Chapter 44: One after the other

Yuwen Si glanced at Zuo Anming and said, "Please take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to make a record." ”

The tall and thin thief looked directly at Yu Wensi and whispered; "My name is Mo Yanyu, Turkic clan, in fact, I am not a thief, just a thief, entrusted by someone to go to Youlan Academy to steal a book of martial arts secrets of "Qi Hai", I didn't expect that the book just got in my hands but was taken away by a person behind me, I immediately turned around and grabbed his clothes, chased him outside the wall and beat him, the book was not taken back, his martial arts are much stronger than mine, the book has been in hand and flew away. I was not reconciled, and chased after me, but instead he grabbed me as a thief and tied me to the pillar. Then I went to find another thief, the one behind me, whom I didn't know, just by chance. If you don't believe him, ask him! ”

Yu Wensi turned to stare at the other thief and asked, "Do you two really not know each other?" You introduce yourself. ”

The slightly chubby thief continued: "I really don't know him, but the things he stole coincided." It's just that what I want is the martial arts cheats of "Wuyuan", and I just stole it in my hand, but I was robbed by the master behind me. When I turned around and wanted to snatch the book back, he grabbed me instead, and twisted the two of us together with a rope to Pingjiang Prefecture, shouting several times and no one answered, he seemed to be in a hurry to do something, so he let us go, but I didn't expect to be seen by adults and arrested again. ”

Yu Wensi looked up and down this person, and asked loudly, "What is your name and where are you from?" What kind of industry do you usually work in? Look, your fingers and palms are not mediocre, you should recruit them from the truth! ”

The fat god thief squirmed and said: "My name is Han Zhongqui, Tiele Ren, you have seen my hands, you should be able to guess what kind of profession you do." ”

Yu Wensi carefully examined the two of them, and said solemnly: "The former Mo Yanyu is a real thief, and you should be a martial arts master, there are traces of long-term sword holding in the fingers and palms, the calluses are kept, and there are old and new injuries, which sect are you a disciple?" Who is it for now? ”

Han Zhongqui shook his head and sighed shortly; "If I can't complete the task, he won't accept me as a disciple, at that time he asked me to steal a martial arts cheats "Wu Yuan", if I can successfully complete the task, he got "Wu Yuan", and officially accepted me as a disciple, if I can't complete it, tell me not to go back, now I am homeless. I am an orphan, my hometown is in the northwest, my father and my brothers and sisters died in the war, I was rescued by the master, taught me some martial arts to protect myself, but later because I found that I was not smart, a little lazy, slow progress in learning, and the new disciples are more specialized than me, hard and diligent study of martial arts, he did not want to officially accept me as an apprentice, asked me to do housework and cook chores, I was unwilling. He made a strict request to me, if I could steal the "Martial Garden" and give it to him, I would be able to become his introductory disciple. Now that the books have been taken away by that thief, I have no face to go back, if you don't dislike me, I can be your errand, or do chores and cook, I cook a good dish, and I have exercised it at the master's house. If you don't believe it, I can cook and show you a taste at noon, how about it? ”

Yu Wensi glared angrily: "What kind of place is this, can a stranger of unknown origin be allowed to enter?" Nonsense, hand over the books quickly, or the punishment for imprisoning you or sending you to war at the border will be the lightest punishment. The crime of theft was a very serious crime in our Tang Dynasty, and the punishment was quite severe. Those who enter people's homes at night without reason are either rape or theft, either rape or theft, all are serious crimes, and they can be killed, and they are not guilty, and the court does not hesitate to use the strongest punishment to protect the safety of the family. What you are stealing is a book now, and whether you can be sentenced to a penalty depends on your attitude. If I had given the order, I would have cut off your hand at once. ”

Zuo Anming, who was standing on the side, interrupted: "You are from the distant border, how do you know that there are these two martial arts secret books in the Youlan Academy in Qionglong City?" There must be something strange in this, you are not telling the truth, and you have a lot of kung fu, if you don't confess honestly, send the most war-torn Nanzhao border, throw your head for the imperial court, bask in blood, and make war achievements. ”

Han Zhongli hurriedly said: "I'm homeless anyway, as long as I don't get imprisoned, don't cut off my head and hands, and send me to the border to fight." It's just that my background is strong enough, and if the truth is revealed, you may not dare to offend the nobles and send me to the frontier. ”

Yu Wensi was furious when he heard this, and glared at him angrily, "Didn't you say that you were an orphan? Didn't you say that the books were not stolen, and the master told you not to go back, where did you get the strong background? I'm not intimidated, please let me know. ”

Han Zhongquan was not to be outdone, glared at Yu Wensi angrily and said: "What I just said is right, but I have a dear aunt's Da Linglang who is an official in the imperial court, I don't know what kind of official it is, my aunt told me before she died, if I encounter any difficulties, I can go to my cousin for help, and don't bother him usually." ”

Yu Wensi saw that his attitude did not look like lying, and asked reluctantly: "Report your name, I want to verify the authenticity and find out if you are fooling the official." ”

Han Zhongquan hurriedly said: "If I tell his real name, you may be scared to the core." ”

Yu Wensi was even more surprised, and roared loudly: "Since you have such a background, why do you want to be a thief instead of asking your cousin to get an official and a half-official position?" ”

