thief, don't run

There are many waterways in the south of Dazhou, large and small rivers, waters, criss-crossing, leading to moist quilts, villages are built near the water, towns are bustling, and there are more than a hundred boats on the surface of the river. , and more, it is still the merchant ships of the north and the south, and even the official ships, sailing out of the port, flooding the sea, bringing back rare treasures from other countries, and offering them to the court.So that the Quartet will come to court, and all nations will admire it.

Zhong Liyun flipped through the words like this indifferently, his eyes suddenly stopped, stopped in one place, and smiled slightly.

The letter: Linshuiyang's family is in charge of Jiangnan water transportation, with seven or eight; helps the river god, manages Yan Luo, dizang, and bestows grace.

Just don't look at it, as a person who has grown up in Jiangnan for many years, these things are nothing new.Jiangnan has two advantages, one is rice, and the other is waterways.It not only fills the stomach, but also fills people's pockets.Among the people who live on the water, only the Yang family is the largest, almost monopolizing all of them. After decades of operation, they are naturally a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, with a high threshold.

"This... is a bit troublesome."

Although she said it was troublesome, the corners of her mouth turned up to reveal her true thoughts. For her, the more challenging it is, the more interesting it is.

"Do you want to steal it?" An Lingxue said helplessly.

Zhong Liyun shrugged, his expression was saying: "Do you have any other options?"

That day, I received a letter from that person, explaining that the next goal was a glazed lantern, and the location was exactly what Zhong Liyun had introduced on the paper in his hand, Linshuiyang's house.

This is Zhongliyun's habit. Before making a move every time, he will investigate everything involved in this thing in detail, such as people, things, family relations, and conflicts of interests...Try to be comprehensive and know yourself and your enemy.Of course, what she sees the most is the structural diagram of the house, how to attack, how to escape, whether to leave a retreat, etc. These days, An Lingxue has finally seen it. After making so many preparations, it is no wonder that every time She can be called to succeed.

"Although I was mainly studying how to provoke you, Mr. County Captain, but I didn't get caught by you. This is even more difficult."

Regarding Zhong Liyun's smirk, An Lingxue rolled her eyes at her.

Having said that, An Lingxue doesn't need to read these materials, because she is very familiar with the Yang family.

Aunt Xia's ex-husband's family was the Yang family. If Aunt Xia did not reconcile, then Chu Yan should be called Yang Yan.

When Aunt Xia and Aunt Li left, An Lingxue was still young and didn't know much about human affairs, but when she grew up a little bit and wondered why Ah Yan didn't have a father, she began to get to know the Yang family little by little.

It's just what she can find out, and it's only news on the surface. She still doesn't know the real reason why Aunt Xia and that man reconciled.A little older, and understood that Aunt Xia didn't want to mention this matter, and An Lingxue's secret investigation ended here.It wasn't until the end that she found out that the man's name was Yang Yuandong, who was also Chu Yan's father.

Although she didn't know the reason, An Lingxue privately thought that it must be the man's fault when she was young.Although Aunt Xia was married in as the main wife, how could there be less intrigue in the big family with three wives and four concubines?What's more, according to Aunt Xia's temperament, it must be some man who did something wrong to Aunt Xia.It must be so!

But what Chu Yan told her not long ago seems to be not the case, and this matter may have something to do with her mother, An Lingxue doesn't know what to do now.

Apart from these things, what I should think about now is how to get that glazed lamp.

The forward carriage came to an uneven ground, bumped a bit, An Lingxue grabbed Zhong Liyun's sleeve, "Don't steal it, absolutely not."

After leaving Yunshuijian, they walked a long mountain road, so when they arrived at a small town, An Lingxue refused to leave no matter what, Zhong Liyun felt sorry for her foot injury, so he hired a carriage , although the carriage was comfortable, it moved slowly, but Zhong Liyun felt that the slower the journey, the better.

It's just that no matter how slow you walk, you are now approaching Shangluo County.

The city gate in the distance was looming, Zhong Liyun put down the small curtain beside the car, and said helplessly: "If you don't steal it, then go grab it?"

An Lingxue hit her and said angrily, "Of course not!"

"Then what should we do? Seduce? Seduce?"

"It's a shame you figured it out." An Lingxue complained, then touched her own face, and said: "But this is also fine, you go? Or me..."

"Forget it then." Zhong Liyun replied quickly.

An Lingxue laughed, and simply leaned against her, "Anyway, you can't steal it, think about whether there is any decent way..."

No.How could there be such a method.It is someone else's property, and the motive for obtaining it is not pure, so how can there be a so-called decent way.

But Zhong Liyun didn't say these words.Ashe thought differently from her, she still had to rely on herself for the master's affairs.

Just holding Ah Xue's hand tightly, Zhongliyun smiled, "Then think about it, there will always be a way."

"Ah."

An Lingxue walked all the way, thinking all the way, when she got to the gate of her own house, she didn't expect the way to get the lamp, but she prepared a lot of excuses for herself.

When she took Rong Rong away, left her father and Chu Yan, and left a letter saying that she was looking for Zhong Liyun, it was easier to deal with it here, the key is that she still has her brother at home, this is really difficult to explain thing.

Regarding her relationship with Zhong Liyun, An Lingxue hadn't figured out what to say, except for her father, she had to make insinuations about her brother and Aunt Xia's thoughts.

