Chapter 20: The Embroidery Thief
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned and said with a smile: "There are actually a lot of men who can embroider, and among the tailors I know, there are several who can embroider!"
Master Bitter Melon said: "But he can not only embroider, but also embroider the blind!"
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned again and said, "Embroider blind?"
Master Bitter Melon said: "It is said that he has embroidered at least seventy or eighty blind people recently!"
"How do blind people embroider?"
"Embroider with his embroidery needle, embroider one with two needles!"
Lu Xiaofeng finally understood a little, and said, "Who are the blind people he embroidered?"
Master Bitter Melon said, "At least four or five of them are ones you recognize!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who?"
Master Bitter Melon said: "Chang Mantian, Hua Yifan, Jiang Chongwei ......"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaofeng was already moved: "Jiang Chongwei of Pingnan Palace?"
Master Bitter Melon said, "There is any other Jiang Chongwei besides him?"
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "But since this Jiang Chongwei entered the palace, he no longer cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how could he provoke this person?"
"He didn't provoke this person at all, it was the eighteen pearls in the palace who provoked him. β
Lu Xiaofeng was surprised and said, "This person not only blinded Jiang Chongwei, but also stole the Eighteen Pearls of the palace?"
"In addition, we have to add the seventy volumes of priceless calligraphy and paintings treasured by Hua Yuxuan, the 800,000 taels of silver from Zhenyuan, a batch of red goods from Zhendongbao, and the 90,000 taels of gold leaves from Jinshahe!"
Master Bitter Melon sighed, and continued: "It is said that this person has done sixty or seventy major cases in a month, and all of them have been done by him alone, do you think he is out of the limelight?"
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but say, "Why haven't I heard these things?"
Master Bitter Melon said: "You have been in the northwest recently, and these things have happened in the southeast, and you only came here a few days ago, and you are busy digging earthworms!"
"It's a recent message, but you already know it. β
"Hmm!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "When did you become so well-informed?"
Master Bitter Melon sighed and said, "Don't forget that I have always had the most well-informed junior brother. β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Jin Jiuling?"
Master Bitter Melon smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, I only have such a junior brother!"
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I understand." β
Master Bitter Melon said, "What do you understand?"
Yan Shi suddenly interjected: "Jin Jiuling is Jiang Chongwei's good friend, and he was the number one catcher in the world that year, although he has long since washed his hands, but it is impossible for him to ignore these things." β
Master Bitter Melon admits that no matter who eats a public meal for one day, he will never want to get out again for the rest of his life.
Master Bitter Melon sighed: "I still don't understand why he ate this line of food in the first place!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you want him to be a monk too?"
Master Bitter Melon said: "At least the monk doesn't have so much trouble!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "But the monk doesn't have a wife!"
Master Bitter Melon stopped talking.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the biggest problem in Jin Jiuling's life is self-appreciation. He entered the public gate in the past, and it is said that it was also for a woman.
"Jin Jiuling is recognized as the first master in three hundred years among the six doors, no matter how big or small the case is, as long as it is in his hands, there is nothing that cannot be broken. β
Master Bitter Melon sighed: "So I always think that his biggest problem is that he is too capable and too smart." β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "But no matter how smart a person is, sooner or later, he will encounter a problem that he can't solve." β
Master Bitter Melon agreed.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "This case, maybe he can't solve it, so he must find a helper!"
Master Bitter Melon also admitted.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since you only have such a junior brother, of course you have to help him find a helper!"
He sighed and said with a wry smile: "The most unfortunate thing is that I happen to be the most ideal helper, no matter who encounters something that can't be solved, they will always come to me, so ......"
"So he's coming to you. Yan Shi and Hua Manlou laughed beside him.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "Maybe I happened to fall into the frieze, that's why I crashed into here!"
Mu Daoren smiled: "You seem to have been unlucky all the time recently!"
