In the evening, everyone stopped at the Zhangde Courier Station. After passing Zhangde, they reached Huaiqing, which was near Xinxiang. They then took a boat across the river and turned to Jinling.
Seeing that Ma Jingcong had settled down, Ma Jingcong was in high spirits after a long day of traveling. He rode a horse for a while, but his old arms and legs were shaking badly. Once he arrived, he immediately went into his room to rest.
Lin Shu was happy that Ma Jingcong didn't care about the matter, so he could make the arrangements. She immediately called the twenty guards beside her over and secretly reminded them before returning to her room.
In the dead of the night, Lin Shu lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, quietly waiting for the other party to walk into the trap. It was not until the third watch that he heard a slight movement on the beam.
"He's here!" Lin Shu muttered to himself. He squinted his eyes and quietly observed the surroundings. Soon, he heard the sound of moving bricks. An eye quietly observed Lin Shu's every move through the hole in the wall. Then, a golden line quietly hung down.
"It's still this move!" Lin Shu sneered in his heart. This guy was really stubborn. He had already used this move last night and it didn't work. He actually used the same move today.
This time, Lin Shu was not prepared to give him any chance. Without waiting for the little thief to drip the poison, her eyes suddenly widened and she roared. She rushed to the window and was ready to pounce on the roof to catch the little thief.
"We caught a thief!"
Following Lin Shu's roar, the personal guards who had been lying in ambush near Lin Shu's room immediately swarmed out and pounced on the roof.
The thief obviously didn't expect Lin Shu to discover his whereabouts and set up an inescapable net. In shock, he immediately fled into the distance.
Lin Shu rushed out of the window and jumped onto the roof. She saw a black shadow fleeing into the distance, but it was stopped by her personal guard. The two of them exchanged two blows. That person's strength was not low. In the blink of an eye, he injured a personal guard and fled again.
Lin Shu would not allow him to escape so easily. She roared and immediately chased after him.
In front of them, another personal guard rushed over. These men who had rushed out of the battlefield only knew some superficial martial arts and were not good at fighting alone. In the blink of an eye, they were cut in the leg by that person. However, this person was very fierce. He actually rushed forward without caring about his own body and hugged the other person's legs in an instant, wanting to flip him over. The other person's reaction was also very fast. He slashed the short knife in his hand and slashed at the back of that person. That person screamed, He rolled down from the roof, and no one knew if he was dead or alive.
However, the guard's desperate attempt to stop him gave Lin Shu time. At this moment, Lin Shu had already caught up to the other party with big strides. He was only three steps behind the other party. With a loud shout, the long saber in his hand slashed towards the back of the other party.
The man waved his knife to block, but Lin Shu seemed to have expected this. The big knife suddenly left his hand and hit the man's left shoulder. The man immediately screamed.
Lin Shuyi pounced forward and grabbed the other party's short knife. She raised her leg and kicked the other party in the chest. The other party only took a breath and immediately fainted.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? What happened?"
At this moment, the people of the posthouse finally realized the situation. They shouted loudly and a dozen people rushed over. Lin Shu threw the captive in her hand to a guard and jumped off the roof. She looked at the posthouse staff who surrounded her and frowned."Who is in charge of the posthouse? Tell him to come to my room to see me!”
He didn't give those people any chance to ask and went straight into his room.
Not long after, Ma Jingcong and the post officer walked in one after another. Ma Jingcong asked in a sharp voice,"General Lin, what's going on? Was there a thief? Which family did this thief come from? He was really bold. He even dared to steal from the posthouse. He didn't put the emperor in his eyes!”
The post station official was a scholar in his forties. This was the first time a thief had come to the post station to steal something. Furthermore, that thief had chosen to come when the imperial envoy was resting. What kind of deep hatred did he have with him that he wanted to kill him!
Wang Defang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in fear,"It's all this lowly servant's negligence that allowed the thief to sneak into the post station. Please forgive me, Eunuch Ma and General Lin. This lowly servant has already sent someone to report to Governor Wang. We will definitely arrest this thief and bring him to justice!”
Lin Shu looked coldly at the post officer, then turned to Ma Jingcong and smiled."Eunuch Ma, it's not a big deal. Why did I alarm you? This little thief is cunning and skilled. As soon as he was discovered by me, he immediately ran away. One of my guards wanted to stop him, but he was injured by him. I'm ashamed that I couldn't catch this little thief.”
Ma Jingcong said resentfully," How is the mayor of Zhangde Prefecture governed? How could there be a thief so bold as to come to the posthouse to steal something? And he even stole it from General Lin. Do you believe that I won't go back to the palace and ask him for a copy?!"”
"Eunuch Ma, please calm down. The prefect will definitely catch this thief and bring him to justice. It's all my fault, all my fault!”
Lin Shu smiled." Eunuch Ma, you should go back to your room and rest first. I believe Governor Wang will catch this thief very soon!"”
Ma Jingcong said a few more words angrily. Under Lin Shu's persuasion, he went back to his room to rest.
