Chapter 228: Theft 2
Early the next morning.
"Stop."
He Zeng, why bother, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the people guarding the city gate.
Yang Sheng came from behind, and the people guarding the city gate were frightened when they saw that it was General Yang.
"The little ones don't know it's General Yang, and I ask General Yang not to blame, it's just that there are things lost in the homes of several officials in this city, and the little ones have to ......" The person who spoke hesitated when he said this, and his eyes were looking at the things on the vehicles behind General Yang.
Yang Sheng knew what he meant, so he said: "These are the relief food and silver brought by General Ben this time, if you want to check, then check." ”
When the guards at the city gate heard that it was food for disaster relief, they laughed and did not go over to check it.
"It turned out to be food for disaster relief, General Yang, please."
Yang Sheng was very satisfied that these people didn't really check it, but he wasn't afraid that they would check it.
Soon, the news of the arrival of disaster relief materials brought by General Yang spread throughout Zhoucheng. Those who had no food or money at home came to the door of the drunken restaurant one after another, which alarmed Master Ma.
Master Ma brought people over, and watched these people surround the drunken restaurant, and the street was impassable. He directly ordered his men to evacuate these people.
"Don't die, you dare to block General Yang and the county lord here." Master Ma stood at the door of the drunken restaurant and looked at the person in front of him angrily.
When the victims saw that it was Mada, they were very frightened and retreated, but they were still reluctant to leave, because their hope was here.
Qiao Sheng looked at these victims who were so afraid of Master Ma, squinted his eyes slightly, and touched his chin with his hand.
"It seems that this Lord Ma has suppressed these victims before."
"You can see how they look, which also explains why the scene we saw when we came to Zhoucheng was different from other places where disasters occurred." Yang Sheng said.
Qiao Sheng nodded, then looked at Yang Sheng, and the two walked behind Master Ma with a tacit understanding.
Seeing that Master Ma didn't feel that there was someone behind her, she poked Master Ma with her finger.
Master Ma turned around and saw that it was General Yang and Boss Qiao, and immediately stepped aside.
"General Yang, county lord." The county lord Ma shouted a little hesitantly, because he was not sure.
Seeing that General Yang and Boss Qiao did not deny it, Master Ma was sure that this Boss Qiao was the county lord. As for why the appearance is different, he doesn't have time to investigate.
Everyone watched the general come out, looking at the general one by one, and their eyes were like looking at God.
"The food will be distributed later, and General Ben hopes that everyone will not fight and ensure that everyone will have it."
When everyone heard this, a smile appeared on their sallow faces, and at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"In the same way, General Ben also prepared seeds for crops for everyone, so that everyone can return to normal life."
"That's great."
The victims were all smiling and happy, so they could save money to buy seeds.
However, the merchants who sold the seeds were not happy.
Master Ma felt strange, the relief food and silver taels that the emperor usually distributed had never distributed such things as seeds.
Out of curiosity, Master Ma asked:
"This emperor also distributed seeds?"
"Naturally, the emperor did not distribute seeds, which was prepared by the county lord on the way here."
"Oh, it turned out to be prepared by the county lord." Master Ma glanced at the woman beside General Yang and began to suspect that this kind of child was of unknown origin.
Yang Sheng saw Master Ma looking at Qiao Sheng with strange eyes, his face sank, and then asked Master Ma.
"What? What questions does Master Ma have? ”
"Nope." Master Ma stepped aside and said no more.
If what happened last night was the county lord's doing, then his black gauze hat is probably not guaranteed. And now that the general and the county lord didn't say anything, then last night's thief shouldn't be the county lord's person.
Qiao Sheng stared at Master Ma and smiled lightly, she already knew the origin of these grains and seeds, she wanted to laugh when she thought of this, robbing those black-hearted merchants, and then emptying the relief food from Master Ma, I have to say that it is indeed the fastest way.
At this time, Yang Sheng had already arranged everything, and the victims had consciously lined up.
"Why bother, you two distribute things to everyone according to what I said before." Yang Sheng said to He Zeng.
Why did he nod his head.
"Master Ma, you seem to have something on your mind." Yang Sheng turned his head and said to Master Ma.
Master Ma was so shocked that he raised his head suddenly, looked at General Yang, the corners of his lips rose, and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”
"Really? How did I hear about the theft of several merchants' homes in Zhou City, and Master Ma was bothered by this matter, right? It just so happens that our Lord Xiao is a master of investigating the case, and this matter will be handed over to Lord Xiao, so that we can find out the real culprit and catch the thief within three days. ”
"Lord Xiao?" Master Ma was stunned.
"Who's calling me?" Xiao Jincheng was holding a meat pie in his hand.
Qiao Sheng looked at him like this and gave him a blank look.
Xiao Jincheng smiled lightly, looked at the person in front of him, and asked, "Who is looking for me?" ”
Master Ma looked at Xiao Jincheng with wide eyes, and was speechless for a long time.
"It's him." Yang Sheng and Qiao Sheng pointed at the stunned Master Ma at the same time.
