Chapter 164: Appreciated by the Lord of the Prefectural Order
Zhou Heihu chased after him.
"Don't run, boy!"
Several women ran out of the shop and chased in the direction of Zhou Heihu.
Lin Xirou was confused, what was going on?
"There are thieves in the blue sky and white days! Hmph, when I catch that kid, I can't spare him! Another woman cursed and sped away in the other direction.
Lin Xirou wanted to chase Zhou Heihu to ask about the situation, but the entrance of the alley was too narrow to squeeze into the donkey cart at all.
She parked the donkey cart here and chased it alone, and she was worried that someone would steal it.
Just as he was hesitating, the shopkeeper came to the door and shook his head, "Who is the thief?" Ah, there must be no thieves in my shop. ”
"Shopkeeper, what happened just now?" Lin Xirou pointed to the women who ran out.
"Hey, a couple of ladies said that someone stole their silver, it's the kid who ran away just now, no, they chased it."
Zhou Heihu stealing something? Impossible.
"Shopkeeper lady, I saw them chasing them from the entrance of the alley in front, I drove the donkey cart, how did I go around in front of them?"
"You go ahead, there's a wider alley ahead where you can cross the donkey cart." The shopkeeper pointed to the front and said.
Lin Xi thanked him and chased after the donkey cart.
After passing through the wide alley, the donkey cart turned into another avenue.
There are people living on both sides of the road, there are few shops, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street.
Lin Xirou clearly saw that there were several people running in front of her.
She chased the donkey cart forward.
At this moment, the sound of horses was heard behind her, and someone shouted, "Get out of the way!" Tolerance to arrest thieves, idle people, etc., all dodge! ”
Lin Xirou drove the donkey cart to the side and got out of the way.
A team of patrol officials rode their horses forward.
The woman who was shouting to report to the official just now rode a donkey out of nowhere and chased after her.
Lin Xirou whipped her donkey twice and hurriedly followed.
At the corner of a street ahead, everyone stopped.
Lin Xirou saw that there were many people around.
I vaguely heard Zhou Heihu scolding something.
Lin Xirou parked the donkey cart and squeezed over to look.
It turned out that Zhou Heihu was pressing a person to the ground and beating him violently.
The man was dressed in women's clothes, but he had a man's face and an Adam's apple, which was clearly a woman dressed as a man.
"Let you steal and ask you to steal, so that some people think I stole it, see if I don't kill you!"
The man screamed.
"Little brother is so good! We've been chasing this thief for a long time, but I didn't expect to be caught by you, thank you! A yacha patted Zhou Heihu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hey, don't kill you, the county commander still needs to interrogate." ”
Zhou Heihu stopped his fists at this time.
The man who pretended to be a woman was lifted up by the yacha and locked his hand with a chain.
A few women who were chasing Zhou Heihu just now came over and said, "Poor master, our money bag is still on the thief's body." ”
"What kind?"
"Embroidered with two lotus flowers, it contained four pieces of broken silver, fifty-eight copper coins, two sewing needles, and a roll of water-red sewing money."
The yacha opened the cloth bag that he had found from the thief, rummaged through it, and found a small purse.
"Is this it?"
"Yes, yes."
The yacha checked it and handed it to the woman.
Several women thanked the officials gratefully.
Yacha pointed at Zhou Heihu and said, "Don't thank us, you thank him, he is the thief he caught!" This thief is so cunning that he actually pretends to be a woman to steal! I stole something and changed my clothes and ran away, so we almost didn't recognize it! ”
Several women thanked Zhou Heihu together.
Zhou Heihu raised his chin, "Don't just wronged people next time, it's the best thank you to me." ”
Several women looked guilty, "Yes, we were also in a hurry, we just felt that a stranger squeezed us, and when we turned around, we only saw you standing there, so we ......, little brother, don't worry, we won't go next time." ”
The eldest woman among them wanted to invite Zhou Heihu to eat noodles, but Zhou Heihu refused.