Zuo Anming, who was standing behind him, hurriedly pulled Yuwensi to a corner, and muttered in his ear: "Looking at his expression, it doesn't look like lying, more things are better than less things, if he refuses to tell his cousin's name, he will be sent to the border." ”

Yu Wensi pondered for a moment and said loudly, "Han Zhongquinoa, report your cousin's name." ”

Han Zhongli hesitated for a moment, glared at Yu Wensi and said, "His name is Qian Xuanxuan, Zuo Qianniuwei, and he is the emperor's internal guard. I have never seen my cousin, and my aunt said that he was more than eight feet tall, and that he was a talent, mighty and handsome, and that he was always on duty in the palace, and that he was a good warrior, and that he was a well-chosen warrior with neat equipment. It is also said that Qianniuwei belongs to the forbidden army and does not control the government soldiers. In charge of the bow and arrows and the attendants of the guards, he is not only responsible for the safety of the emperor, but also in charge of the sword 'Thousand Cow Knife'. Later, I heard that the emperor named him a general, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Chang'an Palace to investigate. ”

After listening to his words, Yu Wensi pondered that his expression didn't seem to be lying, Lin Chenxuan's Linglang Lin Juntian was in the right Qianniu Guard, and he was in the left Qianniu Guard, and the left and right Qianniu Wei were two of the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya of the Tang Dynasty. This Han Zhongqui is right, is there really a person named Qian Xuanxuan?

Zuo Anming, who was on the side, saw that Yu Wensi was deep in thought, and hurriedly approached him and whispered: "Ask Lin Juntian to know if he lied, I'll go to Lin Langzhong's house, how about it?" ”

Yu Wensi whispered: "Lin Juntian and I Linglang went to the top of Qionglong Mountain to find Zhang Jianshuo and Zhang Changqing in the morning. You either ride a horse to chase after them, it's still too late, here is called Hua Jingjun and Miao Sheng Xiao, who is the judge, as well as Guang Changle and Gu Yuemin and others watched, and after I interrogated Mo Yanyu, I went to Youlan Academy. ”

"Okay, Hua Jingjun and they are here, I'll set off to chase them." Zuo Anming immediately stepped out of the gate and went to the stable.

Yu Wensi stared at Han Zhongqu and said, "What you said needs to be further verified, so sit aside and wait for the time being." Hua Jingjun, where did Mo Yanyu go? You have brought him to me. ”

Hua Jingjun said loudly: "Gu Yuemin took him to relieve him, and he will come in a while." ”

As soon as his words fell, Gu Yuemin hurriedly ran over and said, "Oh no, that thief escaped over the wall, what should I do?" ”

Yu Wensi roared angrily: "What else can I do? How did he climb over the wall with a rope tied? How far can you escape? Hua Jingjun, you take Si Shilang Yiqiu, as well as Si Bing Yan Wuxian and others to catch up. ”

Hua Jingjun hurriedly gathered five people and chased them out.

Gu Yuemin hurriedly turned back to the toilet to look for it, and suddenly heard the sound of crickets outside the wall, and hurriedly stretched out her legs to climb the pine tree at the foot of the wall to look out, and was stunned, and hurriedly climbed down the tree and ran towards the lobby.

Yu Wensi asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" Look at the way you are frightened, your face is blue, is that thief who fell over the wall and died? ”

Gu Yuemin was speechless, and hurriedly grabbed Yu Wensi's hand and walked around the lobby towards the outside of the toilet wall. Suddenly, he saw the thief Mo Yanyu touching a green dragon sword, and a crow nine sword was placed next to it, so he grabbed his hands and asked, "Your hands are tied together, how do you untie the rope and climb over the wall, can you fly?" Will you do it lightly? Where did you steal these two swords in your hand, and what swords do you know? ”

Mo Yanyu looked at Yu Wensi and said, "It seems that I can't escape?" Take me back to the lobby and confess to you. ”

Mo Yanyu returned to the lobby and sat down, Yu Wensi took a pen and paper and said, "It seems that you are not an ordinary thief, maybe you have the same background as Han Zhongquinoa!" Sensei is wasting time, so get it from the truth. ”

Mo Yanyu looked at Yu Wensi and said in a low voice: "I am the cousin of a famous general of the current dynasty, a native of the Western Turkic Shatuo Division. His surname is Zhu Xie, his alias is Hin'er, and Mo Yanyu is a nickname taken by others. Since the real god had stolen a lot of the money I had with me, and there was only a little money left for my living expenses, I thought about stealing two bows. But the pawnshop warehouse is like a bunker, there is no way to steal it out, so in the middle of the night, when everything is silent, climb over the wall into the master's bedroom to look for the warehouse key, but no matter what key can not be found, open the door of a cellar, but found these two swords, I don't know what kind of sword, so I brought it out, put it in a coarse cloth bag, surveyed the geographical location of this official office, found that there is a high wall on the grass outside the toilet wall, and there is a tall and lush cypress tree blocking the sky and people's vision, Thinking that I could bury the sword for a while, I dug a hole in the ground under the roots of the tree at the foot of the wall and placed the two swords there. I flew out with light power just now, but I didn't expect the rope to be broken. I thought I would wait for night to fall before I found a chance to escape. But I didn't expect that the kung fu would be discovered by the adults after a while, and I had no choice but to confess to you. How about you please raise your noble hands and take a light hair, and it is better to punish me with a little silver and two taels and put me back? ”
