Chapter 11 Southbound
Since Fu Qianhai pit the Night Pearl from the merchants of the Western Regions, it was a careful daily care, just today, after he just wiped the Night Pearl and put it in the box with a sigh of relief, he heard a terrifying announcement, saying that there was another Night Pearl in the market this afternoon, which was nearly twice as big as the rich family.
Hearing this, Fu Qianhai was a little disdainful. This night pearl is rare to see in a hundred years, and the one in his hand was still coaxed from the hands of the group of crappy merchants in the Western Regions. If you want to say that there is another one, Thaksin. To say that it is bigger than the night pearl in his hand? He didn't believe it.
When Fu Qianhai arrived at the market with the box in his hand, he saw an honest-looking man touting something to the crowd around him.
"Let me tell you, my night pearl is rare to see in a thousand years!" The honest-looking man carried a cloth bag in his hand, which was bulging, and it was estimated that it was the night pearl in his mouth.
"What's the matter, you have to show everyone! Let's open our eyes! The crowd roared.
"Yes! You've got to show us, or how do we know if you're telling the truth? Another urged.
"Don't worry, don't worry, of course the baby has to be real, tell you that no one can be bigger and brighter than this bead of mine!"
Hearing this, Fu Qianhai couldn't listen to it anymore, and dared to compare with his night pearl? Scold! With a sneer, he glanced at the butler. The housekeeper looked at his master and gave him a hint, and immediately shouted: "Let one go, let one go, what's the squeeze?" We also want to see it! Is it really bigger than the beads of our old man's house! ”
When the crowd heard this, they immediately gave way to a road. The honest-looking man was provoked, and he angrily poured the night pearl out of the step bag.
"Humph! Today, I'm going to show you this treasure that is rare for a thousand years!" After speaking, he saw a bead the size of a goose egg in his hand.
Fu Qianhai glanced at it and smiled. This bead looks big, but where is the pearl of the night? It's clearly just a glass bead that reflects the sun's rays in broad daylight, where can it be compared with his beads. That's a baby bead that can be bright at night, or how to call it a night pearl?
"Huh! You are a thing, and you dare to call it the pearl of the night? Fu Qianhai said sarcastically.
"You think this one of mine is? Then take out your beads! The honest-looking man shouted loudly to Fu Qianhai with a flushed face.
"Good! I'll open your eyes today, sir, wipe your dog's eyes, and don't look dirty with my baby. As he spoke, he opened the box in his hand and took out the night pearl.
As soon as Fu Qianhai opened the box and took out the night pearl, he was snatched by the honest man, who shouted: "Your bead must also be fake!" ”
Without waiting for the man to watch carefully, Fu Qianhai hurriedly snatched it back: "Phew! I don't know the mud legs of the heels, and I don't know how to recognize the uncle's baby! With that, he sighed, wiped it with a cloth and hurriedly put it back in the box.
Seeing Fu Qianhai's constant ridicule, the man rushed out of the crowd with a red face. The crowd was noisy.
"Hey! It turned out to be a piece of glass. ”
"I'll just say, it's rare to see a night pearl in a hundred years, how can it be so easy to appear the size of a goose egg!"
"But seeing the night pearl of the Fu family, it can be regarded as a rise in sight."
"It's all gone, it's all gone! If you take a broken glass, you dare to compare with our master's baby? The rich housekeeper shook his hand and dispersed the crowd.
"Go home! Why is it a good thing, a broken glass dares to be called the pearl of the night, hum! The vain Fu family master Chong said.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good."
Fu Qianhai, who had just returned home, listened to this depressing sentence, what's wrong? Sir, I have a face up today. hurriedly slapped the shouting servant.
"Master, someone sent a letter, saying that he was coming to Fufu to steal something." The servant who had been slapped wept and mourned.
"I heard that Master Fu has a rare night pearl in his house, Lu is not talented, and he will steal it on the fifth watch tonight, and Lord Fu is waiting! ---Lubei Tour Enlightenment"
"Master, what should I do?" The butler asked.
"What to do? I heard that a few years ago, there was a big thief named Lu Nanxing, who notified the owner before stealing. It was also a notice to the five watchmen to steal, but the result was not to buy off the husband who played the watch, and it was a little ahead of time, so that the owner could let down his guard. The case has long been solved. I don't know where the little thief came from! Change the soup without changing the medicine, and I don't even know how to change the surname! ”
"You inform me, don't let the husband come to this street tonight, and all the chickens in the house will be killed, and then report to the government, if you have the ability to not be afraid of death, let him steal..."
Early morning.
"Master, it's not good, there is a group of ants on the wall outside crawling into the words "Lu Beiyou". ”
"What? Let's go and see if the Night Pearl is still there? Fu Qianhai shouted anxiously.
"Master, the key to the treasury is only on you!" The messenger continued.
"Yes, yes, follow me to the storeroom."
....
"Lu Beiyou!" Fu Qianhai howled at the stones in the box.
