Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 292 Snitch

Hu County has a certain foundation in Guanzhong, but such a big case as last night is really unprecedented.

If it weren't for the lightning and thunder last night, many people heard the movement and came out to look around. They really saw a "snitch" flying over the wall and escaping over the city wall. They couldn't believe that this really happened. .

It is said that the county lieutenant led the army to search the city all night, and he didn't even bother to sleep until now!After dawn, the officers and soldiers also sealed off the block where the case occurred, and anyone who entered or exited would be strictly questioned to ensure that there were no accomplices of the burglar hiding in the city.With such a big commotion, isn't it just the people living nearby who were alarmed?People in the whole county who are a little well-informed have heard about it!

Not long after getting up early, various rumors about this case spread in the county.It's time for lunch now, I'm afraid even the rural areas outside the county town have spread the word, right?Many people heard the news and ran into the city to watch the excitement.Even if you can't see the Snitch, everyone is very happy to see what the rich people who have been visited by the Snitch look like, what kind of houses they live in, and listen to how people who have heard the Snitch describe the night when the incident happened.

Sitting in the corner of the teahouse, Li Lijun heard the people around him discussing the case.

Some people said that no one saw where the Snitch came from, but that man was really good. He could not only fly over eaves and walls, but also run on the roof of the street without breaking half of the roof tiles. Flying up the city wall, the soldiers guarding the top of the city stretched out their spears and couldn't even touch half of his clothes. He is simply an astonishing thief from ancient times to the present!

Some people say that such a capable flying thief has never heard of him committing crimes in Guanzhong, so why did he fall in love with a small place like Hu County?At least he had to go to a place like Chang'an City where rich people are everywhere to steal, to be worthy of his skills!

Immediately, someone retorted: "Chang'an has many rich households, but there are more dignitaries, and there are more capable people! No matter how powerful the Flying Thief is, he can't compare to those great generals who have made great achievements on the battlefield." .If he goes to Chang'an, he might be caught easily, so where is his life left?! Why don't you feel at ease if you stay in our Hu county, where you can make a fortune and not worry about meeting some powerful people? "

Someone else refuted this person: "Our county lieutenant is also very good, and he is also a general who has made great achievements on the battlefield. Then the flying robber will not be afraid of him?"

This makes it hard for others to say it.The county lieutenant is really amazing, but last night he couldn't do anything to catch that snitch!It's just that it's inconvenient for everyone to speak out. If it gets into the ears of the county lieutenant, they will offend others.

Someone turned the topic back to the case of the Flying Thief itself: "Which rich family is the one that was stolen? We have never heard of such a rich man in the county, who can call the Flying Thief to come to his door?!"

So everyone started talking about the victim again.It is said that there were three victims. One of them was a permanent resident in the city. He was not a local, but a businessman from Shu. He opened a small shop selling study paper and ink. He lives here on weekdays, has no family members, no entourage, and only hires a local woman who helps cook two meals a day.People who knew him said that he was very kind, but he didn't have any deep friendship with anyone.

Before the city gate was closed yesterday, two people came to look for him. It is said that they were friends from his hometown who were also businessmen. old friend.The three lived together in the small house behind the Wenfang shop. For some reason, someone sneaked in in the middle of the night and stole the luggage of the two peddlers.The two merchants immediately noticed the movement, and fought with him in order to prevent the thief from stealing things.During the chaos, both the owner and one of the merchants were seriously injured, while the other merchant was only slightly wounded. He stabbed the Snitch back and alarmed the neighbors, and then the Snitch was scared away.

As for what kind of treasure the snitch was after them, the three victims remained silent.Two people were seriously injured, and they needed to call in a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. When the government came to investigate, they should not press too hard. Later, it was the merchant who stabbed the snitch back and told the magistrate that he was going to take the man who was being targeted. A piece of precious jade that I sold to a nobleman in Chang'an probably showed its whereabouts when my luggage was turned upside down by the strong wind when I was on my way.

Gems that can be sold to nobles are naturally valuable.It is said that the county magistrate was amazed when he saw that piece of jade.It's just that the owner of the jade said that it was going to be sent to Chang'an to be sold to the powerful, so he didn't want to say anything, so as not to cause misunderstanding, he just asked the three victims to take good care of the jade.

It's just that after someone in the county government spread the gossip, rich local households began to visit the wounded curiously, and wanted to visit Baoyu, which disturbed the victims' peace, and the rumors spread even more violently.

The guests in the teahouse began to discuss, so the capable flying robber and the idle treasure should not be tempted by him, right?Where can a piece of precious jade be so valuable?Could it be that those two merchants deliberately concealed that they actually carried more valuable things with them?

The tea guests and diners were all discussing this topic with great interest, and some people began to mention the specific address of the victim's residence, and some people described that when the two merchants entered the city just in time for the city gate to close, they were holding two horses in their hands. Even the county captain couldn't help but look at Jishen Jun's thousand-mile horse, but this morning the horse disappeared, and I don't know where they put the horse?Could it be that he was taken away by a snitch?

Everyone seemed eager to go to the person concerned to ask what was going on, but they didn't have the nerve to bother the injured person.Li Lijun, who was listening from the beginning to the end in the corner, showed a strange expression.

Originally, she didn't think too much about it, thinking that what happened last night was just an ordinary robbery, but if the victims were two merchants who rushed into the city before the city gate was closed last night to escape the windstorm, they would still be holding hands. There are two horses, and now the horses are "disappearing"... Why does this sound so much like the shopkeeper of Fuluxing?
Didn't he leave the comprehension market yesterday with a buddy on two spirit horses?When the gate of Hu County was closed, Li Lijun just saw him and his companions entering the city. They seemed to be leading horses at that time.But when they got to the shelter, they could put the horse back into the spirit animal bag, saving trouble and space.

Last night was the shopkeeper of Fuluhang caught by a snitch?Of course, it couldn't be any precious jade that was being targeted, it should be the spirit object or spirit stone he brought out from the shop with him, right?

Just like Mrs. Wang was stabbed in the back by her buddy Gu Asan on the way to escape, and the thieves who had their eyes on the shopkeeper of the Fulu line, might they also feel that the Zhenxian Temple was busy protecting the law for Du Zhenren who survived the catastrophe last night? Maybe he has the energy to take into account the robbery in the surrounding area, so he took the opportunity to attack some "rich men"?

This snitch is quite courageous.The treasurer of Fuluxing specially took people to the county town of Huxian County to settle down, because this is a densely populated county town in the ordinary world, and ordinary practitioners dare not easily make big disturbances here.Unexpectedly, the Snitch not only dared to make a scene, but also dared to "fly" over the city wall and escape in front of the guards!
Li Lijun secretly clicked his tongue a few times, called the buddy over, packed a bag of dry food and left.

Just now she heard about the current residence of the three victimized merchants, and she was planning to visit her new and old friends.I don't know if the shopkeeper of Fulu Xing will give her a discount when selling talisman materials in the future because of her love for giving charcoal in a timely manner?
