Chapter 58

In the night, Ruyifang is lit up as always.

But Wei Dong's family didn't chisel wood, and shopkeeper Lu didn't look at the account books.

The two sat among a pile of wooden tools, drinking tea and eating salted beans.

"Tell me, is this kid okay?" Shopkeeper Lu said.

"It's a bit of a skill to be able to live to this day." Dongjia Wei said, chewing beans.

"Old Cao has checked the mansion newspapers over the past few years, and the thief has committed many crimes." Shopkeeper Lu said, "It's very cruel and cunning, and it's really difficult to deal with."

"That Mo Xia has been staring at this thief for so many years, and he knows better than anyone else whether he can deal with it well or not." Wei Dongjia said, glaring at shopkeeper Lu, "If he can kill him, he will kill him. If he can't, he will die. fear, we don't care about his life or death, take care of the aftermath, and do our best, this is a very common thing, what are you worrying about all night?"

Shopkeeper Lu was startled, and smiled: "That's right, it's a very common thing, why did I make such a fuss."

Because it's a common thing and hasn't been seen for many years.

From now on, it will be common.

Shopkeeper Lu took a sip of tea, thought of something and asked, "Is Miss Qixing coming over tonight?"

Wei Dongjia said: "I asked old Wu's family to tell her not to come here."

Shopkeeper Lu nodded: "Yes, don't come out, who knows when and where to do it, even if Lao Cao is watching in the yamen, and the guards will search randomly when they are arrested, it will be bad if they run into it. The house is safe."

Wei Dong's family drank the tea, stood up shaking the cart: "Okay, let's get up and work."

Shopkeeper Lu sat still, squeezed the salted beans with one hand, and picked up the account book with the other: "Get up, I don't need it, I can work while sitting, not as hard as you carpenters."

Wei Dongjia let out a sound, and shook the wheelbarrow to get the saw.

The sound of wood saws and talking and laughing made the night workshop as lively as ever.

The lights were still on in the small courtyard of Qixing's house, and the embroidered figure of a woman was reflected on the window sills, as before, there was only one figure.

But that figure is still Aokiji practicing embroidery, and Qixing is not at home.

In the dark city, there are figures passing by on the high and low roofs, occasionally stopping on the flying eaves, like a stone beast, overlooking the night city.

The night is deep, but even in the high-gate deep house, it is not silent. Insects chirp, night birds murmur, and the servants who watch the night yawn and kick past, and the wind blows the lanterns and shakes them.

A figure flashed past in the shadow of the lamp.

The inspecting servant was startled, and held up a lantern to shine a light on it, only the flickering shadows of the lanterns and the elongated shadows of flowers and trees could be seen.

"Who is there?" said a servant, "Cat."

"Miss likes cats and has a new black cat," another servant said.

"Black cat? It's too unlucky." The previous servant whispered, "Why did the master let the lady keep this?"

"Miss is spoiled and spoiled, she can get whatever she wants, master can't control it."

The servants continued to move forward while discussing in low voices.

The wind blows the flowers and trees swaying, and gradually a figure appears. The figure seems to hesitate, then turns and goes in another direction.

While he was leaving, a prostrate person on the roof got up, and he saw that the direction that the figure was running towards was a small building.

It should be the place where the spoiled lady who went to the gold and silver shop to buy a lot of things is.

Damn it, the people on the roof frowned in the night, this thief always robbed the money first, and then killed, so he wanted to wait for him to steal the money, so that he could be regarded as having evidence to catch the thief on the spot.

But now the thief didn't steal first, but murdered.

Then you can't wait.

Never let him hurt that lady.

The figure on the roof flew down and chased after him. As soon as he got close to the small building, he saw that the thief had already climbed up to the second floor like a gecko, and his hand was grabbing the window——

The man who followed him didn't hesitate any more, swung the beggar's stick in his hand, drew out his long sword, stepped on the rockery in the garden, jumped up, and stabbed at the thief.

