Chapter 516: Undercurrent (11)
In the lens of the telescope, a green cloth sedan chair heads north along the riverbank. Sometimes it is hidden in the shade of greenery, sometimes it walks through the crowds, and sometimes it is completely blocked by the houses on the shore. Compared with the movement of pedestrians on the street, the speed of the sedan chair is not slow, and it seems that the sedan chair rider has given enough money to the sedan chair driver.
"Han Ju, how can I stop that thief and can't startle the snake? Is it to check the yellow and white card? Liang Ruguo asked while watching.
"Not bad! The official judged that the sedan chair going south was just smoke, and there were people in this sedan chair! Han Wendou replied casually.
Liang Ruguo's weakly drooping left arm attracted Han Wendou's attention. He rummaged through his past memories in his head, hoping to find information about the company-level sergeant, but was disappointed.
Liang Ruguo took the telescope off his eyes and returned it to the people of the Shu'an Bureau. If such a good thing is used on the tower of the East Gate, then the fires and riots outside the city can be seen at a glance, and supplemented by the Lingqi wind lantern, the police can be mobilized in time and the police can be dispatched day and night.
But such good things will only be issued to the Protector Army, not to the officials.
Liang Ruguo pressed the loss in his heart, and asked, "What should I do if I find it?" ”
"Please go to the police shop, register, and let go. Note that, in addition to fingerprints, it is important to remember exactly what he looks like, what he is, what he is like. Do you have a painter in your police shop...... It's okay if you don't. Anyway, we're staring him to death. In this way, even if he escapes from Chengdu, he will not be able to escape Sichuan! ”
"The Korean Bureau wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish?"
"Exactly! The official judged that although the thief detective knew that there were people from the Shu'an Bureau near the Zhenwu Palace, he had not yet confirmed whether he had been exposed. Han Wendou explained carefully, not daring to reveal too much information about the identity of the thief and the big fish, "Therefore, it is likely that he deliberately went around a few times to see if there was a tail behind him." Especially in the vicinity of the True Martial Shrine! If he feels safe, he picks up his accomplices and runs away together! At that time, we'll catch them all! ”
When the Han Bureau mentioned Zhenwu Palace, Liang Ruguo immediately thought of Wu Jishan's arrangement this morning. He told Wu Jishan about Wu Jishan's order to close the Zhenwu Palace, and talked about his own arrangements and the worries of his subordinates.
In front of Liang Ruguo and many subordinates, Han Wendou's nameless fire that had been suppressed for a long time finally came out.
Damn, bad things are coming!
Han Wendou got angry, thought about it and shook his head helplessly:
"That's no way, I have to check the card when I see someone! This officer knows that you are short of manpower, do you have any extra police uniforms on the police shop? Let the people of the official put it on! Prepare a set for this officer, too! ”
……
Li Xiping, the head of the Wenchang Palace police shop, walked on the scorching streets.
He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a black arrow-sleeved tunics, a pair of black cloth shoes, and his calves are wrapped in gray-and-white old lines. He was followed by an old policeman and an unknown man.
The three of them were dressed in the same outfits, the same ugly, and the same unbearably hot.
The noisy crowd outside the gate of Zhenwu Palace was right in front of you. Li Xiping pulled out the baton on his waist and ordered: "Check separately!" Men before women, strong first and then old and weak women and children! ”
"Shop chief, the people asked why the little one sealed the Zhenwu Palace, how did the little one answer?" The old servant nodded and asked with a smile.
Li Xiping waved the baton painted with miscellaneous wood and tried the feel. The baton is thick and a foot long, half black and half white, and it is very heavy, and it should be very painful to beat someone.
"Didn't Sheriff Liang order? Don't say anything stupid about sealing the palace! IT IS SAID THAT WANG ZHENREN, WHO IS PERSONALLY SEALED BY THE PRINCE, IS ABOUT TO GO TO ZHENWU PALACE TO PRACTICE, AND ZHENWU PALACE WILL BE RENOVATED (QI) SPRINKLED AND SWEPT TO WELCOME THE NOBLES! ”
"I don't know where that Wang Zhenren came from? How is the Ziyang real person of Qingyang Palace...... When the people asked, the little one had a rhetoric...... "The old policeman still laughed with him, but he kept asking questions.
