It has been more than three days since they returned to Wuding. Yang and Ma are still wandering around the streets openly, and they are not afraid of being reported and taken away to receive their rewards. After all, the only one who really knows their faces is Miss Song.
Although there were official documents posted on the streets offering huge rewards for the capture of the two men throughout the city, no one could have imagined that instead of escaping, the thief would camp out in front of other people's homes every day.
The two of them wandered around this area all day long, inevitably attracting attention. So they looked for an opportunity and found a job on the street here, preparing to stay there for a long time.
Yang Hao had a good reputation, but he was framed for murder and arson because he provoked a rich man. The county magistrate who tried the case at the county government was bribed with fifty silver coins. His fame was taken away from him in court and he was convicted. Let him
He truly saw clearly what it meant: the world was turbid and there was no distinction between black and white. Facing the wall in prison, he realized that things were not what he read in the book, and he gave up the idea of an official career.
It's just that what he provoked was that the rich families in the county were unwilling to let him go. Those petty officials in the county government were kept fat and white, and they took a lot of money. They said you committed arson and committed murder.
That's arson. Even if you have good evidence, what can you do? In a remote place, an insignificant person will die if he dies.
That day on the execution ground, the sun was scorching, and he was despairing. His heart was full of regret and guilt, but he was unable to stop the butcher knife from falling. What he didn't expect was that his black-faced brother, a machete, a man, a mule, and a
With a piece of rope, he single-handedly robbed the execution ground and fished out the evil official Ku Li who killed him. He cried for his father and mother and fished him out. Since then, the two of them left home and lived incognito in the world.
Yang Hao's meritorious service was obtained through actual examination, and he had a lot of ink in his belly. With his literacy, he ran to the inn next to the pier and worked as a boy to help with accounting. The newcomer who had only been here for two days was naturally
He didn't get much trust, so his boss also asked him to do some miscellaneous tasks to temper his temper. Yang Hao didn't care about this. Applying for the job was just a temporary measure. More importantly, the dock opposite the accounting room
There is a cargo ship of the Song family on board. Song Qingfeng, the head of the Song family, often visits this place. Knowing the whereabouts of Song Qingfeng is his real purpose.
The Song family's mansion is also a prosperous place in Wuding. It is surrounded by the courtyards of many large businessmen in Wuding City, forming a special mansion area. The house is large and the family has a strong family background. Various errands are indispensable at the door.
Ma Lai himself has a dark face and a long and stout body. At first glance, he is the same as many porters. He asked someone to write a sign, specifically to pick up the work carried by various compounds in this area at the street intersection.
There were countless people coming to Wuding to make a living, so no one would suspect it. So with his foot strength far beyond ordinary people, he only worked for a few days, and he got the favor of the picky and stingy housekeepers in various courtyards.
Recognize.
In addition, since what happened half a month ago, Miss Song's family has been staying at home. With such frequent activities, he is not afraid of bumping into Miss Song's family.
The two of them were confident, one squatted at the door and the other guarded an important dock. The purpose was to grasp Song Qingfeng's whereabouts, understand the surrounding situation, and wait for the opportunity to strike.
He has only been here for three days, and his taciturn and hardworking Ma Lai has won the favor of many housekeepers in this luxury area. In one day, he can carry out many transportation tasks. In addition to the money for food, he can also earn a lot of copper coins.
It’s quite a success!
I just finished my run and didn't rest for a while. As soon as the door of Hu's house opened, the housekeeper with a black mole on his face hurriedly ran towards Ma Lai who was hiding in the shade and drinking tea.
"You can take this fan to Guanfeng Tower and give it to my second son. This is fifty copper coins. If you run fast, I will reward you with a dozen more copper coins when you come back."
………………
July 24th was the second day after Shen Qiye and his sister came to Wuding to join Shen Ye.
Shen Ye accepted Miao Mu's invitation to go to Guanfeng Tower for a drink, and led the young girl dressed up out of the house early in the morning.
Along the way, Xiao Yu'er was very nervous walking beside her elder brother. After a few steps, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do I know what to wear? What I wear is too casual? And they, they should You won’t make fun of me, will you?”
It is natural for women to love beauty, and having a good-looking woman by your side can also help a man gain face.
Shen Ye didn't care about this, but even a famous beauty in Jinlin was a woman, so Xiaoyuer couldn't care less.
