Chapter 1 The Grand Thief Swallow Flies
On March 23, the 21st year of Guangxu (April 17, 1895), the Qing Dynasty government and the Meiji government of Japan signed an unequal treaty in Shimonoseki, Japan, also known as the "Treaty of Shimonoseki". The Treaty of Shimonoseki became www.biquge.info most unequal treaty after the Treaty of Nanking.
Half a year later, in a teahouse outside Beijing, a man dressed in black was sitting by the window on the second floor, quietly watching the pedestrians outside the window.
The guy who poured the tea looked at this person very depressed, there was no one on the first floor, why did he run to the second floor? Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to come forward to ask, but after a while, he would bring up a new pot of tea. This man didn't order anything else, just kept drinking tea, and had been here for almost four or five hours since noon, but he hadn't moved, like a dead man.
"Boss, can you close the window? It's already dark, and there's no one outside to look at. The man yawned, his eyelids were almost open, and he didn't expect this person to sit for a long time as soon as he came.
"Oh. The man in black heard the man's voice, and it was as if he had just woken up from a dream. "It's already dark!"
His words made the guy a little unsure of how to answer, he kept looking out the window, didn't he know that it was dark?
The snowflakes outside the window were slowly falling, and some snowflakes were blowing in from the window with the help of the wind, and the body of the man in black shivered. This gust of cold wind froze the guy so much that he rubbed his hands and stomped his feet, while scolding, "Ghost weather." ”
"Thank you. The man in black took out a gold ingot from his bosom, placed it on the table, and jumped out of the window.
And as soon as he took out the gold, the man's eyes glowed with gold, and he didn't care about the man in black anymore. Holding the gold in both hands, no matter how the wind blows outside the window, he can't feel the cold, and everything becomes less important than the gold in his hand.
After the man in black jumped out of the window, he did not stop, but just stepped lightly on the snow and disappeared into the street. He moved like a ghost, and he was extremely fast, even if he stepped on the snow, he only left a very shallow footprint, but it was soon covered with snow.
"Click..."
A series of footsteps came from a distance, stopping somewhere as they came to a high wall. Take out the rope prepared in advance from behind you, and at the other end of the rope is a three-prong iron hook.
The man in black took the rope with a three-clawed iron hook, spun around in mid-air a few times, and threw it directly into the high wall. The three claws grabbed the top of the high wall directly, and the man in black tugged on the rope a few times, and after testing that he could bear his weight, he climbed up the rope.
This is the home of a third-grade official, and the purpose of the man in black this time is for his family's treasure. Although the whole of Beijing is now full of snitches, the most famous person is Yan Shuangfei, who is known as a thief.
Robbing the rich and helping the poor, punishing the evil and promoting the good, such a person can be called a "chivalrous". And it is said that Yan Shuangfei has made light achievements and is a great hero who is well-known by many people.
At this time, Yan Shuangfei was squatting on the wall of the third-grade master's house on the spot, looking around, and after not finding the guards guarding, he jumped directly to the ground.
Yan Shuangfei drank tea in the teahouse, not really having that leisure and elegance, but waiting for an opportunity, and when his home guards were relaxed, it was a good time to start taking the treasure.
He had already heard one thing, that is, this big man would let the family or all the guards go to the palace tonight. Naturally, there will be very few people left, and besides, now is the era of rampant snitches, and the big men will also leave some good hands to watch the housekeeper.
After Yan Shuangfei fell from the wall, he looked around for the terrain and then headed towards the lobby. He is a professional snitch, and he is also very proficient and proficient in many people's treasure hiding. After coming to the hall, after finding that there was no one, he immediately dodged and went to the backyard.
The backyard is the master's residence, and most of the treasures are hidden in his bedroom. Many people already have the safest place to be the most dangerous, and once the snitch enters the house, the first thing to look at is the bedroom. Where is the safest place in the bedroom? Naturally, it is the safest to build a secret compartment and a secret passage in the bedroom, and then put the treasure in it.
Yan Shuangfei fumbled around in the dark, and could only follow the light outside shining on the snow, and then reflected the light into the room to find the mechanism of the secret passage. As a professional player, you can just go straight to the entrance to the secret passage after entering the room, and you don't have to look at the bed or anything, because no one is stupid enough to sleep with a treasure in their arms.
