Chapter 44 Disappearing
"Where did these people come from and where did they go? You have been checking for the past few days, but you haven't found anything at all?" The county magistrate is sitting at the top. Recently, the city has been in trouble because of the thieves. The atmosphere was full of smoke, and many squires came to ask him to catch the thieves quickly and restore peace to everyone.

"Sir, we also asked those who had thefts, and they all said that there was more than one thief, and they were decisive and ruthless. Once they succeeded, they scattered in all directions. Our patrol personnel tried to chase them, but in the end they couldn't find them. Know where people go.”

Detective Guo also didn't expect that these thieves would come and go without a trace, so that they haven't been found yet.

"Then they can fly into the sky and escape. Mr. Liu, tell me, have you found any clues?" The county magistrate saw that he didn't say anything, and then turned to look at Mr. Liu who was standing aside.

"Back to my lord, I haven't found any clues. Some people just said that they saw the thieves running towards the county government office. However, my subordinates are thinking about where they may have run away from. I still have no clue. It's better to report this matter. , please ask Fucheng to send someone to help with the investigation?"

Liu Captou hadn't slept well these past few nights. Because of this, they had been scolded by the county magistrate, so they came up with this idea.

"Yes, sir, in my opinion, it is better to report it to the city and ask the city to arrange for people to come and conduct a containment. These thieves will definitely be rescued." The county magistrate is a local, and he also hopes to solve the case as soon as possible to avoid everyone having to do it. A trip to his house also made him very distressed.

"Hmph, this case needs to be reported to the city. Do you want to say that you are incompetent or that this official is incompetent and can't even catch a thief?" When the county magistrate heard this, not only did he not accept it, but he rebuked him loudly. stand up.

"My lord, please calm down. It's all my subordinates' fault. I will arrange for people to strictly guard all exits to prevent these thieves from coming back." When the county magistrate saw that he was angry, he also quickly apologized.

The county government began to set up defenses everywhere, and no one was allowed in or out. Now everyone no longer dared to wander on the streets casually. They all went home one after another. Xichun and the others were not doing well in business, so they stayed at home these days, waiting. Try to catch these thieves.

This night, there was no vigil at their house, and Xichun and the others were all sleeping at home. As night fell, the people watching on both sides of the alley could not withstand the pressure of the night and were falling asleep.

Suddenly, someone heard a sound and opened his eyes. He vaguely saw several masked people.

"Hurry, there's a thief, there's a thief." The man was frightened and was about to beat the gong when he was knocked unconscious by those people.

"Hurry, a thief has come in." Xichun didn't sleep well all night. She was worried about what might happen. Suddenly she heard shouting outside and woke up immediately.

Aunt Zhang and the others were all sleeping with their clothes on. When they heard the noise, they got up quickly and took the sticks.

"Where is the person? Where is the person?" Taozi also came out of the room and stared outside warily.

"Ah, there's a thief!" Suddenly, a child's cry came from the yard next door. When Xichun heard it, he knew someone had broken into An Wuji's house.

"Come on, let's go out quickly and call someone." Xichun arranged for everyone to go out. It was most unsafe to stay in the yard at this time.

"The thief is at An's house, let's go in quickly." Outside the door, many people heard the news. Some people ran to report to the patrolling police nearby, while others ran to the door of An's house with tools.

"Quick, there are stairs in my house. You can go to An's house." thing.When everyone rushed in, they saw An Wuji lying in a pool of blood. An's mother and several children were also hugging each other. The house was turned into a mess, and even the neighbor who came in to save people was slashed.

"Those people have already run over there." When the police arrived, everyone pointed in the direction of the thief's escape, while Xichun and the others quickly helped take An Wuji to the hospital.

An Wuji was stabbed in the stomach, and his intestines almost fell out. Fortunately, he kept holding his stomach, and several people carefully carried him with the door panel all the way to the nearest doctor's house nearby.

This street was not peaceful either. Someone had been robbed just now, so there were people waiting at the doctor's house at this time. When they saw another injured person coming, everyone made way for them.

Fortunately, An Wuji's injury was not fatal. With the doctor's help, after a night of treatment, his life was finally out of danger, but he still had to pay two taels of silver. When An's mother heard this, she was also sad. Their family All the money had just been looted by thieves.

"It's okay. I'll pay him in advance, and you can pay me back when he gets better." After all, it's a life, and An Wuji is usually a warm-hearted person, so Xichun helped him with money first.

That night, several houses were robbed one after another, and the squires couldn't bear it. They bluntly said that if the yamen didn't find out the person, they would go to the city to hire someone.

The county magistrate was so angry at these people that he had no choice but to relent and send someone to the capital to report.

However, I don’t know whether it was because of the fear of people coming from Fucheng, or because these thieves just stopped. After that night, the group of thieves seemed to have disappeared from the world. Even though everyone was frightened and still arranged for patrols, those people did not Appeared again.

Because of this incident, the county magistrate was also reprimanded by Shangfeng, but the people in Weinan County seemed to have returned to the days when they lived and worked in peace and contentment, as if this incident had not happened.

An Wuji was still recovering from his injuries at home. All the money he had earned during this period was taken away, and the family was back to its original predicament. Fortunately, Xichun and his neighbors often brought some food over, so that they would not fall into trouble.

"It was all thanks to Miss Chen that night. Hey, those thieves were so abominable. They stabbed me directly when they saw me. They also said that if I didn't tell where the money was hidden at home, they would kill my mother, brothers and sisters. If you hadn't come here in time, I might have lost everyone, and now I can only wait for me to recover before continuing with business."

"As long as you save your life and make more money, your mother and the rest are worried about you. You have to get better quickly. As for paying back the money, don't be anxious. Take your time. We are all neighbors." Vacuuming can only do this. comfort him.

Since the thieves had disappeared, the people setting up stalls on the street decided to go out after observing for several days. Xichun also took Aunt Zhang and the others to start business.

Tao Zi was frightened by An Wuji in a pool of blood this time, but he had been feeling better in the past two days. Xi Chun also wanted to use this incident to divert his attention.

Fortunately, their business this time was still worse than in the past, but luckily peace was restored, and those people came out to eat.
