Chapter 402: She's More Positive Than Herself
As an official here, some people still know him. If you meet it on the street, you will inevitably startle the snake, not to mention Shen Bing next to her, her appearance will attract attention there.
"It's really time to disguise." After listening to Wei Mingjie's words, Shen Bing also realized that his clothes were inappropriate.
"But ......" As soon as he thought of his cabinet full of new clothes, Shen Bing was sick.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Wei Mingjie smiled at Shen Bing, motioned to the servant to bring up the old clothes he had prepared before, and the two of them each found a set of ordinary people's clothes to wear, and there were even some tatters.
But Shen Bing's face was there, and he still felt a little disobedient, and after thinking about it, Shen Bing actually touched his hand back and forth on the ground a few times, and after getting a hand of dust, he slapped it all on his face, completely covering up her beautiful appearance.
"It's okay now, I shouldn't recognize it." Shen Bing showed a smile to Wei Mingjie after doing all this, Wei Mingjie looked at her fixedly, if she didn't speak, she really couldn't see it from the surface.
"Yes, absolutely."
"If you can, what are you waiting for? Let's go. In this matter, Shen Bing was actually more active than Wei Mingjie.
The two walked out the back door, then found a path into the street and blended into the crowd.
They walked slowly towards the place the officials had said, stopping a few steps from the house, not too close, as it would be easy to reveal their intentions.
"We should find a place to observe this place." Wei Mingjie looked left and right and walked towards a restaurant, but was stopped by Shen Bing next to him.
"My lord, where is this going? Do you want to go to the restaurant in front of you? ”
"Naturally, I'm going there, find a window position, just enough to observe the situation here."
After listening to Wei Mingjie's words, Shen Bing smiled: "Didn't my lord forget who we are today?" ”
"Identity? What identity. ”
At the beginning, Wei Mingjie didn't understand Shen Bing's words at all, and it wasn't until he came into contact with her eyes that he understood that their outfits today didn't look like the kind of people who could go to a restaurant no matter where they were.
If you just walk in like this, you will be exposed all of a sudden.
"Shall we ...... Let's go to the open-air restaurant! ”
A little far away from this restaurant, there is a small stall, but a simple shed has been erected, in which people like them come and go from time to time, and if they go, they will not have a sense of disobedience.
The two walked towards the open-air restaurant, sat down for a long time and didn't pay attention to them, this open-air restaurant, it seems that there is only one person in the shopkeeper, who has been busy pouring wine in the crowd.
This made Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing very relieved, at least no one would come to inquire about their origins.
Although the two of them seemed to be observing their surroundings, their eyes were actually constantly scanning the nearby mansion to see if anyone suspicious appeared.
But after they had all sat for an hour, the door of the house was still closed, and there was no movement, and the people of the tavern were almost gone, except for them and the other two tables of guests.
At this time, the shopkeeper was finally busy, and hurriedly trotted to them.
"I've kept the two guest officers waiting for a long time, I don't know what the two of you want to drink?"
"Just have the cheapest pot of tea." Shen Bing lowered his voice beside him and said, it didn't sound like a young woman, but like a very old woman.
After listening to Shen Bing's words, the shopkeeper didn't have any dislike, and turned around to prepare for the two, and when he came back, he not only carried a pot of tea, but also some small refreshments.
"This is the shopkeeper's ......" Shen Bing couldn't figure out the shopkeeper's thoughts for a while.
"How can you just drink tea, of course you have to eat something." The shopkeeper really treated the two of them as poor people, and only charged them a penny for this pot of tea, and gave them a lot of refreshments.
Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing were both moved by the shopkeeper's action, but because of their current status, they couldn't tell him the truth, so they could only thank him again and again.
"It's okay, it's all about what I'm supposed to do." The shopkeeper smiled at them with a wave of his big hand, and then sat down in front of them.
"I wonder what you're doing here?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper was asking about their origins, Wei Mingjie told him the set of statements he had thought of before, and when he heard that they were here to look for relatives, the shopkeeper suddenly realized.
"I wonder if you two can find it?"
"I haven't found it yet" Wei Mingjie shook his head and looked at the house opposite again.
