Chapter 58: Stop Him
"Or this girl has the means, why didn't I think of it just now."
The chatter in the crowd began to boil again.
Mrs. Qi was embarrassed and at a loss, she suspected that Ning Shu was here to target her, but she had no evidence.
It's not good to attack on the spot, so I can only say strongly: "Then why is there no purse after I was pulled by her?" ”
Ning Shu put away the broken silver, walked out of the alley and came to Mrs. Qi, and asked with concern: "Madame found out that the purse was lost on the spot?" ”
Her face was sincere, and the expression of consideration for Mrs. Qi did not seem to be fake, and Mrs. Qi was a little more comfortable.
"Not really, I rejected the silver she had returned, turned around and entered the jewel room."
As she spoke, Mrs. Qi pointed to the shop not far away, and everyone's eyes followed her movements and fell in front of the door of the jewelry pavilion.
On the threshold, the shopkeeper of the Jewelry Pavilion was knocking on the melon seeds with great interest, looking here with a probe.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many valuables in the store, she would have squeezed to the front.
Seeing that everyone looked at me with suspicion, he threw away the melon seeds in his hand, spread his hands and said, "Madame, don't wronged me, I haven't seen Madame's purse." ”
Mrs. Qi looked at the shopkeeper for a moment with a straight face, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, I only approached the shopkeeper when I was about to pay the bill, and I didn't have any contact with the shopkeeper before that." The suspicion of the little beggar is still the greatest! ”
Ning Shu disagrees with Mrs. Qi's point of view, if the little beggar really has this ability, where will he beg on the street?
Moreover, she was indeed blind in both eyes, there is no doubt about it.
"Why don't you send someone to find Lord Qi?"
Ning Shu wanted to settle the matter, and felt that Mrs. Qi would not report to the official because of a little silver, so she proposed to retreat.
But she overestimated Mrs. Qi.
Mrs. Qi really wanted to send someone to find Qi Chengan, it was one thing to have a large number of silver tickets in her purse, and when she encountered such a "big" case, her inexplicable excitement was the most important thing.
Who knew that the little beggar actually stopped Mrs. Qi and asked, "Is the fragrance on Madame's body today a lily incense?" ”
Mrs. Qi was stunned for a moment, and nodded yes.
She likes to use lily's incense to smoke her clothes on weekdays, and it is not surprising that she exudes the fragrance of lilies.
The little beggar sniffed, his empty gaze swept blankly at the onlookers as she turned her head, and said lightly, "Madam, can you step back a little further now?" ”
Ning Shu's eyes were like torches, as if she had seen through what the little beggar was going to do next, she turned around and smiled at Mrs. Qi, took Mrs. Qi's arm and retreated towards the back of the crowd.
"Mrs. Qi, don't be impatient, and see what she has to do."
As the two of them withdrew from the crowd, the little beggar's nose shrugged more frequently.
All the people whispered and talked curiously: "Shouldn't she be looking for a purse by smelling?" ”
"Don't say it, I'm still a little convinced, it's not like you didn't see the scene of guessing the silver money just now."
"That's—but that's amazing, isn't it?"
In addition to the shops of goods, there are more shops for food on the whole street.
They also sniffed sharply like little beggars, but what they smelled was the tempting mellow aroma of wine and meat.
The sound of inhalation spread through the crowd again.
Some people talked, but no one dared to move, and they even wanted to go up and try to cooperate with the little beggar to find the purse.
There is only one exception.
He silently stared at the little beggar and sniffed in his direction, and took a few steps back quietly.
Ning Shu's gaze kept scanning the crowd, and when the man made a slight movement, he spotted him.
"Stop him!"
"In that direction!"
The little beggar and Ning Shu spoke at the same time, raising their hands and pointing to one of the crowds.
When the man saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran.
At this time, before everyone could react, the man had already pushed away the people around him and rushed out of the crowd regardless of it.
"That's him, don't let him run."
Before Ning Shu's coquettish shouting fell, two men from Yushu in front of the person appeared.
One of them, dressed in a black robe, opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish" and shook it gently.
With a cynical smile in his good-looking peach blossom eyes, he slowly walked in the direction of the crowd, no matter how he looked at it, he had no intention of giving way.
The man who rushed away couldn't help but shout a threat: "Get out of the way." ”
Facing his fierce look, Xie Yunyan smiled indifferently, folded the fan in his hand, turned his head to Qi Cheng'an and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Brother Qi, go on?" Madame Zun is still there! ”
Qi Chengan had already wanted to rush out to relieve Zhu Chengcheng.
Xie Yunyan beside him clamped his arm tightly, making him unable to move.
Just to see Ning Shu in the limelight!
Until now, the whole forearm is still sour.
What's more, he doesn't know martial arts, how can he get on?
pursed his lips and snorted and reprimanded Xie Yunyan: "Brother Xie obstructed the official in handling the case, and the official didn't ask you yet!" If the thief escapes at this time, I will personally hand over the fold to His Majesty as the complainant. ”
Xie Yunyan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Qi Chengan. At the same time, the folding fan in his hand fell off his fingertips lightly, and slowly drew a graceful arc in the air, as if there was no strength.
But when it finally fell on the thief's knee, the people around him clearly heard the sound of bone cracking.
"Then I helped Brother Qi catch the thief, how can Brother Qi thank me?"
Xie Yunyan stopped, his voice was clear, and it fell into Qi Cheng'an's ears as lightly as the folding fan.
Qi Chengan's reaction was also as terrifying as the little guy who was hit.
"Brother Xie, what are these words? What do I thank you? Thank you for holding me down just now? ”
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and glared at Xie Yunyan.
Qi Chengan grinded his teeth and came to the thief, who was clutching his knees in pain, squatting on the ground and howling heartbreakingly.
Qi Chengan threw the anger he received on Xie Yunyan's body at the thief, and raised his foot to kick him the shoulder.
"Dare to steal my lady's things? Have you asked the officer? ”
His irritable behavior was seen by Xie Yunyan, and in the end he could only shake his head helplessly and smile.
I'm afraid that among all the people present, only he knows that Qi Chengan is saving the thief's life.
If not, if Mrs. Qi did it, the thief would probably be folded here today.
Mrs. Qi was simple-minded, and when she saw her husband defending herself so "violently", she felt warm, and even raised her voice.
"Husband!"
She rushed to Qi Cheng'an with an arrow step, grabbed Qi Cheng'an's slightly sore forearm crookedly, and looked up at Qi Cheng'an's handsome side face with starry eyes, "Husband, you came just in time, my purse is lost." ”
Qi Cheng'an patted the back of her hand soothingly, and said softly: "I know, don't worry, madam, since I am here, I will not let the thieves go unpunished." ”
quietly pushed away Zhu Chengcheng's hand, and Qi Chengan, who had regained his freedom, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
looked into the distance, stayed on Ning Shu's face, and nodded at her slightly.
Ning Shu also bowed her head slightly, and when she looked away, she saw Xie Yunyan not far behind Qi Cheng'an.
He was picking up the folding fan he had thrown out, shaking off the dust from the folding fan with a simple and gentle movement.
But even so, by him, the figure in the middle of the road is like a fairy walking out of the painting, which makes people's hearts throb.
As soon as Xie Yunyan raised his head, he met Ning Shu's inexplicable gaze.
The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and suddenly bent into the arc of a crescent, and smiled at Ning Shu from afar: "Miss Ning is fine." ”
