Chapter 255: Catching a Thief

The sixteenth day of the first month.

The last day of the Shangyuan Festival.

After this day has passed, the New Year is over.

Spring is coming, too.

Many people in Chang'an City have not given up, and they are still staring at every place in Chang'an for the hundred yuan of money.

In the afternoon of that day, another carriage came at the city gate pulling a coffin, and there were several people standing next to the coffin, all of whom were crying.

"Dad, you left so early."

"My poor daddy......"

A group of people cried, and when the doorman saw the coffin, he pursed his lips in disgust and shouted, "Stop, routine inspection." ”

"Official, it's my father who died inside......"

"I don't care who you are dying, open it, do a routine check."

There was no way, those people could only open the coffin, after the coffin was opened, a smell of corpses came to the face, the official only glanced at it, and immediately scolded: "People who have been dead for a long time, don't bury them quickly, roll ......."

The officials were very disgusted, and those people hurriedly pulled the coffin out of Chang'an City.

And just after they left Chang'an City, Wu Jian suddenly appeared at the gate of the city.

"How?"

"Qin Beijia really has a good plan, the one who transported the coffin just now obviously learned our previous methods, but his subordinates are puzzled, why didn't Qin Beijia let us arrest them on the spot?"

Wu Jian smiled lightly: "There are too many people coming and going in Chang'an City, and if they fight, I am afraid that they will accidentally injure innocent people, and this is also conducive to their absconding, and after they leave Chang'an City, it will be much more convenient to do it again." ”

"Besides, don't drive Qin Don't worry that some of their accomplices have already left Chang'an City, since they want to be arrested, then don't think about running away, tell the brothers, follow me out of the city."

Wu Jian led dozens of officials out of the city and followed.

After the carriage pulling the coffin left Chang'an, it went east and soon came to a mass grave.

Then, seven or eight people came out of the mass grave.

"How's it going, is it safe?" A man was very burly, and he looked like the boss of the group.

The person wearing filial piety took off his filial piety clothes at this time, and a man with a little clear eyebrows smiled: "Don't worry, boss, brother, I am resourceful, it's not easy to transport this money out?" ”

"It's finished?"

"Naturally."

After the clear-eyed man finished speaking, he ordered someone to carry the coffin down, then threw away one of the corpses inside, and then lifted the quilt spread under the corpse, and under the quilt, some gold, silver and jewelry were seen.

"How's it going, boss?" The man with clear eyebrows said as if to take credit.

When the burly man saw that the money was really shipped out, he immediately laughed: "Okay, good, the second child is worthy of Sai Zhuge Ah, you can transport this money out, you are indispensable, you can come up with something to hide it in the coffin, and you are also a great talent." ”

"Big brother praises falsely, it's just that those officials don't check the coffin very much......"

As the second child was talking, the boss suddenly drew his knife, and couldn't help but say, clicked to ask for the second child's life, and at the same time, the six or seven people behind him were not ambiguous, and hurriedly gave the results to those who followed the second child out of Chang'an City.

In a few moments, there were several more corpses at the mass grave.

"Second brother, second brother, don't blame the eldest brother for being ruthless, it's such a small thing, there are too many of us and we don't have enough points."

After speaking, the man instructed several of his cronies: "Quickly pack up the things and take them away!" ”

"Whoa!"

A group of thieves were about to make a move, but at this time, a voice suddenly came coldly: "You have robbed all the East Palace, do you think you can easily leave?" ”

Wu Jian walked out, and at the same time, the dozens of officials he led also surrounded the seven or eight people in an instant.

When the man saw the servant coming, he was shocked: "The second child betrayed us? ”

He felt that the officials were actually behind, and it must have been the second child who betrayed them and attracted those officials.

Wu Jian sneered: "He didn't betray you, but the idea of transporting things in a coffin was given to him by my family." ”

"What do you mean?"

Wu Jian shrugged: "You don't need to know what it means. ”

As he spoke, Wu Jian shouted sharply: "Come on, arrest these people for me, if anyone dares to resist, they will be killed." ”

"Whoa!"

The official received the order and immediately rushed over, they thieves are quite bold, but in the face of so much repression, it is useless to be bold, and they have to rely on strength.

When a few people were killed, the remaining people immediately fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

"Take it away!"

Chang'an City, Jingzhao Mansion.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng came to Jingzhao Mansion in person, and Bao Wei and Qin Tian waited carefully.

"Today is the deadline, Qin Tian, this prince is here to ask you, do you have a way to find the thief?"

Qin Tian was not in a hurry, and said: "Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worry, before nightfall, I will definitely be able to help you catch the thief and recover the stolen goods." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled: "Okay, the prince is waiting here, if you can't catch it, see how the prince teaches you." ”

After speaking, Li Jiancheng sat down in the living room of Jingzhao Mansion, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only wait carefully beside him.

On the contrary, Qin Tian was very calm on the side, and he didn't feel worried or scared at all.

And just when the prince was sitting in Jingzhao Mansion, Li Shimin and the Ninth Princess walked in one after the other, and after the two came in, they glanced at each other, and the Ninth Princess suddenly blushed a little.

Li Shimin smiled lightly: "The ninth sister also came to Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

"Can't you?"

Li Shimin shrugged: "Nothing, together." ”

The Ninth Princess frowned, but thinking that Qin Tian might be retaliated against by Li Jiancheng, she didn't mind so much and walked in.

The arrival of the two made Li Jiancheng and Qin Tian a little surprised, but Qin Tian's heart warmed after being surprised, it must be that the two of them learned that Li Jiancheng was coming, and they were worried that Li Jiancheng would not be good for them, so they hurriedly came.

"Lord Wang, Ninth Princess!" Bao Wei and Qin Tian hurriedly saluted, and the ninth princess saw that Li Shimin was coming, but she was not in a hurry, Li Shimin was here, just waved her hand, and then looked at Li Jiancheng.

"The prince is also there?"

Li Jiancheng snorted: "Why are you two here?" ”

Li Shimin smiled, and didn't say that he was here to help Qin Tian, but said: "A slave in the house ran away and came to report the case." ”

This reason is very inferior, the dignified Qin Wangfu will care about a slave?

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips, glanced at the Ninth Princess again, and then frowned, very puzzled: "Why is the Ninth Sister here?" ”

The relationship between the ninth princess and the crown prince is not bad, but she is a little embarrassed at this time, and she can't think of a good reason for a while, so she can only hurriedly say: "I also lost a slave in my house, and I came to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, hoping that Lord Bao can help this princess find out as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian next to him couldn't help but squirt, almost choking on the water he drank in.
