The fat man didn't speak, just nodded, and then with Zhengyao's support, he headed towards the ruined temple. Free e-book download

Zhengyao didn't think much about the fat man's behavior. Perhaps it was because the fat man didn't like to talk and had a withdrawn personality. However, there was always one thing that Zhengyao was sure of, and that was that there was something wrong with the fat man.

.

Today it has been proven that this fat man is not deaf. At least when others call him, hit him and scold him, he can understand what the other person means, but he does not say it out loud. Of course, the possibility that he is mute is relatively low, because this fat man

Basically, his expression has not changed much. If he was truly mute and was beaten and scolded, he would still have normal reactions.

Therefore, Zhengyao could conclude that the fat man was deliberately hiding or concealing something.

After sending the fat man back to the ruined temple, the fat man huddled up again, and then hid behind the Buddha statue and fell asleep. Zhengyao could only feel helpless for a while. He shook his head and then picked up the linen bag that had been crumpled by the fat man on the ground.

He got up and spread it on the fat man as a quilt to prevent him from catching a cold.

Seeing that the fat man snored not long after, and not knowing whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep, Zheng Yao finally decided to leave. Before leaving, Zheng Yao still said a word, telling the fat man to have a good rest. If there is anything needed,

You can go to Yuanlai Inn to find yourself, and don't steal anything again. In the end, Zhengyao didn't forget to leave a few taels of silver for the fat man, which was considered to be the most benevolent thing.

However, Zhengyao didn't complain. His intuition always told him that this fat man was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

It was still early to leave the ruined temple. Zhengyao was not in a hurry to return to the inn, but decided to stroll around Yangzhou City to appreciate the local customs and bustling atmosphere.

The green mountains are faint and the water is far away, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered after autumn. On a bright moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, where is the beautiful woman teaching how to play the flute. It is full of meaning. The fresh breath of nature is permeated, which is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy. Zheng Yao looks around, but he is happy to enjoy it.

.

While in the light, I suddenly heard a shout from the crowd in front of me. The shouting voice must have been an old man, but the shouting never stopped, and it seemed that no one was helping at all.

Zheng Yao took advantage of the situation and looked around, only to see an old man dancing and running while shouting. In front of him, there were tall and strong men whose backs seemed to be running faster. The old man couldn't catch up at all.

Seeing this situation, Zhengyao didn't think much and jumped over the cloud top with one move and directly jumped over the roof. He immediately flew forward and chased after him.

Zhengyao's Qinggong is all performed by "Eight Styles of Feiyun". The deeper he understands "Eight Styles of Feiyun", the better his Qinggong will naturally be. Now Zhengyao's "Eight Styles of Feiyun"

It can be considered a small success. Although he is not at the level of a master, he is at least a master. If you want to catch up with a little thief, to be honest, it is indeed a bit overkill.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps!

Zhengyao only took five steps in the air and was already about to catch up with the tall and strong man.

"The brave little thief dares to make trouble in front of Zhou Miao, the number one catcher of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Crack!"

"oops--"

Just when Zhengyao was about to kick him and catch the strong man, a scabbard suddenly flew from behind. Before Zhengyao could kick out the kick, the strong man fell to the ground.

He couldn't help but scream in pain.

Zhengyao immediately retracted his kick. He spun around in the air, floated down, and finally landed in front of the strong man. At the same time, a middle-aged man wearing a police officer's uniform ran towards him quickly. The man had thick eyebrows.

With big eyes and a tuft of hair on top of his head, he looks bright and energetic.

In the blink of an eye, the policeman appeared next to Zhengyao, then glared at the strong man and angrily shouted: "Little thief, tell me your name quickly, why did you steal someone's money bag? Is this your first offender?"

After saying that, Zhou Miao took advantage of the situation and pointed the bright sword directly at the back of the strong man's neck.

Zhou Miao's voice sounded rich and serious, and he sounded like an upright and dedicated police officer who would not engage in malpractice for personal gain or be merciful.

Feeling a chill on his back, the strong man lying on the ground slowly stretched out his hand, removed the big knife, then carefully lay on the spot and turned 180 degrees, facing Zheng Yao and the policeman.

"Arrest... Mr. Catcher, the little one's name is Zhou Cai, look... for the sake of our surname Zhou, please... please let me go! I... I can't help it, so...

...I had no choice but to commit the crime, I...I promise, this is definitely...definitely the first time!"

The person being arrested has all the stolen goods and is caught on the spot. Even if you want to lie about it, it is better to be honest. Of course, in front of the policeman, you should try to make yourself look as miserable and helpless as possible, so that you may be able to get arrested.

Quick sympathy and no investigation.

