Chapter 280 Catch the thief

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In a small teahouse in the distance, Yun Jing 'saw' the eldest princess taking away the detailed list of enemy countries, and thought that it was finally done, and it was not in vain that he had been pursuing it for so long.

It's not his turn to intervene in what happens next.

It was a pity that Yunjing's telepathy did not dare to reach into the palace, so he could not know the specific arrangements next, but he was not entangled. With that exact list, that organization would be gone soon.

"Everything that needs to be done has been done, so should I just leave and go back to the ship to continue heading north, or should I stay and wait and see what happens next?"

After thinking about it, Yun Jing decided to stay and wait and see the results. After all, it has reached this level. It has to have a beginning and an end. Moreover, it has been out for a few days, so there is no rush for this day and a half.

Since he decided to stay and see the result, Yunjing was not in a hurry to leave. He raised his head and said not far away: "Boss, please help me refill the boiling water."

The owner of the small teahouse came over with a boiling kettle, gave Yun Jing a confused look and said, "Sir, you have changed the boiling water for this pot of tea three times, and the tea flavor is gone. Why don't you put in a new pot of tea?"

I'm quite polite, but I don't have the nerve to tell you that you changed the water several times for a pot of cheap tea costing five copper coins, and you just kept going. If I had a few more customers like you every day, would I still be able to run this business?

"There's no need to refill it. I think this tea can still be drunk with boiling water," Yun Jing said with a shy smile. It's better to save money when going out.

"Okay, as long as the young master is happy," the boss was amused. He refilled the boiling water and asked out of curiosity: "Young master, are you a student who will go to Beijing to take the autumn examination this year?"

I don’t blame him for asking. It’s actually the fact that there are too many candidates who come to the capital from small families in other places and have a hard time making ends meet. Yunjing’s insistent attitude is in line with the real situation of candidates from outside the country.

After hearing what he said, Yunjing realized that this year's autumn exams would start soon.

The Autumn Examination is the test for Jinshi, a real leap through the dragon's gate. Candidates from all over the country will gather in the capital. Once they are admitted to the Jinshi and are on the list, they have to go to the palace to take the palace examination and rank among the top three. At that time, all candidates who participate in the palace examination will

Candidates for Jinshi can proudly say that they are disciples of the emperor.

Thinking of this, Yun Jingxin said that if he could be admitted to the imperial examination in the future, he would not be able to get the first place in the palace examination no matter how much he was appreciated by the emperor, and he would definitely be destined to be the top scholar.

Why, he is good-looking, the most beautiful one among the three flowers is not running away...

Of course, those are all things that have disappeared. At this moment, he felt a little happy, so he shook his head and said: "I am not a candidate."

"That's right. I don't think so. You're too young." After adding water, the boss nodded and left without nagging Yun Jing too much.

This boss is also illiterate. Yunjing is wearing a scholar's uniform. He looks like a scholar at first glance. How can he be qualified to participate in the autumn examination? Tsk, it seems that not everyone in this capital is knowledgeable...

On the other side, Yunjing was also secretly observing the movements in the palace. Although he did not dare to use his telepathy deeply, he could still learn something from the movements outside.

After the eldest princess returned to the palace with the list of information, she didn't know how she communicated with the emperor. Anyway, not long after that, Yunjing 'saw' several big bosses with unusual identities quickly enter the palace.

Yun Jing couldn't figure out how to communicate the message.

The capital is still the same capital, and people’s lives are still the same.

But under this calm appearance, Yunjing could vaguely feel an unusual atmosphere.

If he hadn't handed the list to the eldest princess and knew that there would be a follow-up, he probably wouldn't have felt this subtle change.

In this regard, he can only say that the Dali Dynasty has already taken action, and everything is going on quietly. I am afraid that in the end, the enemy organization will be uprooted, and no one knows what happened.

"So, many times the peace in people's eyes is just the peace you see yourself. Under this calm appearance, there are countless people silently carrying their burdens..."

Time came to noon little by little, and the cloud scene in the small teahouse was a bit on pins and needles, because the boss looked at him with a resentful look from time to time. His pot of tea had been refilled eight times, and it had long been tasteless, which made him uncomfortable.

Sorry.

Then he 'saw' the eldest princess coming out of the palace again, okay, I'll go then, so he stood up to pay the bill.

The boss looked at Yun Jing's leaving figure and squeezed the five coins until they creaked. It was too difficult to earn some money for tea...

The eldest princess came out of the palace again alone, without any entourage. This made Yunjing wonder, maybe she didn't bring any entourage after the operation started because she was afraid of leaking the news?

No matter what, Yunjing was holding her from a distance, seven or eight kilometers away, just ensuring that the other person was within the range of his senses.

A dazzling existence like the eldest princess is like a beacon in the darkness when she leaves the palace. It is impossible for her to travel in this status without being noticed, but she doesn't seem to care at all. The fact is that with her strength

And status, in a place like the capital, there is really no need to care about anyone's eyes.

She walked through the city and finally came to a remote small bookstore.