Shen Ye comforted him and said, "It's okay. Brother Naegi and the others are all easy to get along with. This is just a simple chat, a meal and a drink, and it's not a formal occasion. Don't be so panicked. Besides, it's already happened before." I’ve heard of your name.”
But after hearing the elder brother's words, Xiao Yu'er still didn't feel at ease. He still held up his sleeves from time to time, turned around, and kept looking at her.
Shen Qiye and his younger sister came over in a hurry to help their elder brother, and they brought only a few sets of clothes. They only had two sets of clothes, so they never imagined that they would encounter a banquet.
As soon as Shen Ye opened his mouth last night, she was so anxious that she went to the cloth store to buy clothes before dawn.
Fortunately, Wuding is also a big city, and there are shops where you can buy clothes on sale. But early in the morning, I knocked on the door of a shop that did not have cloth clothes, but the shop owner was very angry.
They are always the only ones who open their doors early to do business, so how can any customers come to buy goods in a hurry?
But as soon as his badge was revealed, the shop owner took back the curse words he was about to say, changed his ferocious eyes, and quickly welcomed him in with a smile, and at the same time asked his wife to come out to greet the female customers.
After picking around for a long time, almost taking out all the inventory in the store and looking through it, Xiao Yu'er finally fell in love with a set of skirts that she liked. But it wasn't over yet. After haggling for a long time, Xiao Yu'er Then he took out the money and went out happily.
After buying clothes, I returned to my residence and tidied up again. It was already time, and Xiao Yu'er followed her brother out of the house in a hurry.
In this era, it was inconvenient for women to show up in public. They either did not go out or went out dressed up.
Although it was known early on that the people attending the banquet were all Jin Yiwei colleagues, after all, women were inferior to men. Xiao Yuer dressed up in a hurry to go to the banquet because she was afraid of losing face to her elder brother.
The eldest brother Shen Ye is about to be promoted to the Hundred Households, and the Wudingwei Command Post has always been on good terms with the Jinlin Town Office. People from both sides often move around. The eldest brother came here to investigate the case, and the Jin Yiwei colleagues from the Wudingwei Command Post hosted a banquet for these prospective 100 households. He just wants to make good friends. Xiao Yuer also knows the reason and will never dare to make a fool of himself when attending a banquet.
At this moment, she regretted so much that she should have let the annoying second brother come. If the second brother had come, he would have just had a big bowl of dry wine. If he could drink at the wine table, he would be a hero. There were so many things to consider.
Now that we have decided to get to the bottom of it, we can't take it lightly. The secret investigation should naturally be done by Shen Qiye, who has better legs and feet.
Although he had more urgent matters at hand and did not go to the banquet, Shen Qiye, who changed into casual clothes and went out together, still followed his elder brother and the others for a long distance. Only when they were close to Guanfeng Tower did Shen Qiye turn back.
On Zhaohe Street, Shen Qiye casually ordered a large bowl of tofu curd for breakfast.
His tasks are not light, one of which is to investigate the Song Qingfeng family in secret.
There is no hatred without reason in this world. But even if Shen Ye came to visit, Song Qingfeng did not disclose any useful information to him except King Cheng. To say the least, ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of having a jade! Being able to be specially punished If the thief is thinking about it, there must be a special reason.
The current investigation into the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty has no clue. Shen Ye and the others need an entry point. It might not be a good choice to approach it from the perspective of the victim. What's more, the kidnapping case of the Miss Song family is also a "strange" incident in itself. If the case can be solved, even if it is found that it has nothing to do with King Cheng in the end, then Shen Ye's trip to Wuding can be regarded as fulfilling his original purpose.
The second is to sneak into the Wuding magistrate's home secretly.
Shen Qiye ate a bowl of tofu nao, but just as he walked onto the street, someone hit him on the back.
The man who bumped into someone was a black-faced man. He was holding a folding fan in his hand. He realized that he had just walked too fast and bumped into someone. He quickly turned around and apologized, "Brother, I'm really sorry. I was rushing on my way and bumped into you." Yes, I will apologize to you!"
The black-faced man was in a hurry. When he saw Shen Qiye waving his hands to indicate that nothing was wrong, he cupped his fists and rushed to the other end of Zhaohe Street.
His pace was tight, and in just a blink of an eye, he had already run a long way.
Naturally, Shen Qiye wouldn't take these trivial matters to heart.
He still has his own things to do.
But after walking a few steps, Shen Qiye suddenly stopped.
"That person just now looks so familiar. Have you seen him somewhere?" This chapter has been completed!
