Zhao Yan's paintings are gone. Not only is the sexy game beauty I painted today gone, but even the paintings I painted a few days ago are gone. The characters in the paintings include animals, most of which are small bean sprouts and small meat diced meats, and there are one or two rain scenes, but now they are gone, to be precise, they were stolen by Cao Song.

Cao Song, who was born in a noble, actually steals things? This matter seems a bit incredible, and even Zhao Yan couldn't believe it at the beginning. After all, Cao Song gave him a good impression just now. Although he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, this is also the duty of a noble child. And it can be seen from the moment that Cao Song had a good relationship with Zhao Yan before, so no matter from any aspect, Cao Song had no motivation or reason to steal things.

However, when Zhao Yan called Xiao Douya over and asked, he finally confirmed that the person who stole his painting was Cao Song. Xiao Douya may not know anything about it, but Cao Song is Cao Ying's cousin. Xiao Douya, as a servant of the Cao family, knows Cao Song the ninth brother the most.

According to Xiao Douya, Cao Song's habit of stealing is not a secret, and even the entire Tokyo City knows it. Moreover, Cao Song steals things not because he lacks money. It is a joke that the young master of the first general of the Song Dynasty would be short of money. The reason why Cao Song steals things is because he likes it. As long as he goes to a place outside his home, no matter what he knows or doesn't know, he always brings something back. This is already well-known in Tokyo City.

Because of Cao Song's fault, Cao Ying's strict uncle didn't know how many vines had been removed. Unfortunately, although Cao Song shouted miserably every time and promised not to commit it again, he still couldn't help stealing it again in the end. In the end, Cao Song's father no longer cared about him and did not take him with him when he went out, so as not to be embarrassed.

However, except for stealing, Cao Song is normal in other aspects and is also loyal to his friends. In the past, whenever Zhao Yan had no money, the first thing he thought of was to borrow money from Cao Song. As long as Cao Song had money, he would definitely lend it to him, and he had never urged him to debts. Until now, Zhao Yan still owed Cao Song thousands of guan and never paid it back.

"I understand, it turns out that Cao Song is a patient with pathological theft." Zhao Yan said to himself after hearing about Cao Song. The so-called pathological theft is actually commonly known as theft maniac. Such people steal things not for money, nor do they really need this thing. They even give it to people or throw it away after stealing things. They just can't suppress their desire to steal, which is a typical psychological disorder. In addition, pathological arson, pathological gambling, etc., all belong to the same psychological disorder. Psychologically, they collectively call impulse control disorders.

"It seems that before Cao Song restrains this psychological disorder, I want to hang a sign at the door of the room, 'Little Meat Ding and Cao Song are not allowed to enter'." Zhao Yan thought of this and said to himself.

Although Zhao Yan understood that Cao Song's stealing behavior was a psychological disorder, he could not treat it. First, he only knew some basic knowledge about psychology, and second, this pathological theft did not have particularly symptomatic drugs. This psychological disorder mainly occurs in adolescence, and may disappear as he grows older, and may accompany him for a lifetime. No one can say that.

The paintings stolen by Cao Song are not considered valuable. For Zhao Yan, those are just his own practice works. As long as he is willing, he can spend a few days to draw them, so he will steal them. What's more, Cao Song is also a friend worth making. At least he still owes others thousands of guan and has not paid them back. Those paintings are considered interest for owing money.

At the same time, on the bank of the Bian River not far northwest of the Guangyang County Prince's Mansion, a team of more than a dozen people were walking along the river bank. The leader was riding a tall horse, wearing a thick straw raincoat, and a straw hat on his head. Under the straw hat, a slightly tender face was exposed, with a slightly flushed face. He turned out to be a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

The people behind the young people were also wearing straw raincoats, but the rain in the sky was too heavy, and the heavy straw raincoat could not block the rain, making them wet all over. However, even so, they still did not forget their responsibilities. Whenever they passed by the bridge on the Bian River, someone would run to the bridge and throw the measuring rope down to measure the depth of the water.

"Your Highness King Ying, the depth of the Bian River is now more than two meters. The river water in some places has flowed out of the river channel. Some families on both sides have been flooded by the river water. Now the water in the upper reaches of the Yellow River explodes and it is likely to rush into the Bian River. The Bian River embankment will probably be difficult to block such floods. At that time, most of the Kaifeng City will be flooded!" A man who had just measured the depth of the water quickly ran to the young man riding a horse and told him.