Yan Shi shook his head and said: "It's not that he's unlucky, it's that he's born to be idle, and he likes to be nosy too much." β
Hua Manlou and the others all nodded in agreement.
"But this time, I said that I wouldn't do anything, whether he could embroider or mend pants, it was none of my business, and I wouldn't care about this matter for most of the day!" Lu Xiaofeng slapped the table and said.
Master Bitter Melon said lightly: "He didn't ask you to take care of this matter, why should you be amorous!"
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned and said, "He didn't?"
I heard one person smile and say, "I really don't!"
This person is, of course, Jin Jiuling.
Many people in the rivers and lakes know that there are two things on Jin Jiuling that few people can compare. His clothes and his eyes. Jin Jiuling's eyes were not particularly big or particularly bright, but as long as he looked at them, he would never forget them.
The clothes worn by Jin Jiuling are always the most noble materials, the styles are always the most up-to-date, and the handiwork is always the most exquisite.
A folding fan in his hand is also a fine product worth a thousand gold, and it can also be used as a weapon when necessary.
Jin Jiuling's kung fu of recognizing and punching acupoints is first-class, in fact, he is first-class no matter what he does.
He can't drink wine that isn't first-class, he can't look down on a woman who isn't first-rate, and he never sits in a car that's not first-class. But he is not a first-class rich man, but fortunately he still has a lot of money to do. He is good at distinguishing antique calligraphy and paintings, and he is good at Soma, and these two things are enough for him to live a first-rate life forever.
What's more, he is still a very handsome and attractive man, and he doesn't seem to be very old, which makes him save a lot of money on the easiest thing to spend money on. A beauty who others need a thousand dollars to win a smile, but he can often do it without a penny.
So he has always lived a well-to-do life and has always been well maintained, and he doesn't look like a well-known martial arts master on the underworld, but like a playboy who walks the horse.
Seeing him come in, Honka immediately asked, "Have you found any fine products lately?"
The biggest habit of Honka Jushi's life is to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, and his treasured fine products are by no means under Hua Yuxuan.
Jin Jiuling smiled and said: "The world's boutiques have been brought to Huangshan by laymen, what else can I find?"
Honka said, "Don't even have a good painting?"
Jin Jiuling groaned, smiled again, and said, "I have a flower on my body!"
Honka said, "Take it out and take a look!"
Jin Jiuling had already smiled and took it outβit was a bright red satin embroidered with a black peony.
Monk Honka was stunned and said, "What is this?"
Jin Jiuling said with a smile: "Needlework is also very popular recently. β
Monk Gu Song said, "Could this be the true work of Lady Xue?"
Jin Jiuling said: "No, this is embroidered by a man." β
Monk Honka said movingly: "Is that the man who can embroider?"
Jin Jiuling nodded and said, "This is exactly what he embroidered in the palace treasury." β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is he really embroidering there?"
Jin Jiuling nodded again and said, "When Jiang Chongwei opened the door and entered, he was embroidering this flower inside!"
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "The treasure house of the palace is heavily guarded, how can he get in?"
Jin Jiuling smiled bitterly: "No one knows how he got in, and no one can guess it." β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "He didn't even leave any clues?"
Jin Jiuling said: "No." β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What kind of person is he?"
"He was a man with a big beard and a big padded jacket on a hot day. β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What else?"
"He's a man, not only does he know how to embroider, but he does it very well!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "You know so much?"
Jin Jiuling said: "I only know so much, and so do others, no one will ever know a little more than me." β
"What is his martial arts?"
"I don't know!"
"Even Jiang Chongwei didn't see it?" Lu Xiaofeng was a little surprised.
Jin Jiuling sighed: "Even an old Jianghu like Chang Mantian didn't see how he made a move, let alone Jiang Chongwei?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Jiang Chongwei's iron palm hard skills can be regarded as the first in the southeast. β
Jin Jiuling sighed: "But he doesn't even have a chance to fight back!"
