Chapter 59: A Thief Who Doesn't Follow the Rules
Liu Chengyan tilted his head angrily: "If you don't urge again, you and I will wait to be spurned by the world." ”
Chang Le woke up from the ecstasy soup just now, secretly hated his willpower for being too poor, and suddenly felt a little ashamed, and finally cleared his throat and said: "That bell is not some kind of Gu soul, it's not early, let's hurry back." ”
As she spoke, she had already gotten up first, touched her hot face, fanned her sleeve, and immediately walked out. I don't know if I'm lost or drunk, my feet are always stumbling, and I can't walk steadily.
When you go down the stairs, you step on the air and lean forward. The long staircase is like an abyss, and if you fall down, your head will break and bleed.
The moment she fell, a hand scooped her up.
Chang Le was so frightened that he grabbed the arm of this hand tightly and struggled to lean up.
The body was carried by the hand, away from the steps, and hit the railing next to it.
She was easy to stand firm, and the aftermath was not over, and when the scattered eyes gathered, a peach blossom face had fallen into her eyes.
King Huai put one hand around her waist, one hand held the golden bone fan behind his back, staring at Chang Le's red cheeks, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed into a line: "Madame, be careful." ”
Chang Le's heart was still beating "thump" due to fright, and his five senses were a little sluggish, just staring at him blankly.
"It seems that this king really shouldn't have brought you here." Although King Huai said this, there was no guilt on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Madam, stand firm, this king is going to let go." ”
"Okay."
Chang Le was stunned and responded. When King Huai let her go, he hurriedly grabbed the railing next to him sideways, and held the handrail down the steps.
"King Huai, this time, it's been played." Liu Chengyan stared at the back, his brows furrowed. Turning his head to look at King Huai, he was surprised by the tenderness in his eyes, afraid that he would have inappropriate thoughts, and cautiously emphasized, "She is Mrs. Taishou." ”
The corners of his mouth froze, and King Huai glanced at him, smiling: "This king knows." ”
……
On the fifth day of the first month, the moon is on the treetops.
Every household in the thirteen counties closed early, and the officials and soldiers patrolled back and forth in the streets and alleys.
Today is the day when thieves are expected to steal.
In the east of the city, the pawnshop of Jinjia and Jin City. Inside and outside, there are all the best archers in ambush, just waiting for the thieves to appear.
Backyard side box.
There were four people sitting in the room, Taishou Zhang Changxiu, Thorn Shijiang Congshan, Duwei Shide, and Jin Chusheng, the pawnshop owner of Jin City.
Jin Chusheng fidgeted, turned his head and asked Zhang Changxiu, who was sitting in a precarious position: "Lord Zhang, are you sure this thief can come?" The news that there is a wild queen's crown here has been released, but the news that the lieutenant has set up an ambush here has also flowed out. The thief wouldn't be stupid enough to look at the trap and drill into it? ”
Duwei Shide had a headache when he saw him dangling, and slapped the table and shouted: "Don't sway, it makes Lao Tzu's eyes dizzy." ”
"Ouch, Master Captain. Although there is no crown here, some things are not cheap. The thief will touch one or two things casually, and the contemptible man will not be able to do this business any longer. Jin Chusheng now regrets more and more agreeing to cooperate with Zhang Changxiu, and the more he thinks about it, the more unreliable he becomes, "If, a few officials don't catch anyone today, they will withdraw their manpower." Ming'er and the thief will come, tell me, what should I do with the contemptible people? This person is always capricious, and he can't confirm that he steals once every half a month just because he steals once or twice, right? ”
Jin Chusheng was reasonable, but Jiang Congshan was not sure in his heart, and glanced at Zhang Changxiu worriedly several times. But it's only been long since the night begins, and you have to wait to know the result, right?
"Jin is in charge, you can sit in peace for a while. Since Taishou said that he would definitely be able to catch it tonight, he would definitely be able to catch it, and wait. Jiang Congshan waved his hand and comforted him to sit down.
Jin Chusheng has always had a good impression of Jiang Congshan, so he gave a face to sit down at this time, but this heart seemed to be boiling on the fire. If the thief doesn't show up tonight, then his pawnshop in Jinshi won't be at peace.
"That thief has a purpose and a plan, and he will come tonight. Jin is in charge, just wait. Zhang Changxiu was confident, squinting his eyes and looking a little comfortable and lazy, and his fingers knocked on the table again and again.
Seeing that Zhang Changxiu was so determined, Jiang Congshan and Jin Chusheng also trusted him a little more, and they were a little relieved.
"If you can catch it tonight, this thief is a fool." Du Wei Shide lifted his belt in both hands and smiled contemptuously.
He just cooperated with Zhang Changxiu to arrest people today. When the news of his deployment spread, he sent a fire and did not have much hope of catching the thief. He is familiar with military books, and has also led soldiers to fight on the front line, fighting wits and courage with the enemy.
If the enemy is caught in this case, it is really nothing but a problem with the thief's brain.
When Zhang Changxiu heard this, he just hooked his lips and smiled, but he didn't say anything.
……
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
West.
The Hu family is exquisite.
A figure climbed over the black wall in the backyard, landed lightly, and easily followed the root of the wall to the small door leading to the front store.
Looking around at no one left and right, he tiptoed out of his arms and touched a dagger and swiped it lightly at the iron lock cylinder. The lock cylinder immediately broke, and with a "bang", the iron lock fell to the ground.
What a sharp dagger that sharpens iron like clay!
The man subconsciously looked left and right, and a pair of cat-like eyes glowed green. Seeing that there was no one, he pushed the door and looked left and right and flashed into the store.
