A thief with a sly eyebrow was huddled in the corner, shaking like chaff.
Because opposite him, three people were staring at him as if they wanted to eat him...
"Where did this thing come from?" He Guangyi asked, biting his lip.
This thief is a habitual criminal on the street. Just because he is a thief does not mean he is ignorant.
The two men opposite were both wearing Jin Yiwei's flying fish uniforms. The beardless man, who was neither male nor female, was wearing a bright red robe... I heard that all the great eunuchs wore bright red robes.
"Say!" the bastard shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Where are the people?"
"The villain...the villain was plundering sheep at the gate of the city..." the thief said incoherently, "I randomly picked up the hands of two country bumpkins...they touched more than a dozen copper coins.
I didn’t touch anything else! I just threw this bag of luggage under the bed!”
"The Zajia asked you, where is the person who asked you to steal..."
The bastard was furious and glanced around.
"Father-in-law..."
Guo Guanseng exclaimed, it turned out that the bastard had directly pulled out his sword and walked in front of the thief with a ferocious look on his face.
"Where is the person? Where is the person?"
The bastard's eyes were about to burst. He swiped the embroidered spring knife in his hand and plunged it into the thief's thigh.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Blood spurted out, and the thief immediately screamed heartbreakingly.
"Where is the person? Where is the person?"
The bastard's screams were louder than his screams.
"Where's the man?" He shouted, and the bastard suddenly cursed, "Come here, hold this guy down, Zajia cut his bird..."
"I said I said I said I said I said..."
The thief shouted in horror, "I really don't know, I stole their things and ran away! Ah... I'll tell you, the day before yesterday when I was looking for candidates at the front door, I watched them squatting
Under the city gate building, they seem to be begging for food..."
"Begging for food?" The bastard was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ferocious, like a ghost, "You want the relatives of the Za family to beg for food? Hey hey hey... The relatives of the Za family are begging for food... Someone...
..."
"Eunuch..." He Guangyi quickly stepped forward to stop him.
He knew that these eunuchs in the palace were somewhat twisted people, and their actions were more vicious than those of the imperial guards.
"It's important to ask business, what if I get killed?" He Guangyi advised.
"How many people are there?" Bastard asked, suppressing the murderous intention in his heart.
"Two, one old and one young. The old one is over fifty, with a skinny goatee. The other child, eight or nine years old at most, a boy..." the thief said hurriedly.
"That's not right!" The bastard suddenly became confused, "My sister is a daughter in the family, and I have a niece..."
He Guangyi whispered, "Is your belief correct?"
"You can't be wrong!" The bastard looked confused, but nodded solemnly.
"What are the accents of the old man and the young man?" Guo Guanseng asked.
"The younger one talks like someone from Huaibei, and the older one talks like someone from Hebei..."
"Is there a possibility! Maybe your sister didn't reply because she moved!" He Guangyi pulled the bastard and whispered in a low voice, "You have to know that 23 years after Hongwu, Shanxi immigrated to the north, and the original people in the north moved to the north.
Come from Zhili..."
"The boy is eight or nine years old. Could it be that he was born after my sister?" The bastard's eyes lit up, "Good boy! Good boy! The Za family has a heir, the Za family has a heir!"
As he spoke, he held He Guangyi's hand tightly and said solemnly, "He Dutang, help the Za family find them. The Za family will never forget this great kindness!"
"You are serious!"
At this time, the shameless bastard turned around and muttered, "It's still wrong. Even if a son is born later, where is the niece?"
He Guangyi and Guo Guangseng looked at each other and thought that Manager Wang must be crazy!
But for Jin Yiwei, it is not difficult to find someone as long as there are clues!
~
The Jin Yiwei were dispatched in full force to control the situation in both the north and the south.
He Ping'an, Jin Wanwan, Han Wu and others personally led the team to conduct a blanket search.
Since an old man and a young man had their luggage stolen and their money taken away from them, and were forced to beg for a living on the streets, the target has been reduced a lot.
There were not many beggars in the capital, especially before the Chinese New Year. Because beggars were not allowed in the peaceful and prosperous times, Yingtian Mansion cleaned up many of them, so the old and the young were particularly conspicuous.
Furthermore, they had to live in addition to food, so the remaining ghosts and monsters in the capital were once again ordered to die by the Jin Yiwei, and they had to dig deep to find this old man and the young man.
They also held in their hands the portrait drawn by the Jinyiwei painter based on the Thief's description for comparison.
Han Wu, on the other hand, was more thoughtful than the others. While searching and asking questions along the street, he also notified the Military and Horse Division.
Those people are local snakes, they might be of great use!
~~
Not to mention that the bastard lived like a year in Jinyiwei Town Fusi, nor how the Jinyiwei people searched along the street.
The scene turned to a large and noisy courtyard.
The second waiter in the teahouse looked at the old man and the young man holding big bowls of food in front of them with a sad expression.
