Chapter 13 The thief shouts to catch the thief
The bullock cart was driving rickety, Li Zhiyan protected Ning Qiyue in his arms, and Ning Qiyue leaned on his warm embrace.

After performing a Gathering Fire Technique, I fell asleep comfortably.

Li Zhiyan had a gentle smile on his lips, and the entire bullock cart was wrapped in a warm atmosphere.

Li Laoqi smiled and said: "Zhiyan, don't look at the bad weather. It's quite warm. The wind doesn't hurt your face that much."

Li Zhiyan responded with a smile.

Lijia Village is not very far from Taohuawu Town, and we arrived in less than an hour.

On a good day, it only takes half an hour to arrive.

After entering the town, Li Laoqi went to take care of his own affairs. Knowing that Li Zhiyan and the others would not go back for the time being, he did not make an appointment for a waiting place.

The snow in the town was cleared away, and Li Zhiyan took Ning Qiyue's hand and headed towards Deji Hall.

Ning Qiyue whispered: "Wouldn't this be bad?"

"What's wrong? You are my bride. The road is so slippery. I am holding my bride while walking. What kind of law am I breaking?"

Listening to Li Zhiyan's words, Ning Qiyue smiled.

Her husband-in-law is not afraid of people gossiping, so what is she afraid of?

Although it was snowing, there were still many residents coming out to buy groceries. A woman happened to be not far away from the two of them and heard Li Zhiyan's words.

Turning around and taking a peek, I saw that he was really a good and caring person.

He is also handsome and has a bookish air about him.

I really envy that woman. Looking at her exposed eyes, you can see that she is a beautiful woman.

A good husband always belongs to someone else's family.

Li Zhiyan didn't care what others thought, he steadily led Ning Qiyue to a shop selling steamed buns.

I bought two meat buns for Ning Qiyue, and he ate a vegetarian bun himself.

"Why don't you eat meat?" Ning Qiyue asked curiously.

They are not short of money.

Three pennies can buy two.

"I've been eating too much meat recently, and I want to eat something vegetarian." Li Zhiyan said sadly.

In just a few days, he felt that he had gained weight.

He should be careful. People look older when they get fat, but they are not worthy of July.

Ning Qiyue didn't know what he was thinking. She looked at him speaking seriously, tilted her head and thought: "It seems that our family will have a more balanced diet in the future."

The two of them walked further and further away, and the bun seller opened his mouth.

These days, are there still people who dislike eating meat?
This time the couple did not go anywhere else and came directly to Deji Hall.

Deji Hall is the largest medical center in the town. Before I even got close, I heard a commotion inside the house, and many people gathered around the door to watch the excitement.

Li Zhiyan listened carefully and heard the voice of his elder brother.

Ning Qiyue pulled Li Zhiyan and told him not to worry and look at the blocked door again.

She suddenly held her waist, covered her stomach, leaned on Li Zhiyan, and wailed: "Oh, my stomach hurts so much, sir, am I going to die?"

"No, don't be anxious, everyone, make way, make way, let us in, thank you." Li Zhiyan's eyes were filled with smiles.

A naughty and smart little daughter-in-law.

Sure enough, those onlookers gave way one by one, and Li Zhiyan and his wife entered smoothly.

I saw that the medicine hall clerks were all looking in the direction of a room. Ning Qiyue pulled Li Zhiyan directly towards that room.

"Hey, I can't go in..."

The guy failed to stop him, and Ning Qiyue had already opened the door.

There were four people in the room at this time, one was Dr. Han whom he had met last night, and the other was Li Zhizhao.There was also a sarcastic man with a mustache.

The other one was dressed luxuriously and had a member's hat.

"Who are you? Go to another clinic for treatment!" The mustached man glared at the two intruders with disgust.

"Zhiyan, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Li Zhizhao was stunned when he saw the person coming, and then he wanted to step forward but was stopped by his mustache.

The mustache glanced at Li Zhiyan and his wife, and after a closer look, it was indeed Li Zhizhao's childish brother.

"What, do you want to move the stolen goods?"

"Stolen goods?" Li Zhiyan frowned, glanced at Li Zhizhao, and then looked at the man dressed outside.

"Wang Yuanwai, what's going on?"

"Li Tongsheng, don't misunderstand me, I'm just asking about some things." Wang Yuanwai chuckled and replied very gently.

Doctor Han frowned and briefly told the couple the reason.

"I made a temporary visit last night, so Zhi Zhao stayed in the shop to take care of me."

"Unexpectedly, today, when shopkeeper Tian came to count the income, he found that there was a shortage of 12 taels of silver."

"So, Shopkeeper Tian suspected that your eldest brother was behind the scenes."

"Your elder brother happened to have an extra gold hairpin and five taels of silver."

As soon as Dr. Han finished saying this, the mustached shopkeeper Tian started shouting.

"Everyday things are fine. But this night when your eldest brother looked at the shop, there were 12 taels of silver missing from the shop. He also had a gold hairpin and five taels of broken silver on him."

"He only earns five hundred cents a month. Where did he get the money to buy this gold hairpin?"

"There are even five taels of broken silver on him. I think this Li Zhizhao has dirty hands and feet on weekdays. He has made false accounts and embezzled the shop's silver money privately."

Li Zhizhao did not want to be wrongly accused and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, you are wrongly accused!"

"You've been wronged, and now you've got the stolen goods, how dare you call it a slander?" Shopkeeper Tian screamed loudly.

Ning Qiyue suddenly asked: "You said that when my eldest brother was taken in privately by you this morning, you found a gold hairpin and five taels of silver in his arms, right?"

"Excuse me, it snowed heavily last night. Do you think there will be any gold and silversmiths willing to rekindle the fire and make a gold hairpin for my eldest brother?"

"Besides, the money in your shop has marks, right? Unfortunately, the money in my house also has marks."

"Brother, hand me the broken silver in your arms." Ning Qiyue said to Li Zhizhao.

Li Zhizhao nodded, took out the broken silver and placed it in Ning Qiyue's palm.

Ning Qiyue pointed to the corner of a piece of silver and said to Dr. Han and Wang Yuanwai: "Take a look for yourselves. There is a circle here with a small word "July" inside.

"I gave this money to my eldest brother, and this golden hairpin was probably ordered by my eldest brother for my sister-in-law."

"You might as well go to the gold and silver shop and ask when my eldest brother made this gold hairpin, wouldn't you know the truth?"

"Why are you so aggressive here, forcing my eldest brother to admit a crime that does not belong to him?"

Following Ning Qiyue's words, Dr. Han's frown gradually disappeared.

Li Zhiyan, the bride, is really very smart.

Wang Yuanwai took the broken silver and looked at it. Indeed, there was a small word "July" on each piece.

Then he called a guy over and whispered a few words.

The broken silver was returned to Li Zhizhao. Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Zhizhao, I never doubted you. It's just that shopkeeper Tian insisted on saying that you stole it, so I wanted to ask him face to face."

"I understand." Li Zhizhao was not a fool. Doctor Han and his employer had never suspected that he was a thief.

Ning Qiyue glanced at Shopkeeper Tian's shoes and smiled: "Now, let's talk about this despicable guy who stole money. He is indeed in this room."

Just as Shopkeeper Tian was about to identify Li Zhizhao again, Ning Qiyue spoke directly: "This thief has been confusing the public. The thief shouts "Catch the thief!"
