It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Rongguo Mansion was silent. Because Jia Yu Ye and his wife were the internal response, Gong San also personally went out to secretly throw a lot of sweat medicine into the kitchen, and the mansion slept very peacefully.

At six o'clock, Jia Si led the team to divide the current manpower of about 50 people into ten groups and a group of five, with a black handkerchief on his face, and a bright oil lamp in his hand, and went to the inner wall and other people's residences according to the door set earlier. There are about 200 households in Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Yu thinks that not all of them are greedy for ink, and only half of the money and goods can be made from the books or the treasury. Therefore, each group had more than 10 households to be searched that night. If it's just an ordinary household use; If anything that should not be with them, such as a large amount of silver or an antique ornament that is clearly brought from the treasury, it shall be taken away. If you sleep and die on the kang, first take the cover and roll it down and put it on the ground, and then put it back on the kang after checking it. Occasionally, those who had not eaten and woken up for some reason, slashed with a knife before shouting, and immediately fainted, and then poured sweat medicine to let them sleep for several hours.

Another group of one person, holding a coarse paper and charcoal pencil, recorded what they had received from which household. This is Jia Cong's idea, "Take the opportunity to find out which of the unclean ones are the most unclean, and find an opportunity to pass them away in the future, otherwise you will definitely continue to be greedy for ink in the future." ”

The fight outside Ning Rong Street made Ge Liu stunned and threw him back to his own house. Another seven or eight people prepared a lot of rattan boxes and sacks to be packed in the patio inside the west corner door.

I thought it would be just a few hours, but I never thought that these people were very bold and had a lot of things, and it took two hours to finish them all, but fortunately, there were a lot of rattan boxes and sacks prepared. Jia Yu suddenly didn't feel at ease with the other half, so he asked everyone to work hard to search those children as well. Sure enough, even though the logistics brigade was quite soft-handed, they still found a lot of things that were not rewarded by their daily masters at a glance, and they were not all busy until two o'clock in the morning. The whole house is so clean that they have never started it, but only two or three out of ten. It was the first time for everyone to do such a big vote, and they were well prepared before, and they were all very energetic, and they were not tired at all.

Seeing that when everyone began the second wave of packing, Ge Liu went out to deliver the letter, and before he finished loading, a large carriage came to the west corner gate, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cloth, and the sound was much quieter when they stepped on the ground. Fortunately, these were transported to the Taiping Dart Bureau, and the journey was not far. At this time, everyone knew why Gong Sanyi chose the location of the dart game quite close to Rongguo Mansion, and they admired it very much. The brothers marched at night, and the wagons were loaded and loaded. Jia Yu's father and son saw that the last carriage was also loaded, Fang and Gong Sanyi and others were in the same car, Ge Liu locked the west corner door and drove forward, and followed.

When it came to the dart board, the various boxes and sacks were neatly transported into a large cellar. According to Jia Cong's mentions, the boxes and sacks are numbered with charcoal, which is very beautiful at a glance. Gong San also said with a smile: "This cellar was originally very small, after we bought it, I made people dig it to be as big as it is now, and said that it was going to be used for cellar ice in the summer, and I guessed that it would be used in this time." ”

Jia Yu was also very happy to see that the harvest was good, and now he had long been accustomed to seeing that the slave family had hidden many things from the Rongguo Mansion, so he was no longer angry, and flattered Gong Sanye: "Mr. Gong always wants to be in front of people. ”

When this time was approaching, Jia Yu couldn't help but be glad that last night's medicine was enough, otherwise someone in the house would have woken up. After a little settlement, Jia Yu said to everyone: "Brothers are very hard tonight, but they still have to work hard for a day, and the brothers on duty should not rest, so that no one can see that we have moved at night." ”

The brothers laughed and said, "Where can I sleep?" ”

Jia Cong was secretly funny, he was really fine as a thief.

A few more words of advice, let Jia Si give everyone hard money first, and everyone laughed; Jia Yu hurriedly led his two sons and his son Wu Leopard back in the carriage. Fortunately, it was the wax moon, and it was dark, and the five of them returned to their respective residences, although they knew that they were all asleep, they still couldn't help tiptoeing to change their clothes and settle down, but none of them could sleep.