Hearing this, Li Xiping, who was already angry in his heart, suddenly scolded back: "Zi is silent, and the power is confused!" The head of this shop is a Confucian student, how do you know what those bull-nosed Taoist priests are? Since the prince is personally sealed, Wang Zhenren must have a background! Do you dare to question the will of your old king? ”
"How many heads does the little one have? How dare you question the prince! The old policeman hurriedly laughed and explained, "The little one is just afraid of the people's ......."
Seeing a few people coming with sweat on their faces, with a gloomy look on their faces, Li Xiping hurriedly stopped: "Okay! We just do the good work! Pay attention to police-community relations! ”
After speaking, he put the baton under his ribs, took out a bamboo whistle from the pocket of his police uniform, put it in his mouth and blew it several times. Seeing this, the old policeman quickly followed up, raised his voice and shouted loudly:
"I was ordered by the county to check the yellow and white cards! Beware of thugs blending into the crowd! ”
When Li Xiping, the old policeman interacted with the people, the unknown person behind Li Xiping did not speak.
He was a middle-aged man, with a bare chin, a medium build, and a slightly bulging belly, which looked a little fat.
His eyes were always smiling, but from time to time there was a glimmer of light in his smile.
Soon, he found the target he was looking for through the cracks in the people:
The half-old green cloth sedan chair is coming in the willow shade on the bank of the river.
The middle-aged man gave Li Xiping a look, and slowly moved to the middle of the road, which blocked the way of the sedan chair.
……
Lu Yi snuggled under a willow tree, covering her figure with the thick trunk and several young women playing and laughing in front of her.
The sedan chair was indeed stopped by the police, which made him feel both happy and afraid. If you don't pay more attention and make an empty car, then you have now been invited to the police shop to register.
Leaning against the trunk of a tree, he looked at the turquoise waters of the Tangtang River (Note 1), calmly estimating his current situation and thinking about his next move.
Could it be that he and Ma Gong and his party have been completely exposed? Lu Yi never wanted to believe it.
Because this means that Zou Zhenggang's captured confession means ...... It even means that the imperial order of Zhu Pingjin, the prince of Sichuan, was completely leaked before he left the interior!
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, Zou Zhenggang was only exposed, but not captured and confessed. The people of the Shu Palace's Mansion saw Zou Zhenggang moving near the Zhenwu Palace, so they touched the melon and noticed the Zhenwu Palace.
Of course, Lu Yi believed that Zou Zhenggang was just exposed. It was difficult for him to understand that with Zou Zhenggang's good skills, he would be caught by mistake. However, the actions of those black-clothed people in the distance clearly reminded him all the time: be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
The most urgent thing now is not himself, but Ma Gong in the teahouse. If the man in black does not relent, and continues to investigate, until he finds the teahouse, what will happen to Ma Gong and the others who do not have a white card?
You need to find a way to slip over and remind Ma Gong to evacuate immediately!
Pretending to be a woman? Lu Yi stared at the colorful clothes of the women in front of her, thinking viciously. However, he touched the stiff beard on his chin and immediately laughed to himself in denial.
Slipping across the river in a boat? But this is not a dock, and shouting loudly will expose the ship more quickly.
What about breaking through? A hard thing is tied under the forearm, always reminding the owner of his own existence. No, Lu Yi denied it again. His own death is small, but the emperor's errand is big......
Lu Yi racked his brains, and was thinking about it, Leng Buding slapped him on the shoulder with a big hand, and then a cold voice exploded in his ears:
"The black skins check the yellow and white cards, you're scared!"
Before the person behind him could say anything, Lu Yi had already turned around in an instant, hugged the neck of the person who came, and a sharp blade pressed against the abdomen of the person who came:
"Who are you? What does it mean? ”
Unexpectedly, this hand did not scare the visitor. The man just blinked his triangular thief eyes, moved his thin torso, and looked up contemptuously and blew a strong smoky breath on Lu Yi's face.
"I can't imagine that Brother Tai is still a practitioner who is used to going to the rivers and lakes! It seems that today this business is done! ”
"What business has become?" Lu Yi roared, and the tip of the knife continued to approach.