"Zhou Cai? Don't let me get close to you! Is this your first time committing a crime? You want to lie to me! I won't tell you the truth if I don't show you your face! Humph!" Zhou Miao said coldly.

This Zhou Miao behaved very calmly and decisively, which seemed to be somewhat worthy of his title as the number one catcher of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how rhetorical the other party was, no matter how extravagant the other party's words were, he always maintained a clear head.

Catching the police is really rare.

Seeing this, Zhengyao couldn't help but praise him. If it were him, and he caught such a criminal, he might actually be lenient and let him go.

Zhou Cai saw that Zhou Miao didn't seem to agree with him, and immediately said in a panic: "Zhou... Zhou Cai doesn't dare, I... I tell the truth, this is not the first time I have committed a crime, please... please Zhou Cai

Detective, let... let me go, I... I don't want to go to jail."

Criminals are all like this. Once they are caught, they say they don’t want to go to jail. But when they say this, have they thought about the consequences of committing a crime before committing it?

"Captain Zhou, arrest him quickly! This Zhou Cai is already considered a street rat in Yangzhou City. He has been idle all day, doing nothing, cheating, abducting and stealing. He can't do it without giving him a lesson!"

"Yes, yes! Catch him and imprison him for ten to eight years, lest he come out to steal things again."

"That's right, maybe he stole the money I dropped last time. Catch him and find him guilty!"

…

…

I hadn't heard the voices of these people before, but after catching Zhou Cai, a group of people immediately gathered around him, and they immediately started talking and adding insult to injury. Zhou Cai really turned into a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat him up.

"Stop making noise!" Zhou Miao suddenly shouted loudly, scaring the crowd around him to take a step back, and then said: "Shut up, all of you! Whether he is guilty or not is not my final say. This has to wait until the prefect comes.

We won’t know until the verdict! But if you are caught by me today, you must go to the Yamen! Bring it!”

After saying that, Zhou Miao violently snatched the money bag from Zhou Cai's hand and handed it to the panting old man on the side who had his money bag stolen.

"Thank you...Thank you, Captain Zhou! I can't thank you enough!" After taking the money bag, the old man said with a grateful face.

The old man looked to be in his sixties, his face was already covered with wrinkles, and the corners of his mouth were faintly twitching when he spoke. He must have been tired from running too much just now.

Zhengyao gently patted the old man's back and helped him breathe easier. Seeing this, the old man looked at Zhengyao and showed a knowing smile to express his gratitude.

Zhou Miao did not answer, but turned his head to look at Zhengyao. After hesitating for two seconds, he looked at Zhou Cai again.

Zhou Cai was very unwilling and hugged Zhou Miao's right leg and said: "Please...please, Inspector Zhou, I...I won't enter the Yamen, I won't enter the Yamen!"

Yamen is usually a blessed place for some people, such as lawyers, masters, etc., because only here can they prove themselves; however, for some people, it is a hell, for example, if they commit a crime

Criminals and common people who have made mistakes, because usually, no benefits will be given to them here.

Of course, this is just normal. However, it is also a bad place for the little thief who stole the money bag in front of him. Therefore, when he heard that he was going to enter the Yamen, he felt as if he was going to a prison cell.

They all looked worried and scared.

Seeing the miserable look on the strong man's face, sobbing and begging for mercy, the old man couldn't bear it for a while, and then pulled Zhou Miao and said: "Captain Zhou, I... I'll forget it, anyway I... I

There’s nothing to lose.”

Old people like to reduce big things to small things and small things to nothing. It is a waste of time and energy to argue with those people. Seeing that I have nothing to lose, I still feel that I should not pursue it more.

At this moment, Zhengyao also felt that this should be the case. The parties involved were no longer pursuing the case, so there was no need to continue.

So he said: "Captain Zhou, I guess forget it, this Zhou Cai should be quite difficult."

Zhengyao is the most observant person. One look at Zhou Cai's outfit and the calluses on his hands, and you can guess that he probably doesn't have much money. It should be just like what he said, he was forced to do this.

Those who come out to steal may also be refugees from disaster areas.

However, Zhou Miao was not moved at all. He glanced at the old man and Zhengyao one after another, then shook his head and said crisply: "No! If you commit a crime, you will be punished accordingly. How can you let me let you go just as you say? Then I will

Where can I put the dignity of the Ming Dynasty’s number one arrester? Follow me back to the Yamen! You go too!"

After saying that, Zhou Miao pulled Zhou Cai up, and then yelled at the old man, not caring what others thought.

"Captain Zhou..."

Zhengyao wanted to say something more, but after taking two steps forward, he was hugged by Zhou Miao.

Then Zhou Miao turned to look at Zhengyao and said, "Don't try to stop me. Although your Qinggong is good, I'm not bad either!"
