Chapter 63: Caught by a thief and framed by a thief
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and their faces were embarrassed, and they smirked: "Young helper, these days, you have been making a flower chicken every day, we are called Huazi, and we can't eat it every day."
Luo Han's foot also said: "Yes...... Yes, eat them all...... I'm tired of vomiting, don't help the master, change ...... Change the cuisine, huh?"
Ling Yiyi crossed his hands on his hips, and said with thin eyebrows: "This young gang leader will make a flower chicken! What's the matter? It's only been a few days? I'm tired of eating? I once made a flower chicken for my father for more than a month, and he still boasted every day, but he didn't get tired of it! Why don't you hurry up and get the chicken!"
The two of them suddenly turned green, drooped their heads, and went out.
As soon as the two left, a little beggar ran into the yard panting, ran to Ling Yiyi, whispered a few words in his ear, Ling Yiyi's eyes suddenly brightened, laughed twice, and ran out with Su Yu in a hurry, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw that the Tongtian cannon and the Luohan's feet were still grinding and chirping and did not go far, and hurriedly shouted to them to come back, and ordered: "Don't go to get chickens! Gather dozens of your men, I'll take you to a big dinner!"
When the two of them heard that they were no longer calling the flower chicken, and that they were going to have a big meal again, they immediately became excited, and happily agreed, and turned around to find someone.
In a short time, dozens of beggars of both sexes, some holding bowls and sticks, some carrying bags and burdens, some carrying children and wives, large and small, hula la for a while, were already waiting outside the courtyard.
Su Yu came out with Ling Yiyi, looking at this battle, he didn't know why, and asked Ling Yiyi in a low voice, Ling Yiyi looked at him with a smile, covered his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I found no trace!
After that, with a wave of his hand, he led everyone to the direction of Huanghe Town again.
Everyone entered the town and walked to the easternmost end of Center Street, only to see a tall mansion in front of them that was different from the dilapidated houses in the surrounding area. From a distance, I heard the sound of horns and suona music, which was extremely loud and lively.
Everyone arrived at the gate, but saw that guests from all walks of life were bustling and coming and going. At the door, there was an old man in his seventies, wearing a blue-brown scarf, wearing a big red man's coat, with a fat head and big ears, and a few sparse wisps of white beard, floating on his chest, and was busy ushering in the send-off.
When the beggars arrived at the door, the old man just pretended not to see it, and made a "hum" in his nose, ready to go back to the house.
After that, he was busy bowing and beating thousands.
The old man was troubled, shook off the black hand of the arhat's feet, and pouted: "You also come to pay my birthday greetings? What a joke! The old man asked you, those who worship the birthday have gift money, I don't know if you have it? Hmph! A bunch of stinky people want to eat, but they just want to come to eat and drink, mix up a little money, and say it nicely!"
Tongtian Cannon was not annoyed when he heard this, but still smiled and said: "The old man doesn't know anything outside, and we have brought gifts too!
After that, he raised the wooden stick and broken bowl in his hand and said: "That's it, you see they are my guys for eating, I gave them to you, it is considered as gift money, this is precious, right?"
The old man said angrily: "You want a rice stick, begging for a rice bowl, what is the use of the old man asking for it?"
Luo Hanjiao also smiled and said, "What...... Didn't you...... Waiting...... You want...... When you eat, you can, you can use it!"
The old man was furious, turned his face to a few housekeepers at the door, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and drive away this group of stinky people who want food!"
A few of the housekeepers hurriedly picked up the sticks and were about to drive away the beggars.
I saw a little girl parting from the beggars and walking to the front. She wore a full head of pigtails, and her ragged clothes couldn't hide her slender figure, let alone her lily-like delicate face. She raised her thin eyebrows, her face was slightly red, she stared at a pair of big eyes that flashed in the autumn waves, glared angrily at a few family members, and said sonorously: "Our beggar gang leader heard that today is the birthday of the county commander's father, and specially sent me to lead everyone to come to congratulate, why did you get here, you are not good at reception, but you want to look down on people and drive us away! Is it difficult to look down on our beggar gang?"
Tongtian Cannon pointed at Ling Yiyi with his hand and said: "This is the daughter of our beggar gang leader, Ling Yiyi young gang leader, our beggar gang young gang leader personally came to celebrate his birthday, how glorious are you?
The prestige of the beggar gang and the spirit of the Ling gang leader are unknown to anyone in the rivers and lakes? After hearing this, several family members immediately did not dare to move. One of them, lying in the ear of the old man, muttered a few words, the old man's face immediately became smiling, hurriedly went down the steps, and said to Ling Yiyi: "Oh, I don't know if Ling Shao's gang leader personally arrived to congratulate the old man on his birthday, this is really another old man's glory, thank you so much!"
