Chapter 1022

The next morning, Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng went through the check-out procedures.

They left Fufeng city in the face of the cold wind.

Above the city wall, a military general was staring at the departure direction of Yulin guards until the back of the pedestrian completely disappeared at the end of his sight. The military general just took back his sight.

He called in a soldier and whispered.

"Go to the prefect's house and say that those Shengjing people have gone."

"Here!"

The soldiers quickly ran down the city wall, turned over and rode on the fast horse, and went straight to the sheriff's house all the way.

In the sheriff's house, Jian Shujie picked his eyebrow and smiled when he learned that Yu Linwei had left the city.

After the spy came back last night, he relayed the dialogue between Shang Kui and Wen old city word for word.

At that time, Jian Shujie was still a little skeptical.

He felt that Shang Kui and Wen's old city would not give up so easily, especially Wen's old city, which seemed to have a deep mind and didn't look like a person who could be dismissed easily.

Unless

It was Wen Jiucheng who noticed something, but was afraid of startling the snake, so he deliberately swaggered out of the city to create the illusion that they had left.

After their opponents relax their vigilance, they dress up and sneak into the city to kill back.

This meticulous and circuitous work style is really in line with the feeling of Wen old city.

Jian Shujie curled his lips and sneered. He hates people who like to be smart.

Where does Wen Jiucheng think Fufeng city is? Come and go if you want. Dream!

Still want to kill a horse gun?

Absolutely not!

Jian Shujie called Chang Shi and said.

"After the order, we will strengthen the guard of all city gates from today. We must strictly investigate outsiders entering the city. If anyone is found suspicious, they will be locked in prison as detailed work!"

"Here!"

Fufeng city has four gates, including two large gates and two small gates.

After receiving the order from the sheriff, all the four city gates began martial law.

When the night was getting dark, Jian Shujie washed and went to bed after dinner as usual.

He was sleepy when he suddenly heard a cry outside.

"There are thieves! Come on! There are thieves in the house!"

Jian Shujie suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He quickly opened the quilt and sat up. He casually pulled the coat hanging at the head of the bed and put it on. He didn't even have time to wear socks, so he pulled his shoes and rushed out.

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind poured into the house, which made him shiver.

But he didn't care so much and ran out with the cold.

It happened that the housekeeper led the party here.

Jian Shujie grabbed the housekeeper and asked fiercely.

"What's the matter? Why are there thieves in the mansion?"

The housekeeper obviously just got up from bed, didn't wear his clothes, and his hair was messy.

He said quickly.

"I don't know the details. I only know that there are thieves in the house.

Now all the guards in the mansion have moved, and everyone is tracking down the thief's whereabouts.

It's very cold outside. Please go back to the house and stay.

We will stay here to protect your safety.

If so many guards catch a thief, they will be able to catch people soon. Adults don't have to worry. "

Jian Shujie only wore a coat. The winter night was cold. He just stood outside for a while, and his hands and feet were numb with cold.

He turned back to the warm room.

Before the thief was caught, Jian Shujie was completely sleepless.

He dressed up his clothes, shoes and socks at the service of his servants.

It's late at night, but the lights in the sheriff's house are still bright. There are running figures everywhere in the house. You can hear shouts from time to time, which is even more lively than the temple fair during the new year.

Jian Shujie waited patiently for some time, but he didn't wait until the news of catching the thief came.

He asked, frowning as his patience ran out.

"Didn't you say there was only one thief? Why haven't you caught it yet?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "I'll ask now. Sir, please wait a moment."

He ran out in a hurry and came back soon.

"Sir, the thief hid after he was found. The guards searched the whole sheriff's house and couldn't find the thief. What's more strange is that nothing was lost in the house, and they don't know what the thief was trying to do."

In the end, the housekeeper thought it was strange.

Jian Shujie didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly changed.

He asked anxiously, "have the guards searched the West courtyard?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "no, the West hospital is where the lady lives. The lady is seriously ill. The doctor said she must rest. The guards are afraid to scare the lady. No one dares to enter the West hospital."

Jian Shujie scolded low: "that dog day must be in the west yard!"

He pushed the housekeeper away, got up and rushed out.

The housekeeper was stunned by the sudden move of the sheriff.

But he quickly reacted and hurried up with a group of servants.

"Sir, please slow down. The road is slippery in dark. Be careful to fall!"

Jian Shujie is dying of anxiety now. Where else is he in the mood to slide the pipeline?!

He almost tried his best to nurse and ran all the way to the West courtyard.

At this time, the gate of the West courtyard was closed, and several guards were wandering outside the West courtyard. Obviously, they wanted to go in and search, but they were afraid to disturb their wife. They hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to do.

The guards saw the sheriff suddenly appear and hurriedly knelt on one knee.

"My subordinates, meet the sheriff!"

Without looking at the guards, Jian Shujie strode forward and slapped the gate of the West courtyard.

Soon the gate was opened.

The woman who opened the door was a rough envoy. In fact, she had heard the noise outside. She knew that there was a thief in the house. She was afraid that the thief would break into the West courtyard. She closed the courtyard door at the first time and locked it from the inside.

At this time, seeing the sheriff coming in person, the woman was like seeing the Savior. She fell on her knees with a plop.

Jian Shujie asked sternly, "did the thief enter the West courtyard?"

The woman shook her head quickly without thinking.

"No! My maidservant has been here all the time. I didn't see anyone enter the West courtyard."

Jian Shujie asked, "where's your wife?"

Woman: "madam is still sleeping."

Jian Shujie strode into the West courtyard and went straight to the bedroom of the main house.

The door of the bedroom was tightly closed, and there was a little servant girl at the door.

The servant girl was still sleepy. Suddenly, she saw the sheriff rush over with a large group of people. She was scared away from sleep.

She quickly bent her knees and saluted: "I'll see the sheriff!"

Jian Shujie looked at the closed door and asked in a low voice.

"Madam is still resting?"

The servant girl nodded vigorously, "yes."

Jian Shujie: "has anyone else been here?"

The servant girl quickly shook her head: "no!"

Jian Shujie was a little relieved.

But to be on the safe side, he decided to go in and have a look in person.
