Ever since King Yong was executed fifteen years ago, Wei Jing has been very peaceful.

Especially in recent years, although we dare not say that we do not pick up lost items on the streets at night, the people in the capital basically do not have to worry about food and clothing, and theft of chickens and dogs rarely occurs.

However, just after mid-March, several thefts occurred in the south of the city.

The government office received reports from the people one after another. The prefect quickly sent out a large number of detectives to investigate, and a large number of suspects were quickly arrested.

Even so, people in the south of the city are still panicked. Many shops have increased their manpower for night duty, and some wealthy households have hired nurses who are proficient in martial arts at high prices.

But for Xiao Bi, who was busy training soldiers all day long and hadn't wandered around the streets for a long time, these things were too far away from her.

On this day, she still left the Duke's Mansion before the hour came.

As soon as she left Xinyi Square, she heard someone calling her from the alley.

"Master Jiu, Master Jiu——"

Xiao Bi grabbed the horse and walked away, and saw a thin man running out of the alley and kneeling in front of her horse with a thud.

"Tian Shu?" Seeing his appearance clearly, Xiao Bi was very surprised: "You are not at home so early in the morning, why are you here doing this?"

Tian Shu kowtowed heavily: "Master Jiu, there have been frequent thefts in the south of the city recently. The government has arrested a large number of suspects. Several of the villain's brothers have also been arrested. Please help the villain."

Xiao Bi thought for a while and then said: "Did your brothers also commit crimes this time?"

"Absolutely not." Tian Shu pointed to the sky and swore: "Although the villain and his brothers did not do their jobs properly in the past, they never did those sneaky things.

Now that I have become Master Jiu, I have something to do every day, so why would I do the things that are waiting for me next time?

It’s all because the villains had a bad reputation in the past and offended many people, so..."

Xiao Bi said: "You don't have to worry, tell me the names of those people first.

If they really have nothing to do with this theft, I guarantee that they will remain unscathed.

If their hands and feet are not clean and the government gets the real evidence, you will not be able to get away with it!"

"Yes, yes..." Tian Shu quickly stood up, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Bi with both hands.

Xiao Bi took the paper, glanced at it casually, folded it and stuffed it into her sleeve: "You go back and wait for the news, I'll leave first."

"Yes, I thank you Jiuye." Tian Shu quickly moved out of the way.

Xiao Bi kicked the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward.

Although he had threatened Tian Shu a few times, Xiao Bi still believed his words.

Although Tian Shu and his brothers are common people, their family background is not bad.

A few of them had been idle since childhood, following some dandy boys to eat, drink and have fun. When they ran out of money, they would go to their parents, brothers and sisters for begging, and they would steal wherever there was need.

Last time, he fell into someone else's trap and lost a lot of money. Even though he secretly exchanged Zhang Qiyong's sword, the purpose was not to steal the sword and sell it, but to take revenge on his brother-in-law.

Although the nature is equally bad, things should be treated as one and the same, and they cannot allow others to pour dirty water on them.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Bi arrived at the primary school.

Just like the past ten days, the team members still started practicing boxing early, except that there was one less person in the Chilin team.

Xiao Bi looked at it carefully and saw that the Chilin team only had nineteen people, and the missing person was Hua Qinghan.

"Vice Captain Cao." She called from the nearest spot.

Cao Kun stopped in a hurry and trotted forward: "What are your orders, Captain Xiao?"

"What's going on with Hua Qinghan?"

"Back to Captain Xiao, Hua Qinghan's servant just came to hand him a note of leave."

"He is sick?"

"I'm not sick. It's Mr. Sun from the prefect's Yamen who went to Wenyuanhou's mansion early this morning to invite him away. He said that there was an old case that required Hua Shizi to identify a prisoner."

"You come back to the team."

"Yes." Cao Kun clasped his fists and returned to the team.

Xiao Bi's mind was a little confused.

Tian Shu told her not long ago that the prefect's Yamen was handling a theft case in the south of the city these days.

In other words, 80% of the old cases that Mr. Sun was referring to were related to theft.

But... there can actually be a connection between people like Hua Qinghan and the theft case?

After wandering absent-mindedly for half an hour, a guard from the small school field came to report: "Captain Xiao, Mr. Sun from the prefect's Yamen is here to see you."

Xiao Bi asked doubtfully: "What did you say?"

The guard said: "Captain Sun only said that he wanted to see the princess."

Xiao Bi didn't bother to wait for him to pass the message, and strode towards the outside of the elementary school.

Not long after, she saw Capt. Sun waiting outside.

"As for your humble position, please see the princess." Sun Bao saluted with his fists clasped in his head.

Xiao Bi raised her hand and said: "There is no need to be polite, Mr. Sun. If you have something to do, please speak up."

Captain Sun said: "Recently, there have been frequent thefts in the south of the city, and the lowly officials and others were ordered by the magistrate to hunt down the suspects.

After some interrogation, a suspect yesterday confessed that he had participated in the kidnapping of Wenyuan Houfu's Hua Shizi seven years ago.

Those in humble positions did not dare to excel in their profession, so early this morning I asked Hua Shizi to go to the government office to identify the suspect.

But Prince Hua had just recognized him for a long time, but he said he was so frightened that he couldn't remember the faces of the kidnappers.

I heard that you were the one who repelled the kidnappers, so I boldly asked you to go to the government office to help me."

Xiao Bi said: "So it's because of this... Let's leave quickly."

Captain Sun didn't expect that the noble Princess Yiyang would be so easy to talk to, so he hurriedly said: "Princess Princess, please."

The two of them got on their horses and went to the prefect's Yamen together.

In the prefect's Yamen, the prefect Liu put down the case in his hands and spoke to Hua Qinghan in person.

The official position under the emperor's feet is the most difficult to be.

A fourth-grade prefect like Mr. Liu would definitely be the number one figure in the local area.

But being a magistrate in a capital city where there are so many noble people is not much different from being a doormat.

Especially in the mansions of the great nobles that have occupied the capital for decades, dandies appear one after another.

Today you are teasing civilian girls, tomorrow you are getting into fights, and the day after tomorrow you are drinking and getting into trouble...

Arrest people according to the law, and all kinds of noble people will come to your door immediately.

Those who intercede, threaten, and send money are simply a headache.

If you ignore it, those brave people will come looking for you.

If you are not careful, your reputation will be ruined.

However, he was still willing to make friends with people like Hua Shizi from Wenyuanhou Mansion.

He has a noble family background, is talented, handsome, has good character, speaks elegantly, and is courteous.

Mr. Liu wishes he could use all the most beautiful words in the world on each other.

If all the noble disciples in the capital were at this level, he would laugh out of his dreams.

Speaking of which, this was Hua Qinghan's first time entering the prefect's Yamen.

Wenyuanhou's mansion has a small population and strict family education. The few members of the Hua family have also kept to themselves. No one has committed any crime in the past twenty years, and they have never had to deal with the prefect's Yamen.

Early this morning, Mr. Sun came looking for him, and the whole family was shocked.
