There were fewer and fewer people on the street. Xie Feng waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the house, so he stopped waiting and prepared to go back to the hotel to find out where Yi An was. After all, business matters were more important. We should wait until later to talk about criminal gangs.

Bar.

As soon as he stood up from the stone slab he was sitting on, he noticed a soft sound coming from the door of the room opposite. Xie Feng quickly hid aside and paid attention to the situation in the room.

The door was opened, and under the dim moonlight, a short figure could be seen walking out of the house. It must be the child from before. After the child went out, he closed the door and left. Xie Fengliu

After observing the place for a while, no one else came out and there was no other movement in the room. It should be safe, so Xie Feng secretly followed the child again.

It is now about seven or eight o'clock in the evening. There are no street lights in this era, and the entire Geneva seems dark, as if it has been swallowed up by darkness. Only with the dim moonlight can we barely see the outline of the surrounding things.

It's so dark, so there aren't many pedestrians on the street. People in this era either stay at home or indulge in pubs. In an era when night life was not rich, no one would still walk on the street at night.

But at this moment, there were two such people.

On the deserted dark street, the child walked freely in front, seemingly not worried about robbers blocking the road. Xie Feng, on the other hand, followed quietly, paying attention to the child not far ahead.

every move.

After walking for a while, the child came to a house and knocked on the door.

Is there any other meeting place? Xie Feng thought to himself, and hid aside to pay attention.

Soon the door was opened, and a little girl's head popped out from the door, saying happily: "Brother, you are back!"

The child outside the door smiled and nodded, and walked into the house.

After the door was closed, Xie Feng immediately sneaked forward, turned to the window of the house, and secretly peeked over.

There was only one candle lit in the room, but the room itself was not big, so it did not appear particularly dark.

The house is only about 10 square meters, but because there is not much stuff, it seems empty. In the entire house, there is a long pile of straw spread flatly on the ground next to the wall, covered with several large rags, which is probably a big bed.

There was a haggard middle-aged woman lying on the bed. The middle-aged woman's eyes looked a little tired, as if the child had disturbed her dream when she came in. The middle-aged woman said, "Jenas, are you back?" That's Jena.

Si's child replied kindly: "Yes, Mom." After saying that, he sat next to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman stretched out her hands and touched Janas beside her, and said: "It's already very late now, right?"

"I heard Pasha lighting candles a long time ago." This middle-aged woman is actually blind. Janas said: "Well, I have a lot of work today, and Uncle Tom asked me to work overtime - he has already

You gave me overtime pay." After saying that, he took out two copper coins from his arms and handed them to the little girl next to him: "Pasha, this is my wages for today. Remember to buy some delicious food for mom tomorrow." Then.

The girl named Pasha happily took the money handed over by Janas and nodded repeatedly. The middle-aged woman sighed and said, "Janas, since you said you met Uncle Tom and worked with him, why don't you come back?"

The time at home is getting later day by day, mom, be careful you are exhausted..." Janus smiled and said: "No, mom. What I do is some simple work, very easy, but it is more complicated and requires a lot of work.

Just give me more time." The middle-aged woman scolded: "You said it was easy and easy. I remember that you were injured several times when you came back. You should ask your Uncle Tom to give you some easy work, otherwise...

Just stop working. Mom can still..." Janas quickly interrupted: "Mom, stop talking. You are not in good health. What will our family eat if I don't work? Besides, I really work.

It's very easy. Those few injuries were just because I accidentally fell down, and it really has nothing to do with work." The middle-aged woman sighed again and said: "Sigh... It's a pity that I can't see anything, otherwise I wouldn't have to do it.

It’s too hard for you to go to work at such a young age.” Janas smiled and said: “Mom, I am already sixteen years old. I am not young anymore. I should have worked a long time ago.” Xie Feng smacked his tongue at the window: sixteen

Years old? The height seems to be less than thirteen. Then I think about the fact that poor people cannot keep up with nutrition, so it is normal for them not to grow taller.

The middle-aged woman continued: "I almost forgot, have you eaten? Pasha, get some for brother..." Janas said: "I have already eaten, mom. The food for work is very good, I also brought it

Order it back." After saying that, he took out the flat bread that he had chewed a few times from his arms, handed it to Pasha, and said, "I'll make this for your breakfast tomorrow." Pasha took the bread and said happily: "Thank you, brother.

"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Janas muttered: "It's so late, who is it?" Then he got up and walked to the door and opened it.

The door was opened, and it was Xie Feng who appeared outside.

Janas only took one look, and was so frightened that his mouth opened wide. It was almost big enough to hold three eggs. Behind Janas, Pasha saw Xie Feng at the door and asked, "Brother, who is this?"

ah?"

At the door, Xie Feng stood at the door. A hint of indifference appeared on his face, staring at Janas in front of him.

Janas was so anxious that he almost burst into tears. He cast a pleading look at Xie Feng and quietly looked behind him, begging Xie Feng not to have an attack on the spot.

Xie Feng looked at the mother and daughter behind Janas, and tried his best to say to Janas in a kind tone: "Are you Janas? Uncle Tom said that he had some trouble at work and asked you to come over and help.

, overtime pay will still be calculated.”

Janas nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you now."

The middle-aged woman behind said: "Jenas, it's so late..."

Janas said: "Mom, don't worry, I won't be there for a long time. Maybe it's because I couldn't find Uncle Tom's tools after I packed them up - Uncle Tom really asked me to get off work, and he is still working overtime -

-Pasha, take care of mom, I’ll be back in a minute.”

After saying that, he followed Xie Feng out without looking back. Janas followed Xie Feng all the way, knowing that he would never escape this time.

