Chapter 30: The Upper Valley Thief (I)

"What's wrong? You don't look good. Ouyang hung a homemade bath towel around his neck and ate with chopsticks: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Xiao Qing grinned: "Young master, are you sure of the provincial test?" ”

"Nope." Ouyang said unconcernedly: "It's not that you don't know my knowledge, it can be said that you are a belly of straw." In Hangzhou, if it weren't for Mingqing's help, let alone Xie Yuan, it is estimated that he would also rank first from the bottom among the people who fell off the list. ”

"If the young master is a straw bale, the capital is full of straw bales." Xiaoqing was telling the truth, Ouyang knew more than she thought. The most powerful can also invent entertainment tools: poker. After Xiaoqing played a few times, he became obsessed with fighting landlords. At night, he was coquettish, and begged Fei Ouping and Ouyang to play together. But what is strange about her is that Ouyang can kill all sides as soon as she is sleepy, and when she has nothing to do, she grabs four bombs and blows herself back to sleep. Xiaoqing dreamed several times that she stepped on Ouyang with one foot, and asked with an eyebrow thorn in her hand: Say! Why are you taking four bombs. Ouyang begged for mercy in his dream: Woman, I took it for you. Xiao Qing thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's the situation?" Ouyang looked around, and then touched his face, there was nothing wrong.

"No, no!" Xiaoqing couldn't help but smile: "Young master, after dinner, let's continue to fight the landlord, okay?" ”

"Still fighting? You've been fighting for half a month, aren't you tired? Ouyang complained bitterly, originally just passing the time to make playing cards, but he didn't expect this little girl to be addicted to playing. Addiction is addiction, and the level is not good, except for losing or losing. Don't say that you cheat, even if you don't cheat, the dead girl is basically losing. That card skill is called a stink. Ouyang always felt that he was abusing the young ~ woman, and he even deliberately released the water, this girl was still staring at the cards in her hand, concentrating, as if she was worried that if she didn't look at it, the cards would be gone.

"Yes, yes." Xiaoqing uses the Great Method.

As she thought, Ouyang immediately got goosebumps: "Good, good, good." Please, don't you feel sick when you eat, okay? But...... This thing is only for us to play in private, and we are not allowed to leak it. ”

"Why?"

"Folk gambling is crazy enough, if there is such a simple, convenient and cheap gambling equipment, wouldn't it be even crazier?"

Xiaoqing praised: "The young master is worried about the world first......

Ouyang was embarrassed: "I just don't want to poison the people." "I can't bring advanced technology, and I don't need to bring a bunch of messy things.

That night, the three of them got together to fight the landlord. Half an hour later, Xiaoqing's face was painted with turtles, Xiaoqing washed his face and wanted to continue, Ouyang gave Ou Ping four bombs, took four more for himself, and Yizhuang beat Xiaoqing into a turtle with a full face. Xiaoqing could only breathe back to her room to sleep. She decided to continue the dream of ravaging Ouyang yesterday in her dreams at night.

From Yangping to Bianliang, they still need to pass through an Shanggu County, and as soon as the three of them enter the Shanggu ground, they find that the atmosphere in this county is tense. At the intersection, four officials with knives were checking everyone who left the county, and even Ouyang, who entered the county, was also checked. After Ouyang inquired, he learned that there was a Jiangyang thief hiding in Shanggu County. A few days before the incident, a Jiangyang thief named Flying God Mouse, who was supposed to be escorted to the state capital for execution, suddenly broke into prison and escaped after killing two prison officials.

After the discovery, the village soldiers and officials went out in all directions to block all the intersections out of the city. Since winter had arrived, it was impossible for the flying rat to jump into the forest, so the yamen laid a net in Shanggu to capture the thief. The Flying Divine Rat is strong in martial arts and notorious, and this incident happened near Jingshi, and local officials took it very seriously.