The bookstore is located in a remote place, and it seems to be quite old at first glance. Even regular customers might not be able to find it. There are no staff in the bookstore, just a lean old man with almost all his hair falling out and age spots on his face.

The wrinkles look like they are going to die at any moment.

Arriving at the door of the bookstore, Xia Ziyue's majesty as the eldest princess suddenly disappeared. Instead, she entered the bookstore with brisk steps like a little girl. She looked at the lean old man with a smile like a flower and said:

"Master, Master, I'm here to see you"

As she said this, she reached out to pluck out her few beards.

The old man quickly protected his beard and said distressedly: "Yue'er is here, oh, just take pity on these few beards of mine, they will be gone if you pull them out again."

"Okay, then I won't pull out your beard, but master, there is a thief in Yue'er's house. You, the master, have to stand up for me." Xia Ziyue lay on the counter, holding her chin with both hands and looking pitiful

road.

The old man's beard was saved. He seemed very happy that his beard escaped the disaster. He stroked it beautifully and said with a smile: "If a thief breaks into the house, I will kill him. What do you want from me?"

"But there are many thieves, some of them are quite powerful. It's not difficult to kill them. What if they damage your home? So master, you have to stand up for me, or I will pull out all your beards." Xia Ziyue mumbled

Le Duzui threatened.

The old man was so frightened that his hands shook, and he even pulled off a piece of his beard. He felt so distressed that he felt frightened. He said with a frightened expression: "Okay, okay, Master will just help you. Really, I don't feel sorry for the old man at all.

I still have to help you catch thieves with my old bones."

"Hey, master, help me catch the thief, and I'll give you a drink, a thousand-year-old wine," Xia Ziyue said seductively.

Gudong, the old man subconsciously swallowed his saliva, licked his lips and said: "Thousand-year-old wine? Real or fake?"

"If Master helps me catch the thief, I won't. If I can't catch the thief, I won't. It's up to you," Xia Ziyue said with a smile.

The old man immediately stood up unsteadily, as if he was about to fall down at any time, and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's catch the thief. Yue'er, you can't lie to me. If there is no thousand-year-old wine by then, I will go to your brother's chair."

"Spoil"

"I wish Master would go and torment my little brother, but it's important to catch the thief now. Then the wine will be enough," Xia Ziyue hurried to help him and said, picking up a normal bamboo cane from the side and handing it to him.

The old man, who looked like he could be knocked down by a gust of wind, said with Xia Ziyue's support: "Where is the thief? Go quickly, I will drink after he is caught."

"Master, just follow me. This thief is not a simple one. He has been lurking for nearly a hundred years and even became the mountain chief of Qingniu Academy. Only now did he discover his thief. Master, do you think it's funny or not?" Xia Zi

Yue supported the old man and walked slowly and said.

They looked like they were talking normally, but in fact their voices couldn't travel a meter away, and even a little further away, the air was distorted, and you couldn't even read what they were saying by lip reading.

Hearing what she said, the old man showed a hint of surprise and said, "Feng Yi?"

"That's him. Arrangements have been made for the arrest of other thieves. This person is not sure. He has a family scandal. Of course he can solve it himself behind closed doors, so he came to trouble the master." Xia Ziyue nodded.

The old man regained his composure and said, "Yue'er, don't joke with me. Are you sure?"

"How dare Yue'er joke with Master about this kind of thing? The evidence is conclusive. There are many rare words in his room that even Master can't understand. They actually record the identity list information of the thief. So Master, do you think there is anything else needed?

Evidence?" Xia Ziyue sighed slightly.

The old man nodded and said: "Well, since it's a thief, let's catch him. But it's a pity. I watched that kid grow up. It's been more than a hundred years in the blink of an eye. By the way, that's it.

, Could Brother Chen’s death be related to him?”

"It's related, but not serious. Feng Yi is a thief from the Sanluo Dynasty. Mr. Chen's death was planned by the Dajiang Dynasty. This is very certain, but he also secretly contributed to the flames," Xia Ziyue shook her head and said.

Nodding, the old man stopped continuing this topic. He was going to catch Feng Yi soon anyway. Then he looked around with his cloudy eyes, frowning and looking confused.

"What's wrong, Master?" Xia Ziyue noticed the old man's abnormality and asked.

The old man asked her back: "Yue'er, do you ever feel like you're being stared at?"

"Master, it's not like you don't know Yue'er's identity. Isn't it normal for a large group of people to stare at you wherever you go?" Xia Ziyue said matter-of-factly.

The old man said: "It's different. What I mean by being stared at is not being looked at, but...how to put it, it's very strange anyway. It seems that there is a pair of invisible eyes close to us, watching our every move.

, even our every word is under each other’s observation!”

"Really? Why can't I feel it?" Xia Ziyue shook her head and felt a little confused. As she said this, she became vigilant in her heart. The master's feeling was not wrong.

The old man said: "Don't be nervous, the other party has no ill intentions. Tsk, it's interesting. Don't worry about it. I have lived for so many years and rarely encounter something interesting. I just want to find something to do. It's important for us to catch the thief first.

Leave this matter to me, old man."

"Yeah", Xia Ziyue nodded thoughtfully.
