Chapter 297: Eavesdropping

Chen Tian has been "hibernating" in advance in the past few days, and he sleeps at home every day except for meals.

In Chen Tian's opinion, he could ensure that nothing was wrong by responding in this way, after all, although the things he stole were valuable, they could not be called rare treasures. And judging from the location of the other courtyard, this boy is either an ordinary rich second generation, or these babies are not coming from the right way.

According to his estimate, in such a situation, Brother Gongzi can only find the local yamen to arrest him at most.

And Chen Tian is very familiar with the Yamen, after all, it is the "natural enemy" of their thieves.

I am so dormant, those wine bags and rice bags in the yamen will not be able to find myself next year. And by that time, he would have already disposed of these treasures.

Chen Tian was very confident in his plan, but he still misestimated the importance of these treasures, or a certain treasure, to Tang Huaide.

On this day, it was almost noon, and Chen Tian was still asleep in bed.

"Knock knock knock ......"

The hurried but forbearant knock on the door was accompanied by Lu Si's anxious shout.

"Chen Tian, open the door, Chen Tian ......"

Seeing that Chen Tian didn't come to open the door for a long time, Lu Si knew that he must still be sleeping in bed, so he simply stopped knocking on the door, but entered the courtyard in the way he was most familiar with.

Walk the courtyard wall!

Chen Tian was actually awake, but he didn't bother to open the door for Lu Si, he could come in anyway.

Sure enough, within two breaths, Lu Si broke into the house.

Chen Tian threw out his pillow angrily, but this time Lu Si did not catch the pillow as steadily as before, and then showed a lewd smile.

I saw that Lu Si slapped the pillow away with some impatience, and then rushed directly to the side of the bed to scoop up Chen Tian.

Chen Tianmeimeng was disturbed and a little annoyed.

"Lu Si! What do you want to do?!"

"Don't sleep, come out with me and hide."

Lu Si didn't care about explaining, so he pulled Chen Tian and ran out.

Chen Tianyi shook off Lu Si's hand, sat down at the table unhurriedly, and said while pouring water for himself, "Hide? What to hide? Besides, is there a better place to take refuge in the entire imperial capital?"

"No, Chen Tian, didn't you see that there are all people from the Yamen outside? Half of the Kaicheng area has been turned upside down by them, and we will be here soon......

When Chen Tian heard this, he paused for a moment, but he was still unmoved, and said casually, "Yamen? Which yamen? Shunfeng District or Kaicheng District? This kind of action is not only monthly, but once every six months is considered commonplace, so there is no need to make a fuss......

Without waiting for Chen Tian to finish speaking, Lu Si snatched his teacup.

"Hey, Lu Si, you ......."

"This time it's different, there are not only people from Shunfeng District and Kaicheng District Yamen outside, but also people from Dali Temple!"

As soon as Lu Si said this, Chen Tiancai was completely panicked.

Chen Tian knew very well what the county yamen were capable of and the officials and masters, so even if the yamen of the two districts came together to "clean" the district, Chen Tian would not panic.

But Dali Temple is different, the officials and masters there are all elites who investigate court murders, big cases, and important cases.

Listening to the descriptions of their peers, the people there have the keen sense of smell like a hunting dog and the sharp insight of a falcon.

"Don't panic, don't panic......

Chen Tian secretly told himself in his heart to be calm.

I just stole some property, and it is impossible to alarm Dali Temple!

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's heart calmed down, and then as if he had thought of something, he looked at Lu Si with sharp eyes.

"Did you leak anything?"

Lu Si was a little hairy by Chen Tian.

"I don't have ......"

Chen Tian knew that Lu Si didn't have a door on his lips, and he liked to brag everywhere, and at this time, he already regretted letting Lu Si know about his treasures that day.

"Chen Tian, I swear, I will definitely leak the slightest rumor this time......

Lu Si's sworn appearance made Chen Tian choose for the time being

I chose to believe.

If Lu Si hadn't leaked the news, then Dali Temple wouldn't have come to arrest him, so what were they here for......

"Did you hear anything? Why did the government mobilize the people this time?"

"No, this time the government is very tight-mouthed, and we have a lot of guys who think they have some connections in the government, and they want to find out some news, but in the end, they all fall into the tiger's mouth. The guys in the government who used to collect money all turned their faces and didn't recognize people, and they caught thieves when they saw them, and they didn't show any mercy at all......."

Chen Tian had a faint bad premonition.

With such a large formation, it stands to reason that it is impossible to catch such a thief as himself, but in case these people are holding the grass and beating rabbits, they will find out something, and they will arrest themselves by the way......

"Chen Tian, don't be stunned! Pack up, let's get away......

Chen Tian was unmoved.

"No, I'll have to go back and find out what these things are......

"What? Go back and check? You're still going to that yard?!"

Lu Si looked at Chen Tian in shock, feeling that he was crazy.

Chen Tian's eyes were firm, and he said, "I have to find out, otherwise this batch of treasures won't be able to make a move!"

Lu Si, who had regained a trace of his senses, understood that what Chen Tian said made sense, but he was still very resistant in his heart.

Chen Tian took out a bag of treasures from his arms, and then stuffed them into Lu Si's arms without saying anything.

"You take this bag of treasure to the Black Rock District to hide, and when the wind passes, we'll see you in City A."

Lu Si was a little bored, looking at the heavy cloth bag in his arms.

"Chen Tian...... You're ......."

