Chapter 234: Asking Around
Feiyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that Gao Wei had been beheaded, but the boat gang still hadn't appeared. He immediately turned around and walked towards the dart board with Liangchen, Meijing, Lian'er, Tianxiang, Feixiang and Feiying.
Feiyun originally wanted Lian'er to stay in the mansion, but Lian'er said that it was not interesting for her to stay alone, so she had to follow Feiyun. Feiyun couldn't resist her, and he didn't want to disappoint her, so he had to agree
On the way, Meijing said to Liangchen: "Second sister, it seems that your judgment was wrong this time, and the boat gang did not come to rob the Dharma field. What do you say is going on? Could they just throw in the towel? ”
Liangchen was also puzzled and said, "Yes, this is indeed beyond my expectations. Maybe Li Zhen thinks that Gao Wei is useless anymore, so he doesn't want to risk saving people anymore! ”
Feiyun saw that Liangchen was sullen, and hurriedly relieved: "Second sister, you don't have to think about it. Zhuge Liang is also at fault for losing the street pavilion, and no one can really do it! ”
Tianxiang also persuaded: "Sister Liangchen, Brother Lin is right. In fact, the boat gang didn't come to rob the Dharma field, which is a good thing for each other. Otherwise, there will be casualties. You still want to open the point, don't take this matter to heart. ”
Liangchen had a cheerful personality, and with the persuasion of Feiyun and others, he quickly returned to normal, and talked and laughed with Meijing, Tianxiang, and Lian'er.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the Bafang Dart Game. Zheng Lang invited a few people into the hall, sat down to watch the tea, and asked, "I heard that Gao Wei will be beheaded today, why didn't you go to the execution ground to watch?" ”
Feiyun replied, "Galway has been decapitated, so let's leave quickly." ”
Zheng Lang asked curiously, "You guys are in a hurry, there must be something you want me to help with." It doesn't hurt to be straight. ”
Feiyun nodded and said, "There is indeed one thing, ask for help from the seniors, and please advise." After saying that, Feiyun asked Liangchen to tell Zheng Lang everything that happened last night, and asked him if he knew about the Shadowless Thief.
The theft of the official seal, whether it is for the government or for Feiyun, is a very embarrassing and humiliating thing, and it should not be told to Zheng Lang truthfully.
But in order to show sincerity, Liangchen said it without concealment. When Zheng Lang heard that the official seal had been stolen, he was naturally shocked. Of course, he felt trust and joy in Feiyun and Liangchen's frankness.
Zheng Lang thought about it for a while, and then said that he had heard something about the Shadowless Thief. According to Zheng Lang, the Shadowless Thief is a veritable person.
This shadowless thief had not appeared before, and it was only last year that he became famous in the rivers and lakes. This person's martial arts are strong, and his light skills are even more outstanding, and not many people in the rivers and lakes know his specific situation. I only know that he lives on a small island in the river, which he renamed Baihua Island.
The thief was especially fond of flowers and planted many of them on the island. It is said that there are more than 100 different kinds of flowers and plants on the island, so you can enjoy them all year round.
For example, peach blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter. This thief doesn't commit many crimes, only three or four times a year. Every time he committed a crime, he would often help those poor people.
When Meijing heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Chief Darthead, do you know where this island is?" ”
Zheng Lang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid no one knows about this." These situations are still what the dart masters heard when we were walking the darts. ”
Liangchen thought for a while and asked, "Chief Darthead, where did this person commit a crime?" We may deduce from the place where he committed the crime where his home is. ”
Zheng Lang told Liu Shui and others that the thief's first crime was in Ezhou. One night, he infiltrated Taishou's house and stole a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. He left a note identical to that in the house of Zhang Khan Khan, claiming that he wanted to forgive the sin of the corrupt and bribed-taking Taishou.
This Taishou is indeed greedy and ruthless, killing many people. There are many nurses in the Taishou family, but no one is aware of this. Tai Shou strictly ordered the yamen to arrest quickly, but naturally nothing was found.
Soon, the thief went to Jiangzhou to do a case. It was the home of a very wealthy businessman, who was extremely stingy and had never done a single generous thing.
The thief stole a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and also left a "Shadowless thief, visit here." ". The bodyguards hired by the businessmen also knew nothing.
Early the next morning, those poor people in Ezhou opened the door and saw some silver taels in front of the door. Since then, the fame of the Shadowless Thief has spread across both sides of the river.
In the spring of this year, this thief committed a crime in Huangzhou, stealing a bully landlord who was unkind to the rich and oppressed the people. This landlord did a lot of evil, and although the thief did not hurt the landlord's life, he made him a eunuch, and of course he still left the same note.
The thief gave these ill-gotten gains to the poor people of Suzhou, and from then on the people called him a thief!
Zheng Lang finally explained: "However, these are all hearsay, and it is difficult to judge whether they are true or not. ”
After listening to this, Liu Shui had a good impression of this thief, because what he did was chivalrous and righteous. However, Zhang Cambodia just came to Nanyang City, and announced the news that he was going to execute Gao Wei, the bully of Qianzhuang.