Ouyang also learned that Zhanming, the head catcher in this county, was not an ordinary person, and he was the one who fought the Flying God Mouse to capture him before. It's just that because the three-day limit has passed, Zhan Ming was reprimanded by the county order, and then gave him the last three days, if he didn't get the flying god mouse, he would be imprisoned for dereliction of duty.

All the way in, almost everyone was talking about the Flying God Mouse, saying that this person could fly the eaves and walk the wall, and he was invulnerable. Ouyang dismounted and chatted with people all the way into the city, and he was also a little angry in his heart. It's hard to say how this flying god rat's martial arts are, but it's a lot of crimes. Under the slogan of robbing the rich and helping the poor, they looted everywhere. There were no less than 100 murders in his hands, and there were also charges of rape and murder, arson and so on. And as soon as he escaped from prison, he robbed and killed a family, and the county government hung a hundred taels of silver to arrest him, but there was no news, and the flying mouse seemed to disappear into the world.

Ouyang had seen a lot of bandits when he was a policeman, and he knew that these people had already lived a day as their last day, and there was no humanity to speak of. Even if you haven't met, there's no reason not to help if you meet now. Invulnerable? Ouyang didn't believe it, he believed in martial arts, such as the female thief in Xincheng, who was dexterous and fast, and he thought that he would fall with one move. And according to his analysis, the Flying God Rat should not reach the level of a female thief. Otherwise, it would have been killed a long time ago, so why be trapped in the county?

"Close the doors and windows today." In the inn, Ouyang ignored Xiao Qingdou's landlord's Dafa and said, "I'm going to go out and have a look." ”

Ou Ping immediately said nervously: "Young Master, you don't want to get the Flying God Mouse, do you?" ”

"I guess this man sleeps during the day and haunts at night."

"But young master, you are bare-handed, what if you are met by a thief?"

"I'll shout for help." Ouyang grinned.

Ouyang went out, and Xiaoqing said anxiously: "Why don't you stop him?" ”

Ou Ping shook his head: "He is the young master, and besides, I believe that the young master will be able to do it." ”

"Okay, you're big. I went to sleep. Xiaoqing huffed back to the room, changed into a set of clothes and slipped out.

……

It was only a day ago, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, only the occasional passing by the village brave patrol organized by the mayor. The township soldiers cannot be dispatched, and the intersection checks and shifts are already used to the limit, and they have to worry about the safety of county officials and other factors, so the people can only take care of themselves.

Ouyang's dress as a scribe did not make the patrol suspicious, and next March will be the provincial test, and there will be a lot of people in Shanggu County one after another. And the fugitive is a tall and strong man in his thirties, it can't be Ouyang. The lieutenant only kindly reminded Ouyang to go back to the inn quickly.

Fugitives hiding in the countryside are inferior, because everyone in the countryside knows each other, and it is difficult for multiple people to come out without being discovered. Those who hide in the barren mountains and wild collars are medium, because it is inconvenient to find food in life. The smartest is the city, firstly, it is normal for people to come and go, secondly, there is abundant supply, thirdly, there are still hostages when they are captured, and fourthly, the terrain of the city is complex, unlike the countryside and barren mountains and plain rivers.

Ouyang has outlined one of the biggest possibilities, that is, the criminal hides in a certain family's house, takes hostages, and forces relatives not to report him, or to get food for himself. This may be Ouyang's possibility, that is, if he is a fugitive, he must choose such a way to avoid the wind.

If it is yourself, you must choose a store, so that you can know the movements of officers and soldiers in the attic or the inner hall, and an open store is also the place where you will not be suspicious. Ouyang had already imagined that the criminal had taken the wife or child of a certain boss hostage, and the boss was doing business while opening the business, and at the same time he wanted to provide the criminal with food and drink. If you come to check, you will only ask the boss if he has seen any suspicious people or something like that.

Make bold assumptions and verify carefully. From eating, drinking, and Lazar to eliminate the possible location of the criminal's hiding, the synthesis of various information to reduce the criminal's hiding place to a minimum.
