Chapter 20 Breaking Wealth and Avoiding Disasters

The head catcher is breathless, and his face is as nauseous and uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Elder Shi replied expressionlessly: "Besides, I don't steal or rob, but actively arrest the snitch, and many innkeepers have seen this with their own eyes. ”

"As soon as the official came, the sword was unsheathed, and he looked like a teacher asking for crimes, why, the Tang Dynasty law also stipulates that non-officials are not allowed to act bravely and arrest thieves?"

"You ......"

The total head catcher was robbed one after another, and his heart was angry, but the skills shown by the other party made him dare not act rashly.

At the moment, he just said angrily: "Since you are a chivalrous warrior who acts bravely in the face of righteousness, why don't you send the female snitch to the official after taking it, nor return the thief's stolen goods to the owner, but invite the female snitch into the house to talk?" ”

Li Fei said with a righteous and awe-inspiring face: "Naturally, I intend to interrogate the origin of the female snitch and find out where her lair is, so that I can catch all of them." ”

The chief catcher was stunned when he heard this, and the horizontal knife in his hand involuntarily lowered a few points.

He asked suspiciously, "Is that really the case?" ”

Li Fei said categorically: "It's true. ”

The chief catcher said: "Then do you have a result?" ”

Li Fei sighed and shook his head, and said with annoyance: "I'm ashamed, I'm also careless, that female snitch is really cunning." ”

"She pretended to be restrained, so that we relaxed our vigilance, and after entering the house, she suddenly attacked, so that Ji escaped."

A wave of anger suddenly rushed to his head, and his voice almost came out of his throat: "You take us for fools? ”

Li Fei said seriously: "I have no such intention, at that time, the female snitch spilled smoke as soon as she entered the door, and she used the hidden weapon swallow golden dart to stop me and wait." ”

"I was caught off guard, and she escaped through the window, and one of our companions has chased him out, vowing to recover what the female snitch stole from him."

"I'm waiting for a chivalrous heart, but being so maliciously speculated by others, it's really chilling."

“……”

Always catch the head with his mouth open, but he can't say a word.

It was true that the female snitch used the swallow golden dart, but he also knew that what Li Fei said was not true.

With the martial arts shown by the other party, if you use your hands, you may not be able to take down the other party, and you may even suffer heavy casualties.

So you don't have to think about taking down the other party and torture them, but if you just go back like this, but you can't explain it, how can this be good?

The chief catcher was silent for a moment with a stiff face, and suddenly said: "I haven't asked for advice yet, where do you come from, and what do you call them?" ”

Li Fei glanced at Lin Yueru out of the corner of her eye, and she immediately understood.

At the moment, he took half a step forward and took the initiative to speak: "My father, Lin Tiannan, the lord of Suzhou Linjiabao Fort." ”

The chief catcher was shocked on his face, but he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly returned the knife into the sheath, hugged his fists and bowed down: "It turned out that it was Miss Lin in front of her, and she was disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Now he finally doesn't have to be in a dilemma, Suzhou Linjiabao is a behemoth in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has to give him some face in black and white.

Even the history of Yangzhou Thorn also needs to be polite for three points, Yangzhou is too guarded in front of others, and may not even be able to speak.

As for himself, in front of Lin Jiabao, it was a fart.

Just when the chief catcher was secretly happy that he could have an explanation, and the rich businessman was full of despair, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Li Fei's side.

But it was Li Xiaoyao who returned, carrying the burden in his hand, and said, "Big brother, that female snitch is too cunning, and when she saw that she couldn't get rid of me, she deliberately threw this burden into the river." ”

"I had no choice but to take the burden back first, but when I caught the burden and jumped back, the female snitch was gone."

"My ...... My baggage. When the rich merchant saw his burden, his eyes widened, and he turned from despair to ecstasy, and hurriedly stepped forward to take back his burden.

Lin Yueru stopped him with a raised hand and said, "Wait a minute, you said that this burden is yours is yours?" ”

The rich merchant hurriedly said: "This is mine!" I can clearly tell what's in it. ”

Lin Yueru said after a while: "Even if this burden is yours, I can't pay you back now." ”

The rich businessman's fat face turned red, and he said angrily: "Why? Even if you are the eldest lady of the Lin family, you can't swallow my things in front of everyone, right? ”

Lin Yueru's eyes widened, and she said, "What did you say?" ”

The chief catcher on the side also said in a cool voice: "Be careful when you speak, Lin Jiabao has business all over the world, his family is rich, and he is rich enough to rival the country, will the eldest lady take a fancy to you?" ”

The rich businessman's breath was stagnant, and he felt a basin of cold water poured down his head, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Lin Yueru snorted coldly: "It seems that you don't know anything about the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so Miss Ben will tell you about it." ”

"Originally, as long as we can be sure that this is your thing, we will return it to you, and there will be no trouble at all."

