The little beggar Xin Zhiping took Tieton to bid farewell to Shi Tianhao, the owner of Jianlin Villa, and embarked on the road north to Yong'an with a large bag of gold and silver presented by Shi Tianhao, Tang Jiusheng and others have been walking for half a month, and it is obviously unrealistic to catch up with them in a short time. If it was just Xin Zhiping himself, he would be able to catch up in three or five days, but unfortunately with Tieton by his side, Xin Zhiping could only take him on horseback to hurry.

Xin Zhiping has been apprenticed to the old man Yunhe since he was a child, usually in the mountains, there is no money, and there is no place to spend money, and later he practiced on the rivers and lakes, and he also pretended to be a beggar, either living in a broken temple or living under a bridge, and even the curtain on the ground. People are used to suffering, Leng Buding has such a big bag of gold and silver, I really don't know how to spend it, a bag of white flowers of silver and a few gold bars, looking at the heat of the eyes, even to sleep to hug.

Tieton is different from Xin Zhiping, before he fled to Dashang, he was a prince when he returned to China, although he was not as rich as Dashang, but on weekdays in the palace, he saw a lot of marigold, silver cups and jade pots, and he didn't care. It's just that after escaping to the big merchants, the money on his body is getting smaller and smaller, but later Tieton sold a ruby that he brought with him, so there is still no shortage of silver for spare money. Especially when he was messing with Tang Jiusheng for a while, Tang Jiusheng was in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he didn't have to spend any money.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them have been riding horses on the road for five days, and at first, Xin Zhiping still wanted to live in a broken temple, under a bridge, or simply sleep on the streets. Tieton was all rejected, and Tieton smiled bitterly: "Master, how much money can you spend on staying in the hotel? Your old man is sleeping on the street with such a big bag of gold and silver, and if you let the gangsters rob it again, won't it be worth the loss?"

Xin Zhiping laughed out loud, with a look of disapproval, "Tie Dan, you kid is too worried! In the Great Shang Country, if you have the ability to snatch your master's burden, those are not ordinary people! But who can really reach that realm, who rarely comes out to rob me of this little silver? As for those robbing thieves, if we don't rob those thieves, they will have to burn high incense!"

But having said that, Xin Zhiping also understands in his heart that the iron egg is a prince anyway, with golden branches and jade leaves, he doesn't live in the store with money in this bag, and sleeping on the street in the middle of the night is really not like words. So every night Xin Zhiping asked Tieton to choose a place to live, and he paid for it. Xin Zhiping has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has suffered all kinds of hardships, but he is really not good at things such as staying in a hotel or entertaining.

So every day when you stay at night, Tieton is a high-end inn. The high-end one is too eye-catching, and the safety factor of the low-end one is low, so it is not up or down, and it is in the middle. It's just that Xin Zhiping is dressed as a beggar, and he has white eyes everywhere he goes, but Xin Zhiping has long been used to it, what kind of people have not seen after so many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes? What kind of people have not seen it? What are a few white eyes?

On this day, the master and apprentice rode horses on the road while looking at the scenery, pointing and pointing all the way, what is the little lady of this family with a pretty face, the woman with the sword on her back is in good shape, this temple looks weather, the river looks like a lot of fish, the master and apprentice are idle, and they discuss these things if they have nothing to do. Speaking of Xin Zhiping, he is in his forties, and he has never married

Daughter-in-law, so it is inevitable to see a beautiful woman and look twice, which is also human nature.

In the evening, the master and apprentice rode through Yuping County in Wuyuan County, Shannan Province, which is one of the four major counties in Shannan Province, and half of the taxes in Wuyuan County are in Yuping County. Yuping County is located in the east of Wuyuan County, two mountains and one water and seven fields, plus located in the traffic rush, the geographical location is important, and the folk customs are simple, the people are also industrious, so life is generally rich, of course, people have money, the nightlife is also rich, so a small Yuping county town has more than a dozen green buildings, it is also a wonder.

When Tie Dun looked at the city wall connected to the mountain in Yuping County, the sun had set in the west, and it was not far from the top of Mochou Mountain in the west of the city, and when the master and apprentice arrived at the south gate of Yuping City, the sunset had burned half of the sky, and more than a dozen soldiers at the city gate were checking the photos of the people who entered the city, registering the names of the people who came and went, Xin Zhiping's ears were sharp, and he heard someone say that in the past ten days, there were Jiangyang thieves in Yuping County, and they stole six or seven rich households.

Later, the rich families in the city jointly paid for a few martial arts masters but failed to stop the Jiangyang thief, who the thief wanted to steal or steal, I heard that the thief's light skills are excellent, come and go without a trace, the county master is also quite a headache for this, and sent the county government to investigate quickly, but can not find any clues and whereabouts about the thief, the county order Hong Shusheng has no choice but to report the matter to Wuyuan County.

