Shangguan Yi was ready to go to bed after getting ready, but after washing and taking off his coat, he felt someone touch the courtyard......

Is this a thief?

Shangguan Yi thought a little helplessly, resting and concentrating, minimizing his sense of existence, perceiving what this person was here to do, and what his strength was. If this guy is very strong and is here to kill himself, then he will definitely slip away with some things that cannot be revealed, leaving Qingshan without fear of running out of firewood.

Fortunately, this person should be a thief, and he didn't come to steal Shangguanyi's things, for fear that he would be found out if he went to another house to steal things, so he fled here in a hurry to hide. Strength, it's not bad, if there is no hidden strength, he can handle the situation that Shangguan Yi perceives at will.

The thief carefully hid in a hidden corner of a certain room, holding his breath motionlessly, as if he was hiding from someone's pursuit, could it be ...... Shangguan Yi sat up with some hesitation, wanting to interrogate the thief.

"Knock Knock"

Someone is knocking on the door, very urgent, and look at the attitude, fair and slightly arrogant, eighty percent of the people are from the government, and the disturbing dreams of the general people at night are still a bit empty.

Shangguan Yi had no choice but to put on his coat and take care of his appearance and then go and open the door.

"How to grind, move quickly, open the door!" shouted impatiently to the officers and soldiers outside the door.

"It's coming, it's coming, don't worry. Shangguan Yi shouted, ran over and opened the door, and as expected, he saw a group of officers and soldiers holding torches, their faces were serious, and they didn't know what was going on.

"There has been a recent burglary in the city, and tonight someone has witnessed the general figure and direction of the thief's escape, and he is running towards you, I wonder if you have felt any movement in the yard? or if there are any clues. "The officers and soldiers went straight to the point, and they didn't drag the mud and water at all.

"I don't know, I've been sleeping in the house, there shouldn't be any movement, right? clues, I don't know, I won't tell you, I've just been here for a long time, and I don't even know about this case, so I don't have any clues. Shangguan Yi scratched his head and said to the officers and soldiers with a confused expression, his acting skills were quite good, and he couldn't tell that he was a person who had already guessed something.

"Huh?" The officers and soldiers narrowed their eyes and began to suspect that Shangguan Yi was coming, which is also a common problem or habit of people who do this business, and they do not give up suspicion of anyone who may be suspicious.

"Head, I remember this house, no one lived in it the day before yesterday, he should really have just come to Lidu. An officer and soldier whispered in his ear, implying that this person was not the person we were going to arrest.

"Oh. The leader of the officers and men bowed slightly, and then made a request: "Then can we search your yard? For your safety, and for the sake of arresting the thief earlier." ”

Shangguan Yi seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then replied: "If you search, don't be too rude, there are some things in my house that are easy to break, they are all goods from Chang'an City, and the price is very expensive." ”

"Don't worry, we'll go after making sure there's no one hiding inside. The leader of the officers and soldiers also gave face and agreed to Shangguan Yi's request.

Later, the officers and soldiers roughly searched Shangguan Yi's courtyard and room, although there was no thorough search of the cabinets, but it was basically certain that this mansion was indeed only lived by Shangguan Yi alone, and there was no second person.

"Excuse me, close the doors and windows when you sleep at night, pay attention to safety, and report to the official if you find something wrong. The leader of the officers and men said a few polite words and left.

Shangguan Yi nodded, watched them go to the next house, then closed the door and locked it, and went to find out the thief and ask about the situation. The thief can hide from these officers and soldiers, and secretly Chen Cang, but he can never hide from Shangguan Yi's ears and eyes.

In fact, as he expected, the thief was hiding around the carriage, gently playing psychological tactics with the searcher, standing in the blind spot of the searcher, the thief would not be discovered. In the end, the searchers succeeded in checking all the spots, but the thieves also managed to avoid the catastrophe.

But it was only the first year of junior high school, and Shangguan Yi's pursuit was only fifteen, and he couldn't run away at all.

