Chapter 35: The Thief

Ji Santong has never seen this kind of thief.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion is notoriously luxurious, and even stealing a water bowl in it is worth more than the plaque.

He thought that it was someone who dared to break into the eldest princess's mansion, but he didn't expect that person to make a fuss and rob such a little thing.

remembered that the man in black carried the door plaque and smashed it on his head before, obviously hearing the movement inside, he still grabbed the plaque and didn't let go, and kicked him a few times before leaving, and was stunned to tear off the door knocker.

Ji Santong couldn't wait to scold.

I don't know where the thief came from!

Han Shu's face was unpredictable, his eyes were not all good, and he could vaguely see some images through the black veil at night.

He looked up at the door, and saw that the place where the plaque had hung on the red gate was bare, with only two torn wooden frames remaining, and two black hollows on the red gate.

Even if he was like Han Shu, he was speechless for a while.

"What about people?" Han Shu asked.

Ji Santong was embarrassed: "I ran away." ”

Seeing Han Shu raise his eyes to look at him, Ji Santong hurriedly said, "My subordinates have already sent someone to chase him." ”

Han Shu reached out and touched the torn place on the door meaninglessly, and then led the person into the eldest princess's mansion.

When the people below faced him with coldness, they were all sweating profusely waiting beside him.

After a long time, the pursuers returned, and when they saw the man sitting on the top, they wanted to hang their heads into the ground.

"What about people?" Ji Santong asked.

The man whispered, "Run." ”

He glanced at Han Shu, and his voice was a little lower,

"That person is very fast, and she is very light, and when she jumps on the roof with a plaque, she looks like she is on the flat ground, and when our people chase her to Ronghefang, they chase people away near Xiangshi Street."

"But our people are still guarding around there, and they must not have gone anywhere else, but they don't know which one they got into."

Xiangshi Street is the most prosperous place in Ronghefang, where many court officials and wealthy families in Beijing live, not to mention the mansions, and there are several lively halls.

If someone really hides it, if you want to kill people, you can only search them door to door.

Ji Santong had a swollen face on his head: "Lord Wang, do you want your subordinates to take someone to search?" ”

Han Shu twisted his fingers lightly: "You just said that the thief has great strength?" ”

Ji Santong nodded hurriedly, remembering that he was so suppressed by Yitong just now that he couldn't stand up, and said: "It's very big, at least I've never seen such a strong person before." ”

The gold ring on the door was directly inserted into it, and it was fixed directly to the door by molten gold.

The thief tore it off easily, and carried the plaque as if he were holding a piece of paper, and his body did not shake, and this strength was not a little bit great.

"Lord Wang, although the little thief is dressed in black and covered his face, I see that his eyes and body should be a woman, and he has no rules when he shoots, and he simply relies on his strength to resist the enemy, not like he has been seriously trained."

Ji Santong was also directly stunned by the initial moment, and after fainting from the cold and pain, he was constantly pressed and beaten later, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have even had the strength to fight back later.

Han Shu listened to Ji Santong's words, and suddenly remembered the person who had kicked him in the underground palace of the Emperor's Mausoleum.

There were two people who entered the underground palace that day, one of them had extremely weak steps, he should have never practiced, and the other had no internal strength and could walk smartly.

At that time, although he was confused, he vaguely saw that both of them were women, and one of them was extremely strong and extremely persistent about money.

Han Shu still remembered that when he closed his eyes, he grabbed the bead chain that the man had stolen, and the man reflexively beat him, with a posture of having to snatch things away, if he hadn't been pulled away by another person, that person might have really fought with him for the chain.

And tonight, the fact that this person carried a plaque and beat Ji Santong made Han Shu feel a strange sense of familiarity.

Greedy for money, powerful, and still a woman.

No matter how you think about it, it feels like a coincidence.

First is the Imperial Tomb Underground Palace, and then the Eldest Princess's Mansion......

Han Shu put his fingers on his knees and twisted them lightly, his face was dark and difficult to identify:

"Diao Yingwei and the people from Jingzhao Mansion went to Ronghefang together, and went door to door to find me and find the maids and slaves of each prefecture, and no one was allowed to let go."

……

Xie Yugui went to bed early at night, she was used to enjoying it, and her body was reluctant to suffer the slightest grievance.

After getting the silver in the Hou Mansion, the quilts and mattresses on the bed were replaced with the last brocade cotton, and lying on it was as comfortable as falling into the clouds.

At night, there seemed to be a strong wind outside, and the persimmon trees behind the house were rattling.

Xie Yugui turned over in a daze when he was half asleep and half awake, and wanted to change his position and continue to sleep, when he suddenly heard the shallow breathing by the window, and when he opened his eyes subconsciously, he suddenly met a pair of bright apricot eyes.

"Scared!"

Xie Yugui was so frightened that he retreated, and half of his three souls and seven spirits were lost.

When she saw Ah Lai, who was squatting on the edge of the bed with a lamp in her hand, she said with a smile:

"What are you doing, squatting here in the middle of the night without sleeping, looking at me, you want to scare me to death?"

Ah Lai held the lamp and candle, her little face was beaming with joy against the firelight, and when she saw Xie Yugui asking her, she smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Miss, gold." ”

"What gold?"

Xie Yugui sat on the bed with a puzzled face, stretched out his hand and pulled down the hair scattered on the side of his face, and before she could ask carefully, two things fell on the bed with a "bang", and then she watched her family reach out and drag a huge plaque next to her, and dragged it over and landed on the side of the bed.

Xie Yugui: "......"

She looked at the thing and froze.

The light was dim at night, and the candle was flickering constantly, and it was still a little backlit when it was held by Ah Lai, so that Xie Yugui could only vaguely see what kind of plaque it looked like.

Wait a minute...... Plaque?!

Xie Yugui got up in a hurry, snatched the lamp in Ah Lai's hand, and when he got close to the bed, he saw clearly the golden dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the plaque, and only felt a chill coming down from the top of his head, and even ran away with the only trace of sleepiness left.

She hurriedly looked down at the thing that Ah Lai had thrown on the bed just now, and saw the two red gold knockers with a piece of wood.

Xie Yugui looked confused and looked at Ah Lai in disbelief.

“…… What did you do? ”

Ah Lai smiled: "Gold, Miss likes it, Ah Lai grabbed it." ”

Xie Yugui swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "From the Eldest Princess's Mansion? ”

Ah Lai nodded happily, the hair on his head that had not been untied and tied up at random swayed up and down, like a dog biting a bone to please his master, his eyes were shining and looking at Xie Yugui, as if his tail was dangling back and forth, looking like he was begging for praise.

Thank you, pawn!