The sound of breaking wind came from the ear, the corner of the man's eyes flashed coldly, he murmured that he was not good, he turned around in the air, and a dart passed by his ear.

With a ding, his long sword also stabbed the figure on the window, and the figure flew up lightly.

It turned out to be just a piece of clothing, hung on the window sill by a branch.

The man reached out and grabbed the window sill.

"Meng Xichang!" A sinister voice came from above his head, "You really linger."

The man watched a figure appear on the roof, his eyes gleaming fiercely in the dark night.

"I came here today, not for money or sex, but for you." The voice said fiercely, "Today is your death day!"

No wonder it was customary for the thief to stay in one place for at least three days before attacking, and the next day he was about to commit murder, so it turned out that he was trying to trap and kill him.

So what, could he, Chief Meng Xi, be afraid?
"That's right, Shi Feng, today is your death day." He let out a low voice, jumped up and swung his sword.

The collision of weapons was accompanied by the sound of cracking roof tiles.

The two fought against each other on the roof, and the swords collided with sparks in the dark night.

Meng Xi's long sword moved with him at an extremely fast speed, but a long whip in Shi Feng's hand was as nimble as a snake, and swung a barrier around his body, preventing the long sword from getting close.

Shi Feng also cursed in a low voice.

"Meng Xichang, what good is it if you kill me, everyone is a thief."

"What are you doing for the sky and eliminating harm for the people? You Momen are the remnants of the rebellion against King Jin."

"I didn't go to the government to sue you, what are you doing after me!"

Without saying a word, without distraction, Meng Xichang swung his sword like the wind, and with a clang, the long whip in Shi Feng's hand was knocked away, and the long sword slid across Shi Feng's face, leaving a bloodstain.

"You mad dog." Shi Feng roared angrily, and he staggered back, the roof tiles shattered heavily.

The people in the small building were not disturbed yet, but the cats were startled and screamed.

Meng Xi's long sword was as swift as the wind, and it went straight to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng fell back, the long sword deflected and brushed against his neck, piercing his shoulder, and he let out a scream.

Meng Xichang took another step forward, intending to stab the long sword in and cut his throat, but at this moment, Shi Feng raised his hand, and a white powder hit him.

This thief carries drug and poison powder with him!
Meng Xichang backed away, withdrew his hands, and Shi Feng, who had been stabbed, took the opportunity to break free. He jumped down, and at the same time he raised his hand again. With a sharp sound, the fireworks exploded in the night sky.

"Come here—" Shi Feng hissed, "Catch the thief—"

The people in the small building were finally alarmed, the scream of the woman overwhelmed the meowing of the cat, the footsteps in the courtyard were chaotic, and the servants who were watching the night also rushed over.

"Someone-"

"There is a thief—"

The noise was like fireworks bursting, spreading from this house to the neighbors to the city.

Meng Xichang looked at the courtyard, and the fallen stone wind had disappeared.

pity!He ran away this time, and it will be even more difficult to catch next time. Meng Xichang held his long sword and looked at the hustle and bustle of the night, but he couldn't chase him down anymore, and he couldn't be caught. He was also a thief, and Capturing him would also spell trouble for Momon.

Doing what he can, without hesitation, he turned and ran to the other side of the night without hesitation.

In the alley in the dark night, there was a rapid bird song, and with the bird song, the figure of a little beggar came out.

"This way." He whispered, running forward at the same time.

Meng Xichang followed him quickly, and the two quickly turned into a house.

At the same time as they disappeared, the sound of horseshoes and footsteps sounded in the street, and the guards of the city galloped past holding torches.

But this was an instant uproar, and it didn't spread to the entire city immediately.

Fire and thieves are common things in the city, and many people are still sleeping peacefully.

The alley at the south corner of the city was quiet, a figure walked without haste, his steps were light and soundless, but after a few steps he stopped, leaned against the wall, pressed his shoulder, and let out a low hiss of pain.

