Chapter Forty-Three, The Thief
Everyone felt that it was okay, Liang Hong also led the horse to find it, and several people looked at Liang Hong's appearance with great apologies, one person led five horses to wander the street, and many times he couldn't lead it and almost got into trouble.
The sound of people coming and going on the street, and the sound of selling everywhere has been seen to be prosperous, but there is still some distance from Guangling.
The sun in the sky shone on the warm and beautiful sunlight, shining on the backs of several people galloping on horses, and all the colors of the street became the background, and everything became beautiful and serene.
Originally, Sun Xianlin and Qi Fengqi didn't want Su Lingling to rush away, and Ah Ci was also reluctant, but Su Lingling insisted again and again, and everyone could only follow her, afraid that something would go wrong with her.
In order to settle Su Lingling, everyone rode their horses very slowly at first, but Su Lingling didn't appreciate it, and took the lead, thinking they were too slow.
Several people had no choice but to follow.
When the group arrived in Guangling, it was already night, and Guangling at night was still prosperous even more prosperous than during the day, although several people had not seen Guangling during the day.
Roadside stalls are full of people drinking, and there are people who sell lanterns, although it is not a lantern festival, but there are still guessing lantern riddles.
Ah Ci jumped up and down along the way to look at this, look at that, and a few people couldn't cry or laugh.
Su Lingling also slowly opened her mind to Ah Ci, feeling that Ah Ci was actually a simple little girl, and she did it just because she was too simple and didn't think much about it.
Ah Ci is really happy, she has been growing up, either in the nunnery, listening to the nuns chanting, or in the Qinglou, listening to others singing.
Although her city is also prosperous, it is far less prosperous than Guangling, and the martial arts conference is only once in five years, so on the eve of the martial arts conference, the prosperity of Guangling is not even comparable to the capital.
Walking and walking, Ah Ci suddenly stopped, a group of people surrounded the city and watched something, Ah Ci squeezed in, Qi Fengqi shouted and didn't shout, so he could only squeeze in.
"Don't get separated, everyone!" Sun Xian was squeezed away from Su Lingling by the crowd, and shouted in the direction of Su Lingling.
Su Lingling was also extremely helpless when he was squeezed, which was really more lively than the Lantern Festival.
Seeing Qi Fengqi drop himself and get in, and then look at Sun Xian Shan, who was struggling not far away, and shouted to Sun Xian Shan: "Let's go inside and have a look." ”
Sun Xian Lin heard that he was going up against the current and forced to squeeze in.
As soon as there are many people, it is inevitable to encounter a group of people with bad intentions, Sun Xian was squeezed out, and the purse on his waist was taken away by one person, and he didn't notice it, after all, there were too many people, even if they practiced martial arts, they didn't have that vigilance.
The purse on Qi Fengqi's waist didn't know when it was taken away, so he followed Ah Ci and squeezed in to see people playing tricks, dancing and applauding. When people asked for money, Qi Fengqi shouted when he wanted to give money: "Oops, my purse has been taken away!" ”
Ah Ci looked at his face when he heard this, and touched his purse by the way, relieved that it was fortunately not taken away.
Qi Fengqi shouted loudly that everyone around him began to look at his purse, and many people found that their purse was taken away, but there were many people, and it was not so easy to find a thief.
Su Lingling finally squeezed in, and when Ah Ci saw it, he leaned over and asked, "Miss Su, has your purse been taken away?" ”
Su Lingling touched the purse on his waist, his face changed, and he nodded.
"There are a lot of thieves here, and many people's purses have been taken away."
And not far away, a young man in Tsing Yi had a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the people behind him with disdain and contempt.
Then he walked out of the crowd, walked to the mouth of a small alley, and suddenly rolled over to the wall.
He took out a purse from his pocket, first took out a green purse, opened it, poured out a lot of broken silver, and smiled disdainfully: "At first glance, he is a poor ghost." ”
This purse happened to be Qi Fengqi's, Qi Fengqi didn't bring much money in the first place, his money was occasionally brought from the government to arrest prisoners, and five hundred at a time was enough to spend half a year.
Recently, due to the martial arts conference, the rivers and lakes have been relatively chaotic, so I haven't arrested people in the government's mansion.
Someone also asked Qi Fengqi to do a quick catch, but Qi Fengqi was obsessed with practicing martial arts and refused.
Then he opened a black bulging one, and as soon as he opened it, he poured out a pile of silver tickets, a few broken silver and a few ingots of silver, and when he saw the number on the silver tickets, the young man's eyes widened: "Wow, so rich!" ”
But seeing so much money, I was a little weak-hearted, thinking that this was probably a non-rich or expensive residence, and it would be bad to steal the local land.
But think about it, he has never been afraid of anyone when he is famous as a teenager, and he has no fear if he has never been caught.
Put all the purse on his chest, and he couldn't be happy.
Qi Fengqi squinted his eyes in the crowd, and was unusually angry: "You go back to the inn and wait for me, I'll go back later." ”
"Hey, what are you doing!" Ah Ci wanted to follow, but was hindered by the crowd.
