catch fast with fat heads and big ears, full of murderous faces, and a brutal energy, who can't see it!"
"That's right, then what do you say."
"Mobilize the masses and rely on the masses! I took two beggars to follow him, and they were all acting in their true colors, and they definitely couldn't see any flaws. When you find out what is going on, you rush up and take him, and then everyone gets the stolen goods. It's yours alone! ”
This last sentence plays a very important role.
On the street in the dead of night, the husband banged all the way, holding a big black-backed dog in his hand. When I saw that bad beast, my ass ached.
Yan Lang, this idiot, took me to lie on our stomach for three hours, and still didn't see anyone come out of the palace, so I really wondered if he was mistaken.
Seeing that the sky was already slightly bright, I yawned with the thin monkey and the donkey, but Yan Lang was still in good spirits.
"Come out, come out, this is it."
The man was dressed as a merchant, with a wide robe and a large square hat, and as soon as he came out of the palace, he went straight to the east gate.
There was a carriage at the entrance of the city gate, which seemed to have been arranged in advance, and as soon as the man sat down, the coachman whipped and drove up the official road.
Now we are all dumbfounded, people are carriages! You can't run to track it!
Yan Lang rubbed for a long time, and finally got a heart and hired a carriage. Fortunately, the carriage didn't go fast, and there was no instant acceleration to get rid of anything, so we kept our distance and shook gracefully. Yan Zhutou, who had been excited all night, snored as much as he could.
As soon as I walked for a while, the thin monkey told me that this was not the road of Lei Gong Mountain, but the direction of going to Jinan Mansion.
This person may not be a bandit in the first place, but that is better, I did my best on the side of the Wu Governor's Mansion, and the prince must not be offended, and the knife cuts the tofu on both sides.
At noon, Yan Lang came to his senses with his lazy waist, and when he saw the situation outside, he was so anxious that he wanted to jump out of the car and arrest people. I quickly stopped and said, "There is no evidence, how can you arrest people casually?" ”
"If you want any bullshit evidence, you will be arrested and tortured, or you will be recruited in half an hour. I shouldn't have listened to you, just a fool. ”
"This is in the direction of Jinan Mansion, are you sure that he is a bandit? If you take the wrong dignitary, it doesn't matter if I'm a beggar, you eat public food. ”
Yan Lang immediately froze after hearing this, and muttered in his mouth: "Then when will this have to be followed." ”
When the sun set, the carriage entered Jinan Mansion.
The man entered the first-class inn, and we were about to follow up, but when we saw the two thin monkeys in tattered clothes, they didn't feel right.
I asked Yan Lang to go to the inn to watch first, and I took the thin monkey and the donkey to buy the clothes.
Changing into brand new clothes and shoes, the two of them were like that. The donkey jumped and jumped happily, like a child wearing new clothes for the New Year; The thin monkey was much calmer, skillfully arranging his belt.
The thin monkey's surname is Gao, a native of Rongcheng in the north of Zhili, born in a scholarly family, and he lives a solid life. His father is a showman, he has a good article and is famous, and it is only a matter of time before he is admitted to the magistrate, but he somehow offended the magistrate and was arrested in prison and beaten to death. Later, his mother also fell ill and died, leaving him 16 years old to live on the streets, and then the great plague, wrapped in the flow of refugees, arrived in Binh Duong Province.
After being a beggar for so many years, the smell of books in the bones of the thin monkey has never dissipated.
I asked the donkey, "Do you like this dress?" ”
The donkey said: "If you like it, you like it, but I'm afraid that if you wear it, you won't be able to beg for food." ”
I smiled and said, "You kid is really addicted to Hanako!" ”
The donkey laughed silly, and the skinny monkey and I laughed too.
When I returned to the inn, I was bumping into the man who was about to go out, and I bumped into him head-on. The donkey panicked and blocked the way at the door. I hurriedly kicked him and scolded, "You stupid minion, how many times have you told you before entering the city, and you have to hide aside when you meet the lord of the city." ”
The man didn't pay any attention to us and walked away.
Yan Lang was anxious and told me: "I also met with him just now, and if I follow him any longer, I will definitely be suspicious, and I must do it." ”
I estimated that this person was not from Qingfeng Village, so I agreed to follow Yan Lang's meaning.
