Chapter 46: Ransom
Xu Qi'an sat on the big chair, held the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it." ”
Miss Rong Rong pursed her red lips and said, "Since Lord Xu has heard of my name, he must be no stranger to the Thousand-Faced Female Snitch." ”
"I've heard of it. Xu Qi'an touched his chin and looked at her: "You mean, it was actually the thousand-faced female snitch who stole my baby?"
"Min Yingong, help me find the information about the female snitch. ”
Min Shan turned to tell the clerk to look for it, and after a tea time, the clerk came over with a booklet, opened the corresponding page, and handed it to Xu Qi'an.
There is not much information about the Thousand-Faced Female Snitch, only that the other party is a very powerful thief, who is alone, does not know the details of the master and the details, and has committed countless large and small cases, and has never been caught.
This record provides Xu Qi'an with two pieces of information: first, the other party is not an ordinary thief, and he has never missed a major crime.
Second, the female snitch's domain is limited to stealing, and there is not much destructive power, so there are only a few records of the watchman Yamen and they don't pay attention to it.
"He's a very professional snitch. Xu Qi'an closed the booklet, returned it to the clerk, and asked the Rongrong girl who was tied up with five flowers:
"Why did the Thousand-Faced Snitch disguise herself like you?"
Miss Rong Rong sneered: "Who knows, Xu is jealous of this girl's long-sleeved dancing." ”
........ It seems to have been torn apart, so it was retaliated against. Xu Qi'an grabbed the saber and hung it back on his waist, and said: "Min Yinluo, the person will be handed over to you, before I agree, I can't release the person, it's useless for anyone to come." ”
After the big one, Xu Qi'an hurriedly left the yamen, rode his beloved little mare, and ran to the outer city.
Only to find the Golden Lotus Daoist to come forward in person, fortunately, he knew the residence of the Golden Lotus Daoist, although he had never been there.
The sun is gradually moving westward, and there will be curfew in another hour, and he must find the female thief before the curfew and retrieve the fragment of the book from the ground, otherwise he can only go back to the yamen and ask Wei Yuan to sign a search warrant.
The Golden Lotus Daoist dominates the North City, a small courtyard facing the river, characterized by this small scarecrow standing on the roof of the main house.
Xu Qi'an arrived here and knocked on the courtyard door, but it was quiet inside, and no one answered.
"Dao Chang is out of the house?"
Xu Qi'an climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, pushed open the door of the main house, the room was clean and tidy, and on the bed, the head of the Golden Lotus Road was lying peacefully, as if he had died.
Xu Qi'an shouted a few times "Dao Chief", and when he saw that he was asleep and didn't wake up, he knew that this old man had gotten on the cat and gone out for a walk.
Why did you suddenly develop this quirk....... What should I do, the Taoist chief doesn't know when he will come back........ Xu Qi'an frowned and thought for a moment, and paid attention.
He walked to the edge of the bed, raised his hand, opened his bow from side to side, and slapped the long fan.
As a mature Jianghu senior, the Golden Lotus Daoist should know how to protect his physical body, he must have left his back hand, as long as his physical body is harmed, he can immediately perceive it, and even .......
"Bang Bang!"
All that was left in the room was slapping.
After a long time, Xu Qi'an heard the unadulterated voice of the Golden Lotus Daoist coming from the door: "What are you doing." ”
The slapping stopped immediately, Xu Qi'an came back to his senses in surprise, looked at the door, and said, "Dao Chief, you're back." ”
An orange cat stood at the threshold, looking at him faintly.
Xu Qi'an saw that Daoist Jin Lian didn't speak, and hurriedly explained: "I have something urgent to find you, but you are not in the courtyard, I guess you must have left a back hand on your body, so you can only make this decision." ”
The orange cat still has an emotional voice: "Then did you guess that the moment you entered the yard, I already felt it." ”
Even the Golden Lotus Daoist sensed that a guest was coming when I was admitted to the hospital........ Xu Qi'an said blankly: "I don't know." ”
The orange cat nodded, walked into the room with an elegant cat, jumped on the bed, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Fragments of my book from the ground have been stolen. ”
At that moment, he told Daoist Jin Lian how he encountered a thousand-faced female thief and how he mistakenly caught Miss Rongrong.
"After the fragments of the book from the ground are recognized, outsiders cannot see the book, nor can they take out the contents of the book. You can rest assured. "The orange cat is very calm.
"And when I got it from you, it was ownerless?"
"It was erased by the head of the earth sect. ”
Xu Qi'an nodded, he already knew about these things, "Without further ado, let's go and recover the fragments of the Book from the Ground." ”
"Come with me. ”
The orange cat jumped out of bed and ran out of the house, and after Xu Qi'an chased it out, he found it squatting on the back of the horse, tilting its head sideways, waiting for him quietly.
Why doesn't the Taoist go out in the flesh? Even though it's a fetish to get on the cat, now it's time to do business........ Could it be that for him, there is no difference between the physical dispatch and the primordial spirit dispatch?
With doubts, Xu Qi'an untied the reins of the horse, touched the face of the little mare, and said in his heart that he was wronged to let other men ride once.