Su Lingling grabbed her and shook her head at her.
When Qi Fengqi left, he just bumped into Sun Xian Lin who came in, Sun Xian Lin looked at Qi Fengqi strangely and was angry, and wanted to ask why he went, but he saw Su Lingling and A Ci squeezing over.
"What did Brother Qi do?"
Ah Ci frowned and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
"What else can he do, of course it's a thief."
Su Lingling said, his tone full of helplessness.
Sun Xian was silent, so Ah Ci remembered: "Is your purse still there?" ”
Sun Xian touched his purse when he heard this, his face changed at the moment, and Ah Ci sighed: "Let's go with him to catch the thief." Because in addition to the delicate bone she had put on her chest that had been touched from Sun Xian Lian, her purse had also been stolen.
Sun Xian nodded and squeezed out as soon as he squeezed in.
Su Lingling led them out of the crowded crowd, and based on his own experience, he felt that the thief should be in the dark alley at the moment.
If it is a gang, it may be dividing the spoils, if it is alone, Su Lingling denied this idea, how could one person steal so many people's wallets, basically most people's wallets were lost.
"Let's separate and look for the alleys."
Sun Xianling frowned and obviously disagreed with this idea, what if the thief was strong in martial arts, Sun Xianlin said his thoughts, Su Lingling looked at Ah Ci, thought about it and said, "You two together, I'll go find my senior brother." ”
Sun Xian Lin wanted to say something, Su Lingling left, Ah Ci was a little stunned, thinking that he would put her and Sun Xian Lin together, was he not afraid that Sun Xian Lin would change his mind about her, although he didn't have much interest in her.
Two people together, in the alley where there are not many people and only moonlight, it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed.
Qi Fengqi tirelessly searched the alleys one by one, the reason why he was asked to be the head catcher was not unreasonable, he was asked to catch those people in the past, no matter how cunning he was caught, it can be seen how carefully Qi Fengqi was when he caught people.
He was born to be a cat.
Suddenly found a footprint in an alley, looked at the footprints for a while and felt that it couldn't be done normally, this footprint was only one-third, because it was dust, so the footprints were not obvious if you didn't look carefully, Qi Fengqi deduced that this person was here on tiptoe to the wall, and with Qi Fengqi also following on tiptoe, to the wall that the young man had taken.
I looked at it and found footprints on the wall.
When Su Lingling entered the alley, he saw a person on the wall, and immediately raised his vigilance, and when he looked closely, he found that it was his senior brother, looking at his appearance, he was so serious and focused on what he found.
Watching him walk step by step along the edge of the wall, slowly coming to the end, and then flipping and jumping into someone's yard, Su Lingling hurriedly jumped to the head of the wall and followed Qi Fengqi in.
With Qi Fengqi, he turned over one yard after another.
Then in the third courtyard, Su Lingling felt that something was wrong, saw Qi Fengqi stop, and then saw a man in Tsing Yi coming out of the corner of the wall.
"Haven't you been tired of following me for so long?"
Qi Fengqi didn't speak, just carefully observed this person.
Su Lingling walked to Qi Fengqi's side and also looked at this person vigilantly.
Su Lingling felt that this young man had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his figure always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't tell that something was wrong there.
"You're too greedy."
Qi Fengqi said to the young man.
The young man smiled contemptuously: "What's the matter with you?" ”
This is in someone's yard, the young man's afterglow saw the lights on in the house, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with Qi Fengqi, so he jumped on the wall all of a sudden, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Qi Fengqi hurriedly followed, but his light skills were obviously inferior to others.
Su Lingling looked at the lights that were lit up and turned out of the courtyard.
Looking at the two of them flying again, there is no shadow for a long time.
Su Lingling knew that he couldn't keep up with his light skills, and he didn't recover well, so he could only sigh and prepare to go back.
Ah Ci and Sun Xian Lin are tirelessly searching one alley after another.
Originally, Ah Ci's mind was not on this, thinking about how to say that Sun Xian Lin said it was good, but Sun Xian Lin was very focused, and Ah Ci felt a little frustrated.
Suddenly, when passing through an alley, Ah Ci hurriedly saw a shadow passing above his head in a gust of wind, and before he could react, it was another shadow.
At that moment, Ah Ci reacted and thought that it might be Qi Fengqi catching the thief, but the light work was obviously partially left behind by the thief.
Ah Ci became interested, and Sun Xian just wanted to raise his skills to catch up with him, but he saw Ah Ci disappear in a gust of wind.
"Ah porcelain!" Sun Xian shouted in the direction where Ah Ci disappeared uneasily, but he didn't get anything, and he couldn't see the shadow.
At this moment, Sun Xian Lin began to feel that Ah Ci didn't seem to be as weak as he believed.
Ah Ci is best at light work, if a person, more than ten years only practice light work, then even if you are stupid, you will be powerful.
For example, Ah Ci caught up with Qi Fengqi in a while, caught up with that shadow, and even surpassed that shadow.
