Chapter 156: Theft

Great Qin West Pole, Di Dao West to the West Eight Hundred Miles.

There is an island in the Hanhai Sea on the plateau, whose real name is Locust King Island, and there is an ancient locust tree that has been born for more than 1,000 years on Gaine Island.

Later, this place was occupied by a group of strongmen, and since then it has been renamed Shengmu Huangdao.

The island is overgrown with large trees, but among the big trees, and even on the big trees, there are traps, poisonous snakes, and fierce beasts.

The entire island was shrouded in a faint smoke, some of which contained strange poisons, others that were not.

If you are not from the island, the trespasser will die.

Today, however, a ship was in a hurry to dock, and before it could hold its ground, a man was seen rushing down, ignoring the dense traps and poisons on the island, and rushing all the way north.

Because he held a golden arrow in his hand, it was the arrow of the Sect Master.

This person rushed to a huge palace that was half hidden on the ground and half on the ground, raised the golden arrow in his hand, and said loudly: "One hundred thousand urgent, Su Hou asks to see the sect leader!" ”

Seeing him like this, the four men in black robes at the door looked at each other, and after one of them stepped forward to take the golden arrow, handed it to the person behind him, turned around and entered the palace, and the other three surrounded the people.

Looking at Su Hou, who was faintly excited and had ecstasy in his eyes, the three palace guards exchanged glances with each other, thoughtful.

However, after waiting for an hour, the guards who entered Tongbing came out again, half of their faces were rotten, and their voices were cold: "The sect leader has an order: if there is no thing to reach the sky, tear it alive and throw it into the snake." ”

Su Hou shuddered, and then hurriedly promised: "It must be a major event in the sky, a first-class event." ”

The guard snorted, glanced at Su Hou coldly, and then watched him with another person and entered the underground palace.

……

On the Flame Throne carved from a piece of fiery red fire jade, a man with a cloak of hair, red eyes, and a breathing sound of "Lotus Lotus" from his mouth sat on it, staring at the visitor with scarlet eyes.

Su Hou's heart was frightened when he saw it, and he was terrified and fearful.

Come to think of it, this is why the top level of the Saint Sect at the level of the Five Scattered People is qualified to practice the highest secret texts of this sect, but there are still only three or four people who practice in total.

Really, such a tragic situation is too shocking.

You must know that just six or seven years ago, this Holy Sect Leader was still a giant with extraordinary talent and extraordinary bearing, which was impressive.

It's only been a few years, and it's become such a half-human, half-demon......

Not daring to think about it, Su Hou bowed down and said: "Sect Leader Qiqi, my subordinates have discovered the heirs of the Medicine King Valley in the Canglan Mountains, and their medical skills are superb!" Now, the Holy Aunt is over there, and she has passed the eighth tribulation to become a high-grade grandmaster, and it seems that she has not been damaged...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, the person was shot at the Flame Throne in the air, and Su Hou's exclamation was only halfway before it came to an abrupt end.

For he looked in horror at the pair of scarlet eyes full of violence that were close at hand.

The breathing sound of "roar" and "roar" was like a dilapidated bellows, hitting Su Hou's face, and the stench made him almost faint.

"Nine Tribulation Needle, is it alive again?"

Demon Sect Leader Huang Jue's red eyes were almost burning, Su Hou endured the severe pain and fear in the place where he was arrested, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Sect Master, my subordinates have been ordered to monitor the Holy Aunt, and I didn't care about it, but later I found out that the Holy Aunt lived in an inn called Qingyun Village in Canglan Mountain. And the most peculiar thing about that cottage is not that their young female village owner has excellent swordsmanship and superb martial arts, but that the husband of the village owner has super medical skills. He actually saved the Beicang Khan twice, and I heard that the Beicang Khan was ambushed by the grandmaster of the Jixia School Palace, and was nailed to the ground with a sword, and his intestines flowed out, and he was actually rescued! For this reason, Beicang Khan sent a prefecture-level exercise to Qingyun Village, and the wife of the little god doctor became a grandmaster with this. At this point, the subordinates began to pay extra attention. Then I found out that the holy aunt was almost obedient to that little Langjun! It didn't take long for him to become a high-grade grandmaster, and together with the female king, he first killed Song Sicheng of Chu State, and almost killed Lu Daosheng, the tiger minister of Jiangbiao. Obviously, the Holy Aunt is already a high-grade grandmaster. Therefore, the subordinates concluded that the little divine doctor with medical skills was proficient in the Nine Tribulations Needle! ”

When Huang Jue heard this, his scorching eyes slowly regained their clarity, and the irritable bearing around him stabilized even more, he let go of Su Hou, stood up, and suddenly laughed loudly, and roared:

"Heaven will never stop me!"

The figure flashed and disappeared from the Flame Throne.

……

Qi State, Wei City.

Kuaijia, Longxi Hall.

Kuai Mingzheng, the seventh master of the Kuai family, who was in charge of the Kuai family's Sifang warehouse, had a gloomy face and paced back and forth in the hall.

However, it was Kuai Mingyi, the head of the Kuai family, who was indifferent and ate tea quietly.

Under the hall, several housekeepers and shopkeepers in charge of the Sifang Warehouse stood there, all sweating profusely, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

After pacing back and forth for dozens of steps, Kuai Ming suddenly paused, looked back at the few stewards and shopkeepers, his eyes breathed fire, and he scolded angrily: "It's really a ghost!" The door is not broken, no one has died, there is no movement, how many warehouses of cloth can be thrown for no reason? If it weren't for the loss of a lot of Luo Sha, Qingzhou would have to make winter clothes for the army, and I don't know when I would find out. I think it's a ghost, an inner ghost!! ”

When several of the Kuai family's housekeepers and the storekeeper heard this, they knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "Seventh Master, we have been born of the Kuai family for generations, how dare we do such a rebellious thing?" ”

and they gambled on curses, each more vicious than the other.