At this time, Tie Lihua was standing in the rich family's treasury, inspecting everything in this room. "The windows and doors were closed, and the beams were dusty. There is no trace of prying on the door lock, and there are other families stationed outside the courtyard. "With this kind of arrangement, it is impossible for someone to sneak into the room and steal things without knowing it.
The words of the people before made Tie Lihua feel disgusted with Fu Qianhai's character, and the witnesses were all slaves of rich families, which inevitably made Tie Lihua a little suspicious that it was a prison guard who had reported a false case.
Fu Qianhai looked at the box and stone in his hand, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He simply threw the stone out of the storeroom door along with the box.
At the same time, Hai Wuxian also led Ding Yao into the courtyard where the warehouse was located, and the little girl saw Fu Qianhai throw away the replaced stone, so she hurriedly ran over to pick up the stone and blew the dust on the stone itself. ran back to Hai Wuxian's side and asked Hai Wuxian, "Brother Hai, this is the stone that was replaced with the Night Pearl, how did the thief steal it?" ”
Hai Wuxian carefully observed the stone handed to him by the little girl, and after confirming that it was indeed an ordinary stone, he couldn't help but be curious, he originally thought that the thief had made the Night Pearl into his hands and feet, which made Fu Qianhai angry and discarded the "stone" that had made his hands and feet, and then came to recover the Night Pearl, but he didn't expect that this stone was really an ordinary stone.
Tie Lihua saw that Hai Wuxian was holding a stone in his hand, so she ran over and grabbed the stone, and said to Hai Wuxian: "This is evidence, and idlers are not allowed to touch it at will." After speaking, he glared at Hai Wuxian.
Seeing this, Hai Wuxian could only smile helplessly. turned to Ding Yao and said, "Let's go, take you to eat sugar gourd, don't disturb the Iron God Arrest case!" ”
"Humph!" Tie Lihua replied coldly. She went to the courtyard of the Fu family first and heard Hai Wuxian explain the honey text to the little girl, and felt that he was of some help to this case, but she didn't expect to take the stone and look at it for a long time, and she didn't say anything suspicious.
Hai Wuxian, who went out, led the little girl around the street, Hai Wuxian walked in front, and the little girl followed behind, with a sugar gourd in one hand. Ding Yao looked at Hai Wuxian thinking about things, and didn't dare to disturb.
If there is no trace of sneaking in from the outside, then it must be that the night pearl has been replaced, and if you want to know the method of theft, you must first figure out the specific time of the bag drop. I heard that someone in the market before compared with Fu Qianhai whose night pearl was bigger, it is estimated that it was the big thief Lu Beiyou, but I heard that the bead was only taken back by Fu Qianhai after a glance in this person's hand, and wiped it before putting it back in the box, it should be unlikely that the bag will be dropped at that time.
"Bang!" Hai Wuxian stopped unconsciously when he was thinking about things, followed by the little girl who was eating sugar gourd with her head down, and she didn't notice Hai Wuxian's abnormality for a while, and bumped into it.
Seeing this, Hai Wuxian hurriedly helped the little girl up, but when he picked up the little girl, because his back was to the sun, there was a bright light in the little girl's hand, which made both of them very curious, and Hai Wuxian found that his hand was also glowing with green light at this time. This discovery made Hai Wuxian hurriedly pull the little girl back to the Fu family.
Hai Wuxian, who returned to the rich family, immediately shouted like Tie Lihua: "Lihua, let me see the stone again." ”
Tie Lihua looked angry: "Please call me the iron catcher." ”
"Okay. Iron catcher, I want to see the stone again. ”
"That stone is physical evidence, and idlers are not allowed to touch it." Tie Pear Blossom is still the same sentence.
"I know how to exchange stones for the Night Pearl in exchange for Lu Beiyou." Hai Wuxian could only say helplessly.
"Here you go." The iron pear blossom is very refreshing.
Hai Wuxian held the stone with his back to the sun. Sure enough, as he expected, it was coated with fluorescent powder. When he saw the stone at that time, he thought it was to put it in the box for convenience, but now it seems that the honest man in the market must have been Lu Beiyou. In order to be able to hide from Fu Qianhai, he also deliberately chose the afternoon, when the sun was not very sufficient, and then cooperated with Fu Qianhai to wipe the night pearl and then put it in the box. Presumably, Lu Beiyou has already run away now!
Lu Beiyou didn't think about Hai Wuxian, now he is playing with the Night Pearl in the inn guest room, just as Hai Wuxian thought, Lu Beiyou only sent a letter to the Fu family after getting the Night Pearl.
There was another person in Lu Beiyou's room, with a clear and handsome face, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and phoenix eyes, but his face was pale and haggard.
"Holy, what did you tell them in prison? Why are you chasing after me? Lu Beiyou hated and hated.
"The Father just told them to give you something." It was Lu Nanxing who was in prison escape.
"What's that? Tell them about me, and you won't be afraid of breaking off yourself? ”
"Talisman!"
"Talismans? How dare you steal this? Lu Beiyou looked incredulous.