Zhang Cambodia is not a corrupt official, and the shadowless thief seems to have no reason to attack him. The thief's behavior was also puzzling, and he did not leave any other demands except for some gold, silver, and jewelry. But to Feiyun's dismay, he still couldn't know where the thief lived.
Liangchen thought about it, but he couldn't judge, so he had to say to Feiyun: "Big brother, it seems that we still have to ask more people." I don't believe in the huge Nanyang City, no one knows! ”
Liangchen reminded Feiyun that Zheng Lang probably knew this. Feiyun reacted, immediately bid farewell to Zheng Lang, and asked him to help find out the news. Zheng Lang knew that Feiyun was going to ask the others, so he agreed to Feiyun's request. Zheng Lang didn't keep it either, and sent Feiyun and them to the gate.
After leaving the dart game, Liangchen saw Feiyun's brows tightly locked, unhappy, and hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, don't be anxious." If we really can't ask for information, we will offer a large reward, and maybe someone will be greedy for money and provide information. When the thief saw it, he might have reached out to us and made a clear request. He has an official seal that is actually useless, and he will feel that it is not worth it! ”
Tianxiang, Lian'er, and Meijing also took turns to persuade them, and Feiyun knew that they were kind and didn't want to be too sad, so he thanked them for their concern.
Feiyun and the others chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the martial arts hall. Zhao Zheng, the owner of the martial arts hall, learned about it and hurriedly invited them into the living room to talk.
After a brief shush, Zhao Zheng thought that Feiyun had come to ask about the Boat Gang, so he told him that he had not yet found out about the Boat Gang's lair. After Feiyun thanked Zhao Zheng, he asked about the Shadowless Thief. Zhao Zheng was stunned and asked Feiyun how he provoked this thief.
Liangchen hurriedly told Zhao Zheng what had happened, but Zhao Zheng knew that the situation was similar to Zheng Lang. Zhao Zheng told Feiyun that this shadowless thief was alone and had no bad deeds.
The martial arts hall does not pay much attention to such people in the rivers and lakes, and only knows a little. However, Zhao Zheng promised Feiyun that he would inquire as soon as possible and arrange for his disciples to find this person. Feiyun was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Zhao Zheng. After chatting with Zhao Zheng for a few words, Feiyun said goodbye.
Leaving the beggar gang, Liangchen saw that Feiyun was in a worse mood, so he said, "Big brother, you don't have to worry. I thought about it, and it wasn't a big deal. ”
Feiyun asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?" ”
Liangchen replied: "Isn't it just that you lost an official seal?" Make another one. The emperor won't do anything to you because of this matter. We simply ignored it, and the anxious person became the thief. ”
Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "What you said is reasonable. I'm not afraid that Wu Zetian will be angry, it's a big deal that we don't have this secret envoy. But when I think about it, I feel very embarrassed and lose face! ”
Liangchen raised his head and looked around, smiled slightly, and said, "Big brother, I just figured it out." I guess this person was probably nearby, watching our every move. If we seem to care too much about it, let him watch the joke from the sidelines, and be proud. If we don't do it properly, he will have the feeling of punching the cotton. He is not at ease in his heart, and he will definitely take action, which will give us a chance! ”
It was almost noon, the weather was getting hotter, and people on the streets were hurrying to walk. Feiyun was awakened by Liangchen's words, and said, "Second sister, what good countermeasures do you have?" ”
Liangchen said coquettishly: "Big brother, I'm hungry and tired, it's time for you to take us to dinner!" Liangchen said as he winked at Feiyun.
Feiyun knew that Liangchen had a new idea, and then saw that Lian'er was already out of breath. It's just that although Lian'er was sweating profusely and was a little unsupportable, she couldn't bear it.
Feiyun immediately said: "Not far in front of you is Yanyu Restaurant, I haven't invited you to a big meal for a long time, today I will let you feast, it can be regarded as a reward for you." ”
Liangchen was suddenly overjoyed, and said in a coquettish voice: "Thank you, big brother!" ”
Feiyun approached Lian'er and said with concern: "Lian'er, don't say a word when you're tired!" ”
Lian'er shyly lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Yun, I'm fine, I can still persevere!" ”
Feiyun took Lian'er's hand, slowly passed over, and said softly: "Don't say it, let's go to dinner, let you have a good rest." You are different from other people, they are all people in the rivers and lakes, and they have become accustomed to it. ”
When they arrived at the door of Yanyu Restaurant, the guys guarding the door saw that it was Feiyun, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly and enthusiastically invited them into the building. At the same time, someone went in to tell Yang Feng.
After a while, Yang Feng walked over and said, "Lin Shaoxia, please go to the backyard and sit down for a while, and arrange the wine and food here." ”
Liangchen said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yang, you have to prepare good and delicious food, you can't simply send us away!" ”
Yang Feng said repeatedly: "Miss Liangchen, even if you borrow ten guts from me, you don't dare to perfunctory you!" ”
Everyone came to the backyard living room while chatting, and saw Ding Gu and Rushi talking. Seeing that it was Feiyun and the others, the two hurriedly invited them to sit down. Yang Feng went out to take care of the business, and Rushi went to prepare the feast.