After that, he instructed his subordinates: "Hurry up and set up a banquet at the door to entertain all the subordinates of the Ling Shao Gang Master, and in addition, please invite the Ling Shao Gang Master and the old man into the back room, and the old man will personally accompany them, drink a few glasses of thin wine, and chat to express their gratitude!"
Ling Yiyi waved his hand and said: "We beggars are used to relying on the sky as the top and the ground as the bed! When we get inside, we can't stretch out our hands and feet, but we don't feel comfortable, so I'll just be outside with the brothers! In addition, I also brought a birthday gift to the old staff, I hope the old staff will not refuse!"
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him, and saw a beggar, carrying two strings of firecrackers in his hand, ran to the door, lit it, and there was a chaotic sound, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
After the firecrackers were finished, Ling Yiyi smiled at the old man: "This is the cannon that my father personally made for you, and it cost fifty taels of silver!
The old man could understand it, so he had to laugh awkwardly twice, and ordered a family member to fetch fifty taels of silver and hand it to Ling Yiyi.
Ling Yiyi didn't shirk, took the silver, and still smiled: "The old man really sees the outside! I don't want to accept our congratulatory gifts in vain, since this is the case, I have to accept it!"
When he had said this, he ignored them, turned and led the beggars by the door, gathered around the table, and began to eat and drink.
Su Yu saw Ling Yiyi sitting among the beggars, wearing bast shoes on one foot, revealing snow-white crystal toes, stepping on the bench, his sleeves rolled up high, holding the wine bowl in one hand, and stretching out the other hand to fight with the beggars, his face was flushed and full of spirit.
Su Yu didn't want to drink, just dealt with everyone casually, his eyes looking around. Suddenly, someone from behind him patted him on the shoulder, Su Yu turned around, and Ling Yiyi was standing behind him, motioning for him to get up. The two took advantage of the fact that everyone was drunk, quietly left, and turned straight to the back along the courtyard wall, before they each went to the room one after another. Looking up, I saw that the front hall was still full of staggered voices, endlessly, the maids serving wine and food, and the servants coming and going. In the depths of the compound, there is a single courtyard, where the shade of the trees covers the sun, and the stone path is secluded, which is extraordinarily quiet.
The two of them turned to the upper chamber of the courtyard, and Ling Yiyi crouched on it, no longer moving. Not long after, only to hear the corner door "squeak" a soft sound, a maid dressed as a person, walking softly, quietly in, seeing that there was no one around, only to turn around and close the corner door, a float to the door of the main room, Su Yu saw it appropriately, and said urgently: "Yes, there is no trace!"
Ling Yiyi hurriedly stretched out his jade hand to cover his mouth and shook his head at him.
Su Yu knew that there was a bit of a gaffe, so he nodded hurriedly and stopped talking. The two of them looked in, and Traceless had already opened the door and entered sideways. Su Yu asked in a low voice, "Yiyi, what should we do now?"
Ling Yiyi also laughed softly: "Don't worry, wait for her to come out, we will follow her out, and then take her, and have a black eat!"
Su Yu nodded in agreement.
The two waited for a long time, but they disappeared and came out without a trace, and they didn't feel confused. Ling Yiyi was a little out of breath, got up and said, "Let's go down and have a look, don't let her run away!"
After that, one turned over and went down lightly.
Su Yu also followed, opened the hidden main door, and the two entered the house. However, after looking back and forth, there was no trace, and the two were wondering, only to hear the noise outside. The person on the left, of medium stature, with a thin waist tied on his back, a dark blue lotus leaf scarf on his head, wearing a blue-edged and black-bottomed official robe, carrying a dragon tongue bow diagonally behind his back, holding a waist knife with a frosted fish skin sheath in his arms, his face was expressionless, and the cold air in his eyes penetrated the human bone marrow.
On the right outside the courtyard, it was the maid dressed up without a trace, pretending to look at the house in panic, pointing and pointing. Su Yu and Ling Yi were helpless, so they had to stride out, the old man looked at them outside, his white beard trembled, and said angrily: "You two don't know what to do, the old man doesn't think you are despicable, good wine and good food and hospitality, but you take the opportunity to steal, it is really unreasonable!
Ling Yiyi shouted: "Slow!" pointed at the Wuxian next to him with his hand and said angrily: "Our beggar gang is bright and bright, and we will never do this kind of thing of rat theft and dog theft, this woman's name is Wuxi, she is a female thief habitual thief, she pretended to be a maid in your house today, just to steal your property, we just saw her enter the backyard alone, in order to stop her, we followed in! I didn't expect her to escape! You still catch her first!"
After listening to it without a trace, he was deliberately frightened, and cried in a trembling voice at the old man: "I ...... I...... I'm not a thief, I don't call it without a trace, I'm just the maid in the house, just now I found out that the two of them are sneaky, so I hurriedly went to tell the master! I didn't even enter the house!
