Shen Yi was a little curious: "Master Miao, since you are chasing the lone thief who broke into the palace that night and stole the secret book, how come you didn't pursue him all the way to Pingyang City and then stopped chasing him?
Could it be that this lone thief escaped here and disappeared, and you can't track him down without his trace?
Or do you already know the whereabouts or hiding place of this lone thief, but there may be others behind him, so you plan to wait here? "
Shen Yi already knew that Miao Xian and the others had been here in Pingyang City for a while. Since Miao Xian and the others were hunting down a lone thief who broke into the palace at night and stole the secret book, how could they stay in Pingyang City without moving?
"Young Shaoxia Shen, you are indeed an elite disciple trained by a first-class sect like Wutong Temple. You are really perceptive and smart, which is admirable!
You guessed it right, we are standing still here, we do have other plans! "
Seeing that Shen Yi had guessed the purpose of his group's stay, Miao Xian did not hide it and admitted it openly.
"To be honest, after we followed the trail of the lone thief to Pingyang City half a month ago, we have already found some basic traces of this person.
The reason why he was not arrested immediately was because it was discovered that this person broke into the palace the night before and stole the secret book. It was not his intention, but someone behind the scenes.
Moreover, the background of the people who ordered him to do this was very complicated, and there were even demonic people involved behind them.
In fact, I am solely responsible for hunting down the thief who broke into the palace at night and stole the treasure.
This time Master Zhong and I came to Pingyang City by chance. Master Zhong came to Pingyang City because he was following another matter.
And coincidentally, after we all came to Pingyang City, we discovered that the things we were responsible for were actually related to each other.
That's why I decided to stay put, wait and see what happens, and wait until everything comes to light before taking action.
After all, we already know the details of the person who broke into the palace that night and stole the secret book, and we also know that catching him and bringing him to justice will be a piece of cake.
Naturally, there is no fear of him running away, and he can be captured at any time.
It's just that the conspiracy behind the palace treasure theft is of great importance and extraordinary, so you can't be careless in order to avoid alerting the enemy!
Especially the demon Lu Xinglie, the "blood-clad soul hunter" whom Mr. Zhong has been tracking down before, came to Pingyang City before.
It's just that after being besieged outside Pingyang City and fleeing into the city, he suddenly appeared briefly and disappeared without a trace. This is even more unreasonable for us, Shenzamen, to ignore it! "
Hearing what Miao Xian said was so serious, Shen Yi was not only curious.
He opened his mouth and asked: "Master Miao, listening to what you say, is it possible that the thief you are chasing who stole the palace treasure is related to the big devil Lu Xinglie?"
Queyue Mountain Wutong Temple is one of the four major sword sects of the Eastern Qi Dynasty and a mainstay of the righteous path. Of course he is concerned about the affairs of the demonic path and demons.
Miao Xian said: "We are not sure yet whether it is really related!
However, the person who is hiding this palace treasure thief is closely related to the devil! "
Shen Yi asked: "I wonder if it would be convenient for Master Miao to tell me who the one-legged thief you are trying to capture is?"
Miao Xian glanced at everyone present, pondered for a moment, and said: "Everyone here is not an outsider, so there is nothing that cannot be said!
Besides, this person’s true identity has been exposed. Now that we know his true identity, he can’t escape from the trap of the God’s Catcher even if he has wings!
This person is none other than Pei Ying, the famous lone thief in the world!
Although Pei Ying's martial arts is only at the seventh level, he is very good at light kung fu, and..."
"What? Master Miao, the person you want to arrest this time is "Wuying Fei arrest" Pei Ying?"
Before Miao Xian finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice of surprise from someone present who was so surprised that he couldn't help shouting.
"Yes, it's Pei Ying!"
When Miao Xian saw that the speaker was Dong Cheng, he asked: "Dong Captou, why are you so surprised? Is there something wrong?
Judging from the tone of your words, could it be that you have met Pei Ying recently? "
"Master Miao, the reason Mr. Dong is so surprised is because there has been too much trouble over Pei Ying in the past two days!"
Before Dong Cheng could answer, Yang Jin, who had always acted as a transparent person, suddenly took the lead and said, "Now that you mention this person so suddenly, not only Dong Dong, but also I am very surprised!"
Yang Jin was afraid that Dong Cheng would tell everything about Cao Fang, Pei Ying, and Zhang Youfu, so she took over the conversation before Dong Cheng could speak.
"Yes, Master Miao, it's just because the Pei Ying incident was a bit too big, that's why I was a little surprised!"
Although he didn't understand why Yang Jin said this, out of trust, Dong Cheng had no choice but to nod and follow Yang Jin's words.
"Oh? Isn't this strange?"
Miao Xian was a little surprised: "Pei Ying has always been hidden in a secret place in the city, and there has been no movement.
Why were we just busy outside the city for two days due to other things and didn't have time to pay attention to him for a while. How could he suddenly cause such a big fuss?
I don’t know, he caused some big trouble and made a lot of noise? "
Yang Jin still caught up Dong Cheng's words: "It is said that the night before yesterday, someone saw Pei Ying having his legs suddenly broken by a master.
After that, he was taken to Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building and made a big fuss. After that, he suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
In the past two days, not only people from Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, but also people from all walks of life in Pingyang City were looking for traces of him and his junior brother "Gust of Wind" Cao Fang! "
Hearing this, Miao Xian frowned: "So, Pei Ying has not been found yet, and he still disappeared without a trace??"
"That's right! There is still no news about Pei Ying. It is still unclear whether he is dead or alive. There is no news about him in Pingyang City!
Because his junior brother and I had some misunderstandings, Wan Tai, the chief steward of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building, asked me about this in person yesterday in order to find their traces?
