In mid-November, an order was issued to the government of the same prefecture, and since a group of swindlers had recently arrived, and these swindlers were accustomed to pretending to be mature people to commit crimes, the people of the whole city were ordered to pay close attention to it, and as soon as they found someone who could wait, they immediately reported it to the state government, and the state government would give a certain reward according to the actual situation. Taking advantage of this opportunity, many street ruffians were accused of going to the government office, in order to arrest people, the government also specially dropped 600 government soldiers from outside, according to the meaning of Zhizhou Fan Zeng, that is, it is better to catch 3,000 by mistake than to let go of one. This is a bitter gang of ruffians, but Fan Zhizhou has already made it clear that he would rather catch 3,000 by mistake than let go of one, and be thrown into prison, and he can only consider himself unlucky.

Tongzhou City launched a vigorous rectification movement years ago, in the north of the city by the market town there is a family but live very peaceful, this is an ordinary northwest earthen wall courtyard, the courtyard lives an old couple, the old man is more than 50 years old, the son died early, the daughter-in-law also remarried others. The old man's name is Le Sangui, and his wife is Yan. Le Laohan carried a few sticks of firewood into the kitchen, and it didn't take long for green smoke to rise. Le Laohan was born a little hunchbacked, and he is older, so he looks even older. When the meal was ready, his wife Yan opened the cauldron and filled a bowl of hot porridge from it, but surprisingly, Yan did not leave the kitchen with the porridge, but walked towards the water tank. The water tank is not big, but it is full of water, how can it weigh fifty or sixty pounds, but when I saw Yan's gentle push, the water tank moved more than half a zhang. Who would have thought that this seemingly old and unbearable Yan clan would still have miraculous skills.

Of course, an ordinary old woman can't do any kung fu, this old woman is none other than the Thousand Faces Buddha, the master of the Thousand Gates. At this time, he had a Yan face. But the next moment. Maybe it's someone else. No one in the rivers and lakes has ever seen the true appearance of the Buddha of a Thousand Faces, and they don't even know whether he is a man or a woman. This time he came to Tongzhou, he was also entrusted by someone, and he couldn't refuse that person's request. In recent days, the Tongzhou Mansion has been moving constantly, and he is naturally clear in his heart, it is obvious that the Tongzhou Mansion has been left by his nose, so. I guess I'll be able to get what I want soon.

There was a junction under the water tank, which looked cold and dark, and the Buddha with a thousand faces came down and lit an oil lamp at the door. This is a cellar a few zhang wide, next to these miscellaneous things, the innermost sat a woman with a cloak of hair, the female character lowered her head, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but looking at her figure, it was not bad. Put the bowl of porridge at the woman's feet. The Buddha of the Thousand Faces giggled in an old voice, "Eat." If you're starving, you won't be able to wait for someone else to save you. ”

The laughter of the Buddha with a thousand faces was very terrible, it sounded like a dry throat, squeezed out little by little, hoarse with some horror. The woman ignored the Buddha with a thousand faces, holding the bowl and drinking it in one gulp.

Looking at this woman with a disheveled hair, the Buddha of a thousand faces felt very puzzled, since she was locked up here, she was not noisy or noisy, she ate when she had food, and slept when she was sleepy, was she so confident that someone would come to save her?

Back in the kitchen, the old eyes of the Buddha with a thousand faces suddenly opened, and his eyes were shining, and in a blink of an eye, it seemed like a different person. Le Laohan stood up and stood respectfully to the side, holding a paper ball in his hand, "Door master, there is news from Lingzi's side, saying that the key has been found." ”

"Well, if that's the case, let's go with the plan. This Zhao Yougong is also as stupid as a pig, how can anyone still be so jealous of him? There was a lot of sarcasm in the tone of the Thousand Faced Buddha, before he came to Tongzhou, the man asked him to be more careful, saying that Zhao Yougong was shrewd and ruthless, but now that he looks at it, it is nothing more than that.

