The next day.

The third lady woke up from her sweet dream. She was still holding the light blue-purple silk in her hand. The silk had become her sustenance. "Master Zhehua, Master Zhehua, alas,

I'm afraid I'll never see him again in this life." She sighed silently, lifted the quilt and sat up.

There was a knock on the door, and a crisp voice called out: "Madam, madam, are you awake?" When the third lady heard it, it was the voice of the maid Xiaohong, and she replied: "Yes, Xiaohong,

Go and fetch some water." Xiao Hong responded, but no sound was heard. She must have gone to fetch water. Only then did the third lady remember that the silk in her hand could not be seen by others, so she quickly hid it under the pillow.

Then he got up and changed his clothes.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Xiaohong fetched water. She opened the door and came in, poured the water into the basin, and served the third lady to wash off her makeup. Xiaohong was thirteen or fourteen years old, with two braids on her head and wearing a

A red dress.

While combing the third lady's hair, Xiaohong called out: "Madam." The third lady responded: "Well, what's the matter?" Xiaohong said: "I heard from the master that there was a thief in our house last night."

When the third lady heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she thought, "Does the master already know what happened last night?" She forced herself to calm down and said, "Oh? Who is so bold as to come to the master to cause trouble?"

After hearing this, Xiaohong suddenly whispered: "I heard, yes, he is a prostitute." Upon hearing this, the third lady's face suddenly turned pale, and the rouge in her hand also fell on the table. She only said that what happened last night was true.

It was revealed, and I was horrified.

Xiaohong saw it and shouted: "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?" The third lady replied: "I, I..." was speechless. Although Xiaohong was young, she had seen the world.

The third lady smiled softly and comforted her: "Madam, don't be afraid. The master said that he will definitely send more manpower to strengthen the vigilance and never let the evil thief invade the lady tonight."

When the third lady heard this, she was startled and said, "What? Miss? Is that a thief going to harm Miss?" But she felt calmer.

Xiaohong nodded and said: "Yes. This morning, I found a note on the pillar in the master's room. It said something like, tonight, I will come to meet your daughter tonight. In addition to the note, there was also a piece of silk.

Silk."

After hearing this, the third lady's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Sijuan? What kind of silkjuice is it?"

Xiaohong replied: "I heard that it is a piece of light, blue and purple silk. Oh, by the way, there are words on the silk, what is it...'Zhehua Gongzi', yes, it is 'Zhehua'

"Young Master" is a four-character word."

When the third lady heard this, she thought to herself: "It is indeed him." She felt mixed emotions at that moment, she was surprised, happy, worried and worried. What surprised her was that he was so bold that he openly shouted that he wanted to invade the county magistrate's daughter; what she was happy about was that he was so bold

Finally there is news about him; what worries me is how can he defeat the four-hander alone? But what worries me is that it turns out that he does not have himself in his heart, but he is thinking about the young lady. After all, he is old. The Third Madam

Feeling disappointed, he laughed at himself: "It's a shame that I still think about him day and night. I didn't expect him to be such a heartless person..."

Seeing that Madam was in a daze, Xiaohong quickly called out: "Madam, Madam, are you okay?" The third lady woke up in surprise and said, "Oh, I'm okay, I'm just a little dizzy."

It turned out that Qin Muchu planned how to pick flowers after Liu Fu delivered the prepared silk. Since they all wanted me to do this, I did what they wanted and picked flowers for them to see. In the past few days, he

He had already walked around Ling County and found a few people he could target. However, since he wanted to show his reputation to them, he had to find a wealthy lady from a well-established family. So he set his target.

He picked up Huang Ling, the daughter of the county magistrate Huang Shiyuan's family. That night, he went to the Yamen. He first found Huang Ling's residence. He could have picked her up right away, but he wanted to make a name for himself, so he held back.

He saw a light in the attic opposite, so he rushed over and saw that the lady he had picked up a few days ago was in a daze in front of the bed. He was an expert, so he naturally saw that the lady was thinking about spring, so he went in again

He comforted her. Then, he went to Huang Shiyuan's room and left a note and silk, threatening to pick his daughter's flowers.

Qin Muchu's trick really worked. The next day, the whole county spread the news that the prostitute wanted to steal the county prince's daughter.

"Er Mazi, why is the Yamen so busy this morning? The number of troops seems to have increased a lot."

