Chapter 130: Five Coins of Silver
Reading this question, I asked Yakumo. Yakumo sent the article back in a hurry, and after copying the article, he left home in a hurry, and he really didn't ask about it.
"This ......" Nian Yi anxiously paced back and forth in the room, and the sound of footsteps walking back and forth could even drown out the cries of selling along the river outside the window.
Finally, he made up his mind and said to Yakumo, "You help me to ask!" Ask her when she left and where she is going! ”
"What do you ask about?"
"I want to go to her!" Nian Yi urged, "Go quickly!" It's too late! ”
Yakumo didn't mean to move, but asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly remember to look for her?" ”
"When I read her "Wanjiayan" before, I thought it was strange why I thought of writing such a story at such a young age."
Yakumo wondered, "Didn't she say that she happened to hear the relevant news and felt it?" ”
What if this is just prevarication? In my opinion, that Cheng Wei must have been to Xiajiang in person. However, he was still young, and he was a woman, and it was dangerous to go down the river at that time, and it was not good to tell the truth to his reputation. I want to talk to her in person and ask a question! ”
"But they're gone."
Nian Yi was stunned, stomped his feet suddenly, and said anxiously: "Then you go quickly!" Find out where she's going soon! I'm going to catch up, too! ”
After that, Nian glanced at Yakumo, "If you want to stay longer, I can go by myself." ”
"You and I travel together, how can there be any reason to leave me and go by myself? I went home, and I happened to be passing by the door! If you don't go back, the family will come to the door and talk endlessly! ”
As soon as the words fell, Yakumo stretched out his hand towards Nianichi.
Nian Yi frowned and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Five pennies of silver."
As soon as Nian stretched out his hand, he slapped Yakumo's palm, "You want to pit me again!" ”
Yakumo smiled slyly and said, "If you don't give it to me, I won't help you ask!" Feel free to give or not! ”
Nian Yi was stunned one by one, and hatefully took out five coins of silver from his purse and slapped it on the table, "Hurry up and ask!" I'll leave tomorrow! ”
"Tomorrow?" Yakumo knew that time was pressing, but he didn't expect it to be so urgent, "You've just arrived here." ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with anyone later! If you're afraid that the night won't be safe, I'll go now! ”
Yakumo felt that the person in front of him was hopeless, so he shook his head, grabbed the five coins and stuffed it into his pocket, and walked out happily.
As soon as the person left, he paced back and forth in the room irritably, and suddenly took out a copy of "Wan Jiayan" from his baggage.
The place names that appear in the book "Wanjiayan" are all fictitious, but when I was studying in Beijing before, I found that these fictitious place names have prototypes. And this also confirms the conjecture that "Chengwei has been to Xiajiang".
If he remembers correctly, among the many places described in the article, the closest to Xingchuan is Yuanning in Xinzhou County.
Just like reading a thing, Li Jiangwei's first stop is indeed Yuan Ning.
Before she entered Yuanning City, the driver of the car saw the robbers blocking the road from a distance.
The coachman trembled and said, "This girl...... Ahead! There's a robber ahead! ”
Li Jiangwei lifted the curtain of the door and saw the robber mentioned by the coachman.
"Leave them alone, just rush over!"
"But ......" The coachman glanced at the posture in front of him, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Really...... Do you really want to rush over? ”
"Man is flesh and blood, can he stop the carriage?"
"Can't we take a detour?" The coachman was scared and said, "Girl...... I am old and young, and I still have to keep this life to support my family! ”
Li Jiangwei couldn't cry or laugh, but it was difficult to explain to him. Where the coachman could not see, the black ink had already enveloped the entire carriage, and ordinary swords were useless.
"What do you want me to do before you dare to drive?" Li Jiangwei said helplessly: "If you see that the momentum is not right, you can run by yourself." ”
The coachman was very embarrassed, but when he saw Li Jiangwei give another ingot of silver, he made up his mind.
"Girl, I'll listen to you this time, if it doesn't work, don't blame me for throwing the girl and running away."
"Hmm." Li Jiangwei responded lightly, grasping the door curtain with her hands, her eyes staring ahead.
The coachman took a deep breath, raised his whip, and shouted, "Drive! The whip was thrown at the horse, and with a neigh, the horse sprang into motion.
The robbers who blocked the way had never seen such a lifeless posture, and after a moment's pause, they raised their machetes and slashed at the carriage. Obviously, the machete was indeed cut down, but the carriage was not damaged at all, and it was even getting faster and faster.
The bandits didn't make any money, not to mention heavy losses. One person was trampled by a horse, and another was hit by a carriage. The rest of the people could only watch from afar as the fat sheep sent to the door walked away.
"This ......" The man who was injured clutched his chest and said in surprise, "What kind of person is this...... Why is this carriage invulnerable? ”
When they had fled away, the coachman breathed a sigh of relief and let the carriage slow down.
"How did the girl know they couldn't stop the carriage?"
"It's not that they can't stop the carriage, it's that they can't stop me." Li Jiangwei said lightly: "If you change guests in the future, don't go on a rampage like this one." Should there be a detour, or should there be a detour. ”
The coachman faintly felt that the seemingly weak little girl behind him was not simple, no wonder this little girl dared to go to Xiajiang alone, he no longer dared to underestimate it.
Coming to Yuanning City, Li Jiangwei found the inn where she lived last time according to her memory. After moving in, summon the "Seeing and Hearing" and analyze the case description attached to the previous letter.
In this former Ning County, there have also been cases of disappearance, and no specific cause has been found until now. The most troublesome thing is that there is no specific missing person in this disappearance case, but a rumor.
It is not terrible to have rumors in only one city, but it is terrible that rumors of disappearance have appeared in several cities and several areas far away at the same time.
This is a bit intriguing.
Li Jiangwei took out an old patched dress from the package and changed it. Stand in the room and take a deep breath and switch your "vision". The flow of information entered Li Jiangwei's field of vision, and the attributes of each object were clearly revealed. Among all the information, only the blue color could not be seen. In desperation, Li Jiangwei had no choice but to lift the state.
In this Yuanning county seat, Li Jiangwei should have acquaintances.
Li Jiangwei used "Seeing and Hearing" to restore Fan Gang's appearance, and then took out the translucent paper prepared in advance and covered it with "Seeing and Hearing" and copied it. Li Jiangwei can't draw, but she can still see copying. She left the inn with the portrait and went to the place where Fan Gang had previously lived.
As Li Jiangwei expected, Fan Gang no longer lives here. Li Jiangwei held the portrait and inquired about the past one by one. While inquiring, let "Seeing and Hearing" record the information of these people.
Until the sun set in the west, no one had ever seen the person in the portrait, but "Seeing and Hearing" collected a lot of new information.
She knew that the task given to her by the emperor was not so easy to complete.
