After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Zhou Qing was directly pulled into the Chunfeng Building by the woman when she was puzzled.

"Osmanthus, my wife, I'm a guest, you come to help me welcome me tonight." ”

"Yo, what a handsome little Langjun, Sister Peach, you are blessed tonight. ”

After the middle-aged woman named Taohong pulled Zhou Qing into the building, she shouted at a woman, and after a brief conversation between the two, she directly led Zhou Qing into a room.

"Xiao Langjun sit down, my sister will prepare some wine and food for you. After Taohong pulled Zhou Qing to sit down in the room, she got up and was about to go outside.

"Sister Peach, slow down. Zhou Qing hurriedly stood up and stopped the woman, and said softly, "Thank you, sister, for your love, I just felt a little bored when I came in with you, and I wanted to talk to you, not to do things between men and women." ”

"Yes!" replied in a somewhat lonely tone, and after a moment's pause, she got up and walked to the door of the room, closed the door, and then returned to the table and sat down again.

"Since Xiao Langjun is upset, then my sister will talk to you and give you relief. ”

"That's great!"

Taohong's words hit Zhou Qing's heart, he nodded, sat down at the table opposite the woman, and after chatting a few words, he inquired about what you didn't know.

chatted until the second half of the night, and Zhou Qing left Chunfeng Building under the eyes of Peach.

"Fascinating little Ailang, next time you come, I will definitely eat you, old lady. ”

Looking at Zhou Qing's back as he disappeared into the night street, he muttered to himself in the peach red mouth that was nestled next to the gate of Chunfeng Tower.

After walking out of the Chunfeng Tower, Zhou Qing had a deeper understanding of the thief, because he learned a lot of information about the thief from Taohong's mouth.

If you want to say that there are many well-informed people in a city, there must be a lot of them, but they must include the shopkeeper in the inn and the unmarried woman in the Chu Pavilion Qinglou.

From the mouths of Chunfeng Lou and the shopkeeper, Zhou Qing determined a piece of information about Jun Bu, that is, every time he stole the rich gentry's money, he would go to the north of the city.

Because in the north of the city, there is a bitter alley, as the name suggests, the whole alley is inhabited by poor people, and you don't know that some of the stolen money will be distributed to the people in that alley.

With this clue, Zhou Qing decided to go to Bitter Man Alley and wait for the famous thief in the city to appear, and then capture it and retrieve his treasure bag.

When he came to the north of the city, Zhou Qing easily found the bitter alley, because the houses in this alley were all very dilapidated, and they could be identified at a glance compared with the houses in other alleys.

At the mouth of the alley of Bitter Man Alley, there is an old tree with lush leaves, Zhou Qing walked back and forth in the dark alley, climbed the old tree directly, sat on the branch and closed his eyes to recuperate.

He didn't know when you would commit the theft, so he could only wait here for the thief to appear automatically in the most stupid way.

After waiting for a little midnight, the sky was bright, Zhou Qing didn't see anyone enter the bitter alley, jumped off the old tree with a disappointed face, and returned to the inn.

In this way, another three days have passed, and Zhou Qing is already close to running out of ammunition and food, and he only has one day of rent money left.

During these three days, he would go to the old tree in Bitter Man Alley every night to wait, but after waiting, the thief did not show up.

At noon that day, when Zhou Qing was passing through a street, he saw an old man who was setting up a stall in the street being knocked to the ground, and his stall was also smashed to pieces.

The smashers were several young men, one of whom looked more flamboyant than the others, and he was clearly the leader of the group.

"Old thing, you are dragging this security fee, smashing your stall today is just to give you a wake-up call, if you don't hand over the money and silver of the security fee within three days, you won't want to put this stall in the future." ”

After the leading man dropped this sentence, he led the other men to leave triumphantly.

A very strange smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face, who was standing not far away watching this scene, and then he followed behind the men who smashed the stall with his hands behind his back.

Following all the way, Zhou Qing finally watched several men walk into a large mansion.

After taking a look at the house, Zhou Qing saw a wooden plaque engraved with 'Ouyang Mansion' above the closed courtyard door.

Standing at the gate of Ouyang Mansion for a while, Zhou Qing turned around and prepared to leave the alley, and after walking a short distance, he was greeted by an eight-person person who walked towards him.

"I don't have long eyes, scumbag, I don't want to dodge when I see Master Ouyang's pride. ”

A man in front of the arrogant man in a soldier's uniform yelled at Zhou Qing.

Hearing the sudden roar, Zhou Qing was not angry, he retreated to the side of the road with interest, and after the proud man passed by him, he did not leave, but looked at the proud man.

The man in the errand costume said about Master Ouyang just now was exactly the same as the mansion that the men who smashed the stall entered just now, so Zhou Qing wanted to see if this master would also enter that mansion.

Sure enough, the arrogant man stopped when he walked to the gate of Ouyang Mansion, and a man walked out of the arrogant house and entered Ouyang Mansion directly.

"It's not that people don't enter the door all the way, and they rush at the scum just now, and I should make you pay some price. ”

Standing far away on the side of the street outside Ouyang's Mansion with his hands behind his back, Zhou Qing secretly made the next decision in his heart, and then left the alley.

Ouyang Mansion is located in the east of Wei'an County, outside the city in the east, there is a big river twenty or thirty zhang wide, and the embankment on the opposite side of the river is full of burial mounds.

When the sun set, Zhou Qing, dressed in red, appeared on the stone bridge across the river outside Dongcheng.

He stood on the bridge deck, looking at the red sun that was about to set.

At this time, half of the sun was already buried in the river, and the scene looked like a beautiful picture.

Quietly watching the red sun set in the west, until the sun was completely submerged in the river, and after the sky darkened, Zhou Qing moved from the bridge and walked to the mass grave buried on the river embankment on the other side of the river.

After walking along the grave pile on the river embankment for a while, Zhou Qing didn't notice anything unusual, and immediately moved forward and continued to walk.

Eventually, under an old pine tree by the river embankment, he saw a small earthen house that was half a foot tall and looked extremely dilapidated, and in the earthen house, there was an urn of urns that had not been buried in the soil.

Zhou Qing stood in front of the small earthen house and took a look, picked up a small piece of gravel directly from the ground, and threw it into the earthen house.

"Bell~"

Small stones smashed against the earthen pot inside the earthen house, making a low crashing sound.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Qing found that there was nothing unusual in the earthen house, so he immediately picked up two small stones and gently threw them into the earthen house.

"Bell~Bell~"

This time, two small stones were thrown out in Zhou Qing's hand, and something strange appeared in the earthen house.

The jar of ashes shook violently when the small stone fell to the ground, and then, a blue light came out of the earthen pot and landed in front of the earthen house and turned into an old woman in a black shirt.
