Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

Her father-in-law's first day in office seemed to go smoothly. He had been in the officialdom for so many years, so Tangning was assured of his abilities.

Zhao Xiancheng was only promoted half a level to take over his position as Ping'an County Magistrate. If he could also be transferred by His Majesty and serve as an assistant officer such as Shaoyin, with the tacit understanding between the two of them over the years, they should be invincible.

It's a pity that this kind of thing depends on luck. At present, it seems that this is not possible.

So far, their family has completely established a foothold in Beijing.

Although compared with those big families with decades of foundation and mixed roots in Beijing, their backgrounds are still a little thin, but backgrounds cannot be generalized. No matter how powerful the party is, how dense the network of relationships, there is no one who has the emperor's back. This tree is safe.

Towards the end of the year, the major shops owned by the Tang Dynasty have doubled their sales due to the Sixteenth Guards Competition, which has entered the eyes of the people of the capital.

Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao discussed it and made certain adjustments to the industrial structure. The biggest change was to separate the newspaper from Tang Ren Zhai and establish a separate Jingshi Daily.

This organization does not make money. If labor costs are included, there is even a certain degree of loss. However, this is also a strategic loss. As the first official news organization of Chen State, the significance of this is not so much as thousands or hundreds of taels. What money can measure.

As the end of the year approaches, there are no major events to publish in the newspapers. All major government agencies are paying close attention to public security. In the past two days, many houses have been stolen, including housekeepers' mansions and wealthy families. My father-in-law specifically mentioned it yesterday. In newspapers, the general public in Beijing was reminded to increase their awareness of prevention and do a good job in preventing theft.

In the Ministry of Etiquette, the errands of the year-end festivals are completely shouldered by the Department of Ancestral Affairs Department. Liu Jin, the doctor of the Ancestral Department, has gotten up earlier than a chicken and slept later than a dog these two days. He has been wearing stars and moonlight and worked hard. He is so busy that he has no time to eat, but he still Don't forget to read the newspaper every day.

Although if something major happens in the capital, the major government offices are often the first to know about it, rumors are more convincing than black and white letters.

To his disappointment, nothing major happened in the past few days, especially Liu Shilang, whose face was glowing every day, as if the old lady was celebrating her sixtieth birthday every day.

However, he still strengthened his belief that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. It is not that there will be no reward. The time has not come yet. There is always a period of extreme darkness before dawn. He has survived so many days and does not care about these two days. of.

After all, winter is here, can spring be far behind?

There was nothing major in the newspaper. It just mentioned that many homes in Beijing had been stolen recently. The thieves were extremely rampant. After stealing things, they would leave a plum blossom at the scene, claiming to be some kind of strange thief Yizhimei...

I don't know if this branch of plum can rob not only wealth but also sex. If he can go to Liu's house and rob the evil woman in his house, his life will be easier in the future.

It's really exciting to think about.

……

The strange thief Iljimae is a thief who suddenly appeared in the capital in the past few days. He does not steal from the common people, but only officials and dignitaries. I don’t know why, no matter how tight the defenses of those houses are, for Iljimae, it is... It was just a lie. In just a few days, more than ten families were robbed, leaving only a plum blossom at the scene to show their identity.

Jingzhao Mansion has issued a sea arrest document. If anyone can catch this thief, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. Unfortunately, this thief came without a trace and it is impossible to find his trace.

Late at night, in a high gate in Beijing.

Uncle Shouquan took Xina's concubine in his arms and walked into the room. He turned back and told his servants: "Send more people to patrol the warehouse at night. Don't let those thieves come in and steal things."

The guard in the mansion immediately said: "Yes, sir!"

Uncle Shou Quan nodded with satisfaction and walked into the room with his concubine in his arms. He had just skinned her into a little white sheep, covered her with a quilt, and was about to have a big fight when a gong sound suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

"It's Iljimae, catch him quickly!"

"Don't let him run away!"

……

Uncle Shou Quan was in a tense and exciting moment when he was startled by the sudden sound of gongs. He shivered twice and then felt dull.

