Chapter 9: Clever Tricks
More and more people gathered around, and many people started to talk about it, blocking the street for a while.
Wu Zhutou frowned and looked at these people, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was telling the truth.
"Bring it back to the yamen for a good trial!" Wu Zhutou said.
Instead of arguing on the street, it is better to bring them all back for interrogation.
Ji Yanning said: "Don't be so troublesome, I have a way to know who the real thief is." ”
Wu Zhutou paused and asked, "What method?"
Ji Yanning glanced at the two gray-clothed men, smiled slightly, and said, "Take a hundred steps as a distance, see which of them is slow, and whoever is a thief." ”
The fat man on the side sneered: "What kind of method is this!
The people who watched the excitement listened to Ji Yanning's words, and they all shook their heads, what kind of method is this?
Ji Yanning turned his head to look at Wu Zhutou, and his determined look made him slightly stunned.
"Now that the winner is decided, you'd better give a reason!" Wu Zhutou looked at Ji Yanning so determined, and according to her method, he asked his subordinates to clear a path of a hundred steps.
The people on the street watched, but they were not afraid that these two people would run away halfway.
Two people stood side by side, one holding his arm high, and he began to give the command.
Although the two men in gray felt that this method was very ridiculous, in order to clear their suspicions, they could only follow the instructions of the head catcher.
"Let's go, run!"
Before the quick hand and voice fell, Li Dafu had already rushed out first, and the other man in gray was stunned, blushed, and hurriedly chased after him.
Although Li Dafu rushed, he was caught up in an instant.
Everyone saw that Li Dafu was running in front, but he was soon caught up by the man behind him, grabbed his shoulder, and tried to stop him.
Li Dafu originally thought that he had the advantage, but he didn't expect this person to interfere with him, and he was even more angry, the two of them were entangled and fought, but it was very similar to the scene of catching the thief just now.
When Wu Zhutou saw this scene, he finally understood Ji Yanning's intentions.
He had the two men come forward and separate.
"Catch a thief, how can you catch a thief if you don't run faster than a thief?" Wu Zhutou said to Li Dafu coldly, "What else do you have to say!"
The people who were watching the excitement on the side reacted, and it turned out that this was what they meant to let them run faster than anyone else, and they all pointed at Li Dafu and scolded.
"I almost thought he was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be a money thief!"
"Looking honest, I didn't expect to do such a thing!"
The people on the side scolded while letting the rotten vegetable leaves in their hands to his body, Li Dafu wanted to dodge, but his body was firmly caught by the arrestees, and he couldn't move.
The fat man who spoke for Li Dafu just now saw that the situation was not good, and was about to walk away, but Ziyu's horizontal hand blocked his way.
"You're in the same league as him! Don't even want to run!" Ziyu said indignantly.
Just now, this fat man said that he had a lot to do with Li Dafu!
The fat man didn't pay attention to Ziyu, pushed her away, pulled her legs and ran towards a small alley.
As soon as he saw the situation, he immediately chased after him, but there were too many people around, and by the time they pushed through the crowd, the fat man had already disappeared.
Ziyu was a little remorseful: "I almost caught him!"
Ji Yanning said: "It doesn't matter, he will come back." ”
Ziyu looked at her young lady in confusion, not understanding why she said this.
Ji Yanning didn't explain, but stepped forward and said to Wu Zhutou: "Thank you, my lord." ”
Wu Zhutou glanced at Ji Yanning, this girl is not very old, but she is extraordinarily calm and calm when encountering problems, and her bearing is not something that ordinary girls can have.
His face softened a little, and he just said, "It's a matter of duty." ”
He asked Li Dafu to take him back to the yamen and caught Li Dafu, and he was not afraid that he would not confess his accomplices.
Seeing that Wu Zhutou took the people away, the people on the street also dispersed.
The man in gray stepped forward and said to Ji Yanning, "Thank you, Miss, for breaking the siege." ”
Ji Yanning's eyes crooked a little smile: "Obviously, you helped me catch the thief, it should be me Xie Gongzi." ”
The man in gray didn't look very old, about the age of a weak crown, a scholar, a little tired on his face, and didn't have much expression.
"It's just a gesture, you can't thank you, the girl will be careful in the future. He said, "Then I'll go first." ”
With that, he turned around and left.
Ji Yanning whispered to Ziyu: "Go and give him ten taels of silver, it should be regarded as a favor to repay him." ”
Ziyu nodded and quickly chased after her.
Ji Yanning looked at Ziyu's back, she suddenly felt that Youdao's eyes had been staring at her, and when she looked up, she didn't find anything.
Ziyu soon returned: "Miss, that boy refused to ask for silver, saying that it was just a trivial matter, and he didn't need anything to repay the favor." ”
Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "That's it." ”
She has never liked to owe others, and her grandfather said that human favors can sometimes become a burden to herself.
"Is there a medicine hall nearby?" Ji Yanning asked Ziyu.
Ziyu said: "There is a medicine hall under the name of Baochang Ji, and the medicines in the Ji Mansion are all taken there. ”
Ji Yanning remembered that although Baochang Ji's main business was silk, there were also many other industrial shops under its name, and there were also medical halls, but the scale was not large.
"Lead the way. ”
Ji Yanning walked forward with Ziyu, but she felt that her eyes fell on her, and she turned her head to look, but she still didn't find anything.
In the teahouse not far away, a man in a white brocade robe was watching Ji Yanning's departing back from the window of the private room on the second floor.
"This little girl is very alert. The corners of his lips curled in a perfect arc, and a slight smile was shouted in his cold eyes.
The guard standing beside him said, "But she doesn't seem to have martial arts, I'm afraid that the man just now won't let her go easily." ”
Rong Che picked up the tea on the table and took a sip and said, "With her sensitivity, how could she easily put herself in danger. ”
"Master, do we still need to follow Gongzi Qin?" the guard asked.
Rong Che said: "No, no one will know his identity when he arrives in Jiangzhou, and no one will trouble him." ”
The guard bowed his head and asked no more.
The fall of the Qin family was self-inflicted, how could Qin Jue not know, naturally he would not mention the past again.
It's just that he didn't expect that Qin Jue had just arrived in Jiangzhou, and he bravely caught the thief.
It's so upright that he really doesn't look like the son of a corrupt official.
