Late at night, Yuelai was quiet in the middle.

Zhao Yan's room is on the northmost side, while Heiwa's room is next to him.

Heiwa naturally knew the importance of guarding Zhao Yan's safety, so he was very alert when sleeping. As long as there was any movement, he would wake up instantly.

Swish!

At this moment, Heiwa opened his eyes instantly because he obviously felt a slight sound of footsteps in the corridor, and based on the sound of footsteps, he had already judged that this person had martial arts.

At the same time, two imperial guards who were invisible in the dark also discovered this person.

This person is the Cui family's Heihu.

Heihu held a dagger in his hand and slowly walked to Heiwa's door.

The two imperial guards hid the sleeve crossbow in their hands again and carefully observed them.

Zhao Yan once issued an order that these guards could only appear when he was threatened with life, otherwise they would never show up.

The man rushed straight into Heiwa's house, and the two guards couldn't help but guess that this man might be here to steal money.

After many trainings by Shen Tuyi, Heiwa became quite smart.

He stuffed a pillow under the quilt, pretended that someone was on the bed, and then hid quietly in a hidden corner.

If the other party didn't say anything, and just took the sword and slashed towards the bed, it would definitely be a killer, and Heiwa would have to consider the other party's assassination motive.

If it's just a thief, it's much easier to do.

Heihu was once a thief. Seeing that he had some martial arts skills, the Cui family took him in.

His steps were very light. When he came to Heiwa's bed, he first touched the clothes and bags beside him.

I saw his wrist flip and he took out a big purse in an instant.

Heiwa attaches great importance to two things.

One is food because I am afraid of being hungry; the other is money because I am afraid of being poor.

When he saw the man in black taking his purse, he couldn't help but glared at him.

He kicked it out with a flying foot.

Bang!

Heihu suddenly fell on the bed.

Before he could stand up, Heiwa rushed over instantly and stuck the dagger in front of Heihu's neck.

Heihu immediately did not dare to move rashly.

Heiwa swung his fist and pounded it at the back of Heihu's head.

He knocked the latter out with one punch.

Heiwa learned all the practical skills in the army, and he started cleanly and decisively.

Then he quickly tied the thief to a chair and stuffed his stinky socks into the latter's mouth.

He listened to the movement next door and found that Zhao Yan was still asleep. He couldn't help but breathe a long sigh, then opened the door and walked outside and waved, indicating that the danger had been settled.

Immediately, Heiwa lay on the bed again.

After dawn, the inn shopkeeper will send the thief to the county government.

...

It was dawn and Zhao Yan slept soundly, and then walked out of the house.

Heiwa, not far away, brought breakfast and said, "Young Master, I caught a thief last night and just asked the inn shopkeeper to take him to the official!"

Zhao Yan was stunned and said in confusion: "I heard yesterday that Xingyuan County's people are simple and stable in public. They can almost never close their doors at night and not pick up any leavers on the road. I encountered thieves just one day after I came here. It seems that the rumors are not true!"

Heiwa nodded in approval and said, "I guess it's bullying us from other places!"

Zhao Yan looked at the gradually lively lobby downstairs and said, "After breakfast, let's go to the streets for a walk. Xingyuan County's new policy should be started in the next few days."

The new policy is a dead order from Zhao Yan. Even if the prefectures and counties cannot be fully implemented, the policy content will definitely be conveyed to the people.

At this moment, Cui Yanyan dressed up and prepared to go out for a chance encounter with Zhao Yan.

She had already sketched the scene that was about to happen in her mind.

Zhao Yan and Heiwa will definitely go to the county government to report the official because of their losses. She happened to pass by and asked them to work at the Cui family's store on the grounds of helping them, and then she could torture them to the two of them to the fullest.

Just as she was about to go out, her maid Yutao ran over and said, "Miss, it's not good. Heihu was caught in the county government. County Magistrate Liu knew that Heihu was from our Cui family, so he specially sent someone to ask."

Cui Yanyan couldn't help but pouted and said, "Tell County Magistrate Liu that I just asked Heihu to surprise my friend. This was just an accident, so he let Heihu release him."

"Yes, Miss." Yutao replied.

This is the strength of the Cui family. If you tell the county magistrate to let someone go, it would be as casual as drinking water and sleeping.

"I don't believe it. I can't cure you in Xingyuan County!" Cui Yanyan wrapped her hands in front of her chest, and couldn't help but have a new idea in her heart.

One hour later.

Zhao Yan and Heiwa were walking on the noisy streets and were in a particularly happy mood.

Zhao Yan even thought that if he was not an emperor but a wealthy businessman, he would definitely choose such a county town, buy a big house, plant dozens of acres of land, open a few stores, and then give birth to five or six children, which would be considered a happy life.

Heiwa held the special pies from Xingyuan County in one hand and a pack of dried fruit in the other hand, and enjoyed it.

His favorite thing is to follow Zhao Yan out to eat and drink.

Heiwa was eating when he suddenly saw a young man in black clothes walking quickly towards the front.

He was stunned. This person was the thief he caught last night.

"Young Master, young man, look at that young man in black, he... he is the thief I caught last night. He was just sent to the county government this morning, and he came out now. It's too fast!" Heiwa said angrily.

"Are you sure?" Zhao Yan asked.

Heiwa nodded confidently and said, "I'm sure, there are red marks on his left face!"

The crime of theft is at least imprisoned for half a month.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but say coldly: "You will quickly arrest him again now. Let's take him to the government and see what the county magistrate Liu said!"

"yes!"

Heiwa stuffed the pie and dried fruit into his arms and ran quickly towards the young man in black.

Zhao Yan also followed closely.

Just when Heiwa was less than five meters away, the young man in black discovered Heiwa, turned his face and ran away, turning into an alley.

Heiwa quickly chased after him, while Zhao Yan blocked him from another alley.

When Zhao Yan blocked another alley, he saw Heiwa had already pressed the young man to the ground.

"Oh, since getting married, I have really lost my energy!" Zhao Yan sighed, and then strode over.

"You thief, you came out as soon as you were caught. Is there no king's law in this far-reaching county? Let's go with us to see the officials!" Heiwa said, then picked up a hemp rope next to him and tied it up.
Chapter completed!
