(Thank you for the 200 coin reward of half a lifetime of rhapsody~)

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

said that Ning Xiu, Qi Ling'er, and Tao Chun converged, and the expressions of the three of them were all embarrassment with a capital letter.

The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that Taochun's money bag was not stolen, otherwise the three of them would really have to sleep in the open.

With only fifteen taels of silver in total, they could naturally only live in a poor-grade inn.

There are people from all walks of life in this kind of inn, and the environment is not good. Ning Xiu asked for a three-person room, and Tao Chun was still a little unhappy, but when he thought that there was not much money left, and they still had several days to go, he recognized it.

Fortunately, there were three beds in the room, so at least they didn't have to worry about where to sleep.

After a day of tossing, the three of them fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and Ning Xiu woke up at dawn the next day.

He was wondering what to do next.

Judging from yesterday's situation, they should have been targeted by this gang of thieves as soon as they came to Xun'an Town, but this gang of thieves was very tolerant and waited until the three of them walked together before they started. After that, he cleverly divided, created conflicts and fished in troubled waters, and it was obvious that he was a veteran connoisseur.

If it was in Jingzhou, Ning Xiu would definitely report to the official directly. But now that he is in Xiangyang, he is using a fake identity, and if he reports to the official, he will cause a lot of trouble.

But if you don't report to the official, forget it, Ning Xiu can't swallow this breath again.

Just when he was depressed, Qi Linger and Tao Chun woke up one after another.

"Friend Chen, are you still worried about being stolen?"

"Huh? Brother Tao, are you awake? ”

Ning Xiu was taken aback, turned around and said with a wry smile: "Of course, it takes several months for a businessman like us to make some hard-earned money. Now that the hard-earned money is gone, not to mention, even the capital has been stolen, and this time I will not be counted by my family. ”

The corners of Qi Ling'er's mouth were slightly hooked, and she said very sympathetically: "When you take me to Jingzhou to find Ning Xiu, I will give you the money to lead the way to a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Brother Tao only has fifteen taels in his hand, how can he afford one hundred taels?"

"Now there is none, but the debt will be collected."

Ning Xiu: "......"

In fact, what Qi Ling'er wanted was to find the Zhang family and borrow a few hundred taels of silver. Based on the relationship between the Qi and Zhang families, it is a few hundred taels or thousands of taels, and they will definitely be able to borrow.

"Perhaps, we can tempt them to take the bait."

Ning Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Thieves are all greedy, do you think they won't be tempted if we show our flaws?" ”

Tao Chun, who was in a half-asleep state, heard that Ning Xiu wanted to tempt the thief to strike again, and he subconsciously clenched his money bag.

"Hey, you're not really going to set up a trick to trick them into taking the bait, are you? We've got fifteen taels left. ”

"Don't worry, my bait is not your fifteen taels of silver...... If you eat mine, you have to spit it out for me, and if you want to take the money and slip away, it's no fun! ”

Ning Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as you follow my plan, I promise that you will be able to capture this group of thieves." ”

"Okay, I'd like to hear about Friend Chen's plan."

Qi Ling'er was obviously very excited, and completely regarded this as a game.

Tao Chun was helpless, so he nodded and said, "Childe is willing, and I am naturally willing." ”

"Then you don't come here with your ears?"

......

......

After Ning Xiu left the inn, he went straight to the car shop.

Du Laohan had already repaired the wheel spokes as agreed, and returned the carriage to Ning Xiu after receiving a penny of silver for the manual fee.

Ning Xiu did not drive the carriage back to the inn, but went to the only pawnshop in Xun'an Town.

He entered the pawnshop for about a stick of incense, and then came out with a black package. He put the package in the carriage and drove the wagon down the street, shopping for goods.

After that, he drove the carriage back to the inn, picked up Qi Ling'er and Taochun and went to the restaurant for lunch together, and the carriage naturally stopped next to the restaurant.

All of this was seen by Ling Guo'er and Huzi. In fact, they have been secretly watching for an opportunity to continue to attack.

Now it seems that they have finally waited for the opportunity, and the things in that carriage are much more attractive than a few dozen taels of silver.

The group of three all went to the restaurant for lunch, and they had half an hour to steal the carriage.

The carriage was tied to a bolted horse post in front of the restaurant, and the rope needed to be cut with a sharp blade.

Walking over directly with a knife was too conspicuous, and Ling Guo'er was ready to act in a scene.

He threw a knife at Huzi and glanced at him, and Huzi immediately understood, cursed loudly and slashed at Ling Guo'er.

"Help, help."

Ling Guo'er ran away, and Huzi followed closely.

From an outsider's point of view, this is clearly a street gangster who is more ruthless than a brave fight. One side pulled out a knife and tried desperately, and the other side was scared and ran away. Hey, looks like there's a good show going on.

They stopped to watch, and some of the good things even bet on who would win.

Gangsters like this fight on the streets are a daily occurrence, and the people of Xun'an Town have come to regard them as the spice of boring life.

The two chased after each other and came to the restaurant in a blink of an eye, Ling Guo'er ran to the carriage to dodge, but Huzi didn't give him a chance to breathe and threw the knife in his hand.

Although it is a throw, it is very close to the distance, so it is actually very easy to grasp the force.

His knife was obviously aimed at the bolted horse post, and the knife also hit it vigorously, cutting the hemp rope alive.

Ling Guo'er and Huzi were both overjoyed, and they jumped into the carriage with a glance at each other. Huzi got into the carriage headlong, and Ling Guoer drove with a whip, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

Under Ling Guo'er's frenzied whip, the horse let out a neighing sound, driving the carriage to gallop down the street.

But at this moment, there was a low whimper in the carriage.

Wrong!

Ling Guo'er noticed something was wrong, and immediately stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain to check.

But as soon as he entered the carriage, a sharp dagger was pressed against his chest. When he looked closely, his accomplice Huzi had already tied his hands and feet, and even his mouth was stuffed with rags.

Hit the trick!

"You must be wondering, how can we be in the carriage, right? You obviously watched the three of us go to the restaurant for dinner, so you moved the thief's heart and planned to hijack the carriage, right? ”

Ning Xiu explained with a smile: "It's actually very simple, I just used a stand-in. ”

"Stand-in?"

Ling Guo'er raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"I just found a few people to wear our clothes and swaggered into the restaurant. In other words, it's for you to see. Actually, I went to the pawnshop just to get your attention. We must be short of money to spend on the money we have just been stolen, and it is normal to go to the pawnshop for some money at this time. After that, I went on a shopping spree in the main shops on the street, just to tell you that we had bought a lot of things for a lot of money. I'd be a little surprised if you didn't take the bait. ”
