Chapter 737 Catching the Thief

When they got to the house, Yu Yonggui slammed the table in anger: "I said that the little fat guy doesn't look like a good person!"

The older Xingxing gets, the more cheerful she becomes.

The originally cute little face gradually showed an expression of love and devotion.

After changing the carriage, Xingxing used the potion she prepared to conceal her appearance, but she didn't expect that even after doing this, there were still scoundrels who were plotting something bad!

Yu Yonggui slammed the table again. They were all lechers who should be sent to the torture chamber of Chaoyang Tower! His sister had to hide her face and act cautiously!

To put it another way, maybe the place where these lechers should go is not the torture chamber in Chaoyang Building, but the purification chamber in the Palace!

Yu Yonggui was still cursing, but Xingxing was already laying out the pictures on the table. She skillfully changed the subject from personal matters and said, "Fourth brother, come and see."

Xing Xing pointed to a mountain near the south of the city and said, "This is the highest mountain nearby. Let's pretend to go for an outing tomorrow and go take a look at this mountain."

Yu Yonggui also turned off the fire a little, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."

However, Yu Yonggui did not expect that the next day when they climbed to the small pavilion on the top of the mountain and were about to take a good look at the surrounding mountains, they saw the little fat man from the inn yesterday suddenly jump out of the pavilion.

The rosy little round face was full of surprise: "Girl, I didn't expect we meet again!"

Yu Yonggui's back teeth were itching, and his hands began to touch the soft sword at his waist.

Xing Xing was quick to grab Yu Yonggui's hand, smiled at the fat boy, and said kindly, "Sir, are you here for an outing as well?"

Yu Yonggui's behavior fits the image of a brother who cherishes his younger sister.

Even the little fat boy was a little afraid of him.

The little fat man smiled at Yu Yonggui in a flattering way and moved closer: "Yes, yes, the spring scenery is so beautiful, so I brought my entourage and thought of going out for an outing..."

Yu Yonggui said with a sullen face: "I'm just afraid that someone has ulterior motives and is deliberately following me."

The little fat boy waved his hands excitedly: "That can't be done, that can't be done..."

The little fat man's followers also said excitedly: "What are you talking about! Our young master is the only son of Anjiang Zhizhou! How could he do such a thing as stalking people!"

Yu Yonggui and Xingxing glanced at each other inconspicuously.

This little fat boy is actually the only son of the Anjiang prefect, Pang Jinkang?

Before Yu Yonggui and Xingxing entered Anjiang, they naturally checked the conditions of the homes of several important officials in Anjiang.

For example, the magistrate of Anjiang had a relatively simple family situation, with only a wife and one son in his house.

The one in question is naturally Pang Jinkang in front of him.

Xing Xing knelt slightly towards Pang Jinkang and said, "So you are the son of the prefect."

She showed just the right amount of caution and a little attentiveness that was in line with the attitude of an ordinary rich girl when she hears about the powerful.

Yu Yonggui also snorted, his expression eased a little, and he said nothing more.

Pang Jinkang noticed the change in the other party's mood and was somewhat happy: "Where are you from? Anjiang is not a big place. This is the first time I have seen a girl."

Xing Xing then explained their identities that had been arranged long ago: "...my brother and I are from Jiyang City, 300 miles away. Our surname is Feng and our family is engaged in business. My brother and I are out here to travel and enjoy the scenery."

Pang Jinkang was very polite. He bowed to Yu Yonggui first, then to Xing Xing. "So you are Mr. Feng and Miss Feng... It's fate that we meet. I have made some tea here. Would you two please do me the honor of drinking some tea together?"

Xingxing deliberately showed a somewhat hesitant look and looked at Yu Yonggui.

Yu Yonggui frowned and seemed to hesitate for a while, but finally agreed: "Since Master Pang has said so, I'd better obey your command respectfully."

Pang Jinkang was overjoyed and treated Xingxing and Yu Yonggui as honored guests, inviting them to sit in the small pavilion on the top of the mountain.

Pang Jinkang really wanted to talk to Xingxing more, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous and scare the beauty, so he could only chat with Yu Yonggui.

Yu Yonggui was born in Chaoyang Building and often changed his identity to go out on missions. He was very good at speaking different words to different people. After these two cups of tea, Pang Jinkang had already regarded Yu Yonggui as his close friend.

The two of them called each other "Brother Feng" and "Brother Pang" in a very affectionate manner.

The two were talking excitedly when Yu Yonggui suddenly pointed at the mountains and exclaimed "Huh".

There, one could vaguely see a group of people moving through the mountains and forests.

"Who are those people? They look strange and they don't look like a caravan." Yu Yonggui looked curious.

Pang Jinkang took a quick look, carefully identified him for a while, then said "Oh", and smiled innocently: "That's my family's servant. My uncle's family was robbed, and the thief ran into the forest. My father couldn't be partial to send the yamen runners to look for him, so he sent this team of servants to help my uncle find him."

After hearing what Pang Jinkang said, his followers were a little nervous: "Young Master! The old master said..."

Pang Jinkang waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. Brother Feng and Miss Feng are not outsiders. Besides, my father didn't want others to know because his position as prefect is sensitive and he was afraid that others would say he was abusing his power for personal gain. Now Brother Feng and Miss Feng and I hit it off right away. Let's make it clear that this is a servant in our house, not a government servant, so he won't cause any trouble."

Pang Jinkang smiled at Yu Yonggui again and said, "Brother Feng, Miss Feng, you won't misunderstand my father, right?"

Yu Yonggui and Xing Xing both concealed the surprise in their eyes very well.

Yu Yonggui looked nonchalant, "I think Brother Pang is just too cautious. You said it yourself, it was your uncle's family that had a thief. Your father is the prefect, and the yamen runners under his command have the responsibility to catch thieves. So what if he sent yamen runners to look for him? What's more, he only sent his own servants. It's nothing."

Pang Jinkang agreed with this and felt that what his brother Feng said was absolutely right.

"But I don't know where that thief is hiding." Pang Jinkang frowned, "We've been looking for him for quite a while, I'm afraid he escaped a long time ago."

Yu Yonggui also offered some advice: "How about finding someone who knows the thief, drawing a portrait, posting it, and distributing it outside the city?"

Pang Jinkang's round face showed some emotion: "Brother Feng and I really have similar views. I also suggested this to my father, but he simply wouldn't listen... Forget it, these things are quite boring, let's not talk about them."

Yu Yonggui laughed: "That's right. Facing this mountain and this scenery, talking about those mundane things is really a bit unfair to the beautiful scenery in front of us. Come on, Brother Pang, let's enjoy the mountains and water!"

The topic of the two people returned to mountains and rivers.

Xingxing would occasionally share a few of her own opinions, which made Pang Jinkang so excited that his face flushed and his heart was pounding!
