The second floor of the lively and noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet, and almost everyone's eyes were attracted by the source of sound: a basket of steamed buns fell on the ground, next to the pieces of the bowl and plate; a young man was sitting next to him, his clothes were very new, but they were too big.

Now he was surrounded by three people and kept retreating. One of the three pulled out his sword from his waist and pointed it at him fiercely:

"Okay, you guy, dare to steal things in full view of everyone!"

Hearing this, Feng En was secretly shocked-

This sound...isn't Wu Xin?!

He immediately turned his head and saw the back being arrogant and domineering; who could it be if it weren't for Wu Xin? At this moment, he drew his sword and pressed forward step by step. The man on the ground couldn't stop retreating, but suddenly he stood up and ran out.

Wu Xin was stunned and immediately shouted and chased him out:

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

As he went downstairs, his voice became farther away. The guests in the restaurant touched their wallets and quickly returned to normal. They should eat and drink. At most, a few of them called the waiter to come and blame him. The waiter nodded in response.

Only Feng En put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"I want to see what's going on."

"Brother Wang? That person surnamed Wu has nothing to do with us, why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Li Yun frowned, but heard Cheng Shouzhuo suddenly spoke:

"I heard the arrangement yesterday and said that we would add an additional group of personnel to our advance team, including those from the Burial Courtyard. Wu Xin was not elected before but now appears in this Nanjing city. I'm afraid..."

"Same as I guess."

Feng En nodded, and the remaining three people finally got up and ran downstairs together; however, as soon as they left the restaurant gate, they saw a circle of people blocking the road, and muffled sounds came from the middle of the crowd from time to time.

"I told you to steal something!"

Wu Xin kicked the young man who stole his stuff in the lap, and two peers who were having dinner with him were standing next to him. As for the one who stole his stuff on the ground, who curled up and hugged his head, but did not hum, but just tried hard to make himself tighter.

"Don't make a sound, right? You want to be beaten, right? You really don't know the king's law if you don't teach you some lessons!"

As he said that, Wu Xin kicked it out again, but before touching it, the boy on the ground suddenly moved back five feet away - Xi Sheng grabbed his collar and pulled him away and avoided the heavy kicks that kicked him at the head.

"...It's you?"

Seeing the four people in front of him, the doubt flashed across Wu Xin's face and quickly turned into contempt:

"The advance team members who want to explore the abyss do not go to train, but come to protect a thief?"

"What about it? Will you beat him to death?"

Cheng Shouzhuo took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice to Wu Xin:

"You can catch him, but it is the duty of the government to convict and punish him. The beating you just now has caused a life threat, and you are wearing a sword in the street. Both of these violate the law of the Ming Dynasty."

"Sword? I'm so sorry, I can wear a sword!"

Wu Xin held the sword and raised his hand, and said contemptuously to Cheng Shouzhuo:

"As for this thief, there are many refugees in Nanjing now, and the government can't manage it. If I hadn't been quick-witted, my wallet would have been gone with the jade tag, so I should have taught him some lessons!"

"Your 'lecture' is too much."

At this moment, Feng En stood up and looked directly at Wu Xin:

"You are planning to use [Da Zhuo Shu] in that kick. If you hit it, you will be a life."

At this moment, the boy had already vented more and had less air, but he was still breathing. Just now, Feng En turned on his sleeves and trouser legs and saw that the skin on his arms and outside his legs had been filled with bruises, and blood was constantly oozing out of the torn wounds.

In addition, Feng En also noticed that his hands were tightly pinching, and there were still a few stars of white residue on the corner of his mouth. Wu Xin's wallet and jade token were all hung around his waist without any thoughts of being pulled or snatched. Obviously, the boy was stolen another thing.

"Do you want someone to pay for your life just by stealing a steamed bun?"

"……shut up!"

Wu Xin, who was stared at by Feng En, also glared back and raised his foot and took a heavy step forward.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, Wang Yiming. Otherwise, you will be careful not to eat anything good to you in the future-"

"You want to go down the abyss, too?"

Li Yun suddenly interrupted Wu Xin and walked forward three feet away in front of him, "If you do those things during the selection process, do you still have the face to go down the abyss?"

However, when he saw it was him, Wu Xin smiled coldly.

"I just said you should be here too, Li Yun. Before, I was thinking that you, a guy who was usually careless and didn't go to class, was so anxious to go to Shangyuan. Later, I went to check it out specifically - Oh, it turns out that your family moved from Shangyuan to build a city."

He paused, walked forward, and spoke word by word:

"The refugees in this city may not have relatives from your family, right?"