"Because if you don't report to the official, then our act of helping you recover the lost property is a private act, at most we are brave and chivalrous."

"But if you report to the official, it's very different, now this burden is a thief, and it is also the evidence of the crime of convicting the female snitch in the future, how can you take it back?"

"According to the law, we have to hand over this bag to the government first, and then you can get it back after the government catches the female snitch and uses it as evidence to convict the female snitch."

After saying this, she looked at the chief catcher and asked, "Am I right?" ”

The head catcher bowed with his fists in his fists, and said with a very dog-legged smile: "What the eldest lady said is extremely true, it seems that the eldest lady knows the Tang Dynasty laws and regulations well, and admires and admires them." ”

After speaking, his chest straightened, and he said to the rich businessman with a businesslike appearance: "Since you have gone to the government to report the case, and the government has also filed a case, it is reasonable, this burden should be handed over to the government office first, and after the case is closed, you will come to retrieve the lost property." ”

"This ...... This ......"

The rich merchant's face turned blue and white for a while, and the whole person was confused.

He watched Li Xiaoyao hand over the burden to the chief catcher, and the appearance of the officials and people on both sides as a family, and suddenly his intestines were repentant, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice.

I already knew that the official who reported a fart! It's just nothing to do.

Counting on the unconscious official to catch the female snitch, it is better to expect the female snitch to find out and help him steal the burden back.

Inadvertently saw Lin Yueru sneering and glancing at him, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the rich businessman's mind.

She did it on purpose, she could have returned the burden directly, but she deliberately handed it over to the government as evidence of guilt.

She was taking revenge, and she was annoyed that I reported to the official to make trouble for them, so she deliberately tricked me like this.

The wealthy businessman who wanted to understand this had deeper regret in his heart, but now it was too late to regret it.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and they provoke Miss Lin, can they still have his good?

Li Fei didn't say anything about it, this time it was only with his intervention that it would be so easy to solve.

This guy doesn't know what to do, so in the original play, he bit Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru back, causing the two to be punished for no reason and suffered a prison sentence.

Originally, I thought that this time the purple gold gourd was not lost, and this guy would never produce any more moths.

Who knows that he just went into the house and chatted with Ji Sanniang for a while, he brought all the official errands, who else would he fix?

"Thank you to the eldest lady and this hero for helping to recover this incriminating evidence, and if the female snitch can be brought to justice in the future, it will all depend on the two volunteers."

Lin Yueru waved her hand and said: "Xie doesn't have to, it's just that we still have important things to go to the capital, but this Yangzhou is not allowed to enter or leave, and please keep the head catcher for us and tell Taishou to be accommodating." ”

Hearing this, the chief catcher patted his chest and said: "No problem, I will report to Taishou truthfully and get a pass token for the eldest lady." ”

"In this way, I won't disturb your rest below, and I will take my leave."

"Always catch your head and walk slowly."

The chief catcher hugged Li Fei and the others again, and left with the valuable burden satisfied.

God knows when the female snitch will be caught, or if the female snitch can be caught, then this bag of belongings ...... Hey.

Lin Yueru glanced at the depressed rich businessman, and Shi Shiran said, "Let's go, go back to sleep." ”

Li Xiaoyao said very cooperatively, "We risked our lives to help people seize lost property, but our kindness was not rewarded, and we were treated as thieves and worked all night in vain." ”

Lin Yueru said angrily: "That's it, I offended the female snitch for no reason, so you have to be careful when you sleep in the future." ”

The rich businessman was almost about to vomit blood, and those belongings fell into the hands of the dog official of Yangzhou Taishou, and it was a fool's dream to get it back.

And Lin Yueru, a stinky girl, is Miss Lin Jiabao, and he can't afford to mess with her.

It's over, it's all over.

Listening to Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru singing and harmonizing, constantly stimulating the rich businessman, Li Fei couldn't help but sigh.