Stupid people look at everyone smart, and smart people look at everyone stupid. The Buddha of Thousand Faces left the kitchen with some food, and the old man followed closely behind, pushing a small cart and slowly leaving the small courtyard.

At night, Tongzhou City became deserted again, and during this time, it was difficult for the government to be quiet and quiet. There is a wealthy family in the west of the city, this rich family's surname is Yu, and the ancestor is a big food Hu merchant, and it is passed on to his generation, which can be regarded as a family wealth. Originally, Yu Bolie lived in Jingzhao Mansion, but after the tax exemption order in the same state, he put the trading place in the same state, and even moved to the same state with his whole family to live in the same state for a long time. Today, Yu Bolie drank some wine outside, and only returned home when he arrived. The Yu family's house is divided into two courtyards, the east courtyard is the eldest lady, and the west courtyard is the concubine, Yu Bolie drank some wine, there was a fire in his belly, and he naturally went to the west courtyard, but as soon as he entered the courtyard today, he heard a different sound, and the light in the concubine Huan's house was also on. Through the window, you can clearly see two figures in the room.

Seeing this, Yu Bolie's wine immediately woke up halfway, he frowned, his anger surged, he picked up the stick next to the courtyard gate and walked to the house. This thief is really tired and crooked, and he has actually caused trouble on someone's head. Yu Bolie was tall and tall, kicked open the door, and when he took a look, he saw that the little concubine Huan's hands were tied, and a ball of silk cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and beside her stood a handsome young man.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, you have eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard, and you dare to come to my mansion to spread wild" said, Yu Bolie held a wooden stick and smashed it at the young man, the young man quickly jumped away and said loudly, "Be bold and make a fool of the people, this son is Zhao Yougong, the king of Jinling, I like you as a concubine, that is your blessing, acquaintance, get out of here." ”

Yu Bolie snorted, and sneered, "Get out of your mother, the government has said it, and if you see King Jinling insulting her again, you must be in disguise, Lao Tzu sees that you are the birdman who wears a mask and ruins His Highness's reputation, right?" Dare to quibble, let's see if Lao Tzu won't kill you today? As soon as the words fell, Yu Bolie deceived himself again, where was the fake Zhao Yougong Yu Bolie's opponent, he was whipped in three or two clicks, he opened the door, spread out and ran out, Yu Bolie was unwilling to let go of this kind of lewd thief, and chased after the wooden stick behind him.

At this time, what happened in the Yu family also happened in other places in the city, overnight, those fake little county kings who had disappeared for several days seemed to pop out again, and for a time there was chaos in the city, and there were voices everywhere to catch prostitutes. As soon as he got the report, Fan Zeng immediately scattered all the government soldiers, and Zhao Yougong, who was hiding in the palace to rest, was also alarmed. There are also people who risk his reputation for finding someone to commit murder, and they are angry when they are angry. So he ordered dozens of palace guards. also joined the search army. As for those fake little county kings, the chasing wolf bèi fled, panicked, and it didn't take long for a few unlucky eggs to fall into the hands of the government soldiers.

In the north of Tongzhou City, Le Laohan walked towards Youji Town with his hands in his hand, and his old dragon bell looked like he couldn't see any flaws at all. From Tongzhou to Youji Town, there is only one official road. This official road is bare, and there is only an old elm tree two miles away from Tongzhou. This elm tree is surrounded by a person, and I heard that this tree is more than 100 years old. This time, Le Laohan came out just to put something on this elm tree. Not long after the old man left, a man in a black robe came to the elm tree, he touched the elm tree and found a small note, lit the fire, looked at it twice, and burned the note to ashes.

Le Laohan walked too slowly, just a dozen miles. He came and went for a full hour and a half, and went out at the same time. When he came back, when he returned to the house, the Yan family dressed as the Buddha with a thousand faces was already resting on the earthen kang. Pushing open the door, Le Laohan lit the oil lamp and gave a salute, "The door master, one qiē is normal, now there is chaos in Tongzhou City, and even Zhao Yougong led the guards to arrest people." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect this Zhao Yougong to be really stupid, I don't know why that person is so afraid of him?"