After fumbling for a while, Yan Shuangfei came to the table, he was very strange, why are the vases placed and the books on the bookshelves not mechanisms?
As he was thinking, he suddenly looked at the table, on which there were two kettles. One kettle is in the middle of the table, while the other is randomly placed, presumably designed to confuse the snitch.
"So it's here!" Yan Shuangfei sneered, and then gently turned the kettle in the middle of the table with his hand, and sure enough, as he expected, when he turned the kettle, the table immediately moved to one side, and an entrance into the underground appeared in front of him.
"Okay, you cunning dog official, you have stored all the corrupt treasures here. Yan Shuangfei scolded secretly, and then jumped directly into the ground.
After jumping inside, the light inside illuminates the entire tunnel, and the place where the tunnel leads, is emitting an alluring light.
Yan Shuangfei came for the treasure, and when he saw the treasure, of course he would not ignore it, but take as much as he could, and show no mercy. According to legend, Yan Shuangfei stole nearly 1,000 taels of silver from a large family overnight, as for how he did it and whether he did it, no one knows.
No sooner had he taken a step than he heard a sound of breaking wind coming from in front of him. When he was close, he saw that it was an arrow, and he hurriedly dodged it with a backflip. He didn't expect that the dog officer actually placed a mechanism in the tunnel, if it weren't for his high vigilance, maybe the arrow just now would have killed him here.
The device mechanism is quite fatal to the thief or the thief, if you can't remember the switch of the mechanism or other sequence, then the mechanism can kill yourself. The same person, unknowingly trespassing into the mechanism, once touching the mechanism, can be injured without dying.
The walls of this tunnel are very neat, and even the light is coming from where the dark weapon is fired at the end, not from the sides of the wall. Yan Shuangfei didn't dare to rush forward any longer, and after looking at the walls on both sides, he looked up again, and the squares above his head were squares of the same size.
The three squares are exactly the width of the tunnel, all the way to the light. When I looked down, I saw that the front of my feet was the same as above, and it was a regular square shape. Not only that, but there are other different shapes within each square.
The one on the left is a rectangle, the middle is a right triangle, and the right is a circle. And the shape of the first row on the top of the head is different from the bottom, the left is a circle, the middle is a triangle, and the right is a rectangle.
Yan Shuangfei looked at those shapes, "These shapes are regular, not randomly placed, if you guess wrong, you will touch the mechanism, on the contrary, you will step on the right one to get through safely."
He remembered that he had just stepped on the rectangular piece underneath without knowing it. If the upper and lower shapes are compared, one of the three shapes is the same shape from top to bottom, which means that the same piece is safe.
Yan Shuangfei thought, and then stepped on the triangle in the middle with his raised foot. That was all his idea just now, and now he can only try to see if his guess is correct. Of course, he was also prepared to dodge, and if he spotted an arrow coming, he would use his agile speed to dodge it.
"Click. ”
His foot was on the middle piece, and when he got on, no arrow came. Yan Shuangfei was even more bold, and also proved that all his speculations just now were correct.
After stepping on a dozen bricks back and forth, I came to the glowing place. Yan Shuangfei stood in front of the glowing place, and only then did he see clearly that the glowing thing was not the gold he wanted, but a bead.
"Night Pearl?" This thought flashed in Yan Shuangfei's mind, the Night Pearl is a very precious thing, how can he say that he is only a third-grade official, where can he get the Night Pearl?
But if it's not a pearl of the night, what kind of pearl is it? How can it emit such a dazzling light? Besides, if it is placed here, isn't it afraid of provoking other people?
"Whether you're the Night Pearl or not, I'm going to take it. "Yan Shuangfei never goes empty, but what he found this time is only such a bead, not even a piece of silver.
Yan Shuangfei took out a beautiful wooden box, but the Night Pearl happened to be able to fit it in, as if this box was prepared for the Night Pearl. But who can know that this wooden box is about Yan Shuangfei's poignant love a few years ago?
Yan Shuangfei was not as famous as it is now five years ago. At best, he was just a small thief, but because of the death of a girl, he completely changed himself. Which girl's death has a lot to do with an official, even if that official angers a sleeping lion.
Overnight, the entire family of which official was killed. No one knew who did it, not even those who witnessed the whole thing, pretending not to know, and the case could only be hastily closed.
It was also after that night that the name of "Grand Theft Yan Shuangfei" began to resound throughout the Forbidden City.
