Outside the Hou's Mansion in the east of the city, the snitch, dressed in night clothes, silently jumped over the tall wall and jumped into the Hou's Mansion.
This is the target chosen by the snitch these days.
The Hou family is extremely wealthy, but they are unkind and have a bad reputation in Anyang County.
As a "flying knight" and a "righteous thief" who adheres to the principle of "rob the rich and give to the poor", how could he let the Hou Mansion go?
He plans to "steal" the Hou Mansion to the ground today, and must make the Hou Mansion "bleed" severely and teach the Hou Mansion a profound lesson!
The snitch observed for a while and was about to prepare for further action.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh".
Suddenly, three figures suddenly rushed out of the yard, jumped out, and jumped directly out of the high wall.
The three men passed by the snitch.
The snitch even saw the eyes of three figures lingering on him for a moment.
"what happened?"
"Have you met your colleagues?"
The snitch was a little confused.
He has actually been a snitch for a long time, but this is the first time he encountered such a "coincidence".
"Dang Dang Dang".
But at this moment, the people in the Hou Mansion were awakened.
The snitch even heard someone crying and shouting: "Come quickly, someone has stolen the child, the young master has been stolen by the thief..."
"Stealing children?"
The snitch recalled carefully.
There seemed to be a cloth bag on the shoulders of the three night walkers.
The bag is bulging, and I don’t know what it contains.
He thought it was gold and silver before.
But now it seems that it should be a child.
In such a moment of confusion, the guards of the Hou Mansion immediately searched everywhere, and soon discovered the snitch.
"Quick, the thief is there."
"Put down the young master!"
The guard chased the snitch.
The snitch frowned, but he also knew that he had been discovered and there was nothing he could do now.
So, with a slight leap, he jumped out of the high wall.
The guards seemed to have thought of something when they saw such superb "Qing Kung".
So, he immediately shouted: "It's a snitch!"
"Hurry up and chase! The snitch has stolen the young master."
"Damn snitch, not only stole money, but also stole children..."
Hearing the scoldings coming and going in the Hou Mansion, the snitch became angry.
How could he not understand that he had been misunderstood.
It seems that he even took the blame for someone else!
"Damn it!"
The snitch was shocked and angry. He was a thief who acted for heaven and robbed the rich and gave to the poor. He was not a thief who stole children!
But he couldn't explain it. The blame was firmly placed on him and he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to!
"hateful!"
What the snitch hates is the three thieves who really stole the child!
But he was helpless now, so he could only grit his teeth and use his body skills to quickly move away.
...
Time flew by, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Tan Qianyang's body has almost completely adapted to the huge amount of energy and blood.
Tan Qianyang feels that within the next day or two, he should be able to continue adding more points and raise the Celestial Phantasm Skill to the third level!
After seven days of hard training at home, Tan Qianyang also gained something.
At the very least, if you have just started to learn Vajra Fist, you should not be far away from mastering it.
However, after seven days of "staying at home", Tan Qianyang was indeed a little bored.
"I haven't seen Chen Yu in the past few days. Isn't this guy just enjoying himself on Nightingale's flower boat?"
Tan Qianyang thought for a moment and realized that five hundred taels of silver was enough for Chen Yu to buy Nightingale's flower boat for half a month.
Maybe, Chen Yuzhen will be singing and singing every day and will not miss Shu anymore.
"Well, let's go to Anyang River later to have a look."
Tan Qianyang waited until dusk, then left Tan Mansion with Da Zhuang, his guards and others.
There is no curfew in Anyang County at night.
Therefore, the city is quite lively.
It's just that Tan Qianyang doesn't have time to enjoy the night view of Anyang County now.
This time he did not go shopping, but took people straight to the Anyang River outside the city.
From a distance, Tan Qianyang saw many flower boats floating on the Anyang River.
As the breeze blows, the air is filled with the scent of rouge mixed with wine.
There are many boatmen docked on the shore.
If you want to board the flower boat, you have to hire a boatman to punt it.
Therefore, many boat owners are working hard to attract business.
There are many people on the shore.
There are even many stalls selling snacks and late-night snacks.
The Anyang River flower boat business is very good, and it has also driven the snack business on the banks of the Anyang River.
There are many people nearby who are willing to stay up late to do business by the Anyang River.
Tan Qianyang took a look and saw that there were braised chicken feet, spicy and sour chicken feet, braised pig heads, etc. The smell of the meat made him feel a little hungry.
"How about eating something first?"
Tan Qianyang thought for a while and decided to eat some first.
Anyway, the flower boat is on the Anyang River and cannot escape.
Tan Qianyang went to Nightingale's flower boat, so he naturally knew her.
Therefore, he saw Nightingale's flower boat floating on the Anyang River at a glance.