After hearing this young man, who was called King Ying, had a flushed and unusual look of worry on his face. It had been raining for a month in Kaifeng. Although it was not heavy at the beginning, it washed the soil on the river bank very softly. It suddenly turned into heavy rain in the past few days, which made the river water explode. If this continues, the consequences may be unimaginable.

"Cough~ Cough..., let's go forward for a while, measure the river water more, and then record it in detail. I want to show it to my father at night. With these, my father can convince the ministers in the court to organize the civilians to clear the river!" The boy immediately coughed violently, and then he said intermittently.

"King Ying, you injured your arm when you investigated the river yesterday. Now the wound is a little inflamed and your body is also feverish. You must not be wet from the rain anymore. You should go back home quickly to rest. It is enough to measure the river with people like me!" Hearing the boy's violent cough, the person who reported immediately spoke anxiously, although the safety of the river is very important, in comparison, the body of the Prince Ying in front of you is more important.

"No hurry. Not far ahead is the third brother's Guangyang County Prince's Mansion. We can go forward while measuring. Then I will go to the third brother's mansion for a rest!" The young man insisted. The name of this King Ying is Zhao Xu, who is Zhao Yan's eldest brother, and later Song Shenzong. Compared with other brothers, Zhao Xu has been named Prince and has a higher title than the Prince, which also represents his identity as the prince of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing Zhao Xu persisting so much, the people below were not good to say anything. They could only speed up the depth of the river channel and whether the embankments on both sides were solid, etc. This Bian River is the lifeline of Kaifeng City to the outside world. If it was sunny, the cargo ships and grain ships on the river kept flowing, but with the explosion of the river water and heavy rain and strong winds, it made it impossible to sail on the river at all. There were only rolling turbid waves on the river surface, and there were no ships to see at all.

Zhao Xu was Zhao Shu's eldest son. After Zhao Shu ascended the throne, although he did not officially give him the crown prince, he actually trained him as the crown prince, and his title was one level higher than that of Zhao Yan and other princes. However, this made Zhao Xu much more demanded than other brothers. For example, Zhao Yan was just a leisurely prince and could even fight with a group of playboys. However, Zhao Xu participated in the government early and helped his father handle some government affairs.

During this period, the city of Kaifeng has been raining continuously, and the rivers around the city are full, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River have also rained on a large scale. If this continues, Kaifeng City may be flooded. In this case, Zhao Shu wanted to allocate money to organize civil servants to clear the river channel and strengthen the river embankment at the same time, but this requires the consent of Han Qi and other ministers, so Zhao Xu was sent to record the water level information of several important rivers in Kaifeng City, the most important of which is the Bian River under their feet.

Originally, the river was relatively calm a few days ago, so Zhao Xu kept taking a boat to record the situation of the river on the river surface. However, yesterday a flood peak rushed from the upper reaches of the Bian River. As a result, not only did the entire Bian River explode, but the river surface also rolled, almost overturning the boat Zhao Xu was on. Zhao Xu was even injured on the rolling boat, and his arm was cut into a palm-long hole. At that time, Zhao Xu felt that the wound was not very deep, so he casually bandaged it and continued to work. However, he didn't expect that he was wet yesterday and the wound was red and swollen today, and the whole person also had a fever. But despite this, he still insisted on completing the measurement of the river, because this was the last section of the river, and Zhao Xu didn't want to give up halfway.

Looking at the surging river water in front of him through the rain curtain, Zhao Xu was even more worried about the safety of Kaifeng City. At the same time, he felt the rain seeping in from the gap in the straw raincoat, wet all over his body, especially the wound on his right arm. It hurt and itchy at the beginning, making people want to dig the piece of meat, but now it is numb. Zhao Xu feels that his right arm is no longer his own, and it is very difficult to move.

What's worse is that Zhao Xu started to have a fever this morning. Now his whole body is wet with rain. Zhao Xu feels that there is no heat in his body, and even his hands and feet are trembling involuntarily. His mind is also confused. His eyes are getting dark from time to time. At first, Zhao Xu felt that he could support him, but now his body is getting colder and colder. His eyes are getting darker and longer.

"Bang~" Zhao Xu was still unable to support him at all. He fell from the horse to the mud on the ground. The hat on his head also rolled aside, revealing Zhao Xu's face flushed due to a high fever.

"Your Highness Ying King!" Until Zhao Xu fell off his horse, the guards and officials around him also exclaimed. The nearest guard immediately rushed off his horse and helped Zhao Xu up. However, no matter how he shouted, Zhao Xu did not react at all, and his forehead was astonishingly hot.
