Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wu Meiniang is missing
Early the next morning, the residents near Xufu who were attacked by the loud voices of the previous night coincidentally found the source of the noise emitted late at night.
Not long after, a group of people got the story of the theft of Xu's mansion, and learned that last night's roar was because of Xu Mancheng's tragic cry because of the theft of the night pearl. In the face of such news, everyone laughed one after another, their hearts were full of pleasure, and they didn't care about disturbing Qingmeng last night.
Xu Mancheng is arrogant, bullying good and afraid of evil, and his interpersonal relationship is not very good. For the theft in his house, the schadenfreude should occupy the vast majority, only a small number of people are not concerned about their own high-mindedness, only a few, a very small number of people are aggrieved for him.
The reason for the theft also spread among the mouthy subordinates, and the name of the thief finally spread in Yangzhou for the first time.
People who learned about cause and effect were all dumbfounded, thieves have seen a lot, but He has never encountered such a thief. Leave a short note to inform you before you start, and leave a short note again after leaving.
This is a thief, and he does this part, and he is worthy of sticking the self-proclaimed thief.
That extreme self-confidence, the means of coming and going without a trace, a generalissimo among thieves deservedly.
Originally, some people doubted the real surname of this matter, but after Xu Mancheng woke up with the doctor, he immediately cried and cried, ran to the government to report to the official, and sued the "thief" to the government. This is enough to win the trust of the public, and the government arrests thieves, which is justified. But who is the thief? Where are the thieves? What does it look like?
Xu Mancheng couldn't answer the three questions at all, he didn't know when the thief who left the post pasted the short note on the back of his heart, let alone when he took the night pearl away and left the short note. As a party, he didn't even see the figure, and he didn't know what to do, how could the people from the government arrest him?
All of a sudden, the whole of Yangzhou began to discuss this "thief handsome", and the rumors were boiling, most of them were praising this thief for his ability and good means, but there were not many people who said bad things about him. It's because Xu Mancheng is too unpopular.
Guangyuan Inn!
This is one of the best inns in Yangzhou, and Wu Meiniang and Yun Zhuo are staying in this inn.
Wu Meiniang opened her eyes lazily, thinking about Du He's whereabouts last night, and recalling all kinds of memories before her disappearance in her mind like a movie, trying to find some clues from them, but unfortunately, she thought about it for most of the night, but she never found anything, and when she fell asleep, it was already around the early hours of the morning.
When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already dawn.
Unhurriedly, he got up to freshen up, and when he walked out of the room, he found that Yun Zhuo had been waiting for a long time, but his expression did not change in any way.
Seeing her coming, Yun Zhuo stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mei Niang, this is the most famous bun in Yangzhou, with a unique taste, and it is guaranteed that it cannot be bought in Chang'an." ”
Wu Meiniang walked directly past him, regarded him as a passerby, or even a telephone pole, don't pay attention to it, didn't even look at it, sat down directly, called Xiao Er, and ordered breakfast.
Yun Zhuo stood awkwardly, his expression on his face was blue and white, he argued for a while, and did it opposite Wu Meiniang: "Miss Wu, this bun tastes really good, I don't believe you can taste it!" ”
Hearing him call "Miss Wu", Wu Meiniang glanced at him, took one casually, and chewed it slowly.
At this time, the adjacent table was talking about the theft of Xu's mansion last night, and happened to talk about the notice of the thief.
Wu Meiniang was directly stunned, her ears were erect, and her originally listless eyes flashed with a clear divine light in an instant, and her face suddenly showed great joy...... The original Wu Meiniang is back!
It turned out that Wu Meiniang knew that the so-called thief was Du He.
Of course, Du He didn't tell her, but she had to remember one thing, she would rather doubt whether the earth was round than Wu Meiniang's IQ.
When she was in Luoyang, Wu Meiniang had already seen Du He's elusive light skills. Although she didn't tell anyone, she will never forget what happened that night in her life. After the reunion in Chang'an, Wu Meiniang told Du He about her thoughts, and said the hatefulness of the Helan family, and Du He's unhappy look for them, she also remembered the bottom of her heart.
The next day, all the Helan houses that couldn't stand her eldest sister Wushun were stolen one after another, so that a thief who could fly the eaves and walk the wall, and stole all the treasures.
Wu Meiniang immediately understood that this was Du He avenging them.
At the same time, he naturally knew that the thief who was in a lot of trouble at that time was Du He, but he was worried that this news would cause inconvenience to Du He, so no one revealed it, and he kept this unknown secret in his heart and shared it alone.
Now that he accidentally heard the news of the thief, he immediately realized that Du He was in Yangzhou, and this post was one of his methods to deal with the Helan family, and he said: "Brother Du's disappearance should be ordered to deal with confidential matters, he came to Yangzhou, and I also arrived in Yangzhou, is this considered a fate to meet thousands of miles away?" ”
Thinking about it like this, I felt a little embarrassed and ashamed, and smiled sweetly.
