Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The thief didn't believe in evil.

He started searching again for the second time.

The result of the second time was the same, there was nothing except clothes.

He was so angry that he threw all his clothes into the closet.

Thinking about the jewelry Zhao Yuanzhen was wearing, they were all valuable items.

Especially that pair of bracelets.

That kind of water and color are the best among jades and must be worth a lot of money.

As he thought about it, he groped to the bedside, trying to touch Zhao Yuanzhen's arm and take her table.

Zhao Yuanzhen has been watching the show for so long that she doesn't want to endure it anymore.

He just sat up and kicked him away.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very strong, and he kicked with all his might. The man flew out, hit the wall, and slid down.

I guess he won’t wake up for a while.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a rope, tied him up, and then tied him to the window.

Oh! The body is outside the window.

Then, I washed my hands and went to bed.

It's really annoying to disturb people's sweet dreams.

Zhao Yuanzhen woke up in the morning to the thief's screams and cries.

The thief was dazed and when he came to, he found that his feet were not touching the ground.

When I looked up, I saw that I was hanging on the window.

This is the third floor. If you fall down, you will be disabled if not killed.

After waiting for a while, no one paid any attention to me.

It was still morning and most people were not awake yet.

Therefore, no one saw him, so he could only shout.

I hope someone can save me.

"Help! Someone killed someone! Help!"

Zhao Yuanzhen was annoyed by the noise.

He opened the door, went next door, and called Qingfeng over.

"Qingfeng, come out for a moment."

"Madam, I'm here."

"Go and drag up the man hanging from the window of my room, gag him, and take him aside to watch."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingfeng couldn't understand why the lady had someone hanging in the middle of the night.

But he didn't ask any more questions and dealt with the person as the lady said.

Pulled out again.

Throw it in your room and wait for your wife's instructions.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the time. It was not yet five o'clock.

This damn thing is so annoying.

She went back to bed for a nap.

This time, no one disturbed her and she slept until around 7 o'clock.

I got up, washed up, called a few other people, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked Qingfeng to lock the thief in his room and asked him to go downstairs with him to have breakfast. After breakfast, he would be sent to the yamen.

The few of them ate at a breakfast shop not far from the inn.

After having breakfast, I returned to the inn.

Zhao Yuanzhen had just entered her room.

Qingfeng started shouting.

"Madam, madam, the thief ran away."

"Ran?"

"He probably didn't run away, but was rescued by someone."

Zhang Zijin also went to check and found that there was no rope on the ground and the doors and windows were all closed.

The door was also locked when they first came back.

Qingfeng took the key and opened it himself.

"Yes, ma'am. When I came back, the door was still locked. Someone must have opened the door and let him go."

Oh?

This is interesting.

Only they and the innkeepers had the key to the door. Since they didn't open it themselves, it must have been opened by the innkeepers.

They were out for only half an hour and were still next to the inn.

Then the inn must have known the news a long time ago.

Just when he went out, he released the person.

It seems that this thief may be an employee of the inn, or may have some dealings with the inn.

"Qingfeng, go report to the authorities and tell them that we lost a huge fortune in the inn. Ask the government to handle it."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

Qingfeng went downstairs immediately and prepared to report to the police.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked the system to search for the person who came to steal last night.

Judging from his methods, this guy is a repeat offender.

Zhao Yuanzhen discovered that the man was still in the inn, but in the backyard. It seemed that it was indeed the inn's people who did it.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen in such a big inn. It was probably because they were bullied because of their unfamiliar spoken language and appearance.

It was also possible that his carriage was too ostentatious and attracted their attention.

"Lan Ying, go check out the carriage!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Lan Ying obviously thought of this and immediately walked towards the backyard.

After searching in the backyard for a long time, they still couldn't find their two RVs and carriages.

Lan Ying realized that something was wrong and hurried back to report to Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Madam, I have looked for it for many times, but I can't find our carriage or horses. I asked the guard boy, but he said he didn't know."

A motorhome is powered by four horses, and now, all eight horses are gone.

These horses were bought by Zhao Yuanzhen at the trade fair in Yanshan Prefecture, Xiaoshan County.

The horses I bought were good ones from the Jin Kingdom.

These horses are not only strong and healthy, but also have shiny and beautiful fur.

Now it's all gone.

"Okay, I understand. Let's wait for Qingfeng to come back first."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Grandma, our carriage and horses were stolen by them."

"um, yes."

"This is too much. They are so rampant in broad daylight."

"It's okay. No one can steal our things."

Zhao Yuanzhen comforted Zhang Zijin.

"Yeah, okay, grandma."

She asked the system to scan the position of the carriage and horses.

