I opened my eyes and shouted, "Where is the thief?" Where is the thief? ”

Ouyang Deyuan chased to the door with the candlestick, but the thief was nowhere to be found.

Fearing that I would be in danger, he immediately turned around and went back to the bedside.

I grabbed him and asked, "Did a thief come just now?" ”

He pointed to a red and bright flower on the table and said, "Yes, it's not an ordinary thief, it's a famous thief in the rivers and lakes." ”

I've heard of him, too, because the storytellers in the teahouse and tavern like to talk about these thieves.

But isn't he a good thief who robs the rich and helps the poor? Why did it steal from us?

Oh, we're rich now, and there's nothing wrong with him robbing us and giving to the poor.

After figuring it out like this, I smiled and said, "Hehe, anyway, what we have in our family is silver taels, so let's steal some of them, and in the end he will also share them with the poor." ”

Ouyang Deyuan spread his hands and said, "I don't plan to care, I'm going to chase after you, but I'm worried that you will be angry." ”

Oh? I looked at him wonderingly, and said, "Why am I angry?" Am I like a sullen person for a few small bucks? ”

Ouyang Deyuan sat next to me and said, "Hehe, who said that he stole the silver taels, are you still touching the Qingluan whip at the head of your bed?" ”

Yes? I was so shocked that I immediately took the candlestick and went to find the Qingluan whip I had placed at the head of the bed, and I was a treasure that I could not leave for a moment.

But I can't find it, oops, I'm so angry in my heart, this damn flower. What are you stealing, why did you steal my Qingluan whip?

This is my only weapon, what can you do if you steal me?

I stood there angrily and stomped my feet, almost scolding.

Ouyang Deyuan comforted me and said, "Lady, don't be angry, early tomorrow morning, we will go to find this flower, I know where he will go to sell the stolen goods." ”

After daylight, Ouyang Deyuan took me to an inn, which had an unusual place. That is, there is a signboard hanging at the entrance of the inn.

And there was actually a string of copper coins hanging at the door of this inn.

Ouyang Deyuan told me: "If you hang up the copper coin, it means that this inn is a place to collect dirt and sell stolen goods." All the thieves in the neighborhood will come here to exchange the stolen goods in their hands for silver taels, and Yihua is no exception. ”

"Then let's go in quickly, I don't want my Qingluan whip to be sold by him." I hurried into the inn and found a prominent seat to sit down.

I beckoned to a guy who was running the hall, and he came running around.

"What do you want to eat? We have steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, roasted pig, roasted duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower, tripe, sauced meat, sausage, assorted pastry plate, ......"

I raised my arm and broke him.

"Alright. Come on. I don't think you should be a runner. You should be a storyteller, you must make more money than you are now, don't report the name of the dish. I'll ask you something. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, he said with a look of embarrassment: "Hehe, look at what you said, I am the young man who ran the hall, what can I know?" ”

Ouyang Deyuan smiled faintly, took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

He immediately put on a smiling face as if he had seen his father.

"Hehe, if there is anything about the guest officer, you just ask, I know everything and say everything."

He picked up the silver and put it in his mouth and took a bite, oops, the best silver, these two people are really generous.

If there were a few more such guests, it wouldn't be long before he would be able to open his own inn.

Then you don't have to suffer from the idleness of the miser's shopkeeper.

I lowered my voice and said, "Has the thief ever been here?" ”

The guy who ran the hall was stunned for a moment, and immediately lowered his body a little and said, "It turns out that you are here to find him, and you have come here, but unfortunately he has just been gone for less than half an hour." ”

And he missed? I glanced at Ouyang Deyuan depressedly, alas, I was still a step too late.

Ouyang Deyuan asked the guy who ran to the hall: "Then did he sell a whip, which is a python skin?" ”

He's talking about my beloved Qingluan whip.

The guy who ran the hall remembered that in the morning a flower brought some jewelry, and he didn't see any whips.

"No, he was selling some jewelry, and he didn't see the whip."

When I heard him reply, I immediately understood that this flower had not yet sold my Qingluan whip.

"Do you know where a flower is located?" I asked.

The guy immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Yizhihua is a well-known thief, if he tells his hiding place, then he will come to himself to settle the account, which is not a good thing to eat for a tael of silver to buy medicine.

This guy is a smart man.

I understood his thoughts, and glanced at Ouyang Deyuan.

He took a gold ingot, from his sleeve.

"Wow...... Ten...... Ten taels of gold, this, is this really for me? He couldn't wait to take the gold, and his eyes were straight.

Obediently, this doesn't take next year, I have enough money to open a small inn now.

He was holding the gold, and the saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

I coughed heavily.

He wiped his saliva and said, "Hehe, I really don't know where Yizhihua lives, but I know that he goes to Donglai Shun Gambling House every day to gamble a few hands." ”

Donglai Shun Gambling House? I know this, I've opened a gambling house before, so I'm still familiar with that place.

Ouyang Deyuan and I stood up and walked towards the gambling house.

I hope I can catch this pesky flower this time and take back my Qingluan whip.

Donglaishun gambling hall is crowded, today a branch of the flower is very lucky, in front of the dice game he won three in a row.

At this moment, there was a large pile of silver taels in front of him, and the dealer's face was almost green when he lost.

"Hey, I said you should bet quickly." The dice shaker shouted at him.

Yizhihua held the grass spike in his mouth and said slowly: "What's the hurry, hehe, hurry to send the silver to your uncle and me?" ”

"Hmph, a flower, don't be complacent, it's already opened three small ones in a row, and you have the ability to buy small ones." The dealer said unconvinced.

Yizhihua knew that the other party was provoking himself, but he was willing to fight with the dealer.

So he said loudly: "Hehe, uncle, what I have is silver, I still buy this small, you can shake it." ”

The banker's dice shaker held the dice bell and shook it vigorously, he has lost three times, and this one will lose to a flower, and today will be lost.

So he was more nervous than anyone else, and the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down drop by drop.

"Buy and leave, buy and leave, let's go!" He wiped his sweat, opened the dice clock and shouted: "Six-six-six, leopard, kill!" ”

Yizhihua watched the large pile of silver he won back and suddenly lost it back, and he was angry that he was overturned.

He grabbed the dice shaker by the collar and said, "Hmph, you guy must be out of the woods!" ”

This dice shaker is not happy, just now this branch of the flower won so much money, he has not said that he is out of a thousand, now he finally shook out a leopard, he actually dared to say that he is out of a thousand.

The anger in his heart also burned instantly.

He pushed a sprig of flowers hard and shouted, "Let go!" Hey, I've already seen it, you're here to make trouble, come on, help me loosen his muscles! ”

Every casino has a group of thugs, and this Donglaishun is no exception.

As soon as he heard that someone was coming to make trouble, more than two dozen strong men rushed out at once.
