Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 94
He Liu gave out the eunuch Qian's bedroom.

He Liu said to Eunuch Qian's "counter food" Yun'er: "From today on, you are no longer Eunuch Qian's person. Go home."

Yun'er knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you for saving my life, my lord."

He Liu helped Yun'er up: "Oh, you are also a hard-working person. Let's go."

Old Hu asked He Liu: "How is it? Has the Qian confessed?"

He Liu nodded: "The account books are hidden in the west account room of the eunuch's mansion, the head of the Shibo Division. But according to Qian Kun, the west account room is heavily guarded, let alone steal any account books, as long as you approach within a hundred steps, you will be arrested The blunderbusses of the guards were shot into honeycombs, and the waist knives were chopped into meat sauce."

Old Hu thought for a while, and said: "Ordinary people can't enter the west tent, what if it's a Thief?"

He Liu's expression changed when he heard the words "Stole Saint".

Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, is most jealous of others "stealing saints" on the premise of him.

Twenty-six years ago, Lu Bing was the Fushi of Beizhen of Jinyiwei.

A "sage of robbers" came out of the south of the Yangtze River.This person is nicknamed Yanzifei.Steal the bank coffers of ten rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River overnight.

No matter how powerful the "Stole Thief" is, in the eyes of Jin Yiwei, he is only a thief at best.Jin Yiwei was in charge of the Tongtian case, so Lu Bing had nothing to do with Pirate Saint.

However, the thieves were so bold that they stole the earl's golden seal bestowed by the first emperor on the loyalty of the loyal uncle in Nanjing.

This can be regarded as a blatant demonstration of the robber saint to the court.Emperor Jiajing ordered Lu Bingnan to go south to the south of the Yangtze River to arrest the robber saint.

Lu Bing set up an ambush in the west of the city, waiting for the robbers.Who would have thought that the robber saint escaped the trap set by Shang Baijin Yiwei and ran away, and the bird has not been heard from since then.

Lu Bing has handled countless major cases in his life, but only the Jiangnan robbery case missed and the culprit escaped.This was regarded by Lu Bing as a lifelong shame.

He Liu asked Lao Hu: "Could it be that the sage thief is still in the world? Can your old Hu make him steal the account books for us?"

Old Hu smiled: "Sage Thief really wants to sell my old face a bit thinner."

He Liu said meaningfully: "You old guy, it's really not easy."

———————Row upon row of restaurants in the bustling city of Yangzhou.Lao Hu led He Liu wandering around Yangzhou city.

He Liu asked Lao Hu: "Didn't you say you were going to find the Thief? Why do you only ask what kind of wine the restaurants sell?"

Old Hu said: "If you want to visit Pirates, you need to find a restaurant that specializes in Xiliang wine."

After searching for half a day, the two finally found a restaurant selling Xiliang wine in the north of Yangzhou City.

When Lao Hu entered the shop, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Take two catties of good Xiliang wine, and then two catties of cooked lamb."

Xiao Er agreed, "Two catties of Xiliang wine, two catties of top-quality cooked mutton, here we come!"

He Liu became a little impatient: "Old Hu, aren't we looking for the Thief? Why are you drinking and eating meat here?"

Lao Hu smiled: "Lao Liu, you don't know. Thief Saint is an alcoholic just like me. He only likes to drink this Xiliang wine. Commander Lu missed him when he was arrested. He has been living in seclusion in Yangzhou City. This is the only restaurant in Yangzhou City that sells Xiliang wine. I bet that the Thief will show up."

The two chose a table near the door, and Xiao Er served the wine and meat together.

Old Hu raised his wine glass: "This is called waiting for a rabbit. The Thief is haunted, and the city of Yangzhou is so huge. Where can we find him? We can only sit here, drink and wait for him, the rabbit."

He Liu was patient and sat in the restaurant with Lao Hu for a whole day, where was there any shadow of a thief?

Near dusk, suddenly a five or sixty-year-old man walked into the restaurant.He went straight to the counter.

Xiao Er asked, "Is Uncle Yan here? Is it still the old rules?"

The old man nodded: "Well, the old rules!"

Xiao Er first scooped up a whole bowl of wine with a wine pestle, and handed it to the old man.

The old man raised his neck and drank it down in one gulp.Then he put two wine gourds on the counter, and said to Xiao Er, "Fill it up."

"Slap." Lao Hu slapped the old man from behind.

The old man turned his head to look at Lao Hu, and said in surprise, "Grandpa? Why are you here?"

Old Hu laughed loudly: "I've been waiting for you here all day. I have something to ask you, go, sit over there and talk."

Lao Hu introduced He Liu: "This is my old acquaintance, Yan Zixiao."

Old Hu turned his head and said to the old man, "This is He Laoliu from our Jinyiwei Thirteenth Taibao."

He Liu was surprised: Yan Zixi?Isn't it just swallows flying?Could it be that the old man in front of him is the robber saint who dominated the south of the Yangtze River back then?
The three sat down.

Lao Hu said to Yan Zifei: "Brother, I am looking for you this time because I want to ask you."

Yan Zifei picked up the wine bowl, and drank another whole bowl of wine with a "gudong gudong": "Gonggong, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. I owe you the favor back then. Tell me, what can I do for you? Can you do it?" I will definitely do it."

Lao Hu told him about the theft of Yang Jinshui's account books.

Yan Zifei laughed and said, "Oh, it's a trivial matter."

He Liu looked Yan Zifei up and down, the robber saint back then is now over 60 years old.An old BMW can't keep up with a lame donkey.Letting such an old man steal the account books from the heavily guarded chief eunuch's mansion is tantamount to sending him to his death.

He Liu said worriedly: "Senior, the west tent of the Chief Eunuch's Mansion is heavily guarded. Are you... all right?"

Yan Zifei said: "Which aspect is He Liuye asking? If you want to talk about the old man, you can't even scare the birds. Back then, you peed three feet against the wind, but now you have a shoe against the wind. But if you want to go to the chief eunuch's mansion, what will you get?" It's a trivial matter to me."

He Liudao: "Senior, I don't want you to die."

Yan Zifei laughed and said, "Death? Oh, you underestimate me too much! The title of robber saint is not for nothing."

Yan Zifei's eyes flashed brightly when he mentioned the word "stealing saint".

He Liudao: "Senior, did you still have a relationship with Lao Hu back then?"

Yan Zifei smiled: "I was young and vigorous back then. I offended Commander Lu of your Jinyiwei. If Lao Hu hadn't let me go, maybe I would have been cut into eight pieces by your Commander Lu. Haha , I heard that 25 years ago, after I escaped, Jin Yiwei issued a kill order for me? Jin Yiwei's kill order is valid for 20 years. Now things are different, and you, Commander Lu, will not be like that You hated me so much at the beginning. You, the Sixth Master of Jinyiwei, don’t kill the donkey. After I finish this matter for you, you go on your Yangguan Road, and I will go on to my single-plank bridge.”

He Liudao: "What are you talking about, senior Thief Saint? It happened 25 years ago, and I think our Commander Lu has long forgotten about it. However, the chief eunuch's mansion is heavily guarded, senior... . . ”

Yan Zifei said: "Don't worry about it. Within three days, I will definitely get the account books you want from the Chief Eunuch's Mansion!"
