Two people in black night clothes jumped over the wall, lightly landed in the shadow of the bottom of the wall, and gestured to each other.Today I saw that Li Yuhan gave King Jian a lot of banknotes, but he left in a hurry. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Because the city is looking for thieves recently and there is a curfew at night, the two martial arts guards are now in the patrol camp.As long as Li Yuhan is not around, this palace will be like paper to them.

Looking around, they found the way to the main courtyard. The two climbed onto the roof, ran quickly along the ridge, and arrived at the courtyard where Chen Ziqi lived.

There was no sound in the courtyard, the windows were half open, and the house was pitch black.The two cooperated tacitly, one stepped forward to remove the wooden prop supporting the window, and the other quickly caught the window that was about to fall and let his partner turn over and enter, without making the slightest sound from the beginning to the end.

People who have been groping in the dark all year round will have better night vision than ordinary people. With the help of the faint moonlight, they can touch the ancient shelf and look for the box where the bank notes are stored.This palace is also poor enough, there are only a few books on the shelf, a celadon incense burner, and not even a decent jade ornament.

"Brother, what are you looking for?" The hoarse voice of the boy in the voice-changing period suddenly sounded, scaring the little thief in front of the Bogu rack into a shudder, and almost exclaimed.

The thief turned around and left, Chen Ziqi lifted the curtain of the bed and rushed over.He couldn't see clearly in the dark, the thief only felt a gust of wind rushing towards him, and then hit him hard on his chest. Before his luck and internal force counteracted, he was shot flying out of the window, directly through the window and fell into the yard.

The companions in the yard knew they were about to suffer when they heard the exclamation, so they turned and ran.

"Om--" The buzzing sound of the sharp sword piercing through the air came, and the thief hurriedly stepped back a few steps, narrowly avoiding the edge of the sword and avoiding his head being cut off.However, the sword's momentum did not end with one stroke, but like flowing water in the mountains, falling three times, the sword quickly returned when it reached the end, and slapped him with a "slap".

The sword energy containing powerful internal force split the night clothes, and at the same time slapped the man firmly to the ground.

Chen Ziqi lit the candles in the room, illuminating the surroundings.He only wore an underwear, and stood barefoot on the cold ground. He felt cold at this moment, and couldn't help curling his toes.

Dan Yi jumped off the bed, walked over quickly, and picked up Chen Ziqi, "Why don't you wear shoes?" He himself was naked from the upper body, only wearing a pair of scarlet trousers.

"I'm catching a thief, I don't have the time to wear it." Chen Ziqi secretly touched the tactile chest, jumped down, put on his shoes, put on a coat casually, and went out.

When the door was opened, the light inside the room immediately came out, illuminating the faces in the courtyard.The person holding the sword was Li Yuhan who was supposed to have left.

When the two thieves saw Li Yuhan's face clearly, their legs softened immediately.The movement here also alarmed the guards of the palace, who ran in with a lantern and surrounded the two thieves secretly.

"My lord, what should I do?" The guard looked at Chen Ziqi.

Li Yuhan put his sword back into its sheath, feeling a little lost in spirit.I thought it was some kind of martial arts master, but it turned out to be completely vulnerable.

Chen Ziqi looked curiously at the two people who were covering their wounds in silence. They were both about 30 years old, with small eyes and sharp mouths, and wicked eyebrows. He stood up straight, raised his chin slightly and said, "You two are late at night Breaking into the palace, but intending to assassinate the king?"

"No, no, it's not to assassinate the prince, the two of us just want to find some money." The person who was slapped by Chen Ziqi looked at Chen Ziqi with some fear.Didn't it mean that no one in the royal family knows martial arts except the King of Anhui?Why is King Jian's martial arts so powerful? His internal organs are throbbing and hurting at the moment, obviously he was injured internally.

"Looking for money, did you find it in the palace?" Chen Ziqi laughed angrily.

"Stealing from the rich and helping the poor, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, is the righteousness of the world," another person said righteously, covering the sword wound on his shoulder, "The prince only knows how to enjoy the glory and wealth in this Jianyang city, but he knows that people starve to death every day in the suburbs." The prince is the vassal king here, but he doesn’t care about the life and death of the people. The two of us can’t stand it, so we can only borrow a few taels of silver from the prince to save those who are dying of starvation.”

What he said was logical, as if it was justice for them to steal things, and Chen Ziqi didn't obediently give them the money to steal because he was rich and unkind.

Chen Ziqi smacked his lips, the ability of Jianghu people to open their eyes and tell lies is really worth learning, "Since that's the case, I won't kill you, I will go to the yamen palace tomorrow, and you can explain this truth to Fu Yin again." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the guards to guard the two of them and send them to the yamen tomorrow morning.

It is very easy to kill these two people, but these two thieves are still very useful, Chen Ziqi is not willing to kill them just like that.

"The two of us are disciples of Lushan Mountain, you can't send us to the Yamen!" When the man holding his shoulder said this, he obviously lacked confidence, and took a peek at Li Yuhan's expression.

Lushan disciple?Li Yuhan frowned, and walked in front of the two, "Who are you from?"

The two looked at each other, then quickly knelt up and kowtowed to Li Yuhan, calling them uncle.The two of them are the famous swordsman Liang Shangfei in Jianyang. They were originally the outer disciples of Mount Lu, but because of their inexperienced skills, they were not able to become direct disciples.

The direct disciples of the inner sect are meant to stay in the sect, and the disciples of the outer sect are, to put it bluntly, nominal servants, doing chores and learning kung fu for the sect.Chen Ziqi's uncle, Chang Sheng, is an outer disciple of the Vajra Sect.