Song Lianshan, who specializes in cracking major cases in Wuyuan County, personally came to Yuping County with dozens of capable catchers, and has been investigating for three days, but he still has no clue. Previously, the county magistrate strictly ordered the case to be solved within three days, but there was no clue to use to solve the case? In a blink of an eye, three three days have passed, but the catchers have not even found any clues, for this reason, the county's cattle catchers have been beaten three times, and their buttocks are swollen, but there is no way, and the catchers are also complaining.

The catchers gritted their teeth with hatred, and put all the strangers who were born in the face and those who were suspected of being in the county jail, and a total of more than 200 people were imprisoned, but the things of the rich families were not lost, indicating that these people were not the thieves, and the catchers were helpless in the end, so they could only let these people go, but these people went to the county government to make trouble, and they had to go to the county to make trouble, and the county master was also anxious, so he could only sit in the county government and scold these fast catchers for being incompetent, and playing boards one by one.

Song Lianshan from the county was also distressed, and just last night, the family of Zhao Yongnan, a wealthy man in the city, was also stolen by this nameless Jiangyang thief. You must know that many wealthy households in the county were stolen before, Zhao Yongnan's house has not been stolen before, and has been listed as a key protection object, the county and the county have invited three fourth-grade masters and a third-grade master to sit in the Zhao family, and more than 20 people were ambushed in Zhao's house.

The result is a big surprise that the Zhao family, who is a master and a fast catcher, was not only stolen, but also stolen the extremely precious dragon pattern jade and the famous painting "Yong'an Lady" by Huang Bonan, a well-known painter of the previous dynasty, these two treasures are worth 10,000 gold. Forget it, this thief still had the audacity to inscribe sixteen big characters on the wall of the living room of Zhao's house, "Twenty catches quickly, four masters, and the deadline is three days, it's not as good as a dog!"

openly ridiculed the county magistrate for solving the case within three days, and even more sarcastically ridiculed that these masters were not able to catch quickly

It is useful, Song Lianshan, the head catcher in the county, and the head catcher Niu Shoucai in the county are all angry, and the county master Hong Shusheng is even more angry, this thief who steals treasures is really too arrogant!

On the second hall of the county government, the buttocks of the head catcher Niu Shoucai were beaten again, and the county commander Hong Shusheng was furious, and scolded sharply: "Niu Shoucai, can you do it? Last night, you four masters, 20 catchers were guarding the Zhao family's mansion, but under your noses, the treasures can be stolen! Are you all rice buckets? Ah? Fortunately, this thief did not go to the county government to steal the official's big seal, otherwise the official would not even have to do official business, so he could only tie up and go to the official department to ask for guilt?"

Niu Shoucai kowtowed, "Lord Hong is angry, although the treasures of the Zhao family were stolen, but it is not all without gain, we still got the only clue in the Zhao family last night, this thief left a few lines of words on the wall of the living room of the Zhao family, the words are written crookedly, it is very unusual, it seems that this thief should not know how many words!"

Hong Shu was so angry that he almost vomited blood and fainted, and slapped the shocked wood heavily, "Niu Shoucai! You are simply a bastard! If he is well-read, why should he become a thief again? If he is rich and has five cars and is good at calligraphy, then won't he become an official? What kind of thief do you need to be? You rice buckets, you are really angry with the official! Do you want the official to personally go to the homes of the rich families in the city to catch thieves?"

Niu Zhutou kowtowed like pounding garlic, "My lord is angry, I am angry! The little one will lead people to search all the inns and hotels in the city again tonight, and all those who are the slightest suspect will be arrested, and it is better to catch three thousand by mistake than to let one slip through the net!"

Hong Shusheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "I said that Niu Shoucai, you are simply a pig! You arrested more than 200 suspects a few days ago, what happened to the result? That thief is still at large, but the drums of my county government are about to be beaten! All of them are complaints about the county's arrest and arrest people indiscriminately! You are running around like headless flies, and I have to wipe your ass with this official! Apologize to others and pay money! You, you really want to be angry with me!"

Hong Shusheng sat behind the public case in the second hall, and sighed, "Why am I so miserable, I finally survived to be a county magistrate in Shangxian County, but the chair under my ass was not yet hot, so I got such a shitty thing! I knew that I wouldn't come to Yuping County, even if I went to a poor Xia County casually, it was just that I didn't have any money to catch, and I wouldn't get mixed up with this kind of boss reprimanding and colleagues ridiculing me!"

Hong Xian Ling looked at the cow catcher who was kneeling down and didn't even dare to lift his head, and he was angry, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Get out! Get out of here! If there are still no clues tomorrow, all the arresters in the county will be hit with 20 boards! If the case is not solved in three days, one person will be added to the 20 boards! To tell you the truth, if this official is dismissed because of this, I promise that before leaving, I will beat all of you arresters into disabled people!"

Niu Catcher made a bitter face, even claimed that it was, kowtowed and retreated, limped out of the county office, and when he arrived at the gate of the county office, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Oh my God! Pity and pity us fast catchers! If we don't solve this case, we will have to let the county master beat us to death! This thief, why did you come to Yuping County to steal treasures? How much enmity do you have with us poor fishers?"