“…”

Li Yun suddenly fell silent. Wu Xin saw him like this and sneered, but did not notice that his left hand suddenly stretched out, then left his clothes and pulled up five strings, and his right hand followed by a stroke.

"Recruitment!"

With a sound, the notes pounced on Wu Xin like a raging fire; for a moment, he felt his mouth dry and his mouth was chapped and his eyes couldn't help but close, but then he stretched out his hand and held the black stick condensed in his hand:

"【If you are strong, stop]!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Yun's legs bent, but immediately stood up straight, and his waist, which was almost pressed down, also pulled it hard; under the heavy pressure, his left hand was still lifting it hard, and his right hand moved towards the strings bit by bit.

But at this moment, Feng En and Cheng Shouzhuo rushed over, and at the same time, they pulled him back and left the scope of Dazhuang Zezhi's action. Then Xisheng quickly grabbed his hand that was about to wave the strings, and did not let him play the next note.

"you……"

"No need to do this." Cheng Shouzhuo looked at him, "We cannot follow the unreasonable ones."

Li Yun was silent, Feng En next to him patted his shoulder, asking Xisheng to let go of his hand at the same time.

"Someone is here, it should be from the government. Don't be too impulsive."

As soon as he finished speaking, two middle-aged men in dark blue uniforms squeezed out from the crowd; Wu Xin next to him immediately put away his spirit when he saw them coming, after all, the emblem on their chests and the stone signs on their waists all showed their identities: the yamen constable.

"I heard the report that someone stole something here, and the prisoner had caught it." The detective swept his eyes over everyone, "Where are the prisoners and the victims? Are they all here?"

"Here, I'm the victim!"

Wu Xin walked over with great strides, turned around and pointed his hand at Feng En and the others, "The prisoner is being protected by them. If you want to talk about it, they are also accomplices--"

"If you are asked to beat him to death, we are the accomplices."

Feng En interrupted him, and Cheng Shouzhuo also walked towards the constable, "The prisoner is dying now, and I think he should be treated first and then interrogated."

The detective looked at him, but walked forward without saying a word, and squatted in front of the young man who was being looked after by He Zheng. After checking for a while, he stood up and walked towards Wu Xin:

"Is this what you called?"

"...He stole my things! Don't you catch the stolen people, but instead want to catch the stolen people?"

Speaking of this, Wu Xin angrily pointed at Feng En and the group of people surrounding the boy, but the constable just spoke coldly:

"I didn't say I wanted to arrest you, please cooperate with our investigation. Another thing is that this is the center of the downtown city, but you are wearing a sword. When you arrive at the yamen, please give me the sword around your waist to see."

"I want to go too?" Wu Xin widened his eyes, "Why, I have to sit in the yamen after I have been stolen nowadays?"

"I hope you will cooperate with the investigation."

The detective looked at him and turned to Feng En and the other four:

"You guys who handed the prisoner over to my colleagues, and then go to the yamen with me."

"good."

Feng En nodded, and He Zheng also made way out; the four of them watched another constable help the young man who was almost fainted, but didn't say anything. Then they and Wu Xin came to the nearest yamen to be questioned. The process was not complicated, and they described the scene in detail. After the case was over, they were finished.

Before leaving, the detective who brought them came forward:

"Thank you for your cooperation. The case itself is not big. The child was a refugee who fled from the east. The new clothes he wore was given to him by someone else. He did not steal the wallet and jade tokens, but robbed two steamed buns on the plate. Whether it is true or not, it would be a good thing if he didn't die. Thank you for not making the situation worse."

"It's okay, it should."

Feng En nodded in response, and Li Yun suddenly stepped forward and asked:

"Where is the person who was stolen?"

"He... was released by us."

"It is illegal to wear a sword in the downtown area, but did you let him go?"

After Li Yun asked, he saw the detective shook his head. Just as he was about to ask questions, Cheng Shouzhuo stopped him.

"Okay, let's go. Thank you for your hard work, too."

So the four of them left the yamen and took a bus to the camp, without saying anything along the way; until they got off the bus, Li Yun could not hold back:

"Cheng Shouzhuo, why did you stop me just now?"

The four of them stopped at the same time, and Cheng Shouzhuo, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at him.

"Because Wu Xin is indeed a person who can wear a sword without breaking the law. With his family background, he can do this in building a city. It is unexpected and reasonable to do so here."

"Then is there no way? People like him want to go down the abyss with us!"

Li Yun said unwillingly, but Cheng Shouzhuo just shook his head and spoke slowly:

"I think it's time for you to know now--there are many powerful children like him among the people in Xiayuan this time. If we can get a group, that's fine. If we can't get a group, we have to be careful."
