Chapter 001: First Encounter

In Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops on both sides of the street. There are many forests. In the open spaces on both sides of the street are small vendors shouting and drinking. The streets stretch east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, where the streets are constantly crowded with pedestrians. There are those who carry burdens and hurry, those who drive to deliver goods, those who drive donkeys to pull trucks, and those who stop to enjoy the scenery. With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up, and there are tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses, and so on. It's a lively and extraordinary, Sheng Chang'an.

A man walked from the middle of the street, with his shoulders slanted, his clothes loosely hanging on his body, a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and a pair of wooden slippers, walking staggeringly. Whistling at young women who come and go. flirtatious. From time to time, he turned back and shouted.

"Fatty, what's the matter with you, can you hurry up, don't eat it. It's all fat like pigs, and they still eat. ”

I saw a tall, round fat man running towards him, holding three or four meat buns in his arms, and kept stuffing the buns into his mouth as he ran.

"Big brother, you shouted me out if you didn't let people eat enough, what's the big deal!" The bun in his arms had been eaten by him when the fat man ran closer.

"Fatty, let me tell you, if today's thing is done, you can eat as many meat buns as you want in the future. As he spoke, the man slapped the fat man excitedly.

"It's really fake, big brother, don't fool me! That's what you said last time. The fat man scratched his head in disbelief.

"Oh, I said, fatty, don't you even believe me now, when did the big brother lie to you," the man said angrily, twisting the fat man's ears.

"Ahh The fat man cried out with his hands over his ears in pain.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, root me, let's go have a cup of tea first, observe, and do it in the evening. The man let go of the fat man's ears and beckoned the fat man, and the two walked towards West Street.

The two arrived at the teahouse, sat in a position facing the street, and beckoned Xiao Er to tea.

"Er Mazi, serve tea to the master, I want the best in your store. The man beckoned to the shopkeeper.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest young master of the Ye family, what's the matter, you've made a fortune. A tall, thin man with a black mole on his face walked over and said.

"What nonsense, what the master has is money, then, is it enough. As he spoke, the man took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table.

"Hey, it seems that you're really getting rich! But this store doesn't accept dirty silver, please go to another store!" said the shopkeeper after glancing at the silver.

"I said Er Mazi, what the hell do you mean, deliberately looking for the master's stubble. The fat man told him if it was dirty silver. The man slapped the table angrily, stood up, and motioned for the fat man to teach the shopkeeper a lesson.

The shopkeeper looked up and glanced at the fat man in front of him. Grab the money and run.

After a while, the shopkeeper came over with tea. "Drink it, please use it slowly. ”

"Well, you go down! If you have something, the master will call you again. The man waved for the shopkeeper to walk away.

"Cut! The shopkeeper muttered and walked away.

"Fatty, let me tell you, did you see the pawnshop opposite? Yesterday afternoon, when I was drinking tea here, I heard the pawnshop guy say that yesterday a woman was here as a glass jade cup. That's a priceless thing!" The man beckoned the fat man to come over as he looked around at no one.

"What is the glass jade cup, is it valuable?" the fat man asked, scratching his head and wonderingly.

"You fool! The glazed jade cup is the first of the five vessels. It is something that only appears in the Imperial Palace, and rarely appears among the people. ”

The man tapped the fat man's bare head and said.

The fat man covered his head in pain and laughed stupidly.

The two of them drank a pot of tea for about three hours, and the sky slowly darkened.

"Big brother, how long are you going to sit, I'm a little hungry!" said the fat man, clutching his stomach.

"Almost! go, let's get hands. The man stood up and beckoned to the fat man.

The two took advantage of the night to walk to the back street. Coming to the pawnshop, the fat man squatted down, let the man ride on his neck and slowly stood up.

"Fatty, fatty, slow down, don't drop the master!" the man swayed left and right and shouted to the man below him.

"Big brother, don't worry, no, have you reached it. The fat man said with a smirk.

"A little higher, a little higher, it's almost the same!" the man struggled to reach the windowsill on the second floor, and told the fat man below to be taller.

"Alright! enough is enough!" the man finally reached the windowsill, then stood up sharply, and with a slight touch of his right foot, the fat man's head flipped up in the air and leaped into the window.

The fat man struggled, did not stand firmly, and fell to the ground with a "bang". The windows on the second floor of the earthquake moved slightly.

The man poked his head out and asked, "Fatty, are you alright?" be careful, wake up the old man in a moment, and we'll be finished!"

"It's okay, it's okay, big brother, I know!" said the fat man, who got up and patted the dirt on his body.

"Well, then you just wait here for me, and if someone comes, send a code, and I'm in!" the man said and walked inside.

As the man crept into the treasure room, he heard a "bang" as if someone had hit a vase.

The man hurriedly helped himself down, looked around, and thought nervously in his heart: "Could it be that there are other thieves who know the goods to steal the glass jade cup." ”

He crawled nervously for a long time, but he no longer heard any noise in the room. There was a slight sense of disappointment. In these days, I can't even meet a connoisseur who knows the goods. ”

He was walking towards the treasure room in a daze, just as he unlocked the door of the treasure room. A cool breeze swept past him, and with a "bang" sound, someone broke into the door before him.

was taken by others first, and he would never do it. He chased after him in three steps and two steps, and shouted: "The thief from there dares to intercept your master's beard." ”

"Huh~ You dare to scold Miss Ben for being a thief. A crisp and pleasant female voice came.

"Hey, I'm still a female thief. Being cut off by a little girl, the man was even more angry.

"Ah, you still dare to call me a female thief, watch the beating. The boy said and slapped the man.

"Ahh

"Hmph, who told you that I was a female thief, you still dare to say it, I will beat you. The girl said angrily.

"Okay, you unreasonable shrew, you wait. I'll call for you thief!" the boy said angrily.

"Ahh

The girl said that she would hit it, and the boy was caught off guard and punched again.

Covering his eyes in pain, he said, "Why are you beating people again?"

"I said it! If you dare to say it, I'll beat you up. The young man said arrogantly.

"Okay, there's a kind of you don't run. The boy said as he moved secretly towards the door.

"I don't run, what do you want?" said the girl, looking at him lightly.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief, steal something!" the boy suddenly rushed out and shouted.