In the courtyard, the guards of Uncle Shouquan's Mansion watched a figure jump up to the wall, click a few times and then disappear. Holding a torch in one hand and a plum blossom in the other, he stood in the courtyard with a look on his face. Reluctant look.

Uncle Shou Quan put on his clothes, hurriedly came out of the room, and asked: "Did you catch it? Did you catch it?"

The guard lowered his head and said, "Master, I accidentally let him escape just now!"

"Trash!" Shou Quanbo kicked several people in anger and shouted: "They are all trash!"

His chest was heaving and his breathing was rapid: "If you can't even catch a thief, what's the use of raising you!"

At this time, a guard trotted over holding a torch and said, "Master, there is something on the ground."

Uncle Shou Quan frowned and said, "What?"

The guard picked up a pamphlet from the ground and said, "It seems to have fallen from Iljimae."

Uncle Shou Quan returned to the room, opened the book, and saw some words densely written on it. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that all the records on it were from wealthy families in Beijing, and that was all. It even recorded very clearly what precious treasures each family had. Wang Yushijia collected an original calligraphy by Su Shi and an authentic calligraphy by Mi Fu. It went to Liu Shilang's house. Mr. Qi of Hubu had a lot of money in his house. It was all obtained through corruption. He didn't dare to report it to the official after it was stolen...

There were dozens of pieces of information, some with a "" on them. Uncle Shouquan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that they were the houses that had been stolen in the past few days.

Are the preparations for being a thief so detailed these days? Sure enough, no one can succeed casually. It is no wonder that Xia Yizhimei can become the number one thief in the capital. It turns out that he has also done so much hard work in private.

Uncle Shou Quan flipped through it casually, and suddenly a piece of paper fell out of the booklet.

He picked it up and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Gift list, what gift list?"

After reading it, he stood stunned and murmured: "This is not the [-]th birthday. This is obviously a money-grabbing party..."

He murmured something, and he always felt that something was wrong. When he looked up again, he couldn't help but take a breath, "This, this..., where did their money come from?"?

A seventh-grade official, who is still a clear figure in Yushitai, has an annual salary of less than a hundred taels. A gift can easily be 1000 taels or 2000 taels...

Listed above are all officials who attended Liu Shilang's mother's sixtieth birthday, and these people are all members of the Tang family and the Duanwang faction.

"It's great..." Unexpectedly, catching the thief would lead to such a big harvest. Uncle Shou Quan looked happy and said, "Quick, prepare the sedan and go to Prince Kang's Mansion!"

……

In Tianranju, Su Mei took off her night clothes and said dissatisfiedly: "Yizhimei, can't you give it a nicer name?"

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "How about a super cute little fox that can charm the whole country with one smile and charm the country with two smiles?"

Su Mei waved her hand and said: "Forget it, just a branch of plum."

She threw Ye Xingyi aside and said, "You are really stingy. Liu Feng just impeached your father-in-law once, and you are going to take revenge on him like this..."

"This is not revenge." Tang Ning corrected him, "If he is really clean, nothing will happen to him. If he is not, then we can eliminate harm for the people and represent justice."

Su Mei shook her head and said: "Even if he is not a breeze, those who give gifts will probably hate him to death... They say you are petty, and they are absolutely right."

"This is not to be petty, this is to protect the people I care about." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "If anyone bullies you, I guarantee that his end will be as miserable as Liu Feng's."

Su Mei said: "Am I someone you care about?"

Tangning looked into her eyes and asked, "What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, I got it..." A charming smile appeared on Su Mei's face, and she waved her hand and said, "I'm going to bed, please go back quickly."

Tangning sat by the bed and said, "There's no curfew these days anyway. You can go to sleep. I'll leave after you fall asleep."

Tang Ning felt a little sorry that she had to play the role of the thief Yizhimei every day, so she took the initiative to coax her to sleep. After finally coaxing her to sleep, Tang Ning left the room and walked out of Tiantianju.

"You have been running out every night for the past two days, just to come here to have a private meeting with Su Hu?"

A voice suddenly came from behind. Tangning turned her head and saw Tang Yaoyao standing in the darkness, her eyes flashing dangerously.
