421 The ransom (1)

Xu Qi ‘an sat on the big chair, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, “”Tell me.”

Miss Rongrong pursed her red lips and said, “”Lord Xu, since you’ve heard of my name, you must be familiar with the thousand-faced female cat burglar, right?”

“I’ve heard of it.” Xu Qi ‘an touched her chin and looked at her. “You’re saying that the one who stole my treasure was actually the thousand-faced female cat burglar?

“Min yinluo, help me find the information on the female cat burglar.”

Min Shan turned around and instructed the clerk to look for it. After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, the clerk came over with a booklet. He opened the corresponding page and handed it to Xu Qi ‘an.

There wasn’t much information on the thousand-faced female cat burglar. It only recorded that she was a very powerful thief who was a loner and didn’t know her teacher or background. She had committed countless crimes, big and small, and had never been caught.

This record provided Xu Qi ‘an with two pieces of information:First, the other party was not an ordinary thief. He had committed a series of Major Crimes and had never failed.

Second, the female cat burglar was only good at stealing and didn’t have much destructive power. Therefore, the night watchman didn’t pay much attention to her since there were only a few records in the Yamen.

“He’s a very professional cat burglar.” Xu Qi ‘an closed the booklet and returned it to the clerk. He asked Rongrong, who was tied up, ”

“Why did the thousand-faced female cat burglar disguise herself as you?”

who knows? ” miss Rongrong sneered. maybe he’s jealous of me for being so resourceful.

…….. It seemed that they had a fight, so they were retaliated against. Xu Qi ‘an grabbed his saber and hung it back on his waist.”Min yinluo, I’ll leave him to you. You can’t let him go without my permission. It’s useless no matter who comes.”

After that, Xu Qi ‘an rushed out of the Yamen, rode his beloved little mare, and galloped to the outer city.

He had no choice but to ask Daoist priest Golden Lotus for help. Fortunately, he knew where Daoist priest Golden Lotus lived even though he had never been there before.

The sun was gradually moving west, and the curfew would be over in two hours. He had to find the female thief before the curfew and get the fragment of the book of the nether world back. Otherwise, he could only return to the Yamen and ask Wei Yuan to sign an arrest warrant.

Daoist priest Golden Lotus lived in the north of the city, in a small courtyard facing the river. The main feature of the residence was that a tiny Paddy man was standing on the roof of the main house.

When Xu Qi ‘an arrived, he knocked on the door of the courtyard. It was quiet inside, and no one answered.

“The Taoist priest went out?”

Xu Qi ‘an climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. He pushed open the door of the main house. The house was clean and tidy. On the bed, Golden Lotus Daoist priest was lying with a peaceful expression, as if he had passed away.

Xu Qi ‘an called out ” Taoist priest ” a few times, but seeing that he was still asleep, he knew that the old man had gone out on the cat again.

Why did he suddenly develop such a strange habit … What should she do? she didn’t know when the Taoist priest would come back … Xu Qi ‘an frowned and thought for a moment. He had an idea.

He strolled to the side of the bed, raised his hands, and slapped the Taoist priest with both hands.

As a mature senior in the pugilistic world, Daoist priest Golden Lotus should know how to protect his own body. He must have had a backup plan. As long as his body was injured, he would immediately sense it, and even …

“Pa pa pa!”

Only the sound of slapping could be heard in the room.
