Chapter 896: Shut Out
The other person was more wooden, only hanging his head and bending over, looking overwhelmed.
The man who spoke turned his gaze slightly, and when he saw Gu Chengyu, his pupils shrank, and there was a hint of strangeness on his face.
But in an instant, he returned to his previous honest and honest appearance.
The surrounding people smelled this stench, and they dared not speak out.
What does a night incense collector do so carefully? Could anyone still be hiding in the barrel of night incense? Then you have to smoke to death?
These officials are really full and have nothing to do, so it is better to search early and enter the city.
Those who enter the city early in the morning are mostly small traders. Some people pick up home-grown vegetables, as well as chickens, ducks, fish, etc.
There are also carrying baskets, dustpans and other daily necessities woven by themselves, and everyone is in a hurry to enter the city and occupy a good seat!
The servant took out two pieces of paper from his bosom, compared them carefully, and then looked at the dirty, foul-smelling wooden barrel outside.
I wanted to open it to take a look, but I really couldn't do it, so I finally waved my hand and planned to let it go.
When Gu Chengyu took out two portraits just now, he stepped forward slightly to take a look.
I found that the two people in this painting were very abstract, both with beards and wide eyes, and only some differences in hairstyles and general face shapes.
He couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, it was really strange that he could catch these two wanted criminals with such a painting.
As for why they were arrested, there are no on these two pictures, and it seems that it depends on the notice at the city gate.
Gu Chengyu glanced at the faces of the two people behind him, and saw that the two of them had dark skin, both with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Then he turned his gaze to the necks of the two of them, and he noticed that the skin leaking from the inside of the placket of the other was much lighter than the skin on the face.
Gu Chengyu didn't care, the ancients wore layers of clothes, and they couldn't be shirtless like in their previous lives, and it was normal for the skin on their bodies to be fairer.
With an inadvertent turn of his gaze, he suddenly noticed that when the two of them raised their hands, the skin exposed on their wrists was much whiter than on their hands.
This is a bit strange, it stands to reason that farming must be indispensable for farmers to do farm work.
It is normal for farmers to go down to the ground with their sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, how can there be two different skin conditions on the wrists and hands?
With doubts in his heart, Gu Chengyu paid a little more attention to these two people.
The crowd slowly moved forward, Gu Chengyu followed the long dragon forward, and when he approached the city gate, he finally saw the content of the notice.
A heinous murderer? Absconded after murder? The notice stated that the two men had not only robbed a farmer's family of money, but also killed all five members of the family and set fire to the farmer's house.
After Gu Chengyu read it, he was a little puzzled. Even if you want to rob other people's money, then you won't kill the whole family, right?
What does it matter if you see your face? Anyway, this ancient world was not as technologically advanced as in the previous life, as long as they were not locals, and after committing the crime, they wandered to other places and used fake official evidence, could the government still be able to catch them?
Isn't killing people redundant? This murder is much more serious than robbery, who would do this?
Unless the looters have a deep grudge against the master's family, their purpose is not to rob the silver, but to kill people to vent their anger.
And since there is a portrait, there must be an eyewitness, so why did the eyewitness escape? Could it be that the witnesses are hiding in a place where the wanted criminals can't see them?
Gu Chengyu shook his head, he always felt that this matter was a little unusual.
Finally entered the city gate, Gu Chengyu took Mingmo and went straight to the inn where he stayed last time.
When he came to Yingnan Mansion this time, Gu Chengyu did not bring a Ming Yan. He left Ming Yan in Hangtianfu so that he could supervise the situation over there so that he could report it to him in time.
"Can you see clearly? Is that really the man? One of the wheelbarrows asked the other man, his tone suspicious.
"It's true, this person is very handsome, I will never admit to mistake." The other man replied in a low voice.
"Didn't the master tell him to avoid this person? I didn't expect that we all came to Yingnan Mansion and could meet him, it was really ghostly! ”
"Isn't it? Didn't you say before that this person was in Hangtianfu at this time? How did it appear in Yingnanfu? Do we still have to implement our plan? ”
"Wait a minute, let's finish finding someone first. This person is a variable, but don't lose your wife and lose your troops, it's better to be safe. ”
The two pushed the wheelbarrow and walked to the alley to the south, where the civilians lived, and generally Wang Laohan started to collect night incense.
"Why don't we make use of this Li Taixing?"
"No! This person is too treacherous, let's still act according to the master's orders, don't make your own decisions. Otherwise, once the master is blamed, we can't afford it. ”
Gu Chengyu and Mingmo found the inn, didn't care about anything, and slept for a few hours first.
A few hours later, Gu Chengyu rubbed his dry eyes and found that the sky outside was already dark.
"Your Excellency, are you awake?" Mingmo entered the house from outside with a copper basin, ready to serve Gu Chengyu to wash.
"Have you found out about Li Taihang's movements in the past few days?" Gu Chengyu got up and got dressed, and went to the copper basin to pluck a handful of warm water to clean his face, and then he felt that he was more sober.
"There seems to be a lot of entertainment in Lord Li's mansion these days, and it is said that tonight I also entertained those famous businessmen in the city."
Mingmo handed the handkerchief in his hand to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu took the handkerchief for a moment, "Invited the businessman?" ”
His eyes sharpened, what a Li Taixing, did he hear the wind of Hang Tianfu?
"When the victims arrived at the city gate, how did he deal with it?" Gu Chengyu put the handkerchief on the wooden shelf, and then walked to the table and sat down.
"The victims arrived at Yingnan Mansion last night, and Lord Li asked people to strictly guard the city gates, and also sent extra night patrols to prohibit the victims from entering. It's just that he didn't show up in person, and only did so to respond. ”
Mingmo thought about it carefully, and there should be nothing missing.
"What about Ding Sixteen? He didn't hand over the official's handwritten letter to Master Li? Gu Chengyu's face was slightly gloomy, this Li Taihang is really an old fritter, does this take him seriously?
"I gave it, and yesterday when it was almost dark, Ding Sixteen and they arrived at the gate of the city. When he entered the city, he went to the corner gate of the government office and handed over your post and handwritten letter, and after giving them to the porter, the porter only told him to wait. But Ding Sixteen waited for a long time, and then there was no follow-up. ”
Mingmo was also very indignant when he said this, and this time there was a post on the adult's letter, which was stamped with the adult's official seal.
What does it mean that Lord Li turned Ding Sixteen away? The lord of his family is the emperor's hand-picked messenger, can this Li Taixing be so confused?
