The An family's house occupies a large area, and the wall built to prevent theft is almost one foot high. It is not easy for thieves to climb over the wall and steal things.

Moreover, the An family has a large family of four or five people living together, bought a dozen slaves, and raised two dogs by the koi pond. Even if a thief can break in, it will be difficult for him to steal.

The bad thing was that the theater troupe was about to leave, and everyone in the An family went to the rice field to watch the show. There were only a few slaves guarding the house. When the master was not around, a few slaves hid in the corner to bask in the sun, not wanting to catch thieves.

He is so bold that he will break in and steal things in broad daylight.

The thieves had already set foot on the ground and waited until An's family was at its smallest. In order not to disturb the two guard dogs, they deliberately bypassed the koi pond and climbed in from an uninhabited corner on the west by climbing a big tree.

An's yard.

These thieves were none other than Wang Mazi and others who had recently gone to the Qin family to steal things. The Qin family found out and punished them severely.

Looking at the empty house, Wang Mazi's eyes flashed with greed, and he pointed to the cave door and said: "Go out from here and turn right to reach the main house. Ding San and Hou Liu come with me, and you can go to other houses.

Look for it and grab it with something light and valuable."

"Okay, just do what Brother Wang said." Ding San and Hou Liu had no objections, and the other three did not dare to say anything even if they had objections.

Wang Mazi's eyes swept over the faces of the three people, and he reminded sternly: "No matter whether we get something valuable or not, we must gather here after burning incense. We must leave before the An family comes back."

Ding San and others immediately said: "Brother Wang, don't worry, brothers all know the importance."

In the past, these people would never have dared to think about Anjia. When Anjia was doing business in the city, all the people who came and went were wealthy families.

As the saying goes, money can make people go around. They were afraid of stealing Anjia's things, so Anjia was angry and spent money and connections to catch them. But I don't know what's going on recently, whether they steal chickens in the countryside or go to the city.

Touching someone's money bag is like offending the God of Wealth, but you never succeed.

Even though they were quick to see the opportunity and escaped in time when they were discovered, they were caught twice and had to use the usual methods to escape, otherwise their hands and feet would have been broken long ago.

The Chinese New Year was about to come, and a few people who had no money in their pockets for days could no longer hold it in any longer. After some discussion, they decided to do something big and go back to the village with the money they received to live happily.

In a good year, if you are lucky, you won't have to worry about money in the coming year.

It happened that the An family invited an opera troupe to perform in the village. They realized that the opportunity had come and set their sights on the big fat sheep of the An family.

After saying what needed to be said, the six of them were like rats in a rice vat, searching for valuable items everywhere, and in less than half an hour they had stolen a few luggage items.

Most of what Wang Mazi and the other three stole in the main house were gold, silver and valuable items. The other three were not so lucky. After searching several houses in succession, they only found a few taels of broken silver.

The satin was stuffed into the bag, hoping to get some money in exchange.

Guessing that it was time to burn a stick of incense, the six of them carried their bags and arrived at the west courtyard smoothly.

Wang Mazi's baggage was the most valuable, and the others were the first to help him climb the big tree. Just when Wang Mazi was about to jump on the courtyard wall to escape, his legs suddenly cramped and he couldn't bear the strength. Ding San and others screamed

He fell heavily from a tree more than ten feet high.

"Ouch——" Wang Mazi screamed, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Brother Wang, are you okay?" Ding San was startled and rushed over to cover Wang Mazi's mouth, fearing that his yelling would attract the left-behind servants.

"Leg, my leg is broken..." Feeling the severe pain from his left leg, Wang Mazi looked at Ding San in horror and grabbed his hand: "Quick, take me out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Ding San's eyes fell on the baggage carried by Wang Mazi, and his expression changed: "Brother Wang, give me your things first. We will throw the things outside first, and then we will find a way to get you out."

"No, you have to get me out first!" Wang Mazi is not stupid. At this critical moment, he will not trust anyone: "Hurry up, if we continue to delay, the An family will come back, and then none of us will

Don’t even think about running away!”

Hearing the threat in Wang Mazi's words, Ding San secretly gritted his teeth and growled at the stupid Hou Liusi and the others: "What are you still doing standing around? Quickly find a way to get Brother Wang out!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Liusi and four others looked at each other and saw something different in each other's eyes.

