Chapter 41 Traces of the Thief
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Daier couldn't help but stop snarling and looked at Li Miao sitting opposite.
The guy in front of me has been turning over the half of the jade pendant in his hand since he came back from the fight. He doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Nothing."
Li Miao shook his head and said: "I was just wondering what kind of secret there is."
Lin Daier was startled and said: "This jade pendant is not complete, how can it have any secrets?"
Li Miao looked mysterious and said seriously: "It is because of its incompleteness that it has secrets. For example, it is a key clue to a certain treasure. At first, people from both sides fought for this jade pendant. In the end, this jade pendant
Divide it into two, and each party gets half."
"Or maybe there are clues to some martial arts secrets hidden behind this jade pendant. Once you get this martial arts secrets, you will dominate the entire martial arts world. No one dares not to follow..."
Lin Daier thought for a while, glanced at Li Miao, and decided to ignore it.
After all...it seems that it is not a very good thing to compete with a person who hallucinates hysteria.
So, Lin Daier continued to lower her head and talk.
Not to mention, the taste of these three fresh noodles is indeed very good. If you add the poached eggs made by the guy opposite, the taste will be even more perfect.
Li Miao looked at her suspiciously: "What did you mean by that glance just now? Are you slandering me in your mind?"
"Eat noodles."
Lin Dai'er didn't even raise her head and replied with two words, neither salty nor cool.
Seeing that only one-third of the noodles were left in her bowl, Li Miao said maliciously: "Since you like noodles so much, can I feed them to you tomorrow?"
Lin Dai'er finally raised her head and looked at him. She always felt that his words were inexplicably malicious, but no matter how carefully she read them, they were just ordinary words and she didn't find anything wrong.
After thinking for a moment, she said seriously: "I won't eat."
Li Miao: "..."
At the same time, Zhe Xinyi’s study room.
Listening to the bun-faced maid talking about what happened in Bishui Pavilion today, Zhe Xinyi put down the chopsticks in her hand, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise, and she asked: "Then do you still remember those four poems?"
"Miss, I was afraid that I had forgotten, so I specially recorded it."
With that said, the bun-faced maid took out a piece of paper and handed it to her young lady.
After looking at the paper for a while, Zhe Xinyi handed the paper back to the bun-faced maid and murmured: "I didn't expect that this person besides arithmetic also has such talent in poetry, maybe.
....."
......
In the next few days, everything that happened at the Bishui Pavilion Poetry Meeting that day spread throughout the capital at an extremely fast speed.
Of course, this is only within the same circle.
However, the name Li Sanshui also appeared in the field of vision of these people, and they learned that there was such a person who wrote four amazing poems in a short period of time.
So, some good people gave Li Sanshui such a nickname: Li Sishou.
Li Miao naturally didn't know that he had an extra nickname for no reason.
In the past few days, he has been busy with one thing, which is to inquire about the details of the woman and the little girl at the small noodle stall.
Because the noodle stall had been set up in that place for many years, many people knew the woman and the little girl.
Li Miao only paid a few copper coins to roughly figure out the identity of the woman and the little girl.
The woman's name is Qin Hong, and the little girl's name is He Cai'er. The mother and daughter have lived in Yuzi Lane for many years. They were originally a happy family of three, but five years ago, when He Cai'er was
When Qin Hong was about 18 years old, her husband suddenly contracted a serious illness and passed away soon after, leaving behind only a pair of poor orphans and widowed mother.
Qin Hong's husband, He Huan, was a watchman during his lifetime and inherited it from his old father. Qin Hong suddenly appeared in Yuzi Lane more than ten years ago. It is said that he came from Bazhou. Originally,
I wanted to go to my relatives in the capital, but I found that my relatives’ home no longer existed. I don’t know what happened or where they moved.
Later, for some unknown reason, Qin Hong and He Huan fell in love and became husband and wife.
Apart from these, Li Miao could no longer find any useful information.
Of course, because Li Miao went to the small noodle stall to eat a bowl of Sanxian noodles every noon these days, Li Miao has become quite familiar with the mother and son.
However, whenever Li Miao wanted to ask about the half piece of jade pendant or asked in a roundabout way, Qin Hong would always smile and say nothing or use something else to stop her, leaving Li Miao without any gain.
In desperation, Li Miao had to give up temporarily and wait for a good opportunity.
......
Before I knew it, another half month had passed.
A certain corner of the capital.
A soldier of the Imperial Guard came to Lingle, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and said respectfully: "Sir, we have locked the location of the thief."
"Okay!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Lingle's eyes.
A few days ago, the thief accidentally exposed a trace. Following this trace, after several days of hard work by the Imperial Guard, the thief's location was finally locked.
"Immediately mobilize two hundred guardsmen and surround it as quickly as possible!" Lingle ordered.
He doesn't dare to underestimate the thief now. He knows that those thieves are very powerful in martial arts. It was because he despised those thieves last time that the thief who was already caught in the trap ran away. This time he will not commit the same crime again.
Error!
"Yes! Sir!"
The imperial guard who received the order quickly retreated and conveyed Lingle's order.
A certain house in a remote area.
Chu Fangzheng swallowed the dried steamed bun in his hand with the water in the bowl, not knowing what he was thinking.
Since the last time he and Lin Daier failed to assassinate the current prince, he has been staying here to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers.
During this period, he also got the news that Lin Daier was safe and sound. He tried to contact Lin Daier, but he could not get in touch. He did not know where Lin Daier was hiding in the capital at this time, or whether she had already
Left the capital.
He also thought about leaving the dangerous place of the capital directly, but when he thought about his behavior of abandoning Lin Daier when he was assassinating the current prince, he could only give up this idea.
He knew that with Lin Daier's identity, if he went back in such a dejected state, there would most likely not be any good results, so he must do something before going back.
For example, he found Lin Daier in advance, apologized to her, prayed for her understanding, and told her that when he assassinated Prince Li Yan that day, he did not abandon her intentionally, but had no choice but to do so.
Or...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Chu Fang's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly put down the half dried steamed bun in his hand and looked outside with vigilance.
He has feelings...