Da Da Da ......
The little mare galloped through the wide streets, and the pedestrians consciously retreated, and there was no one who did not have a long eye in the middle of the road.
This is the era when one person gave up the car.
"Turn left!"
The orange cat said suddenly.
Xu Qi'an turned the horse's head, controlled the little mare to complete the beautiful elegance, and turned to the left.
Under the command of Daoist Jinlian, Xu Qi'an transferred from Beicheng to Dongcheng, and came to an inn outside, Daoist Jinlian said: "The fragment of the Book of the Ground is inside. ”
As he spoke, Xu Qi'an felt a feeling like blood connection, mysterious and mysterious, and clearly sensed the location of the fragments of the Book of the Ground.
Fragments of the Book from the Ground and the host are in close proximity and can be sympathetic.
..........
In a room in an inn.
Wearing heavy makeup, a pair of big almond eyes, and a woman with soft eyes sat at the table, holding her cheeks with one hand and playing with a jade mirror with the other.
"Why can't I use this baby?"
The fake Rong Rong girl looked at the fragment of the book from the ground, it looked ordinary at first glance, but as the only heir to the thief's door, she had a keen intuition about treasures.
Searching for treasures is a natural skill of a disciple who steals the door.
There are many strange patterns on the mirror, chests, silver tickets, crossbows, silver ingots........ With years of experience in "treasure hunting", she quickly had a guess:
This is a magic weapon to recognize the Lord by dripping blood, and it has its own storage function.
The "Rongrong" girl's heart immediately became hot, she didn't expect to catch so many big fish in one net, not only got a treasure, but also a huge fortune.
"How do I get the contents out......."
The fake Rong Rong held the fragment of the book from the ground and knocked on the table.
She had never seen a magic weapon that needed to be recognized by blood, and she was helpless about it. Of course, there is one principle that remains the same, but as long as the storage artifact is destroyed, the stored items will automatically fall off.
But this is a magic weapon that drips blood to recognize the Lord, the value is incalculable, and it must not be done to kill chickens and take eggs.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Rongrong" The girl frowned and asked, she didn't call the shopkeeper to ask for hot water, and the room money was still abundant.
"Check the water mounting. A man's voice came from outside.
Hearing this voice, the "Rongrong" girl's face changed greatly, she didn't think about it, grabbed the jade mirror and put it in her pocket, got up and stride, and rushed to the window.
"Bang!"
She opened the window and was about to flee from it, but she saw an orange cat squatting by the window, looking at her with amber pupils.
The "Rong Rong" girl's brain wanted to die and was embedded in the steel nails, tearing her soul apart, she covered her head and sat down on the ground with a muffled grunt.
The door was pushed open, and Xu Qi'an, who pressed the knife with one hand, walked into the room with the steps of six relatives who did not recognize him.
The orange cat also jumped into the house from the window.
"Sure enough, it's you!"
Xu Qi'an took out a black gold long knife, put it on the neck of the "Rongrong" girl, and hummed: "Thousand-faced female thief." ”
"What are you talking about, my lord?"
The "Rongrong" girl's smart eyes turned, as if she was thinking about countermeasures.
Xu Qi'an reached out and grabbed it gently, and the fragments of the book flew out of the arms of the "Rongrong" girl and automatically fell into his hands.
The "Rongrong" girl said "ah" and stretched out her hand to keep it, but her neck hurt, and she gave up her plan depressedly.
This man is strong, and ten of himself are not enough to be slashed by others.
After checking the fragments of the book from the ground and confirming that the items inside were not missing, Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart fell.
The gold, silver and silver tickets in the mirror are all his belongings, and he has been in this world for half a year, and he has been in the wind and rain for half a year, and he finally saved his belongings.
It's all my wife.
He took the fragment of the book from the ground back into his arms, then withdrew the knife, pulled a chair and sat down, looked at the discouraged female snitch with a smile, and said:
"Hey, don't you quibble? ”
"What is there to quibble about? The snitch rolled her eyes and muttered:
"The old lady has been crisscrossing Kyushu for many years, but I didn't expect to be planted in the capital, which is worthy of being the best city in the world, and I don't ...... wronged"
The tone and demeanor of the speech are like the old rivers and lakes at first glance, hob meat. It is completely different from the green tea posture shown in the restaurant before.
It's a disguise in the restaurant, and now it's her original temper.
Xu Qi'an was like a cat catching a mouse, and jokingly said: "Qubble, maybe the uncle will let you go as soon as his heart softens." ”
The female snitch said that when she changed her face, she changed her face, showing a sad look, and she wanted to cry:
"The little woman is also a hard-working person, she was sold to the Qinglou by her father at the age of three, she was forced to pick up customers at the age of ten, and at the age of fifteen, she was favored by the master as a closed disciple, and she thought that the hard days had finally come to an end, but who knew that the master was also a beast-hearted, on a dark and windy night, he, he ........"
Xu is acting skills are too realistic, and Xu Qian can't judge the truth for a while.
