After the shadow took Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu away, the shopkeeper secretly felt unlucky, but he was a little happy. Ji Yueqin's hosta was still in his hand, and he didn't take anything away when he left.

But Ji Yueqin's indifferent gaze made him feel unhappy, so he could only sulk with a calm face. The little second who was scolded by Ji Yueqin was even more indignant, but looking at the shopkeeper's calm black face that was about to drip water, he didn't dare to make a sound.

The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more wrong it became, even if the two little girls in coarse linen clothes pawned with a reward, they would not be disgraced, and how could they have such sharp teeth and such a bearing as a rough girl. The shopkeeper couldn't figure it out for a while, and tapped the table with his hand rhythmically.

Xiao Er looked at the shopkeeper's brows and knew that he was still worried about what had just happened. Suddenly, the shopkeeper remembered the hosta in his hand, so he picked up the hosta and looked at it carefully. Before, he only knew that hostas were good objects, and he didn't look at them carefully. At this moment, he took a serious look at this hosta.

It's good that he didn't look closely, but when he looked closely, he was taken aback. This is really not something that an ordinary rich lady can bring, let alone something to reward a rough girl. The handle of the hosta is made of the best Hetian ink jade, and the pattern carved on the hairpin handle is a peach blossom with clear lines, and the uncarved butterfly jade pendant is a mutton fat white jade that is difficult to buy.

The shopkeeper immediately thought that Ji Yueqin and his party had just taken away a gang of bandits, maybe this object flowed out of the palace. The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more frightened he became, and hurriedly found a box of hosta and put it up.

The night was getting deeper, and Xiao Er, who was busy outside, was locking the door. The shopkeeper was also about to leave Jubaozhuang, when he heard the other two juniors talking about the emperor's list.

"Hey, you know, today I went to the west of the city and found a group of people surrounding the emperor!" Xiao Er said with a slightly surprised voice.

"So many people are around the emperor list, what is the content?" The other Xiao Er's appetite was also hoisted, and he hurriedly asked.

The little second who said the emperor said in a mysterious tone: "Hey, didn't the Seventh Prince plot rebellion some time ago!" After saying this, he looked left and right for fear that others would hear it, "It is said that a few little thieves escaped, and they also painted a portrait on the side!" ”

When the little second heard it, he suddenly realized: "I see! ”

......

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. The shopkeeper heard the conversation between the two juniors, and Ji Yueqin's small figure appeared in his mind. With such a firm and upright little body, I was shocked, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. Thinking of that hosta again, the shopkeeper's face couldn't help but turn pale, if Jubaozhuang and the thief were involved, but they would be killed!

So the shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed Xiao Er, who had just said the emperor's list, "Qian Jin, what did you just say to Xiao Liu." ”

Qian Jin was also curious about this matter when he heard the shopkeeper, and said to the shopkeeper with a bit of courtesy on his face: "The shopkeeper, this morning, I passed by the emperor list in the west of the city, and heard an old show reading the emperor list above!" Guess what's that—"

Qian Jin dragged a long tail note to hang the shopkeeper's appetite, but when he saw the shopkeeper's gloomy face, he hurriedly said: "The emperor said that he wanted to arrest the thief!" I caught a reward of ten thousand taels of gold! ”

Qian Jin looked at the shopkeeper and didn't answer, and hurriedly added, "There is a portrait next to it!" ”

After the shopkeeper heard this, he asked Qian Jin and Xiaoliu to follow him to the front of the emperor with the hosta. At the time of a cup of tea, the shopkeeper and the juniors of Jubaozhuang arrived in front of the emperor's list. The shopkeeper looked at the portrait on the emperor's list and fell into deep thought, he was thinking about Ji Yueqin's appearance.

I only heard Xiao Liu shouting: "Shopkeeper, isn't this that wild girl!" "The wild girl in Xiao Liu's mouth is Ji Yueqin.

The shopkeeper also felt that Ji Yueqin in the portrait was a little similar to the little girl he had just seen, so he took off the imperial list and rushed to the Zhizhou Mansion.

......

Qian Jin walked in front with a lantern, and the shopkeeper hurried away with the imperial list. The shopkeeper was a little selfish because he wanted the 10,000 taels of gold, but in fact, he didn't want to have anything to do with Ji Yueqin and bring disaster to himself. The Zhizhou Mansion is in the east of the city, some distance from the Huangbang in the west of the city.

The autumn night blows a bleak wind, making the night walkers wrap their clothes tightly. But the people of Jubaozhuang, who were in a hurry, were sweating profusely. After an hour, Jubaozhuang and his party finally arrived at the Zhizhou Mansion and knocked loudly on the door of the Zhizhou Mansion.

Seeing that no one paid attention, the shopkeeper knocked on the door of the governor's mansion even harder. Finally, in the third knock on the door of the shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang, the door of the Zhizhou Mansion finally opened.

The housekeeper of the Zhizhou Mansion looked at the shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang who was standing at the door with a displeased face, "What's the matter at such a late hour?" Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow! Look at how many days it has been now, Lord Zhizhou is to blame, can you bear it! The butler of the Zhizhou Mansion said with a bit of displeasure and mockery in his tone.