"Hey, hey, uncle, I was also forced to enter your territory to hide, forgive me this time, there will be a thank you gift afterwards. "After that thief was found out by Shangguan Yi, he didn't dare to have any crooked ideas, let alone use his hands and feet. In fact, the thief had the idea of knocking Shangguan Yi out and running away, but after thinking about it carefully, this guy not only found out that he was also very arrogant to pull himself out, what does it mean?

"Hehe, thank you, I'm afraid I don't know where the stolen goods came from, I don't dare to accept them. Shangguan Yi sneered and looked at this little thief.

"Ahaha, then why are you willing to let me go?" the thief smiled awkwardly, a little panicked.

"What did you steal?" Shangguan Yi stared into his eyes and asked, from the officers and soldiers of that team, he could see that this matter might not be simple, but he didn't know how simple it was.

"No, it's nothing, uncle, don't ask, I'm also entrusted by others to be loyal, although I stole something, but I also ...... It's not easy, this matter involves a lot of things, don't ask, curiosity kills people. The thief was aggrieved, and the grievances were sincere, and he seemed to be thinking about Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi looked at his expression, his expression moved slightly, this guy is either acting realistically, or he is telling the truth.

"Let's go, I'll look into this matter myself, and I won't force you to say it, but I hope what you do won't get in the way of me, or I'll kill you next time." Don't mention today's events to anyone, or I'll kill you." Shangguan Yi surprised the thief and let him go directly, without asking for anything, and without forcing him to say any secrets.

But since Shangguan Yi let him go, he didn't have much to say, he nodded directly to show that he remembered, and then quietly left here, but he remembered the location of this mansion, and he would come here next time if he couldn't run away, anyway, the master didn't mind.

Shangguan Yi stood in the courtyard for a while and went back to his room to rest. This matter will definitely not end here, but I don't know what kind of wave this theft storm can set off, and whether it will affect me.

......

The next day, Shangguan Yi got up early, found a place to have breakfast, and then went to Mo's house with gifts and prayers.

I have to say that a big dog is a big dog, the Shangguan family is just once brilliant, and the heritage is not deep, the Mo family is different, the famous family with a long heritage, the base camp layout can be said to be impregnable, and the real city within the city is not magnificent.

It covers an area so wide that the street is around it, in front of the door is the wide road, the steps piled up with white jade, in front of the door are two statues of gods, it is the statue of the door god that is more longed for in this era, made by famous artists, not only lifelike, even the material is copper mixed with other metals, showing a golden appearance, and it is more able to withstand the sun, wind and rain. Further inside is the gate of the Mo family, the three-meter-high vermilion gate, the whole is made of wrought iron, quite troublesome and laborious, the thickness is as thick as the length of an adult man's palm, plus the subsequent fortification assistance, if you want to break it, even if you take siege tools, it will take some effort. There are also some reliefs on it, which look solemn and imposing, but Shangguan Yi can't understand it very well, and there is only an unclear image.

Looking up again is the plaque of the Mo family, two simple block letters: Mofu, vigorous and powerful, solemn atmosphere, but also the hand of a famous artist. The wall or something is also very magnificent, but there is nothing to say, the material is very strong and durable (durable) rock polished bricks, not bad.

There were two people standing in front of the door, and Shangguan Yi stepped forward to explain his intention and handed over the post.

The two of them heard that Shangguan Yi was coming to find Mo Qianliu, and they didn't dare to slack off, after all, Mo Qianliu was their future young master, whether this person was her friend or not, they had to inform her, if they were negligent, it would offend the young master, that is, the future head of the family, and there would be no way to get mixed up in the Mo family, right?

Shangguan Yi waited outside the door for a while, and saw the person who went to report hurriedly ran back and asked Shangguan Yi to follow him in, saying that the young lady was invited, and he was talking inside.

Shangguan Yi followed this guy for a long time, and it took about a quarter of an hour (not very fast) to arrive at the place where Mo Qianliu lived, not only understanding why this gatekeeper at the peak of the sky was running a little panting, but also deeply realized how big the Mo family was.

Far away, Shangguan Yi also walked patiently, did not propose to use light skills or run over, in the martial arts family, if the guests are not in a hurry, they cannot run around at home, let alone use internal force, this is a disrespectful performance, Shangguan Yi does not want to make it difficult for Mo Qianliu.

