Chapter Seventy-Three: Theft and Planting
"That's good, five hundred and thirty taels of silver, since this dog official dares to ask for it, we dare to give it, Brother Yue doesn't, there are always people in this Wangwu County, I don't know if this Wangwu is rich and unkind, and the bullies in the township are rampant?" Zhu Li narrowed her eyes slightly and asked indifferently.
As soon as these words came out, Yue Pengju looked stunned, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that the envoy wants to do the thing of robbing the rich and helping the poor and punishing the bullies?" ”
"Hahaha, Zhu Mou has this intention, ill-gotten gains, and it is more appropriate to take the rescue hero." Zhu Li didn't deny it, and admitted with a laugh.
This is a good idea, Yue Pengju and Tan Erhu glanced at each other, their eyes flashed with fine light, but he has always been upright, and he will think about this aspect.
And Zhu Li is different, he comes from a later generation, and his mind is naturally more open-minded.
Besides, he is now a native of Shuozhou, after doing it, pat his ass and leave, even if these local squires and elders investigate a clue in the future, they can still go to Zhu Li to settle accounts, give them a bold, they don't dare.
"This matter is sooner rather than later, Brother Yue knows more about the situation of the Wang House than I do, so Brother Yue will choose the object, and I will be responsible for it." Zhu Li said unscrupulously, now that he has confirmed that Yue Pengju is Yue Fei's reincarnation, then Yang Zaixing's identity, I'm afraid it is also eight or nine or ten, after all, this name is very distinctive, not everyone will be named like this.
The plan must be discussed, Yue Pengju did not hesitate, and took Zhu Li down the mountain that day, of course, he went to step on the point, Yue Pengju joined the army as a county, but how many major events like going out can there be in a county, although he joined the army as a soldier, but in ordinary official business, most of the people he dealt with were some ruffians and traitors, so he was naturally familiar with their set.
Soon Yue Pengju designated a wealthy family in Wangwu, and the head of the family was named Wang Doujin, who was originally just a broken household in Wangwu County, and even wandered into the market for a time, idle.
But he had a good fate, one of his uncles named Wang Zhongxian, who entered the palace as a eunuch in his early years, and made a fortune when Xizong was in power, which made Wang Doujin quickly run away.
Even when Kang Shi was the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, he did not dare to move him easily, and the successive envoys of the Xuanwu Festival would not provoke him for no reason, so this person in Wangwu County can be said to be rampant and lawless.
Fortunately, this person has no talent, and he has no ambitions, he only knows that he is blindly greedy for money, rampant in the township, fish and flesh people, and has a huge net worth, but he does not pull out a dime to the villagers.
The courtyard of Wang Doujin's house is adjacent to the street, just next to a restaurant, Yue Pengju took Zhu Li to the second floor of the restaurant, chose a window position and sat down, called the doctor to serve two plates of side dishes, a pot of wine, and waved the doctor away, facing the window, carefully observing the pattern of the palace. (Doctor: The Tang Dynasty's name for the shopkeeper.) )
The pattern of the palace is somewhat similar to Zhu Li's Thorn History Mansion in Shuozhou, facing south and sitting north, with three sets of courtyards, and the location of the vault is probably in the inner courtyard, but a day's observation has not explored the specific location.
This made Yue Pengju's face very embarrassed, after all, it was only right to get the money early, and it was only right to redeem Yang Zaixing and the Song family's lady as soon as possible.
Now that the palace treasury can't be sure, it's no wonder that his face can be good-looking.
In this regard, Zhu Li raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and said: "Don't panic, Zhu has his own way to let them take me to the location of the vault by themselves." ”
Yue Pengju was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "So that the king's plan will be released?" ”
"Hahaha, don't worry, let me sell it first, and when the plan is successful, you will naturally know, and it won't work if you say it." Zhu Li smiled confidently, "You can pick me up outside the backyard at night, and if you take the money, go to that Song Zhixian to redeem people." ”
"Okay, if you succeed in stealing the silver and help Yue save his brother, Yue is willing to swear to repay the envoy to the death with today's grace." Yue Pengju is not ambiguous, he has an impulse early in the morning, he wants to follow Zhu Li, but he has never had a chance to speak, if Zhu Li can really steal money and silver this time and rescue Yang Zaixing this time, he will naturally push the boat and follow this young assassin who makes him optimistic at a glance.
"Okay, Brother Yue, let's wait and see." Zhu Li did not refuse, refused Yue Fei to take refuge in himself, Zhu Li's brain has not yet entered the water, so he will naturally not be modest, not to mention that he is alone now, and there is no one around him to help him, Yue Pengju and Yang Zaixing are definitely competent thugs, of course, they can only be used as thugs now.
