Chapter Ninety-One: Catch the Thief!

Seeing that Long Yan came back to his senses, Lu Chen said, "You divide these gold and silver into three parts, sort out one of them, and wait for me to return to Beijing and hand over the Tang Gold." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info, the second part we left for ourselves to build the Holy City. As for the last one, you ask people to inquire about those who have been persecuted by the Jiang family over the years, and if you give them these, it will be regarded as compensation."

"Yes, General!" After Long Yan agreed, he immediately went to work. Looking at the back of Long Yan leaving in a hurry, Lu Chen secretly said in his heart that he should find a deputy, otherwise Long Yan would not be able to do it alone.

While thinking, Lu Chen walked towards the temporary residence in Minzhou City, but when he turned the street, he saw a young man running past them quickly, the young man seemed to be holding a roast chicken in his hand, and before Lu Chen could react, he saw two government soldiers also chasing him.

When the two saw Lu Chen, they immediately saluted and said, "General, you're back!" ”

"What happened to that teenager just now?" Lu Chen pointed to the young man who ran away and asked.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, I saw these two soldiers gritting their teeth for a while, and said, "This kid often steals things in the kitchen, and we haven't caught him several times, but I didn't expect him to be addicted, and he has to come and visit once a day!" ”

Hearing the words of these two government soldiers, Lu Chen asked with interest, "You two government soldiers can't catch this child?" ”

"The general didn't know that this kid was slippery, and he was very alert, and every time before we could get to the kitchen, this kid had already run over the wall! This time we laid a trap and finally surrounded him, but I didn't expect a careless one to let him take advantage of the loophole, and also took a roast chicken away! ”

Looking at the two government soldiers gritting their teeth, Lu Chen glanced thoughtfully in the direction where the young man had fled, and asked, "Will he come back tomorrow?" ”

"I don't know tomorrow, but it's certain to come again, this kid is obviously addicted to us!" The two soldiers were very sure that this young man had already eaten here many times.

Lu Chen just nodded, and went back without speaking. The next day, he asked the kitchen man to cook the meal early and put it in the kitchen. He let all the guards around him retreat, and he hid behind a large vat in the kitchen, quietly waiting for the boy to arrive.

When the sun was already hanging obliquely in the sky, there was finally a soft sound in the quiet kitchen, the sound was very small, and if it was a normal time, it would easily be mistaken for a small animal.

Immediately afterwards, a young man in ragged clothes came in through the small window at the back of the house, and the young man carefully observed the surroundings, and when he saw that there was no one, he came to the food that was placed outside.

While eating, he muttered very proudly, "If you have the ability, you can come again, master, I have never caught stealing food, the food here is really delicious, and I will be here in the future!" ”

The boy was talking to himself as he ate. Suddenly, the boy quickly took a duck leg and rushed to the window behind the house like a loach. Standing on the window, he looked at Lu Chen, his eyes full of doubts. Then he reluctantly moved his gaze to the fragrant meals on the case.

I saw that he threw the duck leg bone that had been gnawed in his hand towards the back of the vat, as if to test whether there was anyone here.

I don't know if the boy threw it accurately, or by chance, this duck leg bone smashed directly on Lu Chen's head behind.

Lu Chen "............"

Seeing that there was no response, the young man cautiously came to the food from the window, and glanced at the vat in the corner with anxiety. Then I saw him grabbing the food in both hands and eating it while walking towards the vat.

"How did you find me?" Lu Chen stood up directly from behind, and said while taking off the duck bone on his head.

However, after the young man saw Lu Chen, who suddenly appeared, he rushed out without saying a word, and the speed was so fast that Lu Chen couldn't catch it at the first time.

Although the young man's speed is very fast, Lu Chen is not slow. The two of them had already arrived on the street in a few moments, and when the young man saw that the person behind him seemed to have some ability, he suddenly braked sharply and ran towards the crowd.

Seeing the young man who entered the crowd, Lu Chen laughed with interest, and did not immediately chase after him, but kept his original speed and ran forward.

When Lu Chen came out of the crowd, the figure of the young man was already missing in front of him. But seeing that Lu Chen was not in a hurry, he walked towards the intersection in front of him, and at the intersection, a man saw Lu Chen coming and immediately pointed ahead. Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and chased forward again.

After Lu Chen saw this young man's methods yesterday, he arranged for the surrounding streets and intersections to be guarded early this morning. Lu Chen wanted to find the young man's residence, otherwise even if he found him for a while, he would run away if he was not careful.

As for running out of Lu Chen's control, Lu Chen was not worried at all, according to the clues provided by the two government soldiers before, Lu Chen had already sent people to observe one-third of Minzhou City.

Lu Chen didn't waste time, according to the direction that the person pointed out just now, he continued to rush towards the next intersection, and after coming to another intersection, there were still people standing there, and when he saw Lu Chen chasing after him, this person immediately pointed out a direction to Lu Chen.

After that, Lu Chen can be said to have chased all the way down. But gradually, he found himself in the slums of Minzhou City.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, there were rich areas, commercial areas and slum areas, which were not specially divided when the city was built, but evolved into the current pattern with the development of the city.

At this time, Lu Chen had already come to the junction between the slum and the ordinary residents, and the rooms here began to become dilapidated, even as if no one had lived in them for many years. But it seems that the boy did not stop here.

Lu Chen only hesitated slightly, then continued to chase, he secretly said in his heart: Could it be that this young man grew up in a slum and went to steal because he couldn't eat enough? ”

However, Lu Chen still couldn't figure it out, every time this young man ran, he would bring a roast chicken or other things, even if he was almost caught several times because of these things, he didn't throw it away once.

With doubts, Lu Chen continued to chase forward, and finally, when Lu Chen came to the middle of the slum, a man standing at the intersection walked over to Lu Chen quickly, and said respectfully, "General, we have found that kid's residence, just over here in the second courtyard!" As he spoke, the man pointed to Lu Chen to the courtyard where the young man had entered.

Lu Chen followed his finger and looked in that direction, only to see that there was a dilapidated courtyard with three houses in it. However, two of them have clearly collapsed, and only the house in the middle is barely holding on.

Lu Chen followed the man into the small courtyard that seemed to be uninhabitable, the courtyard door had rotted, Lu Chen exerted a little force, and a rotten wooden board suddenly fell on it.
