Chapter 414 Coincidentally seeing thieves
In the center of Shuitang Village is a huge old tree. Not far away from the tree is the place where Mo Xiang placed the Tang Seal.
Li Bu came here secretly, just to see if the Xiangtang Seal was still there and to confirm whether it was true or not. Otherwise, if he had completed all three things, wouldn't it be in vain?
Slowly approaching here, two figures suddenly appeared in front of me. When I looked up, they were Yu Hei and Yu Bai.
"Uh! You are here too! What a coincidence!" Li Bu smiled and waved his hand.
Yuhei sighed and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Li Bu looked around, and then asked the same question: "What else do I want to ask you? Do you plan to secretly exchange for the real Xiangtang Seal? Yuhei, don't think that I don't know what you want to do?"
Yuhei frowned when he heard this, while Yubai was a little confused: "What to do? What do you want to do?"
Yubai asked Yuhei, but Yuhei did not answer him, but directly answered Li Bu: "We were ordered to guard here, otherwise do you think Mo Xiang would feel at ease leaving the Xiangtang Seal here?"
Li Bu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want to go in and have a look!"
Yuhei said: "Go ahead! Even if you take it away, we won't care about it."
Li Bu sneered: "Don't worry, I won't take it away before the matter is completed."
After saying that, Li Bu pushed the door open and walked in. As the door closed, Yuheiyubai disappeared in the blink of an eye. This was the necessary strength for the emperor's personal bodyguards.
Li pulled open the false wall, lifted the cloth, and looked at the Xiangtang Seal inside. It was real and had no trace of being tampered with at all.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this time Mo Xiang was determined to hand over the Xiangtang Seal to him, but Li Bu just couldn't figure out why.
Things happened so suddenly. Even the tasks assigned to him by Mo Xiang, although not simple, were still trivial matters among the people. This was not in line with the terms of exchange at this time, so there were problems that he couldn't understand.
After walking out of the hut, Li Bu left. There was basically nothing going on now. As long as Han Qing completed the planting, or Li Bu caught the thief, then the matter would be finished.
Li Bu was very bad at catching thieves, because without any clues or signs, catching someone was basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But if we don't catch him, as Mo Xiang said, wouldn't the first thing he did by stealing that hundred taels of silver be in vain?
It's still far from the time when Han Qing planted something. If you want to go back quickly, the only way is to catch the thief. Otherwise, something will happen sooner or later.
After finding Zhou Lu, Li Bu asked several families who had lost things, and then walked straight over.
It's a pity that the first household met an "acquaintance".
At this moment, the person in front of Li Bu was none other than the villager who took the lead last night. He held a torch and blocked the man at the door of Qiulan.
"Yo? Is that you? What are you doing here?" The man asked immediately when he saw the person coming.
Li Bu replied: "I heard that there have been thieves here. What have they lost? Do you have any clues that you can provide me with?"
The man sneered, and then said with great seriousness: "Do you have the nerve to ask me? Aren't you? You go out early and come back late, you are a sneaky guy. All the villagers have said that they have never seen you. What on earth are you doing?"
Where did it come from?"
Li Bu sighed: "I have only one purpose here, and that is to ask for some clues so that I can find this thief and retrieve the things you lost."
The man smiled: "Don't say such things, little brother, no one is willing to provoke thieves for anyone, you have been exposed."
Li Bu was helpless and said that he and the guy in front of him were not of the same mind and could not talk to each other at all.
After leaving this place, Li Bu planned to go to the second house to ask, but unfortunately the man ran out with farm tools, stood in front of Li Bu and shouted: "Here comes someone! A thief has appeared at my place.
I caught it."
As the voice shouted, a group of people ran out with farm tools and surrounded Li Bu.
Li Bu was stunned: "I said you were boring, weren't you? You said I was a thief, do you have any evidence?"
The man shouted: "What you just said can prove that you are a thief. Don't try to lie to me. No one will escape under my eyes, especially the bad guys."
As this sentence ended, the person next to the man asked: "Who is this? A thief? Are you sure?"
The man replied: "No problem, it's him. When I told him he was a thief, he was about to run away. Fortunately, I caught him. My eyes are the most accurate. I have never missed a person."
."
Li Bu narrowed his eyes: "That may disappoint you. You really miscalculated this time. I am really not a thief, but I am looking for and arresting thieves."
The man laughed: "Stop telling lies, we will send you to Lord Shuitang'an now, you should tell him then!"
Li Bu laughed when he heard this: "Then you can come back happily with the money? Are you betraying the only person in the village who is willing to help you just for the gold and silver?"
The man sneered: "Do you think we need to believe what you say?"
Li Bu sighed: "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but I can tell you clearly that I will not go with you."
After saying this, Li Bu directly supported the crack in the wall beside him, jumped up with all his strength, and ran away along the roof.
The man frowned and looked at Li Bu's actions. Then he spoke and followed the people around him with great certainty: "Now you believe it! Anyone with such skills can't be blamed even if he is not a thief."
With so many people, if you can't catch one person, they will definitely be laughed out of their mouths if you tell them, but you can't blame them. After all, some people also want to be sure. Otherwise, it will be a dilemma whether to arrest or not to arrest.
Incomparably, he naturally let Li Bu go.
If everyone's belief was to catch Li Bu, Li Bu might not be able to just run away.
After successfully getting rid of these people, Li Bu returned to Mo Xiang's house. It seemed that it was impossible to question each household.
Li Bu guessed that the people in the stolen homes had all known Li Bu just now. The places provided by Zhou Lu were only a few families, and they all lived in the same area. Therefore, this method was passed by.
To catch the thief, we have to think of other ways.
Han Qing was not in the vegetable garden at this time. Li Bu walked over curiously and looked at the fruits being taken care of again. He had to admire Han Qing's patience.
Just when Li Bu was fascinated by the observation, Lei Nao's vigilant Guang Tan automatically made a prediction. Li Bu sensed that there seemed to be a person on the back wall outside the courtyard. This person had good qinggong and walked on the roadside almost like a cat at night. There was basically no
Sound is a feeling originating from nature. If it weren't for the help of Thunder Brain, this person might have become "invisible".
Li Bu frowned and walked over with the same tiptoe. Then he looked out through a small gap in the back window of Mo Xiang's house. There was indeed a person here.
The man was holding a piece of paper and a brush in his hand, and he seemed to be drawing something roughly. Li Bu couldn't see it, but the black strokes printed on the back of the paper could be roughly seen as a map. After careful analysis,
Exactly what it looks like in the yard.