The next day, until the third shot of the sun, the people in Rongguo's mansion gradually woke up. It was as if it was on fire. Because the hat and the words "Robin Hood" are generously painted at the gate of Zhou Rui's house, there is no need to ask who did it. Jia Mu was shocked when she learned about it, and shouted "It's the opposite"! Busy sending people to call Jia for pardon and Jia Zheng.

At this time, Jia Yu fell asleep. Because he didn't close his eyes for a night, Jia's mother sent the person who came to call him to wake up after spending half a day, so he had to go back. Because there are still many people who have not woken up at this time, Jia Mu did not suspect it, but asked people to wipe his face with cold water to wake him up.

Jia Yu yawned and went to Jia's mother's yard with a confused look, and it took a long time to understand after listening to the people below: "That Arhat soldier robbed our family's subordinates in the area of the inner wall of our house last night? ”

Jia Mu said with a calm face: "I'm afraid it's revenge!" ”

Jia Yu was stunned: "Revenge on what?" ”

Jia Mu stared at him fiercely: "Didn't you send a post to the Five Cities Terracotta Division yesterday and let them work hard to investigate the case?" ”

Jia Yu was dumbfounded: Mother, you can really guess! I didn't even think of your son, and hurriedly said, "What the old lady said is very true! Fortunately, they only plundered people, and they didn't have much money to take from them. ”

Jia Mu naturally knew how rich the people in the house were, but it was inconvenient to say it directly, so she only hated to use crutches on the ground. He asked Jia Zheng again.

Jia Zhengdao: "Although we only robbed the subordinates, it is from our house after all, so we should report to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division as soon as possible, so that they can solve the case quickly." ”

Jia Yu was extremely sleepy at this time, covered his mouth with his sleeve and yawned: "Why don't you make someone run again?" I was really sleepy. My people have been there once yesterday. After saying that, he only said that he had a headache, confessed to Jia's mother, and went back to sleep.

Jia Mu was helpless, pointed at his back and scolded for a long time, then looked at Jia Zheng and sighed: "Now I can only rely on you." ”

Jia Zheng said: "I heard that the mansion was asleep until this time before waking up, and there are many people who have not woken up, it is obvious that the thieves have taken sweat medicine." It's just that there are so many people up and down in our family, how did they get down? ”

Jia Mu said: "I also can't live because of this matter, and I haven't even let go of the dog." I'm afraid there are internal ghosts. A few of them woke up without dinner last night, so it can be seen that the medicine was in the dinner of the house last night. The ones in our kitchen have to be carefully examined. According to those who were awake at the time, they actually broke into the house with oil lamps. They all said that there were five people, wearing black night clothes and covering their faces with veils. It's only five people! He plundered hundreds of people in our house. If they come in and kill people and set fires, will they pay back? ”

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "I heard that they have been robbing the minions of various families in the capital for more than a month, and it is impossible for there to be internal ghosts everywhere. Where did they get so many informants? ”

Jia Mu shook her head and said: "Those are all the outer houses of the subordinates, how many families have invited the nursing home?" How does it compare with our huge national mansion. That's it, this natural government will go and check. Some neighbors who got up in the middle of the night said that many black carriages ran out of Ningrong Street, and they were very generous, and they thought that we were moving things in the house, which showed how unscrupulous they were. Hurry up and run for yourself. ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly responded, went back to change his clothes, and went to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in person.

The commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division made Zhao Cheng get the orders of the superiors, and all the looting slaves were ignored, and he hurriedly sent a few people to the Rongguo Mansion to see the scene and ask the witnesses, and asked, "Has the Zunfu ever been lost?" ”

Jia Zhengdao: "Not really. It's just that the mansion has fascinated him, and the old lady is very frightened. ”

Zhao Chengdao: "Don't worry, my lord, this Robin Hood is not the first time to attack the slave's family, and he has never touched the master's family in the slightest." ”

Jia Zhengdao: "It's just that if he wants to move one day, how easy it is." I hope you don't slack off. ”

Zhao Cheng said yes again and again, and he lost his smile and packed the ticket, and coaxed Jia Zheng away vigorously. As soon as Jia Zheng left, the officials immediately gathered around and whispered: "Who is this Robin Hood?" ”

One said: "In the past, you guessed that it was the person from above, but you just didn't believe it." Otherwise, how can anyone from above not let us solve the case. ”

The other said, "What are the people above doing in trouble with these slaves?" ”

This said: "Now just looking at the Rongguo Mansion case, you can know it, where can ordinary people do it?" There are so many portals, so neat, and I haven't touched the slightest bit when I hear about the small reward of the moon, if it is really a person in the green forest, where can I bear it? It must be in the barracks. And it must be a strong army, and if it is not even, it is the Royal Forest Army. ”

The other one said: "Nonsense, how can there be a royal forest army to rob the slaves, they are not short of money, I heard that they have more than us." ”

This said: "They may not be short of money, I heard that there is a shortage of money today!" ”

When Zhao Cheng came back, he was scolded when he heard the split: "Shut up!" No gibberish. ”

The crowd dispersed.

