Chapter 249: Arrest
"You can rest assured that they are all the same as before, registered, clear, and detailed."
Xie Jingyi nodded and closed the account book, "I'll come back next month." If there is something urgent, go to find honeysuckle. ”
As she spoke, she stretched her waist and went out the door, touched her ears, turned over, sat down, and shook her feet happily.
Why do you want to open so many shops, why do you have to work hard to open a clothing shop, money is certainly a reason, but the more important reason is for today. It is impossible for her Xie Jingyi to go to everyone's backyard, but the person who sews clothes can.
It is impossible for Xie Jingyi to know who is dead and what is strange, but the people in the coffin shop can.
Weddings and funerals, birth, old age, sickness and death...... Today's web is just beginning to weave...... Xie Jingyi thought about it, raised her hand and compared the height, when Yan Wei was so high, her net would probably be finished.
She is still very young in this life, and she is not in a hurry at all.
……
The spring season has passed, and those newly promoted scholars who have passed the examination have quietly entered the ranks and began to accept the beating of officialdom.
The topic of the imperial examination in Tokyo has stopped.
Yesterday, a light rain knocked down the last few apricot blossoms, and if you look carefully, on the branches, I don't know when, there are almost invisible green fruits. In two months, this apricot blossom alley will be crowded with children beating apricots.
It has been an hour since Zhao Jue's agreed time.
The third house on the right of Xinghua Lane is already closed, not to mention people, it is wild cats and wild dogs, and there is no one.
Xie Jingyi looked in the direction of his right, where there was a passing vendor Zhao Shopkeeper who was carrying a burden to sell candy, at this time it was time to rest, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no business, Zhao Shopkeeper was bored and picked up a sugar man and shook it in his hand.
This is the code they have agreed on a long time ago, which means that if nothing is found, whether they want to go in and investigate.
Xie Jingyi took the last piece of dim sum on the plate and handed it to Guan Huizhi, "The apricot cake in this teahouse is good, let's make an appointment with my sister next time." ”
Guan Huizhi took it with some disappointment, "It's just average." ”
Dr. Cha, who was standing on the side and waiting, listened to it and retorted unconvinced, "This little lady is not right, our dim sum in Xinghua Lane is notoriously delicious." This apricot blossom cake, it is only done every year when the apricot blossoms bloom, it rained yesterday, the flowers all fell, this piece in your hand, I'm afraid it's the last piece. If you eat it again, you'll have to wait until next year. ”
Most of the apricot blossom cakes in the next place are made with honey-pickled apricot blossoms, or directly with apricot nectar, and only the apricot blossom cakes in this apricot blossom alley are only made with fresh petals.
It was noon, there were not many people in the teahouse, and Dr. Tea was bored standing there, so he picked up his mouth.
He wanted to say more, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the horsewhip on Guan Huizhi's waist, and then looked at her dress, and ran away in a panic.
Most of the little ladies of the reading family are delicate and easy to talk; But the daughter of this military general's family, she will be whipped if she disagrees.
"Let's go when you're done." Xie Jingyi said.
The people behind the scenes are veterans of Gong Dou for many years, and it may not be impossible for them to catch Zhao Jue, hit the grass, and startle the snake. They have been sitting in the teahouse for a long time, and if they sit down again, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Guan Huizhi hurriedly stuffed the snack into his mouth, got up quickly, and stood up with Xie Jingyi.
When the two went downstairs and walked to the mouth of the alley, Guan Huizhi was about to get on the horse, but was stopped by Xie Jingyi.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Jingyi made a shushing gesture, took Guan Huizhi's hand, found a hidden place, and picked up the flowers.
"Sister, look at this flower, it's so beautiful! I think it's perfect for you to wear. Xie Jingyi muttered, from the stall, spent a few pennies, bought a flower, and inserted it on Guan Huizhi's head.
Guan Huizhi just wanted to scold you for failing the mission, and his brain was in the water, but he found that Xie Jingyi's afterglow flashed.
She understood and immediately said, "It's really pretty." Let's buy some needlework for A-Niang, and it's time to go back. ”
Xie Jingyi nodded and walked forward with Guan Huizhi.
Not far away, there was an old scholar, on crutches, walking forward.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, the old scholar walked a few steps quickly, Xie Jingyi and Guan Huizhi tacitly sped up a little faster, stepped forward one left and one right, and caught the old scholar in a green robe.
"Abel, I see that your legs and feet are inconvenient, where are you going, why don't I give you a ride."
The old scholar shook his head tremblingly, "No need, no need, my house is nearby, and I can get there by myself." ”
Xie Jingyi chuckled, "It's nearby?" Ah, let me think about it, do you live in the third house on the right hand side of Xinghua Lane? A friend of mine said that his mentor lived there. With a goatee and crutches, I guess it's you. ”
The old scholar shook his head and struggled a few times, "No, no, I'm afraid the little lady didn't recognize the wrong person." My family doesn't live in Xinghua Lane, so I have to go further south. ”
"I advise you not to scream, otherwise Lao Tzu will break your neck." Guan Huizhi didn't bother to say hello, and put his arms around the old scholar's neck.
As soon as Guan Huizhi's words fell, she saw that Xie Jingyi didn't know where to pull a brick and slapped it on the back of the old scholar's head, she hurriedly reached out and caught the old scholar.
"What are you doing! Don't let anyone see it. Who is this girl, isn't she a grandmother? Don't hit the wrong person! ”
Xie Jingyi didn't speak, just like catching Zhao Jue that day, and dragged people to the carriage driven by Zhao's shopkeeper with Guan Huizhi.
In this carriage, there is still a sugar man burden that he has no time to take away.
Xie Jingyi didn't hesitate to pull a candy man from above and gnawed it, "This is the person we are looking for." ”
Guan Huizhi was stunned, "No, just now in the teahouse, he was sitting next to us drinking tea, and he came earlier than us......"
As she spoke, her brows furrowed, she stretched out her hand and tugged hard, and sure enough, the man's beard was ripped off.
She hurriedly lifted the man's hand, "There are no red spots on the hand!" ”
"You rub the mud for her!"
Guan Huizhi sighed, stretched out his hand, and actually picked off some white flowers, revealing a red and bright dot.
"Oh my God, it's true! Damn, I caused Lao Tzu to sit in the teahouse and drink a few pots of tea, and this stinky woman was watching from the side. I'm so! ”
"Xie San, didn't I say, how did you see that this person is the person we are looking for? How do you know we can catch her! ”