"Little braid, haven't you heard? There was a thief at the Yamen last night, and I left a message to the county magistrate, saying that he would come to pick Miss Ling'er's flowers tonight."

"Hey! Isn't this thief too bold? That's the county government, and there are officers and soldiers guarding him. How dare he make such arrogant remarks?"

"I'm talking about pigtails. If that thief didn't have two brushes, how could he have left a message at the Yamen last night? I heard that he also left a piece of silk with his serial number on it. The thief's name is...

What's that...by the way, it's called 'Zhehuagongzi'!"

"'Mr. Zhehua'? Er Mazi, have you heard of this person?"

"No. From what I see, this guy is either a highly skilled martial artist or a fool."

"Well, Mr. Huang is considered an honest and honest man in our county and loves the people like his own son. Now that you have mentioned this... it's a pity that we ordinary people can't help."

"Little braid, you can rest assured now. I heard that several groups of public-minded and righteous people have volunteered to protect the county magistrate's office."

For a long time, people in the streets and alleys of the county were talking about "Zhehuazizi" and guessing what kind of person he was. Some said he was a three-headed and six-armed man, otherwise how could he dare to be so arrogant; some said he was a

A ruthless person, how else would he name himself "Zhehua"; there are others... In short, there are people who can say whatever they want.

In the evening, the county grandpa’s mansion.

A group of martial arts people were sitting around. Among them was a young man with fair complexion and elegant manners. He was the young master of Zhengyuan in Suzhou, named Zheng Yi.

Suzhou Zheng Yuan is an aristocratic family, its financial resources are immeasurable, and its ancestral martial arts skills cannot be underestimated. Zheng Yuan is also willing to give charity, whether it is to the local people or to people in the martial arts, he will try his best to help. But because

Zheng Yuan is relatively low-key in his dealings, and is not as famous as Gujiazhuang in the martial arts world.

The current owner of Zhengyuan in Suzhou is Zheng Huanlong. Zheng Yi is his only son. The difference between Zheng Yi and Zheng Huanlong is that he is not content with staying at home and taking care of the housework, and always likes to go out and make friends.

Zheng Huanlong only had one son, so it was up to him. However, Zheng Yi came from a prominent family and had many flatterers around him, so it was inevitable that he would have the habits of a playboy and develop an arrogant and self-righteous character.

The county magistrate Huang Shiyuan saw that among the martial arts people sitting here, Zheng Yi from Zhengyuan, Suzhou was obviously the leader. He was very proud to have so many martial arts people come to help him. Of course, he also knew that some of them were admirers.

He was named after his daughter. You must know that his daughter Ling'er is one of the best in Ling County. He is a sophisticated man. If he wants to protect his daughter, he must rely on these people. So he asked Zheng Yi in a consultative tone.

He said: "In my opinion, the little girl should be moved to another place so that the adulterer's plot cannot succeed. I wonder what Mr. Zheng wants?"

Before Zheng Yi had time to reply, a man of similar age beside him spoke first. He was one of Zheng Yi's friends, named Xu Minjie. He said: "Master Huang is too generous to other people's ambitions and destroys them."

We have become powerful. We have never heard of the name "Zhe Hua Gong Zi", so we can only imagine how powerful we are. Look at the many masters we have here. As long as the thief dares to come, we will teach him to become "Zhe Hands Zhe Ji".

Young Master, are you right?" After hearing this, all the chivalrous men present agreed and declared that they would never come back to the "young master".

Xu Minjie waited for everyone to calm down for a while before continuing: "So, Mr. Huang, there is no need to ask Miss Ling'er to move to another place. We just used the miss as bait to lure the thief here so that we can capture him."

"Zheng Yi, don't you think so?" Zheng Yi said loudly: "What Minjie said is absolutely right. With so many of us, we really don't need to be afraid of that 'boy'. Mr. Huang, you don't have to worry. Ling'er

We are responsible for the safety of the young lady, and we will never let her suffer any harm."

Everyone also agreed.

Huang Shijian saw the situation, and was determined in his heart, thinking: "I don't think that prostitute is a match for these people. Ling'er will not be in any danger if she stays in her room, not to mention there are so many government officials."

The third lady did not light a lamp, but stood in front of the window, looking at the pavilion opposite in a daze. She heard from the maid Xiaohong that originally the master wanted to transfer the young lady to another place, but those chivalrous people advocated using the young lady as a bait to attract him.

