At dusk that day, the sound of running came from the door of Su Cheng's courtyard, and the courtyard door immediately creaked open. A woman dressed as a third-class maid jumped in, ducked and closed the door. Then she heard Li Xia beside her.

Exclaimed: "Girl!"

The visitor was none other than Su Cheng, who rolled his eyes at Li Xia and said, "What are you doing standing at the door? You scared me." Then he smiled and said, "Today has been very smooth. I only met two old ladies sweeping the floor, and I didn't recognize them either.

Me! No one who recognizes me has seen me! Please help me change my clothes quickly and go ask for it for my grandfather..." As she said this, she turned around and was about to walk into the house, when she saw Su Zheng and Yang Guotai standing under the big plane tree in the courtyard.

He got up. Nai rubbed his eyes and looked again - the two men were still standing, it was not fake. Su Cheng slowly turned his head and looked at Li Xia, "Why are they two in my yard?"

Li Xia lowered his head and said, "The old man and Mr. Yang have been waiting for the girl for more than an hour."

Su Cheng stumbled: "Didn't I tell you not to tell my grandfather?!"

"My slave is stupid." Li Xia pursed her lips and said, "My slave didn't find the girl's note. It was Master Yang who found it."

Su Cheng's face fell, and he looked back at the two gentlemen and murmured: "...You have tricked your girl to death..."

Li Xia still lowered her head and bit her lip: "Young lady, you're going to hang yourself in this slave trap."

Seeing that her grandfather's old face was as dark as a rain cloud, Su Cheng also lowered her head and bravely walked over step by step. It took half a day to reach the two of them, and she became more and more afraid to look up, and knelt down, whispering in a low voice.

:"grandfather……"

Su Zheng picked up the crutch in his hand and hit him on the head: "You lawless..."

Before he finished scolding, Yang Guotai hurriedly moved his crutch: "Sir, don't hit your head!" The crutch fell on Su Cheng's shoulder, and Su Cheng said "ouch".

Su Zheng was not relieved, he raised his crutch and struck it diagonally on Su Cheng's waist: "I'll beat you to death now! Don't worry about it!" Even so, his hand became lighter every time. Su Cheng was too embarrassed to shout, so he just sipped.

Keep your mouth shut.

Yang Guotai was also annoyed: "Aren't you still convinced?"

Su Cheng glanced at him and complained in a low voice: "Why did you tell him..."

This sentence aroused Su Zheng's old temper again, and he picked up the crutch and hit him again. Su Cheng shouted "Ouch, ouch". Yang Guotai saw that he had been beaten four or five times, and then advised: "Sir, calm down, listen.

She said what happened." He glared at Su Cheng again, "Tell me what you are doing!"

Su Cheng said aggrievedly: "We've gone to catch the thief. We've made all the preparations..."

Yang Guotai shouted sternly: "Stop talking nonsense!" Su Cheng was so frightened that he trembled slightly and hurriedly confessed.

A while ago, Su Cheng went to Tianning to see Mr. Zhenming and talked to him about rescuing the robbed civilian girls. He Suozi was brought up and said: "That man is so worried about his concubine, why bother to trick another woman?"

?I'll find someone to keep an eye on him, and he will never be allowed to harm other women again in this life." Nai clenched his fist.

Zhenming glanced at her: "I'm afraid it won't work. He was bound by the oath earlier and would rather be poor than resort to green forest methods; now he has done it. Once the oath is made, it will never be broken. If it is loosened once, it will be loosened twice.

, they were all broken after a few times. Since he has the green forest method, he will not be short of money in the future. If he is not short of money, he will not be short of women. If not, just buy one."

Su Cheng thought it was right, and felt dissatisfied. When she returned, she sent a telegram to Chen Ruijin in Taiwan, asking her to find a way to deal with this person. Chen Ruijin saw that He Suozi had gone to Shanghai, and there happened to be someone in charge of the affairs in Shanghai who was disguised as Zhen Zangzhu.

