It was dusk when Qiao Yiling first arrived in Linshan, and when Xiao Er led her upstairs, he specially instructed: "Guest officer, you are a foreign visitor, but you must take care of your luggage, it has not been peaceful recently."

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yiling was not panicked, but was a little excited and expectant.

"Alas!" Xiao Er looked around for a moment and whispered: "Recently, several large families in the county have been stolen, and occasionally small households and long-distance merchants have been stolen, which makes people panic, so the girl should be careful."

"What about the government office, didn't you arrest it?"

"Lin Zhutou in the county government has been sent to escort a group of prisoners to Beijing, and the rest will only bluff people. And this snitch is cunning, always elusive, and it is difficult to find a trace. The reward list issued by the county lord has not been revealed so far, which is really annoying. Xiao Er looked depressed: "Guest officer, be careful yourself, I'll go down to greet you first."

Qiao Yiling couldn't be idle now, and after settling down in the room, she couldn't wait to walk around, and inadvertently walked around the county office, and saw the list of Xiao Er's pursuit of the flying thief on the notice list, and offered a reward of five hundred taels, she couldn't help but be moved: This is a good opportunity to eliminate violence and peace, and she can also earn some silver.

So she tore off the list and took over the task. No one around saw it, Qiao Yiling was secretly glad that she didn't want to cause trouble in vain and fall short......

Qiao Yiling wandered around and inquired about the place where it was stolen before, and she also went to buy a night dress.

That night, she changed into this outfit and went to patrol the vicinity of the theft site, trying to try her luck and run into the thief, but to no avail, she had to go back to the inn to make another plan.

The next day, the yacha hurriedly reported to the county magistrate that someone had taken over this difficult case, but he did not report it to the yamen. Although the county master was full of doubts, he thought that it would be good for someone to be willing to take it, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, in the blink of an eye, there was a messenger to report that other places had been stolen, and the county lord recovered his bitter face and went to investigate the scene.

When Qiao Yiling rushed over, he took the opportunity to find out the background of the big thief, and there was no great evil. Qiao Yiling thought to himself that this thief was not a hero, but just for his own selfish desires, which was really hateful, and he was even more determined to take down the name of this snitch.

Qiao Yiling carefully pondered the methods of this snitch, and found that he had no rules, and he repeatedly committed crimes when he rose, and the thieves were not all big families, but also idlers in the market.

Qiao Yiling's mind was in a predicament, and he was upset, so he pushed the window and stood.

At this time, the night will stop, and the cool breeze will hit people. Qiao Yiling took a deep breath and settled down, picked up the flute and went for a walk on the long street.

It should also be a coincidence, or Qiao Yiling's chance.

When Qiao Yiling walked across the bridge, he saw a roadside vendor who had gone to report the crime not long ago, and he was happily walking towards the Xieyang Pavilion. The pavilion was densely covered with weeping willows, blocking the view, Qiao Yiling's heart moved, and he followed behind, and followed to find out.

Unexpectedly, this vendor turned out to be an obscene embryo, and it turned out that he was busy going to the Spring Festival Pavilion to drink flower wine.

Qiao Yiling is now wearing women's clothes, and she is not easy to show, so she has to wait outside.

Qiao Yiling paced back to the Xieyang Pavilion and waited, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. It is not easy for a hawker to make a living, and it is rare to have some savings, so how can he have spare money to drink flower wine? What's more, he took his wife to report the theft at home a few days ago, and life should be worse at the moment, but he seems to be unhindered, and he secretly comes to spend all day drinking. With all this, Qiao Yiling expected that the hawker had a ghost in his heart.

Qiao Yiling leaned on the railing and blew the cool breeze for a while, and then went back first.

After going back, Qiao Yiling estimated the time, she thought that the vendor would not dare to stay overnight in the Spring Festival Pavilion, because she had seen his wife's fierceness when she went to investigate.

So he changed into night clothes and went out of the window, picked a secluded place and rushed to the vicinity of the path that the hawker had to pass to go home, and flew up to the tree to keep an eye on it.

Sure enough, I soon saw the hawker walking half-drunk and half-conscious. When the hawker approached, Qiao Yiling jumped down, strangled his neck against the tree with one hand, and drew his sword in a threatening gesture with the other.

The hawker woke up in fright, and hurriedly prayed: "Hero's life!" Heroes spare their lives! The villain is poor and has no money. ”

"Humph! If you don't have money, you dare to drink flower wine, and if you don't have money, you dare to wronged me for stealing your silver! Qiao Yiling deliberately raised his voice and handed the sword closer to scare him.

The peddler was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he begged again and again: "It's the villain's fault, I deserve to die!" But hero, the villain really didn't wronged you! The peddler's voice trembled faintly.

"Dare to lie!" Qiao Yiling made a gesture to wipe his neck.

"Don't! Swordsman... Daxia, you did take away a bag of broken silver from me in the Spring Festival Pavilion, have you forgotten? The peddler's voice trembled even more.

"Oh? Then why did you wronged me for stealing your wealth? Say! Qiao Yiling was secretly happy in her heart, she guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, and the hawker really had something to hide.

"I, I'm ......" the vendor stammered, and Qiao Yiling stared at him angrily.

"Hero, please let me go, the villain was fascinated for a while, and after you stole the silver, he had a plan, hid his family savings, and put the crime on you." The peddler winced and told the truth.

Qiao Yiling had a rough idea in his heart, and kicked the vendor to the ground, and then said angrily to him: "Although your wife is not gentle enough, she is diligent and thrifty for you, and you are free to steal your savings for fun, are you worthy of her?"

The peddler didn't expect that the thief was pursuing this incident, and suddenly caught the vitality: "I don't dare anymore, hero, I'll change, I'll change!"

Qiao Yiling didn't believe that he woke up so quickly, gritted his teeth ruthlessly, grabbed one of his wrists, and broke it back. The peddler's hands were instantly dislocated, and he grinned in pain and wailed on the ground.

Qiao Yiling wanted to make him have a long memory, and took advantage of the situation to threaten: "I'll spare you again, if you dare to spend all your time drinking and losing your wife, next time it will be your life!" Also, you don't have to withdraw the case, but the money must be returned to your wife. After Qiao Yiling finished speaking, he flew away.

After Qiao Yiling went back, he carefully recalled the hawker's words and sorted out the general outline of the incident: "The snitch also went to the Spring Festival Pavilion and took away the hawker's silver, will it prove that he stole it to be generous and have endless pleasure?"

Qiao Yiling thought again: "He doesn't have the guts to be a flower thief, so it can be seen that he is not very obsessed with women." Is that a good bet? Or is it a gamble?"

With these guesses, Qiao Yiling can be regarded as breaking through the predicament, happy in his heart, and feeling a sense of accomplishment.

The next day, in order not to attract attention, Qiao Yiling deliberately dressed up as an ordinary person, dressed in men's clothes, and went to the most famous gambling house in the county to investigate.

She estimated the temperament of this snitch, and she should spend money generously, and she likes to play with big stakes, so she pays special attention to gamblers who are generous.

But after watching it for a long time, there was nothing unusual, there were not a few generous people in the gambling hall, Qiao Yiling had to seriously analyze their gambling situation for the time being, and brake quietly.

After one of the tables with the worst luck left, Qiao Yiling followed behind to watch him move, but he didn't get anything, this person was just a stingy little merchant.

After two days, Qiao Yiling still made no progress, but she still waited patiently.

In addition, Qiao Yiling noticed that it had been peaceful in the county for two days.
