"It's dry, watch out for the candles." The watchman knocked on the paddle and walked through the streets and alleys.

Under the cover of night, two sneaky figures came under the outer wall of Cheng's mansion.

"Bamboo pole, it's still the old rule, you go first, I'll cover." The chubby man in black with a mask said.

"Fatty, don't run away by yourself, the last time I stole something, the master was beaten half to death, you dead fat man is good, you just slipped away with something." The man in black, known as the bamboo pole, looked back and said.

It turned out that these two people were habitual thieves in the neighborhood, known as the "Black Wind and Double Evil", and this time they received money from the eldest lady to set fire to Cheng's house. I saw that the bamboo pole was nine feet long, and at this time, the ape arm stretched, directly buckled the wall, and the foot was lightly on the fat man's shoulder, and he turned into the Cheng family's compound. Only the fat man was left alone to let out the wind outside the wall.

The bamboo pole went all the way, confirming the pattern of the Cheng family and the map given to him by the eldest lady, and at the same time constantly avoiding the patrol, he quickly touched the Cheng family up and down.

He deliberately poured a lot of extra oil in the treasury and Su Jinxiu's room, which was also specially ordered by the eldest lady, and it was obvious that the eldest lady already hated Su Jinxiu and Cheng Ying. The bamboo pole poured not a drop of the special fire oil left, and now it only takes a little spark, and the entire Cheng family will be reduced to ashes.

The bamboo pole clapped its hands and let out a cat meow, and an identical cry came from outside the wall. He knew in his heart that there was no one outside the wall. Just as the bamboo pole took out the flint and was about to light the fire, a strong wind swept through and directly kicked the flint in his hand to the ground. The bamboo pole was taken aback, he had been a thief for many years and relied on his high vigilance, but at this time, he was attacked by someone without noticing it in advance, which can only show that the man in front of him is an existence that he can't provoke.

At this time, the bamboo pole couldn't hide itself, and let out a strange cry: "The idea is hard to pierce the hand, and the wind is tight."

But there was no sound outside the wall, and the bamboo pole's heart gradually sank, this person still has accomplices? Without saying a word, just run away. The man behind him didn't mean to chase him, so he watched the bamboo pole run wildly. The bamboo pole that was running away suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and a figure stood on his way. The bamboo pole knew that it couldn't run away, so he sat down on the ground directly.

At this time, the patrolling family also heard the movement here and hurried over. The two who stopped the bamboo pole glanced at each other, and one of them had a tacit understanding that he grabbed the bamboo pole, and the other person carried the fat man from outside the wall, and disappeared into the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Ying, who was sleeping, heard someone knocking on the door, so he got out of bed and went to open the door without getting dressed, and when he opened the door, he found that it was a cold man in black.

"Lord Cheng, I am the person sent by the prince to protect you, tonight these two people want to burn down the Cheng family, and I found out, it is inconvenient for me to show up, and I will hand them over to you for disposal."

Cheng Ying was so shocked by the information in these words that she couldn't speak, and burned Cheng's family? Who is so daring? While thinking about Cheng Ying, he thanked him: "I'm tired, leave this matter to me, I will handle it."

As soon as the two of them left the fat man and the bamboo pole, a family member came and knocked on the door. Cheng Ying hurriedly changed her clothes and opened the courtyard door.

"I know what's going on, those two people inside are the murderers, you take them to the main hall and tell everyone to come over." After Cheng Ying finished speaking, she was not in a hurry to go to the main hall, but first went to Su Jinxiu's side to settle down and told her to rest in peace.

After a while, the Cheng family, young and old, came to the lobby. The old lady sat on the top seat, "Baby, what's going on?" ”

Cheng Ying first gave a salute, stood up and told the ins and outs of the matter. But the matter of the two people was naturally hidden in the middle, but it was said that they were discovered and captured by their own family. I also found a few servants who had explained the process in advance.

After saying what happened, the entire main hall was silent, and everyone was shocked and frightened, thinking that if it weren't for the cleverness of these families, the Cheng Mansion would have been burned down now, and everyone here would have been killed. "Well, those two little thieves, why did you come to my Cheng house to set fire?" Someone questioned loudly.

The fat man cried with a sad face: "I don't know, I took a nap outside your courtyard wall, and when I woke up, I found that I was tied up by you, and I really don't know what kind of arson."

"The two of us came to set fire to the murder because we were entrusted by someone, but I can't tell you who asked me to come." ”

The fat man suddenly blushed, "Nonsense, who is in the same group as your thin bamboo pole, the fat man, I will sleep, but I don't dare to kill people and set fires." ”

"Ahem" the old lady interrupted the quarrel between the two, "Don't quarrel, tell me who asked you to come?" ”

The fat man was still chattering on the side, and the thin bamboo pole was silent. Cheng Ying sneered, "Come on, search for me." Soon, the people searched for a map of Chengfu on the bamboo pole, and found two big yellow croakers on the fat man.

"Dare to deny it! Tell me who told you to come. Cheng Ying angrily reprimanded the two.

The bamboo pole was naturally unmoved, but the fat man howled, "You kill a thousand knives, what are you still talking about at this time, this young master, I said if you can give me that back." As the fat man spoke, he stared at the two big yellow croakers with a sneaky look.

Cheng Ying weighed the gold bar with his hand, "Okay, as long as you say who sent you, I will return it to its original owner." ”

The fat man stared at the gold bar and drooled, "It's a very beautiful woman, estimated to be in her 30s, and that figure is really charming." ”

"Get down to business!" Cheng Ying resisted the urge to give the fat man a kick.

"It was that woman who gave us a map of Chengfu, and gave us ten gold bars for each person, and I bought a house and spent eight, and these are the only two left." The fat man said, reaching out to get the gold bar.

Cheng Ying casually threw the gold bar to him, but the appearance of the eldest lady appeared in his mind. Not only him, but almost everyone present remembered this former lady of the Cheng Mansion.

The old lady trembled angrily, "Okay, okay, I don't want my Cheng family to raise a white-eyed wolf for so many years, even if she is expelled from the house, she still dares to buy arson." It's really the other way around. Come, go and bring her up. ”

The subordinates took the order and left, and came back after a while to report, "The eldest lady is gone, but the maids are all there, but the gold and silver are all taken away by her." ”

The old lady gritted her teeth: "It seems that she has been prepared for a long time, come and escort these two people to the official mansion, and the old body will go to the county government to complain in person, I don't believe that she can still run to the ends of the earth?"

Cheng Ying stretched out his hand to lift the two of them, and went to the county office first surrounded by a group of family members. The old lady came with the maid in a carriage, and at the same time asked the husband at home to write a complaint, preparing to go to the government to sue the eldest lady and ask the official to arrest her.