The Allure smiled, and the eyes of Yun Zhuo opposite him fell, and he also showed ecstasy: he thought that his heart had finally relied on this love bun to impress the unsmiling beauty in front of him, and he got rid of his arrogant coat and became shy. handed over the remaining buns and said with a smile: "Miss Wu, it's delicious, you can eat more!" ”
Wu Meiniang has been in a bad mood and has a very poor appetite because she doesn't know Du He's safety in the past few months, and she usually eats just casually to fill her stomach, but now she gets the news that Du He is safe, and her appetite is also better, she reached out with a smile and took the bun handed by Yun Zhuo, and ate happily, remembering the figure of yesterday, and said in her heart: "Since you are in Yangzhou, the back I saw yesterday may be Brother Du...... I knew I should have called him then. ”
Thinking like this, there was a little regret in my heart, and my mouth pursed, but after thinking about it, I said secretly: "Brother Du, coming to Jiangnan in disguise must be burdened with a heavy responsibility, how can I expose his identity and harm him?" Knowing that he is safe, I am satisfied! It would be nice to be able to see him. Brother Du is in Yangzhou, why don't you ......" her expression moved, and said with a smile: "Yun Gongzi, I don't know if you will have time to accompany me to the street today?" ”
Yun Zhuo only felt that his bones were crispy, and the whole person was fluttering, and he hurriedly said: "What the martial girl wants, how dare Yun Zhuo disobey!" ”
Wu Meiniang chuckled: I thought that if we could meet on the street, it would be good if it was just a passing by. As for Yun Zhuo, she didn't think about it at all. Whether this guy is dead or alive, what does it have to do with her, there is only one Duhe in her heart, and other men really can't enter her eyes.
"Shhh ”
Du He twisted his neck, woke up, only felt dizzy, extremely uncomfortable, got up and dipped some water from the basin in the corner of the house, patted his face, still felt that his head hurt like a pinprick, and said in his heart: "What's the matter, is it sick?" ”
glanced at the night pearl on the bed, suddenly remembered that the night pearl had extremely heavy radiation, patted his head, and shouted: "You deserve it, how can you forget this!" ”
Last night's operation was extremely successful, and when I came back, I didn't know where to put this bag of night pearls. This bag of night pearls is calculated according to the RMB of the future, which is really valuable and cannot be thrown away.
After thinking about it, Suo surnamed threw the night pearl on the bed, which is also good to take care of, and by the way, he tasted the taste of sleeping with the jewelry on his pillow, and he felt good at the time, but he forgot that the night pearl has a large radiation, this thing.
Unexpectedly, it was just one night, Du He couldn't stand it faintly, while rubbing his head, he had a heartfelt respect for Xu Mancheng, he couldn't stand it for a night, but he slept with the night pearl for more than ten or twenty years, this ability to resist all poisons, there is only one person in the world.
After resting for a while, Du He felt better, and went out directly with a large bag of night pearls.
Du He turned a blind eye to the sensation caused by the "thief", and looked like he had nothing to do with him, just pretending to sleep in the room for a night, and didn't know anything.
In the Tang Dynasty, the law treated the people very leniently and did not interfere with the basic life of the people.
Even if they knew that the thieves were in the city, they would not raid and make trouble from house to house, let alone arrest people indiscriminately, search their packages, and cause panic. At most, they blocked the four gates, searched for the belongings of the people who came in and out, and then the officials in charge of handling the matter made a secret visit to arrest the real culprit.
So Du He naturally brought a bag of stolen goods to the street, and no one would suspect that the bag of things he was carrying was the Night Pearl.
In addition, his face was calm, it didn't matter, there was no feeling of being a thief at all, which made people even more suspicious.
Passing through West Street, Du Heyi went to the end of West Street to find Huangfu Haohua: in order to better convey the news, Du He asked Huangfu Haohua to open taverns in major cities in the south of the Yangtze River as a stronghold, so as to better communicate and assign tasks.
Yangzhou is not in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is the largest metropolis in the southeast, and it is also one of the key survey objects, so there is also a newly opened tavern.
Du He walked quickly, but suddenly saw Wu Meiniang in front of him slowly walking towards this side, and there was the handsome guy from yesterday beside him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, is this Yangzhou really that small? He wanted to find a place to avoid, but when he saw that he was in the middle of the street and had nowhere to avoid, the surname Suo pretended not to care and walked over directly.
The two passed by.
Duhe avoided her gaze.
Wu Meiniang only glanced at him, like a stranger.
But the corners of her eyes were already smiling, and she was already content when she saw her, so she smiled contentedly and said to Yun Zhuo beside her: "Go to Hangzhou to find my eldest sister!" ”
Du He didn't know that Wu Meiniang recognized him at a glance, and he was a little lucky, and after making sure that no one was following, he walked into the tavern at the end of the street.
The tavern is not big, and because it is remote, there are few people, and Huangfu Haohua and Ba Yuxing have been waiting in the hotel for a long time.