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "How could such a powerful person suddenly come out of nowhere?......
Master Bitter Melon said coldly: "Since you don't want to care about this matter, why do you ask?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What does it matter?"
Jin Jiuling smiled bitterly: "Of course it doesn't matter, it's just that I know, and now you know everything." β
Lu Xiaofeng stared at him, and suddenly asked again, "Why did you tell me all about this?"
Jin Jiuling said: "Because you are asking." β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "There is no other reason?"
Jin Jiuling said: "No." β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "You didn't mean to wait for me here?"
Jin Jiuling couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "How did I know you would come?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "You didn't mean to look for me?"
Jin Jiuling said: "No." β
Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Very good, then I can drink with confidence." β
Although he said that it was good, he smiled so unnaturally that he couldn't even seem to drink the wine anymore.
Yan Shi and the others laughed secretly.
Jin Jiuling suddenly smiled again: "But now that you are here, I have something I want to ask!"
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a smile: "I already knew that you must have something to ask me!"
Jin Jiuling said: "There may be only one person who can find out this embroidery thief and reveal these secrets." β
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes are brighter - who else can solve this kind of problem?
But he deliberately asked, "I don't know who this person you are talking about?"
Jin Jiuling said: "Picking up stars!"
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned and said, "Who are you talking about?"
Jin Jiuling said: "Picking up stars!"
Lu Xiaofeng's mouth was closed, and he didn't even want to pay attention to him.
Jin Jiuling seemed to be a little uninteresting, and then said: "Sikong Xingxing is known as the king of stealing kings, and it is indeed a rare genius in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, if only one person in the world can find out how the embroidery thief entered the palace treasury, this person must be Sikong Xingxing." β
Lu Xiaofeng had already started drinking, and he didn't even bother to listen.
Jin Jiuling continued: "If you want to solve this case, you must find Sikong Xingxing, but it's a pity that he has always been a divine dragon, only you may know his whereabouts, so ......"
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but say, "So you want to ask me about his whereabouts?"
Jin Jiuling said: "That's what I mean. β
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly put down the wine glass and said, "You talked nonsense to me for a long time, just to find him?"
Jin Jiuling sighed and said, "Who else can I find besides him?"
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly jumped up, pointed to his nose, and said loudly: "I, why can't you look for me?"
Jin Jiuling smiled, shook his head and smiled: "You can't do it!"
Lu Xiaofeng jumped higher: "Who said I can't do it?"
Jin Jiuling said: "This kind of thing is definitely not something you can do!" He was still shaking his head.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why can't I do it?"
Jin Jiuling said lightly: "Because this case is too tricky, and you don't want to care about this matter at all!"
Lu Xiaofeng yelled: "Who said I don't want to take care of it? β
Jin Jiuling said: "I still bet that you won't be able to solve this case!"
Lu Xiaofeng slapped the table and said, "Okay, whatever you want to bet, I'll bet with you!"
He hadn't finished saying this sentence yet, but he had already found that others were laughing, Yan Shi was laughing, Hua Manlou was laughing, Mu Dao was laughing, and Master Bitter Melon was laughing......
Everybody's laughing, and it's like when you suddenly see someone step on dog shit.
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly found that his feet were stepping on a pile of shit, a big pile. It was too late for him to pull this foot out.
Mu Daoren smiled and sighed, and muttered, "Please don't be as good as agitating generals, this sentence is really not bad at all." β
The mat has dispersed, and the Honka monks have always paid the most attention to the way of health preservation, getting up early and going to bed early. The Mudao people have laziness, and the bitter gourd master has evening classes, so there are only four people left in this room.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, staring at the black peony on the red satin, and suddenly asked, "When did this person first appear?"
Jin Jiuling said: "On the third day of the sixth month, the first person to meet him was Chang Mantian. β
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What about the last time?"
Jin Jiuling said: "The last time I knew was thirteen days ago, whether there were new cases in the past few days, I don't know!"
