The commotion outside seemed to last all night, with one quieting and the other rising and bustling until dawn.

But after daybreak, there was a commotion in the streets.

"What's going on?"

"It was said that there was a thief, and the house of Master Lin in Beiqiaotou was stolen."

"No, it's not right, it's Old Man Sun's house on South Street."

"No, the roof of Master Lin's house has been trampled on."

"There is blood on the ground outside Master Sun's house."

"Blood? Is that a thief or a bandit? ”

Talking everywhere, the shop guys in Ruyifang were fascinated, holding the door panel and forgetting the movement, until the sound of gurgling wheels came, accompanied by a heavy cough "What are you doing!" ”

The two shopkeepers hurriedly turned around and looked at Wei Dongjia, who walked out of the wheeled cart from behind the window lattice.

"The proprietor, the proprietor, is talking about thieves outside." They hurriedly said.

Wei Dongjia glared: "The thieves don't take care of the store well, they are all careful." With that, he went in with a wheeled cart.

The two shop guys grimaced at each other and continued to be busy.

After the morning inspection, Wei Dongjia returned to his room, entered the inner room, entered the secret door, and came to another room.

Here, Shopkeeper Lu and Chief Meng Xi were sitting and talking.

"The proprietor, it's already arranged." The shopkeeper Lu said, "Today, I will take the delivery car and leave, and Lao Cao will arrange it at the city gate." ”

Meng Xichang looked regretful: "It's a pity that the thief escaped." ”

Wei Dongjia said: "It should be said that you are safe and sound, after all, this time it is the thief who is hunting you." ”

This sound like a good thing, but it always feels weird, and Meng Xichang didn't react to what to say for a while.

In the end, this mean problem has fallen to the root, Shopkeeper Lu glared at Wei Dongjia, and said to Meng Xichang: "Stay in the green mountains, the future will be long, Meng Xia Shi should not be discouraged." ”

Meng Xichang smiled heartily: "Of course, it is better for him to kill me, I am willing to use my body as bait, and I must eliminate this harm for the people." ”

Shopkeeper Lu nodded: "This is our ambition." ”

Meng Xichang bowed his hand: "Help me disguise, let's set off, so as not to cause trouble." ”

What was the shopkeeper Lu about to say, a rapid knocking sound sounded outside one wall, Wei Dongjia shook the wheel car and pressed the mechanism, the wall slowly turned, and a person walked in from the other side.

"Master Cao?" Shopkeeper Lu was a little surprised, and then his expression was solemn, "Is there any trouble?" ”

Cao Dian's official gasped slightly, obviously coming in a hurry, he didn't care about answering the shopkeeper Lu, and only looked at Meng Xichang: "Meng Xia...."

Speaking of which, he gasped again.

Wei Dongjia hurriedly said: "Where is it like this!" ”

Shopkeeper Lu handed water to Cao Dian.

Cao Dianguan took two sips and took a deep breath: "You old Wei, I'm older than you, what's wrong with taking two breaths?" ”

Wei Dongjia glared: "It's good for you to quarrel." ”

Cao Dian's official smiled, stopped fighting with him, and looked at Meng Xichang and raised his hand and saluted: "Meng Xia is mighty, and the thief Shi Feng is dead." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the room were stunned.

"I didn't kill him." Meng Xichang said, looking surprised, "I only stabbed him once, and he avoided the vital point." ”

Wei Dongjia and Shopkeeper Lu were also surprised, they already knew the details of last night, Meng Xichang was almost injured by Shi Feng's poisonous powder, and it was also that Shi Feng who lit the fireworks, causing a commotion, and took the opportunity to escape.

Actually, dead?

......

......

"When I searched the city last night, I found a corpse in an alley on North Street."

"At first, I thought it was a person who was killed by thieves, but after asking around in the alley, no one got lost."

"I checked half of the city with the portrait, and a few women recognized it as a flower seller, from the village on the other side of the Hangu Temple, surnamed Huang."

"The officials rushed overnight and found that Huang Laohan had been killed for many days, and then asked the neighbors around him, saying that a nephew came a few days ago, but these people said that in fact, Huang Laohan had no nephew at all."

