First, catch a thief

He was the leader of Liu Yuanwai's family in Sangzi County. Liu Yuanwai led his family back to his hometown to worship their ancestors on the Qingming Festival. Qiu Bin and his five subordinates drank some wine and then went back to their residence to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Qiu Bin felt anxious. He got up from bed and ran straight to the toilet in the backyard. Qiu Bin had just arrived in the backyard when he suddenly found a black shadow on the wall.

As soon as Qiu Bin saw a thief, he waved his hand and shot out a wolf tooth dart. The black shadow in the doorway screamed, and the dart fell at that time.

Qiu Bin led several of his subordinates to the guard house, and they searched together and found the thief in black in the in the backyard greenhouse. The two guards, a hungry tiger, pressed the thief firmly to the ground. The thief in black was named Liu Qi, and he had already taken off the wolf tooth dart on his leg. At this time, the wound of the dart was bleeding, and Liu Qi said sadly, "Master Qiu, can you let me apply some blood to the dart wound first?"

Qiu Bin didn't want to do things too well either. He nodded to the two guards who caught the thieves and said, "Let him go!"

He touched it in his arms and took out a flat wooden box the size of a fist. Liu Qi knocked on the lid a few times, then opened the lid and applied a light green powder inside to the dart wound on his right leg. Strange to say, just as the strange powder was applied, the bleeding stopped.

Qiu Bin sneered, raised his hand again, and two darts were sent out "puff", one hit Liu Qi's, and the other hit Liu Qi's left leg.

Liu Qi was captured again, and Qiu Bin found the wooden box from Liu Qi's body. After he applied the powder in the box to Liu Qi's new injury, the powder had a miraculous effect. In an instant, it could stop the bleeding of the wound, and in a short time, it could move as usual.

Qiu Bin found a heavy iron chain and locked Liu Qi in the woodshed. Liu Qi begged: "Qiu Nursing Hospital, you see that I have a seventy-year-old mother above me and a seven-year-old child below me, let me go!"

Qiu Bin said, "Let go, you want to be beautiful, as soon as the sky breaks, we will send you to the official residence, and when you arrive at the official residence, we will reward you with a board first, and then put you in the stinking prison.

Liu Qi was so scared by Qiu Bin's words that his face turned pale. He "plopped" and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

Qiu Bin lowered his voice and said, "It's okay to spare you, but you have to hand over the secret recipe for red wounds!"

II. Fraud

Although Liu Qi was a thief, he was also afraid of being sent to the government for punishment. He had no choice but to nod and agree to Qiu Bin's exchange conditions.

Liu Qi picked up the brush, and he wrote a total of 18 "Thief Fang" on paper like ghosts. Qiu Bin naturally did not believe Liu Qi, so he bought all the powder according to the Fang, and then watched Liu Qi prepare the so-called thief for him.

Liu Qi first poured out the powder from the wooden box, and then added the eighteen flavors of powder to the box one by one according to the dosage. Liu Qi prepared the thief, closed the lid of the box, and proudly smacked the lid, saying, "Nursing Qiu, I passed you the thief, you have to keep your word!"

Qiu Bin took the thief into the wooden box and found someone to do three or five tests in a row. Sure enough, the thief's effect was amazing, not only could it stop the bleeding immediately, but it could also make people resume in action in a short time. Qiu Bin took out the key and opened the big lock on the chain, he said to Liu Qi, "You can go!"

When Liu Qi left the Liu family mansion, he turned around and told, "Qiu Nursing Hospital, if you treat people's injuries in the future, you can only use one tablespoon per person!"

After Qiu Bin nodded and released Liu Qi, Liu Yuanwai led his family back, and he quit his job to Liu Yuanwai. Liu Yuanwai asked in surprise, "Qiu Nursing Home, did you leave my house for another job?"

Qiu Bin replied: "I'm going back to open a store, and I'll stop working in nursing homes in the future!"

Qiu Bin's hometown is in Jixian County, which is located outside the mouth of the county, where horse bandits are rampant, and the folk customs are strong, so opening a store specializing in thieves should be a great achievement!

After Qiu Bin returned to his hometown, after ten days of preparation, Qiu Jishen's signboard was hung up. However, after he sold the thief in the wooden box, when Qiu Bin reformulated the thief, he realized that the thief he had configured was not easy to use at all!

Qiu Bin was faced with the embarrassing situation of no one buying it and losing money on the ground. He was so angry that he picked up Liu Qi's wooden box that had once contained a thief and smashed it to the ground with a "click".

The wooden box was broken into six or seven halves. Qiu Bin was surprised to find that the lid of the wooden box was actually hollow, and there were traces of powder in the empty nest. As long as he tapped the lid with his hand, nine small holes would be opened in the inner wall of the lid, and a small amount of powder hidden in the lid would leak into the wooden box.

Obviously, Liu Qi had deceived Qiu Bin. There were not 18 flavors in the thief's recipe, but 19 flavors. The last one was hidden in the lid of the box, which was the key to determining whether the thief's recipe was as curative as God.

Qiu Bin was so angry that he scolded Liu Qi, but Liu Qi didn't know where he was hiding it. Qiu Bin couldn't find Liu Qi, and he didn't know what the last thing was. Qiu Bin's store will definitely not escape the fate of closing.

