Chapter 83: Wanted Thief
(Cat flutter Chinese) In the dead of night, the room was quiet, only the burnt candle on the table shone faintly, and under the reflection of this light, a black shadow stood outside the door for a long time, until the candlelight went out, and the black shadow disappeared.
I don't know how long I slept, but Yunluo finally opened his eyes, and the room was already dark, and the air was filled with the unique smell of candle flames.
He didn't come tonight.
Yunluo smiled bitterly, but the tip of his nose was sour, and something slowly gathered in his eyes.
He won't be here tonight.
Tilt your head and try to push back the liquid that had just gathered.
She wasn't allowed to shed tears, absolutely not.
This is her choice, a choice that is good for herself and Nan Yixuan.
However, she was still so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable......
What to do?
Yunluo covered his eyes with one hand, pressed his chest with the other, and took a heavy deep breath before suddenly standing up.
No, she had to find something to do, and if she was distracted, maybe it wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Yunluo quickly changed his clothes, put on a mask, and disappeared into the room.
It's just that what she didn't know was that from the time she walked out of the bedroom door, to the time she walked out of Linglong Pavilion and left Yunfu, there was a gaze that was always staring at her tightly and never moved away.
This night, following the four great families, there was another "bloody storm".
The next morning, the entire Moon City was boiling again.
"Hey, have you heard, Wang Yuanwai's house in the east of the city was also robbed last night, and even the underwear of his eight aunts and wives was stolen. ”
"Ah, really? How did I hear that it was the house of the rich man Liu in the north of the city? I heard that not only was the great treasury looted, but all the ledgers and even IOUs that had been lent out were burned. ”
"No, you all heard it wrong, I just passed by the forest landlord's house in the south of the city, his eldest wife is cursing the land outside, the entire Lin family has been hollowed out, and the deeds of sale of all the servants and maids, as well as the lease deeds of the tenant farmers have been burned. ”
"You're all right, and it's not just these three, the worst is the boss Li who opened the casino in the west of the city, he was stolen to the point that there was no one left, even the pai gow dice in the casino were gone, someone just saw him jump into the moat, but fortunately he was rescued. ”
Could this be the same person who stole the four great families last time?
"Yes, it must be, but if it was a panic last time, then this time it will be very happy, these people are usually treacherous people of fish and flesh, and they steal well. ”
"Shhhhhh ”
“……”
The sound of discussion on the street reached the ears of the two people on the top floor of Yuxue Building.
"Oh, I didn't expect this bold thief to come out and be arrogant again. ”
Xue Li leaned against the window, shook the jade fan in his hand, and turned around after finishing, but saw that Nan Yixuan didn't listen to him at all, but supported his head with one hand, and was napping with his eyes closed.
Xue Li was not happy, walked up to him and knocked on the table with a fan, "Hey, even if you lose sleep because of broken love, at least respect people when you come to me." ”
Nan Yixuan didn't raise his head, didn't even open his eyes, just said lightly: "Isn't it just stealing something, what's there to be a big fuss about." ”
What Xue Li didn't know was that he ran around with the "thief" they called last night, and from time to time he had to secretly solve a few troubles for her, and finally followed her home, until he was sure that she was in bed, and then returned to the palace, but it was already bright at that time.
"You ......" Xue Li was speechless, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly said: "Last time you pit me with a Baining Dan, can you do me a favor now?"
"What's the matter?" Nan Yixuan finally opened his eyes and looked up at him.
Xue Li saw that there was hope, and hurriedly sat down opposite him, and then said, "I want to borrow the Phantom Pavilion to do a private matter." ”
Nan Yixuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Li inquiringly, "Your Xue family's strength is not weak, what exactly does it take the Phantom Pavilion to do?"
"Well...... Xue Li's eyes flickered, and there was an embarrassed expression on his face.
Seeing that he hesitated, Nan Yixuan raised his eyebrows and said: "If you don't want to, I won't be reluctant, and I won't object to you using the Phantom Pavilion, but whether to report this matter to the pavilion master, I have to think about it." ”
When Xue Li heard this, she was immediately anxious, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it just to find someone, there is no need to report to the pavilion master." ”
"Oh, looking for someone?" Nan Yixuan glanced at him meaningfully, "Woman?"
"No, it's a man. This time Xue Li replied very cheerfully, and after a pause, he finally said honestly: "This person is the thief they just had." ”
The person Xueli is looking for is Yunluo?!
Nan Yixuan's spirit was shocked, and the sleepy insects were suddenly gone.
"What are you looking for her?" Nan Yixuan didn't think that Xue Li was looking for her because she stole his Xue family.
