Cheng Yanjin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this year, we are not going to take a holiday, we will always stick to our posts." ”
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "It can't be like this, on the two days of the New Year, you still need to take turns to arrange for them to go home for a reunion dinner." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wei Zheng said at this time: "Your Majesty, we received good news from Jiannan last night, that the rebel camp was destroyed and their deputy commander was captured alive. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he shouted happily: "Good, good, good, I will receive this gift before the New Year." Give me a reward immediately, and all the soldiers will have their salaries doubled for the New Year. ”
Wei Zheng replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
"Is there anything else going on?"
The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, is the New Year's dinner on the first day of the new year still outside the Daming Palace?" ”
"Of course."
"How much is that?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Today's wind and rain are smooth, everyone's harvest is good, then change it to a flowing water seat, put it for three days in a row, and celebrate it all over the world." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”
Qin Shubao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the treasure house has been counted, and it is found that only one thing has been lost. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he asked solemnly, "What did you lose?" ”
Qin Shubao said, "Xuantian Fragment. ’
When Li Shiming heard this, he said to himself: "How could someone steal this thing, did they find the other two?" ”
Yan Ruyu below heard it and immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Xuantian fragment scroll has been destroyed by fire back then, and it is impossible for it to appear in the world again, I guess they found the middle scroll." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I guess so, but luckily they only stole this thing." ’
"The work of raising those dead soldiers must be done well."
Qin Shubao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have settled everything. ”
He looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
His Royal Highness's ministers said at the same time: "It's gone." ”
"Then, let's dismiss the meeting, and see you next year on the sixteenth."
"I wish the emperor a happy new year."
"Let's have fun."

Zhiwei saw that Feiyan Nu's ten fingers were bandaged, and asked, 'What's the matter, the fingers are all injured?' ’
With tears in her eyes, the Flying Swallow said, "I didn't know that thing was so difficult." ”
Zhiwei hurriedly asked, "What is so difficult?" ”
The Swift Girl immediately said, "It's nothing. You'll find out in a few days. ”
"Okay, okay."
He took the little hand of the swallow girl and said: "Today is the twenty-eighth day of the New Year, I heard that today is the most lively time before the Chinese New Year, let's go shopping." ”
Now Chang'an Avenue is all occupied by small stalls, leaving only one main road for pedestrians to pass.
Feiyan Nu looked at Zhiwei with a smile while eating the sugar gourd, that thing will be ready tomorrow, how can I give it to him then?
Zhiwei stopped suddenly, and Feiyan Nu couldn't dodge and bumped into it.
"Eh," she said, touching her head, "it hurts." ”
Zhiwei hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, did it hurt you?" ’
She nodded, "Why did you stop?" ”
Zhiwei pointed to the front and said, "You see if someone is stealing something there." ”
Feiyan Nu looked at Zhiwei's reassuring gaze and found that someone had touched someone else one after another.
She took a closer look and saw that the man had reached over and touched the others during the collision, and when the hand was stretched out, a money bag appeared.
The Swift Girl immediately shouted, "Go, let's go and catch him." ”
"Yes." They immediately pushed through the crowd and walked towards the man.
When it was almost there, Zhiwei said: "Wait look at me, don't do it yet, we have to catch it." ”
They pretended to approach the man casually, and the money bag loomed into view.
The thief looked at Zhiwei who was walking towards him, and found that he was brightly dressed, and the money bag was bulging, and there might be a lot of money, so he immediately leaned in deliberately.
"Huh." He gently bumped into Zhiwei and cried out in pain, "How did you walk?" Don't look at people. ”
Zhiwei looked at him and smiled: "What's the matter, it hurt you?" ”
The thief looked at his smiling eyes and said angrily: "Of course, next time you go farther, Uncle Ben is in a good mood today, so I won't hit you." ’
"You don't beat me, but I want to hit you." Zhiwei suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "You want to run away after stealing my things?" ”
The thief immediately shouted, "Steal something, let go of my hand." ”
At this time, the others saw this and immediately gathered around.
The thief was not afraid when he saw a group of people surrounding him, so he bit back and said, "Fellow villagers, this outsider just tried to steal my things, and I caught him. ’
Someone in the crowd said, "It turned out to be a thief, and he was wearing such brocade clothes, I think they were all stolen." ”
Zhiwei glanced at Feiyan Nu and whispered, "Look at who was talking just now, it may be the same party." ”
The Swift Girl immediately looked at the crowd.
At this time, the thief saw that Zhiwei didn't dare to speak, and immediately coaxed: "You see, I don't dare to speak out as soon as I say it." ”
"yes, yes."
The voice sounded again.
The Swift looked and recognized the man, and she said, 'I know who it is.' ’
"Okay, let's see mine."
Zhiwei began to fight back at this time, he grabbed the man's hand and said, "Folks, since some people say that I am a thief, then let's do this, let's search my body together to see who has a problem." ”
The thief immediately resisted: "What kind of search?" That's a matter for the government. ”
"Yes, that's a matter for the government," someone in the crowd said.
"Okay, okay, okay, since it's a matter of the government, then let's go to the government" Zhiwei said: "Also, the one who just spoke out also come, be a witness." ”
The man immediately fell silent and slowly retreated.
But the Swift Girl had already walked up behind him and said, 'Why did you leave so quickly?' ’
The man was startled, and immediately looked back to see that it was a woman, and he immediately exclaimed, 'What does it matter to you?' Get me away. ’
He was about to push the Swift Girl away, when the Swift Girl suddenly turned her backhand and directly pressed him to the ground.
"Hmph, don't try to run."
At this time, Zhiwei also pressed the thief and came over, saying, "Let me go to the government with me." ”
The thief immediately said: "Let go of me, let go of me, help, someone is going to kidnap me." ”
Soon, the vigilante came over and asked, "What happened?" ”
Zhiwei said: "Just now these two people were stealing money bags. ”
The thief immediately said, "My lord, I don't." He has wronged me. ”
Catch quickly said: "Will I go back and talk about it?" ”
The two of them immediately pressed the thief to the yamen.
Zhiwei saw this and said, "Eh, the recovery is really fast, it was still in tatters a few days ago." ”
"Of course. ”