Liu Er then sent a telegram to Liu Er asking him to castrate the man. Although Liu Er didn't know the reason, he did as he was told. He didn't want anything to happen again.

There was a family of workers at the Shanghai Port. The couple both worked at the port. When their child was one year old, they held a wedding ceremony at home. Dozens of workers celebrated together, which was very lively. Who knew that when the child was brought out to hold the child, someone fell from the sky and snatched the child from his back.

Behind him, he climbed up to the roof along the pillars like a monkey, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The mother of the child cried and fainted on the spot. Shanghai Port was originally a port under construction, and everyone was there. There were also thieves and thieves, but there were never any

Someone robbed someone's child in broad daylight; people were suddenly panicked.

Because it was daytime, many people saw it, and the portrait was drawn immediately. Liu Eryi saw that it was the man who Chen Ruijin asked him to castrate who was looking for a wife and children. He immediately sent a telegram back to Taiwan to ask about this person's origins.

Chen Ruijin was shocked, thinking that since he could not be found in Shanghai, he might have returned to his hometown with the child in his arms, so he sent a telegram to Su Cheng to explain, ordering her to find the child in Shanghai.

Su Cheng never dreamed that a thought of hers would deceive people thousands of miles away, so she quickly sent people to Nail Lane to keep an eye on them and wait. She finally waited for He Suozi to come back, but she didn't bring the child with her! He hurriedly dismissed the clever daughter-in-law.

The son went to talk to his mother. His mother said happily: "My son has become successful! His boss is going to send him to other provinces to be a steward."

After hearing this, Su Cheng secretly complained that this guy wanted to run away. He discussed with Zhenming and arrested him for trial. After hearing the whole story, Zhenming thought about it and said: "Since he let the Liu family boy be crippled, I'm afraid his temper will change."

It's hard to say what it will look like. He has a baby in his hands, so it would be best if he can find out."

"Okay." Su Cheng went back dejectedly.

He didn't want to be followed the next day to report that He Suozi and his wife had gone out early in the morning and never came back. Su Cheng didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he ran to Tianning to watch again. Zhenming frowned: "This person is not an ordinary thief. I think he is."

He was disturbed by lying to an old woman." The old Taoist priest regretted a little, "It would have been better if I caught him yesterday. It's just a poor Taoist who is indecisive."

Su Cheng walked around the courtyard several times: "He can't have another child. The child is not his. Only his parents and children can bring him out now. Qian has gone to Nanyang. How about finding someone to pretend to be Qian?"

Zhen Ming said: "Don't be anxious. Since this man told his mother that he was in another province and had no direction, he didn't know where to go yet. It was not convenient to take two old people and one child with him. He ran away in a hurry. Xu is an oath.

Already broken, I let my hands and feet go and did some things that a gentleman would do in order to let me live a better life. Even if I was frightened, I would not know that we were looking for that child. Guess where he went? Go to the Yamen and ask if there are any rich people who have suffered this.

Thief, I can’t say that’s why he feels guilty.”

So he sent people to the Yamen to inquire, and found out that a rich man came to report that he had been robbed by thieves two days ago and had more than five hundred taels of silver stolen. Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Taoist priest, you are really a good fortune teller."

Zhenming smiled slightly and sent a Taoist priest he admired, pretending to be a watchman, to go to the Yamen and tell him that on the night when the rich man was robbed, he saw the thief climbing over the wall with his baggage. He also said that he knew the thief.

, it was He Suozi. Two government officials rushed to Naizi Alley to ask, and found out that the family had just left this morning! They became more and more convinced that this person was a thief. Fortunately, they had checked at the four city gates and the wharf, and they did not see them leaving.

Then they put the three figures of their family all over the city gate and pier. Zhen Ming said: "Even if he can walk, his wife and I can't."

Su Cheng said worriedly: "The child is too young. If they can't take care of it, will they throw it away?"