Suddenly, Nan Yixuan thought of the phantom ring, it seemed that Xue Li had really been in contact with Yunluo alone, but fortunately he didn't know her true identity.
It's just that he still wants to agree to Xue Li's request?
Because with the ability of the Phantom Pavilion, it is not impossible to find this "thief".
Well, it seems that he had better report to their great pavilion master.
At this time, Xue Li didn't know that his good brother was planning to sell him, so he just sighed and said, "Hey, this matter is a long story." ”
Xue Li went to his Juyuan Fang several times to sell things, and then stole his Xue family after falling out, and then when he sent someone to follow him, he told Nan Yixuan about it.
After listening to Xue Li's narration, Nan Yixuan couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that the young master of the dignified Xue family would have a time when he couldn't do anything about someone." ”
"You just bury me. Xue Li gave him an angry look, and said with a dejected look in his eyes: "After that, I sent many people to look for this thief, but he disappeared as if he had never appeared, and I even found the beggar's nest where he gave the buns and clothes, and the people inside have never seen him again." ”
At this point, Xue Li looked out the window, his eyes full of excitement: "Last night, he finally reappeared, so this time I can't let him escape no matter what." ”
If you get caught, what's the point?
Nan Yixuan thought silently in his heart, but said on his lips: "Okay, you can let the brothers do this, but after you catch someone, you have to let me see it." ”
"That's a must. Xue Li patted Nan Yixuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "I finally saw you smiling, since you supported me, then your affairs, do you want me to help you too." ”
Nan Yixuan naturally knew what was going on with Xue Li, and waved his hand to refuse, "No need, I'll solve it myself." ”
Just after running with her all night last night, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and starting tonight, he wanted her to know a real self.
At this time, Yunluo in the Linglong Pavilion was still asleep.
I stole something all night last night, and I enjoyed it, and I was tired and paralyzed.
Mother Wu had come in several times, and seeing that she was still asleep, she went out again.
If she hadn't just confirmed that her sister was really asleep, she might have been in a hurry to find a doctor at this time.
It's just that what happened to her and the four princes yesterday.
Mother Wu sighed and came to the kitchen, this is my sister's fifteenth birthday, she has prepared a lot of delicious things for her, and now she is ready, and she can eat it as soon as she wakes up.
I didn't even eat dinner last night, so I'm going to be hungry, but maybe I'll be in a better mood after a full meal.
Just when Wu's mother wanted to put a cup of pork rib soup on the pot to stew, a maid suddenly came in and shouted at her: "Wu's mother, it turns out that you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time." ”
"What's the matter?" Wu's mother turned around, but saw that it was the assistant girl of the housekeeper Yun'an.
"The master has something to look for you, so hurry up and take a look. ”
As soon as she heard that the old man was looking for her, Wu's mother didn't dare to delay, took the pork rib soup out of the pot, and left in a hurry.
Just after she left, a figure sneaked into the kitchen.
Lunch time was still early, there was no one in the kitchen, the figure walked quickly to the ingredients that Wu's mother had just prepared, and after looking at it for a while, he stopped in front of the pork rib soup, took out a paper bag from his arms, and poured all the white powder in it.
The man quickly left the kitchen, but she didn't know that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches.
After Yunluo woke up, she felt hungry, and Wu's mother was not there, so she could only come to the kitchen to forage for food by herself, but she didn't want to be bumped into this scene by her.
If it was someone else, she wouldn't think much about it, but that person turned out to be Yunxin.
She didn't think that Yun Xin came to the kitchen to look for food like her, and she looked flustered and hurried, clearly looking like a thief.
After Yun Xin left, Yun fell into the kitchen, and she saw the ingredients prepared by Wu's mother on the table at a glance.
stepped forward to take a look, it was all some things she usually likes to eat, and Yunluo immediately knew that these were prepared for her by Wu's mother, because Wu's mother had passed a few years ago, and when she was on her birthday, she must make her a table of delicious food.
A burst of warmth came over his heart, but Yunluo was not careless, and checked it seriously, and finally locked on the cup of pork rib soup.
Xu was too nervous, and Yun Xin didn't mix it after taking the medicine, so there was still a layer of white powder floating on the soup.
This poisoning method is really clumsy!
Yunluo sneered, her sister is really persistent, if she doesn't kill her, she will never give up.
In that case, let's play with her well, just to distract her mind.
Thinking of this, Yunluo closed the lid as it was, and then as if he didn't know anything, he took a steamed bun and walked out of the kitchen while gnawing on it.