In a moment of kindness, he picked up two rice buckets... Now they are eating his dinner.
He felt soft for a moment and took the two people back to where he lived.
What made him even more worried was that the place he lived in was already small, and with the addition of two big living people, there was no room for it at all.
"Brother, thank you very much!" The old man said with a flattering smile after eating, "You are such a good person! We are dirty, and we will be laying on the floor soon..."
"I'm a good person and will do my best!" Erzi said, "It's getting dark today. Tomorrow is the sixth day of the first lunar month. The government office is open as usual. I will take you there in the morning..."
"Yamen..." The old man paused and said awkwardly, "Can the Yamen take care of it?"
"They won't take care of other things!" Erzi smiled, "But since your relatives are actually working as eunuchs in the palace, you will take care of it, right?" After thinking about it, "Besides, there is no other way!"
"What if the government doesn't care?" the child suddenly said.
Erzi gritted his teeth and muttered, "Then you have to find a way on your own!" He said, sighing, "Don't think about it now, there will be a road to the mountain! I will get you some hot water later, you can wash up...tomorrow morning
I still have to go to the Yamen!"
"Brother!" The child stood up and said solemnly, "When my mother was alive, she said that no thanks can be expressed for any kindness, and I will remember it!"
Erzi smiled slightly and said, "We are all poor. My mother also said when she was alive that the poor should not make things difficult for the poor. If you need to help, just help!"
~~
Woof woof woof!
Suddenly, a dog barked outside.
The second son poked his head out in surprise and saw the cooks in the teahouse's kitchen asking several burly men to come over here like they were carrying little chickens.
"Second son!" the cook screamed outside, "you are in trouble..."
boom!
While the cook was shouting, he was punched on the back of the head, and he screamed again and again.
~
"Where are people, where are people, where are people..."
The bastard shivered like a dog that had lost a bone, and moved forward with his eyes darting around.
"Father-in-law, here it is!"
He Guangyi quickly led the bastard to walk inward, one foot deep and the other shallow.
The mean streets have long been under martial law.
Not even a dog barking! Let alone a human voice!
"Where are people, where are people, where are people..."
The bastard staggered shamefully to the door of the house guarded by Jin Yiwei.
With a creak, Han Wu opened the door himself.
The next second, the bastard who had already bought one foot was frozen in place.
In the yard, the old man guarded the child nervously, his eyes full of fear... He held the child's arm with one hand and held a piece of earth in his other hand.
Boom....
The moment he saw the bastard, the rubbish suddenly fell to the ground.
"Are you... Shun Bao?" the old man asked.
"You are...my eldest sister's father-in-law..."
People have memories, and unfamiliar faces overlap with the distant past after a short period of recall.
At this moment, both sides confirmed that they had not found the wrong person.
"I've found you..." Suddenly, the old man grinned and cried loudly, "The last time I saw you, it was when your sister got married, and you were just as tall as a carrot..."
The bastard's shameful eyes were focused on that boy.
I don't know whether it was due to nature or a clever temperament, but the child refused to accept his birth and smiled shamefully at the bastard, "Are you my uncle?"
"I am I am I am..."
The bastard shivered and stepped forward to touch the child's hand, then the child's head, and the child's butt...
He moved so slowly that others could clearly see his trembling.
"Like...my sister..." As he said this, the bastard turned his head and looked at the old man in shame, "Where is my sister? Why haven't you replied to me for so many years? No news at all!"
"Your brother-in-law is a stonemason! At the end of the 23rd year of Hongwu, he was transferred to Huaibei to build the imperial mausoleum. Our family left our hometown and took root in Huaibei!"
The old man cried, "There was a flood last year and my whole family was gone... I am too old to do anything, so I can only wait for death. I am not afraid of death, but with just such a seedling, I can only
I will bravely come to the capital to look for you!"
"Your sister used to say that her brother is not easy. Just because he has become successful, he cannot let his poor relatives go to the capital to curry favor..."
"Where's my sister!" Suddenly, the bastard realized something and shouted crazily.
The old man lowered his head in fear.
Just when the bastard was about to run away, a warm little hand held his big hand and said, "Uncle! Mom died, and dad died too! There was a flood, the house collapsed, dad went to grab things and was buried, and mom went to grab dad.
Also buried..."
The bastard's body was limp, and he supported the person next to him to keep him from falling, and then leaned down to look at his nephew.
Seeing my uncle is like seeing my mother, meeting my nephew reminds me of my sister...
With tears covering his eyes, the bastard continued to ask, "You have a sister, right? Where is she? She's also dead?"
"No..." the child shook his head and cried, "Grandpa said he didn't have travel expenses to come to Beijing to find you, so he sold his sister!"
Buzz!
The bastard's head buzzed, his vision went dark, his body suddenly leaned back, and he fell to the ground with a thud, not knowing what was going on.