After seeing Wei Mingjie's eyes, the shopkeeper also looked over and found that he had a suspicious look on his face when he looked at the house opposite.
"Are the two of your relatives the people in that house?"
"Of course not." Shen Bing shook his head in a low voice, "That mansion doesn't look ordinary, how could we have such relatives." ”
When she said this, her tone was very low, and even showed a hint of envy, and the shopkeeper heard her words and really dispelled the doubt in his eyes.
"It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not." The shopkeeper muttered a few words to himself and got up to leave.
"Shopkeeper, please stay." Wei Mingjie opened his mouth to stop him, "I saw that the shopkeeper's face didn't seem to be right, why did you seem to be a different person when we mentioned that house?" ”
"You're not from here, so it's better to know less." The shopkeeper shook his head, reluctant to speak.
The conversation between several people was also heard by the people in the vicinity, and when they saw that they were discussing the house, the rest of the people actually came over.
"You just listen to the shopkeeper's advice, honestly find your relatives, and don't ask too much about things."
"But......" The more these people said this, the more curious Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing became, and they were avoided by the local people like snakes and scorpions.
"They're from outsider, so they should be fine, right?" One of them muttered quietly.
"You're crazy, we're fine locally, what if they leave here in the future and get revenge?" A person next to him spoke.
"We shouldn't be leaving for a while, we'll stay here for a long time, and if we can find our relatives, we should be able to settle here." Shen Bing's words quieted down the group.
"Forget it, since they're going to stay here, why don't you tell them......"
"But if you say it, will it ......?"
"Sooner or later, they'll know about it, and now tell them to be careful."
After discussing with each other, they made up their minds and sat down beside them, and the shopkeeper stood beside them and listened to them.
"This house was originally owned by a large family, but it was sold due to an incident a few months ago, and it was a young man who bought this house."
Young Childe, is it the person they are looking for? Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing glanced at each other, and then listened.
"This house was fine when I first bought it, but after a few days, there were often sounds of scolding coming from inside."
"Not only the sound of beating and scolding, but several times I saw the maid coming out of this house with injuries on her face." One of the civilians said in a sympathetic tone.
"Therefore, we all thought that the owner of this house should not be easy to mess with, otherwise, his subordinates would not be so seriously injured."
The people, as soon as you say a word, you will explain what happened to me.
It turned out that since this house was bought by a young man, everyone had not seen this person, but often found that his maids or servants would come to the street to buy things, and most of the time they did not talk to people, and they would return to the house after shopping, and their faces were often scarred.
All this made everyone feel both curious and frightened, so the legends about this house gradually increased.
One early in the morning, a common man found the body of a little maid in front of this house, and the clothes she was wearing were the same as those worn by the people in the house before, and after the government came at that time, it just pulled away the body of the little maid, and did not even enter this house.
Since then, when the people see this house, they will avoid it from a distance, for fear of being contaminated with some bad luck, and in their impression the people who can't even manage the government are not something that they can afford to provoke.
"I didn't expect there to be such an inside story in this."
After listening to the narration of the people, Wei Mingjie took their words to heart, thinking that it was a very simple matter to find someone, but it involved so much.
"That's why I told you, don't inquire about his house if there's nothing to do, don't even look at it, just act as if he doesn't exist."
After the people finished chatting, they left one after another, leaving only the shopkeeper, Wei Mingjie, and Shen Bing.
"Okay, we know, we're not going to get in there."
Faced with the persuasion of the shopkeeper, the two could only agree for the time being and leave here. After returning to the house, Wei Mingjie began to discuss countermeasures with Shen Bing.
Now that the house was so conspicuous, it was a little difficult for them to get close, and they wanted to pretend to pass by inadvertently during the day, but today it seemed that this method did not work at all, and only at night could they send someone to secretly inspect it.
"I'll have the guards check it out when we get tonight." Wei Mingjie said to Shen Bing while thinking.
"Tonight?" After hearing this time, Shen Bing knew that she definitely couldn't accompany her, in fact, she was also quite curious about what kind of person this son was, how could he kill others ruthlessly.
