Chapter 18 Face
Compared with Tieshou's real name Tie Youxia, the name Tieshou is more widely known.Most people respectfully call him "Iron Catcher" or "Tie Erye", but not many call him by his real name.Thousand Noodles is one of them.
Tie Shou was already a famous arrester in Cangzhou when he was young, and he and Qian Mian had known each other since then.Counting to now, at least it has been nearly ten years.If they are congenial, the relationship should be close.But it's a pity that Tie Shou is a head catcher, and Qian Mian is an eccentric and capricious bandit. Although there are times of drinking and talking between them, they are still old enemies.Just like now.
Qian Mian knew how powerful Tie Shou's hands were, after being restrained, she changed from the fierceness and ruthlessness of the previous moment, and shook her hand holding the dagger with a smile.Even the hand holding her with an iron hand shook slightly.
"What's the matter, angry? You know I was just kidding you."
The speaker didn't feel that his actions just now were excessive.
Iron Hand didn't like her.
"Qianmian, did you steal the disaster relief money?"
She asked back, "What do you think?"
Tie Shou was a little helpless, he knew that this was where Qian Mian's bad taste lay.Once he was played around by her.
"Qianmian, the reason why I ask you this is because I feel that if this is a frame-up with ulterior motives, I don't want them to blame you."
He is already a well-known arrester in the world, and there are not many cases in his hands, but he is still the enthusiastic and gentle young man back then, and he has not become indifferent because of his experience in the world.Probably because of Tie Shou's tone, the person in front of him paused for a moment and softened his attitude, and said, "Well, it's true that I didn't steal it." The oil-paper umbrella was brought back again.The person who was always bullied by her in the past is now suppressing her in the aura, or even told the truth in front of his old enemy - a head catcher. After one lap, all the raindrops on the umbrella splashed out.
Tie Shou smiled: "Okay, I believe you."
Tie Shou understood Qian Mian's character, and originally thought that she would not be able to let go and tell him the truth, so Tie Shou just tried to ask without giving up, but he didn't expect the result to be unexpected.Although Qian Mian has a weird personality and often tells lies, Tie Shou has known her for many years, and he thinks he knows her a little bit, knowing that Qian Mian is not lying to him at this moment.It is true that she did not steal the official silver.
Then someone is setting her up.
"But it's impossible to convince others with just one person's words. In order to prove your innocence, you have to investigate the case with me."
Qianmian laughed immediately: "Why do you have to prove yourself? Anyway, they can't catch me, and I don't care what others think of me."
"Really?" Tie Shou looked at her calmly, "If you really didn't care, you wouldn't be here."
Qianmian's expression froze for a moment, and then changed back to a careless look after a while.She smiled meaningfully, and looked at Tie Shou: "That's not necessarily true, why don't you think that I came to Jingzhou to steal things?"
"Oh? Then who are you going to steal from?"
Qian Mian squinted his eyes, like a sly fox: "The magistrate of Jingzhou."
"Why?" Tie Shou asked following her words.But suddenly Qianmian was unwilling to continue telling him, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's fun."
Tieshou knew that this was not the real purpose of Qianmian.But once she shuts her mouth tightly, it will be difficult to pry any secrets out of her mouth. Iron Hand can only find the answer from other places.Although he didn't know why Qian Mian stole from the prefect of Jingzhou, what it was, and whether it had anything to do with the theft of the official bank, Tie Shou silently kept this matter in his heart.
The umbrella returned to her hand, but the rain had already half-drenched her moon-white clothes just now, and the rain dripped down her wide sleeves into the puddles on the ground.Even Qianmian's forehead hair was wet, with a faint moisture.The desolate long alley and the incessant rain, these should have put a touch of sadness on her makeup, but Tie Shou found that the casual smile on Qian Mian's face was actually baring her teeth and claws. , can not tolerate other embellishments.Her carelessness was in stark contrast to the rainy day.Tie Shou looked at the ethereal and gentle dress on her body, and suddenly thought of one thing.
"By the way, you know Miss Xie? How could you use her face to make disguises?"
The reason why Qianmian has the nickname "Qianmian" is all because of her disguise, as if a person has thousands of faces.After she changed her face, she was another person alive, which is the biggest reason why no one has been able to catch her.Some time ago, Tie Shou went to Yanbei for business, where he met Xie Wan because of a new friend. Although he didn't have a deep relationship with Xie Wan, he still remembered the other party's appearance clearly.Iron hands appreciate beautiful things, and naturally they also appreciate beautiful people.Miss Xie, who has a gentle and beautiful appearance, will feel beautiful to anyone who sees her.When Qianmian turned into Miss Xie, it could be said that she was exactly the same as Xie Wan herself, and Tie Shou couldn't believe that she hadn't seen him before.