There are also people near the dart bureau and halfway down the road to see their carriage at night, because Gong San also spread the news that "there are often guests who come in in the middle of the night" soon after the opening, and he has also pretended to transport things into the dart board at various hours of the night many times, and the neighbors only think it is a strange dart, and it is not surprising. Occasionally, I guessed that the owner of the dart game was the head of Rongguo Mansion, and he didn't do anything else; Besides, those rich slaves were both slaves and extremely wealthy, and they had long been displeasing to the eye, but many of them were happy to see the name of Robin Hood appear in the gossip of the market. There was even more trouble to inquire about the government, but there was no reward for this case, and even if the news was given, it was just a false promise, and he didn't bother to offend the Taiping Dart Bureau and pardon him.

Afterwards, Gong San also smiled and said: "Such a big event and not being in the wild, it can't be thoughtful." However, the hearts of people in the market are unpredictable, or lazy, or not troublesome, or jealous, or unprofitable, so we look at the adventure, but in fact, there is no danger, and the peace is good. Jia Yu and the others all admired it.

As a result, rumors spread in the market that "Robin Hood" was a big man who used to lead four brothers, wearing hats, black scarves, and oil lamps, to break into the homes of powerful and wealthy slaves and seize property. All kinds of stories have sprung up, and more clever storytellers have made up this as a joke and talked about it in the teahouse, and Beijing is lively for a while.

Rongguo Mansion will patrol every day from this day. Because the thief was a subordinate, and none of them were lazy, and everyone wished that Robin Hood would come at this time, so that they could fight him hard.

Jia's mother also asked some people to investigate carefully, and the subordinates in their house have all the skills to eat, drink and gamble money, and there are many people who have money and money for the month, and there are not many people who can do things, and the kitchen is even more wronged, and they can't find out anything for a while. Besides, Gong Sanyi's ability is where they can find clues. Only the guard at the northwest corner gate replied, and after dinner last year, Zhou Rui's family went out sneakily for most of the hour. Because of Jia's amnesty reminder, Jia's mother asked someone to check the heads of the robbers in and out of the house, but only Zhou Rui's family survived! When he became suspicious of their house, he immediately made a secret watch on their family's every move. It's just that both of them are Madame Wang's confidants, and they know a lot of secrets, so it's inconvenient to sue the official at will.

This matter has nothing to do with the little masters in the house, Jia Cong'er has nothing to do, and he still goes to Lin Hai with Jia Huan to study, and informs Lin Hai of this gossip.

Lin Hai Daqi: "This kind of thief is also interesting. I think that those rich slaves have taken a lot of things from their masters in their homes, but they may not dare to tell the truth to the officials. ”

Mi'er said: "This is the cleverness of that Luo Daxia." Since they haven't stolen much, and they themselves are slaves, how can the officials seriously investigate them? ”

Jia Cong interjected: "I'm afraid that Brother Xianwang's family loses a dog, and they pay more attention than them." ”

Lin Hai only criticized "naughty", Hengzhu was just some minions, and he didn't take it to heart, because he sent them to class and didn't mention it.

As the saying goes, a strict teacher makes a high apprentice, and Mr. Teaching also has an aura. Like Jia Huan, who cherishes the opportunity to study, and is as calm and down-to-earth as Mi'er, even if Mr. is a little hairy child, he can study his homework well; A frizzy student like Jia Cong, such as Lin Daiyu, who couldn't bear to criticize him too harshly, could only look at him and sigh; Lin Hai was full of prestige, he didn't even use a ring ruler, he just sat idly with a book next to him, and Jia Cong didn't dare to desert. In the past, he couldn't practice his words, but because his mind was too active, he couldn't calm down; It's only been more than a month here in Lin Hai, and the word frame is ready! Daiyu was a little unconvinced, and Lin Hai was triumphant.
