Chapter 254: Three Warm-Hearts
sent Yang San away, and with only half a burnt of incense, Huo Gongzi ushered in the second enthusiastic person who provided clues.
This is the old grandson who often fishes in the fish pond, he said that there is a pair of master and servant living next to the fish pond, he is a serious person, will not peek at the woman, but the pair of master and servant mother-in-law has nothing to do, said that he stared at himself, and said that he stinks and shameless, for this reason, he quarreled with the mother-in-law once, the mother-in-law has a yellow and black skin, and the deep folds can trap mosquitoes.
Huo Gongzi thanked him and gave the old grandson fifty wen.
As soon as the old grandson left, another fat aunt came.
The fat aunt said that her family opened a grocery store, and there was a Yang mother-in-law who often came to buy things, and the old Zhang family's house rented by the Yang mother-in-law, came and went, and became familiar, and occasionally on credit, but a month ago, the Yang mother-in-law suddenly did not come, and it happened that the old Mrs. Zhang came over, and the fat aunt only then knew that the original Yang mother-in-law and servant moved away.
For this reason, the fat aunt was so angry that Mrs. Yang still owed more than 30 yuan and did not pay it.
Fortunately, a few days later, Mrs. Yang came again, this time to send her money.
Seeing Mrs. Yang's creditworthiness, the fat aunt's previous anger disappeared, and she started a family routine with Mrs. Yang, and when she asked, she found out that Mrs. Yang's master and servant moved to the Liu family's compound outside the city.
Huo Gongzi thanked him again and again and gave the fat aunt fifty wen.
After the fat aunt left, Huo Gongzi waited for half an hour, but he didn't see a fourth person come to the door.
At this time, Wang An and Qiao Yuanshan also came back from outside, and Huo Gongzi asked them to inquire about this Liu family compound.
The two went out, and they came back in only one cup of tea, and they didn't even come out of the inn, so they inquired about it from Xiao Er's mouth.
Liu's compound is the old house of Liu Yuanwai's family, Liu Yuanwai died more than ten years ago, his son was only five years old when he died, there was no one at home who could support the door, less than two years, the family wealth was taken up by relatives, his widow simply sold the rest of the property, and moved to the old house outside the city with a pair of children, perhaps Mrs. Liu was strapped for money, it is said that most of the house was rented out, and now the Liu family compound is like a miscellaneous courtyard, doing business, running rivers and lakes, everyone has, Recently, there is also a Luo opera troupe from Guangping Mansion, which is also rented in the Liu family compound.
Huo Gongzi stood up, Nan Ping couldn't bear to look directly, you still sit, you can't see the height when you sit.
Huo Gongzi snorted coldly, she was self-aware, so she kept sitting.
She said to Nan Ping: "You want to find a way to sneak into the Liu family's compound to recognize people, especially remember the appearance of the mother-in-law, don't alarm them, go back quickly." ”
Nanping looked at the clothes on her body and felt that this body was good, so she turned around and walked out of the inn.
About an hour later, Nan Ping came in like a gust of wind and said: "I saw the person, it was on the portrait, and I remembered the appearance of the mother-in-law, and I couldn't forget it for a while." ”
Nanping had heard that there was a Luo opera troupe living in the courtyard of the Liu family from Guangping Mansion, this Luo opera has a characteristic, that is, to wear masks, Luo opera is popular in Guangping Mansion, affected by this, the people in the Weihui area are also very keen on Luo opera, and there are Luo opera masks sold in the small stalls under the bell tower.
Nanping bought one before she went out of the city, she found the Liu family compound, and the Liu family compound was really as she heard, noisy, messy, and the gate was open to enter and exit casually.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Nan Ping put on a Luo opera mask and walked around the courtyard, seeing that no one cared about her, it seems that the people in the troupe usually walk around the courtyard wearing masks when they practice.
The master and servant lived in a separate courtyard, saying that it was a courtyard, but there was no courtyard gate, and the scene in the courtyard could be seen from the outside.
The weather was hot, the house couldn't sit still, the pair of master and servant sat in the shade of the yard to do needlework, Nan Ping looked into the yard, was seen by the mother-in-law, and stood up and scolded a few words, was persuaded by the wife beside her, the wife looked at Nan Ping standing outside the door, and then took the sewing basket into the house, the mother-in-law glared at Nan Ping hatefully, and followed in.
Although Minghui is not as good as Wenchang, she can also draw a few strokes, which is the basic skill of finding customers, and when there is no painter, you have to do it yourself.
She took a pen and paper, and according to Nanping's description, until it was dark, she finally drew the woman.
People can't be compared, painting and painting can't be compared, the portrait she painted, compared with Wenchang's, has less charm, more than dull, and lack of agility, but when there is no Wenchang, it can also come in handy.
Minghui looked at the person on the portrait, trying to remember the mother-in-law she met in Feng'er Lane.
To be honest, although she and the woman have crossed paths face to face, her impression of the woman is not as deep as that woman, one is the hairpin on the woman's head, and the other is the graceful temperament of the woman in Jiangnan.
She thought all the way, but she only remembered that the woman's skin was dark and yellow, but she didn't remember her appearance.
Although this portrait is not very well painted now, Minghui looked at the portrait, and the appearance of the woman gradually appeared in her mind.
"Let's go, let's go back to the city." Minghui said.
The three of them were stunned, since it had been determined that Mrs. Feng was in the Liu family's compound, why didn't they pick them up?
Minghui smiled: "Don't ask, there's no comment." ”
Three-person ......
Huo Gongzi searched for his relatives vigorously, but when he left, he was silent.
The next day, Yang San stretched out his hand to probe his brain in front of the Baolai Inn, and was seen by Xiao Er, pulled it over, and asked: "Yang San, what's the matter, all the fifty dollars were spent, and you came here to make quick money?" ”
They are all natives, and most of them can be called names, not to mention that Yang San is also a well-known lazy man in the town.
Yang San sniffed, looked inside the inn, and asked, "Huo, Huo, Huo......"
Xiao Er scolded: "Huo Hehuo, people left last night, I'm afraid they are already on their way back to the capital at this time." ”
"Gone?" Yang Sanyi was in a hurry, and he didn't stutter anymore.
Xiao Er snorted coldly: "Yes, I've left a long time ago, anyway, the clues you sold to others are not fake, or they will leave." ”
"Fake? How how how will it be, how will it be, will it be fake? Really, just go and go. ”
Yang San shook off Xiao Er, and wanted to go to the inn to take a look, but was dragged by Xiao Er, and dragged to the door: "Okay, okay, everyone is gone, you stay where you are cool, don't affect our business." ”
Yang San left stupidly, grunting as he walked, so why did Huo Gongzi from the capital leave? He also wants to lead people over and earn another twenty taels.
When Yang San returned home, he was still distressed about the twenty taels that flew away.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and Yang San was too lazy to open the door, until he heard that it was Lao Sun Tou, so he opened the door.
