Chapter 105: Framed by thieves

Yang Shucheng was lying on the bed, unable to sleep because he was drunk.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard shouts outside, "Catch the thief..." He hurriedly ran out of the room, only to see the palace guards running towards the backyard.

Yang Shucheng followed him and ran to the backyard. The battle in the backyard was over. A total of six thieves were captured, and none of them slipped through the net.

Yang Shucheng ran forward and couldn't help but laugh. Two of the six people had their ears cut off. They were all gamblers. They tried to blackmail him last night. Fortunately, he saw through it.

Yang Shucheng once hid in front of the window and recognized them, but they could not recognize Yang Shucheng.

The six thieves were escorted and locked up in the cowshed. They turned around and saw Yang Shucheng, but Yang Shucheng was not friends with them and could not save them.

The next day, when the old prince got up, these nursing staff came up to report that the six thieves who came last night were put into the cowshed and tortured and interrogated all night. They confessed that they came to steal because someone in the mansion was an undercover agent.

The prince was surprised and asked: "Who is the undercover?"

"It's the person who came to the house the day before yesterday."

"No way, is Prince Fu an undercover agent?" The prince didn't believe his ears.

"No, it's said that the boy on the horse with the sword is an undercover agent."

"Nonsense." The prince became angry and said, "Go and invite Prince Fu."

After a long while, four servants came supporting Little Prince Fu. He used to walk by himself, but when he came to Prince Shen's palace, the conditions improved and he was helped to walk again.

Walking into the hall, the guests and hosts sat down and drank tea for a while.

At that time, Old Fu Wang almost became the emperor, but in the end the ministers unanimously opposed it and did not take it seriously. However, he was still the most favored by the emperor, and he received the most land among the kings.

King Shen was the most powerful. When he saw King Fu being favored, he became friendly with King Fu, and of course he got a lot of benefits. Among them, King Fu also gave more than 100 acres of his land in eastern Henan to King Shen.

Now that the old King Fu is dead, King Shen still misses the old friendship and entertains the young King Fu very much. The two sat and drank tea for a while before King Shen slowly spoke:

"Six thieves came last night and were caught by the servants. Unfortunately, the thieves came back and said that the person who said something about you is the young man who has some skills with a sword. He is their leader and came to my house in advance to work as an undercover agent. They That’s why you dare to come to the palace to steal.”

When Xiao Fu Wang heard that it was related to his own people, he immediately wanted to stand up, but as soon as he raised his stock, he sat down. He felt that sitting and talking was not strong enough after all, so he held the corner of the table with his left hand and stood up hard. Come.

His two legs stood there like an elephant's legs, and he could only be heard saying angrily:

"This is absolutely impossible. I trust my people, so they must bite me back." Prince Xiao Fu is also very smart. He analyzed, "Brother Yang followed me, and never left, from Nanyang to Xinyang, a distance of several hundred miles. How could you recognize these thieves?"

King Shen said: "I don't believe it either, but how did these six thieves become enemies with you?"

"I don't know about that."

"How about asking that young man to ask, so that we don't have to guess here."

"Ok."

Not long after, the servant brought Yang Shucheng into the hall. King Shen didn't dare to look down on him. These were troubled times, and thieves were robbing everywhere. He still counted on these martial arts masters to protect him. Therefore, King Shen also asked Yang Shucheng to sit aside and taste tea.

After sipping the tea for a while, King Shen asked: "Young Master Yang, you must have seen the six thieves caught last night."

"I saw it."

"Do you recognize him?"

Yang Shucheng replied: "I know them a bit. We stayed in a small mountain village the night before. These six people came in the middle of the night and wanted to blackmail us. I saw through them and taught them a lesson. They retreated."

"Yes." King Shen said, "Young Master Yang taught them a lesson. They had a grudge and followed them all the way. After I caught them, they took advantage of the situation and slandered you as their accomplice." King Shen is not stupid either. .

Yang Shucheng said: "Ask them to come up and I will confront them."

King Shen waved his hand and said: "This is not necessary. I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. If they steal, the crime will not lead to death. If you offend them, they will pester you endlessly, which is the most hateful thing."

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to give up.

King Shen said: "Here come." A group of servants came in, and King Shen ordered: "Give me a good beating on the six thieves caught last night and let them go. If they dare to come again, tell me He will definitely kill them."

"Yes."

