"I'm going to help." Stone Lock said and stood up.

Hu Bolt hesitated, Shi Suo had already held the short knife in his hand, and jumped out of the window, Hu Bolt was afraid that Shi Lock would lose, grabbed his hat and put it on his head, and jumped out of the window.

At this time, the thief had disappeared, Shi Suo took a few big steps, quickly crossed the soldiers, the wind under his feet, turned the corner of the wall, and soon found the lame thief in front, the thief turned around, and his right hand was raised back, Shi Suo saw that he was ready when he turned back, flashed, and a stone flew by.

The thief was very alert, and found that the person who came behind was not good, and when the stone lock chased closer, his body turned, and he held a dagger in his hand, and stabbed at the stone lock, and the stone lock made a big bend, and just dodged the dagger, the thief's punch came to the front, and hurriedly turned around and twisted his waist, which could be dodged.

"Sure enough, it's a master." Stone lock heart road.

At this time, the thief also saw that Shi Suo was not given for nothing, and quickly jumped back, but forgot that he had a wound on his leg, and his body staggered, and Shi Suo took the opportunity to a hungry tiger to pounce on food, but fortunately the thief was not able to dodge and failed to dodge, and the two fell to the ground together.

At this time, Hu Shuan and the other people chased after him, and a young man in civilian clothes and two soldiers, together with Hu Shuan, held down the thief with all hands and feet. The bald old man ran over and shouted, "Tie up, tie up." ”

After a while, he finally tied up the thief, and when he took a closer look, the thief was on the mountain festival, and the suspicious thin man he saw was particularly impressed by his big bulging eyes.

The young man in civilian clothes who participated in the arrest of the thief came over and bowed his hand to the stone lock and the bolt, "Thank you for your help." ”

"Nothing." Shi Suo said.

The bald old man said in an official tone: "Jiang Sheng, send the thief to the police station, and be a bold thief, it is really bold and reckless." ”

"Yes, yes." The young man promised: "I will do it immediately, and immediately inform the county magistrate, interrogate you overnight, and at the same time send additional guards to protect your safety." ”

"yes, okay."

When Hu Xuan heard that this young man's name was "Jiang Sheng", he was stunned for a moment, walked over and said to the young man: "Sir, let me ask, we are here to find a person who works in the county government office, called Jiang Sheng, I don't know if you know him." ”

"My name is Jiang Sheng, are you looking for me?" The man was also stunned.

"Oh, that's great," Hu Xuan said, "We were entrusted by Sister Jiang Yuniang to come to Jiang Sheng." ”

The young man hurriedly pulled the two to the side and said, "Is there something wrong with my sister?" I'm what you're looking for. ”

Hu Xuan looked left and right, there were many people, and the matter of those gold bars was obviously inconvenient to deliver at this time, Jiang Sheng was also very clever, and said: "In this way, I have too much official business now, you will go to No. 28 Lijia Hutong tomorrow night, and find me at my house, is it convenient?" ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

Hu Shi and the others returned to the store, and Hu Xuan said: "You are a little reckless in this move, it is best for us to hide our traces, why let that thin thief see us?" ”

Shi Suo disagreed, "Catch him, you will be spared the trouble, let him run, there will be trouble in the future." Then he praised the thief's martial arts, "The thin thief's martial arts are really nothing, if he hadn't injured his leg, I would never be an opponent, that's it, lame on one leg, if there is no one to help, it is difficult to say what the result will be." ”

"Didn't you say he fell and injured his leg and foot, very ordinary?"

"No, his leg must have been wounded by a gun, not a fall."

In the evening of the next day, Hu Shu and Shi Suo found No. 28 Lijia Hutong, Jiang Sheng was waiting at home, and after they exchanged their names, Jiang Sheng made tea and poured water for Hu Shi and the others, and was very enthusiastic and asked, "Is my sister okay?" I haven't seen her in a year. ”

Hu Xuan said: "It seems very good, we and your sister are just one side." "Talking about the time I saved the child with Jiang Yuniang.

"Oh, so that's the case," Jiang Sheng said, "the two of them used to be such enthusiastic people, which made people admire, and now in these years, people's hearts are not ancient, and it is very rare to be able to do good deeds and help others like this, no wonder my sister and you hit it off at first sight." ”

Hu Xuan took out the gold bar from his arms and handed it to Jiang Sheng, "Your sister asked us to carry these things, and now that we have them, we can also make a difference." ”

Jiang Sheng looked at the gold bars, then at the Hu bolt and the stone lock, and said: "You and my sister have a relationship, my sister can give the gold bars to the two of you with confidence, it seems that her vision is reasonable, I have admired my sister's quick-witted, calm and generous since I was a child, it seems that I can't keep up with her in my life." ”

Hu Xuan laughed, "If you are entrusted by others, you must be loyal to people, these simple things are not worth boasting about." ”

Jiang Sheng put away the gold bar, and Hu Xuan wanted to leave, but Jiang Sheng shook his head, "Mr. Hu, Mr. Shi, there is one thing I have to tell you, this matter, I think it is very important. Don't say that our two sisters and brothers already regard you as confidants, even the people of the world on both sides, and I will not stand idly by. ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

Jiang Sheng refilled the tea for the two of them, sat down and said, "Do you know who the thief that Mr. Shi caught last night?" ”

"I don't know."

