Chapter 253 Huo Gongzi who is looking for his mother for thousands of miles
Minghui took Nanping, Wang An, and Qiao Yuanshan, and quietly left the city before the city gate closed last night, and at midnight, they arrived at the town where the Feng family had appeared.
Minghui originally thought that she would not be able to enter the city until after dawn, but when she arrived at the place, she realized that the gate of this town was a decoration, and the gate was open in the middle of the night to welcome guests from all directions.
After entering the city, it was dark everywhere, and finally saw that the red lantern in front of an inn was still on, and a few people stayed and slept beautifully until three poles in the morning.
There is only one street in the town, and this is the most lively street.
On the morning of early summer, the sun is not hot and dry, but warm and comfortable.
Two well-dressed men came to the liveliest place on the street - the bell tower.
There are stalls under the bell tower, selling vegetables, meat, buns and flatbreads, as well as needles and threads.
As soon as the two men arrived, they attracted everyone's attention, they were fresh-faced, and they looked like strangers.
Looking at their hands again, one was holding a keg, the other was holding a roll of paper.
"This is the county government to put up a notice."
"But they don't wear official clothes, they don't look like officials."
"Yes, we all know the officials who often come, but there are no two."
The town is more than 40 miles away from the county seat, and the officials in the county government often come and go, and they have long been familiar with each other.
In front of everyone's eyes, two men came to the bottom of the bell tower, found a small open space, and began to post notices.
A literate person read it out loud: "Missing person notice." ”
"Looking for someone? Could it be that whose family lost the child? I haven't heard of it. ”
"Maybe it's not in our town, but it's also possible in the nearby villages, I heard that those kidnappers run to the village, and the children in the village have never seen the world, and they are simple-minded, so they can be easily abducted."
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"What nonsense, it's not looking for children, it's looking for old mothers, mothers!" The literate man was not happy and retorted in a loud voice.
"What? Looking for a mother? Whose mother was lost? There was a great deal of talk and began to urge the literate people to continue reading.
The literate person shook his head and read out the whole paper notice, which was written simply and clearly, without chewing on the words and quoting the scriptures, and the illiterate people could understand it.
"It's pitiful, it's really pitiful, I don't know how this mother was lost, my son has been looking for more than ten years and hasn't found it."
"How else can I throw it away, I will let the flower shooter take it away."
"Nonsense, those who shoot flowers only shoot children, and I haven't heard of adults taking them away."
"But this notice said that the child was abducted first, and then the mother went to look for the child, and then did not come back, and then the child was rescued by well-wishers, but the mother was not so lucky, and never came back, maybe it was the same group of abductors who did it."
"This son is a filial son, and now he has grown up, marries a wife and starts a family, and he still wants to find his mother."
"Surname Feng? Is there a family surnamed Feng in our town? By the way, they are outsiders, how can they come to our town to find someone? Someone asked.
The two men explained loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, our brother is just running errands, the person to be found on this notice is our wife, during the Yuan Festival, someone saw our wife in our town, and after my young master heard about it, he took a leave of absence and traveled thousands of miles to find his mother."
Our wife's surname is Feng, and now she is thirty and eight, because the wife is a female scroll, this portrait can not be posted, and please forgive me, but there is a Yang mother next to our wife, Yang mother is in her early forties, her skin is slightly dark, and her wife is inseparable, our town is not big, and I am afraid that it is rare to see such a master and servant.
If you know each other, bother to bring a word, our young master is now living in the Baolai Inn, you can rest assured, but anyone who can provide clues, fifty yuan per person, can bring people over to one or two, if it is the person who brought, it is really my wife, give twenty taels! ”
Provide clues to Fifty Wen?
Bring someone over and give one or two?
If it's true, give twenty taels?
In these years, who can take out twenty taels of silver at once, and if there are ten taels or eight taels, life is already quite good, at least there is no shortage of food and clothing.
The onlookers talked a lot, and when the two men saw that the effect had been achieved, they hugged their fists and said, "That's it for now, let's go back to the inn and wait." ”
Of course, the two men are Wang An and Qiao Yuanshan, Qiao Yuanshan is a real face, and Wang An is easy to disguise, this is what he strongly requests, he now feels that when he goes out, he has no sense of security without a few fake faces to replace.
At this time, Huo Gongzi from the capital was talking to a middle-aged woman at this time, this middle-aged woman was dressed as a market woman, and she was carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.
"Most people talked about it, but there were also a few people who left quietly, and I am afraid that these people all had ideas, and they didn't want others to take the lead, so they didn't say anything and quietly went to find someone."
Huo Gongzi sighed and said in a hoarse voice: "I hope so." ”
He glanced at the hourglass in the corner, well, the time was almost up, and it was time to come.
As soon as this thought flashed, Xiao Er's voice came from outside the door: "Huo Gongzi lives in this room." ”
Huo Gongzi made a look, Nan Ping turned around and entered the inner room, and then, there was a knock on the door outside, and Xiao Er said loudly: "Huo Gongzi, someone is looking for you." ”
"Please come in." Huo Gongzi said.
It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who came in, and when he saw Huo Gongzi, the young man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect this Huo Gongzi to be so young, this is about the same age as himself.
Huo Gongzi sat precariously and asked in a deep voice: "Who is your surname, have you seen the person on the notice?" ”
The young man touched the back of his head, a little stage frightened, this Huo Gongzi looked very difficult to mess with.
"I, my name is Yang San, you, you said, the mother-in-law surnamed Yang, my mother, my mother said, said that she can, maybe, it may be the one who used to rent a house at my grandmother's house, this is, this is what my mother said."
Huo Gongzi nodded and asked, "Did your mother say that?" Why didn't your mother come herself? ”
Yang San hurriedly said: "I, me, my mother, my mother said, said that Yang, Yang Pozi, Yang Pozi didn't let her talk to people." ”
Huo Gongzi asked again: "Mrs. Yang rented a room at your grandmother's house before, is she the only one?" When did she move out? ”
"Then I, then I said I don't know, my mother, my mother didn't say." After Yang San finished speaking, he looked at Huo Gongzi and gave him money, fifty wen.
Huo Gongzi took a money bag and counted out fifty wen from it, but instead of handing it to Yang San, he asked, "What's your grandmother's surname?" ”
"The surname is Zhang, it is on the edge of the fish pond, the old Zhang family on the edge of the fish pond, and everyone in the town knows it." Yang San said.