"Remember, don't open it, you can't sell it! If I don't come back in three days, you'll leave the Imperial Capital with these things."

Without waiting for Lu Si to refute, Chen Tian walked out of the room.

Chen Tian ate a bowl of noodles at the noodle stall where he often eats, which is considered to have solved breakfast and lunch, and has been looking around during the period.

I didn't find the government's arrest, and it seems that I haven't found this side yet.

Chen Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, paid the face money, and blended into the flow of people.

Stop and go all the way, and it is already dusk when you reach Shunfeng District.

Chen Tian sat on the stone steps on the side of the road, eating the buns in his hand while digesting what he had seen and heard today.

The catch fast in each district is more diligent than the previous patrol, among which the Kaicheng district gathers the most fast catch, including the errand of Dali Temple.

"If it is really the case reported by that son, then it stands to reason that it should be searched and arrested in Shunfeng District first, and the focus should not be Kaicheng District. After all, the yard where I lost things is in Shunfeng District......

But thinking of this, Chen Tian instantly denied this idea.

Where is the imperial capital where thieves gather, not only the thieves know it, but the government is also clear.

Therefore, instead of casting a wide net, it is better to focus on fishing directly in the base area of the thieves, even if you can't catch people, you can still find clues.

While this is indeed the most effective approach, it also requires a significant investment of manpower.

The government has not "exterminated" the thieves in Kaicheng District for so many years, not only because everyone has a subtle "tacit understanding", but also because "there is nothing to be done".

But this time is different, the government not only formed a "siege" of the thieves in Kaicheng District, but also used the shadows that have developed over the years to catch several big thieves.

If it weren't for Chen Tian and Lu Si running fast today, they would already be turtles in the urn at this time.

At night, Chen Tian climbed onto the roof of Tang Huaide's courtyard again, lightly removed a tile, and peeked down.

According to the rules that Chen Tian had mastered a few times before, Tang Huaide should have been outside at this time, and it was not yet time to take the girls back to the courtyard to "rest".

But today was an exception, Chen Tian saw Tang Huaide pacing back and forth in the hall below, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and Tang Huaide hurriedly greeted him when he heard the sound.

Chen Tian was on the roof at this time, and he was able to hide by the night

shape, but also motionless and afraid to move, deeply afraid that the people below will find out.

Chen Tian didn't dare to look up to see who it was, and it wasn't until Tang Huaide welcomed people into the room that he saw the appearance of the person who came.

"Another beautiful girl...... This boy is not shallow......

Chen Tian pursed his lips, inevitably with some envy in his heart.

Of course, Chen Tian didn't know the girl below, but the eldest grandson in Chen Tian's body did.

This person is the eldest girl next to the eldest princess, Jiu'er.

I saw that Tang Huaide at the bottom couldn't bear his nature as soon as he entered the room, and stretched out his salty pig hand to rub the oil.

"Smack!"

Jiu'er slapped Tang Huaide's restless hand away with an indifferent face, and then naturally walked to the main seat and sat down.

Tang Huaide was not angry, as if he was flattering.

"My sister Jiu'er, I haven't seen you for so long, but I miss it so much......

Jiu'er has lived in the palace all the year round, and he has only heard such explicit words in Tang Huaide in his life, and his little face turned red at first, and then quickly returned to an indifferent expression.

"Let's get down to business first."

Tang Huaide was still not in shape, and said, "Isn't what I'm talking about serious......

"Are you the ghost of the government's actions in Kaicheng District in the past two days?"

When Tang Huaide heard this, he suddenly seemed to have been caught with something, and instantly restrained his arrogance, and nodded weakly.

"Dali Temple is also the case you reported?"

Tang Huaide nodded again.

Chen Tian could hear the conversation between the two on the rooftop, and at this time, a huge wave had already stirred up in his heart.

The actions of the government in the past few days have really something to do with themselves! What are the identities of the two people below? What did you steal again, and let the other party spare no effort to arrest you?

"Jiu'er, how do you know? Could it be that this little thing still alarmed my aunt?"

The eldest grandson knew that the aunt Tang Huaide was talking about was the eldest princess.

Jiu'er sneered and said, "It seems that you are not too stupid, knowing that you have alarmed your master."

Tang Huaide was very afraid of the aunt who was not much older than himself, not only because of the other party's power, but also because he knew that in that person's heart, his blood relationship with her was nothing at all, and she could give it up without hesitation if necessary.

Jiu'er was a little panicked when she saw Tang Huaide, and thought that she would just scare him, after all, he was still a prince.

"You said that you, didn't you just lose something, is it necessary to make such a stir up the crowd? Don't you know what the moment is?"

As a result, Jiu'er really saw Tang Huaide with a blank face.

Jiu'er shook her head helplessly, she had been with the eldest princess for a long time, and she usually came into contact with either young talents or dignitaries in the officialdom.

Whether it is the vision or the city, this prince of Tang Huaide is not just 108,000 miles.

That is, this pair of skins can still be handled.

"It's autumn hunting now, and it's about to come to the end of the year. The adults in the court are eager to be a man with their tails between their legs, and you are still looking for lost belongings with such fanfare. At this critical time, if you break the master...... Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you."

Jiu'er closed his mouth and stopped counting Tang Huaide, took a sip of tea, and said the true purpose of this trip.

I saw Jiu'er's little face slightly red, and her voice was a little stumbling.

"Well, we were here last time...... At that time, I left a belly pocket...... Where?"