"Brother Wang, is your leg really broken? If you don't stand up and try to walk, maybe it's just twisted." Hou Liu suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to help Wang Mazi up: "This courtyard wall is too high.

, it won’t be easy for us to get you out without disturbing anyone.”

Wang Mazi also couldn't believe Hou Liu, and said with a pale face: "It's broken. Please help me get some ropes. Then you will stand on the courtyard wall and pull me up from below."

Hou Liupi smiled but said: "Brother Wang is still smart, he thought of a way so quickly."

Seeing that his tone was wrong, Wang Mazi suddenly became wary: "Then why don't you go quickly?"

Hou Liu nodded, seriously put down the baggage on his back and turned around to find the rope.

Just when Wang Mazi thought he was overthinking, Hou Liu took advantage of his unpreparedness and strangled his neck with both hands, preventing him from making any sound: "Brother Wang, why are you going? You stay here and take care of me for my brother."

You guys should bear the An family's anger well!"

Ding San and others swarmed up and held down Wang Mazi, who was struggling. One of them even pulled out the dagger from Wang Mazi's waist and pressed it against his neck: "Brother Wang, you'd better not move around. I'm afraid my hands will shake."

, accidentally poked a bloody hole in your neck!"

Wang Mazi felt the chill on his neck and stared at Ding San and others with fear and anger, wondering when they would unite under his nose and take this opportunity to attack him.

"Gag his mouth with something, and then tie him to a tree with a piece of satin!" Ding San had no intention of explaining, so he untied the baggage from Wang Mazi's back and carried it to himself.

Hou Liu and others followed Ding San's instructions, took off the smelly socks and stuffed them into Wang Mazi's mouth, took out the satin from the bag, cut it into several pieces with a dagger, and tied Wang Mazi's hands and feet.

, before tying him to a tree.

After doing all this and making sure that Wang Mazi would not yell to attract the An family, Ding San stepped on Wang Mazi's body and climbed up the tree. Looking at the empty wall outside the wall, feeling the weight of the burden, he

Resisting the urge to shout and scream, I stretched out one foot and stepped on the courtyard wall.

The tragedy happened at this moment. Ding San grabbed the courtyard wall with both hands and was about to take back the foot on the tree. I don't know if it was because of the heavy baggage that made him lose his center of gravity.

Falling straight down from the courtyard wall like this

Unfortunately, the moment his back hit the ground, the back of his head hit the big tree where Wang Mazi was bound. He rolled his eyes and passed out before he could even scream.

Wang Mazi was stunned when he saw this scene with his own eyes. Then, a twisted smile appeared on his face, joking that Ding Sanbai had planned to end up in the An family just like him.

"Brother Ding, wake up, wake up quickly!" Hou Liu's expression changed drastically, he rushed over and shook Ding San's body hard. Unexpectedly, he didn't wake him up, but the blood on the back of his head came out.

"Hou Liu, stop shaking. Let's grab our things and run. This An family is too evil!" The other three people came over to pull Hou Liu with pale faces. They looked around uneasily. They always felt that the courtyard was gloomy.

It was clear that they were fine after climbing over the wall, but something happened to the two of them one after another when they were about to go out. Thinking that they had been unlucky these days and couldn't even steal a chicken feather, it was hard for them not to think about gods and ghosts.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The two of them were like this accidentally!" Hou Liu's lips turned white, and he gritted his teeth to control the fear in his heart: "We can't stay here anymore, we have to leave quickly!"

With that said, he threw his baggage to others and took off the most valuable baggage from Ding San, obviously not intending to care about Ding San anymore.

The three people had too much time to take care of themselves and wished they could leave Ding San behind as a burden. But this time, no one dared to climb the tree or the wall first, for fear of ending up like Wang Mazi and Ding San.

Hou Liu didn't believe this evil, so he thought for a while and decided to climb up the tree and throw the baggage out first.

So he stepped on Wang Mazi's body and climbed up the tree. Just as he picked up the baggage and threw it outside the wall, his feet suddenly slipped for some reason, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The baggage also fell down.

It hit him squarely on the head.

This time, Hou Liu was not only smashed on the head and had a nosebleed on his face, but his right wrist when throwing the baggage was also broken, which was even worse than Wang Mazi and Ding San. But he didn't pass out happily like Ding San.