The person who came listened to the question, just gently brushed Lu Yi away with a finger:
"I haven't even heard of the old style of the East Gate, and I dare to swagger on the streets of Jinguan City!
The contemptible people on the street are called two bastards, specializing in handling all kinds of licenses and documents, and carving the official seal!
Land deeds, land deeds, house deeds, deeds of sale, tax stamps, road strips, official documents, and decrees of the Shu Prince's Mansion are all ......"
"Including yellow and white cards?" Lu Yi turned his anger into joy.
"Don't talk about the yellow and white cards, it's the holy decree, and the two bastards will get it for you!"
"How did you notice me? Could it be ......" Lu Yi turned from joy to surprise again.
"Exactly on board. The foot of the car and boat shop, the innocent should also be killed, three hundred years ago it was a family! ”
I see! Thinking of the rapping boatman, Lu Yi became depressed. But after thinking about it, he smiled and asked:
"I wonder what my brother plans to do with my business?"
"As long as you can give the money!" The second bastard showed a proud and smug look, "Only you can't think of it, no contemptible person can't do it!" ”
Good! Lu Yi was overjoyed. But Heeze only stayed on his face for a moment. He knew that people with such skills would generally ask for a lot of money.
"How much does a white card cost?"
"Who still uses copper coins to do what we do?" The two bastards said to Lu Yi with disdain. He first raised a little finger, and then stretched out a slap, "I don't know if Brother Tai wants to be licensed or parallel?" Parallel goods are one penny, and licensed goods are fifty taels! ”
Fifty taels!
Lao Tzu is the third product of the capital of the camp, how much is a month's money! Lu Yi scolded in her heart. However, he did not refuse. He knows that now he has no capital to refuse. So Lu Yi stabilized his mind and patiently inquired about the difference between parallel goods and licensed goods.
The second bastard quickly took out two cards from his sleeve and handed them to Lu Yi for appreciation:
"Parallel goods will fool outsiders, and when they meet patrol police, hehe...... Brother Tai had to ask for more blessings! Brother Tai is such a hero, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, it is best to get a licensed goods to protect himself! ”
It turned out that this yellow and white card was very similar to the silver banknotes and tax stamps in Shudi, and they were all printed on a special paper with a secret mark. The secret mark is commonly known as the watermark, facing the sun, you can vaguely see the true face of Taizu. Ordinary counterfeiting workshops can't imitate it at all, and inferior imitations are taken by the police and touched to show up.
The licensed goods are different, and a blank genuine card is used. Except for the name, place of origin, address and other hand-filled registration information, the rest of the numbers, seals, etc. are all genuine. Even if the police check their fingerprints, they are not afraid. Because the fingerprint is pressed by the cardholder himself. As long as the police do not bother to get back to the police station to check the registered card, they will definitely not be exposed. And the white card is held by outsiders, and there is no deposit at all, how can it be exposed?
Since it's a real card, it must have been made from inside the police station. Lu Yi thought of the word "ya" at the end of "car and ship shop", and sneered in his heart. The world is as black as a crow, and the officialdom of Shu seems to be clear and clean, but in fact, the general sewage flows!
"Four Licensed Goods!" Lu Yi took out a thick pile of silver bills and shook them in front of the two bastards, "The old rule on the rivers and lakes: after doing business, we will break up, we have never seen each other!" ”
"The little brother is asking for it!" The second bastard laughed. As he spoke, he took out a large stack of white cards from his bosom and a quill dipped in ink, "Let's get down to business first." The first item: Where does Brother Tai want to fill in? ”
Where are the people?
Of course not in Suncheonfu.
Lu Yi thought for a moment and replied: "Beizhili Shunde Mansion (Note 2) Julu County Jiazhuang Artemisia Water Bridge. ”
Note 1: Today, the water of the Minjiang River enters the irrigation mouth, and it is still green in color. But after Chengdu, it turned gray. The weight of the pollution is shocking. Poor people in Shanghai, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, don't know what kind of water to drink?
Note 2: Shunde Mansion in the Ming Dynasty was not Shunde, Guangdong, but Xingtai City, Hebei Province.
