Chapter 93 Catching a Thief

According to Li Yuhan, the thief was not one, but two.Both of them have excellent lightness skills and not weak martial arts. If they are not caught, Chen Ziqi will not be able to leave in peace.

The next day, notices were posted all over the city of Jianyang, saying that the government wanted to arrest the two thieves, and the common people could tell the Yamen if they had any clues.

As soon as the notice was posted, the people in the city were very surprised.You know, these two people look like Jianghu people, and the government would not care about them at all.

Fu Yin looked bitterly at the master copying the notice in the hall, he didn't want to take care of it, but he had to take care of it.The prince has become the worshiping brother of the heads of the Long Sword Sect and the Short Sword Sect. The arresters and servants in the yamen are all paid by the prince. No one listens to him at all. No one will say anything if the prince says one thing.

"Master, do you think it could be the thief Liang Shangfei?" Fu Yin looked at the description of the thief in the palace, and felt a bit like it.

"Probably." The master copied another copy, dried the ink, and continued to copy the next copy, "someone will take care of them."

Liang Shangfei was two people, one named Liang Youde and the other named Qin Fei, who lived in the Jianyang area.They regarded themselves as grand thieves, and often went to rich people to steal things, and then distributed them to the poor outside. They nicknamed themselves Liang Shangfei.

The master's family is considered well-off, and he was often patronized by these two people before, and his teeth itch with hatred when he mentioned it.The notice was copied very hard, and I personally took the yamen servants out to post it.

Today happened to be the day to collect rent. The owner of the lo mei shop looked sad, thinking of moving out after selling out the remaining few days. Seeing the steward of the palace came to him, he felt sour and said, "The house was bad the day before yesterday. I'm a thief, I don't have any money to pay the rent, see if you can...can you accommodate me a bit and take it easy."

His lo mei shop is doing very well. If he is given another month, he can earn back the rent.

"Oh, Zhang Ji lo mei." The steward looked at the signboard and then at the account book, "The prince said that the food in your store is delicious, and you will be exempted from one month's rent."

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was so startled that he couldn't close his mouth for a while, "Is this really what the prince said?"

"En." The steward picked up a pen, wrote a few notes on the account book, and then went on to the next house.

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" The shopkeeper ran out of the shop, knelt on the street paved with bluestone slabs, and kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace.With one month's rent free, the family can continue to live here, and in just one more month, he can earn enough rent money again.

Jianyang City is so stable now, and doing a small business is very profitable, he doesn't want to go back to farming again no matter what.

As much as I am grateful to the prince, I hate that thief.The owner of the lo mei shop stopped doing business today, and closed the shop to provide clues in the yamen.

"I know the description of that thief. They are Liang Shangfei brothers." The owner of the lo mei shop said firmly.He used to live in poverty, worked as a tenant for a wealthy family, had a wife and children to support, and was extremely poor. Two years ago, the thief Liang Shangfei gave him a few pennies, so he knew the backs of the two.

Recently, Jianyang City was able to do business. He sold his ancestral house for a few taels of silver. He moved to Jianyang City to live, and his life finally improved, but his family property was stolen.The few pennies back then were only enough for him to buy a jar of salt, and those two people didn't help him at all, but now they are going to ruin his family.

"What a grand thief! Bah!"

There are not a few people who hold this kind of argument. Those two call themselves grand thieves, but they seldom help the poor.

"It's still a grand thief?" Chen Ziqi was a little surprised when he heard the news reported by Fu Yin.He only heard about it from Mr. Storyteller. When he was a child, he often had daydreams, looking forward to the day when a grand robber who robs the rich and helps the poor will descend from the sky and give him a large sum of money.

"It's all about fame and fame." Luo Yunsheng was looking at the account book, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say something.There are not a few people like this in Jianghu, who rob the rich and help the poor, and those who help are stealing themselves, stealing a large amount of money, and then giving some money to the people around them.

Chen Ziqi stroked his chin, waved his hand to let Fu Yin leave, and got up to find his uncle.

"Uncle, we have a big business, let's partner up." Chen Ziqi sat down at the stone table in the yard, and said to Li Yuhan who was still practicing his sword diligently.

The sword did not stop at all, and I don't know if Li Yuhan heard it.

Chen Ziqi took out the little red bird from his arms and put it on the stone table. As the weather turned cold, he was afraid that his little paws would be frozen, so he asked Fuxi to bring the wooden saucer and let the little red bird sit on the table. above.

Dan Yi shook her hair, seeing Chen Ziqi cracking melon seeds for him, she sat down with peace of mind, opened her mouth and waited for the feed.

Chen Ziqi knocked the melon seeds, threw them into the mouth of the tender yellow chick, and continued talking about business.What he wanted to talk about was selling the swords to the Lushan sect. As a great sect, new disciples join every year, so there must be a lot of swords consumed.

"Uncle helped me facilitate this business, and I'll give him a commission." Chen Ziqi bit a melon seed, smiled and leaned over, letting the little red bird eat it by himself.

With its wings on its back, the little red bird scratched the saucer with its slender claws, then raised its head excitedly, tentatively approached, and gently grabbed the melon seed, as if afraid of pecking its pale pink lips.Pianchen Ziqi bit his mouth and refused to let go, so the little red bird had to pull back hard with its mouth in its mouth. Suddenly, the force on the other side was loosened, and the little red bird fell backwards with too much force, and flipped over on the saucer with the melon seeds in its mouth. Somersault.

"Hey hey..." Chen Ziqi looked at the funny look of the little hairball, and grinned unkindly, causing the little red bird to chirp at him angrily.

Seeing that the little guy was angry, Chenzi Qi coughed lightly to suppress a smile, leaned over and kissed the shattered head, and then peeled a melon seed to feed it.

"Om—" The long sword closed, Li Yuhan stood still, adjusted his inner breath, and then looked at Chen Ziqi, "You can talk directly to the head of this matter."

Of course you can say it directly, but there is no one to beat the side drums. It is probably difficult for that old fox Lu Xiuqi to agree.After all, the Lushan School has been in business for so many years, and there must be a regular swordsmith. It must be difficult for him to get a piece of the pie.

Chen Ziqi lowered his head to look at the little red bird bouncing on the saucer, rolled his eyes and said, "Although the monthly rate for Lushan's direct disciples is high, it's not much. Uncle must save some money for marrying a wife, right? Jian, I will raise [-]% of the money for uncle, what do you think?"

He didn't have time to try to keep an eye on this little business of the Lushan sect. He always had to keep in touch with someone in the sect for a long time. If Li Yuhan didn't agree, he would find a nephew to do it.Of course, the money for the nephew can be relatively less, after all, the nephew is definitely not as important as Li Yuhan in front of the head.

Money for marrying a daughter-in-law... Li Yuhan came to the words of refusal on his lips, and when he heard these words, he swallowed them slowly again.I don't know what to think of, and suddenly fell into a long silence.

Chen Ziqi didn't urge him, and continued cracking sunflower seeds.

"Let me try it." Li Yuhan agreed with some hesitation.

"Okay." Chen Ziqi stood up, said a few more words to Li Yuhan in a low voice, and after getting the other party's approval, he happily left with the little red bird in his arms.

Two days later, Li Yuhan, who came back to the Lushan School, handed Chen Ziqi a stack of bank notes in front of the palace, "The swords of the Lushan School for the next two years will be made by the prince."

"Please don't worry, Sect Leader, we will live up to expectations." Chen Ziqi took the bank note and stuffed it into his sleeve happily.That thick stack of bank notes, at least 5000 taels, is enviable.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and in the middle of the night, two black shadows ran up the wall of the palace without a sound.