"As a disciple of the Lushan School, you actually came out to do evil, and I will take you back tomorrow, and the sect will deal with it." Li Yuhan clenched the scabbard tightly, very angry.

When the two heard that they were going back to the Lushan School, they both heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Uncle, this can't be done," Chen Ziqi stretched out his hand and stopped Li Yuhan, "If something happens in Jianyang, you have to follow the rules here. No matter which sect you are, if you break the law, you have to send it to the yamen. deal with it!"

Early the next morning, someone rang the drum in front of the Yamen of Jianyang Mansion.

The incompetent Jianyang of the government has not heard the sound of grievance drums for many years.The people came over curiously, probed their brains, and found that the drummer was the guard of the palace, and they couldn't help being even more surprised.

The heavy wooden door creaked open, and the yawning servant walked out of the door, "Who is playing the drums?"

"We are the guards of Prince Jian's mansion. Last night, we caught two thieves. The prince asked us to send them over." The four tall and burly guards carried two heavily tied men and said.

Hearing that it was sent by the prince, the yamen servant immediately woke up, turned around and trotted back to report.

Ascension hall, interrogation.

Chen Ziqi was wearing a moon-white prince's dress, sitting leisurely on the side.Fu Yin hadn't been promoted for a long time, so he carefully recalled the order of promotion, and then he raised his hand to look for the gavel, but found that there was no gavel on the table.

"Master!" Fu Yin called out, and when the master looked over, he whispered, "Where's my gavel?"

The master was stunned for a moment while holding the brush, and pointed to the small piece of polished wood that was placed on the corner of the table.

Chen Ziqi glanced at it indifferently, took out a handful of melon seeds from his sleeve, and kowtowed one to the little red bird protruding from his skirt.

Seeing that the prince didn't pay attention to him, Fu Yin hurriedly called two yamen servants to come over and take out the gavel, and found a brick to support the lame table. Then he straightened his clothes and slapped the gavel on the table, " Church!"

"Shengtang——" the yamen servants holding black and red lacquered sticks shouted in unison, hitting the ground with their sticks.

The common people gathered outside to watch the excitement, but Chen Ziqi didn't allow the yamen servants to stop him, instead he let them in and stood outside the hall.

The two confessed to the theft, and also admitted that they were responsible for the recent thefts in the city, but insisted that they were robbing the rich and helping the poor.

"Is this the Rogue Liang Shangyan?"

"Tsk tsk, you look like a thief."

"Don't talk nonsense, he is a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor!"

"Bah! What is stealing from the rich and helping the poor? I'm so poor, why do you still steal from me?" The owner of the stewed meat shop heard that the prince had caught the thief, and gave the shop to his mother-in-law to watch, and ran to the yamen.When he heard someone speak for the two thieves, he immediately choked back. Then, he raised his head to look at the young man sitting beside Fu Yin, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The young man was wearing a moon-white prince's dress, which was embroidered with shining silver thread dragons, bright moonlight, and burning jade trees. His natural dignity and majesty were not diminished by his sloppy sitting posture.No need to ask, this is Chen Ziqi, the vassal prince of Jianyang.

Isn't this person the horse-leading boy who he gave a pot of marinade a few days ago?The owner of the braised meat shop almost exclaimed, and finally knew why he was exempted from rent, it was all because of a small unintentional act of himself that day.

Chen Ziqi listened to the two people talking about the so-called righteousness, stuffed the little red bird into his clothes, got up and walked in front of the two of them, "Your so-called robbing the rich and helping the poor, this king sounds reasonable, how about this, ask the yamen servant to bring you Let you go to the outside of the city to identify, find out the money you stole these days, if you give it to the poor, you can reduce the punishment, how about it?"

When the two heard this, their bodies stiffened involuntarily.Chen Ziqi did not give them a chance to repent, and asked the master to write down the property reported by the people in the city in recent days, and hand it to the yamen servant to take it out for identification.

After walking for a whole day, only two families were found. The ones who were found looked blank and said that they had only received a few pennies.The lost things were not found, and the two were beaten up by the yamen servants, and then they changed their words, saying that the things they had stolen were hidden in an old house in the city before they had time to distribute them to the common people.

Chen Ziqi rubbed his chin, "Since you think what you are doing is the righteousness of a chivalrous man, why don't you go parade tomorrow and see if the people in the city will appreciate you?"

The next day, the two tied ropes were led by the yamen servants to walk around Jianyang City, beating the gong and shouting, "This is the thieves Liang Youde and Qin Fei. As a punishment!"

The bang bang bang echoed in the east and west streets, and the common people looked at the disgraced two with complicated and unspeakable feelings in their hearts.How many years have I not seen the steward of the yamen!

I don't know who started it and threw a rotten vegetable leaf at the two of them. Many people followed suit and threw the things they didn't use at hand.If there are no vegetable leaves or rotten eggs, just spit.

"Hey! What a grand thief, he is a thief who knows martial arts!" The owner of the lo mei shop picked up a basin of blood from washing pork and splashed it out.These unarmed common people have been oppressed by the Jianghu people who know martial arts for so many years, and they have nowhere to sue for grievances. They can only steal or rob, and today they can finally avenge themselves.

The people cheered while throwing things.The matter in Jianyang City is actually in accordance with the Dazhang Code. No matter how high or low the family background is, regardless of the level of martial arts, if you break the law, you will be arrested and punished. This kind of Jianyang makes the people really feel safe. .

Chen Ziqi stood on the third floor of Fengling, looked at the situation below, and smiled slightly.This is his purpose, to kill one to warn others, to let the common people know that in Jianyang City, only the rules are respected, not the family background.Mr. Luo said that only by governing the country according to the law rather than martial arts, can the country have hope.