"Meng Xi is such a mad dog." He gritted his teeth and said, looking down at his shoulder, the blood had already stained his clothes.

But luckily no harm was done.

Shi Feng reached out and pressed the wound, it doesn't matter, he is still alive, so, just wait, Meng Xi is definitely dead!

Although it hasn't been long since he came to Xucheng, he also inquired about it and knew that the new magistrate loves to be the master of Qingtian, not a timid and mediocre person, so he has already drawn the portrait of Meng Xichang in advance and wrote it down In order to file a letter of notice, just in case he couldn't kill it with his own hands, he borrowed the hand of the government.

Now he is going to give merit to the magistrate.

"Good thieves don't do it." Shi Feng sneered, "Then you go to die."

Thinking of this, the pain of the wound seemed to have eased, Shi Feng stood up straight and continued to walk forward, but suddenly he stopped again.

A shadow appeared at the entrance of the alley, like a ghost.

The night was dim, if it wasn't for the fluttering clothes, he wouldn't have noticed.

Of course it's human, Shi Feng never believed in ghosts, otherwise why didn't the people he killed come to him for revenge?
As soon as he stopped, the flames lit up, and the fire twig was lit in the man's hand, showing her appearance.

It's a woman!

Not very old.

It looks pretty long.

A few thoughts flashed by, and Chief Meng Xi swallowed back the voice he was about to shout to startle the others.

"Little lady, why are you alone?" He said in a panicked voice, "Go home quickly, there are thieves in the city, you can see that I am injured."

The woman looked at him and smiled: "I know, I just came to see the thief."

Shi Feng paused, put away his disguise, and with unfriendly eyes, he knew that the woman who appeared in the middle of the night was not a good person.

"What? Are you an accomplice of the thief?" He asked hoarsely.

Meng Xichang actually has accomplices?Isn't Momen gone?That's why he deliberately trapped and killed Chief Meng Xi.

The woman didn't speak, just stepped forward.

What if it's an accomplice?Shi Feng squinted his eyes, it seemed that there was really no one else, so he found a woman to be his accomplice.

With a soft and weak appearance, it can be seen that he has no kung fu.

"What do you want?" Shi Feng's voice was a little flustered, and he stepped back pressing his shoulders, "I'm injured, you, you let me go."

His voice and actions were timid, but his eyes were shining fiercely under the cover of night.

It's so easy to kill a woman.

They are delicate and soft-hearted.

After all, a man has great strength. Although he has kung fu, he will inevitably have trouble when he meets an unwanted life.

He still cherishes himself very much and is reluctant to get hurt.

That's why I prefer to kill women, or the old, weak, sick and disabled. These people are easy to kill and fun to torture.

Although he has no weapons at this moment, it is not a problem to kill this slender woman.

Shi Feng looked at the woman who was coming, her face was illuminated by the flames, she was small and white, like a piece of thin paper.

"Don't come here." He shouted in a trembling voice, "I don't dare anymore, just let it go—"

As he spoke, he slowly bent his knees, as if he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.

His hands slowly stretched out like eagle claws.

What he said in his heart was to come more, come more, and then he pounced——

Before Shi Feng's figure moved, a cold light flashed, and the woman who was still a few steps away came in front of him and raised her hand.

So fast--

how so fastShi Feng subconsciously wanted to hide back, but the thought flashed, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

The dimly lit fire twigs illuminated his round eyes, which were full of disbelief, horror, and pain.

He raised his hands like eagle claws, and they didn't land on other people's necks, but on his own.

Blood burst out, passed through the fingers, and fell to the skirt of the clothes.

"Don't, come, come—" Shi Feng staggered out the last words with the rest of his breath.

Sincerely this time.

After saying this, the man fell forward and remained motionless.

The fire in the alley was also extinguished at this time, and the night was thick.