Qiu Bin was sitting in the shop sulking that day when he heard someone on the street say loudly, "The head hunter of the county yamen actually caught the flying thief Liu Qi!"

Sure enough, four captors drove a carriage across the street. It was Liu Qi who was chained in the carriage. This Liu Qi fled to Jixian County to commit the crime. When he was stealing from a wealthy family, he suddenly found a jar of fine wine outside the Great Wall - scutellaria wine.

Liu Qi didn't know how strong it was. He drank half a jar of skullcap wine and actually fell drunk at the scene of the theft. This is how he was captured today.

He hurried back to the shop. He first covered his face with black gauze, then took his weapon and dart bag, leaped onto the roof, and ran straight in the direction of the county government office in Jixian County.

Qiu Bin wants to rob Liu Qi. He wants the complete recipe for the thief!

III. Secrets

Qiu Bin knocked over the four catchers, then brandished a knife and cut off the chain on Liu Qi's body. When the four catchers shouted to catch the thief, Qiu Bin had already snatched a horse, and then carried Liu Qi on his horse and galloped out of the city.

Qiu Bin rode all the way to the depths of Yunlong Mountain outside the city. Liu Qi saw that Qiu Bin was the one who saved him, so he shouted loudly, "Nursing Qiu, even if you save me, I won't tell you the 19th flavor of the thief's party!"

Qiu Bin said, "You have to tell me what the 19th flavor is, and I will take care of your life in the future!"

Liu Qi's hamstrings were already broken. If Qiu Bin did not arrange everything for him in Yunlong Mountain, he would only be starved to death.

Liu Qiwan was helpless, so he had to nod and agree to Qiu Bin's request. Qiu Bin found a cave for Liu Qi in the mountains, and Liu Qi lived in the cave, so he began to prepare Nineteenth Flavor for Qiu Bin. Of course, Liu Qi's daily food, clothing and housing had to be provided by Qiu Bin. After Qiu Bin robbed Liu Qi, the catchers in Jixian County searched for three days, and they couldn't find the robbers and Liu Qi, and the thunder of the thieves passed.

Qiu Bin then hired a deaf and mute man and asked him to take care of Liu Qi on the mountain. Liu Qi then used crutches to pick the grass he needed, then dried it and ground it. The mysterious ground powder was sent to the bottom of the mountain by the deaf and mute man.

Qiu Jishen sold very well, and Qiu Bin made a lot of money. Qiu Bin had just opened the door earlier that morning when he saw a deputy general wearing a helmet and armor leading more than a dozen personal soldiers into the store from outside the door.

This deputy general's surname was Wu. Deputy General Wu came from Zhuozhou Mansion. He was ordered by the mansion to lead seven or eight hundred elite soldiers to Ji County to suppress bandits.

Vice General Wu asked Qiu Bin to take out more than 100 catties of thieves in the store, and then left 300 taels of silver, saying, "I bought all these gods!"

Qiu Bin was about to tell Vice General Wu about the precautions for using thieves. Vice General Wu asked his soldiers to hold the powder, so he got on his horse and hurriedly left Qiu Bin's store. But a month later, Qiu Bin was caught in the lobby of the county yamen by the police of Jixian County.

Qiu Bin shouted at Lord Niu, the county magistrate of Jixian County: "Lord Niu, which king law did I violated, what did you caught?"

Lord Niu was shocked and shouted, "Deputy General Wu was poisoned to death because he applied it to you!"

While Vice General Wu was suppressing the bandits, his thigh was slashed by the bandits. Vice General Wu applied the thief to the one-and-a-half-foot-long blade. The blood and pain were indeed stopped, but after a meal, Vice General Wu's complexion was livid, his body stiff, and he died of poisoning.

Qiu Bin killed Deputy General Wu, which is a crime that lost its head. Lord Niu shouted, "Pick Qiu Bin up with a wooden flail and put him on death row!"

Qiu Bin hated Liu Qi for harming him. He opened his throat and shouted, "I know where the cat burglar Liu Qi lives!"

Lord Niu sent the catcher to capture Liu Qi, who was hiding in the mountains, and put him in the cell next to Qiu Bin. Qiu Bin shouted, "Liu Qi, what is your 19th flavor? Why do you want to harm me?"

Liu Qi sneered: "There are three flavors in my nineteenth flavor. These three flavors are all blood-clotting poisons. The most poisonous of them is aconite, and aconite is the broken intestine grass!"

Aconitum was extremely poisonous, but with the other two poisons to restrain it, the toxicity of Aconitum was reduced to a very low level. Applying a small amount of Aconitum to the outside of the body could indeed quickly stop bleeding, but applying a large amount of it could make people's blood clotting fatal.

Qiu Bin shouted, "You really killed me!"

Liu Qi sneered: "I steal everywhere, I am indeed a giant bandit, but you always try your best to get my secret recipe, aren't you a big thief? I am full of evil, and death is not a pity. On Huangquan Road, let's go together, you are not wronged!..."

Qiu Bin's body shook and fell on the mud floor of the cell. There was a painful "whining" sound in his throat, like a beast crying!
