"Then, during the period when Wang Er left, did any strange people pass by?" Su Hao asked with a frown.
"Strange people, it seems not..." Zhou Xingwen pondered, painstakingly recalled the passers-by that day, but for a moment, he suddenly remembered something like, "ah, but there was a pair of beggars."
Su Hao looked at him suspiciously: "beggar?"
"Yes, Lord. In that quarter of an hour, a couple of beggars came. They were an old man and a child. They looked like yesun. The old man came over and pestered me for money. He said that he hadn't eaten for many days. Let me give it to him. "
Seeing that Su Hao was interested, Zhou Xingwen continued: "the little beggar seemed very curious about the carriage. He circled around for a while. I don't think he did any damage, so he didn't scold him. Later, I was really annoyed by the old man, so I gave him a few coppers and sent him away. "
His words immediately let Su Hao heart alarm, intuition tells her, the two beggars have a problem.
It happened that the day passed by at that time. Why did the little beggar circle around the carriage? Is it really just curiosity?
"What do they look like?" Sue Hao narrowed her eyes, and her voice cooled down.
"Huiwangye, the old man is short, thin, with a goatee. The child is about five or six years old. There is a black birthmark on his left leg, which looks like a plum blossom."
Zhou Xingwen didn't know why the Lord seemed to care about the two beggars, but he said what he knew.
After asking for a while, Su Hao saw that Zhou Xingwen couldn't find any useful clues, so he asked him to push it down, because he had already provided considerable clues.
"I think there's something wrong with these two beggars." Su HaoDuan sat at his desk and looked at Mo fan.
"It's really suspicious." Mo fan frowned slightly.
If he was just a beggar passing by on weekdays, Su Hao would not care so much. Luoyang city is so big, and beggars are everywhere. It's nothing strange.
But why did the two beggars just pass by when they left with Wang Er? The old beggar has been pestering Zhou Xingwen. It seems that he is covering for the little beggar.
"Come out with me. I'll try my luck in the street and see if I can meet these two suspicious beggars." Su Hao told Mo fan.
"Yes." Mo fan went out with Su Hao.
After inquiring about it, Su Hao came to the street with the most beggars in Luoyang. This is a crowded and noisy place where small people gather. It is also a place where beggars live.
The streets are very busy. Tea shops and restaurants are soliciting customers. There are dumpling shops, rouge powder vendors, acrobats and, of course, many beggars squatting on the roadside.
Along the way, Su Hao didn't see a beggar who was in line with the characteristics described by Zhou Xingwen, and he was somewhat disappointed.
Also, the whole Luoyang city is so big, how can you just meet the person you are looking for.
Just when Su Hao is going to take Mo fan back to the mansion, he comes to an alley and suddenly sees two beggars, one old and the other small, in the corner. They are counting their copper coins. It seems that they have gained a lot.
Sue stares at both of them and looks at them carefully. The old man is thin and small, with a goatee. He looks like a child of five or six years old. For the convenience of begging, he rolls up his trouser legs, so Su Hao sees the black birthmark on his left leg.
These two men were the beggars who passed by the gate of King Jing's house that day!
"Watch out. Don't let them run away." Su Hao gives Mo fan a look and orders in a low voice.
"Yes." Mo fan answered in a deep voice.
Then Su Hao and his wife approached the two beggars quietly. The beggars were happily counting the coppers. Su Hao also heard them say, "I made a lot of money a few days ago, and I don't have to go begging for a month later.".
Until a shadow came down, they noticed that someone was approaching. Then they looked up at Su Hao and Mo fan with vigilance. They saw that they didn't know each other, and some doubts appeared on their faces.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? " The old beggar stood in front of the little beggar, frowning warily and staring at Su.
"I have something to ask you. You'd better be honest." Sue gave a cold hum.
The old beggar immediately scolded: "we have nothing to tell you, and we don't know each other. Get out of here."
Mo fan hears his tone disrespectful, wring eyebrow immediately, cold voice scolds: "unbridled! This is king Jing. If you don't respect him, I'll cut your tongue! "
Although he knows that Su Hao is a fake King Jing, whether the whole King Jing's house can survive depends on Su Hao, so he respects her as a real king Jing.
Seeing that Mo fan was ready to pull out his sword, the two beggars immediately shrank and shivered in the corner.
"Please forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you!" The old beggar quickly pulled the little beggar to kowtow together.
