Chapter 62
Ji Xing, the unlucky child, was afraid that he would be recognized, so he got two hats and put them on both of them, and then pressed them down low. They first found the old couple on the boat and asked for a long time, but it was just that situation, and there was no unnecessary clue to find.
Afterwards, the two men looked for traces along the river. Since the corpse was floating on the river, they must have rushed down from the upstream.
Su Haoyi had not eaten yet and was so hungry that he was ginger. Ji Xing was not full when he woke up early, so the two of them found a ermeal shop and ordered mutton soup cakes and sat down to eat.
Because the weather is cold, mutton soup can warm up well. The first meal Su Haoyi ate in Beijing was mutton soup cakes. At that time, her uncle, Monk Miaozai, took her to eat. She has always remembered it for so many years and had eaten it with Jixing several times.
After the mutton soup was brought up, Ji Xing took out a few dried peppers from the purse he carried with him, crushed them and threw them in, and asked Su Haoyi: "Do you want it?"
Su Haoyi was a little surprised and smiled and said, "You still carry this with you."
Ji Xing lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this going to investigate the case? I'm afraid I'm too tired, so I can use this to refresh myself."
Su Haoyi thought about it, but still didn't want it. She took a sip of mutton soup and asked Ji Xing: "If I don't come with you, would you really plan to check it alone?"
Ji Xing nodded and said, "Of course, I won't dare to use the servants at home. They will complain to me and ask my uncle to find out, and they will lock me up."
Su Haoyi certainly knew that these servants of the Gao family were different from those in other mansions. They never flattered the master and sought honor. They had to read and read, and they were polite, righteous, and honest in everything.
After drinking mutton soup, the two of them paid back the meal and continued to search along the river bank. However, there were people on both sides of the Chunchou River, and there was no hidden place. Besides, it was impossible to tell whether the man was killed by the river or was thrown away by the river after being killed elsewhere. Moreover, the rain was so heavy last night that even if there were traces, it was washed away.
Because it rained, all the houses closed their windows and doors. No one saw abnormal people and things, nor did anyone hear suspicious movements.
Su Haoyi felt that Jixing was just a fresh moment, and when he couldn't find anything, he would naturally become slow and bored. He felt bored and let go.
Therefore, he specially accompanied Ji Xing for a long time. The old things made him tired and he still found nothing until the evening.
Ji Xing looked at Tian and said, "I have to go out of the city. If I don't leave the city gate, it will be closed."
He and Su Haoyi made an appointment to continue looking for clues the next day, and then left in disappointment.
Su Haoyi accompanied Ji Xing for a day. The mutton soup cake I had eaten before had been digested, and he was already hungry again.
I thought the road back was too far, so I planned to find a place to have supper first.
The night gradually came up, and in Wuwei Lane, Ganlu Street, a gorgeously decorated carriage was walking very slowly.
A wind light hung in front of the car, shaking, dragging the shadow of the carriage for a while and shortening it.
People who often walk around this alley have turned a blind eye to this carriage and know that it is the young master of the Duke of Jing and is about to go to bed again.
The nickname of the young man from the Duke of Jing State is Dong Niuer. The reason why he named this girl is because he was too cute to raise her in old age and was afraid that he could not support her, so he named her girl.
This child is less than one year old and must be in a carriage to coax him to sleep when he sleeps, otherwise he will cry.
Every time the child is about to sleep, the coachman has to drive the special carriage, a nurse holding him inside, and a girl accompanying him. She has to walk back and forth for a few times before she can fall asleep.
The coachman slowly led the car in front, and the night was dim and there were few pedestrians. There were no bells hanging on the horse, so that it would not affect the young master's sleep.
Wuwei Lane is behind Puzhao Temple, and the shadow of the back hall of the temple covers a section of the road in the alley.
The carriage was slightly bumpy when passing through this place, but the coachman didn't care, thinking it was a small pit on the road.
When I walked to the alley, I felt that it was almost time to go, so I asked quietly: "Ma Liu, can you go back?"
Every time, I had to wait until the young master fell asleep before I could take the carriage back to the mansion. The carriage was quiet and there was no reply.
The coachman asked again, but still did not answer.
"Maybe my voice is too small, and it's windy today." The coachman thought to himself, raising his voice a little: "Cuigu, Ma Liu, can you go home?"
But no one agreed.
The coachman carefully unveiled the curtain and looked inside, because the lantern was shining, he could see the scene in the car clearly.
The coachman was startled because the wet nurse and maid were both lying inside in the carriage, but the young master disappeared.
The coachman was so scared that he lost his soul. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He reached out to test the maid and nurse's breath, and confirmed that the two of them were still alive and should have just fainted.
He was in front of and behind the car and was able to find it, but he didn't even see the quilt of the young master, let alone the child.
At this time, there was no one in the alley. The coachman searched carefully in the alley again, but he did not see the young master, so he quickly pulled the car back to report the news.
When the people in the mansion heard that the young master was lost, what could that matter?!
The government immediately reported to the officials, and the government was brightly lit and noisy, and it was a mess.
Besides, Su Haoyi, although he only went to a small restaurant, the chefs who could stand firm in the sky were all good at craftsmanship. Su Haoyi also walked too many roads this day, so he ate particularly sweetly and couldn't help but eat an extra bowl.
Because he was too full, Su Haoyi could not leave quickly. He walked back slowly while enjoying the night.
Because it had just rained and the air was so wet and cold, Su Haoyi hugged her shoulders and shivered.
"Wow, this is really cold." Su Haoyi said, thanks to his full food. Otherwise, it would be very cold and hungry.
Su Haoyi walked slowly and saw a carriage in front of him. He recognized it as the carriage of the little marquis of the Yinghou Mansion. He thought that the two of them were not very happy before, so he thought it would be better to avoid it. It would be better to do less than more, so he turned to the alley next to him.
She walked in square brick alley, which was originally very remote and seemed particularly quiet at night.
Su Haoyi's footsteps were very light. If she hadn't been someone with extraordinary ears, she wouldn't have heard her footsteps at all.
Halfway through, a black shadow flashed in front of him. Su Haoyi was stunned for a moment. The night was not deep, so there was already a thief?
She looked at it and found that this was the Hu family’s property. Mr. Hu was a regular customer of their place and had a very good relationship. Su Haoyi then coughed and said, “Friend, come out quickly, otherwise I will call someone.”
Her original intention was to scare the thief out and tell him not to steal things.
