Chapter 256: Dog Fights Human Power
Yeluda and Ling Xiu'er came to Tu County in disguise, and as soon as they walked to the city gate, they saw Cao Yu's wanted notice.
The two were puzzled, but how could the two of them never believe that Cao Yu would be wanted, what could he do with such an honest and gentle person?
So Ling Xiu'er found a better position and went up to take a closer look, and heard two big brothers next to her discussing, only to hear an honest big brother say regretfully: "I really can't think of it... Cao Yu is such a talented person who can steal! It's unbelievable..."
Another eldest brother also echoed and said: "Yes, Cao Yu is responsible and honest in doing things, this doesn't look like something he will do!" I don't know what's going on..."
The person who said this had received the favor of Cao Yu, and when the two brothers returned to the village after failing in the imperial examination, they received a lot of white eyes and ridicule.
These people, when you may have a chance, they will compliment you in every way, for fear that you will not remember that he is good to you, but when you are not promising, I wish to be as far away from you as possible, and avoid you like a plague god.
But Cao Yu didn't, Cao Yu not only didn't look down on them, but also came to the two to discuss their experience and knowledge, so that the two really received respect.
Therefore, the duo's cognition and evaluation of Cao Yu have always been not bad. It can even be said that it is more supportive.
After listening to this, Ling Xiu'er also left the city gate, and the two came to the inn to sit down, and when they were about to order food and eat, they also heard the people in the inn talking about it.
The two people at the next table they passed by also happened to be discussing Cao Yu's affairs. This time it was an old man and a young man.
I only heard the old man say: "That kid from the Cao family has an upright temperament, and he will definitely not do that kind of thing." I guess I offended someone, whether there was any power in the family, so I was forced to put this thing on the table, good boy, pitiful..."
The young man disagreed with the old man's words, and retorted, "Do you know his temperament again? If you want me to see it, he is pretending, he is indifferent to fame and fortune on weekdays, and he is pretending, otherwise how can he explain the loss of so much money in Buzhuang? If you want me to see, he just pretends to be on weekdays! ”
Ling Xiu'er and the others didn't stop to ask, they already knew the general situation, Cao Yu was framed nine times out of ten, but now this is no longer important.
Now the first task is to find Cao Yu first, he is alone outside to avoid the pursuit and wanted of the officers and soldiers, it is too difficult, and it is easy to be exposed if you are not careful...
As soon as Ling Xiu'er entered the inn, she booked a private room with Xiao Er, and then went straight upstairs.
In the private room, Yeluda and Ling Xiu'er began to discuss how to find Cao Yu.
Jeroda proposes to receive: "Why don't we leave him a signal and let him come to us himself?" Ling Xiu'er felt that it was not good, and said: "I don't think this is good, because if someone else says that the signal has been found, or that he is afraid of being followed, or that he has seen it, but there is no way to come?" That may not only expose himself, but also expose us with him, and then no one will be able to pick us up outside, and then the three of us will go to prison together. ”
Yeluda thought about it and felt that what Ling Xiu'er said was reasonable, so she asked, "Then what do you say you should do?" ”
"There's nothing I can do now, I'll just go and see where he might have been, and then we'll look for it. And I still want to know the specific situation of his accident, so I decided to ask someone first, find these neighbors, ask them all, inquire about it, and see if I can get some clues from it. Ling Xiu'er said.
Yeluda thought for a moment, and then said, "Then you should be safe, and if you really can't do it, go find the place where he likes, maybe he will leave his mark there, maybe someone else will be there." ”
Ling Xiu'er replied, "I know. Then I'll go home first and see if I can find out some news about him running away from home. ”
"Well, okay, you go, stay safe." Jeroda replied.
As they were talking, the two heard a knock on the door, and when they opened the door, the shopkeeper was about to deliver food to the two, and after serving the food on the table, he asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask the two customers if they are foreigners?" ”
Ling Xiu'er smiled and said, "No, I'm a local." ”
The smile on the shopkeeper's face stiffened for a moment, and then he resumed his smile and said, "Hmm! Okay, okay, the two guest officers eat and drink well, the little one will go down first, and it will be good to say hello if you need anything. ”
After a polite exchange, the shopkeeper left sneakily.
Yeluda and Ling Xiu'er quickly finished eating, and Ling Xiu'er did not rest or pause, and went to Buzhuang after eating.
Then I went inside to ask the shopkeeper and said, "I am the person in charge of the Beijing branch, and I came to pick up the goods." ”
When the shopkeeper heard that Ling Xiu'er was from the capital, he didn't dare to slack off, so he moved a chair for Ling Xiu'er with a very good attitude, let her sit, and said respectfully to her: "Wait a minute, our boss will come soon." ”
Ling Xiu'er inquired casually: "I heard that this cloth village was stolen money not long ago, and I saw a wanted notice when I just entered the city gate just now, is there really such a thing?" ”
The guy said casually: "There is really such a thing, that is, after that person left, we lost a lot of property, and then the proprietress said that it should be him who stole it, because he left after he left, the property disappeared, and he disappeared as soon as he left, mainly because he also left a sachet on his body, which he carried with him, so it was determined that he was a thief who stole it." ”
"Oh, I see, do you think he stole it?" Ling Xiu'er seemed to have a casual question.
The guy was about to answer Ling Xiu'er and said, "Actually, I can't say anything about this, but..."
"But I'm really embarrassed, I didn't know that the person in charge of the capital was here, and I blamed me for the slow news, so I said it was late, and I asked the girl to forgive me." Fan Meihua came to meet and interrupted the conversation between the two.
Fan Meihua didn't recognize Ling Xiu'er, but felt familiar.
Ling Xiu'er said that she would find Fan Meihua to buy 100,000 horses of silk. Fan Meihua said no. rejected Ling Xiu'er. (Fan Meihua was ready to give all the silk to Shangshu, and sold it privately to fill his pocket.) )
Ling Xiu'er heard that there was no, and the news was also inquired, so she didn't dwell on it anymore. Turn and leave.
After Ling Xiu'er left, the guy said to Fan Meihua: "Boss, we have Tian Silk, why don't you give it to the headquarters?" Fan Meihua scolded: "Don't worry about it, just do your part, and she will say no when she comes back in the future!" ”
Ling Xiu'er returned to the inn and found Yeluda being searched. Li Zhu saw Ling Xiu'er come back, and asked her to go over with her to cooperate with the search.
