Chapter 1: First Sight
Although a few thin clouds in the night sky half-hid the face of the bright moon, they still could not stop the bright moonlight from splashing on the earth, and the deserted streets, among the dense branches and leaves, and the silent windowsills were coated with a layer of silver-white paint.

A beautiful girl sitting on the windowsill stared blankly at this ordinary and ordinary scene in Yuzhou City, her eyes unconsciously moistened, confused, hesitant, and lonely, but her eyes were full of low emotions. The little head leaned against the wooden frame of the window, and the thin body leaned weakly against the wall, although the moonlight was still bright tonight, it still could not illuminate this Yiren, who was hiding most of his body in the dark.
Suddenly, the quiet street became a little noisy, and the orange-red lights quickly passed through the street, and they got closer and closer to the small building where the girl was, and the cries that followed gradually became clear.
"Stop!"
"Catch the thief!"
"Thief?" Hearing a voice from the street in the distance, the girl finally came back to her senses, "Ghost Shadow Tanuki?". The maiden immediately thought of this name, which had recently been mentioned in the small talk of the servants, and it seemed to them that the "ghost tanuki" seemed to be a great thief, and in just one month he had committed three major crimes, and the victims of each of them had suffered heavy losses.
The girl doesn't like to listen to these gossips, even if it is these major events that happened in Yuzhou City, she rarely hears of them, so she doesn't know much about this "ghost shadow civet cat", but since the other party is a thief, then the girl doesn't plan to continue to stay by the window. Her own safety was secondary, mainly because the noise outside the window made her very uncomfortable, and wrinkling her crescent-like willow eyebrows, the girl stood up lightly, ready to close the window.
At this moment, a black shadow flickered in front of the girl's eyes, and the girl was stunned and felt that the hairpin on her head seemed to have been removed, but her hairpin did not disappear, and soon the slightly chilled hairpin returned, only this time it was not worn on the girl's waist-length hair, but against her beautiful neck.
Feeling the coldness on the side of her neck, the girl's body stiffened, "Am I going to die here?" The girl silently read in her heart, raised her head slightly, tilted her neck, and murmured, "If you want to kill me, please hurry up and let me die cleanly." ”
The black shadow behind the girl who held the girl hostage with a hairpin was also stunned when he heard the girl's words, and then weakened the strength of the hairpin, and then the black shadow said loudly: "I won't hurt you, you just do what I say, I won't do anything that is unfavorable to you or insults you." ”
The girl nodded with difficulty, and before she could say anything, there was a commotion at the door.
"You can't come in, you are trespassing on a private house, even if you are from the government, you don't have this right!" The first thing that came to the girl's ears was a middle-aged male voice with a hoarse voice, and the girl knew that this person was a servant who had been protecting herself.
"This big brother, just now I did see the 'ghost shadow civet cat' through your young lady's window, you should get out of the way quickly, otherwise it will delay the time, I'm afraid your young lady will be more auspicious!" As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man couldn't wait to reply.
"But my young lady has already fallen asleep, how can I make a man like my young lady's boudoir at this time?" the middle-aged man argued.
"There's always a priority!" said the young man, getting more and more anxious.
"This, this, and I'll ask Miss what she wants. The middle-aged man also seemed to be worried about the situation in the room, so he had no choice but to take a step back and say.
"Okay!
"Knock knock. ”
"Miss, miss, are you still awake?"
"Well, well, Uncle Wen, I haven't slept yet. The girl replied with nervousness.
"This young lady, in Xia Yu Prefecture to catch Yang An, just now in Xia did see the thief enter the young lady's boudoir, so I hope to be able to check the young lady's room, if there is any rudeness, I hope the young lady can be considerate. When the young man heard the girl's voice, he was so impatient that he confessed to the other party, and then seemed to be about to force his way into the room.
"Wait, let me put on some clothes!" The girl listened to the voice of the black shadow behind her, her eyes widened in surprise, and her light-colored red lips opened slightly, as if she was completely frightened by the other party's ability.
"Okay, please hurry, Miss. "I have to say that the black shadow has a strong ability to imitate sounds, and the people outside the door have no idea that the words that follow are not from the mouth of the girl.
"Go to bed. The black shadow lowered his voice and said, at this moment he was using the voice of a young man, but the girl knew that this did not mean that the other party was really a young man. But no matter who the other party was, she could only hear the other party's instructions now, nodded stiffly, and slowly moved to the bed step by step.
"Don't worry, I said before, as long as you cooperate obediently, I won't be unfavorable to you. As soon as the black shadow finished speaking, the girl suddenly crooked, her legs were weak, and she fell directly on the black shadow's body.
"What's the trick?" said the Shadow in an angry whisper.
"No, it's true that I have a problem with my legs, and if I take a few steps, my legs will be weak and I will fall to the ground. The girl finally saw the other party's "face" clearly, just like the name of the "ghost shadow tanuki", the other party's face was indeed wearing a brown tanuki mask.
"Hopefully you know your own situation. The "Ghost Tanuki" didn't care if the other party was lying, and his voice said with a little coldness.
"I know. The girl nodded, and was about to try to stand up herself, when she was suddenly hugged by the "ghost tanuki", and before she could react, she was already placed on the bed. The "ghost tanuki" took off her shoes and put them neatly at great speed, then lowered the silk curtain next to the bed, and covered the girl and herself with a brocade quilt.
"Be careful, don't show your stuffing. The "ghost tanuki" hid itself in the bed, and then pressed the hairpin against the girl's waist and abdomen and threatened.
