Chapter 18: Catching the Thief
In addition to a large general manager in the Chen family compound, there are also six rooms below. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAmong them, the guest room is responsible for sending to usher, the account room is responsible for the exchange of money, the treasury is responsible for the storage of utensils, the kitchen is responsible for the livestock diet, the stable is responsible for the entry and exit of the carriages and horses, and the concierge is responsible for the day and night patrol.
As soon as they heard that there were thieves in the house, the three guards at each gate took action. Then the house was alarmed, and the thief was caught. The little guys carried Chen Feng all the way into the main courtyard, and one of the little guys rolled his eyes and suggested: "Brother Leopard, why don't you carry this thief around the main courtyard a few times, so that the old men and ladies can know that we have made the first contribution!"
Chen Feng was furious when he heard this, and he couldn't stop whining, but he struggled not to delay. The guards thought so, carried Chen Feng along the East Lane to the backyard, and then went back to the front door from the West Lane.
When everyone saw the thieves tied up with flowers, they all gritted their teeth: "Shameless beast, is it easy for us to make some money, this person who killed a thousand knives actually came to steal!"
When passing by the kitchen, a group of angry vegetable washing aunts even beckoned the vegetable leaves and melon peels at hand, and even took a few beatings with the small guys. Seeing the thieves being carried into the "gatehouse", some good guys couldn't help but follow to watch.
There is a large painting table in the courtyard, and a map is spread out on the table, and a middle-aged man in a green shirt with an elegant appearance holds the art of war in one hand and points to the map with a long whip in the other hand and says: "There are six thieves in total, and they should still be in the east courtyard." You first guard each door, you lead a team of people to inspect the east and west, and you lead a team of people to inspect the north and south...... is the second-class steward of the Chen Mansion, responsible for the second pass of the "gatehouse".
"Second brother, catch a live one!" "Brother Leopard" pushed the door into the courtyard, and the guards left the captive still on the ground.
Chen Feng was shocked, his qi and blood were suddenly unblocked, and he struggled violently.
"Do you still dare to resist?" several people hurriedly held him down, and the two vermilion lacquer sticks beckoned, and there was a muffled sound of "poof, puff, puff".
Guan Er frowned, looking at Chen Feng full of doubts: "Why does this kid look so familiar?"
"Brother Leopard" made a look, took him aside, searched out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Look, not only did I catch someone, but I also got dirty!"
Guan Er took the jade pendant, and his face changed greatly. "Brother Leopard" was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is this jade fake? This jade was really found from him, no one dares to deceive the second brother......
Guan Er was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know how to read......
"Brother Leopard" frowned, and said hurriedly: "When I came, I didn't say that I wanted to read and write! If I knew how to read, I wouldn't have come to do this, ......do you look down on me?"
Guan Er snorted coldly, rushed to Chen Feng's side with an arrow, and untied the rope. Chen Feng immediately shouted, "I'm going to kill you...... Kill you...... Kill ......"
"Presumptuous!" "Brother Leopard" was furious, and another whip passed.
"You are presumptuous!" Guan Eryi grabbed him by the collar, and "papapa" was a dozen big mouths, and shouted: "Blind your dog eyes, see clearly, this is Young Master Feng." ”
"Brother Leopard" was beaten so that the stars in front of him were all over the place, and he cried: "Where is he like Young Master Feng......"
Chen Feng got up and grabbed Guan Er's collar, and the same big mouth slapped him in the face and roared: "Dog minion, this is the person you recruited, go and catch Chen Yue's brute for me, get out!" snatched the whip again, and slammed it at everyone.
Where did the people dare to hide, they just turned sideways. Guan Er's left cheek was beaten and twitched, and his right cheek turned red, but he could only bend down and say in a deep voice: "Young Master Feng is angry, it's really that the subordinates have just arrived, and they don't know your dignity......"
"I heard that you caught that little thief, it is really a thousand days to raise soldiers, and each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver!" With a hearty laugh, the second master Chen Lian strode into the courtyard.
The third master, Chen Shuo, followed behind, and saw a monster being presumptuous, frowning and shouting: "Bold thief, dare to be presumptuous when he dies, and he won't take it yet!"
Chen Feng cried with joy: "Dad, avenge me......" said and fell soft, kneeling on the ground.
Chen Lian recognized that it was his son, his face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Say, who beat this!"
"It's them!" Chen Feng pointed to the courtyards, gritted his teeth and roared: "And Chen Yue, that brute, I'm going to kill him......"
"It's wronged!" "Brother Leopard" cried, knelt on the ground and worshipped: "The little ones heard that there was a thief, and when they arrived, Young Master Feng was lying on the ground with his face covered, and several old men stood next to him and none of them identified him, and the little ones listened to Young Master Yue's words and tied people up, how do you know that it was Young Master Feng......"
"Oh no, something happened...... " Before he finished speaking, an old man in a brown robe trotted over, wiped his sweat and hurriedly reported: "Second master, the five hundred taels of silver on the account counter have been stolen." I heard that the thieves caught ......"
"Huh?" Chen Lian frowned, and after the old man saw the situation clearly, he found that it was not the same as he imagined, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck, not daring to say any more......
Chen Lian was about to have a seizure, when another old man shouted in a trembling voice outside the door: "Second master, it's not good, the old lady's favorite pair of crystal vases are gone." I heard that a thief was caught, and there was no ...... to get the stolen goods," an old man in a gray robe with gray hair squeezed in on crutches as he spoke.
Seeing the sneering eyes of the account manager on the side, he said in his heart: "Each other, you are not smarter than me...... Seeing the situation in front of him, he suddenly felt that it was not good, and he didn't dare to say it.