Cao Dian's official told everyone about the process, of course, he was reminded in advance, knowing that the thief was pretending to be a flower seller, and he was almost ready to listen, seeing that the officials and officials were discussing and guessing the true identity of the corpse, he pretended to be abrupt outside the crowd, saying that he was a little familiar.

Then from the treasury turned out (in fact, it has been prepared a long time ago) the annual Xiecha Di newspaper.

Everyone in the government recognized it, and they were suddenly shocked.

Although he knew about it earlier, Cao Dianzhi was as shocked as everyone else.

As the murderer, Meng Xichang was also shocked: "But he was really fine at the time, and I really didn't hurt the vital point." Speaking of this, he looked at the three people in the room, "Could it be that the people on your side who cleaned up the aftermath did it?" ”

Although the ranger is alone, it does not mean that he has to be alone, and he will cooperate against the villains.

Wei Dongjia smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, the shopkeeper Lu and the Cao Dian.

"We? Who can help you kill the thief who even misses you? He said, "Oh, there's a girl out there, a little beggar." ”

Old and young, it is indeed unlikely, Meng Xichang frowned.

"Meng Xia, don't be modest, and don't doubt it anymore." Cao Dian's official laughed and said, "That thief is indeed dead at your hand." ”

He gestured with his hand.

"I watched the autopsy with my own eyes, and there was only one sword wound on the thief's body, and this is it."

Meng Xichang looked at him and pointed to the position: "That's right, I did stab him here, but..."

"But." Cao Dian's official took over with a smile, "I said that although the location of the wound did not seem to be critical, it was very deep, so the thief thought it was okay, but in fact he was seriously injured, and he fell down while running, silently losing too much blood and dying in the alley." ”

I see, the three people in the room looked suddenly, that's right.

"Congratulations to Meng Xia for eliminating harm for the people." Cao Dianzhi said again.

Meng Xichang picked up the tea on the table and poured it on the ground: "The victims can rest assured. ”

As he spoke, there was another banging on the wall.

Wei Dongjia went to open the door again, and Qixing walked in.

"Ah Qi, you're just in time." The three people in the room said at the same time.

At the same time, after speaking, they were stunned and looked at each other.

Wei Dongjia snorted: "Let them tell you the good news." ”

Shopkeeper Lu didn't care about the yin and yang weirdness of the Wei Dong family, and said that Meng Xichang had already killed the thief, and Cao Dian's official added on the side.

Qixing listened carefully and nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations to Meng Xia for eliminating harm for the people." Shopkeeper Lu said again.

Meng Xichang arched his hand and thanked him: "Thank you for your help." ”

Seven Stars bowed: "You're welcome." ”

Meng Xichang was slightly stunned, the youngest child in the room said that he didn't expect this, and then looked at the others, the shopkeeper Lu closed his open mouth, and the Wei Dongjia who was riding the wheeled car didn't mean to speak, and Cao Dian's eyes smiled.

He thought again that when he first came, it was this girl who spoke first, looking like a family member.

Could it be that he is really the new head of Xitang's family?

Meng Xichang looked at this girl and asked solemnly, "What do you call the master?" Meng Xichang kept it in mind. ”

The girl said calmly, "Seven stars." ”

......

......

The thief is dead, but the thief's death has become an unsolved case, and the government still has to investigate, so Meng Xichang set off immediately according to the arrangement.

Seeing the tall and heavy car loaded with all kinds of furniture and goods slowly drive out of Ruyi Fang, the shopkeeper Lu who was standing at the door to send him off glanced at Wei Dongjia.

"Let's change our family?" He whispered, "Boss, are you going to let Xian?" ”

Previously, in front of Meng Xichang, Qixing also put on a posture of being in charge, and they did not correct or stop it.

Shopkeeper Lu felt a little funny in his heart.

Wei Dongjia glanced at him: "What kind of xian?" I'm waiting for ascension. ”

As I said before, Qixing is the head, and he wants to be an elder, and the hall master can't look down on him.

Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help laughing anymore.

The passers-by next to him saw it, and their faces were full of envy, "Ruyifang has done a big business again, and the shopkeeper is happy, and his teeth are showing his teeth with a smile." ”
