Just when Mo Qingshu and Xiao Yuanqi were talking happily, they saw the housekeeper running in a hurry, saluted Mo Qingshu, and then said, "Miss, there is a thief in the house." ”

"Thief?" Mo Qingshu bent her eyebrows, why is this house so lively today, but when she just arrived in the imperial capital, there are so many things, as if these things are pinched together.

"Did you catch that?"

Uncle Fu nodded slightly: "Yes, I have already caught it, just wait for Miss to send it." ”

"Then bring him up." Mo Qingshu said, just wanting to see who the little thief was.

Uncle Fu nodded, withdrew, and after a while, he came over with a family member and a young man. The boy grabbed him by the back collar roughly, as if to lift him up, and the boy struggled and said, "Let go of me, let go of me." ”

But the family didn't listen to him, and just followed Uncle Fu to Qingshu.

"That's him." Uncle Fu pointed at the young man.

Mo Qingshu and Xiao Yuanqi looked at the young man, only to see that the young man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, with several puddings on his body, and a pair of rag shoes were also smooth, and the shoes were stained with mud, and mud marks were made on the ground. A face stained with ash, but it couldn't hide his bright eyes, as if they were filled with stars.

Hearing Uncle Fu's words testifying against him, the young man's eyes slanted to Uncle Fu's side unconvinced, and he said in a straight voice: "What is, I am not." ”

Uncle Fu didn't entangle with him much, didn't pay attention to his words, and just silently handed the incriminating evidence to Mo Qingshu.

"That's mine, don't move." Seeing that his things were taken away by Mo Qingshu, the young man hurriedly shouted, wanting to rush up to get it, but he was dragged by someone and couldn't move, so he could only look at Mo Qingshu anxiously.

Mo Qingshu looked at the thing that Uncle Fu handed over, it was just a money bag, it looked a little exquisite, but it was worthless, and the color on it was much lighter, and it looked like it had been used for a long time. After checking it a little, it seems that there are only dozens of copper plates, and there are nothing valuable.

These copper plates were not worth much to her, and if they were gone, they would be gone, but she wondered what had caused him to go to such great lengths to steal them, and why he didn't steal more valuable things.

"This thing is yours?" Mo Qingshu asked.

"Of course it's mine, give it back to me." The young man said, stretching out his hand to get the money bag back.

Qingshu didn't give it to him, just put the money bag on the table and asked, "You said it's yours, so how can you prove it?" ”

Who knew that the young man raised his head and said confidently: "What is mine is mine, why do you need to prove it?" Aren't you unable to prove that it's not mine, just as you can't prove that everything in this house is yours. ”

What the young man said made Qingshu a little interested, hooked the corners of his mouth, and looked at him with a smile in the corners of his eyes: "Although I can't prove that everything here is mine, but I have the title deed of this house, and you, what's there?" ”

Hearing this, the young man pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully, "It's just a title deed, see when I steal it." ”

Except for Xiao Wu here, the ears of the others are very good, even if the young man's voice is small, it still falls into the ears of Sheng Xiao, hearing the young man's disrespectful words, Sheng Xiao is about to do it, teach this kid a good lesson, but was stopped by Mo Qingshu.

Mo Qingshu said with a smile: "If you can steal the title deed of the house, give it to you." But before you do that, you have to hand over what you stole first. ”

Sheng Xiao and Xiao Yuanqi, who heard Mo Qingshu's words, looked at her incredulously, and couldn't believe that she would agree to give the title deed of the house to this thief.

"Really? If I get the title deed, you will give me this house and not regret it? ”

Mo Qingshu nodded: "No regrets." But first, take out what you took from me. ”

Mo Qingshu said that he would not regret it, and the young man's eyes showed a light of successful trickery, and when he heard Mo Qingshu's words, he knew that he was still suspected, and the young man was a little angry: "You still don't believe me, I said that if I didn't take it, I didn't take it." With that, the boy clasped his hands on his chest and turned his face to the side, anger flowing between his eyebrows.

However, although he was like this on his face, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't think that Mo Qingshu and them could find what they had taken, even if they knew, they would not be able to get it back from their hands anyway.

"Lying." Mo Qingshu said suddenly, looking at him with sharp eyes, as if he had pierced some lie, and the young man was a little weak-hearted, even Xiao Yuanqi looked at her, how could a person who was still kind and pleasant suddenly change his face.

"From the very beginning, you were diverting our attention. That's right, the money bag, including the money inside, is yours, but what you take is not the money bag, is it? If I'm right, what you're holding is in your sleeve. After Mo Qingshu finished speaking, the family subdued him and didn't let him move.

Just as Jiading was about to take out what he had hidden in his sleeve, the young man suddenly broke free from Jiading's hands and jumped far away, but Mo Qingshu kept their distance.