"The housekeeper is bothered, and the grass people don't want to disturb Lord Zhizhou late at night! It's just this-" The treasurer raised the imperial list in his hand without finishing his words.

The housekeeper glanced at the imperial list raised by the shopkeeper, and his expression began to become serious, "This matter is very important, I will take you to see Lord Zhizhou." After saying that, he carried a lantern and led the way in front.

The shopkeeper hurriedly followed, and the housekeeper led them into the courtyard, and told them to wait and hurried to find Zhizhou. The shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang and his party stood in the courtyard in a proper manner.

The autumn wind suddenly rose, and a slightly chilly wind blew through the sweaty and sweaty Jubaozhuang group, making them shiver. At the time of the incense, Zhizhou came to the courtyard to meet Jubaozhuang and his party.

When the shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang saw Zhizhou, who had a strict expression, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and told what happened in Jubaozhuang, and Qian Jin also added fuel and vinegar to the side, saying how Ji Yueqin insulted him.

Zhizhou looked at Jubaozhuang and his party suspiciously, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Lord Zhizhou, this matter is true, I don't dare to hide half of this head-killing thing!" After finishing speaking, he handed over the hairpin left by Ji Yueqin to Zhizhou.

Zhizhou took the box containing the hosta, opened the box and picked up the hosta to check, and then gave a few orders to the housekeeper next to him with a fixed expression, handed over the box in his hand to the housekeeper, and looked at Jubaozhuang and his party with deep meaning: "This matter is well done, if you catch the thief, you can get a reward." If you can't catch them—" Zhizhou said to them with a long tail note.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the words in Zhizhou's words, he also understood a little in his heart, this Lord Zhizhou wanted to benefit from it. So the shopkeeper said to Zhizhou diligently, "The Qingmeng grass people who disturbed the adults late at night should be damned, I heard that there are a new batch of dancing girls in the Man Dance Workshop, why don't you go to the adult's house at the Lantern Festival in two days, okay?" ”

Zhizhou patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang, glanced at him meaningfully, and said: "It's late at night, the shopkeeper should go back to rest, and leave the rest to Lord Ben." Zhizhou gave the eviction order, yawned and turned around and walked to the bedroom. Thinking of the soft and boneless concubine in the room, he left quickly.

......

The housekeeper listened to Zhizhou's instructions, and did not dare to be slacking off at all, so he hurriedly ran to the house next to Zhizhou's mansion to inform the adult. The butler knocked lightly, and a soldier opened the door. Without waiting for the soldier to ask, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "My lord asked me to tell the lord that there is news of anti-thieves!" ”

When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly led the man into the house and went to tell the adult.

It wasn't long before the lord was ready to go to the front hall to ask the butler, "I heard there's news?" ”

The butler saluted the lord and said, "My lord, the shopkeeper of the treasure village unveiled the emperor's list, saying that the thief took something to the treasure village to pawn, and was later taken away. With that, he presented the hosta to the lady.

When the adult took a closer look, he knew that it was the adjutant who was chasing Ji Yueqin that day, because he had not chased Ji Yueqin, General Lu was furious and asked him to go to the lower reaches of the river to search for traces. He picked up the hosta and remembered that there was a pinned one of the girl's hair on his head, so he gave an order and led his men to search for Ji Yueqin's traces.

When the butler saw this, he stepped back from the side.

.......

The adjutant led a group of people towards the Chengdong Jubaozhuang, and the shopkeeper of the Jubaozhuang who had just arrived in the village was startled by a knock on the door, and hurriedly called Xiao Er to open the door.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the group of soldiers coming in, he knelt on the ground and said, "This official, the grass people have not committed any crimes......

The adjutant saw the appearance of the shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang and said disdainfully: "I am not here to ask you about the crime, I am here to ask you about the anti-thief in the afternoon." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he secretly scolded in his heart for being unlucky, how could it be that there was nothing good when it hit Ji Yueqin's head. I was afraid that I would blame myself, so I hurriedly repeated what I had just said to Zhizhou.

After hearing this, the adjutant asked Ji Yueqin which direction he was going, and Xiao Liu pointed out a direction for the adjutant and said, "This official, they forgot about the east alley of the city!" ”

After the adjutant was pointed in the direction, he led people over again, and Qian Jin and Xiao Er hurriedly helped up the shopkeeper who was in a cold sweat. The shopkeeper was not lightly frightened this day, and tomorrow he can close the shop and rest for a whole day.

......

The adjutant led people to search the alleys in the east of the city, but there were many large and small houses in the alleys in the east of the city, so he asked the soldiers: "Search for me!" Even if it's digging three feet into the ground, I'll catch the thief! ”

So the soldiers rushed into other people's houses to search, and the people in those houses were afraid to hide aside and let these soldiers rummage around their homes.

And Ji Yueqin and the others had already left along the tunnel with the shadow, and the shadow did not forget to seal the secret passage to prevent them from catching up.
