Chapter 174: Disguise
Yun Genggeng and a few people drove for a long time, the roads outside the city are mostly small roads, and it rained again last night, which is not easy to walk, and it is very muddy.
Yun Genggen ate the candied fruit brought by Xiao Wei, and his dizziness was relieved a lot. In the car, I was also thinking about other things, so I closed my eyes and began to look at what had happened recently. It's just that although she is in the center, many things are very shallow, so she doesn't sort out any key things.
Yun Geng was dazed, and suddenly the carriage stopped, but fortunately, Si Linche had been watching her, so he barely stabilized his figure: "What's wrong?"
Si Linche opened the curtain and looked at it, and said, "When I arrived, the carriage in front of me couldn't walk, so I could only walk."
Yun Genggen had to carry his skirt and walk on the dirt road in the countryside, and after about half an hour, there were few villages on the road, at most only a few scattered houses, very desolate.
Yun Geng was confused for a while, and he wished the wind to come to this sparsely populated city
What to do in the place, but the route given by Xu Chenlong must be no problem, so he had to continue walking.
At this time, it happened to be the most poisonous hour of the sun in the afternoon, and several people couldn't help but be thirsty after walking such a long distance. I was worried that I didn't take the kettle down, and I saw a grass shed not far away, hanging with the word "big herbal tea".
Yun Geng was very thirsty, and hurriedly walked forward to look, only to see an old man sitting in the grass shed, who was a little drowsy fanning a pu fan, with a wooden barrel on the side, filled with the refreshing smell of herbal tea.
"Uncle, how much is herbal tea?" Yun Genggen knocked on the table and asked.
"Wuwen." Then the uncle came to his senses, got up, took the empty bowl and poured it for a few people, and then sat back in his place.
The shop was crowded, the table was narrow, and the four of them must not be able to sit down, so they separated and let Xiao Wei and Si Yi go to the same table.
After taking a few sips of herbal tea, the place around him was still empty, and when Yun Genggen turned around, he saw that Si Linche was still standing at the old man's place, which was a little strange. I saw that the next moment Si Linche smiled at the old man, the two looked at each other for a while, whispered something, and the old man shook his head and stood up.
This time he got up differently from Fang Cai's rickets, but a particularly upright posture, not at all like an old man, but like a man in the prime of life.
Yun Geng was taken aback for a while, walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Si Linche smiled: "Take a closer look, who is this person."
Hearing this, Yun Geng looked at it fixedly, but he didn't feel it, but now he straightened his waist, but he suddenly understood whose courage it was, wasn't it Xu Chenlong!
"It's me," Xu Chenlong no longer deliberately lowered his voice, and pointed to his face: "I am here to investigate the matter of Zhu Feng, and when I saw you coming, I wanted to deceive you, but I didn't expect to be recognized by Si Gongzi all of a sudden."
"It's amazing," Yun Genggen turned his head and said curiously, "Lin Che, how did you recognize it?"
"First of all, the palm and the shape," Si Linche pointed to Xu Chenlong's hand: "It stands to reason that the old man's hands will be rougher, with many wrinkles and spots, and his body will also shrink, which is a change in the bones, and the limbs can't be pretended."
"And then there's Lord Xu's voice, I've investigated this kind of pretending voice before, so I can tell it." Si Linche went to the table and drank the herbal tea, moistened his throat, and said warmly.
"What's so difficult about this," Xiao Wei on the side has been paying attention to this side, and after resting, he came over, leaned on the table, and said: "The voice and demeanor can also be more forced, it just takes more time, I have also learned some of this disguise technique, and the craftsmanship is not bad."
Si Linche knew that Xiao Wei was Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei's skills were very wide, and it was not surprising that he could use a disguise technique. But thinking of what happened in the carriage before, I couldn't help but feel sour, and even if I changed the topic, I said to Xu Chenlong: "How did Lord Xu plan it?"
Xu Chenlong took advantage of the words to resume the posture of the elderly, and said slowly: "Although it seems to be desolate here, it is the only way to enter the city, and many merchants will pass by here every day, and Qingyuan is not a big city, so most of the traders often come and go here, and the number of times is frequent, and it is possible to see Zhufeng."
"I have seen Zhu Feng many times in the Black Tiger Village before, he is indeed not a brutal person as Zhu Kui said, although he has learned martial arts, he has never bullied the weak," Xu Chenlong lowered his eyes, paused, and continued: "He treats people politely, without the reckless appearance of a bandit, everyone who has seen him will have some impressions, so I will become a shopkeeper here, pouring tea and talking at the same time."
A few people were listening intently, and there was a sudden noise at the opposite table, which turned out to be a group of vendors in Xu Chenlong's mouth. The weather was hot, and they were all clamoring for tea, so Xu Chenlong brought it over one by one, not half of the color, but really like a shopkeeper.
Yun Genggeng felt a burst of admiration in his heart, and it happened that Xu Chenlong's gaze swept to this side, so he winked at Yun Genggeng and motioned for her to continue looking.
Xu Chenlong poured the tea and didn't rush back, and when he heard the vendors talking about making profits, he stepped forward and pointed to the notice posted on the pillar of the straw shed, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you might as well look at what is written on that piece of paper."
A few people were also curious, and they all joined in the fun to see it. And what they were looking at was Zhu Feng's missing person notice. This idea was casually given to Xu Chenlong by Si Linche in the Yamen, and Xu Chenlong felt reasonable, so he wrote a few posts and posted them. It's just that there are some differences in that Zhu Feng in the missing person notice is a farmer, still alive, but lost.
Several vendors chattered and discussed for a while, and suddenly a person stood up, came to Xu Chenlong and said, "I know this person, I can give you a little clue."
Yun Genggen and the others were secretly listening, and when they heard the words, their eyes lit up, and they listened attentively.
"This person is my little hair, we grew up together," the vendor glanced at Xu Chenlong a few times, and said: "He has a bad temper, he often beats people, and his old mother can't get out of bed, and the people in our village are very unaccustomed to him."
When Yun Genggen heard this, where was he talking about Zhu Feng, it was just another irrelevant person, so he couldn't help but ask: "Are you really talking about Zhu Feng?"
"Of course, I can't lie to you," the vendor rolled his eyes, and smiled flatteringly at Xu Chenlong: "I have already provided the clues, is there a reward?"
Several people sighed, it turned out that this person was a cheater, Xiao Wei smiled and said, "This notice doesn't say that there is a silver reward."
The vendor's face was red, his neck was stalked, but he was about to start letting go, and said to Xu Chenlong: "I have already given you the news, you must give me the silver, otherwise I will make trouble with your stall here."
Yun Geng said: "Then let me ask you, since you said that you grew up with Zhu Feng, what are the names of his parents?"
The first question made the vendor choke, and seeing that he hadn't answered, this time he knew that he was embarrassed, scolded twice, and walked away with a red face.
"It seems that it is not easy to know some information." Yun Genggen looked at his back and said helplessly.
