The night was silent, but the silk village of Bao Cheong Kee was not peaceful, because of the theft for three consecutive nights, so the guards increased a lot, patrolling around the warehouse from time to time, for fear that there would be any abnormal movements.

A black shadow flashed from the top of the wall, like a flickering leaf in the night, and no one paid attention.

It's ridiculous that these people want to stop her.

Yuan Jiaojiao was sitting on a big tree not far away at this time, looking at the guards who came and went to patrol, and laughed in her heart.

She plucked a fruit from the tree and threw it at the wall not far away, hitting the tile with a cracking sound.

"Who's there!"

The guards heard the sound and walked towards it, not noticing a breeze behind them.

After a careful inspection, they found nothing, and they continued to strengthen the inspection, at this time Yuan Jiaojiao was hanging upside down under the eaves, watching these guards gradually move away, quietly opened the closed room window with a dagger, and flexibly got in.

When she entered the room, there was a locked door.

Only the person in charge of the property has the key to open this door, but for Yuan Jiaojiao, the matter of sliding the door and picking the lock is just a piece of cake.

She removed the hairpin from her head, inserted it into the keyhole and rotated it gently, and after a while, she heard a slight "click" and the lock opened.

Yuan Jiaojiao lowered her voice and slowly walked into the warehouse.

The treasury is in a basement, which is a lot of real money and treasures, although Baochang does business, a lot of money is stored in the bank, but the silk village will naturally set aside some in case of emergency.

Looking at the boxes of things in the warehouse, a hint of smugness flashed in Yuan Jiaojiao's eyes, and when she thought of Ji Yanning's deflated expression, she couldn't help but smile from the corners of her eyes.

She stepped forward and reached out to open the lock of the box, when suddenly a tingling pain came from her fingertips, and she suddenly withdrew her hand, realizing that her fingers were already oozing the size of a drop of blood.

Yuan Jiaojiao didn't expect such a change, she narrowed her eyes slightly, squatted down, and then saw that on the box outside, there was a small needle inserted in each keyhole, if you didn't check it carefully, you wouldn't have found it at all.

This is......

She suddenly had a bad premonition.

As a thief, she had the consciousness of a thief, she immediately stood up and walked outside, but as soon as she opened the door, there were already neat guards standing outside guarding the warehouse tightly, and standing at the front was Ji Yanning.

Yuan Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect to meet so soon.

At this time, she was wearing a black night dress, wearing a masked scarf, revealing only a pair of narrow and clear eyes, neatly tied up her hair, looking simple and capable, if hidden in the night, it would not be easy to be discovered, but now the room was brightly lit, and she had nowhere to hide.

Ji Yanning carefully looked at the man in black in front of him, but there was no movement.

She didn't move, Yuan Jiaojiao naturally didn't move, the two sides were in a stalemate, but they didn't relax at any time, looking for the best time to escape.

It's just that after a while, Ji Yanning spoke: "Take her down." ”

The guards drew their swords and gathered around in unison.

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at so many people, she definitely couldn't beat it, and the only way to do it was to escape, but when she was about to perform light skills, she found that she couldn't jump up, and she felt that her body was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

She suddenly remembered the needle in the underground warehouse just now!

The guards put their swords against her neck and grabbed her.

Ji Jiu stepped forward and tore off her masked towel, was slightly stunned, turned his head to Ji Yanning and said, "It's a female thief." ”

Ji Yanning and Steward Wu didn't expect that this thief with such a skillful modus operandi would be a woman.

Ji Yanning stepped forward, saw Yuan Jiaojiao's face, and frowned slightly: "It's you?"

Yuan Jiaojiao snorted coldly and did not speak.

She has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and since the death of her master, it is the first time she has missed.

No, for the third time.

The first two times were also because of Ji Yanning.

Steward Wu looked at them puzzled: "The eldest lady recognizes this female thief?"

"I've seen it in Hengcheng before, I thought it was just a thief, but I didn't expect it to be ...... Plum Blossom Thief?" Ji Yanning said truthfully, then frowned slightly, and commented, "This name is not very good. ”

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "You are really self-righteous as always. ”

Ji Yanning was not surprised to see her, and asked, "You already know my identity?"

Yuan Jiaojiao did not deny it: "Seeing that you are stupid and have a lot of money, come and borrow some." ”

She has been in Jiangzhou for a few days, Ji Yanning returned to Jiangzhou on the street, she saw it, thinking that the first two times were bad for her, so that she was hungry for another day, she thought about revenge, and found out that she was the owner of Baochang Ji, so she thought of robbing the financial recovery.

Ji Yanning chuckled: "It turns out that you are more stupid." I've never lent money to someone for no reason. ”

Yuan Jiaojiao snorted coldly, did not answer, became the king and lost the king, she admitted it if she lost, and then found a chance to escape.

Steward Wu stepped forward and said, "Miss, what is she going to do?"