The lewd thief took the bait, so the master had no choice but to give up. They had never heard of the name "The Young Master" and thought he must be a cowardly and unknown nobody to be afraid of. Now, chivalrous people, officers and soldiers are all around the lady's attic.

The ambush is set, just waiting for the lewd thief to take the bait.

At this time, the third lady saw a gray figure flying into the yard and heading towards the lady's attic. She sighed silently and said to herself: "He's still here."

It was Qin Muchu who came. But he seemed to be too careless. As soon as he approached the attic, he was discovered by the chivalrous men and officers and soldiers who were ambushing aside. Qin Muchu ducked and entered the lady's boudoir through the window. Zheng Yi and Xu Minjie were in their hearts

I was so anxious that I didn't expect this lewd thief to be so good at Qinggong. He entered the room in a flash. They also raised their weapons and jumped towards the window. They all wanted to show off their skills, but in fact they did not agree with the young lady moving away to avoid them.

, just wanted to show off in front of her. But as soon as they reached the window, a gray shadow smashed the window pane from the room and flew straight towards them, scaring them so much that they hurriedly retreated, and in the distance Huang Shiyuan's appearance

, and quickly ordered his men to release arrows. Thousands of arrows were fired, and the gray shadow turned into a hedgehog, falling into the yard with a "click".

When the third lady saw this scene, she couldn't help but exclaimed. The chivalrous men had already rushed to the gray shadow. The one at the front was Xu Minjie. He approached and took a look and shouted: "It's not him, it's a chair!"

Before he finished speaking, another gray figure flew out of the window, carrying a quilt on his back. He jumped up and flew to the courtyard wall. There were no arrows in the bows of the officers and soldiers.

, unable to intercept. Zheng Yi and the others also fell in the middle of the yard. Seeing the gray shadow about to leave the yard, they got up and chased after him. Huang Shiyuan was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted angrily: "Hurry, my Ling'er has been kidnapped by that thief.

Go! Chase me quickly!" The officers and soldiers immediately chased after him.

The time for a stick of incense has passed. Huang Shiyuan has returned to the hall and is walking around, neither sitting nor standing. An official rushed in, and Huang Shiyuan quickly asked: "How is it? Has the lady been rescued?

?" The yamen officer replied, "As for your Majesty, we chased outside the North City Gate and found the lady's quilt under the city wall." Huang Shiyuan asked anxiously: "Where is that person? Where is the lady?"

The official lowered his head and said: "No trace of Miss was found." Huang Shiyuan jumped up angrily, and said sternly: "You didn't find Miss, what are you doing back here? Let me look for you again!" The official responded and ran out again. Huang Shiyuan lowered his head.

He cursed: "A bunch of losers!" He usually didn't curse, but now that his daughter had been robbed, he was so anxious that he couldn't care about his dignity.

A few hours passed, and the officers and soldiers had already searched the streets and alleys in Lingcheng and the villages and villages within a dozen miles outside Lingcheng, but found nothing. Zheng Yi and Xu Minjie even chased them for more than forty or fifty miles, but they still found nothing.

There was no trace of Miss Huang Ling or "Mr. Zhehua".

The sky in the east began to turn white, and the officers and soldiers who had been searching for Zheng Yi and Xu Minjie all returned to the county government office listlessly. The officers and soldiers were already used to chasing people away like this, and they didn't feel it was shameful.

Zheng Yi and Xu Minjie, on the other hand, have very ugly faces. In recent years, they have become famous in the Taihu Lake area of ​​Suzhou. Of course, there are many people in the world because of their fathers. But no matter what, they, at least they think they are

Omnipotent, omnipotent.

This may also be the common mentality of many young people. Young people often think of things too simply, always thinking that as long as they rely on their youthful passion, they can create a bright road. But when they encounter obstacles on the way forward,

After crossing the wall countless times, I realized that I was covered in scars and no longer as energetic as before.

Only then do people truly mature.

Zheng Yi, Xu Minjie and the others had boasted about Haikou before and seemed to be able to capture the "Zhe Hua Gongzi", but now they let him escape without a trace in the face of the other party. This is so arrogant for them.

For people, it was a huge blow. In front of the county magistrate Huang Shiyuan, they no longer had the heroic spirit they had before, like wilted green vegetables.