"Okay, okay, I'm very sympathetic to your plight, but the law is not merciful, this official has a few questions for you, and I answer honestly. ”
Xu Qi'an said: "How did you steal my treasure without knowing it." ”
"This is the little woman's housekeeping skills, under the four grades, I can steal as much as I want. ”
"How is that disguised?" Xu Qi'an leaned over, pinched her chin, looked carefully, and said:
"It's not a human skin mask, but this face is certainly not yours. ”
"This is our unique secret technique of stealing the door, called the art of concealing the sky and crossing the sea, which is a real change in appearance, and it is comparable to the extraordinary disguise technique. ”
"Wait!"
The Golden Lotus Dao Leader suddenly interrupted, and his amber pupils stared at the female snitch: "What did you just say, what sect are you?"
The female snitch, who suddenly felt the fierce murder, said weakly: "Steal the door......."
Daoist Jin Lian looked at Xu Qi'an and said coldly: "This female snitch, just cut it." ”
This is the worst time that the Daomen has been hacked....... Xu Qi'an held back the corners of his mouth and said solemnly: "Do you know who this person is in front of you?"
The Snitch shook her head.
"The big guy of the Daomen Earth Sect. ”
"In the future, my theft will be changed to the thief's door. "The female snitch has a strong desire to survive.
Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Daoist Jin Lian no longer spoke, he continued the topic: "Hand over the cheats." ”
The female snitch had a pitiful expression: "This is Tongzigong, practiced since childhood, taught by the master by hand, there is no cheat." I started practicing at the age of four, and it took me more than ten years to become a teacher. ”
"Didn't you just say that you entered the Qinglou at the age of three, picked up customers at the age of ten, and became the master's exclusive RBQ at the age of fifteen. ”
“....... Did you mishear?"
Xu Qian said that this kind of old fritter in the rivers and lakes can't be believed if it's really a punctuation mark.
"The cheats of the disguise are handed over. ”
The female snitch nodded resignedly: "The cheats are in the closet, I'll go get them." ”
Seeing Xu Qi'an's head, she got up and walked to the wardrobe, took out a baggage, and said, "The cheats are inside." ”
Xu Qi'an took the burden, and the moment he opened it, a green mist gushed out, and he and the Golden Lotus Dao Elder took a few breaths and suddenly passed out.
The female snitch, who had already held her breath in advance, took out a porcelain bottle from her baggage, took the antidote inside, and then breathed calmly, humming and chirping:
"Fight with your aunt and grandmother, you are still far away. ”
As he spoke, he kicked Xu Qi'an a few times angrily, reached into his arms, groped a few times, and the jade mirror was lost.
Suddenly, she felt something hard against her hips, and Xu Qi'an's voice came from behind her: "Sure enough, let's kill it." ”
The "Rongrong" girl bowed her head in shock and found that the silver gong that she was lying on before was gone.
She didn't dare to move, knowing that there was a knife against her hips.
"I reminded you, this is the boss of the Daomen Earth Sect, and you don't even know when you were in the illusion. Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "The ass is quite warped." ”
The female snitch completely resigned herself to her fate.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Ge Xiaojing. ”
...........
Xu Qi'an sealed the female snitch Ge Xiaojing's acupoint, tied up the flowers, threw them on horseback, and said goodbye to the Golden Lotus Daoist.
The orange cat bowed slightly, and instructed, "Be careful all the way." ”
Leave with graceful steps.
Xu Qi'an untied the reins of the horse and was about to ride his beloved little mare, but the little mare suddenly went crazy, turned the horse's head, turned around at a forty-five degree angle, and kicked Xu Qi'an out with a beautiful back kick.
Then there was a long hiss, and he walked away.
“???”
Xu Qi'an chased after him in disgrace, subdued it before it collided with pedestrians, and calmed it for a long time before the little mare regained its docility.
"Little mare, don't you love me anymore, after you were ridden by that bad old man of Jin Lian, do you like the new and hate the old? ”
Xu Qi'an sat on horseback, and said in his heart I won't play tricks anymore, Jiang is still old and spicy.
.......
Back at the yamen of the watchman, Xu Qi'an put the female snitch in the prison and warned the jailer not to do anything superfluous, this person is still useful.
By this time, the curfew had already begun for two quarters of an hour, and it was already dark. But for one silver gong, the curfew is a non-existent thing.
"Ecstasy Hand Rong Rong can be released, but now there is curfew, I can't get out of the inner city, so I'll deal with her tomorrow......"
The next day, Xu Qi'an rode to the Yamen of the watchman, and there were already officials waiting at the door, and when he saw him coming, he trotted up to meet him, saying:
"Lord Xu, there are a group of people from the rivers and lakes who came to the yamen to redeem people, it is the girl you brought back yesterday, and the person is at Min Yinluo. ”
If I'm a womanizer who bullies men and women, my child's bedroom will be filled up several times........ Xu Qi'an snorted:
"I see. ”
.............
PS: Hahaha, Rong Rong's name is out of the BUG, it doesn't match the previous text, I changed the previous text, the tragedy is, no one seems to see it.
I suddenly had a feeling that I was going to be in a nest, hahahaha.