However, he ignored the rich merchant and went back to his room.

In fact, it is not a bad thing that he lost these belongings, at least he can save his life.

If Gu Yanji Sanniang is not caught, Yangzhou Taishou will not lift the ban, and he will not be able to get out of the city.

Then he naturally wouldn't because of this, he bumped into the golden toad ghost mother Liu Meiniang in Toad Mountain and was killed by her, which can be regarded as a ruin and disaster.

However, that purple gold gourd, Li Fei would not let it fall into the hands of Yangzhou Taishou.

The bottom of the purple gold gourd is engraved with a spirit gourd spell, which can collect monsters to refine the spirit gourd elixir.

It's just a little troublesome, you have to beat the monster to the brink of death, but you can't really kill it, so that the monster can be successfully collected and refined into the Linghu Elixir.

This thing has the same nature as a spirit Gu, but the individual effect is far inferior.

The principle is to refine the monster, leaving only its pure aura to form an elixir.

There are injuries to heal injuries, and no injuries are increased.

In the early hours of the morning, Li Fei, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly stretched out his hand and probed in front of him, his arm directly submerged into the void, and when he took it out again, the purple gold gourd was already in his palm.

……

Early the next morning.

Li Fei took Lin Yueru out of the inn and headed east of the city, passing through a few streets before turning north.

When you arrive at the northeast corner of Deyang City, you can see a large mansion.

The house is located in a very secluded location, and from a distance, there seem to be many white lanterns swaying, but it looks like a mourning home.

Lin Yueru stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the beautiful and charming Ji Sanniang, dressed in a black thin shirt, opened the door.

Without much communication, the two went directly into the house.

"Sanniang, the so-called 'widower has less smoke on the roof, and there are many widows in front of the door', why don't you use widows to hide your identity? Don't you know that this is more likely to attract attention? ”

Listening to Li Fei's words, Ji Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Childe's words make a lot of sense, it seems that I will have to change my way in the future." ”

This sentence comes from the Qing Dynasty's "Jigong Quanbiography", and there is no such thing in this era, so it is because of such a reasonable statement to Li Fei, Ji Sanniang is greatly admired.

Seeing that Ji Sanniang was as good as a stream, Li Fei nodded appreciatively, then said no more, and followed Ji Sanniang to the back house.

Entering the back house, several maids with glittering eyes and sharp eyes stepped forward and saluted Li Fei wordlessly.

What happened last night, Ji Sanniang's subordinates already know about it, and they will also be the mainstay of the sect created by Ji Sanniang in the future.

They are also very grateful to Li Fei, the person who gave them a great opportunity.

Ji Sanniang didn't make much introductions, and they only saw the ceremony, so they retreated.

When she arrived at a well in the back house, Ji Sanniang said to Li Fei: "Son, all the property I stole is here." ”

Li Fei nodded with satisfaction, knowing that she didn't play any tricks, and he who was familiar with the original plot naturally knew that those belongings were indeed in it.

The three of them jumped into the well one after another, and there was naturally not a drop of water in the well, but it was actually a wide cave at the bottom of the well.

Along the passage of the crypt, the underground is very ventilated and dry, and the passage is clean and dusty.

At the end of the day, a spacious secret room appeared in front of me.

Ji Sanniang lit a few oil lamps, and saw that in addition to a dozen or so large boxes with gorgeous decorations, the ground was also full of gold, silver and jewelry.

Under the light of the oil lamp, all kinds of treasures shine so brightly that even people's eyes can hardly open them.

However, it is clear that the gold and silver are not valuable at all, so they will be piled up on the ground at will, and the valuable ones must be the contents of the chest.

Ji Sanniang took out a bunch of keys from her waist and opened the ten boxes one after another, and saw that there were some porcelain bottles and jade, gems and pearls, and calligraphy and painting scrolls stored inside.

Even with Lin Yueru's knowledge, she couldn't help but be secretly amazed, and at the same time a little speechless.

I didn't expect this Ji Sanniang to steal so many treasures, but they were piled up here like garbage and didn't use anything, which was simply a tyrannical thing.

Ji Sanniang stretched out her hand to the many treasures, and smiled at Li Fei without hesitation: "Son, please." ”

Li Fei nodded, and he was not polite, and with a wave of his hand, he emitted a seven-colored divine light.

When the divine light passed, the ten boxes were empty in an instant, but he didn't ask for the boxes, leaving them to Ji Sanniang to continue loading.

