Chapter 21: The Thief Willow Borrowed

March 22, Tianliang County, Shanggu County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The annual temple fair begins, and the ubiquitous illuminations on the streets and the pedestrians come and go, turning the entire night of the county town of Kamiya into a lively place.

Some people put lanterns by the river together, some talented and beautiful women walked together, some coquettish Yashi lantern riddles friends, and some drooping children frolicking.

At this time in previous years, Qian Ziming's father would always take Qian Ziming with him to Shanggu County to watch the lights.

This is also the place where Qian Ziming's father and his biological mother met before he was born.

But now that his father has left him, fortunately he still has a friend with him.

Qian Ziming took Li Xingke to see the lanterns, because Mr. Li was not interested in these at all.

And two big men come to see the lanterns together, and the painting style always feels strange.

Therefore, Qian Ziming walked in front alone, while Mr. Li followed a few steps behind.

Qian Ziming didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he took out a folding fan and gently shook it in front, coupled with his light blue satin clothes and white half-arm lining, he looked like a rich son, and he attracted the attention of the young women around him all the time when he walked.

But no one stepped forward, because Mr. Li's cold aura behind Qian Ziming kept everyone out.

Qian Ziming looked back, saw Mr. Li's unhappy face, and said with a smile, "Cousin, what kind of demeanor do you put on when you come out to play, be happy." ”

Mr. Li ignored Qian Ziming and just followed silently.

Qian Ziming had no choice but to smile, turned around and continued to walk forward.

And at the moment of turning around, he almost collided with a passerby who was walking briskly. Fortunately, Qian Ziming's light skills are good, and he flashed over with only one side.

Qian Ziming wanted to wait for the passer-by to say sorry or something, but when he saw that the passer-by ignored Qian Ziming, he disappeared into the crowd. Qian Ziming only sighed, and continued to walk in the direction of Yuelai Restaurant on the bank of the Tang River.

Today, Yan Lu Yan took advantage of the opportunity of the temple fair to hold a banquet at the Yuelai Inn, and invited Qian Ziming, who helped him solve the case, to drink.

Mr. Li also heard that there was wine to drink, so he was willing to come with Qian Ziming.

Not long after, the two came to Yuelai Restaurant, and under the guidance of the guy, they went to the second private room, and sat with Yan Lu, who had been waiting for a long time.

And this time, waiting for Qian Ziming with Yan Lu, there was also an old man with gray hair but neatly dressed, and he was sitting in the right position.

Before Qian Ziming could ask, Yan Lu introduced to Qian Ziming, "This is my uncle." ”

Qian Ziming immediately got up and saluted, and said politely to the old man, "I've seen Lord Yan." ”

The old man waved his hand to signal Qian Ziming to sit down, and said with a smile, "Hey, don't be polite, I have already told the old man, and now I am also a common person." ”

Yan Lu only has one uncle, and he was once the second-rank minister of the dynasty, named Yan Zhengming. This is a secret that only a few people know, and of course, Qian Ziming, who is Yan Lu's friend, also knows it.

Yan Lu introduced Qian Ziming like Yan Zhengming again, and said, "Uncle, this is the little money shopkeeper I often mention to you, and it is the bookkeeper in his family who has helped me solve many cases." ”

After listening to Yan Lu's words, Yan Zhengming's already dim eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Oh, then this is Zhang Xiucai?"

When Yan Zhengming said this, his eyes were staring at Mr. Li who was sitting next to Qian Ziming.

Seeing this, Qian Ziming knew that Yan Zhengming had recognized the wrong person, so he explained, "Although this is also my family's bookkeeper, he is a distant cousin of mine, named Li Changsheng. As for Zhang Wenqing and Zhang Xiucai, they have already gone to the capital at this moment, ready to gain fame. ”

Yan Zhengming understood, and said with some disappointment, "Hey, that Zhang Wenqing is a talent, it's a pity that I didn't meet him." ”

Yan Lu listened to Yan Zhengming's words, but his heart stretched out but he was a little embarrassed, in fact, the person who really helped him handle the case was Qian Ziming, and Zhang Xiucai only played a role as a mediator. So Yan Lu said, "The little money shopkeeper himself is also a smart person. ”

Yan Zhengming turned to look at Yan Lu and said, "But that thing ......"

Halfway through, it came to an abrupt halt.

Qian Ziming saw the confusion on Yan Zhengming's face, and after adding Yan Lu's affirmative look, he knew that there was definitely something between the uncle and nephew this time, and it would be an extremely tricky matter.

Could it be another homicide, and it is related to Yan Zhengming?

I saw Yan Lu whispering a few words in Yan Zhengming's ear, and then facing Qian Ziming again, and said, "Little money shopkeeper, have you heard of Liu Rulong?"

Qian Ziming was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his eye swept over Mr. Li, who was sitting next to him drinking alone, before replying, "Of course I have heard that there are three people in the rivers and lakes who have been named 'gods', namely [First Divine Sword] Li Xingke, [Invincible Divine Fist] You Chengke, and ...... [Peerless Thief] Liu Rulong!"

After Qian Ziming finished speaking, Yan Lu took out a note from his arms, handed it to Qian Ziming, and said, "Look at what this is?"

Qian Ziming took the note, only to see a few big characters neatly written on it:

Tomorrow night, borrow a list of luminous cups - willow borrowing

"Liu Borrow" is Liu Rulong's self-proclaimed, as a thief, he will leave a note before committing a crime.

He also claimed that he had only borrowed it for fun, but he never returned it.

Every time something he steals, it won't be long before it appears on the black market.

And this time, the luminous cup is a treasure given by the emperor before solemnly telling the old. Now that he has become the target of Liu Borrowing, how not to make Yan Zhengming anxious, so he called Yan Lu to help, hoping that Yan Lu could help.

Yan Lu didn't have confidence, let alone catching the thief willow and borrowing it, even if he simply kept the treasure, he couldn't do it.

The target who was targeted by the thief Liu borrowed has never escaped the clutches of Liu borrowed once!

So Yan Lu had no choice but to call Qian Ziming to see if he could prevent Liu Borrowing.

After listening to Yan Lu's narration, Qian Ziming made a difficulty, who can prevent Liu from borrowing?

Qian Ziming looked at Mr. Li beside him, and thought that if there was really anyone in the world who could prevent Liu Loan, it could only be the Divine Sword or Divine Fist with the same name as Liu Loan.

Thinking of this, Qian Ziming habitually took out the folding fan and fanned it on his chest a few times, but suddenly found that the fan pendant on the fan that Han Xiaoyu gave him was gone!

×××

On the small bridge of the Tang River, a person watched a jade fan pendant by the lanterns around him.

He looked at it very carefully, it was hard to believe his eyes, and it was even harder to believe his feel, and he sighed and said, "Such a precious fan, there is such a bargain, is there so many tricks in Tianliang County?"

As he spoke, he threw the fan pendant in his hand into the river. But on second thought, even if it's a bargain, it's worth a few bucks, so it's better to stay in case you need it.

Then, he put the pendant in his arms and stepped into the crowd.
