Chapter 123: What Lu Gongzi Saw
Water bladders are a very common thing, especially now that Nanchu is in a special period, the population flow is more frequent, and this kind of object that is conducive to travel is sold more widely.
However, due to the increase in demand, the system of water bladders has become simpler.
Of course, there are still exceptions, except for those used in some armies in Beiyu and Southern Chu, which will trace some specific patterns on them, and some wealthy sons and even domestic servants will do the same in order to show their identity.
And the water bladder picked out by this account room is nothing special on its own. But when Lu Gongzi heard him ask, he was obviously a little weak-hearted, and he also went to look at the water bladder, and just said "I'll tell you anything", but now he hesitated.
The account room didn't care what he was thinking, he only made a gesture to the cabinet owner, and two strong men on the side pulled Lu Gongzi to the back of his head to loosen his bones.
Two hours later, the small half of the booklet written about what Lu Gongzi had done after entering Tongcheng was taken by the account room and went to the main house of the Sun family.
At this time, Master Sun was still in a situation where everything was not going well.
Today, Sun Fu received several letters from bandits outside the city, the wording of the letters was very simple, and there was not even a payment.
The reason why it was judged to be a mountain bandit was because the letter was written too simply and directly, and the writer regarded himself as the elder of Master Sun, and it was also because of this level of wishful thinking and intimacy, with the attitude of the family not speaking two words, directly indicating the purpose.
"People are in our hands, if you want to redeem people, fifty taels per person, and send it to your grandfather in two days."
Then there is a detailed but general address, probably, from the north of Tongcheng out of the city, take the official road to the northwest ten miles can see a broken temple, from the middle of the back wall of the broken temple to the north of the seventeenth locust tree to the west, and then count twenty-five trees to the north...... In this way, the route went round and round, and hundreds of words were written freely.
The final destination is not a stockade or anything else, but an unremarkable tree.
There are more than a dozen of the same letters, and except for the scribbled handwriting, the content of the writing is basically the same, with only some slight differences in title.
In detail, it is the difference between the eldest grandfather to the sixteenth grandfather, and then to the one thousand two hundred and thirty-five grandfathers.
It can be described as a large number of people.
All of these letters had been thrown in this morning from outside the courtyard walls, either with stones tied to them, or simply with arrows.
It stands to reason that Master Sun and these people are generally peers, and they all make money from the population.
However, most of Master Sun is providing a way out for people in desperate situations, although this desperate situation is often caused by him, but after all, good and evil are not counteracted.
But these people are openly abducted, and there is no civility at all.
Master Sun wanted to simply report to the official, but he calculated it several times, not to mention whether Aunt Taishou would make it difficult for him, but judging from her behavior after entering the city, if the matter came to her, then she might knock out less from herself than these mountain bandits.
In that case, it is better for him to redeem it with the silver.
Anyway, the silver was spent on the servants, and it came out of the moonsilver that came after them.
As soon as this matter was decided, the account office in the gambling house came to the door, saying only that there was an important matter to return to the master's family.
This person came over in person, that was the problem on the news channel, of course Master Sun was concerned, and immediately retreated and asked him to report in detail.
It turned out that Na Lu Gongzi was not a big family son at all, just a thief who wandered around in Anping County, stealing chickens and dogs.
When Beiyu first invaded Anping, this kind of person should be the most happy, and he only needed to avoid the rebels, and he didn't break into the mansion of the big clan who didn't plan to move south or west for the time being. Just by relying on some wealthy portals or empty mansions, you can also make a lot of money.
But later, Anping was really in chaos, there was nothing to steal, there was nothing to steal, not only to avoid the war, but also to beware of the bitter masters looking for him day and night.
Therefore, it is not advisable to stay in this place for a long time, so simply change places. And if you want to go south, whether it is a state or a county, or a house, the precautions are strict, which is not suitable for people like him to make a living, in contrast, it is very suitable to follow the displaced people to the west.
The displaced people along the way are not all acting alone, but dozens or hundreds, gathering together, not daring to say that they take care of each other, at least they let themselves be in the crowd, so that they are not so helpless in this troubled world.
This is convenient for Lu Gongzi, normally speaking, the team of displaced people is less than ten days, and at most twenty days, no matter how they all come to Tongcheng, but Lu Gongzi was delayed on this road for more than a month, and stole all the people who could steal during it.
Then he used an identity to enter the city.
The miscellaneous items and even the clothes and boots that were collected from the account were stolen from it.
At the same time, this Lu Gongzi is also a thief with a brain and a plan, and his clothes and other clothes are not in a hurry to change money, but are carefully retracted by category, so that he can change his identity and enter and exit various places.
It's a pity that the current situation in Tongcheng is completely different from what he expected, although this place has accepted many displaced people, but because of Liu Zhu's strict arrangement and the ability to inspect Jin Xuan's too strong ability, it is even better than the situation before the Anping War.
Lu Gongzi searched for several days, but he didn't make any good deals. Then he caught up with the incident of "raspberry is difficult to shine" at the intersection of Nanshi, and then he followed to not lose his home.
However, his real skills were to be hidden, and he didn't dare to reveal his relevant abilities, so naturally he was not taken by the examiners in the palace.
However, he has a unique ability to remember people, and he has an impression of some of the servants in the house of his aunt.
When Master Sun heard this, he only felt that this was a good material that could be included in the Sun Mansion, and thought that the account office had discovered a talent at this moment when there was a shortage of manpower, and he had come to invite him for credit. But I don't want the most critical thing to come.
One day after that day, when this Lu Gongzi went out in the morning to explore the way to Beicheng and set foot in early green, he happened to bump into a murder case.
Three very neat men led two young men, who were obviously new to the city, into a remote dark alley in the northern city and killed them on the spot.
And these three people except for a pre-ambush and a mask. The other two did not hide their faces, and one of them, Lu Gongzi, happened to have seen Aunt Taishou's house.
To say that this Lu Gongzi is also bold, or because he has not opened for a long time, he was forced to be bold, so he waited until the three murderers left the scene, and then he ran out and rummaged through the two people who had just died.
And the water bladder was carried by one of them.