The smile on Qianmian's lips deepened: "I have seen her before. But I have seen her, but she has never seen me. Her face is so pretty." After speaking, she touched her face with a smile.
Hearing this, Tie Shou glanced at her.
This topic was quickly removed, and the conversation returned to business.
"The place where the official bank was stolen found a human.skin.mask.said to be made by you. Tonight you and I will visit the government office at night. Go and see that human.skin.mask.
"Okay." She lazily replied, and then pointed to the alley behind her, "Xiao Xia, there is only a little way ahead, don't you want to see me off?"
The word "Xiao Xia" dragged on for a long time, knowing that she was playing again, Tie Shou couldn't help feeling helpless, and shook his head: "I still have to go outside the city."
Impatiently, Qianmian became impatient, oh, and put the umbrella in the iron hand, as if he suddenly became the person she hated the most, Qianmian waved his hands several times: "Go, go, go, go. "
With an extra umbrella in her hand, the heavy rain was completely blocked from the small world. On the contrary, Qianmian's half-drenched clothes got more rainwater.The iron hand stroked the handle of the umbrella, which was still a little warm. Seeing her impatient look towards him, the iron hand curled the corners of her mouth.
"Okay, then I'm leaving. See you under the same roof tonight."
Iron Hand didn't get a response from the other party, but he knew she would definitely come tonight.
Qian Mian was the only person left in the remote long alley.After Tie Shou left, the casual smile on her face disappeared, and the originally loose and frivolous person suddenly became calm and gentle.She was drenched all over, but she walked leisurely deeper into the alley, and the heavy dripping dress was worn by her at this moment, giving off a fairy-like smell.In the narrower part of the long alley, there is only one family living in it, and the narrow wooden door is so small that only one person can bend over to pass through.
Qian Mian curled his lips and said with emotion: "I told you I'm going to the front, but I don't believe me anyway."
[System: You fooled him badly before. 】
"Thousand Faces" smiled without saying a word.
Pushing open the door and bending over to walk in, the inside is quite different. Although the spacious yard is not comparable to that of a wealthy family, it is also full of wildness with flowers and plants.No one would have imagined that there would be such a courtyard in such a narrow alley.Qian Mian burned a bucket of hot water by himself, washed off the cold and changed into clean clothes.She walked to the dressing table and sat down, facing the mirror, tore off the second human skin mask on her face, revealing her true appearance.
The bronze mirror vaguely reflected her eyebrows and eyes, exactly the appearance of Miss Xie Wan.
After soaking in the bath, when the steaming water vapor forced out the chill of the rain in her body, it seemed to draw out her sleepiness.Xie Wan yawned lazily: "I won't be able to sleep again tonight."
[System: Tie Shou and Chu Liuxiang are both in Jingzhou now. 】
Xie Wan smiled softly, 【I know, don't worry. 】
On the other side, Tieshou went out of the city to the ruined temple more than ten miles away.As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Iron Hand felt obvious dust, and the inside of the temple really looked dilapidated.Iron Hand looked around, and it was strange that this small ruined temple had taller statues than those in ordinary temples.Generally speaking, this represents the deep belief of the people nearby, and somehow this temple fair has come to this end.
There are some places on the floor with less dust, presumably the soldiers sat on the ground when they hurriedly took shelter from the rain.Tieshou looked back and forth at the temple several times, but found nothing, so he had to go back first, and meet Qianmian in the dead of night.
After Tieshou returned to Jingzhou City, he found an inn.But there, he met Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua who were disappointed again after missing someone.
When the three met, Hu Tiehua called out first: "It's you!"
Tieshou also didn't expect that he met these two people by such a coincidence, he smiled and nodded at them: "What a coincidence."
It was indeed a coincidence, and Chu Liuxiang felt the same way.I think the fate between people is sometimes so ingenious.After this encounter, Chu Liuxiang's desire to get acquainted with each other became stronger.The three thought of one place and reported their names to each other one after another.
"Liuxiang in Xiachu."
"Under Hu Tiehua."
"I'm working hard."
All three were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other and laughed.One is a dignified bandit commander, and the other is the four famous arresters, and they still feel that it is too late to meet each other, why is it not worth laughing?
