Forty thieves

It's the dead of night again, Zhang Qingqing is still unable to sleep, the person who suddenly fell from the sky last night disturbed her thoughts, making her have a trace of joy and a trace of expectation, he is still thinking about her, so, will he come tonight? She thought of the noise last night, and couldn't help but be a little worried, was Brother Yang discovered? Judging from his skills, he shouldn't be caught, right? She was locked in this room, she couldn't walk out half a step, she didn't know what was happening outside, although it was spring, she felt like a long winter, and he was a ray of warm sun, a trace of east wind in this winter, so that her life was no longer cold, no longer barren.

She waited for a long time, just when she was a little tired of waiting and felt that there was no hope, suddenly there was a soft sound from the window, Zhang Qingqing suddenly trembled, and the great joy overwhelmed her, she hurriedly put on her shoes, walked quickly to the window, and asked half-sweetly and half-shyly: "Brother Yang, is it you?" ”

It was quiet outside the window, and the night was like sleeping.

Zhang Qingqing didn't give up, and shouted softly: "Brother Yang......"

The girl's murmur was so gentle in this night, but the silence outside the window finally disappointed her, and she whispered as if she was just saying it to herself: "Brother Yang, whether you are here or not, whether you have a fate or no fate in this life, I am content." ”

Outside the window, there is still only the sound of the wind blowing, the insects are singing, the flowers are blooming, and the girl's thoughts can only be told to the night. Zhang Qingqing stayed in front of the window for a while, seeing that there was no movement outside the window, his heart gradually lost incomparably, the voice just now may be the wind, or his own illusion, since he decided to forget each other, no matter how long the lotus root is broken, it will only prolong the sadness, then, it is better not to see each other, although not to see, but you will always be in my heart. Zhang Qingqing moved to the bed step by step, wrapped herself in a blanket, gradually breathed steadily, and fell asleep.

Outside the window, three people heard that there was no sound in the room, so they moved away lightly, the night was like a ghost, and the lanterns dancing in the wind were like the eyes of monsters, making this prefect's back house look mysterious and strange. The night watchman also turned a blind eye to the three of them, and the three of them walked without saying a word, and walked out of the backyard without much effort, and it didn't take long for Zhang Hansheng's study to be lit up.

Under the light, Zhang Hansheng looked a little tired, his always resolute face showed a trace of dazedness, but soon, this dazed disappeared, only cold and resolute, Ding Si stood at the door, his face was also thoughtful, he exhaled a long breath, as if to suppress the troubles in his heart, Zhu Keyong's slender figure was stretched by the light, he looked at Ding Si for a while, and Zhang Hansheng for a while, but he wanted to say something. The three of them waited quietly for a long time, and finally Zhang Hansheng opened his mouth to break the silence, he cleared his throat, and there was a categorical meaning in his voice: "The little girl is spoiled by me, and it is my goddaughter who has no way to let her do something private." However, I guess she was confused for a while, and was deceived by someone outside, this matter is related to the reputation of the little girl's boudoir, and I implore Ding Zhu to keep quiet. He said as he bowed to Ding Si.

Ding Si hurriedly dodged sideways, stopped him with his hand, and said, "Master Zhang doesn't need to be so polite, Ding Si will definitely keep his mouth shut about this matter." ”

Zhu Keyong's voice rang out: "Ding Zhu, today you said that you suspect that a person is the person who upset Miss, but you have to listen to Miss shouting that person's name outside the window to be sure, we just heard that there seems to be a 'foreign' word in that person's name, I wonder if you can doubt whether the adult suspects whether that person is the right person?" ”

Ding Si's expression was complicated: "There is some connection." ”

Hearing Ding Si say this, Zhang Hansheng asked impatiently, "Who is that person?" ”

Ding Si didn't speak, the lights in the room were clearly off, the candlelight jumped and emitted orange light, his face was very soft in the candlelight, and his long eyelashes cast a hanging shadow on his eyelids, just when Zhang Hansheng and Zhu Keyong thought he was going to sleep, they finally heard his voice with a hint of loneliness: "Wang Zhiyang." ”

As soon as this name came out, Zhu Keyong couldn't help but gasp: "How could it be him?" ”

Ding Si hurriedly asked, "Master Zhu has heard of this name?" ”

Before Zhu Keyong could answer, Zhang Hansheng said with a wry smile: "Last winter, a notice was issued above, asking me to assist in the arrest of two Jiangyang thieves, one of whom is Wang Zhiyang. When he had finished speaking, he shut his mouth and said no more words. Zhu Keyong took the words and said slowly: "In October last year, the Fujian political envoy Ma sent an official document, saying that there were two thieves in Fuzhou to cooperate with each other, steal the rich businessman Zhao Chengen's family of 4,000 taels of silver, and steal the treasure bottle handed down by the prince of the government, these two thieves are extremely cunning, Fuzhou Mansion caught them several times, but they were all slipped away, because Fuzhou could not stay any longer, these two people fled to Quanzhou, Zhang also made people secretly watch out after receiving the official document, and sure enough, they found the traces of the two, At that time, Lord Zhang sent more than 20 masters of the fast house to ambush, and wanted to capture the two alive, but the two thieves were very brave, although the two were outnumbered, and one even hung the lottery, but still let them escape. We sent people to secretly investigate, but we didn't find any trace of these two people, originally thought that the two had fled to other places, but we didn't expect them to hide in Quanzhou City. ”

Zhang Hansheng gritted his teeth and said: "That Wang Zhiyang must have hated me for making people arrest him, so he hit Qingqing with his idea, and he really had a poisonous mind." ”

Ding Si was moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask again: "Who is the other person besides the ocean?" ”

Zhu Keyong replied: "There is another person named Feng Yang, who makes a good secret weapon, these two people cooperate seamlessly, one person controls the wind, one person steals, Master Ma clearly said in the official document, these two people have committed many crimes in Fujian, but unfortunately these two people have not been caught in various places." ”

Hearing the name Feng Yang, Ding Si couldn't help frowning, but he thought about it before he said indifferently: "But just by Ling Qianjin's title, it doesn't necessarily mean that person is Wang Zhiyang, for the sake of prudence, please ask Master Zhang to have a long talk with the young lady, let her make it clear, if, if that person was Wang Zhiyang last night......" He stopped, and said after a while: "Although these two people have done a lot of crimes, I just don't know if the case of the loss of the prefect's seal was done by them?" There is no evidence that he was responsible. As soon as Zhang Hansheng wanted to speak, he heard Ding Si say again: "If it is a case done by Feng Yang and Wang Zhiyang, then what is Han Yi responsible for taking this matter down?" ”

Zhang Hansheng and Zhu Keyong listened to it with a smile, and their faces were slightly unnatural. Zhu Keyong hurriedly said: "The top priority now is to catch Feng Yang and Wang Zhiyang, as for whether they did the case, the first instance will be tried." ”

Zhang Hansheng also hurriedly said: "These two people are slippery people, we sent so many people and didn't catch them, since the golden knife is here, please also ask Ding to help quickly, Zhang is grateful here." ”

Ding Si drooped his eyes under the light, and at this time, the candle flame suddenly jumped open, bursting into a light show, which frightened Zhang Hansheng and Zhu Keyong in this night. Ding Si's voice sounded at this time: "Since this is the case, let's catch Feng Yang and Wang Zhiyang first, and listen to their confessions." ”