……
The Jin family is in a partial box.
Seeing that the hour was entering the second half of the night, and the thief had not yet appeared, Jin Chusheng was so anxious that he slammed the table. Jiang Congshan's heart also floated. Shide is not in a hurry, but he is a play-watcher. Although Zhang Changxiu was drinking tea, he was also a little unresolute.
"Zhang Taishou, it seems that you have miscalculated today." Jin Chusheng laughed angrily, but it was gloomy and compassionate, and it was full of ridicule.
Zhang Changxiu was silent for a while, frowning slightly: "Wait a little longer." ”
"Zhong Nan, how can you be sure that the thieves will definitely come to the pawnshop in Jin City tonight?" Jiang Congshan couldn't help but ask questions. Since Zhang Changxiu began to deploy the matter of catching thieves, every time he asked, he only got a perfunctory remark of "see when the time comes".
Jiang Congshan recognized him as a friend and student, so he endured it and decided to believe him again. Unexpectedly, in the end, there was still an unsatisfactory result.
Sure enough, Zhang Changxiu is still too young.
Zhang Changxiu was silent for a long time, still not replying.
Jiang Congshan was also a little annoyed, and swept his sleeves and got up: "The official won't wait with you, so I'll go back." ”
"Bang"!
The door was pushed open, and a yacha burst in. I didn't have time to salute, so I told Zhang Changxiu directly.
"Master, the Linglong Jade Store of the Hu family in the west of the city has been stolen!"
Jiang Congshan, who was about to go out, stared at the boss with his eyes, his body was unstable, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Jin Chusheng was also stunned, and after quickly coming back to his senses, he glared at Zhang Changxiu obliquely.
This is the good plan of this Taishou, a good plan! His Jin City pawnshop didn't steal, and this thief also came out, but someone else stole it!
"Lao Tzu said, where is such a stupid thief?" Shi De looked "That's really the case", glanced at Zhang Changxiu contemptuously, and snorted twice.
Zhang Changxiu swiped his fingers from the tabletop, stood up proudly, and spoke unhurriedly: "What about the thieves?" ”
Seeing that the people in the room didn't react very well, Yacha didn't know the situation, and said weakly: "Back to the master, I caught it." ”
As soon as this statement came out, it was nothing more than a big blow to the other three. There were thousands of disgusted looks before, but now the shocked expressions are surprisingly consistent.
Jiang Congshan was the first to point excitedly at the yacha: "What did you just say?" ”
"Stab back Master Shi, the thief has caught it."
Yacha was even more confused, and he didn't know if Master Thorn Shi was happy or unhappy when he heard the news.
Zhang Changxiu swept over their faces, chuckled, and said, "This official's words weigh a thousand pounds, and the mouth that has been opened is not an empty word. This official will go to trial the thief overnight, so I won't delay with you any longer. ”
When the words fell, the people had already been out of the side box, and only three people were stunned in the side box.
Now that the thieves have been caught, the thirteen county towns have returned to peace, and after a few months of worry, they can finally take a good rest. The mood that was overly anxious before suddenly settled down, and everyone was relaxed and let out the depression that had accumulated for a long time.
"Taishou is really powerful, and he deserves to be a good official for the country and the people." Jin Chusheng shook his head and praised it.
Jiang Congshan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Exactly." Jin is in charge, but do you still feel that you are too overwhelmed? ”
Jin Chusheng remembered the foolish things he had done before, and he couldn't hold back his old face, and he was ashamed: "It was Jin who was reckless before, and in the future, he will make a good living with the official family and benefit the people." ”
"Boom!" The two of them were politely tight, Shi De carried the belt, stood tall on the tiger's back, and scolded, "Zhang Changxiu is playing Lao Tzu as a monkey!" With Lao Tzu bringing so many elite soldiers and accompanying him for most of the night, it is an empty city plan! ”
Jiang Congshan said: "What is Du Wei talking about, Du Wei is also indispensable in this matter, when the official and Taishou report, they will definitely mention Du Wei's merits." ”
Shide didn't eat him, and he was still angry: "The credit of the fart!" Lao Tzu is not rare! Lao Tzu will take the monkeys outside back to rest! ”
Another hot air rushed out. As soon as the Shide people came out of the courtyard outside, they scolded and collected their troops.
Jiang Congshan secretly sighed recklessly, turned to Jin Chusheng, and smiled: "That official also went back, and he also worked hard for Jin Boss tonight." ”
Jin Chusheng waved his sleeves to make way and said: "Jiang Thorn History is polite, Jin sends Thorn History." ”
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Chang Le woke up from a spring dream. Last night, she dreamed of the little man in Yueren Pavilion. Sitting on the bed with his pillow in a daze, his mind blank, foggy, the kind of fog that would charm his senses.
For a long time, Chang Le struggled out with his willpower, and secretly scolded King Huai for killing a thousand knives, so that he would not die and take her to the tower. The material for painting is there, and she is also trapped!
If you go to sleep again, Chang Le is afraid that he will sink in and won't be able to get out, so he directly lifts the quilt, gets out of bed, and goes straight to the window. Pushing the window open, the fresh air came to the face, mixed with the fragrance of plum. The sky has broken blue.
Outside the window, several maids who were already sweeping the yard to make breakfast were stunned, and they all showed disbelieving eyes. It's like living hell.
"Madam, why did you suddenly get up early today, it's nothing."
The sound came clearly into Chang Le's ears as the door was pushed open, and Shili carried a stove of charcoal and helped her change the heat in the charcoal basin to warm up the house.
