One Piece of Song Dynasty

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingling rode a horse and led all the guards to chase the thief. After chasing for a short distance, Li Qingling used the power of his horse to fly into the air and somersaulted a few times before landing in front of the thief. The thief was wearing coarse clothes. Li Qingling fell to the ground. The thief raised his sword in front of him and said, "Stop, don't move."

When the thief saw someone stopping him, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He took out a dagger and stabbed Li Qingling: "You are looking for death."

It was too late, but soon, Li Qingling saw the thief coming towards her with a dagger, so she quickly backed away and drew her sword to subdue the thief. However, as soon as Li Qingling pulled out the sword, Tian Kai arrived in time and kicked him from one side. The thief kicked the ground and pointed his sword at the thief: "Boy, don't move. If you move again, today will be your death anniversary next year."

The thief looked at the shining sword in front of him and dared not move again. Tian Kai stepped forward with the sword in hand, kicked the dagger out of the thief's hand, and then ordered someone to tie him up. After the thief was tied up, Li Qingling stepped forward and searched the girl's lost purse from the thief: "Tell me, why did you steal something?"

Seeing that he was in trouble today, the thief pretended to be pitiful and said: "This young gentleman, just do your best and let him go. He will never dare to do it again."

Li Qingling snorted coldly: "Let you go, you first tell me why you want to do this sneaky thing, and then I will decide whether to let you go. I remind you in advance, don't tell lies, I will investigate you." It’s easy to turn things upside down.”

The thief had no choice but to say: "Xiao Xiao was originally a bandit in Heiyang Mountain. Later, the imperial army came to suppress the bandits. The stronghold was gone. Xiao Xiao became homeless and lived in Zhengzhou because he had no money to do such a thing. .”

Li Qingling frowned and said: "No, you didn't tell the truth. The court has an explicit order. As long as you are not a bandit leader, everyone will be divided into land. Where is your land?"

The thief hesitated and didn't dare to speak. When Tian Kai saw this, he kicked him up and said, "Speak quickly, or you will risk your life if you don't say anything."

The thief then hesitated and said: "The little one is an orphan, and the court allocated the land. But the little one has been in the mountains for many years and doesn't know how to farm, so he sold the land. The little one is good at gambling, so he spent all the money from selling the land." The bet is gone, now”

Li Qingling sneered and said: "The imperial court has banned gambling, but you still dare to gamble. You really don't take the imperial court seriously. Tell me where the underground casino is and who runs it. Tell me everything you know."

The thief knelt down and said, "Mr. Lang, please spare my life. I really don't dare to say anything. If I do, I will die."

Tian Kai pointed his sword at the thief and said, "If you don't tell me, I will kill you now."

The thief had no choice but to say it. Li Qingling took out a charcoal pen and wrote down everything the thief said on the paper and handed it to Tian Kai and said, "You know what to do."

Tian Kai cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Mr. Lang, I will come as soon as you go."

After Tian Kai left, Li Qingling said: "A lazy person like you will be a disaster if you stay in society, but according to the law, your crime will not lead to death. I will send you to the public security bureau later. Don't worry, I will." I have already taken care of you, and no one will silence you."

Li Qingling took the purse and led the thief back to the two girls: "Girl, take a look at your purse to see if there is anything missing in it."

After the girl in green clothes took the purse, she said, "No, I believe in your husband's character and haven't asked him his name yet."

Li Qingling cupped her fists and said, "Li Qingling, I wonder if you can tell me the girl's name?"

The girl in green clothes smiled slightly and said, "Little girl Tang Wan has thanked Mr. Li for his kindness."

Li Qingling said: "It turns out to be Miss Tang. I wonder if Miss Tang is familiar with Zhengzhou Mansion?"

Tang Wan replied: "I'm familiar with it. I don't know what happened to Mr. Li."

Li Qingling pointed at the thief next to him and said, "This man stole your wallet. Of course I will send him to the public security bureau. It's just my first time in Zhengzhou, so I don't know where the public security bureau is."

Tang Wan said: "The Nu family knows that the Nu family will take Li Langjun to the Public Security Bureau immediately."

Everyone went to the Public Security Bureau together. On the way, Li Qingling said proactively: "Miss Tang, after I send the prisoner to the Public Security Bureau later, can I treat the girl to a meal?"

Tang Wan shook his head and said: "Li Langjun has helped the slave family. The slave family should hire Li Langjun. How can we let Li Langjun spend money?"

Li Qingling refused: "No, no, since ancient times, men have invited women to dinner. How can there be any reason for women to invite men to dinner? Besides, I have a lot of subordinates today. If they all cost the girl, I will feel bad about it, so be it. , I will invite you today, if Miss Tang wants to repay her kindness, please invite me alone next time."

Tang Wan looked at Li Qingling's unquestionable eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll just invite Li Langjun next time."

Li Qingling said feeling refreshed: "Okay, let's make an agreement. Next time you invite me, we will go to Zhengzhou Tianxiang Tower together in a while, and I will treat Miss Tang to dinner there."

Tang Wan frowned and said, "The Nu family heard that the food at Tianxianglou is not cheap. Li Langjun doesn't need to spend so much money. Just find a cheap restaurant to eat."

Li Qingling said: "It's okay. I have a membership at Tianxiang Tower and I can get discounts on meals there."

Just when Li Qingling and others went to the Public Security Bureau, Tian Kai came to Zhengzhou Tianxiang Tower with his confession.

When the boy saw a guest coming in, he came up and said, "What does this guest want to eat?"

Tian Kai took out a special jade pendant and said, "I am looking for your shopkeeper, and I also ask your shopkeeper to come out and meet me."

After seeing the jade pendant clearly, the boy said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will call the shopkeeper over now."

After a while, Wang Wenlong, the shopkeeper of Zhengzhou Tianxianglou, heard the news and came out. Yes, this Wang Wenlong was the person who ordered Li Xin to kidnap Ma Kuo more than ten years ago. He now has a dual identity. On the surface, he is the owner of Zhengzhou Tianxianglou of Yuxin Group. The shopkeeper is secretly the head of the Zhengzhou branch of Jinyiweinan Town Fusi.

When Wang Wenlong saw Tian Kai, he bowed and said, "I wonder what this guest officer wants to do with me."

Tian Kai handed the jade pendant to Wang Wenlong and said, "Can you find a room to discuss in detail?"

Wang Wenlong looked at the jade pendant and said, "Please come in, please."

After entering a room, Tian Kai handed a piece of paper to Wang Wenlong and said: "This is the specific information about the underground casino that my young master discovered in Zhengzhou Mansion. The young master hopes that you can report it."

Wang Wenlong looked at the confession and said: "Logically speaking, this matter of gambling is not under the control of our Nanzhen Fu Division, but should be managed by the Public Security Bureau. But since it is entrusted by your young master, I will take it. I will make a copy of the confession and submit it to the police, and if they ignore it, I will report it to them."

Tian Kai clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. There are still prisoners who we will hand over to the Public Security Bureau. However, the young master hopes that the shopkeeper can worry more about the safety of the prisoners. After all, prisoners are also witnesses."

Wang Wenlong nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."
