Chapter 242 The Thief
Song Zhi watched Su Qing remain silent, walked over and said, "Don't worry, I will guard your roof, and I will appear in front of you as soon as there is anything."

Su Qing threw the handkerchief on the table and sneered, "Do you really think there are thieves?"

Song Zhi frowned, "Master Wu is the most impartial person sent by Governor Wu, there should be no fakes."

"It's true, but who is it and who knows?"

Su Qing raised her eyes, looked into Song Zhi's eyes and said, "Tonight, a fierce fight is inevitable."

In the afternoon, it was rumored that the thieves had already left the mountain, and Lord Wu, the prefect, went up to the mountain to make amends. "Princess, lord, it's my fault. I didn't report to the higher authorities in time. It's my fault that the princess and lord are trapped here."

"How did the thief get in?"

Lord Wu clasped his fists and said, "A group came from Hedong Road. They killed, wounded and looted all the way, and they did everything. Because they ran away after finishing their work, without leaving any traces. The officials along the way couldn't catch them in time. I robbed a group of businessmen half a month ago, and I have already led the Habayashi Army to arrest them once, but failed."

Su Qing whispered: "Oh, it seems to be true, how many people are there?"

Master Wu thought for a while, and said: "There are more than 20 people, and their martial arts are not low. It seems that there is a special person in charge. I don't know the specific situation. This matter is my fault."

Su Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, grabbed her sleeve with one hand, and felt her heart stabilized after she touched the hard object.

"Hmph, if they dare to barge in, I will definitely let them come and go."

Lu pulled out the big knife in his hand, showing a mocking smile, "It's just a few thieves, even the dignified governor can't catch them, and he's not afraid of being embarrassing."

"Lu Yi, don't be rude."

Prince Ma Dan clasped his fists and said, "My brother is open-minded, Lord Wu, don't take offense, I want to ask, since the thief has left, there are so many female relatives here, can't you go down the mountain?"

Master Wu's heavy voice sounded, "The thieves have entered the mountain, if a large force goes down the mountain, it will only attract their attention, and the thieves in the entire Lanshan Temple know best, when I came up, half of the Habayashi Army was trapped .”

"There are agencies."

Liang Jingrui said: "They also designed a mechanism, this is too much of a coincidence."

Princess Ruixi was very happy, standing beside Liang Jingrui, "My lord, is there any danger?"

Huang Siyu said with a displeased face: "Of course it's nothing serious, the prince is here, it must be safe."

Li Jin'er wanted to speak, but finally lowered her head, but her eyes were particularly vicious.

Li Su'er was a little anxious, "We live here, so many people, and all of them are officials' ladies, are you sure we are not in danger here? I want to find my father, and I want my father to take me home."

A flash of panic flashed across Mr. Wu's face, which happened to be seen clearly by Su Qing, while Liang Jingrui next to him didn't speak, but just looked down at the wrench on his thumb.

This must be no ordinary thief.

Su Qing was absolutely sure that if it was really a thief, then Liang Jingrui's expression would be calm, and he even looked forward to it.

Explain that these people are just bait.

Want to catch the thieves, but also think that they can be protected, is there something else in it?

Master Wu said something else to Liang Jingrui, and when everyone was in the main hall, a woman in a white dress and a velvet flower on her head suddenly walked in from the door.

She was Ana, with outstanding appearance, and she put her slender hands on the arms of the maid beside her. When she walked slowly into the hall, Li Su'er behind her gasped, "Miss Zhou."

Princess Ruixi asked strangely: "Who is Miss Zhou? Why are you so arrogant?"

Li Su'er explained: "Miss Zhou is the only daughter of Duke Zhou, who was a hero of the late emperor. Now in Liyang, no one can stand side by side with Duke Zhou."

Su Qing looked at the woman who came over, she was so beautiful that even Prince Madan next to her couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Miss Zhou."

Liang Jingrui took two steps forward, his expression was as usual, but his eyes showed joy for no reason, Liang Jingrui clasped his fists and said, "Just now I heard that Miss Zhou is here, is Duke Zhou also here?"

Miss Zhou curtsied slightly, and said to Liang Jingrui, "I have met the prince, and I have met the princess."

Su Qing nodded slightly, Miss Zhou got up and said: "Go back to the prince, my father is not here. I came to pray for my mother. I have lived here for ten days. I originally planned to leave today."

Liang Jingrui nodded slowly, looked at Ms. Zhou and said, "Master Wu was telling me just now that there is a group of thieves dealing with this place. I'm afraid I can't leave Lanshan Temple today, and Ms. Zhou will feel wronged and stay for another night."

Ms. Zhou was slightly shocked, "In this case, don't the ladies here all live outside?"

The boudoir lady of Daliang, if there is no important matter, naturally she can't sleep outside. Of course, she can pray to her family and live in another place, which can be regarded as a relaxation.

Liang Jingrui nodded, "Yes, but the princess and ladies can rest assured that Lord Wu has sent someone to guard here to ensure that everything is safe."

Miss Zhou curtly said: "So, thank you, my lord."

After Miss Zhou finished speaking, she looked at Su Qing and nodded slightly. Su Qing also smiled, and she turned to leave.

Li Su'er saw Miss Zhou appearing and then leaving, snorted coldly, rolled her eyes and said, "What's so special, I really think of myself as a noble daughter of the Tian family, and I'm not afraid of showing off."

Most women would come forward to say hello one by one, but Miss Zhou didn't say anything except to greet Su Qing, which was definitely a show of condescension.

"No, I don't think she's that beautiful either, it's just because of her background."

Huang Yinzhen also disdainfully said: "Which one of the people present here has a bad background, she is a lonely daughter of the former emperor and former minister, she really takes herself seriously."

Huang Siyu said: "The emperor respects Zhou Guogong, and she is naturally different from us. I heard that her name was chosen by the late emperor himself. It is called Zhou Qingyan, which means to let her stay young forever."

Zhou Qingyan and Su Qing silently read the name, looked at Liang Jingrui, and at the same time looked at Liang Jingrui, and Li Jin'er.

Back in the small courtyard, Li Su'er said to Su Qing: "Princess, with so many of us in this small courtyard, will it attract the attention of thieves, or should we live separately?"

Li Jin'er pulled Li Su'er and said, "No, it's because there are so many people. If something happens, there is someone to take care of her, and there are already people in other places of Lanshan Temple."

Su Qing said: "According to the previous arrangement, let's live like this tonight."
