Chapter Ninety-Three: Incense

Xie Mulin reacted one step earlier than Xie Huizhi: "If other features can be matched, it doesn't matter if there are moles or not." Such a large black mole is very conspicuous and easy to notice, but at the same time, it will also make people pay attention to the mole and ignore the other physical characteristics of the person. The man may have covered the mole with something, or it is possible that he did not have a mole of his own, but only deliberately disguised it. When he needed to escape from the pursuit, he took the mole down, and when others saw that there was no mole on his face, they ignored him. ”

Xie Huizhi suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Xie Jinzhi: "Does the second brother think so?" Are you sure that short, dark, skinny man is the thief?! ”

Xie Jinzhi smiled: "I can't say for sure, but I think it's very possible." The man hurriedly bought silk clothes in the clothing appraisal shop, as long as they almost fit, even if the workmanship and color were not good, he didn't care, and he didn't even talk about the price, so it was obvious that he was in urgent need of a change of clothes. I listened to the gossip of the people in the store, saying that he was dressed very ordinary, and his gestures were not the style of a rich and noble family, and I couldn't see that he was a person who could take out five taels of silver to buy a few pieces of clothing in one breath, which was too cost-effective. With his wife's figure, it is actually best to make new clothes tailored to the body, rather than buying an old dress that doesn't fit very well. The shopkeeper also asked the man tentatively, why don't you order a new one? The man casually said that he was going to go out in a hurry, and he didn't have time to wait for the new clothes to be made. But...... Is it enough to go out and buy only one set of clothes? ”

Considering that this person's appearance is in line with his wife's figure, and he is in a hurry to go out, as well as changing into silk clothes that do not match his daily clothing habits, there is a suspicion of makeup and dressing, and finally there is the particularity of the location of Beimen Bridge - Xie Jinzhi feels that it is very likely that he will meet the main owner. If this is still a coincidence, it can only be said that it is providence, even if Jiang Shaoliang pounces, there is no loss.

Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi suddenly realized that it made sense. Xie Mulin said: "This is a place where ordinary people live, prosperous, lively, many people and boats, convenient shopping, developed water and land transportation, and there are no dignitaries and nobles to come, at most, there are boats to go to Jiming Temple to incense from time to time, for people who are wanted, it is a very good place to hide in the city." After crossing the North Gate Bridge, it was almost a wilderness, and it was very convenient for the thief couple to escape. Yikes! So, they're about to run away? If you really want to notify Jiang Shaoliang to arrest someone, I'm afraid you have to hurry up. ”

Xie Huizhi smacked his lips: "To be honest, I don't really want these two people to be captured by the Cao family." Although they made the Cao family lose face, they also saved Miss Cao once, right? If it weren't for the Cao family pushing Wang Angui's daughter too hard, she wouldn't have hurt anyone again. Now the Cao family is trying to save Miss Cao's reputation, and they will hunt down these two thieves with revenge, which is too shameless. ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "Although what they do makes you feel very happy, but thieves are thieves, they are not newcomers, but familiar hands who have been in this industry for many years, and I don't know how many people have suffered." On this point, they should also be sent to justice. According to me, don't tell the people of the Cao family, just report it to the government directly. We also know a few familiar errand soldiers, why don't we ask them to earn a small credit? ”

Xie Jinzhi said: "I asked you to go to Jiang Shaoliang, not to hand people over to the Cao family. He paused, "I'm not sure about that." Anyway, the third brother just did what I said. Jiang Shaoliang was originally a smart and upright person, but he had no choice but to put on a pair of unconscious parents, so he could only be entangled in profits, and it was a pity to draw from the camp. However, as long as it is not an important matter involving his family and life, his character is still reliable. If we show favor to him, he will reciprocate. ”

Xie Jinzhi's words were somewhat meaningful, and Xie Mulin always felt that he seemed to be hinting at something.

However, neither she nor Xie Huizhi asked, because Xie Yingrong came out.

Xie Yingrong took off the precious beaded flowers, changed the luxurious skirt, and replaced it with a bamboo-blue coarse silk pleated skirt, which was bought from a clothing appraisal store, and embroidered a few flowers on the skirt by herself, although it was not as good as the original skirt, it was also very fine and beautiful.

Xie Yingrong carefully sorted out the flowers on her sideburns, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Is this okay?" Can you go?! She was dressed so simply, she couldn't help but want to borrow her aunt's fat powder for use, and she was forced by Aunt Dajin to wash her face, so she had to come out like a village girl. Thinking that she might use this appearance to see Jiang Shaoliang for a while, she felt that she had lost all her face.

Xie Mulin looked at her a few times, pursed his lips, and did not find fault again. It's not early, so they don't have that much time to waste!

So the four brothers and sisters of the Xie family finally walked out of the door and embarked on the road to Wangjia Hutong.

They walked through the alley to the riverside pier. I met many neighbors along the way, and I have met often in recent days, and I have become a little familiar with each other. Xie Hui greeted him all the way, and countless people accosted him and stuffed a few fruits into his hands. Xie Jinzhi also smiled at people from time to time, and an old lady asked him to help write a letter to his family, and he readily agreed, and he would go back in the evening.

Xie Yingrong took a muslin cloth to cover his face all the way, not only because he didn't want to smell the unpleasant smell outside, but also because he was afraid that people would see his face, so he felt a little disgusted in his heart, and his face showed a little bit. However, when she saw Xie Mulin's down-and-out appearance, and there were no men who were rude to him and said something unclean, she couldn't help but be a little sneering.

She was still a twelve-year-old girl and seemed to ...... I don't have that eye-catching feminine charm yet.

No one paid any attention to her from beginning to end, at most someone looked at her twice, but quickly looked away again. This made Xie Yingrong feel a little depressed.

When the group came to the dock, Xie Huizhi called the boatman he knew well on weekdays and beckoned his brothers and sisters to get on the boat. As soon as they stepped on the deck of the ship, Xie Huizhi suddenly whispered, "Quick! Get into the cabin! ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin quickly got into the canopy, Xie Yingrong was a step behind, he didn't react, he was directly pushed by Xie Huizhi, and almost fell.

She was very dissatisfied, and turned around and asked sharply, "What are you doing?!" ”

Xie Huizhi also quickly got in: "Be quiet!" The Cao family's boat is coming. ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, Xie Mulin hurriedly went to the edge of the canopy at the stern to take a peek, and sure enough, he saw a gorgeous big boat with the flag of "Cao" slowly sailing by, crowding the boats on both sides of the river and almost hitting the shore.

Xie Huizhi sat down steadily, and Fang whispered: "I recognize the mother-in-law standing on the deck, she followed Mrs. Chengenhou out. The big girl next to Cao Rong's mother seemed to be on the boat and was talking to the mother-in-law. ”

The girls and mothers-in-law all follow the master. Since this ship is owned by the Cao family, it is likely that Mrs. Chengenhou and Cao Rong's mother, Cao Su, are on board.

Xie Jinzhi said in a low voice: "Where are they going by boat passing through here?" He watched as the boat went farther and farther away, as it passed through the hole in the North Gate Bridge and disappeared into the distant river.

Xie Mulin muttered, "This is the waterway that pilgrims often walk. Are they going to Jiming Temple to offer incense? The ......, who is not a year or a festival, paused, "It can't be for the fire of the Wang family, go to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and by the way, ward off evil spirits, right?" ”
