Wishful Things

The Xicheng Bazaar opened for the first time, and the long street gradually became lively.

Vendors selling steamed buns on the street shouted loudly, and steaming steam was emitting from the steamers stacked high.

A thin young man wearing a light gray robe that was washed almost whitish passed by here, looking at the big white bulging bun, he couldn't help swallowing.

"Guest officer, do you want two? Meat buns just out of the cage!" The hawker greeted enthusiastically.

The young man touched the empty purse at his waist, and walked away silently.

The peddler gave a secret "tss", and when he was about to look away, he faintly felt that there was something wrong with the man.

The young man lowered his head, his eyes swept over the passing people one by one.

The peddler frowned.

His ancestors have set up a stall selling steamed stuffed buns here for generations, no one has ever seen him, the look in his eyes and the look of the other party, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel like they are playing tricks!

as expected--

The man walked with his head down, and ran into a young man in brocade clothes head-on.

"Hey, let me tell you how you walk!"

The servant beside the young master scolded.

"It doesn't matter." The young master didn't care, and glanced at the servant to signal that he didn't need to say more.

The master and servant continued to walk forward.

However, the peddler saw that the young man's cuffs revealed a hint of sapphire blue——

"Young Master Zhou, someone has stolen your purse!" the peddler hurriedly reminded.

This son is the only son of Zhou Yuan's family in the nearby Qingyufang. The Zhou family is kind and kind, and it is a well-known family of good deeds in the surrounding area - anyone who sees it must remind him!

Hearing the words, the young man quickly touched his waist.

...the wallet is gone!

"It's the man just now!" The servant shouted loudly: "There is a thief, catch the thief!"

The man's expression changed when he heard the words, and he ran away immediately.

There was a sudden commotion and noise all around.

Seeing that many people were chasing after the thief, the steamed stuffed bun peddler gave two "tsk tsk".

It's not good to steal from someone, but he just took a fancy to Mr. Zhou's money bag. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to crash into the prison?

A group of burly men ran after the young man, and on the way they ran into Xicheng soldier Ma Silimu who would appear outside Qingyufang to patrol the streets at this time of day every day.

"What's going on with all the noise!"

"My lords, someone is stealing in the street! It's the man in front, who has gone to the workshop!"

The leader's face changed.

Stealing in the street?

Their soldiers and horses are usually in charge of arresting robbers and maintaining law and order in the city. In broad daylight, someone dares to steal under the jurisdiction of their soldiers and horses in the west city?

"My lord... I just saw that he seems to be wearing a dagger!"

The crowd did not know who made the noise.

This remark immediately caused another commotion.

The commander immediately led people to chase after him.

It's okay to break into the Herring Workshop with a dagger!

In case of hurting the nobles in the workshop, they will be held responsible, and they will be responsible!

The thief ran all the way, and bumped into a servant who was sweeping outside the gate of a house along the way. His foot slipped and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

The woman screamed in fright and dropped the broom in her hand.

The little thief gritted his teeth and got up reluctantly. When he looked back, he saw that Bingmasi's men were about to catch up, and there were two more houses in front of him, and it seemed to be a dead end with nowhere to go——

In a panic, the little thief saw that the courtyard door of the house on the front side was not locked, so he pushed the door open and got in.

The soldiers and horses quickly caught up and followed the courtyard.

The courtyard is elegantly furnished, but there is no one there at the moment.

The commander led people to search around the courtyard for a while, and suddenly heard a sound like porcelain being accidentally smashed from a room in the south.

"Go and see!"

That little thief should have hid in that room!

At this time, a young man dressed as a servant had just walked outside the gate of the other courtyard. Seeing this scene, he was almost shattered in shock.

As usual, he went out early in the morning to do the shopping, and after he bought it, he hurried back without delay. Everyone on the road was saying that there had been thieves nearby, so he listened to the bustle along the way with relish——

But at this time, what happened to these people surrounded in front of his own courtyard!

And before he went out... he clearly locked the courtyard door!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The servant suddenly pushed away the onlookers outside the door and ran towards the courtyard.

Taking a closer look, I saw a group of people in the uniform of soldiers and horses had already gone outside the study, their faces turned pale with fright.

"This is my master's private house, how can you force your way into it for no reason!"

The servant dropped the things in his hands, ran over quickly, and stopped outside the study.

Fortunately, he was cautious enough, even this study room would be specially locked with another lock every time before going out.

The young master did this, even the master of the mansion didn't know about it. In order to avoid leaking the news, he was the only one guarding here these days - but this matter is secret, and there has never been a slight mistake. How could the soldiers suddenly come today? Masi people!

The commander showed the token with a cold face.

"I saw a thief break into this place with my own eyes. I am on official business. Please open the door and let me wait inside to search for the suspect."

"What kind of thief... I have never seen it!" The servant panicked and didn't care much, and still blocked the door: "This place is locked, how could a thief enter? You must have read it wrong!"

"My lord, this window was opened by someone, and the other party should have jumped into the house from the window." A soldier said.

"Thank you for cooperating with the case—" the commander's tone carried a bit of coercion.

The servant who was covered in cold sweat hesitated and said: "My master never likes others to set foot in this study... The master is not here at this time, and the villain has no key, so he can't be the master."

If it's really just ordinary thieves hiding here, it's okay to let them go in and search for it, and he doesn't want to stop it like this, it just makes people suspicious.

But this matter is full of strangeness!

Since there is something strange, it means that there will be changes—and such changes, he can't bear them at all!

"Isn't this clearly obstructing official duties!"

The people who poured in began to accuse at the foot of the stone steps.

There was even a woman who speculated: "...he must be in the same group as that little thief, that's why he is hiding it!"

"That's right... Speaking of which, this family is very mysterious. You don't see anyone coming over on weekdays, but you can occasionally hear some cars and horses at night... Maybe they are doing some shady business behind their backs?"

"It's probably because there are ghosts in my heart, so I dare not let people see it!"

"Yeah, isn't it just a study?"

Hearing these words, the servant was furious, his expression changed again and again, and he scolded the chattering women: "It's so bold! Do you know what kind of identity my master is, how dare to make something out of nothing here, and slander nonsense!"

The mother-in-law spat out the melon seeds in disdain: "What is your identity? Let us hear it!"

The servant's words came to his lips, but he didn't dare to say them no matter what, his face was red and white.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a key—someone, cut off the lock!" The commander ordered decisively.

Haha, let me answer the two questions that everyone asked me in the barrage yesterday.

1: Is watermelon sweet or not?

—Sweet as hell lol.

2: What TV series did you watch?

——It is a sand sculpture web drama, a serial drama, the one just released this year is called "The Great Monkey", and it is used for dinner (I only dare to watch this kind of silly drama, because I don't want to be abused)