Although Huang Shiyuan was very angry, he also knew that everyone had indeed tried their best. The only reason was that the thief was too cunning. With things like this, even if he was furious, could his daughter come back on her own? After all, he was already an old man.

The person responsible for the accident didn't yell at everyone, he just sat calmly on his chair and said nothing.

"Master! Master! Miss, she...she...she..." A little girl who looked like a maid rushed into the hall. She may have been too eager. She rushed in, only to find that besides the master, there were also people standing in the hall.

Many people. After all, she is just a maid. She will always be scared when she sees many strangers, so she can't speak. The last word "she" is like a mosquito moan.

This maid's name is Xiaoqing, and she is the personal maid of Huang Shiyuan's daughter Huang Ling. She usually lives downstairs outside Huang Ling and is responsible for her daily life.

As soon as Huang Shiyuan heard Xiao Qing mention the word "Miss", he was about to get angry. But when he looked at Xiao Qing's confused and concerned eyes, he sighed secretly: "Oh, she just cares about Ling'er. I

How can I compete with her?" So he said to Xiao Qing surprisingly gently: "Xiao Qing, the young lady was kidnapped by the thief. We all know this. Go down and don't cause trouble here.

.”

But Xiaoqing became anxious and said: "No, sir! Miss, she is in the room!"

Everyone's expressions changed after hearing this. Xu Minjie was the first to speak: "Impossible, we saw Miss Huang being kidnapped by the lewd thief last night!" Everyone also looked at Xiao Qing with suspicion. They believed it.

own eyes.

Huang Shiyuan sighed: "Xiaoqing, do you miss Miss? It's no wonder. You have followed Miss since you were a child, so your feelings for her are naturally very deep."

Xiaoqing said loudly: "I'm not lying! I was downstairs last night and heard that there was a prostitute... and thieves were coming, which scared me so much that I couldn't sleep. When I got up, I heard a lot of noise outside. There were people shooting arrows and people angry.

Hey, there was someone wielding the sword, so I didn't dare to move. But soon there was no sound. I secretly looked out from the crack of the window. The yard was quiet. All the sounds just now were gone, and I didn't see anyone.

!I suddenly thought of the lady, so I bravely went to the lady's room, opened the door and saw that the lady was lying on the bed. I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close the door, but found that the lady's eyes were still open.

, and went forward. As soon as I walked to the bed, the window suddenly opened, and a shadow floated in. He raised his hand and waved, and I fell unconscious. When I woke up, the lady was still lying on the bed,

She kept her eyes open and said nothing. I got up and called her, but even after calling her several times, she didn't respond. She, she, she..." When she said it later, Xiaoqing started to cry. It was obvious that she was

I have never seen a lady like this.

After hearing this, Zheng Yi shouted: "No! We have fallen into a trap!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the hall. Huang Shiyuan also woke up and shouted quickly: "Quick, go to the lady's attic!" Everyone listened.

, all understood what was going on, and rushed to Huang Ling's boudoir. Instead, they left Xiao Qing where she was.

In front of the door of Huang Ling's boudoir, Zheng Yi hesitated. After all, he was a member of a noble family. Although he was eager to know the facts, he did not dare to open the door of Huang Ling's room. Huang Ling's absence was still excused.

Once she was really inside, it would be very unreasonable.

Huang Shiyuan pushed aside the crowd, pushed open the door and went in. When he first entered, he entered a living room. Turning to the right and opening the beaded curtain, it was Huang Ling's bedroom. Huang Shiyuan's heart was very conflicted. He wanted to see his daughter inside, but he also didn't want to see her.

Inside, Huang Shiyuan's hands trembled a little when he opened the curtain, and he stopped in front of the curtain. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly opened the curtain with both hands and strode in.

"Ling'er!" Huang Shiyuan cried out in silence. Sure enough, as Xiao Qing said, the county magistrate's daughter, his daughter, Huang Ling, was lying on the bed, with a bloodless face, lifeless eyes, and a little messy hair. The most disturbing thing was

What caught the eye of the county magistrate was a piece of silk in the hand of his daughter Huang Ling, which was exactly the same as the silk he had seen in the morning.

He knew whose silk it was. But at this time, what could his father with gray temples do? When he thought that he was unable to protect his beloved daughter, he was heartbroken and heartbroken. His whole body suddenly became old.
