Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 255 Catching a Thief
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

The last day of Shangyuan Festival.

After this day, the New Year is over.

Spring is coming too.

Many people in Chang'an City have not given up, and are still staring at every place in Chang'an for the one hundred guan.

This afternoon, another carriage pulled a coffin from the gate of the city, and there were several people standing beside the coffin, all of whom were crying.

"Father, you left so early."

"My poor father..."

A group of people were crying, and when the doorman saw the coffin, he curled his lips in disgust, and shouted: "Stop, routine inspection."

"Officer, it's my father who died inside..."

"I don't care who you died, open it and check it routinely."

There was no other way, those people could only open the coffin. After opening the coffin, a smell of corpses rushed to their faces. The yamen servant only took a look, and immediately cursed: "People who have been dead for a long time, don't hurry to bury them, get out of here!" ..."

The yamen servants were very disgusted, and those people hurriedly dragged the coffin out of Chang'an City.

And just after they left Chang'an City, Wu Jian suddenly appeared at the gate of the city.

"How about it?"

"Qin Biejia really has a good plan. The coffin transporter just now obviously learned from our previous method, but his subordinates are puzzled. Why didn't Qin Biejia let us arrest them on the spot?"

Wu Jian smiled slightly: "There are too many people coming and going in Chang'an City. If they fight, they may accidentally injure innocent people, and this will also help them escape. It will be much more convenient for them to fight after they leave Chang'an City."

"Besides, Qin Biejia is worried that some of their accomplices have already left Chang'an City. Since they want to arrest them, then don't even think about running away. Tell the brothers to follow me out of the city."

Wu Jian led dozens of yamen servants out of the city and followed them.

After the carriage pulling the coffin left Chang'an, it went eastward, and not long after, it came to a mass grave.

Then, seven or eight people rushed out from the random graveyard.

"How is it? Is it safe?" A tall man looked like the leader of the group.

The person wearing mourning took off his mourning clothes at this time, and a man with a handsome face smiled: "Don't worry, boss, brother, I'm resourceful, it's not easy to get the money out?"

"It's done?"

"Naturally."

After the handsome man finished speaking, he ordered the coffin to be carried down, and then threw away a corpse inside, and then lifted the quilt under the corpse, under the quilt, some gold, silver and jewelry could be seen.

"Boss, how are you?" the handsome man said as if asking for credit.

The burly man saw that the money was really transported out, and he laughed immediately: "Okay, okay, the second child is indeed Sai Zhuge, the money was able to be transported out, you contributed a lot, you can figure out how to hide things in the coffin, Also a great talent."

"Big Brother Miao Zan, it's just that those yamen servants don't check coffins much..."

While the second child was talking, the boss suddenly drew his knife, and he couldn't help but say that he killed the second child with a click. At the same time, the six or seven people behind him were unambiguous, and hurriedly killed those who followed the second child from Chang'an City. Also give results.

In a short while, there were a few more corpses at the mass grave.

"Second brother, second child, don't blame big brother for being cruel, it's really such a small thing, there are too many of us and there is not enough."

After finishing speaking, the man ordered his cronies: "Pack up your things quickly and take them away!"

"Here!"

A group of thieves were about to attack, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came coldly: "You have stolen the East Palace, do you think you can leave easily?"

Wu Jian walked out, and at the same time, dozens of yamen servants led by him also surrounded those seven or eight people in an instant.

When the man saw the yamen servant coming, he was very shocked: "Second brother betrayed us?"

He felt that the yamen servants were behind. The second child must have betrayed them and attracted those yamen servants.

Wu Jian sneered: "He didn't betray you, but the idea of ​​using coffins to transport things was given to him by my adults."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Jian shrugged: "You don't need to know what it means."

As he said that, Wu Jian shouted sharply: "Come here, arrest these people and bring them to justice. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed."

"Here!"

The yamen servant took the order and rushed over immediately. These thieves are quite courageous, but facing so much oppression, it is useless to be courageous, and it depends on strength.

When several people were killed, the remaining few immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"take away!"
-
Chang'an City, Jingzhao Mansion.

Prince Li Jiancheng came to Jingzhao Mansion in person, and Bao BuTong and Qin Tian waited carefully.

"Today is already the deadline, Qin Tian, ​​the crown prince is here to ask you, can you find a way to find the thief?"

Qin Tian was not in a hurry, and said: "Your Highness, why worry, before nightfall, I will definitely help you catch the thieves and recover the stolen goods."

Li Jiancheng chuckled: "Okay, then the prince is waiting here, if you can't catch it, let's see how the prince will teach you."

After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng sat down in the living room of Jingzhao Mansion, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only wait carefully beside him.

On the contrary, Qin Tian was very calm at the side, not feeling worried at all.

While the prince was sitting in Jingzhao Mansion, Li Shimin and the ninth princess came in one after the other. After they entered, they looked at each other, and the ninth princess blushed a little.

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Jiumei also came to Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Can't you?"

Li Shimin shrugged: "Nothing wrong, let's go together."

Ninth Princess frowned, but thinking that Qin Tian might be retaliated by Li Jiancheng, she didn't mind so much, and followed in.

The arrival of the two surprised Li Jiancheng and Qin Tian, ​​but Qin Tian's heart warmed after being surprised. They must have heard that Li Jiancheng was here, and they were worried that Li Jiancheng would be bad for them, so they hurried away Come.

"My lord, the Ninth Princess!" Bao BuTong and Qin Tian hurriedly saluted. The Ninth Princess didn't get up in a hurry when she saw Li Shimin coming. Li Shimin just waved his hand before looking at Li Jiancheng.

"Is the prince here?"

Li Jiancheng snorted: "Why are you two here?"

Li Shimin smiled, and didn't say that he came to help Qin Tian, ​​he just said: "A slave in the house has escaped, and I am here to report the crime."

This reason is very weak, would the majestic Qin Palace care about a slave?
Li Jiancheng curled his lips, glanced at Princess Nine again, and then frowned, puzzled: "Why is Sister Nine here?"

The relationship between the nine princesses and the prince is not bad, but at this moment she felt a little embarrassed, and she couldn't think of a good reason for a while, so she could only quickly say: "I also lost a slave in my house, and I came to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case. My lord can help this princess find out as soon as possible."

When these words came out, Qin Tian who was next to him couldn't help but spit out, almost choking out the water he drank.