Zhenming thought: "This man is filial and cautious. Based on Pindao's guess, he thought he gave the child to his mother, only saying that he had a good relationship with someone outside. He would not leave this child without finding his biological son. Let's search all over the city first.

Take it and force him to do it again."

"That's the only way."

One day later, a real estate agent came to the Yamen and said that he had seen He Suozi and that he had followed him to see the house yesterday. Su Cheng was overjoyed and gave instructions in person for a long time, fully expecting to catch the thief in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, He Suozi never went to see the middleman again, nor did he go to buy a house elsewhere. For the next three days, people saw him in several places every day. Once, he was arrested. But this man's legs and feet were too fast.

He couldn't catch him at all. Not only could he not be caught, he also stole from three big families, stealing more than 1,300 silver in total. Su Cheng couldn't sleep.

Liu Xiaoqi is back just now. He did not come back by himself. He persuaded a large group of bandits to go to North America to rob. He led the bandit leader to explore the sea route and stopped by to see Zhenming. He met Su

Cheng was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. Then he asked what happened and thought to himself: "He has some abilities that ordinary detectives cannot catch. The city is so big and he broke the oath of the green forest. It is not difficult to hide. Unless we try to lure him out, I

Go catch it.”

Su Cheng said sadly: "Who else can lure him out except Qian?"

Liu Xiaoqi looked at her: "Master Zhang of Jin Yiwei."

Su Cheng pouted: "He will never come to me. There are so many masters around me. I don't know how many years I have been a thief, so I am extremely cautious."

"Since he is still walking around in the market, I can send him a message."

In the evening of that day, a big news came out in the market: the female officer who worked with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang Guotai to rescue the robbed women was the niece of the prefect's wife, and she was doted on by Mrs. Su as if she were her own daughter.

The next day, He Suozi disguised himself and went to a tea shop to inquire about gossip. The shopkeeper, Liao Shouping, recognized him, but he didn't know whether he was capable of catching him. He sent someone out to report the news, and followed the instructions to find him.

The story of my dear. The story says that a eunuch escaped from the palace and returned to his hometown while the chaos was happening in the capital. He didn’t want his home to be close to Ping’an Prefecture. Ping’an Prefecture was prosperous and his family had moved there. The eunuch had been looking for him in Ping’an Prefecture for more than half a year.

He got a little bit of information. Because he learned the secrets of the Rongguo Mansion when he was in the palace, he used the housekeeper who threatened them to help find someone. The Rongguo Mansion and the Gao family of Ping'an Prefecture were related by marriage, so he had no choice but to ask the Gao family.

It was extremely cheap to find someone in Ping'an Prefecture, but they found him in just ten days. He Suozi was thoughtful after hearing this. Liao Shoupingzhi glanced at him casually, and he immediately became alert and ran away without a trace.

That night, He Suozi visited the Su Mansion. Liu Xiaoqi stayed there for a long time without alerting him, but followed him secretly to find his hiding place. Unexpectedly, the policeman thought this man was so weird that he made a golden cicada escape from its shell! Liu Xiaoqi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

.

Zhenming guessed that he would not go to the Su Mansion again, but would go to Cixiang Village. Su Cheng simply announced in the village that Master Zhang was the daughter of the prefect Su Tao. When the female workers heard that their boss was actually the prefect's daughter, they all couldn't help but be happy.

There was a lot of discussion, and they even talked about it while lying in the room in the middle of the night. If someone wanted to eavesdrop, others might not know, but they would definitely know about it. Liu Xiaoqi guarded Ci Xiangzhuang for two days and did not find this person, but

He found that the bluestone that Yang Guotai had sprinkled on the top of the wall had been rubbed again - they no longer walked through the main entrance. Cixiang Village was too big, so He Suozi was good at flying over eaves and walls, and Liu Xiaoqi didn't hit it. Liu Xiaoqi couldn't help but sigh: "

It is true that it is easier to be a thief than to catch a thief, but it is difficult to be a fast one!"