The man was in great pain, and it was the fear of being discovered by the An family that forced him to grit his teeth and not scream.

"Run, run, there is a ghost here, there is a ghost here!" The remaining three people were frightened crazy, threw away the baggage on their backs in a hurry, and ran out of the cave door screaming.

As for whether they would be discovered by Anjia or whether they would be caught and have their hands and feet broken, they could not think of that much and just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

The seven or eight slaves who were lazing in the corner and basking in the sun could vaguely hear the screams. They thought the sound came from outside and ignored it, continuing to eat melon seeds and do their homework. Unexpectedly, without saying a few words, they saw three

The stranger ran out of another yard and was so surprised that all the melon seeds in his hands dropped.

"Thieves, these are thieves, catch them quickly!" Several slaves came to their senses, greeted each other and quickly chased after them.

They are the ones looking after the house today. If these thieves are allowed to escape, no one will be able to take advantage of it. On the contrary, if they can catch these thieves, they will be great heroes, and they will definitely get a reward, and maybe even more.

Get the favor of the owner.

With this in mind, seven or eight slaves chased with extra effort. In addition, they were familiar with the An family. After discovering the direction in which the three thieves were escaping, four people took a shortcut to intercept them...

At this time, the An family was sitting under the stage, watching the last play on the stage. Under Anton's deliberate arrangement, the Qin family sat next to the An family. The older generation of the two families sat together with the older generation, and the younger generation

Sitting together with the younger generation, it is inevitable to have a discussion between watching the show.

Over the past two days, the two families gradually became familiar with each other and learned some things about each other's homes.

Anton and Jing Heng have known each other for three years. He only guessed that Jing Heng came from a powerful family in the capital. He did not know his specific identity, so he intentionally or unintentionally tested the Qin family and wanted to know the relationship between Jing Heng and the Qin family.

Which step.

Mr. Qin and others were well aware of Anton's temptation and told them that Jingheng was friends with the children at home, but Jingheng had never revealed his identity to them.

Although he did not get the answer he wanted, which made Anton very disappointed, his ability to bring his business to the capital showed that he was a successful and far-sighted person. Therefore, his attitude towards the Qin family did not change at all, and he kept letting him go.

The servants served tea and snacks to the Qin family.

Anton also liked the well-behaved and lovable Qin Xiaoxiao. Before the servant hurried over and told him that his home had been robbed, he was holding a piece of snack to coax Qin Xiaoxiao to call him uncle.

Hearing that the house had been stolen and six thieves had been caught, Anton was worried that these thieves had ulterior motives and could not sit still, so he told the Qin family and hurried home with his sons, brothers and slaves.

Mr. An and Mrs. An from the An family were worried and followed with the help of their granddaughters.

"Grandpa, some thieves came to Uncle An's house to steal things, and they gave medicine to the dog again~" Qin Xiaoxiao was so close that she heard every word that An's servant whispered to Anton.

The sound in her ears suddenly reminded her of the fear of almost losing Rhubarb, and she pulled the old man Qin with an eager face: "Let's go, save the dog!"

Mr. Qin was surprised that there was a thief in the An family in broad daylight. Seeing his little granddaughter trying to go there, he said helplessly: "This is the An family's business. It's not convenient for us outsiders to go there."

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and looked in the direction of Anjia worriedly: "What about the dog?"

Mr. Qin coaxed her: "The An family could catch the thief because the thief must be too stupid. Such a stupid thief would not think of drugging a dog. The dog will be fine."

Qin Xiaoxiao thought about it and reluctantly accepted the explanation: "Well, when Uncle An comes, I'll ask Uncle An if the dog is okay."

"Well, grandpa can ask for you."

After listening to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, the rest of the Qin family started talking in low voices. They felt that these thieves were so courageous that they dared to break into and steal in broad daylight and deserved to be arrested. They didn't know that these thieves were the ones who came to their house last time.

Wang Mazi and others who stole things.

Zhao Xiuxiu, who was sitting next to her, was restless. She looked at Qin Xiaoxiao who was coaxed into laughing by Mr. Qin, and she couldn't figure out how things could have turned out like this.

In the previous life, the An family was robbed on this day. At that time, the thieves entered the room of Mr. An and Mrs. An, and were discovered by Mr. An and Mrs. An who were taking a break. During the fight, several thieves accidentally captured the two elders.

Beaten to death.