Li Fei only took most of the gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, and did not finish it, after all, Ji Sanniang still has to support a group of subordinates, and he will open a sect in the future, and he also needs some capital.

"This gold and silver should be enough for you to use as a family, after all, with your ability, this place will be filled again soon."

"In the future, when we help the poor, we will leave your name as a flying cat, first, to let the people who receive help know who the benefactor is, and second, to give you cover."

Ji Sanniang listened to Li Fei's words and was greatly moved.

She became a snitch, as she herself said, just because of her hobby.

The Yangzhou Annihilation Tragedy was committed by Liu Meiniang, the ghost mother of the golden toad, and it had nothing to do with her, she only stole money, but rarely killed her.

So she didn't value these belongings, but Li Fei was able to think about her and leave her some household money, which had to make her grateful.

This proves that Li Fei approves of what she has done, and Li Fei's way of making a name for her is tantamount to the danger he bears, but the reputation is her own.

The most important thing is that Li Fei is helping the poor in the name of flying cats elsewhere, which is bound to attract the attention of the government, which is very huge for her.

Because doesn't this mean that Flying Tmall is not in Yangzhou City?

"Childe Gaoyi, Sanniang Minggan is five." Ji Sanniang bowed to Li Feiying and said sincerely.

"Okay, everything is over here, let's say goodbye, the mountains and rivers have met, I hope that the next time we meet, you have become a real thief who praises the poor people."

……

When I went out, I didn't go to the well again, but went out through the exit of Ji Sanniang's room.

Li Fei didn't let Ji Sanniang send him off, and after leaving the mansion with Lin Yueru, he went straight back to the inn.

When they returned to the inn, Li Xiaoyao handed a token to Li Fei, saying that it was sent by the chief catcher, and with this token, they could get out of the city smoothly.

At that moment, everyone packed their bags and prepared to go.

Now that the ban on Yangzhou has not been resolved, not only people can't get out, but also boats.

If you want to take a boat, you can go to the city and cross Toad Mountain to a town dock on the other side of the mountain.

The group walked out of the gate of the inn, and Li Fei was surprised to see that four Miao warriors were guarding a sedan chair.

"Elder Shi, what is this?"

Elder Shi said: "This trip is far away, and the princess is weak and not suitable for long-distance travel, so the old man ordered them to buy a sedan chair." ”

Li Fei smiled and said, "Elder Shi is very thoughtful. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly said, "Elder Shi, what are you doing here?" Everyone is walking, how can I sit in a sedan chair alone? ”

Li Xiaoyao persuaded: "Ling'er, listen to Elder Shi!" Your current situation is not suitable for walking too far. ”

Lin Yueru also gently pinched Zhao Ling'er's delicate face, and said with a smile: "Yes, I can't wait to carry you all the way, but you definitely don't want to." ”

"If you don't even want to sit in a sedan chair, then I really have to consider carrying you away."

Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can I be so weak and can't help it!" It's just a few steps, it's okay. ”

Li Feiwen said: "Ling'er, this is Elder Shi's heart, don't shirk it." ”

Seeing that it was difficult to disobey the will of the people, Zhao Linger had no choice but to bow down and enter the sedan chair, and the four Miao guards lifted the sedan chair lightly, and the group went to the south of the city.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Li Fei showed the token sent by the chief catcher, went out of the city smoothly, and walked all the way along the official road.

The main means of transportation in the Tang Dynasty were cars, horses, boats, and of course, walking.

However, according to the records in the "New Tang Dynasty Book and Chefu Zhi", ordinary people are not allowed to ride.

The only class of ordinary people who are eligible to ride is elderly women, and ordinary people even have restrictions on horseback riding.

Those who are not official shall wear coarse kudzu cloth, official alms, green copper and iron belts, and take Shu horses and iron stirrups.

The officials wear purple coarse cloth and blue iron belts, the middle officials do not wear yarn and silk, the children do not wear scarves, and the merchants, people, monks, and Taoist priests do not ride horses.

That is to say, ordinary people are not allowed to ride horses and carriages when traveling.

Therefore, in the original play, Li Xiaoyao and they walked all the way to Nanzhao, neither riding horses nor carriages, not because they couldn't afford it, but because they didn't follow the rules and would cause trouble.

However, the sedan chair is not very particular, anyone can sit on it.