"His name is Flying Mountain Monkey, he is known as one of the Four Lakes and Four Wonders, and he is as famous as my sister, and he is also our old acquaintance, but my sister is very disgusted with him and never interacts with him."

"Is that him?" Hu Shuan stood up and paced a few steps around the room.

Jiang Sheng said: "He is not only good at martial arts, but also good at raising animals, sometimes, stalking others, he will send a monkey, and the monkey makes him very human, stalking and stealing, omnipotent." ”

"No wonder," Hu Xuan and Shi Suo suddenly realized, Shi Suo patted his head, "That's right, we have seen monkeys a few times, and we have long been puzzled, it turns out that this is really the case, I have to say, although this flying monkey is not a good person, but it really has two times, and the ability is admirable."

"Well," Jiang Sheng nodded, "This morning, the county magistrate didn't dare to slack off because he couldn't afford to provoke the distinguished guest who came yesterday, and immediately interrogated the flying monkey with the police chief, and I was a clerk next to me, but halfway through the trial, the distinguished guest came in person." ”

"What about the guests? Who is it? Is it the balding old man we saw last night? Hu Shu asked.

Jiang Sheng said: "Yes, he is a person next to Prime Minister Duan Qirui, surnamed Yu, of course he is arrogant here, how can the county magistrate afford to provoke him?" ”

"Oh," Shi Suo said, "I said, I live in an inn, why do you send so many soldiers to protect it, it turns out to be such a big deal." ”

Jiang Sheng nodded, "As soon as he arrived, he asked the county magistrate and the police chief to step aside, and he personally interrogated, and I continued to be a clerk, and I slowly heard the clues." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Sheng stopped, walked out of the house, inspected it, and then returned to the house, and smiled at Hu Shi and the others: "It's not a big mistake to be careful, this matter is important, I'm afraid that the wall has ears." ”

"It should." Hu Xuan said.

Jiang Sheng sat down, lowered his voice, and said: "That flying mountain monkey confesses, the purpose of his coming here is to follow a few people, these people are here to hunt for treasures, that treasure is unusual, it is the legendary heirloom seal." ”

"Hmm." Hu Shu nodded.

Jiang Sheng continued: "The Flying Mountain Monkey said that those people had a treasure map, and they came to get the jade seal according to the map, so he made a yellow finch behind and quietly embellished it behind. Mr. Yu asked him: How do you know that they are here to get the seal? How to know the treasure map? The flying monkey said that he was employed by the former president Yuan Shikai's subordinates, when Yuan Shikai was alive, he secretly formed a treasure hunting group, the goal was to find this missing national seal, Yuan Shikai became the emperor, because the people of the whole country are strongly opposed, very isolated, so he wants to use this national seal to enhance his prestige, saying that he is the emperor is the mandate of heaven, in order to convince the people of the world. ”

Hu Xuan couldn't help but scolded: "He acted perversely, the sky is angry and the people are resentful, can he redeem the people's resentment by relying on a national seal?" It's a dream. ”

Jiang Sheng smiled, "That's right, those in power don't care about the people, and they will inevitably perish, how can a seal save it?" But Yuan Shikai didn't think so, he came to that point, thinking that he was supreme and could achieve whatever he wanted, but he had reached the point where his desire was clouded. ”

Hu Xuan and Shi Suo both nodded in agreement, and Shi Suo asked, "What else did the flying monkey say?" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "The flying mountain monkey said that they have gone through hard work, and after several searches for clues, they have never found anything, but by mistake, they have found several other national treasures, there are two jade Ruyi, one jade cong, and one Tianhuang seal, but one day he was drunk, but he accidentally lost these things, who stole them, and I still haven't figured it out." ”

"Hahaha." Stone Lock laughed.

Jiang Sheng also laughed, thinking that he was laughing at the mistake of the flying mountain monkey, and continued: "The flying mountain monkey kept complaining when he was interrogated, and Yuan Shikai's subordinates thought that he had swallowed things privately, and almost turned their faces with him. Later, Yuan Shikai died, his subordinates fell and scattered, and this group of treasure hunting groups had no financial resources, so they also dispersed, leaving him alone, who originally wanted to go back to his hometown, but he didn't want to encounter an incident that made him have a turnaround. He said that that day he met a group of people, escorting two young people, going south to hunt for treasure, he quietly bought one of the small minions, only to find out the real situation, it turned out that this group of people was Premier Duan's subordinates, it was to find the national seal, the two young people, knew the situation of the treasure map, so they were captured by Premier Duan's people and ordered to take the treasure. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he couldn't stop scolding these people for being stupid. ”

"Oh? Why? Hu Xuan asked with interest.

"The Flying Mountain Monkey said that since those two young men have a treasure map, they should wait for them to take the treasure back, and then take it back, so that they can go to hunt for treasure like escorting prisoners, if they talk nonsense, or would rather bend than bend, you will take a fart."

Hu Shuan and Shi Suo both laughed.