"Come, come, I'm treating you to this young master. You can eat as much as you like."
Tan Qianyang also greeted Da Zhuang and the guards, and ordered whatever he wanted to eat.
"Thank you, Master!"
The guards were naturally smiling.
I followed the young master outside the city at night, so I would be happy to have wine and meat to eat.
Tan Qianyang ordered a plate of spicy and sour chicken feet, which is his favorite.
I ordered braised pork again and some drinks.
Just as Tan Qianyang was chewing chicken feet with relish, suddenly, someone on the shore shouted: "Come on, someone has jumped into the river!"
"Jump into the river?"
Tan Qianyang immediately took three steps and two steps at a time and walked towards the crowd.
The guards of Tan Mansion also hurriedly followed.
Tan Qianyang came to the crowd and followed everyone's gaze and saw a body floating vaguely on the Anyang River.
I don't know if he died or not.
"How long did it take to jump into the river?"
Tan Qianyang grabbed an onlooker and asked.
"It seems that he didn't jump into the river, but accidentally fell into the water. It didn't take long..."
Tan Qianyang doesn't know how to swim.
So, he said to the Tan family guard behind him: "Who knows how to swim? Hurry down to the river to save people!"
Immediately, two guards jumped into the river without saying a word.
Soon, the two guards dragged the woman to the shore.
However, the woman was no longer breathing and was dead.
Some of the people around seemed to know the woman.
"It's the wife of the Zhou family."
"Oh, what a crime. Mrs. Zhou's husband just died, and her only daughter was stolen by a burglar. She posted her daughter's portrait everywhere in the hope of finding her, but she accidentally fell into the water and died."
"It's so pitiful. I've also met Mrs. Zhou's daughter. Her name is Miaomiao. She is a well-behaved child."
"The snitch is still a nuisance. If the snitch hadn't stolen the child, Mrs. Zhou wouldn't have had to come to the river to look for the child at night. Naturally, she wouldn't have slipped and fallen into the water."
Many people in the crowd were filled with indignation. They felt pity for the Zhou family's wife and hated the thief who stole the child.
"Huh? Didn't that snitch steal from the rich and give to the poor? Isn't he said to be a righteous thief? How could he steal a child?"
Some people don't seem to know.
"Bah, what a righteous thief. The people in the Hou Mansion saw the thief stealing the child with their own eyes, how can it be false?"
"Yes, I heard about it too. The snitch has stolen several children in the past few days, and the government has offered a reward for their capture, but they have yet to capture the snitch."
"The snitch comes and goes without a trace. Who can catch him?"
Tan Qianyang frowned when he heard this.
How does this matter have anything to do with Snitch?
Besides, why would a snitch steal a child for no reason?
But looking at the people around him talking about it, it doesn't seem to be false.
Tan Qianyang grabbed the woman's wrist and felt for her pulse.
He has no pulse and is indeed dead.
However, Tan Qianyang found that the woman was tightly holding a paper ball in her hand.
Tan Qianyang opened the woman's hand hard and took out the paper ball.
The paper ball has been soaked in water and is somewhat tattered.
But the whole thing is still relatively complete.
Tan Qianyang slowly unfolded the ball of paper and found a portrait on it.
The portrait shows a little girl, about five or six years old, with braids and an innocent look.
The painting is extremely realistic.
"Miaomiao, this is Mrs. Zhou's child Miaomiao!"
Someone exclaimed.
"Miaomiao?"
Tan Qianyang looked at the portrait in his hand and then at the woman.
No wonder Madam Zhou would come to the river at night to look for her child.
There would be a lot of people by the river at night, and someone might have seen the child, so the woman came to the river to look for the child.
Unfortunately, he lost his footing and fell into the river.
At this moment, Tan Qianyang found a line of small words appearing in front of his eyes.
"A portrait that entrusts the hope of Mrs. Zhou's family."
"The eagerness to find a daughter makes a loving mother die."
"Finding Zhou Miaomiao and comforting the spirit of the Zhou family's lady in heaven may be a great reward!"
Tan Qianyang's heart trembled.
His hands held the portrait tightly.
Unexpectedly, the panel was "triggered" again by the Anyang River.
Looking at the corpse of Mrs. Zhou's wife, the other party still had her eyes open and refused to close her eyes.
Tan Qianyang stretched out his hand, touched the other person's eyes lightly, and then whispered softly: "Don't worry, I will help you find Miaomiao..."
Mrs. Zhou's eyes finally closed.
Tan Qianyang put away the portrait and asked Da Zhuang to send the body of the Zhou family's wife back to the Zhou family.
He didn't care to look for Chen Yu anymore, and hurried back to Tan Mansion with his people.
