Chapter 247
In the north city of Ziyang City, there is an alley called "Saojun Temple". The Zaojun Temple has long since disappeared, but the name has been passed down.Each of them has their own outstanding skills. For example, those who know how to raise birds can recognize their owners through human nature, and parrots can talk like humans; those who are good at raising fish can live for decades without dying. According to instructions, they are arranged in various patterns in the water; some people imitate the sounds of animals, and can attract the imitated animals to sing together, as if they are in a conversation; of course, there are others such as running very fast and making various gadgets Son, and so on.They rely on their handicrafts to eat, their status is low, and they are looked down upon by others, but it is these handicrafts that some powerful people have to come to their door, and they can get their own three meals a day in exchange for this, or they can support the whole family.

A woman wearing a veil walked quickly in the alley.From time to time, a guy from the shop next to him came out to solicit business, but she was completely unmoved, and just raised the brim of her hat to prevent the wind from blowing her veil.

Her destination was the "Pigeon King" Lao Xu's house in Zaojunmiao Lane. Seeing that inconspicuous door was in front of her eyes, she was stopped by a clerk from a mask shop next to her: "My guest, what do you need?" Represent?"

The woman glanced at him impatiently, and when she saw the colorful mask behind him, she showed a trace of boredom: "No need."

The guy probably saw the contempt in her eyes, so he smiled again: "Girl, our family has high-end products, and they wear the kind that others can't see."

The veiled woman looked at the guy with a strange expression, as if she had something good in her hands but was not easy to talk about, and she felt disdainful. This is a common trick used in this alley to solicit customers to do business. First, I will pull people into the house before talking, because As long as you sit in the house, the possibility of a deal will be several times greater!

"No need." The veiled woman was decisive, and then entered Lao Xu's shop without looking back.The little boy snorted from behind, with an expression of ignorance.

"Old Xu, this month's regular money." The veiled woman slapped a silver coin on the counter, and didn't say anything to Old Xu, so she walked directly to the inner room, obviously very concerned about the people and space here. familiar.

After passing through a yard and a long corridor, she arrived at the house where she kept her pigeons.Lao Xu is the shopkeeper of this store. He relies on his skills of raising pigeons to eat. His business is divided into two categories. One is raising pigeons and selling them to others. It is fostering pigeons. There will be some well-trained homing pigeons. They are inconvenient or have no energy to raise, so they are fostered here. This is a business that can generate income every month. These customers are generally very generous and do not care about money. But it is necessary to ensure that the pigeons do not make mistakes, which is a test of the breeder's ability.

Old Xu has this ability.Not only can he raise the pigeons well, but he can even heal the sick pigeons. For those pigeons whose deadline is approaching, he can also give early warning so that the foster customers can prepare in advance. At one point, he beat the other pigeon farmers in this alley and stood out.

The woman wearing a veil rolled a small note into a small letter box on the pigeon's leg, then carried the pigeon out of the cage and let it out through the window. She stared out of the window until the pigeon had disappeared. Come.

When she left Lao Xu's shop, she glanced at Lao Xu's thin figure, and suddenly had a similar feeling. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything after all.

Old Xu is still the same, he never greets his guests with a smile, this is probably the arrogance of a skilled craftsman like him, in short, he doesn't have to worry about food.He often fiddled with a safety button in a daze, which was given to him by an old man named "Old Litou" a long time ago. Speaking of which, they still have a father-son relationship for more than a year.

The woman wearing a veil just walked out of the store, and when she looked up, she was stunned.

A person came out of the noodle shop next to him, his figure and appearance were similar to her long-lost master, oh no, it was definitely him!But she didn't dare to go forward to recognize each other, because the master had issued a death order, and in Ziyang City, even if they met face to face, they couldn't talk to each other, so as not to expose their identities.She took a few steps forward, her eyes widened, and she even lifted her veil a little to get his attention.But the master didn't look at her, and walked straight to the alley.

The veiled woman hesitated for a long time, then quietly followed.She wanted to make sure that when the carrier pigeon came back, she must immediately send the news to her distant hometown as soon as possible. The young master there might still be anxious about her father's disappearance.

When the veiled girl came out of Zaojun Temple Lane, she tore off her veil. She had a beautiful face and was well maintained. She looked only 39 at the age of 27.She tried her best to walk in front of the "master", and when she passed him, she took a special look at him, but he just looked back without any other reaction.

The woman knew that the master might not be able to speak, so she didn't bother anymore, hired a small sedan chair, and said to the bearer, "Go to Qufu on Sajin Street."

In Yan Wang's mansion, Luo Wushuang was sitting next to Mu Junze, and Li Zhibin was standing opposite and speaking. He was no longer as shocked as the first time he was in Dali Temple when the princess participated in the important conversation between him and Yan Wang. up.

"You mean, they can change one person into another person?" Luo Wushuang confirmed with some incredulity after hearing Li Zhibin's explanation.

"That's true, my lord, today we have sent people to the noodle shop in Zaojunmiao Lane, and made a custom-made human skin mask. After wearing it, even your own relatives will not find it fake!" Li Zhibin reported the results he saw today truthfully, without exaggeration.

"But Yin Yucheng's appearance, how would they know?" Luo Wushuang thinks this is a big problem, because even if an artist is hired to draw it from memory, first of all, the artist must have seen Yin Yucheng with his own eyes and be impressed, and secondly, he is limited by the painting technique , the image presented may always be different from the real person, how can this ensure the consistency between the mask and the real person?

Li Zhibin was stunned for a while, but he was stopped by the question, but he quickly said truthfully: "These things are handled by the shop. As long as they ask a price, it means there is something to do; and as long as we can afford the money, things can be done." It's done." Li Zhibin thought for a while and added: "However, the shops in that alley are all old crafts, and it's not impossible for them to make some important personages in advance."

Luo Wushuang felt chills down her spine when she heard this, she and Mu Junze exchanged glances, thinking that she should send someone over to take a look sometime.