Ji Jiu had already tied Yuan Jiaojiao with a rope, and she couldn't escape in front of so many people.

Ji Yanning walked in front of Yuan Jiaojiao and suddenly pondered.

Ji Jiu said: "I have long heard that this plum blossom god has secretly stolen countless people, and it is also a scourge to keep her, so let's hand it over to Lord Cen to deal with." ”

Steward Wu said: "This female thief has done a lot of work, and her ability to pick the lock is not small, even if she is pressed into the prison, I am afraid that she will not be able to trap her." ”

Ji Yanning pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "It's better to break her hamstrings, so that she won't be able to escape." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at Ji Yanning with wide eyes, but she didn't expect that she would say such a thing so indifferently when she looked delicate and weak.

She immediately said, "Don't! Please let me go!"

Ji Yanning asked, "Let the tiger return to the mountain?"

"I promise never to steal anything in the future!" Yuan Jiaojiao said anxiously, if she was really picked off and broke her hamstrings, this life would really be over!

Ji Yanning said: "Do you think I will believe your words?"

Yuan Jiaojiao cried with a sad face: "Please, I'm just a little thief, except for stealing a little money, I haven't done anything hurtful!"

Ji Jiu said indifferently on the side: "Isn't stealing things harmful?"

Yuan Jiaojiao cried: "I'm really just helpless, my parents died when I was a child, I was adopted by a thief, he only taught me to steal, if I didn't steal money, I could only starve to death, not to mention that I just steal rich people every time, even if they have less money, it's understandable." ”

Ji Yanning said lightly: "Even if it's the money of a rich family, it's not blown by the wind." ”

"I really know it's wrong!" Yuan Jiaojiao cried loudly, with a look of remorse, "As long as you let me go, you can be a cow and a horse, as long as the eldest lady rewards me with a mouthful of food!"

Yuan Jiaojiao's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and her face was sad.

If it weren't for the fact that he had seen her cunning true face a long time ago, Ji Yanning was afraid that she would probably really repent.

Ji Yanning half-squatted down and looked at her at eye level: "Are you really willing to stay by my side and be a cow and a horse?"

Yuan Jiaojiao nodded violently: "Really!"

As soon as her words fell, Ji Yanning's jaw was pinched by Ji Yanning, pinched her mouth open, and then was thrown into a pill, and then slapped her in the chest, making her swallow it inadvertently.

Ji Yanning looked at her with a smile on his face: "This is what you said." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao stopped her tears and looked at Ji Yanning with a surprised expression: "What did you give me?"

"Poison. Ji Yanning replied very seriously, "I'm afraid that you will run away, so I have to use poison to control it, and I will give you the antidote on time." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao glared at her angrily.

"You don't want to?" Ji Yanning said entangledly, "Then it's better to choose to break your hamstrings, right?"

"Nope. Yuan Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and said, "What I said, it naturally counts." ”

"Don't look at me with that resentful look like I've done something unforgivable. If you hadn't tried to teach me a lesson, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Ji Yanning turned his head to look at Ji Jiu, "Untie her, and then send her back to Ji's house." ”

Steward Wu stepped forward and said, "Miss, keep her by your side...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Ji Yanning said: "It's okay, it's just that I will never give others a second chance." ”

In this last sentence, her tone was as cold as ice, she glanced at Yuan Jiaojiao, and walked outside.

Yuan Jiaojiao was caught, naturally there was nothing to say, after several times, she knew that Ji Yanning was definitely not the kind of eldest lady who could only scare people, so she lowered her eyes and was silent.

Steward Wu sent someone to check the things in the warehouse, and only after counting them did he leave with confidence, and the silk village returned to calm, and the night was comfortable.

Early the next morning, Yuan Jiaojiao returned all the gold she had stolen before, but she didn't use it much.

Ji Jiu glared at her: "It's not good to do anything, you have to be a thief." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao pursed her lips with a pitiful expression: "I can only steal things, I can't starve to death." ”

Seeing her like this, Ji Jiu sighed, and he couldn't say anything, but said: "Now that the eldest lady has asked you to stay, you'd better not have any other thoughts, just be on an errand, you won't starve to death." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao nodded and silently followed behind Ji Jiu.

When she entered Ji Yanning's yard, Ji Yanning was practicing archery, and saw that Ji Yanning was different from others when practicing archery, others would always have targets when they practiced archery, but Ji Yanning didn't, and they all shot towards the same big tree.

Ji Yanning is not just standing in the same place, he will shoot in the direction of the tree trunk in different places, even if he is walking, he can shoot arrows to the same position.

Yuan Jiaojiao was not far from the big tree, and she could clearly see that there was a fist-sized mark on the trunk, and Ji Yanning's arrow had never shot anywhere else.

She was secretly shocked in her heart, she didn't expect this Ji Yanning's archery skills to be so good.

Ji Yanning had practiced for enough hours, so he handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Ying'er on the side, and turned his head to look at Yuan Jiaojiao.