Kuai Mingzheng roared: "You all speak better than you sing, then let me ask you, where are those barns of cloth?" So much cloth, can you just do without it? ”

The housekeeper and the shopkeeper were speechless.

Kuai Mingyi, who had not spoken and was quietly eating tea, suddenly put down the tea cup and said slowly: "This matter is not their doing." ”

He has watched people all his life, and he is confident that he will never be wrong.

If even a few subordinates could look away, the Kuai family would not become more prosperous in his hands.

Seventh Master Kuai Mingzheng said with a sullen face when he heard this: "Fourth brother, if it weren't for the inner ghost, how could those warehouses of cloth disappear silently?" ”

Kuai Mingyi doesn't know this......

However, his face was silent, and he said lightly: "I will find someone to investigate this matter carefully, but seventh brother, don't reprimand them again until the truth is found out, they are all old people in the family, loyal, and will not do anything against the Lord." ”

Kuai Mingzheng naturally knew that his scheming fourth brother was winning people's hearts again, but he didn't dare to show it.

The Kuo family, a century-old family, has such a big family business, and the fierceness of the battle for "seizing the heir" is by no means imaginable by small families.

Kuai Mingyi was able to inherit the position of the head of the Kuai family with Xingsi because his previous three brothers died young.

Although all the evidence shows that their deaths have nothing to do with Kuai Mingyi, Kuai Mingzheng is still clear in his heart.

He doesn't need evidence, just to see who has the most benefits.

Since he understood this, he has become the reckless seventh master of the Kuai family, and he has won Kuai Mingyi's trust......

After Kuai Mingzheng and a few stewards and shopkeepers went down, Kuai Mingyi suddenly said to the empty room: "Old Kong, you went to the warehouse to see, but what did you find?" ”

A rickety figure appeared in the shadows, making it difficult to see, and the gong sounded: "Budang is lost recently, and some footprints are clear." It's just strange that it's just that the ground is mixed, and I can't see too much fame. It can be concluded that only the people who steal the cloth will not be too many. ”

Kuai Mingyi frowned when he heard this, and after a long silence, he said slowly: "If it is for money, there are more valuable commercial goods in the warehouse than coarse cloth, and most of the silk has not moved, but only takes coarse cloth, what is it for?" ”

After he got up and paced back and forth slowly two or three times, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to the rickety figure in the shadows: "Old Kong, you go to Qingyunzhai and go to see what kind of clothes the homeless people who ran to them are wearing!" ”

Kong Lao responded first, and then said: "The head of the family suspects, is it the hands and feet of the people of Qingyun Village?" ”

Kuai Mingyi shook his head and said, "It may not be them, but what they lack most now is coarse cloth." I thought that maybe they spent a lot of money to buy someone and then shipped it out of the warehouse......" As he spoke, he paused again and said softly: "But it doesn't make sense, hundreds of miles away, how did they transport it silently?" ”

Even with Kuai Mingyi's shrewdness, he would never dare to imagine that Qingyunzhai would let the second and third grandmasters do it, just to steal some coarse cloth from his warehouse.

It's just that if he can't think of this, the mystery of the theft of the warehouse, he can't figure it out.

After a long time, Kuai Mingyi's brows stretched, but he changed his mind and said: "Kong Lao will not go to Qingyun Village for the time being, I expect that the thief may not stop immediately, it is better for Kong Lao to go to the warehouse tomorrow night to keep watch and see if he can wait for someone to appear." ”

……

Qingyun Village, inside the warehouse.

In the afternoon, Huang Hong'er, who was arguing with Lin Ning and obtained a component of last night's harvest, invited Aunt Chun, Xiao Jiuniang, Deng Xueniang, Zhou Nini and Linglong Xiaodaogu and a number of women in the cottage to come and share the silk and satin she had robbed.

Seeing a group of women very surprised, one by one ready to divide some New Year's clothes and jackets to wear, Huang Hong'er was very proud, what women don't like these?

After glancing at Lin Ning, who had nothing to say, she said to Aunt Chun and the others: "Pick slowly, take a good look, don't worry, there are better ones there, I'll go get some back tomorrow!" ”

Lin Ning snorted and said, "Rest for the night tomorrow night, and don't go down the mountain." ”

Huang Hong'er said strangely: "Why do you want to rest for a night?" Didn't you say it would take a long time? ”

Lin Ning clasped her hands behind her head, pillowed on the cloth mountain stacked in the warehouse, and said with a smile: "Wu Niang has been running around for two days in a row, and she hasn't slept well, it's too hard, I want her to rest for a good night." ”

Huang Hong'er: "......"

Seeing Huang Hong'er's crying appearance, not to mention Aunt Chun, even Xiao Jiuniang was a little unbearable, and whispered to Lin Ning: "Brother-in-law, Sister Hong'er is also very hard." ”

When Huang Hong'er heard this, she was grateful.

Lin Ning smiled, naturally he didn't really do it for this reason, but had other extremely important things to do......

On the other side, Aunt Chun also helped Huang Hong'er say a few words, and she naturally saw Huang Hong'er's heart for Lin Ning.

Her own child is so likeable, she can only be happy.

But Deng Xueniang looked awkward, looked at Xiao Yi'er talking to Aunt Chun and Xiao Jiuniang, and a pair of eyes that I saw pity glanced at Lin Ning's Huang Hong'er from time to time, and then looked at her silly daughter who was still picking silk with Linglong Xiaodaogu.

Deng Xueniang only felt sad......