"It's a shame to be found out so quickly." The young man said with a smile, revealing two tiger teeth, and his eyes were full of cunning. Who would have thought that such a cute boy who is harmless to humans and animals turned out to be a thief, and a cunning thief.

The young man took out something that had been hidden in his sleeve, shook it, and said indifferently, "That's what you're talking about?" ”

Mo Qingshu saw clearly, it was a flute, a flute with a black body, not an ordinary bamboo flute, but a flute made of precious black jade.

"That's right, that's what I took." The boy didn't quibble, and now that he had been discovered, there was no need to cover it up.

"I'm quite capable." Mo Qingshu praised that this house seems to be ordinary, but in fact, it is densely packed, especially around the walled courtyard, and if you are not careful, you will be in a different place. But this young man not only entered the house safely, but also took away a flute, but at the age of eleven or twelve, it is rare to have such a ability.

Hearing Mo Qingshu's praise, the young man smiled, revealing two tiger teeth, and his eyes flashed with pride.

"That is, after all, I'm called a thief, if I don't have the ability, how can I afford this name?"

Xiao Yuanqi also chuckled: "Then why haven't I heard of your name?" ”

Originally, he wanted to hit the young man's self-confidence, but the young man glanced at him disdainfully: "How can a rich and noble family like you know about civil affairs." ”

Xiao Yuanqi choked and couldn't speak. He really doesn't know much about folk things, he can only be regarded as a little heard, looking at this young man's clothes, he thinks he is a child of a poor family, no wonder he will say that he doesn't know about folk things.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the young man casually turned the flute in his hand and said, "I will take this flute first, and when I find a new one, I will return it to you." ”

After speaking, he jumped and picked up the wall, and was about to leave. When Sheng Xiao saw this, he wanted to stop it. As soon as the sheng flute jumped out, he saw the young man sly smile, put the flute horizontally in front of him, and blew out a few tones.

Sheng Xiao didn't know what he was going to do, so he just wanted to capture him first, but he saw that many birds appeared behind the young man at some point, and his eyes looked directly at Sheng Xiao, fluttering his wings, and rushed towards Sheng Xiao to attack her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sheng Xiao drew the sword wrapped around his waist and slashed the birds, but he still couldn't move an inch. Stepping on the back of a bird, he spun in the air and returned to the ground, unable to catch up again. When the birds saw the flute retreat to the ground, they stopped attacking her, but they did not leave, but they just watched her in mid-air, and if she made the slightest movement, they would attack her in groups.

"You can control the birds?" Mo Qingshu was slightly surprised, there was something else she didn't know about this young man.

"That's nature, I'm born to control birds." As he spoke, as if to verify what he had said, the boy raised his right hand, and sure enough, a white bird stopped on his index finger, and he was not afraid of him, so he pecked at his hand. Then, with a slight movement of his fingers, as if he knew what he meant, the white bird that had stopped on his hand spread its wings and flew away from his hand.

The young man still wanted to say something to Qingshu and them, but he didn't know what he heard, looked at them, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "I won't tell you, I'll go, and the flute will be taken first." After speaking, he jumped off the wall with a flute in his hand, and there was no one. When the birds saw him leave, they flew away.

"This boy is funny." Seeing the young man leaving, Xiao Yuan said, feeling a little interested in this young man.

"Indeed." Mo Qingshu nodded. Turning his head, he saw Sheng Xiao's unhappy face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Sheng Xiao was still angry about Fang Cai's matter, and couldn't believe that he would be put on the table by such a little boy, and when he heard Mo Qingshu's words, Sheng Xiao said, "Miss, I will definitely catch him next time." ”

Mo Qingshu heard this and shook her head: "There's no need for this." "It's just a flute, and it's of no use to her, and since the boy likes it, and has a place in his hand, it's better to give it to him." It's just that Sheng Xiao's temperament has to be changed.

Xiao Yuanqi saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said "goodbye" and left with Xiao Wu.

"Uncle Fu, go and inquire who that young man was just now." Mo Qingshu said, Uncle Fu replied "yes", and stepped back.

"Young master, young master, what is the origin of that kid just now, why is he so powerful, he can actually control birds, and he blows with a flute, which is really amazing." Xiao Wu said excitedly, and almost danced and jumped.

Xiao Yuanqi glanced at him: "How do I know what is going on." If he had known, he would have sent for him.

"That's right." Xiao Wu said regretfully, he still wants to go to him to learn the ability to control birds, so that he can show off in front of others.

Xiao Yuanqi is also full of regrets, such a powerful character, why didn't he find out earlier, is it really that he knows too little about folk affairs? Xiao Yuanqi thought about it, touching his chin, it seems that he wants to go to the folk to experience it, maybe there will be some adventures.