Both carriages and horses were together, looking at the scan results, still moving.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at it every once in a while, and only opened the map when the carriage stopped.

Look at where it finally stopped.

【Li Yuanwai Mansion. 】

Mr.?

Yuanwai is actually the abbreviation of Yuanwailang, which is also an official position. It probably means that it is an additional official position outside the official staff of the court.

To put it simply, it is the current auxiliary police.

So the current situation is that her two RVs and carriages were stolen by an auxiliary police officer?

And transported it back to the mansion openly?

Zhao Yuanzhen raised her eyebrows, a little curious about this auxiliary police officer.

Oh! No, it's Mr. Yuan's business.

I plan to go and see later what kind of powerful man this is.

Lan Ying tidied up Zhao Yuanzhen's room and planned to wash the clothes that were messed up.

Can a thief touch the lady's clothes?

Zhao Yuanzhen called Lan Ying and asked her to give her the clothes.

She threw it back into the space and told him to wipe it and wash it, which would save trouble.

The three of them waited in the room for another half an hour, but Qingfeng still hadn't come back.

"Grandma, why hasn't Qingfeng come back yet?"

It took more than an hour in total, almost 2 hours.

"It looks like we're in trouble. Let's go and take a look."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Yuanzhen asked them to lock the door and take the key. After thinking for a while, she took out a pen and paper from the space, washed a piece of paper, and put it under the bed.

I wrote one to Lan Ying and one to Zhang Zijin.

【Miss Zhao was here】

【Miss Blue was here】

【Qingqing was here】

【Young Master Zhang was here】

They hid the papers in a secret place under the bed and went out together.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a few people and walked towards the government office.

The yamen is not far from the inn, only about 20 minutes away.

When he arrived at the yamen, Lan Ying went to strike the drum to open the court.

"Who are you and what's the matter?"

"We are here to report to the government. We have lost something and a person as well."

"what?"

"One hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, some jewelry, two carriages, eight horses. A lost young master."

"Wait a moment, I'll go report to the county magistrate."

After the gatekeeper learned the basic information, he went to find the county magistrate.

More than ten minutes later, the servant came back.

They were told to go to the lobby and say the county magistrate was coming.

A few people entered the lobby and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly sitting in the hall.

He narrowed his eyes when he saw several people coming in.

He took the gavel and slammed it hard.

"How dare you, who dares not to be polite to me?"

"My Lord, I am a scholar, and this is my grandmother."

A scholar does not need to kneel when meeting a county magistrate.

"Where is your scholar's clerk?"

The county magistrate glanced at Zhang Zijin with some disbelief at such a young scholar.

"here."

Zhao Yuanzhen pretended to take out Zhang Zijin's scholar documents from his arms and showed them to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate wanted to take it, but was refused by Zhao Yuanzhen, who then packed it away.

The county magistrate looked straight at Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen ignored him and continued to pretend.

You must be kidding. If he took it away or tore it up, she would have to go back to the capital to get a new one. She would never do such a troublesome thing.

It is impossible to give others the opportunity to do it.

"Tell me, what about you? Who are you? Why don't you kneel?"

"I..."

Lan Ying was about to speak.

Zhang Zijin interrupted her.

"She's my sister."

Lan Ying opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and closed it again.

"Show me your household registration certificate and your travel permit."

Zhao Yuanzhen spread her hands and didn't take it.

"Our travel permit and household registration are in the inn. We left in a hurry and didn't take them."

"Then go back and get it!"

"My Lord, you have been asking questions about this and that since we came in, but you have not asked about the case. What is the reason?"

"How dare you! I am investigating a case and I will not allow you to interfere. Come here, she is disturbing the court and defying the imperial order. Drag her away and give her thirty lashes."

"It's not certain who will be held responsible for the crime of disrespecting an official appointed by the imperial court! Will you handle the case we reported to you or not?"

"I'm not going to do it today. Come on, drag her away and give her 30 lashes."

Several yamen runners came up and tried to arrest Zhao Yuanzhen.

Before he could get close to Zhao Yuanzhen, he was kicked to the ground by Lan Ying and Zhang Zijin one by one.

The remaining two were a little hesitant, not knowing whether to catch them or not. If they caught them, they were afraid of being kicked, but if they didn't catch them, the adults would not agree.

"How dare you resort to violence in court? Arrest them all and give each of them 30 lashes of the cane."

A few more bailiffs came up.

Several people drew their knives, held them up and slowly moved forward, trying to catch them all.

Lan Ying rushed forward and did not give Zhang Zijin any chance. These six yamen runners were quickly dealt with by Lan Ying.