"The thief was caught?"
"Caught, Liu Zhutou!"
A path escaped from the crowd, and Liu Zhutou walked over with two yacha.
He saw Lin Xirou first, and stepped forward in surprise to salute, "Lin Niangzi, are you coming to the county seat?" ”
Lin Xirou pointed at Zhou Heihu and said with a smile, "I brought him to the county seat to sell herbs, and he helped you catch the thief just now." ”
Liu Zhutou turned around and recognized Zhou Heihu.
He smiled and patted Zhou Heihu on the shoulder, "Black Tiger, you are really impressive!" ”
Several officials found that the little brother who helped them catch the thief was someone Liu Zhutou knew.
All of them patted their ass, and talked about the wonderful process of Zhou Heihu's catching thieves.
It turned out that Zhou Heihu caught the women's clothing boss thief by throwing a dart with one hand.
This thief has been successful repeatedly, and he has been chased by the officials for more than a year without catching up, but he is healthy and fast.
Zhou Heihu saw that he was about to run away again, so he grabbed a mallet from the merchant and the peddler, and aimed at the thief's head and smashed it hard.
The thief's head hurt, slowed down, and was caught by Zhou Heihu, and the dirt on his body was searched.
In a large cloth bag, there were more than a dozen purse money bags of different colors.
Zhou Heihu smiled honestly, "It's just a gesture." ”
Because he was arresting the thieves that the yamen focused on, Liu Zhutou must ask Zhou Heihu to meet the county order.
No, Lin Xirou had to follow.
Return to the prefectural prefectural office again.
Mu Chengrui, who has been playing with the magnifying glass for a while, is showing off the treasure he got to the whole house.
No one had ever seen a magnifying glass, and they looked at it like a magic mirror.
When the prefectural magistrate learned about it, he asked for it and studied his seal carving.
also praised the magnifying glass for being easy to use, praised Mu Chengrui, and asked him to buy another one, saying that he would keep this one.
This stumped Mu Chengrui.
He is also begging for this magnifying glass.
Mu Chengrui had no choice but to tell the truth.
Only then did the county order learn that the magnifying glass was given by Lin Xirou.
But he is a dignified county order, and he is a junior, so he is embarrassed to ask Lin Xirou for it.
When he was disappointed, Liu Zhutou came back, saying that he had caught the male thief in women's clothes who was stealing everywhere in the county, and also said that it was Zhou Heihu, the entourage of Lin Niangzi, who caught the thief.
Moreover, Lin Niangzi also came to the county seat, and was waiting for the county order in the front hall of the county yamen.
The county magistrate was overjoyed, "Invite them to the study!" ”
When he arrived at the study, the county commander first praised Zhou Heihu's skills, and then praised Lin Xirou for his ability to train his entourage.
Lin Xirou was praised inexplicably, she only taught Zhou Heihu to recognize herbs, but she didn't teach him skills, that was Li Shen's credit.
"Adults don't know, it's Mu Sheng who taught Zhou Heihu his skills, not me."
"Ah, it turned out to be an apprentice taught by Uncle Seven, no wonder he has good skills." The county magistrate was stunned, and said to Lin Xirou, "Aunt Seven, I have a reluctant request......
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Heihu.
Looking at the eyes of the county order, there is approval.
Lin Xirou smiled and said, "My lord, it's okay to say it." ”
"I see that the black tiger boy is athletic, and I want to keep him in the county yamen to do things, I wonder if Aunt Seven is willing to cut her love?" Prefectural Order.
Zhou Heihu's eyes widened in surprise.
Lin Xirou said with a smile, "He was originally a neighbor near our house, an orphan, Mu Sheng saw that he was smart and had a poor background, so he took care of him by his side, not our servant, the adult only needs to ask him personally, you don't have to ask me." She looked at Zhou Heihu, "Heihu, are you willing to stay?" ”
"I do." Zhou Heihu heard Lin Xirou say this, and immediately saluted the county order.