Xie Feng walked to a relatively remote corner, stopped and turned around. Janas was following him less than 5 meters behind him. Xie Feng took advantage of the moonlight to look at Janas and said, "You know mom and sister

Would you be very sad if you knew you were a thief?" Under the moonlight, Xie Feng could see Janus nodding gently.

Xie Feng continued: "But you still did it."

Janas said softly: "A person like me knows nothing. There is no job for a person like me - and I need money to support my family. What can I do?"

Xie Feng sneered and said: "You know nothing? Aren't you very nimble? Aren't you very good at stealing? If I hadn't slept very lightly at the time, I probably wouldn't have known that someone had touched me randomly."

Janas didn't speak for a long time, and then he said a little aggrievedly: "Isn't it true that I didn't steal anything from you..."

Xie Feng lowered his face and said: "This is because I didn't put anything on me at that time. If I had a bag of coins with me at that time, do you dare to tell me that you wouldn't take them away - at least not all of them?"

Janas was speechless again. Xie Feng was usually very eloquent, and with a little "persuasion" skill bonus, it was very easy to make a young man speechless.

After a long time, Janas spoke again: "As you can see, my family is very poor..."

Xie Feng said: "Poverty is not a reason for committing crimes. Does it mean that if someone is born with a cruel personality, he can kill people at will?"

Janas was speechless again. Then he said: "Now that things have happened, what should I do...Don't arrest me and hand me over to the security guard. Please, my mother still has to rely on me to support her..."

Xie Feng said: "Haha, support? You continue to steal other people's things and use the stolen money to support your kind mother?"

Janas was forced to burst into tears by Xie Feng's tone.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xie Feng said: "I know you are not alone, there is a gang behind you - the house you went to at dusk. How do you know them and how much do you know about them? Tell me honestly.

Come out and I can consider letting you go."

When Janas heard that Xie Feng was willing to let him go, his eyes suddenly shone. After thinking for a long time, he said: "About half a year ago... I looked for a job everywhere, but no one wanted me. Finally, I walked away from a blacksmith shop in despair.

After I came out, a middle-aged man stopped me. He called himself Tom and said he was willing to give me a job... Then I started to learn stealing skills from Uncle Tom..."

Xie Feng thought to himself: It turns out there really is a guy named Uncle Tom.

Janus continued: "In addition to me, there are many people around my age who are also 'working' under Uncle Tom. I don't know how many people exactly, but every time there is a 'big deal', we need to form a team."

At that time, the teammates assigned to me by Uncle Tom all had unfamiliar faces, and we rarely had contact with each other - Uncle Tom prohibited us from communicating in private."

Xie Feng frowned and said, "Who is that Uncle Tom? Does he have any other accomplices?"

Janas said: "I don't know too well. Uncle Tom taught each of us the stealing skills step by step. I have never seen him have other companions. And every time we parted, Uncle Tom would make an appointment with us for the next time."

During the meeting time, we are usually not allowed to go to the meeting place. We don’t know who he usually associates with. But..."

Xie Feng said: "But what?"

Janas said: "One time when I was reporting the 'results' at the 'joint point', there was a knock on the door, and a strange man came. Judging from the man's clothes, he seemed to have some identity, at least he was not ordinary.

Civilians. And…”

Xie Feng said: "And what?"

Janas said: "Uncle Tom once told you not to attack people from the Calle family when you are hunting on the street. I guess there is some relationship between them."

Xie Feng said in surprise: "The Kale family? How many Kale families are there in Rivadin?"

Janas said: "Just one...what?"

The Kalie family! The Kalie family who imprisoned Yi An! I didn’t expect that this family had colluded with these criminals, and maybe these criminals themselves were members of the Kalie family. This matter seems to be complicated again.

Xie Feng asked: "How much do you know about the Kale family?"

Janas said: "The Kale family has existed for many years. It used to be one of the top nobles in the entire Kingdom of Virginia. However, in recent generations, the family members have gradually become weaker, and their military capabilities are not as strong as before. Seeing that the territory is

They were repeatedly plundered by bandits and enemy soldiers, but their own family members failed to rescue them. Therefore, in the previous generation, the territory of the Kale family was reclaimed by the kingdom. Although the territory was reclaimed, although the family members were dissatisfied, they could not disobey the king's orders.

Secondly, I really don’t have the ability to protect the territory, so I just let it go. Because of this, the Kale family began to decline, and now they are only reduced to a small nobleman without a territory. It is estimated that in a few generations, even the nobles will not be able to protect their territory.

No. But despite the decline of the family, the people of the Kale family are still relatively arrogant. It is said that a few days ago, a retired soldier wanted to pursue the young lady of the family, but he was rejected by the family and imprisoned..."

When Xie Feng heard this, he knew that he was talking about Yi An, so that was correct.

Xie Feng continued: "Do you know where the imprisoned person is?"

When Janas heard this, he was surprised and said: "You...you want to..."

Xie Feng said: "I came to Rivadin just to save that man. If you are willing to help me, not only will I not tell your family about your past, I may also be able to help you find a serious job and support your family...

…And, if you do well, I can reward you with a sum of money. If you have a legitimate job, you won’t have to deceive your family anymore.”

Janas's eyes started to light up, but then dimmed, and he said: "Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with the Calle family...I am afraid I can't help you with my ability..."

Xie Feng asked: "Can you climb over the wall?"

Janas nodded and said, "I can do it at the age of six."

Xie Feng continued to ask: "Can you pick a lock?"

Janas started to look a little proud and said, "What I'm best at is opening locks." As he said that, he raised a large string of wires of different thicknesses hanging on his waist.
