When they walked out of the square, Hui Mo, who had been missing for a long time, finally showed up. He hurriedly said, "Wait for me, wait for me, I'll go with you."
Ning Shu saw that he was wet as if he had just swam in the river. She laughed and said, "Where did you go?"
Hui Mo looked at his wet clothes, which faintly exuded a "wonderful" smell. He said sadly, "Don't mention it, I'm so unlucky. I just saw a strange person in the square. It seemed that he was quietly following you, so I quickly followed him. I didn't expect that person to be so vigilant. I was discovered when I was just two steps away, and then we fought. I almost caught him, but I didn't expect that a deaf old woman suddenly opened the window and poured a basin of water to wash her feet. It just happened to pour on my body, and that person ran away. "
Ning Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry about his good luck. She wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but she took it back halfway, "You, you've worked hard. What happened to your face? "
Hui Mo's face was bitter. He could only sigh about why he was always the one who was injured, "I was bitten by mosquitoes on the tree just now. The mosquitoes here are too fierce. It's as if they have been hungry for a year and a half. They caught me and ate me until I was full. I couldn't even hide. It's a pity that my skin is so soft and tender …" He twisted his clothes and said, "By the way, before that person ran away, I took a tapestry from him. Here, look."
Ning Shu took it in her hand and carefully identified it. She frowned and said, "It's from the palace."
Tan Siwei took the tapestry and also confirmed, "It's the weaving method of the Imperial Household Department. It should be tied to the token. This person may be an eunuch or an imperial guard in the palace."
Ning Shu took a deep breath. The weather was too hot. Her breath blended into the air and disappeared without a trace. It was like the invisible haze that shrouded the entire capital.
"Excuse me, please excuse me."
Xinglong Wharf was the noisiest and most chaotic place in the eastern part of the city. All kinds of captains controlled everything here. Ship after ship transported the capital to all corners of the country, and then unloaded ship after ship from all over the country into the capital. They did not stop even after the sun had set. The stewards had lights in their hands and their hands on their waists. Under the urging of the stewards, hundreds of bare-chested strong men bent their backs and carried large bags one after another, shuttling back and forth between the deck and the shore. They were so busy that no one could see their figures clearly.
"Excuse me, have you seen three children this tall at the docks? No, thank you. "
"Sir, do you have children called Zimo and Qinxin here? Alright, alright. Sorry to disturb you. "
The few of them ran around the dock but found nothing. Ning Shu wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "This is not the way. There are too many people at the dock. It's dark and no one knows each other. It's a waste of time."
"Sigh, you're lucky that there are still people who care about you. I just walked two steps and was avoided by others. I didn't even have time to ask. " The water that Hui Mo used to wash his feet was already smelly, and it was steamed by the hot sweat on his body. The smell was so sour that he was despised by everyone. His whole face was wrinkled like a rag.
Compared with him, Tan Siwei was much better. His bamboo pattern robe was also wrinkled in the crowd, but at least he still had the temperament to support himself. He looked at Hui Mo sympathetically and said, "Directly revealing the identity of the government will not only alert the enemy, but also may expand the public opinion. We have to think of a way quickly."
Ning Shu lowered her head and thought for a while. She smiled and said, "Problems that can be solved with money are not problems."
Hui Mo blinked, "What do you mean?"
Ning Shu raised her head and looked at him with a smile, "Your mansion should not be short of money, right?"
Hui Mo: … Is it too late for me to leave now?
Soon, Hui Mo picked up a lantern and flew up to the small building next to him. He stood on the railing and sprinkled hundreds of copper coins into the sky, "Look, look, look, look, a hundred taels of silver to find a pet! My master has a snow-white Pekingese as his pet. When he was passing by here, he accidentally lost his pet. My master is very anxious. Everyone, old and young, come and have a look. As long as you can provide clues about this pet, I will give you ten taels of silver for one, twenty taels of silver for two, or one hundred taels of silver for two. Even if you don't have any clues, if you come to join in the fun and spread the news, you can also get ten copper coins for free. Don't miss this opportunity! "
For ordinary workers, they can only earn a dozen copper coins by carrying bags for a day. One hundred taels of silver was something that they could never dream of in their lifetime. His shout immediately attracted hundreds of people to stop and squeeze over to grab the copper coins. It was very lively.
"Come, come, come. Everyone, calm down. Speak one by one."
Seeing that Hui Mo was busy dealing with these workers, Ning Shu winked at him from a distance and manually praised him.
Although this trick was simple, since those children came here to find a way to make money, as long as they heard that they could get copper coins for free, they will definitely rush over without hesitation. It will greatly shorten the time to find the pet.
Hui Mo's eyes were sharp. Standing at a high place, he saw a few children hurriedly walking up the deck and running towards them. He hurriedly winked at Ning Shu who was downstairs. "They're coming, they seem to be the ones over there."
Ning Shu turned her head and immediately squeezed out of the crowd to greet the children. But at the next moment, something unexpected happened.