Su Hao frowned, deliberately cold face to frighten them: "OK, this time I don't care about you, but the next question I ask must be answered honestly, if you dare to have half a lie, you will not be spared."
"Yes, I dare not lie." The old and the young were relieved.
"Did you pass by the gate of King Jing's mansion a few days ago?" Su Hao asked coldly.
Hearing this, the old beggar was stiff. After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied in a low voice: "yes, my grandson and I did pass there that day, but we didn't eat for several days because we were hungry. Seeing that the young man on duty at the gate should be a good man, we begged him for a few coppers."
"Is that all? Are you going to the gate of King Jing's house just to beg? " Sue Hao narrowed her eyes and said something dangerous.
"Yes... Yes..." the old beggar grabbed his clothes with his fingers uneasily. His eyes were erratic and he didn't dare to look at Su Hao.
Su Hao was a little angry. She turned around and pulled out the sword on Mo fan's waist. Then she sneered, "I said, don't lie."
With that, she pointed the cold sword at the old beggar's nose, as if half of his nose would be cut off with one sword.
"Please forgive me! In fact, we were instructed to go to the gate of King Jing's residence that day! " The old beggar suddenly screamed, and then crawled on the ground to beg for mercy. His whole body was shaking.
The little beggar opened his eyes and looked at Su Hao in horror. There were big tears in his eyes. Originally, Su Hao didn't want to treat them so rudely, but when he saw that they were not honest, he wanted to fool her, so he couldn't help but get angry.
"What did the man tell you to do? What good have you got, say Sue's voice was already filled with anger.
"He asked us to loosen all the wheels of the carriage parked in front of King Jing's house, gave us a ingot of silver in advance, and promised to give us another ingot of silver after it was completed." The old beggar's voice was trembling and trembling, and he was honest about everything.
Sure enough, someone is behind the deliberate murder of King Jing, Su Hao's guess has been verified.
"Do you know who that man is?" She asked in a deep voice, but without any hope, because since the man wanted to harm King Jing, he would not expose his identity to the two beggars.
"I don't know, but I remember the man very well. He's eight feet long, with a beard and a mole on his brow. He's fierce. He doesn't look like a person to be provoked. "
Su Hao wrote down the characteristics described by the beggar, and then looked at him with a sneer: "you are also very brave. If you don't know who the other party is, you dare to take the job, aren't you afraid that the other party will give you money to buy your life?"
Smell speech, the old beggar suddenly pale, this time just know fear.
"Now that he hasn't killed you, go as far as you can. I don't want to see two more nameless bodies in the suburbs tomorrow." Su Hao dropped this sentence and left with Mo fan.
Because according to the current situation, the two beggars can't know more clues. Whether they can live or not depends on fate. Su Hao didn't want to help them, and it was the greatest kindness to give the last reminder.
When King Jing had an accident, these two beggars were indispensable pieces, but they were making wedding clothes for people without knowing it. Su didn't blame them and didn't sympathize with them.
"What do you think that person is?" Su Hao asked Mo fan.
Mo fan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, but maybe it's from the palace."
Sue nodded, and so did she. King Jing's influence in Luoyang city should not be underestimated. Those who dare to attack him must have the influence of the palace.
However, there are many people who are covetous of King Jing. Su Hao has no way to know who is playing tricks, so he has to write down the characteristics of the men provided by the beggars in his heart.
She was a little frustrated, not in the mood to continue to stroll in the street, so she took Mo fan back to King Jing's house.
Time passed quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, it was time for the envoys to visit. Su Hao received the news in advance. The three envoys came from different countries and would arrive in Luoyang at noon today. At that time, Su Hao would be responsible for sending them safely into the palace.
A few days ago, Su Hao did a lot of preparatory work, because she had to ride a horse and lead the army to meet the emissary, so she asked Mo fan to teach her how to ride a horse.
Although a few days can not do proficient, but the basic operation of suhao has learned, now can ride on the horse, stable will not fall.
An hour in advance, Su Hao took the army to clear the street, clearing the main road leading to the main entrance of the palace, so that no one could walk on the road.
She was riding a dark horse with more than 100 elite troops waiting at the gate of Luoyang. The sun was the most fierce at noon, and Su Hao was sweating a lot on his back. But there were many people waiting around the street.
Through understanding in advance, Su Hao knew that the three envoys who came to Miansheng this time were all defeated countries before the war, and one of them was a barbarian country defeated by King Jing himself.
