Ergou smiled, as if he had never been troubled, and he looked heartless when he smiled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"How did you become like this? What about Man'er and Ziyi? ”

"They're busking up front, and we're raising money." Ergou said and showed his innocent smile again.

"What are you raising money for?" Le Yi asked in surprise.

"Man'er said that he had to open a brothel in Chang'an."

Le Yi's eyes fell out, but she didn't expect Man'er to use this method to find Lu Yuxuan.

"Take me to them!" Le Yi said anxiously.

"I'll go too!" Li Yuan suddenly jumped out and said.

Ergou showed an embarrassed look, and Le Yi was not very willing.

"You won't let me go? Then come with me to the Yamen! Li Yuan said and picked up the second dog again.

"Hey, forget it, let's go over together!" Le Yi said and punched Li Yuan angrily.

Li Yuan happily let go of Ergou, who didn't notice and suddenly fell to the ground, and at the same time a big bag fell out of his arms.

Le Yi picked up the big bag and opened it to find that it was actually some rare treasures.

Staring wide-eyed, waiting for Ergou to explain what was going on. Ergou squinted at Le Yi, as if begging if she could not ask.

Li Yuan picked up Ergou again, and Ergou was a little out of breath because of his clothes.

Le Yi hurriedly punched Li Yuan, "You let him down!" ”

"Ergou, tell us what's going on with these jewels? Otherwise, I don't know how to deal with something when the time comes! Le Yi still said bitterly.

Ergou still didn't want to say it, but when he saw Li Yuan's hand that was about to be raised, he said with a crying voice: "I said! I say! I said no, yet? ”

Li Yuan seemed to feel a great sense of accomplishment about his power, glanced at Le Yi, and seemed to say, "Praise me!" ”

Le Yi just stared at Ergou and waited for him to tell the truth, and didn't look at Li Yuan at all, Li Yuan sighed bitterly and could only wait for Ergou to speak.

Ergou inked for a long time and finally told the truth: "I stole these things from the prince."

"You're really daring!" Li Yuan said, his eyes widened angrily, as if he wanted to eat the second dog. If he used to tease Ergou as a little thief, then this time he was really angry. He despised the royal power in such a way. Defying the Great Tunnel Dynasty.

"Don't be angry yet, let's ask for details!" Seeing this, Le Yi hurriedly appeased Li Yuan, and faintly felt that this was not only related to Ergou, but also Man'er and Ziyi.

In order to raise money, Man'er went to the street every day to perform art. But after eating and drinking, there is not much left, and when will it be the first year and month to save enough? But if there is any other way, I won't steal it, rich people have a lot of money, and I guess they won't find out if I steal it, and it means a lot to Man'er. ”

"So you went to the East Palace?" Li Yuan asked.

"How dare I! It's just that on the road, I saw a girl who was very happy to spend money, thinking that she must be a rich man, so I followed her to her house to see if I could steal something good. ”

"You just said it was the prince's thing?"

"I only knew about it after I stole it, if I had known that it was the prince's thing, how would I dare to steal it?"

"How do you know it's the prince's thing?" Le Yi said with some concern.

"Because I came out after picking out something that seemed to be more valuable in the room, and when I was about to come out, someone came to the house, and that person with a small number of people seemed to be afraid of being seen."

Ergou paused, his expression showed a very painful expression, and then said: "Just when I was about to go out, I found that the front and back doors were guarded, and I couldn't enter or leave at all. I tried all the exits at the risk of being discovered, and then in despair I found out that it was impossible to get out at all. ”

"Didn't you get in easily when you went in?" Li Yuan Ergou.

"When I went in, there was no defense here, and after the guest came, the house suddenly became an impregnable place."

Ergou said, his tone became full of angry feelings, as if he wanted to swallow the life that stood in his way.

Glancing at the expressions of Le Yi and Li Yuan waiting for him to continue, Ergou continued: "The patrolling people have been going around, there is no hiding place at all, and finally I found a kennel that can barely hide, but unfortunately the vicious dog keeps barking. ”

Ergou's expression was even more angry when he talked about this dog than when he talked about the guest, and it could be said that he already had a feeling of hatred, "I didn't bring anesthetic, otherwise the dog would have died." ”

"When the dog barked, the patrol was about to come, and I saw the light of the patrolman's lantern in the corner of the wall, so I had to jump into the kennel in a hurry."

Le Yi glanced at the unkempt appearance of the second dog, and the fight scene between him and the vicious dog suddenly appeared in his mind.

"If it weren't for the fact that I often had the experience of fighting with dogs when I was a child, I would have died this time, and their dog didn't know what to eat and grew up, and his strength was not ordinary."

When Li Yuan heard this, he didn't feel impressed by the two dogs, and he actually fought with the vicious dogs in the kennel, and he could still come out alive.

"Didn't the patrol have an idea of you when you were fighting the vicious dogs?" Li Yuan asked incredulously.

"I had already subdued it when the patrol came, and I squeezed its mouth so tightly with my hand that it could barely make a sound."

Looking at Le Yi and Li Yuan's stunned expressions, Ergou smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Could it be that you can't hold the dog's mouth all night?" Le Yi asked him.

"Well, I didn't dare to close my eyes all night when I grabbed it, and I was very sleepy a few times, and I woke up at the thought that I would be eaten by this vicious dog when I took a nap."

Looking at Ergou's dark circles and messy hair and clothes, thinking about the way he fought with the vicious dog in the kennel, Le Yi felt funny and sad.

After listening to this, Li Yuan admired this thief for a while, and the perseverance he showed was definitely not something that ordinary people could do. There must be something in this person's heart that he wants to protect. With this perseverance and determination, no matter what you do, you will succeed in everything you do.

"How did it come out in the end?" Le Yi asked Ergou.

"Around dawn, the prince sneaked out the back door, and the patrol followed. I cautiously came out of the kennel and ran out, almost dropping something down. Thankfully, I remembered! Ergou touched the thing he was holding in his arms and smirked.

Le Yi and Li Yuan remembered that he said that it was the prince's thing, so they asked him, "How did you know that person was the prince?" ”

"I heard the young lady of that family call him the prince when she sent him, and I really heard it." Ergou said firmly.

Li Yuan looked thoughtfully at the things in Ergou's arms.

"Don't beat them!" The second dog hugged the things in his arms tighter.

"Hahaha, I didn't have the idea of hitting them, don't worry." Li Yuan said and laughed heartily.

"Li Gongzi is thinking about what to do with these things of yours, if you are not careful, you will lose your head." Le Yi said to Ergou, in fact, she didn't know what Li Yuan was thinking, she just hoped that Li Yuan could help Ergou solve these things. ”

"Oh, then I'll rest assured, let's go find Man'er and Ziyi!" Ergou said.
