Chapter 25 The Thief
This morning, after Jiang Zhixia got up, she was washing in the yard while looking at the small yard behind the main house.

This small courtyard has also been abandoned for a long time.Zhixia thought that now that she has money and time, she can tidy up this small yard.

You can plant some flowers and plants and the like.It would be nice if you could plant fruit trees.Plant it for a few years, and then it will bear fruit.I just don't know if anyone in the capital planted fruit trees in their yards?It seems that there are more people planting flowers and plants.Would it be weird if she planted fruit trees?
When Jiang Zhixia was thinking about how to tidy up the small yard, he heard a loud knock on the door.

Jiang Zhixia was a little strange.

She has been here for so long, that is, Aunt Li who lives next door occasionally comes over to chat with each other recently.However, Aunt Li is also a polite person, and she never knocked on the door early in the morning.

But, if it wasn't Aunt Li, who would it be?

Although he was puzzled, Zhi Xia trotted to the door and asked through the door, "Who is it?"

"Miss Jiang, I'm Aunt Li next door." Aunt Li's voice came from outside the door.

When Jiang Zhixia heard that it was really Aunt Li, he quickly opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhixia saw Aunt Li and a government servant standing at the door.

Jiang Zhixia was startled, and was about to salute, but Aunt Li anxiously pulled her back, stopping her from saluting, and then asked, "Did you hear any movement from your side last night?"

Jiang Zhixia was stunned, looked at the eager Aunt Li and hurriedly replied: "I didn't hear anything."

"Oh, that's okay. There was a thief in our alley last night!" Aunt Li said eagerly and angrily: "A thief first went to Wang Juren's house at the entrance of the opposite alley and stole something. It was a greedy thing. After stealing the whole house, I ran to the house of Mr. Wu next door to Wang Juren to steal. As a result, when I was stealing something, I happened to be bumped into by the servant who got up at night. Unexpectedly, the thief was so strong that he broke into the house. The servant ran away. Because of the curfew at night, Master Wu sent someone to report to the government office early this morning. Because I don’t know if there was only one thief stealing things last night, or there were several thieves working together to commit the crime, so this An adult from the government office is here to check every house."

When Jiang Zhixia heard this, his legs went limp in fright.

Unexpectedly, at the foot of the emperor, in this place where literati gather, there are actually people who come to the house to steal things.

The yamen servant looked at Jiang Zhixia, who was obviously frightened, and quickly explained: "This little thief probably just came to the capital. The south was hit by floods this summer, so there have been a lot of refugees in the capital recently. You should pay more attention, girl." It's safe. If you find anything wrong with someone or something, report it to the government immediately."

Jiang Zhixia didn't know what to say after listening, so he could only nod repeatedly.Then she thanked the yamen servants and Aunt Li one by one.

After the yamen servant finished speaking, he went on to Jiang Zhixia's neighbor's house on the right to knock on the door and inquire.

"I really didn't expect it." Aunt Li sighed, "The people in our small alley are not very rich, so we haven't had any thieves for many years. This little thief stole all the money." Wang Ju’s family didn’t count, so he went to steal Mr. Wu’s house again. If Mr. Wu’s servants didn’t see it, how many houses he would have stolen. If not, our whole alley will suffer.”

"I, I didn't expect that either." Jiang Zhixia was really frightened.

She always thought that she was a court lady and would not be bullied, but she forgot that there would be thieves no matter what era, and there would always be thieves who came into the house.However, what she fears most is not a thief who only steals.

It's fine if the thief just steals.After all, if you lose money, you can earn it again.

What if it is the kind of vicious thief who not only steals things, but also robs sex?What's more, what should he do if he kills people?
Although she is not amazingly beautiful, she is still a beautiful young woman after all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixia couldn't help but shudder.

"Hey, you're a girl, you should pay more attention to the door in the future." Aunt Li looked at Zhixia's frightened look, and said softly, with a look of pity for her in her eyes.

Due to the policy of the imperial court, house sellers should give priority to selling the house to their relatives or neighbors.If no one buys it or buys it at a low price, it can be sold to outsiders.

Therefore, after Jiang Zhixia bought the house, the yamen servant would simply inform the neighbors about Jiang Zhixia's situation, so that the neighbors would know that this person is not a villain.

When Jiang Zhixia moved here, most people in the alley knew that she was a maid released from the palace because of the notice from the yamen servants. Because her parents died and she had no brothers or sisters, she did not go back to her hometown and set up her own business in the capital. A female household.

However, Jiang Zhixia's single situation, if the thief finds out about it in the future, it will be hard to say about his safety.After all, only those who have been thieves for thousands of years have no reason to guard against thieves for thousands of years.

"But don't worry. We are closer to the entrance of the alley than you, and I will tell you, Brother Wei, to pay more attention." Aunt Li watched Jiang Zhixia's face turn pale, and comforted her, "Most of our alleys are The family that has lived in it for more than ten years—although the one on your right has only been purchased for more than two years, the yamen said that he is a captain in the Zhenwei Army, and he is a good man. Don't worry."

Jiang Zhixia thanked Aunt Li, said goodbye to Aunt Li, and entered the door in a trance.

After entering the door, the first thing Zhixia did was to fasten the bolt. After looking at it, she was still worried, so she found a big wooden stick and put it on the door.

After finishing, Jiang Zhixia smiled wryly, feeling that she was really crazy.

In broad daylight, would someone still come to steal things?That's too crazy, right?
Moreover, even if a thief came to steal something, did he open the door and enter?Aren't they all over the wall and over the door?So what's the use of holding the door?

Zhixia sat in the yard thinking about it. Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind. Now that I have a house, land, and money, is it possible to put a buyer on the agenda?
Buying a person has always been two different opinions in the modern society of the previous life.

Needless to say, those who agree.Those who disagree are naturally those who hold the idea that everyone is equal.

Jiang Zhixia herself used to be a court lady.Although the title sounds nicer, it's just a slave in the palace.

She has been a slave herself, without freedom, and her life is not guaranteed.However, life does not worry about eating and drinking.

As far as she is concerned, although slaves are very pitiful, an ordinary person like herself cannot challenge the established rules of this world.

Equality of human rights and the abolition of slavery are not something a weak woman like her can do.

What she can do is to treat them better within her ability and be a non-strict host.Think of them as employees hired by the boss in the past life society.

Therefore, Jiang Zhixia decided to put the buyer on the agenda.

In fact, it would be best if you can buy that kind of girl who learns martial arts.But such talents are hard to come by, so she doesn't have extravagant hopes.

If you can't meet it, just buy a stronger woman to accompany you.It doesn't matter how old you are, as long as you have great strength.

In this way, one more person should be less afraid, right?Bar?Bar?

 The code word is not easy, do not like point ×.Overhead dynasty, refuse to be elegant!
