Chapter 286 The Embroidery Thief
The Embroidered Thief?
Su Shaoying's eyes flashed. He was thinking about going to Jiuhua Mountain to observe this case in a few days. He didn't expect to meet the real culprit so soon?
His footsteps suddenly lightened, and he flashed through the woods at high speed, and then quickly came to the place where the scream came from.
Su Shaoying quietly poked his head out and saw the back of a horse carrying a box and riding away, and three escorts covering their eyes and screaming on the official road outside the forest.
What a fast move!
It took only one minute from the scream to Su Shaoying's appearance. Jin Jiuling didn't stay at the scene for long. He blinded the person and immediately ran away with the things.
"It's worthy of being the top master of the Six Gates in 300 years. It's really extraordinary."
Jin Jiuling's martial arts are definitely not weak. Just from the fact that he didn't expose his martial arts at all, but could use the embroidery needle to blind so many masters in three or two moves, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the top masters in the world.
Well... maybe a little too much?
Su Shaoying watched him disappear into the distance in a big red coat and shook her head, "I guess he is just at the level of a top-level goalkeeper, about the same as Gongsun Da Niang?"
Although they didn't fight, Su Shaoying knew very well that Jin Jiuling would never beat Dugu Yihe, because Lu Xiaofeng was afraid of Dugu Yihe, but not afraid of Jin Jiuling at all, and Jin Jiuling really couldn't beat Lu Xiaofeng.
As for myself...
Why should I fight if someone else is fighting?
Su Shaoying:
Su Shaoying leaped lightly and flew to the official road, picking up a handkerchief that fell on the ground. On the red satin, there was a black peony embroidered.
"Who?" A man with two lines of blood and tears on his face heard Su Shaoying's movement, holding an arc sword in his hand, turned over and shouted sternly.
"Emei Su Shaoying." Su Shaoying said.
The man shuddered when he heard the words, "Is it Su Shaoying, one of the three heroes and four beauties of Emei, Su Erxia?"
"It's me. I don't know what your name is. Is there someone robbing the escort?" Su Shaoying asked knowingly.
"Just now there was a man in purple clothes. Did you see him?" the man asked in a trembling voice.
Su Shaoying told the truth, "I only saw a back figure."
"Brother..." The other two men were martial artists after all. They stopped crying and asked tentatively.
"I am Pei Yun from Xixiang Escort Agency. I have seen... Su Erxia." The man holding the curved sword said this with a choked voice, but he was already desperate in his heart because he would never see him again.
"So it's Chief Escort Pei." Su Shaoying nodded. He had heard of this name before. He was a top figure in the Sanxiang martial arts world, but unfortunately the gap between him and Jin Jiuling was too big. "What happened just now?"
...
A few days ago, the three brothers Pei Yun from the Xixiang Escort Agency took over a batch of red goods to be delivered from Sanxiang to Yunnan. As a result, they encountered an accident just after leaving Hunan and entering Sichuan.
"The other party is a man wearing a purple cotton jacket and a beard." Pei Yun said with lingering fear, "He blocked the middle of the road and sat there embroidering."
"We wanted him to give way, but he said we could give way, but we had to wait until he finished embroidering..." Another person's voice was trembling, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his eyes, "Three blind men finished embroidering!"
"The weapon he used was an embroidery needle." Pei Yun said in a deep voice, "His martial arts was too high, I didn't see his move clearly, and his eyes... eyes were blinded!"
At this time, Su Shaoying had stopped a passing ox cart, let the three blind escorts sit on it, tied two horses behind, and went all the way east.
"Yeah." Su Shaoying nodded, holding the square of satin in his hand, and he couldn't tell that it was a shoe upper. "It seems that the other party is still a great master. This kind of master will not be nameless."
"Which celebrity do you think he is disguised as?" Pei Yun asked.
"Purple cotton jacket, beard, isn't it obvious?" Su Shaoying said.
Pei Yun, "..."
He really didn't expect this, "You are worthy of being an Emei swordsman, you are thoughtful, Pei admires you!"
Speaking of this, Pei Yun was silent, but one of his brothers said with resentment, "Which Jianghu celebrity is short of money and disguised himself to rob people on the road, we must find out about this!"
"You are useless, and Xixiang Escort Agency is finished. We have lost this escort trip, and it's time to return to our hometown to retire. What are you still investigating!" The third person said with despair.
Pei Yun and another person also fell silent again.
The three heroes of the Pei family have been in the martial arts world for twenty years and have built a Xixiang Escort Agency. Now that they have been abolished, there will be no three people in the martial arts world in the future.
Su Shaoying did not comfort them. Jianghu disciples are old in the world of Jianghu. He has already known very well in the world of "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword". As long as you come out to mix in the martial arts world, there is no innocent, and it is not unfair to be chopped by others at any time.
What's more, the three brothers of the Pei family originally ate this bowl of rice.
Su Shaoying helped send the three brothers back to Xixiang Escort Agency, but because they didn't know who the murderer was, Xixiang Escort Agency couldn't pay the money, so he also followed the owner and Pei Yun to visit the government office.
He also handed over the piece of satin in his hand.
"Didn't Su Erxia see the true face of the Embroidered Thief?" asked the head of the police.
Su Shaoying raised his head when he heard it, "Do you know me?"
Pei Yun just mentioned Su Shaoying's name, but didn't say his identity.
"I am Peng Zhan, and I am currently working for the Six Gates. The three heroes and four beauties of Emei are famous all over the world, and I have heard of them for a long time." The head of the police bowed respectfully.
Su Shaoying understood.
Some local heads of police have little contact with the underworld and do not have a wide range of knowledge, but the Six Gates deal with people from the underworld, and it is absolutely impossible not to know the news of the underworld.
"I didn't see it, I was still late." Su Shaoying stared at Peng Zhan and smiled slightly, "I only saw a back figure, it was indeed a man wearing a purple cotton jacket, and he rode away a horse from the Xixiang Escort Agency."
Peng Zhan said, "The horse and the box were found, but the batch of goods in the box had disappeared long ago."
The Xixiang Escort Agency was escorting a batch of hot goods. There were not many things, only a one-foot square box, but the value was not less at all, a full 200,000 taels of silver.
Su Shaoying asked again, "You just said that the man was the Embroidery Thief. Could it be that this is not his first crime?"
Peng Zhan nodded and said in a deep voice, "This man appeared a month ago and committed more than a dozen crimes in the southeast. I didn't expect him to flee to the southwest."
"How many crimes can he commit in a month?" Su Shaoying asked.
"He appears almost every three days, embroidering a few blind men and taking away a batch of property." Peng Zhan paused with a heavy voice, and then turned to be proud, "This man is too rampant. I heard that the chief constable has invited General Jin to arrest him!"
