I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 153 Knife

When Shen Xiaoye heard his sigh, her instinct told her not to ask or answer questions without authorization, so she looked at her nose with her eyes, and her heart with her nose, and kept her eyes down and silent.

Captain Zhao saw that she was so quick-witted at such a young age. She became alert after just one sentence. Her uncle Shen Changsui flashed through his mind. That boy, who was just fifteen years old, was also very cautious and prudent in front of the emperor.

He changed his strategy and said, "Three of the four thieves who robbed the Wu family last night have been tracked down."

Shen Xiaoye raised her eyes and bowed deeply to express her gratitude, but she didn't say anything.

Captain Zhao didn't need her to say anything, he just said: "The old Mo you suspect, Dada's full name is Mo Rigen, was in the same group with the four thieves last night.

However, he used himself as a diversion to divert our attention so that the four people could leave safely after daybreak.

But the gold and silver that the Wu family had just sent was too attractive, and they were greedy and couldn't help but take it, but they didn't expect this accident to happen."

Shen Xiaoye was totally confused and had no idea what the other party meant by telling her this.

Captain Zhao then explained to her, "They had an injured accomplice with them, and they killed each other because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.

When we tracked them down, two were dead and one was injured, but the most important one, Wang Gu, a servant of the Wu family, has not been caught even after searching the city for half a day."

"Captain Zhao, I don't quite understand." Shen Xiaoye had to answer.

Captain Zhao said with a smile: "I heard that you have a little leopard by your side. I wonder if it can find the Wanggu that it has seen among thousands of people."

"We can give it a try." Shen Xiaoye was not sure about the skill threshold of the little leopard in identifying people, but the little black cat must be able to do it.

But it was a little unusual that the other party revealed the identity of the person just because he arrested him. "I can go now."

Captain Zhao: "No rush, our ultimate goal is to see who he contacts after leaving the city.

So I want you to find him and then find a way to be held hostage by him."

"The four of them couldn't hold me down. Do you think he can catch me alone during the arrest?" Shen Xiaoye thought it was impossible.

Captain Zhao: "You had a knife last night, do you have one now? And you are still injured."

Just from the way she walked, he could tell that the little girl was seriously injured.

"Yes, judging from the wound on the thief's knife, it is a knife used by the imperial guards of the previous dynasty.

Miss Shen, can you show it to me?"

"Please wait a moment." Shen Xiaoye was shocked. After saying so much, the knife is the key, right? Captain Zhao has good tricks.

The sword he was using was indeed the royal guard sword of the previous dynasty. Its blade was extremely thin and sharp, and each sword had a number on it.

Last time, when my uncle helped the Guards find the relics from the previous dynasty, did it arouse some speculations on their part?

Yes, my uncle took the knife to show Mr. Pan, and Captain Zhao might think that my uncle picked up more than one.

Fortunately, I only kept five of them in the space, and after the family made money, the few pieces of brocade given to my grandmother were never shown to outsiders.

However, wherever you go, you will leave traces behind, so after returning home you have to take those pieces of brocade and hide them for yourself.

After she left, Shen Shanyou and Wu Qiye came over and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No, the soldier inside wanted to see the knife I used to kill someone. I wiped it yesterday and threw it in the room." Shen Xiaoye reminded her grandfather in a disguised way that she brought the knife.

When she came, Shen Shanyou didn't know that there was a knife in Xiaoye's bag, but he knew that she had found someone in the capital to shoot a flying knife. But were there any other knives?

However, when questioned by government troops, he had to say that Xiaoye had it.

After he and Master Wu Qi were called in and asked about what happened last night, Captain Zhao indeed mentioned the knife.

Shen Shanyou said ambiguously: "When I was escorting people, I used to bring self-defense items with me when I went out.

When the children go on a long journey, they are always told to take something with them, no matter what it is. "

Captain Zhao asked with a smile: "Oh, is it the broadsword commonly used by escorts?"

"No." Shen Shanyou didn't know how to describe it, so he just said, "My little granddaughter is a girl, and she can't play well with a heavy sword."

Captain Zhao naturally wanted him to explain what kind of knife it was, but at this moment, Shen Xiaoye's voice came from outside: "The knife has been taken, please see it."

In fact, Shen Xiaoye really had a thin-bladed knife, which he bought at a discount from a blacksmith when he was making a flying knife.

And she had thrown it in the space without using it because the knife was a broken knife without sheath and with a gap.

When she was allowed in, she immediately presented the broken knife: "Captain, please look, this is it."

Captain Zhao took it and looked through it, then said, "It's a pity there's a cut on it, otherwise it would be a sharp blade.

This sword should have been made by a craftsman from the previous dynasty. I wonder if Miss Shen is willing to part with it?"

"No." Shen Xiaoye refused flatly, "I bought it home just because I like it."

She took out a few three-inch thin willow-leaf knives and said, "You can choose from these."

"Forget it, I won't take away what you love.

Zhang Hu, you are responsible for Miss Shen's safety." Captain Zhao waved his hand, and a young man in plain clothes came out from among the people he led in the courtyard.

Shen Xiaoye felt that he looked familiar. After taking a closer look, she realized that she had seen him last year because of Lu Guan.

She talked a few words to her grandfather, then went back, picked up the two kids and left with Zhang Hu.

Meanwhile, Master Wu Qi, who had been in a state of anxiety, suddenly said after Captain Zhao left: "Brother Shen, I just saw that Miss Shen seemed to know that Captain.

But shouldn't I be the one to help arrest people? How can I find your child?"

His family has always been a timid bunch, and if it weren't for the patrolling soldiers last night, he would not want to have anything to do with the government.

Losing some gold and silver was not a big deal, but attracting the attention of the Guard Bureau made him extremely panic-stricken. Was there something here that he didn't know?

The government guarded the separate courtyard and separated him from the buyers.

"Maybe he's using Xiaoye's leopard to find someone." This was Shen Shanyou's guess.

Master Wu Qi was paying attention to something else. He thought for a moment and made up his mind: "Brother Shen, can you introduce me to that centurion?"

"Brother Wu, you..."

"I think Lao Mo's disappearance is not simple."

"But I don't recognize the captain just now. Why don't we wait for Xiaoye to come back?"

"Okay, please lend a helping hand, brother. The Wu family will be grateful."

"You're too kind." Shen Shanyou had no doubt that Master Wu Qi had discovered something. After all, the other party was in charge of several shops.

But he really didn't know Captain Zhao, and Xiao Ye... Alas... He had to go and talk to Taoist Hengxi, who made pills, to see if he could help make some self-defense poison for Xiao Ye.

Shen Xiaoye hoped to find the person as soon as possible so as not to make her grandfather worry, so she followed Zhang Hu to the streets and alleys designated by the Guard Bureau and immediately told Little Black Cat to look around.

"Meow." I feel like there are several people following us quietly, please be careful.

"Be good, go ahead." She knew that it was the Ti cavalry from the Guard Bureau hiding in the dark. She held the little leopard in her arms and walked through the alleys one by one.

After searching for an hour with no results, Shen Xiaoye said, "Brother, it would be faster for us to wait at the city gate instead of searching like this."
