Guard Tian followed closely behind Bai Haohong and said, "Is Lord Bai going to Nanjiang Village?" I've already asked, and no one in the village knows about Zhang Yuanwai's death, let alone an eyewitness. ”

Bai Haohong didn't say a word, and continued to walk forward, while thinking about how to hide from Tian's guards and pick up the red cloth head.

After a while, Tian Guard saw that Bai Haohong was indeed walking in the direction of Nanjiang Village, so he said again: "There are many people in the village, I may have missed the question last time." However, it is not early now, and this time, the two of us will not be able to ask enough. ”

At this time, Bai Haohong had already seen the red cloth head, he took two more steps, stepped on the cloth head, and then turned sideways to face the Tian guard. Seeing Bai Haohong stop, Guard Tian asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" White-sama. ”

Bai Haohong took out the consistent money from his arms and asked, "Last time, when you went to ask about the situation, did you give this to the villagers?" ”

While speaking, Bai Haohong secretly used internal force in his hand to break the rope that stringed the money, and the copper coin rolled to the ground, and Tian Guard and Bai Haohong bent down to pick up the copper plate together. While Bai Haohong was picking up the money, he quietly put the red cloth head under his feet into his sleeve, he raised his eyes to look at the Tian guard, and saw that he was still picking up the copper coins on the ground, and he didn't notice this.

After the two of them finished picking up the money, Tian Guard said: "Last time, I also gave a lot of money to the villagers, and I believe they didn't lie to me." ”

"In that case, let's go back."

Bai Haohong returned to the inn, took out the red cloth head, and found that it was a pink handkerchief with flowers embroidered on it, and thought to himself: "This is a handkerchief used by rich women, and in such a remote place, the villagers should not use this kind of handkerchief." And, judging by the state of the handkerchief, it should have been left near the site recently. Could it be that there are still survivors of Zhang Yuanwai's murder? If so, who? Zhang Yuanwai's wife, concubine and the corpses of the nursing home are all there, who else will he take with him to escape? Where are the survivors now? Will it be in Nam Gang Village? In any case, you must first understand the situation of Zhang Yuanwai's family. ”

Bai Haohong got up and prepared to go to the yamen, and thought about it: "No, go to the county government to inquire, the news leaked too quickly." Bai Haohong sat down again and pondered: "Last time I followed Wang Bao, although I have found his den, it is not appropriate to arrest him now." What's next? ”

While thinking, Bai Haohong couldn't help but recall the situation of tracking Wang Bao ten days ago:

That day, Bai Haohong and Lizi dressed up as vegetable sellers, jumped from the back window of the inn, and pushed the car to the opposite side of the inn gate. Bai Haohong took down two small benches from the car, and the two sat down and pretended to sell vegetables, waiting for Wang Bao to come out. However, after waiting for a long time, and not seeing Wang Leopard, Lizi got up and twisted her waist and said, "If we sell peanuts, we can eat while waiting." ”

Bai Haohong said: "Have you ever seen peanuts sold and eaten by themselves? Fortunately, I didn't choose to sell peanuts, otherwise you would have eaten peanut shells all over the floor, which is too eye-catching. ”

"Brother Bai, if we sit and wait like this, it will arouse the suspicion of others. The vegetable sellers are waiting for the guests while choosing the dishes, and the selected dishes can also be sold at a high price. ”

"You have a choice, I'm staring at the door."

"Big Brother Bai, will Wang Bao have jumped out of the back window and left?"

"No, there are two people staring at the back window, if Wang Leopard walks through the back window, someone will come to inform me."

As he was talking, seeing Wang Bao walking out of the door of the inn, Bai Haohong hurriedly let Lizi get into the car, and he pushed the car, keeping a distance from Wang Bao and following him.

Soon after getting in the car, Liz said, "Big Brother Bai, I'm hungry." ”

Bai Haohong frowned and said, "You have a lot of business! Bear with it! Don't call 'Big Brother Bai', what should I do if I am heard? ”

"If I call you grandpa, I'll definitely laugh out loud."

"Then you don't need to call anything, I'll call you 'Ergou' during this time."

"It's so ugly."

While talking, Wang Bao stopped at the door of a small restaurant, looked around, and walked in, while Bai Haohong found an inconspicuous place opposite the restaurant and parked the car.

Liz said, "Let's follow it closely, there is still an empty spot next to Wang Leopard." I'm starving! After that, I was going to the restaurant.

Bai Haohong grabbed Lizi and said, "You are so dirty and smelly, how can you get in?" Even if you go in, it's too eye-catching, how can you follow Wang Leopard again? ”

"Then let's stay away from this restaurant, smell the fragrance, and be hungrier."

"Talking is also physically demanding, so you should say a few words."

After a while, Liz said, "I was so hungry that my legs started to tremble, and I couldn't help it. There's a steamed bun seller over there, I'll buy two, do you have any money? ”

Bai Haohong took out a silver ticket from his arms, and as soon as Liz wanted to come over and get it, Bai Haohong put it in his arms again and said, "If you dress like this and take the silver ticket to buy something, others will arrest you as a thief." ”

"Look for it again, don't you have any copper coins on you?"

"Nope."

Liz had no choice, she was starving to death, and she couldn't take care of it so much, she decided to sell vegetables to earn money to buy steamed buns, so she began to shout loudly: "Sell cheaply, sell cheaply, what fresh vegetables, green." Sell cheaply, sell cheaply. ”

Finally, an old lady came up to me and asked, "How much is a handful?" ”

Lizi was stunned for a moment, she really hadn't thought about this problem, and looked back at Bai Haohong. Bai Haohong didn't know how much to sell, so he replied, "You can watch and give it." ”

The old lady gave Liz a copper plate and walked away with the food. Liz immediately ran to the steamed bun stall, handed the copper coin to the vendor, and said, "Buy two steamed buns." ”

The stall owner said, "You only have enough money to buy one." ”

Liz begged: "Big brother, you can do it, give me two, my grandfather is still hungry." ”

"I'm also a small business, and I hope to sell steamed buns to feed my family."

As he was talking, a scholar-like man came up and said, "I'll buy a steamed bun and give it to him." ”

Liz looked at this scholar and saw that he was delicate and polite, and he looked like a typical humble gentleman. (Afterwards, I learned that this person was Tang Gongzi.) ）

Lizi thanked the scholar, took two steamed buns, and ran back quickly, she handed one of the steamed buns to Bai Haohong, and said, "You can eat one too." ”

Bai Haohong looked at it and said, "You are pinching the steamed bun with your whole palm, isn't it dirty?" I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself. ”

Only then did Lizi notice that the dirty hands she had chosen vegetables were grabbing two big steamed buns, and she heard that Bai Haohong was dirty and refused to eat them, so she said dissatisfiedly: "Stinky and exquisite!" It's the same as the book says! You will starve to death during the war! You won't eat the steamed buns that have been pinched by my dirty hands, and during the war, when there is no water to drink, you even have to drink urine! ”

"When you eat, you say pee and, can you eat it?"

"I didn't say." Liz also felt a little disgusted at this time, and hurriedly said, "Let's not mention those things again." ”