Chen Lie smiled angrily: "Okay, good, it seems that there are really thieves in the house......"
Before the words fell, another rough and dumb male voice hurriedly reported: "Second master, it's not good! Just now, two thieves broke into the stable, one carrying a bag of silver, and the other holding two crystal vases, each snatching a sweaty horse and running away!" A fat man in black squeezed into the crowd in response, glanced at the second elder, and pointed at Chen Feng and was about to scold, but met Chen Lie's cold eyes, and couldn't help shrinking his neck.
Everyone reacted, Guan Er stared at the three of them angrily and gritted his teeth, cursing in his heart: "Bastard, if there is a thief in the house, you will throw things there, and you want Lao Tzu to carry the black cauldron, is it ......?"
The third master, Chen Shuo, said with a smile: "One pretends to be a thief, three are thieves, what a double reed." Second brother, junior brother admires!" After speaking, he hugged his fists and laughed.
Everyone suddenly realized, and they all rolled their eyes secretly. Second Master Chen Lian's face turned pale with anger, slapped his palm on the table, and roared: "You, you, and you! Close the account today, if the silver money is missing a tael, the foal is lost, and the thing is missing, I will copy your lair, and give me a roll!" The table case "clicked" and turned into sawdust and shattered.
The three of them were so frightened that they trembled for a while, and they shouted "wronged" in their hearts, but how dare they tell half a sentence, and crawl away.
Chen Lian lifted Chen Feng again and shouted: "And you brute, what are you doing with this fig leaf!"
"Dad, it's me......" Chen Feng was startled, his eyes rolled and he said: "It's not me, it's Chen Yue's brute!" I was walking well in the alley, he suddenly jumped out and attacked me, not only beat the child severely, but also covered my face with a cloth, and framed me as a thief...... There are also those few guest martial artists, all pretending not to know the child, and let the child be humiliated by these beasts......"
"It's against him!" Chen Lian put Chen Feng still on the ground and shouted, "Come on, bring me that beast Chen Yue!"
When even a personal guard walked away quickly, after a while, the guard trotted back and reported: "Second Master, Young Master Yue went out with his maid Chunhe. ”
Chen Lian frowned, Chen Feng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't chase those two sluts back yet!"
The crowd changed, and the guard frowned, but did not speak. Chen Lian calmed down, exhaled a sullen breath, and said in a deep voice: "Although he is the youngest son of the eldest brother, if he does this kind of thing, I, who is an uncle, should also discipline and discipline his father." When he comes back, bring him to the main courtyard to see me!" Chen Feng's eyes were red, he took a few deep breaths, and gritted his teeth and walked out of the yard.
......
Chen Yue took Chunhe to hire a four-wheeled carriage at the corner of the street and went straight to the "Five Clouds Temple". The carriage is five feet square, the door is open on the side, and the two rows of wide seats are facing each other, which can seat four people, which is very exquisite. Chunhe wore a clear green cloth and half an arm, and kept the burden in his arms, and couldn't help but look left and right, which made people pity and love.
The carriage drove past the "Qianyuan", Chen Yue couldn't help but think of the humiliation of that day, his face was slightly gloomy, and he closed his eyes. After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Chunhe said excitedly: "Young master, there seems to be an accident in front, and there are many people around!"
"What's there to be happy about. Chen Yue shook his head and found that the entire road was blocked, so he instructed Chunhe: "I'll go and see, you wait for me in the car." He opened the door and got out of the car.
The coachman sat high, sighed and said, "It's the disciples of the Longxi Royal Mansion who are beating people, don't meddle with your son." ”
Chen Yue nodded, walked through the crowd, and saw two columns of Tsing Yi guys blocking the whole street with sticks, and the two teenagers in the middle were beaten by a Tsing Yi guy with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, babbling and crying, and from time to time raised their orchid fingers to cover their faces, showing the state of a little daughter, but they couldn't get away, making passers-by laugh, and they didn't seem to mind being stopped on the road.
"Assistant!" Chen Yue really couldn't stand it, so he shouted loudly and rushed up to grab the little guy's wooden stick.
The little guy was startled, but saw that the person who came was just a teenager, dressed in a half-new green shirt, and he was not dressed brightly. After a moment of stalemate, he neither reported his own family, nor did he have a domineering extravagance, and at first glance, he was stunned by a small family, so he shouted: "You dare to take care of the affairs of the Longxi Palace!"
Chen Yue smiled: "Of course it's none of my business for you to beat people. But if you stand in my way, it's my business. If you know each other, get out of the way!"
"Presumptuous!" the little guy was furious, withdrew his stick, and jerked it again.
Chen Yue's eyes froze, and he secretly said "change", his true qi turned into a praying mantis, and he raised his hand to cut at the wooden stick.
There was a "click", and the stick broke into two sections.
Chen Yue grabbed half of the wooden stick and waved it, and slapped it in the other party's face. The left side of the little girl's face suddenly swollen high, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The color of the crowd changed, and someone shouted in a low voice: "He also dares to fight the disciples of the Longxi Palace, he is finished." "It's a pity that this young man is good at reaching out, but he doesn't know how to advance or retreat. "Little brother, let's go, it's not something you can manage!" ......
The two teenagers who were beaten were startled, and said with great joy: "Big brother, help......" crawled over and hugged one of Chen Yue's legs and snuggled his face up.
"Uh......" Chen Yue was stunned.
The little guy in Tsing Yi opened his mouth, spit out a tooth, and was suddenly shocked and angry, pointing at Chen Yue and yelling: "He dares to break into the empty door and beat me to death!"
Although the public nursing institute knew that Chen Yue was powerful, he was used to bullying people, and he had many people, so he put a teenager in his eyes, and picked up a stick and beckoned him to the past.