The Buddha sat up, his fingers gently stirring a straw rope, which he had been accustomed to for many years, and whenever something was done, he would take out a straw rope and keep moving it until the rope was broken.

In the Jinling Palace, King Zhao Xiaojun led Ah Jiu and Ah Zhu to run out with a group of guards to catch the thieves, and of course the fierce Da Zhuang was indispensable. At this time, the outside of the house was very lively, but the house was very deserted, because Zhao Yougong ran out to join in the fun, so Zhen Niang was not at ease, so she led people to the front hall to wait. The backyard was a little empty, Pan Jinlian lowered her head and walked briskly, but she didn't go to her boudoir, but came to Zhenniang's house. Zhen Niang is the princess, so the specifications of this residence are also different, the room is due north, not to mention the style, there will be people guarding it at ordinary times, but today's situation is special, Zhen Niang is not there, and most of the other people are attracted by the things in the city, but there is no one else at this time.

In the palace, especially in the backyard, most of them are their own people, so they don't have the habit of locking it, Pan Jinlian stretched out her hand and gently pushed it, and the door opened. The corners of his mouth curled, revealing a somewhat smug smile, the door master's strategy is powerful, so easily diverted everyone's attention, where did those people think that the real purpose of this operation would be Zhang Zhenniang's room.

Closing the door, Pan Jinlian skillfully found the candle in the house, and with the light, she came to the inner room with the candlestick. In the back room, there was a cabinet, open the cabinet, it was mostly clothes, she didn't turn it over, reached out and touched the top of the cabinet, and after a while, she touched something, and when she pressed it lightly, she heard a click, and a small drawer popped up at the top of the cabinet. Remove the drawer, take out the small brocade box inside, but frowned again, it turns out that this brocade box is locked, and the box is not just made of anything, it is extremely hard, to get the contents of the box, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.

Put the box on the cuffs, blow out the candles, and go to the outhouse in a hurry, open the door and be about to leave, but he was stunned, because the small courtyard in front of the house was actually full of people, and a delicate woman smiled lazily.

"Giggles, it's really for the brocade box!" Nian Nu'er smiled coquettishly, but there was a little bad taste in her smile, and she looked infinitely amorous, but this kind of charm was so terrible in Pan Jinlian's eyes.

Closing the door and trying to make an indifferent appearance, Pan Jinlian said softly, "Sister Cui, what are you talking about, why can't my little sister understand?" ”

"Don't understand? Oh, forgot, you're not that little fox, why am I talking so much nonsense with you? Nian Nu'er touched her jade finger and said with a smile, "Go to a few people, tie her up, and serve her well for a while, now anyone dares to come to my palace to spread wild." ”

was seen through the identity, Pan Jinlian, no, to be precise, it should be Ling'er. Ling'er retracted her smile, her eyes showed a little cold light, she jumped on the roof lightly, she didn't think that as soon as she stood firmly, there was a bright light around her, and dozens of archers were scattered around, all aimed at her. Knowing that it was impossible to break in, she turned over and fell into the courtyard, and in a few jumps she rushed to the far well, and at this time, Nian Nu'er also led people to surround her unhurriedly.

"Cui Niannu, let your people retreat, otherwise the old lady will throw this brocade box into the well, and none of us will be able to get the key in the box at that time" Ling'er didn't seem to be cheating, her hand had reached the mouth of the well, as long as she let go, the brocade box would fall immediately.

Nian Nu'er was not in a hurry at all, not only was she not afraid, but she covered her mouth and said with a smile, "You are really stupid, since we can see that you are fake, will we leave the key to you?" Do you think the key will be in that brocade box? If you think so, you can throw it away. (To be continued......)