King Shen said to Yang Shucheng and Yang Shucheng: "If you treat them lightly, they will definitely think that I am easy to bully, and they will come back again."

Once this matter was settled, King Shen wanted to keep King Xiao Fu for a few more days, and King Xiao Fu was happy to stay longer. After tea, Xiaofu Wang took Yang Shucheng out.

At this time, a group of young princes came in and sat in the living room. They talked about catching the thief last night. They all talked happily:

"These six thieves should be beaten hard to prevent them from coming again."

"No, it should be beaten. These are troubled times. If you are soft-hearted and get eaten by others, you will die unjustly."

"I heard that these six thieves also took down King Xiao Fu. Is it true?"

King Shen said: "Why is it not true? This also shows the villain's heart."

"But..." The seventh-ranked young prince was the smartest. He pondered, frowned as if thinking, and analyzed: "It's no wonder that there have been no thieves in this palace, but they came. The thieves will arrive soon."

King Shen hated the seven little kings who thought they were smart and liked to cause trouble. He took the opportunity to teach his ten little kings: "Don't talk nonsense. Don't wander around outside in the future. Be more alert at night. It's a troubled world now. There are so many things in the world." Desperados, don’t fall for their tricks, it will be too late to regret.”

When the ten little kings saw King Shen teaching them, they immediately lost interest, said a few perfunctory words, and walked out.

Little Fu Wang was in Prince Shen's Mansion, eating and drinking at noon and at night. It seemed that apart from eating and drinking, he had nothing else to do in this world.

A Niu, who was pulling the cart, also had a full belly. He had worked hard all his life, but he had never had such good food and wine before. He was really happy and unhappy.

But Yang Shucheng still wanted to go east to find his sister, so he wanted to set off early. Now it seems that King Fu is living a comfortable life and has gained more than 20 pounds than before. If he leaves Prince Shen's Mansion, he will have to sleep in the open air along the way. How could such a fat person endure it? Therefore, Yang Shucheng could not bear to urge him to set off.

At night, Yang Shucheng lay in the house, listening to the cold wind howling outside, and felt quite uneasy. His father was killed by his enemy Tong Yuhui. He could not kill him for revenge several times, but he had to die in the hands of others. Thinking of this, he became angry. His chest and abdomen were heaving and he was gnashing his teeth. This hatred kept him awake all night.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a short barking of a dog outside, but it only barked once and stopped instantly, and everything returned to calm.

This is very strange!

Yang Shucheng stood up, grabbed the sword beside the bed, and ran out.

The courtyard is quiet, the wind blows and the trees sway, and the night is dark. Yang Shucheng flew onto the ridge of the house and barked at the dog. This palace is indeed grand, with overlapping houses, connected courtyards, and densely covered trees, like smoke and mist.

Suddenly I saw a white figure flashing in the southeast direction and then disappeared. Yang Shucheng's discovery aroused his competitive spirit, and he hurriedly used Taiqing Qigong to catch up.

In the past six months, Yang Shucheng has practiced Taiqing Qigong more diligently, and he feels that he has made much progress compared to last year. Now that he sees a person running like flying, Yang Shucheng wants to compete with him.

Yang Shucheng performed Qinggong, his feet did not touch the dust, and he ran forward like a gust of wind.

Soon he ran to the wall of the palace courtyard, and the figure had climbed over the wall. Yang Shucheng also jumped up and landed on the wall, only to see a person running southward in the distance. Looking at the figure, his steps were light, like soaring clouds and riding mist.

When Yang Shucheng saw it, he jumped off the wall and chased after him like a gust of wind.

He was a brave man and did not look back. He just lowered his head and ran forward, climbing over walls and houses, and only ran towards the south wall.

Yang Shucheng was afraid that he would find out, so he just followed him from a distance. I saw the man running to the city wall, flying up the city wall, turning over like a kite, and flipping over to the outside of the city wall.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself: "What a great Qing Gong!" Thinking of the time when he and Qiu Lin crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass, he thought to himself: "I wonder how well I have practiced Qing Gong over the past year or so?"

Therefore, Yang Shucheng stepped on his feet and ran towards the city wall with all his strength. He turned sideways, his feet landed on the wall at several points, and his body had already jumped onto the top of the city wall.

Yang Shucheng stood on the high city wall, feeling proud in his heart. He looked at the night traveler, who had already run more than two miles away. There was mist and trees in front of him, and the man was almost out of sight.