When Wantai came to see me, not only Brother Dong was present, but Brother Shen and the others also saw it! "
As soon as Yang Jin said this, Fu Mingyu also said: "Yes! We all saw it!
At that time, we were still wondering, why would the chief steward of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building sit and eat with you?
It turns out that I am looking for you to inquire about the whereabouts of "Wuying Fei Zhu" Pei Ying and his junior brother Cao Fang! "
"Pei Ying suddenly disappeared? What should I do?
I also want to use this person to lure out all those people who are hiding in the dark way.
Now that he has disappeared, wouldn’t all my previous wishful thinking be in vain?
If I had known this would happen, I should have taken action earlier and arrested him for interrogation! "
Maybe the news of Pei Ying's sudden disappearance was a bit unacceptable to Miao Xian. He didn't care that Fu Mingyu and the others were present, and his emotions were obviously out of control.
"Master Miao, don't be too upset!
Although this matter has now become unclear because something went wrong.
But whether the situation is peaceful or not, as long as Pei Ying and Lu Xinglie, the devil, do not leave Pingyang City, the truth will eventually come to light one day.
By the way, I heard..."
Seeing that Miao Xian was not very interested, Shen Yi changed the topic to other things.
Listening to the chat between Shen Yi and Miao Xian just now, Yang Jin got a lot of information next to him, and his eyes flashed from time to time.
"I didn't know how to handle Pei Ying at first, but I learned the top secret technique of Qinggong in his hand, and even turned him into my tool.
It's fine now. I didn't expect that just for a meal, I got such a big deal from Miao Xian! "
With such a big handle like Pei Ying in his hand, and with Yang's thinking and methods, should Pei Ying just let him flatten and round him?
Now Shen Yi and Miao Xian changed the topic. As soon as Yang Jin heard this, he was not very interested and turned all his attention to the table full of food.
Since Fu Mingyu and the others did not drink, and Miao Xian was also a little absent-minded, the meal was finished quickly.
After lunch, Yang Jin had something to go back to, so he led Su Rou and Fu Mingyu back to He Mansion without staying at the Yamen.
Of course, now this house can no longer be called He Mansion, but should be called Yang Mansion.
Just now at the dinner table, Zhou Meng had given the He Mansion where Yang Jin was currently staying temporarily to Yang Jin as a residence on behalf of the Yamen.
In order to reward him for killing Lu Gang, the leader of the Black Tiger Hall, at the critical moment last night, he saved Zhong Zhan, the fifth-grade silver medal leader.
Moreover, his current position in the Shenpingmen Yamen has been officially changed to a regular position. He is no longer an alternate clerk before, but a formal treasury keeper of stolen goods.
Because the Shenshamen and others were going to Black Tiger Hall to search their homes in the afternoon, Zhang Jin did not follow them back. He had to go with Dong Cheng and others to search their homes and make records in the afternoon.
Although Yang Jin is now the keeper of the stolen goods treasury, with the little ink he has in his stomach, he is not yet qualified to handle the work of keeper of the stolen goods treasury. He can only let Zhang Jin, a scholar, do it for him first.
Although the chief catcher, Zhou Meng, has always been selfless, he still doesn't care about people and situations. Besides, he doesn't really understand the ways of the world.
He knew that Yang Jin had a wide circle of friends now, and had friendships with people from Hanshan Sword Sect and Queyue Mountain Wutong Temple, and he also had a life-saving benevolence for Zhong Zhan, the silver medal head catcher.
Of course, Zhang Jin readily agreed to handle official affairs for Yang Jin.
Not only that, but he also arranged a vacancy for Zhang Jin as a trainee clerk, which was Yang Jin's previous position.
Yang Jin was of course grateful to Zhou Meng for giving him face by going to the road like this, and at the same time, he had a good impression of Zhou Meng in his heart.
I thought that I would definitely repay the favor if I had the opportunity in the future. I would always repay the favor several times.
There were five people when we came, four when we went back, but there were only three people on the way.
Yang Jin was afraid that Su Rou was too young and tired, so she put her in the bamboo basket behind her and carried her behind her back.
Now he carries a big bamboo basket on his back every day when he comes to Shencat Gate, which contains some things he needs to practice martial arts.
The ingredients Su Rou used to make herbal meals in the morning were put in bamboo baskets and brought to the Yamen.
Su Rou is only eight or nine years old now, and she has been very thin due to malnutrition, so she can sit in the bamboo basket just fine.
Yang Jin carried Su Rou like this on the one hand because he didn't want Su Rou to be too tired, and on the other hand he also wanted to increase the weight-bearing practice. After some blood coagulation and body quenching in the morning, his physical fitness had improved.
Therefore, in order to adapt to the sudden increase in strength in the body, increasing the weight is also a good way to quickly adapt to the speed of strength.
After returning home, Yang Jin first delivered the meals prepared by Cheng Qing to Cao Fang and the others in the secret room.
Although Cheng Qing was surprised that Yang Jin had come back from eating at Shenzaimen, why did he need to add another meal.
But she was a beggar when she was young, had suffered hardships, was very precocious, and knew the principle of talking less and doing more, so she never asked more questions.
Yang Jin was very satisfied with how well-informed the little girl Cheng Qing was.
After delivering food to Cao Fang and the others, Yang Jin came out.
Although he had a lot of things to ask Pei Ying in his mind, time was limited.
Moreover, in front of Cao Fang, it was not convenient for him to say or use some of Pei Ying's words and methods.
Besides, don't be afraid of being late for a good meal, since Pei Ying is now in the hands of Yang, and he has such a big handle.
The days are long and there will be plenty of time in the future. Isn't he afraid that Pei Ying will escape from his grasp?
Because he still had a lot of work to do next, he came out after delivering food to Cao Fang and the others.