Su Cheng had no choice but to send away all the capable guards around her and use herself as bait. Just in case, not only Liu Xiaoqi followed her, but also Zhenming, who also hid several dog-attracting spices on his body. Huang Tian

It paid off, and after all the tricks were used, the loach was finally lured out.

He Suozi stole Su Cheng from the carriage, carried Su Cheng on his back and ran all the way to a carriage in a quiet place. The carriage was piled full of straw. He Suozi threw Su Cheng in the carriage and covered it with straw.

He also hid in it and shouted: "Let's go." The carriage left. The driver was a woman in her twenties, wearing a bamboo hat, and wielding a riding whip without saying a word.

The carriage entered the city, jolted for a long time, and stopped at the door of a small house in the north of the city. He Suozi emerged from the grass and was about to dig up Su Cheng when Liu Xiaoqi said coldly behind him: "Don't touch her.

" Before he finished speaking, his left hand had already pinched He Suozi's neck. Zhenming had also grabbed the woman driving the carriage. The woman cried loudly: "I was caught by him!" Liu Xiaoqi tied up He Suozi.

He pulled Su Cheng out from under the forage. Su Cheng had a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth and was tied up all the way. He was already confused and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Looking at this woman again, her face was obviously wiped with pot ash, and her appearance was beautiful. It turned out that she was actually a fan from Songjiang Prefecture in Shanghai. He Suozi kidnapped him from the brothel a few days ago and ordered her to take care of a baby and take her with him.

Straight back to Nanchang Mansion. After entering the city, He Suozi settled her and the baby in an inn, and went back to see his parents. The next day, when he returned to the inn, He Suozi ordered the fan to deceive his parents, saying that the child was his.

He was raised privately. Seeing his generosity, Fantou felt a little resigned to his fate. Unexpectedly, this man turned into a thief again in the blink of an eye, and police officers all over the city were looking for him. Fantou wanted to escape but dared not, so the baby at hand took him all the way.

He couldn't bear to leave her. When he was undecided, He Suozi sneaked into the inn at night, ordered her to hold the baby, and walked away from the window with the pink head on his back. The pink head wanted to call someone but didn't dare, so he finally endured it.

Arriving at a house.

He Suozi placed his parents there and brought Fantou and the child. He coaxed his wife and said that Fantou was the concubine of the Mei family, and the child was raised privately by the two of them. Now the Mei family has collapsed.

, Fen Tou escaped with his private money and his son to look for him. The old couple originally thought that their son must be a good person and would not steal, but now they believe it more and more. They just hope that the government will catch the real thief as soon as possible so that their son can be innocent.

. Seeing that this Fentou looks good, he is much more pleasing to the eyes than the Qian family before. Fentou is in a brothel, and he always hopes to be a good person. Now he has a husband, a son, and parents-in-law overnight, and he feels extremely happy, and everything goes smoothly.

He Suozi and the old couple became more and more convinced. Fantou pretended to be his daughter-in-law and stayed at their house.

To this day, He Suozi ordered Fantou to come out to help him drive the car and let Zhenming catch him.

While Fen Tou was confessing, Liu Xiaoqi had already searched around the house and found that it was an empty house. He returned and asked, "Where are his parents and the child?"

Fantou said: "I know! I will lead you there!"

He Suozi scolded: "You whore! You talk nicely on weekdays, but from now on you will only live with me wholeheartedly!"

Fantou said with tears in his eyes: "I thought that by following you, I would be a good boy, and that the future would be a smooth and smooth life. Who would have thought that your mother, an old and pious woman who never died, actually used me as a slave to chop firewood?

I have to do everything from fetching water, cooking, and doing laundry, and I have to take care of the children! Is this a way of living? It’s clearly a violation of me! Even if two official servants don’t come to see you today, I will find a way to go to the Yamen to sue you.
Chapter completed!