Xiao Jincheng wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Master Ma, and jumped his eyebrows.
"Master Ma, what are you looking for me?"
"Xiaguan ......"
"Several houses in Zhoucheng were stolen last night, and Master Ma heard that Lord Xiao had an amazing speed in investigating the case, and wanted you to help catch the thieves." Qiao Sheng directly interrupted Master Ma's speech.
Xiao Jincheng's eyes looked back and forth between Qiao Sheng and Master Ma, Qiao Sheng raised his eyebrows at him, and then he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, I promise half ......"
"Help Master Ma find out in three days." Qiao Sheng smiled weirdly.
Xiao Jincheng looked at her smile and laughed, but the smile was ugly, more ugly than crying.
Master Ma originally wanted to refuse, but now that Lord Xiao has agreed, what else can he say?
Xiao Jincheng pulled Qiao Sheng aside and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you embarrassing me for three days?" ”
"Rest assured, everything is under control." Qiao Sheng gave him a relieved expression.
With her words, Xiao Jincheng was relieved.
"Okay, just say whatever you want."
Qiao Sheng made an "ok" gesture.
"Alright, then I'll go have my breakfast, there's nothing for me here anyway." After Xiao Jincheng finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the restaurant.
Master Ma's eyes kept looking at this side, and when he saw Lord Xiao entering, he immediately withdrew his eyes.
I don't know why, but his eyelids have been jumping since just now, and he always feels that something bad is going to happen. Since yesterday's incident, he has been restless, and he can't sleep soundly at night.
Yang Sheng kept looking at Master Ma, thinking about how to deal with this Master Ma. Qiao Sheng came to his side and glanced at the horse-sama
"You're forcing him to jump off the wall?"
"Yes." Yang Sheng nodded.
"Then guess when Master Ma jumped over the wall." Qiao Sheng was curious.
"I don't know." Yang Sheng said with a smile.
She glanced at Yang Sheng and pursed her lips.
"You don't know?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure it won't be long." After Yang Sheng finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Xie You in the distance.
Following Yang Sheng's gaze, she instantly understood when she saw Xie You, it turned out that there was a life talisman.
When Xie You came over, when Master Ma saw Xie You, and saw that Xie You had a good relationship with General Yang, his heart was immediately cold.
It seems that General Yang knows everything.
"Someone brought?"
"Brought." After Xie You finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Master Ma.
When he saw this, Master Ma was sweating profusely, and then walked over.
"General Yang, I suddenly remembered that there are some things at home, and I will come when I go to the next official."
"Okay." Yang Sheng nodded.
Watching Master Ma leave in a hurry, Qiao Sheng was not surprised.
"Is this unbearable?"
"Not necessarily." Yang Sheng felt that Master Ma would not be so quick and unable to hold his feet.
"There is a martial arts Li Peng next to him, you should be careful." Xie You reminded.
"Li Peng?" Qiao Sheng twisted his eyebrows, "Is this person very powerful?" ”
"I haven't faced any opponents head-on, but looking at his appearance, his skills should not be low."
Yang Sheng didn't say anything, but Qiao Sheng was even more curious.
******
When Master Ma returned to the house, he asked someone to call Li Peng when he entered the door.
After waiting in the study for almost a cup of tea, Li Pengren had not yet come, and he was a little impatient, so he got up and came to the door, and roared angrily at the people in the courtyard.
"Why hasn't Li Peng come yet?"
"Master, the person who went to look for it hasn't come back yet." As soon as the servant had finished saying this, the man who had sent him returned.
Ma Cheng saw that it was only the subordinate who came back, and he frowned and questioned the person who came back.
"Why didn't Li Pengren come?"
"Back to the master, Li Peng is not here, I don't know where he went, and the maid from the door is here, saying that she wants to see the master."
"Nope." How could Ma Cheng have the heart to care about Ningniang's shameless woman now, "If Li Peng is not there, go find it for me, and don't come back if you can't find you." ”
The subordinate was frightened, and quickly nodded and turned around to find someone.
"What's the matter with me?" Li Peng appeared very appropriately.
When Ma Cheng saw him, he turned around and went into the study, followed by Li Peng.
After Li Peng entered the study, Ma Cheng said: "Then Xie You and General Yang are in the same group, and General Yang must have some evidence in his hands." ”
"What do you want me to do?"
"If the official knew what else he was looking for you to do? You hurry up and think of a way for this officer. Ma Cheng said with a dark face.
"My lord, the only way at the moment is to wait." Li Peng looked at Master Ma coldly.
"Nope." Ma Cheng immediately vetoed it, he couldn't wait, he didn't want to be unable to sleep every night and eat during the day.
"What do you think of me?" Li Peng asked.
"Aren't you good at kung fu? You go and kill them all. ”
Li Peng felt that Ma Cheng should have been confused, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.
Ma Cheng saw that Li Peng was silent, so he said, "What? You're not willing to make a move? ”
"It's not that I don't want to." Li Peng said.
"In that case, let's go and kill them." "My lord, that's General Yang and the county lord, if I kill them, it will be really annoying."