"Well, can I call them in?" The girl was now hiding most of her body in the brocade quilt, and only the small half was leaning on the back of the bed.
"Say it. ”
"That, Young Master Yang An, please come in. ”
"It's rude. The young man outside the door gave another confession and pushed the door open, accompanied by four men dressed in blue-bottomed red-edged trappers, who began rummaging around the room as soon as they entered.
"Childe, I don't know if there is the thief you said in my room?"
"There was no sign of the thief anywhere I searched. ”
"Then please ask Yang An Gongzi to leave my boudoir with a few big brothers. Although the girl's tone had not changed, everyone present could hear that she was giving an eviction order.
"Let's go, Yang Zhu. The middle-aged servant standing beside Yang An was very unceremoniously said this, and after saying this, he also made a gesture of invitation.
"There is still a place below that has not been searched, and as long as this place is searched below, it will naturally leave the lady's boudoir. The young man bowed to the girl's bed, and then said.
"Yang An, don't think that you are the 'No. 1 Divine Arrest in the World' given by His Majesty the Emperor and can do anything wrong, if you dare to do it again, I will go to the prefect of Yuzhou to sue you for abuse of power!" The middle-aged servant immediately sensed the other party's intentions from the young man's words, and immediately became angry and pointed at the young man's nose and threatened.
"Young Master Yang An, the little woman is a woman after all, please respect yourself. The girl also understood the meaning of Yang An's words, he wanted to search his bed, how good is this, if he really found the "ghost shadow civet cat", how would it end.
"Offended. After Yang An confessed again, he walked directly towards the girl's bed.
"Yang An, you dare!" The middle-aged servant rushed forward to stop Yang An, but Yang An just shook the other party back five steps with just a palm of his hand, and the rest of the catchers all pulled out their sabers one after another when they saw this scene and put it on the middle-aged servant's neck.
With a sound of "brush", Yang An opened the cyan curtain next to the bed, and what he saw was a girl with a beautiful face and a nervous expression. The girl's originally fair complexion became pink and red because of shyness, and a heart-shaped birthmark on her left cheek became more and more ruddy because of this, coupled with her big watery eyes, and the uneasiness and worry revealed from her eyes, Yang An was a little shaken in her guess.
"The little woman Siyue has seen Yang Angongzi. The girl pretended to be calm, bowed slightly to Yang An, then raised her head and bit her lower lip lightly, looking at the "world's first catcher" in front of her.
This person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a bronze complexion, a serious expression, not angry and self-imposing, wearing a black sand crown with hair tied on his head, a green wood card hanging from the government office on his waist, and a seven-foot bright silver spear on his back. The black gauze crown is inlaid with mutton fat and jade, the word law enforcement is engraved on the green wood plate, the cloud fire pattern is carved on the bright silver gun, and the word "catch" is embroidered in front of the gold-edged robe on a black background, but a beautiful picture of a divine beast embroidered with red silk thread. This divine beast has a jackal-headed dragon body, a mouth full of fangs, a sword in its mouth, angry eyes, and a raging flame around it, but it is really violent, majestic, and lifelike.
"Miss, offended. Yang An immediately locked his gaze on the futon after a while, and Siyue became even more nervous when she saw this, and her heart was about to jump to her throat.
"Yang An, you brute, you dare!" Even though the knife was on his neck, the middle-aged servant still tried his best to stop Yang An from continuing to do this rude thing.
Yang An didn't care about the middle-aged servant's shouting in his throat, he held the bright silver gun behind him with one hand, and slowly lifted the quilt covering Siyue with the other, and just when the quilt was about to be completely lifted, a female voice suddenly exclaimed from outside the small building, "Ghost Shadow Tanuki! Don't let him run!"
"Come back tomorrow to ask for guilt!" Yang An heard the female voice outside the small building saluting Si Yue heavily, then beckoned the other four catchers, turned around and ran quickly towards the outside of the small building.
"Miss, are you alright? As soon as the catchers left, the middle-aged servant immediately came to Si Yue's bedside and asked with concern.
"Uncle Wen, I'm fine, don't worry. Siyue's heartbeat eased a lot, but the nervousness still existed, and she reluctantly squeezed out a smile and replied.
"Really?"
"Really, it's just that I'm a little tired and want to rest, Uncle Wen, can you help me close the door?" Si Yue's mood gradually calmed down, but she really showed a trace of tiredness.
"Well, I know, I'll send more people in the courtyard tonight, miss, you can sleep at ease." After saying that, Uncle Wen walked to the window that had been open, closed it before leaving the room and closing the door.
"Okay, they're all gone, can you come out?" Siyue waited until Uncle Wen had completely gone downstairs before speaking, and after speaking, she also lifted the quilt on her body to let the other party leave this position that made her very embarrassed. However, she was the only one on the bed, and there was no hairpin on her waist, and there was no "ghost civet cat" hidden in the quilt.
"This?" Si Yue was a little stunned, what the hell is going on.
"Don't look, I'm here. The voice of the "ghost tanuki" sounded in her ears, Siyue was startled, she hurriedly turned her head to look, but what she saw was a black shadow with the moonlight on her back was sitting on the small table by the window, and the window that had just been closed by Uncle Wen was opened again.
"You, you're leaving. Siyue looked at the other party and asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, I won't break my promise, it's just that this hairpin of yours, I accidentally broke it, but I will definitely fix it for you." With that, the "ghost tanuki" jumped out of the window and left the place quietly.
Si Yue stared blankly at the moonlight shining in through the window, her heart was full of thoughts, where had she seen this kind of battle since she had rarely been in contact with outsiders, it seemed that she was destined to be sleepless tonight.