"Then I'll find an inn to stay here first, and you go home first." Zhong Liyun saw her embarrassment, and offered a solution to the problem.That is, to temporarily escape the problem.

Although this was the best way, An Lingxue still felt sorry for Zhong Liyun.The person she likes naturally wants to give her the best, but now she can't even take her home.If Zhongliyun were a man, he wouldn't have such troubles.

Before An Lingxue went to the capital, she messed up her marriage with Zhao Xu. Although the two of them planned it together, her brother An Lingchen didn't know about it, and An Lingxue ran away immediately. Not still angry.

But regardless of whether he will be angry or not, An Lingxue will have to tell him when she comes back this time that it is impossible for her to marry Zhao Xu. Perhaps, she will not marry anyone except that person.

A bunch of messy things made her brain ache. She thought that she might as well not go home and go directly to Linshui County with Zhongliyun, but there are some things she has to face.

Moreover, what she was most worried about was Little Yunzi, wondering if it would be bullied.

"Wang-wang-"

Just as she was thinking about it, a dog barking brought her back to her senses. Hearing this familiar voice, it really was...

Wait, what is this yellow blob?It looks like it can still move, so it still has legs, it seems that it is a new one at home... what?An Lingxue was still thinking about what this thing was, but found that the yellow mass was constantly enlarging in front of her eyes.Wait, why did you rush towards me!

"wait wait wait--"

"Wang Wang--!"

The yellow thing lay beside her legs, wagging its tail excitedly, An Lingxue brushed its fur away, and seeing those familiar amber eyes, she had to confirm for herself that it was really her dog.

"Little Yunzi, why have you become so fat! Tell me if someone abused you! Tell me!"

When An Lingchen heard the voice and went out, he wanted to prevent Xiao Yunzi from scaring passers-by, but now he leaned leisurely on the door frame to watch his sister play.The affectionate gaze, and the expression filled with righteous indignation, as if something really happened, made him want to applaud.

certainly not!An Lingchen couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled over there, "Your dog has been abused and can grow up like this!"

"Ahaha, is that right?" An Lingxue stood up and looked this way, she knew her brother was coming, no matter what, after confirming Xiao Yunzi's safety, the next thing to do was to please her elder brother.

Dealing with her brother is also easy, the most important thing is to play dumb!Show off the aura that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, her brother won't do anything to her.

"Yes, yes," but An Lingchen had to take revenge for the scene of unresolved love between human and dog just now, "Axue, remember to return all the money for Xiao Yunzi's chicken legs these days."

"Huh?" An Lingxue blinked.

"Return it all to me." An Lingchen said word by word, without any accommodation, "It's good that I didn't charge you a guard fee, do you know how noisy it can be!"

"Huh?" An Lingxue tilted her head.

"Hehe, very good." An Lingchen nodded approvingly, and then called Xiao Yunzi, "Dinner is ready!"

Xiao Yunzi, who was still rubbing against An Lingxue's feet a moment ago, ran towards An Lingchen, completely forgetting the existence of the original owner.

"You, you, Xiao Yunzi!" An Lingxue called out, not to be outdone.

Little Yunzi turned his head with difficulty, then wagged his tail at An Lingchen.

"Wow - ungrateful dog, who brought you back!" An Lingxue rushed into the gate with a knife in his hand, Xiao Yunzi ran away in fright, An Lingchen who was leaning against the door stretched out his hand and grabbed the knife. The man stopped him and shook his head helplessly, "Have you played enough?"

"Enough." An Lingxue put away the knife silently, as if listening to the teaching.If she failed to pretend to be stupid, her brother would definitely ramble on about a lot of truths.An Lingxue got a headache just thinking about it.

"have you eaten?"

Um?The headache subsided instantly, "No!"

"Then come in and eat first."

"it is good!"

Just tell her, her brother won't do anything to her.

Because the real headaches are yet to come.

It was just after noon, and she had to go to the yamen when she went down to An Lingchen. Her father, An Lingfeng, was also in the yamen. After lunch, only An Lingxue, Xiao Yunzi, and... Chu Yan were left at home.

It's not unusual for Chu Yan to be here. Although her brother took good care of Xiao Yunzi, who didn't dislike him, Chu Yan took good care of the man after all.

An Lingxue also thanked her sincerely, but she was so fat after being taken care of by Chu Yan, I don't know what will happen to Xiao Yunzi if she leaves everything to her brother.Thinking of this, An Lingxue took away half of Xiao Yunzi's lunch, and because of this, Xiao Yunzi pointed her butt at him all afternoon.

At dusk, Chu Yan came again, but her eye circles were red, as if she had cried.

"Ah Yan, what's the matter?" Chu Yan stumbled into her room door, An Lingxue hurriedly stepped forward to help her to sit by the bed.

After settling her down, An Lingxue asked again: "Did Rongrong make you angry again? You don't need to talk to her."

An Lingxue knew that Rong Rong left the day after taking her to Yunshuijian, and Zhong Liyun later told her that she was the one who came back to find Chu Yan.Although the two of them were fighting and fighting, most of them were reasonable, but she couldn't think of anyone else except Rong Rong who could make Chu Yan cry.

"No, it's not her." Chu Yan retorted, and said, "She's fine."

"That is……"

"Axue," Chu Yan leaned forward and hugged her, "I like you."