Soon, something that surprised Shangguan Yi even more came......

Along the way, Shangguan Yi saw a lot of other courtyards that covered an area not inferior to his own, although the building structures were different, but they must be about the same size.

It is also a default law that the size of the place where one lives represents the status of the owner to some extent.

But!

The courtyard where Mo Qianliu lives is quite small, it is the kind of ordinary house, the kind that ordinary people live in, and it should be a place for servants to live in the Mo family? As a young lady of the Mo family, a top genius, and a future young master, she actually lives in this kind of place?

"You're here, come in. And you, you've led the way for your hard work, go to the treasury to receive the reward. The courtyard door was open, and Mo Qianliu sat at the stone table next to the only tree in the small courtyard and read a book, seeing that Shangguan Yilai only raised his eyelids, as if he was just an inconsequential friend. The first half of the sentence is said to Shangguan Yi, and the second half of the sentence is a reward for the porter.

The porter bowed his head and left in a hurry.

Shangguan Yi didn't go in for the first time, he was a little chill down his spine now, and this was the reaction the moment he saw Mo Qianliu, and at the same time, his right eyelid jumped twice, as if something bad was going to happen.

"Why don't you come in?" Mo Qianliu put down the book and looked at Shangguan Yi who stopped there, a little puzzled.

Shangguan Yi shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, raised his feet and walked into the courtyard, closed the door according to Mo Qianliu's instructions, and asked, "How do you live in this kind of place, you like it?"

"Ahh Mo Qianliu joked, and then explained in a straight way: "I'm just alone, plus the snow dump, the maid can't live in such a big place, and this is the place where my mother died, I want to live here." ”

"So, I thought they were treating you badly, hahaha. Shangguan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite Mo Qianliu.

"They held me too late, and said many times that I would go to Yiran Pavilion to live, but I didn't want to, so I put it on hold. That's it, don't talk about this, how are you doing lately?" Mo Qianliu smiled, this person really likes to worry blindly.

"It's good, one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, and no one is bothering me, you can do whatever you want, what about Ye Xuetian?" Shangguan Yi nodded and said that he was doing well, but as he spoke, he seemed to smell something strange, if there was nothing, it was very light, but it was very weird, so he sniffed it in all directions, and then sniffed it in a stronger direction, and then ......

"She went to find Chang'an, there is something to do, come back in the afternoon. Hey, what are you smelling, you look like a nasty embryo, be careful that I hit you. Mo Qianliu raised her little pink fist and got out of her seat in intimidation, and smelled it everywhere, and finally it was almost on her Shangguan Yi.

Among the men, I am afraid that Shangguan Yi can have such treatment, and ordinary people who dare to do this are afraid that they will be kicked aside by Mo Qianliu a long time ago.

"Uh-uh, I'm sorry, the smell is a bit light, so I concentrated on smelling it and didn't notice.

You seem to have a strange scent on you, the smell of some incense or laundry stuff you've been using lately? I don't remember you having this smell on you before. Shangguan Yi scratched his head and first explained the reason in embarrassment, and then asked about the source of the fragrance.

"I don't know, I didn't expect you to be so keenly aware that Xue Tian also went to Chang'an to ask for countermeasures for this matter, and she didn't seem to be able to find the source of the problem, so there was no way to solve it. The smell seems to be coming from my body, which is something that has only started to appear in the last few months, and I can't find the exact cause of it. Mo Qianliu sighed, quite helpless, except that his body would exude this strange fragrance, there was nothing abnormal about the others.

"Well, then I'll think of a way too, although it may not be useful, but it's okay to try it. Shangguan Yi suddenly looked solemn.

If the one in front of him was not Mo Qianliu, he would think that it was the reason for the awakening of ordinary people's hidden physique, but if the assumption is not valid, it can only mean that Mo Qianliu's body has undergone some kind of imperceptible change, and no one can be sure whether this will be harmful to Mo Qianliu.

Just in case, Shangguan Yi decided to give metaphysics a try, what if it was useful?
