Yan Shiyi sneaked secretly along the alleys of the inner city of Wushuo, and soon found a team of Qing soldiers patrolling the night.

He found an opportunity, pulled a Qing soldier who came out to pee, and changed into a military uniform after being knocked unconscious, and then cautiously asked a few other soldiers, and set out the location of Zhao Yixiong's house, and after a few ups and downs, he had already touched the outer wall of Zhao Yixiong's house.

He carefully observed for a while, and found that there were not too many personal soldiers in Zhao Yixiong's house at this time, only a few personal soldiers who were patrolling the night, and what was a little strange was that these soldiers were all dressed in pickaxes, and the lanterns with light on the door were faintly white.

Could it be that someone died in Zhao Yixiong's family?

He didn't dare to delay time, looked at the two-zhang high wall, smiled slightly, ran the true qi with a kick of his legs, had jumped on the wall, looked around for a moment and jumped into the courtyard, he hid behind the rockery, found an opportunity to touch a night patrol soldier behind him and grabbed him, asked Zhao Yixiong's location under two coercive inquiries, and then knocked the soldier unconscious, changed into a plain white filial piety clothes, and then lifted the lantern and swaggered out.

It didn't take much effort for him to touch the outside of Zhao Yixiong's wing, and what made him feel strange was that there seemed to be no movement in this room, and he was relieved when he thought about it.

It's no wonder that someone died in Zhao Yixiong's family, maybe the old and young dressed in linen and filial piety went to the mourning hall to guard the spirit.

When he thought of this, his heart snickered with joy.

No one is better, not only does he not have to think too much, but he can search around without noticing.

He didn't want to sneak into the room quickly, and searched around with the lantern, and finally found Zhao Yixiong's "martial guard" green camp waist card on a set of military uniforms in this wing, and then he tiptoed back along the same road, touched the wall, and he used the ladder cloud again and jumped out.

He took out the waist card and looked at it carefully for a moment, overjoyed, he didn't expect that there was no danger along the way, and he happened to meet Zhao Yixiong's family for a funeral, and Zhao Yixiong happened to be not resting in the room, it seems that this time the theft is a little easier.

He counted the hours again, and found that it was not yet time, and it was obviously more than enough before the third watch.

It was probably the easiest theft in years.

He smiled at the thought of this, and was about to turn away, when he heard the sound of crying not far away.

"Daddy...... Mother......"

It's a child's cry.

It sounds unusually sad......

His curiosity rose, and he secretly said in his heart that there was still a surplus in the hour, so it was better to go and see what was going on.

He tightened his grip on his belt and touched it to the place where the voice was.

When he leaned out of the wall and carefully probed, he saw that at the door of Zhao Yixiong's house, there was a child squatting in the corner of the wall and crying.

When he saw that there was no one around, he stepped forward with a lantern and asked, "Whose child are you?" Why are you crying at the door of our Lord Zhao? Don't hurry home yet! ”

The child, a boy, looked up at him, lowered his head and began to cry loudly.

Yan Shiyi saw that the child was crying heavily, so he quickly squatted down and patted him lightly on the back, comforting him and saying, "Look at your child crying, don't cry!" What's there you can't think of? Let's say it all, will the uncle call the shots for you? ”

The boy looked up at him, and wept even more sadly.

He choked up while crying: "You are a soldier of Zhao Yixiong's family, I can't say ......"

Yan Shiyi was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Hey, I said you kid, why can't you talk to me?" ”

The child looked at him and choked up: "This Zhao Yixiong has a grudge against my family, he robbed my family's treasures, without this treasure, my father and my mother will be implicated, I am afraid that sooner or later my life will be lost." ”

Yan Shiyi became curious when he heard this, and asked, "This Lord Zhao robbed your family's treasures?" What kind of treasure is that? ”

The child looked at him and asked, "How could you not know?" You're a new recruit, aren't you? ”

Yan Shiyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't care if I'm a recruit or a veteran, I'll ask you, what is this treasure?" ”

The child choked up and said 1510.

It turned out that the child's father and mother were the county magistrates of Nanwu County, and one day they accidentally got a jade Ruyi of Hetian jade, which was pink and white from the inside to the outside, and it was really a peerless treasure.

Their family is loyal and filial piety, and they also know that leaving this valuable thing by their side is not a blessing, but a coveted disaster, so his father thought of a way to make a name for this jade Ruyi, as a tribute to this year's preparation to the Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, one is to eradicate hidden dangers, and the other is to offer treasures after the emperor will reward as usual, and his father's career may be smooth sailing in the future.

Unexpectedly, after the booklet of this tribute was submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the first level, there was an accident.

The person who happened this accident was Zhao Yixiong.

This Zhao Yixiong is extremely greedy, I heard that their family has this peerless jade Ruyi, relying on the local green camp guard, without saying a word, he came to the door and grabbed it.

In this way, their family really caused trouble.

On the list of tributes submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the size and size of the jade Ruyi have been written in black and white, and even the amount is clear, but now that there is no such jade Ruyi, once the Ministry of Internal Affairs finds out, they are really guilty of defrauding the king!

This crime of bullying the king can be big or small, once it is confirmed, it will be killed at the lightest, and if it is even the nine clans, it will be a great disaster!

The husband and wife of this county came to Zhao Yixiong to ask for it together, but they were seriously injured by him, and now they are paralyzed at home and can only wait for the catastrophe to come.

This kid has no choice, he comes to the door of the Zhao Mansion every day and begs hard, but he is beaten out, and he has no choice but to cry here.

As soon as Yan Shiyi heard this, his heart was already filled with righteous indignation, although he couldn't see the emperor and officials of the Qing Dynasty, but when he thought that this loyal and filial person would suffer a scourge instead, he was angry.

Yan Shiyi opened his mouth and said, "Don't cry either!" Well, I'll help you find it and take it out for you secretly, you think that's good? ”

The child looked at him and asked timidly: "You are also a soldier of the Zhao family, aren't you afraid that Zhao Yixiong will blame you?" ”

Yan Shiyi heard this and hurriedly said, "Cough! If Lord Zhao looks like this, my soldier will not be interesting, maybe he will go home in two days! ”

"Do you know where this jade ruyi is?" Yan Shiyi asked.

The boy nodded and said, "I saw Zhao Yixiong put Yu Ruyi in their family's mourning hall for offering!" Take me, and I'll recognize you at a glance. ”

Yan Shiyi thought about it and thought it was the same, so he patted the child's head and said, "You kid is a brave child, okay, hold it tight!" ”

After that, he picked up the child, kicked his legs and jumped into the Zhao Mansion again, and the child asked him in surprise: "Huh?" Why don't you go through the gate and climb over the wall? ”

Yan Shiyi smiled dumbly and said, "Cough! It's also easy to do, and it's faster! Right? ”

The child didn't ask much, pointed the way and guided Yan Shiyi all the way, and when Yan Shiyi arrived at the door of the mourning hall, he glanced inside, only to see that there was no one in the mourning hall, only a red lacquered coffin and paper men and paper horses on both sides.

"Then where is Yu Ruyi?" Yan Shiyi asked as he looked around.

The child said, "I saw that Yu Ruyi was originally placed on the incense table, why is it gone?" ”

"Maybe put it in the coffin, or uncle, you go over and look for it!" The child pointed to the red lacquered coffin.

Yan Shiyi nodded and approached the coffin to look inside, and then stretched out his left hand to touch it, but he didn't touch anything, but he felt a trace of inexplicable strangeness.

It's the corpse lying in this coffin, and his face looks familiar......

Where have you seen it?
