When Emperor Xianzong stood at the door of the imperial study and regained his confidence from the old Taoist priest, Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang were already walking around the streets of Fengjing City with the old woman.
The old woman was stumbling along the street without any sense of direction, still muttering the word "monster". Passers-by avoided her and dared not approach her.
Yu Xiaoxiao muttered to Gu Xinglang in the back: "Is it right for me to put some clothes on her? Otherwise she will scare the children to tears."
A little boy of five or six years old looked at the old woman with disheveled hair and burst into tears.
Yu Xiaoxiao..., I've never seen someone who is so good at ruining things!
Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao away and said, "She has been talking all the time. What is she talking about?"
Yu Xiaoxiao could hear the old woman talking. She could be described as a monster if she were to turn it upside down. "She was saying she was hungry," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang casually.
Gu Xinglang looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you hungry?"
Yu Xiao: "How about we buy something to eat?"
The old woman fell to the ground.
Yu Xiaoxiao took Gu Xinglang to buy two bowls of spicy soup.
Gu Xinglang held the spicy soup in his hand, looked at the old woman who was some distance away from them, and whispered, "I think she is really crazy."
Yu Xiaoxiao bought another pancake and a baked sweet potato, and said, "What do you mean by getting angry? It's normal if there is no result, and it's lucky if there is a result. Anyway, we don't have anything to do now, so even if we are treated like a dog by this old lady, we won't lose anything, right?"
When the dog is walking? Gu Sanshao is simply unable to speak.
Yu Xiaoxiao took a few bites of the roasted sweet potato, turned around and picked up a bag of pea cakes.
The old woman walked aimlessly, and Young Master Gu followed her aimlessly. As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, she ate along the way.
It was almost dusk, and Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang followed the old woman on the same street for the fourth time.
Gu Xinglang looked at the street scene around him and said, "Could this be the hiding place of the gang of thugs?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was eating a steamed bun in her hand at the moment. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Gu Xinglang suggested: "Should we go back?" We can't really let others walk us around like dogs, right?
Yu Xiao: "Wait until I finish eating this fire."
After eating the fire-baked bread, Her Royal Highness the Princess bought some glutinous rice and lotus root. After eating the glutinous rice and lotus root, she bought two bowls of sweetened taro shoots.
Gu Xinglang said: "You eat sweets this way, aren't you choking?"
"Then I'll buy something salty later," Yu Xiaoxiao responded without thinking.
Gu Xinglang had no choice but to continue strolling the street with his wife.
When they followed the old woman onto Xuanhua Street for the sixth time, Yu Xiaoxiao threw away the empty oil paper bag in her hand, wiped her mouth, and said to Gu Xinglang, "Half full, we'll go home for dinner later."
Gu Xinglang looked at his wife's belly and wondered how she could fill it.
Patrolling Xuanhua Street was a group of bailiffs from the Dali Temple. After seeing the princess and her husband again, the bailiffs all looked strange. How many times have these two come? Is it true that they walk prisoners around like this?
"Your three o'clock direction," Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly said to Gu Xinglang without paying attention to the expressions of the yamen runners.
Gu Xinglang said: "What did you say?"
Yu Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead, she was being stupid again! "Look to your right," Yu Xiaoxiao whispered to Gu Xinglang, "Don't make big movements while you look."
Gu Xinglang glanced to his right. It was just approaching dusk and there were still many pedestrians on the street. All Gu Xinglang saw was the crowd. He didn't know who Yu Xiaoxiao was talking about.
Yu Xiaoxiao lowered her head to buy broad beans while saying to Gu Xinglang, "The man with a green leaf on his hat, is this the legendary green hat? Haha."
Gu Xinglang squinted his eyes and really saw a man with a green leaf on his hat. Judging from the shape of the leaf, it should be a rose leaf.
Yu Xiao: "There is a Fulai Pawnshop 250 meters down this street. There are roses growing on the wall of the pawnshop. That's where the man was standing just now."
Gu Xinglang said: "What happened to him?"
"We walked this street six times, and the man changed his position six times. He wore a hat at first, and he didn't wear a hat the second time. The third time he took off his coat. The fourth time he pretended to cough and covered his face with his sleeves. The fifth time he changed his hairstyle, and the sixth time he put on his hat again. You little bastard," Yu Xiaoxiao said disdainfully, "Do you think I won't recognize him just because he changes his appearance? I can tell by his bones!"
Gu Xinglang..., what's that look in his wife's eyes? He had walked up and down this street so many times, but he had never seen such a person coming.
"Once or twice he was just strolling around to watch the fun. This is our sixth time here in such a long time, and he's still appearing near us. He must be spying on us," Yu Xiaoxiao concluded.
Gu Xinglang looked away and asked, "Is he the only one there?"
"There is only this one. I have observed the others and there is no problem," Yu Xiaoxiao threw an iron bean into her mouth.
Gu Xinglang glanced at the noisy crowd on the street. Did his wife observe everyone on the street?! "Xiao Xiao you," Young Master Gu was a little speechless again.
Yu Xiao: "This is a means of reconnaissance. First use the method of elimination to eliminate all the harmless ones, and then use... Is this the time for us to talk about this?" Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that they were here to catch a murderer, so why was she talking about reconnaissance with her Xiao Gu?
Gu Xinglang said "uh", he was very interested in this topic.
"Let's focus on the main point first," Yu Xiaoxiao said as she chewed the broad beans. "We have two options now. One is that we arrest the guy right now and take him to jail and beat him until he tells the truth. The other is that we follow him, but if we do that, we won't be sure when we'll have dinner today."
Gu Xinglang stroked his forehead. His wife was still thinking about dinner at this time! "The second one," said Young Master Gu.
Yu Xiaoxiao sighed. How long would she have to live with this miserable life of not being able to eat on time? (How can you be on time from the moment you open your eyes to eat to the moment you close your eyes to sleep? Ah hey!)
Gu Xinglang said: "After we finish our work, we will go home and have dinner at home. What should we do now? I mean, what about the old woman?" They followed the man, what should they do with the old woman?
Yu Xiaoxiao flexed her wrist and said, "Then I will have to sacrifice my image. When I become a shrew, remember to do your best to stop me."
Shrew? Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and asked in a faint voice, "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing," Jade said softly, "I'm going to be violent for once."
Third Master Gu..., he totally didn't understand, what on earth did his wife want to do? !