At night, the moon is hidden and the stars are scarce, and the earth is dark, as if the heavens are all contributing to this.
Zhu Li and Yue Pengju came to the courtyard wall of the backyard of the palace, nodded to each other, and Zhu Li slipped into the palace, he observed in the dark, first chose a small room, and entered it in a flash.
The little girl's room was quite dark, Zhu Li covered the door, and adapted to the darkness for a while, and then you looked at it, and saw a young little girl, drooling with crystal saliva, sleeping like a pig on the bed, I don't know what good things to dream of.
This scene was in his arms, Zhu Li tiptoed to the bedside, secretly took the clothes that the little guy had taken off, quickly changed them to his body, tidied up a little, and went out of the door with a smoke, and after closing the door, he ran towards the inner courtyard openly.
Because he was wearing the costume of a servant in the house, although some people on duty at night felt strange, few people came forward to interrogate, but when he arrived at the gate of the backyard, he was stopped by a servant woman, obviously this person was the night watchman of the inner courtyard, Zhu Li was wearing a small house's clothes, and he was definitely not a person from the inner courtyard.
The servant woman had a face, and opened her mouth to reprimand: "What are you doing in a panic, the guts are too fat, what kind of place is this, dare to trespass, be careful to let Ah Lang know, beat your little monkey to death with a stick." ”
Zhu Li lowered his head, pretended to be frightened, and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I don't dare, but when I went to the toilet just now, I found a few thieves near the thatched house." ”
"Thieves?" The servant woman was shocked.
"Well, yes, they didn't know when they got into the mansion, and they were discussing how to steal the property in the mansion, saying that they would loot the Wang family's treasury and present it to the newly appointed Chief Manager Zhu.
The servant woman was even more shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "There is such a thing, where are the thieves?" ”
"I didn't see it clearly, they all seemed to be groping in the direction of the inner courtyard." Zhu Li still pretended to be timid, and said tremblingly.
When the servant woman heard this, she had no patience to continue the questioning, and hurriedly instructed, "You wait here, and I'll come when I go." Before she could finish speaking, she turned and ran towards the courtyard, apparently to tell the person in charge of the inner court.
Zhu Li looked at the servant's panicked back, and there was a look of joy in her eyes that the conspiracy had succeeded.
Since Wang Doujin is Wang Zhongxian's relative, wouldn't it be better if he could provoke this eunuch to fight with Zhu Wen, anyway, neither of them is a good thing, although Zhu Wen is not as bad as recorded in the literature of later generations, but this person really framed him a while ago, and he doesn't mind hacking him again.
After only a moment's wait, he immediately dodged after him, far behind the servant, but he ran very carefully, keeping his body hidden in the darkness to avoid being discovered.
However, after the tea effort, I saw that the servant woman stopped in front of the door of a main house, and said anxiously: "Ah Lang, big lady, woe, woe, a thief has entered the house and stolen it." ”
"What?" The screams of the servant immediately alarmed the people in the room, and with a question, the sound of dressing was heard in the room, and it seemed that someone had woken up from a dream and hurriedly got up.
In less than half an hour, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with a misdressed monkey cheek stepped out first, followed by a woman with a horse's face and thin lips, who should be Wang Doujin's wife.
"Are you telling the truth?" Wang Doujin's expression was gloomy, and he shouted at the servant woman.
The servant woman bowed down and bowed, and said respectfully: "The slave and maid don't dare, the maid also heard from a toilet maid in the outer courtyard, he said that the thieves discussed wanting to loot the vault and present it to the new chief manager Zhu, and then they came in the direction of the inner courtyard." ”
"What, you want to steal my silver and buy Zhu Wen, what about people, where is the little guy who found the thief?" Wang Doujin frowned and asked indignantly.
The servant didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Just outside the courtyard, the slave didn't dare to let him in without permission, so she had to let him wait at the door." ”
"Well, I'll take a look." Wang Doujin thought about it, and decided to go and ask about the situation.
It's just that the thin-lipped woman behind him said very impatiently: "What do you see, in the middle of the night, Ah Lang, let's go to the vault to have a look, as long as the vault is fine, won't it be at ease?" ”
When Wang Doujin heard this, he felt reasonable, so he turned back to the servant woman and instructed, "You go and bring that little guy in for me, and I'll go and see the situation in the vault first." ”
The servant woman answered, and hurried to the road, while Wang Doujin immediately carried the lantern and the thin-lipped woman along the corridor towards the side of the main house.
Zhu Li saw that the target was hooked, and hurriedly followed quietly, Wang Doujin and his wife turned around, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary attic.
The couple looked around and found that there was something unusual around, so they reached out and took off something like a necklace from their necks, took off a key from it, and then opened the door.
It seemed that the location of the vault was here, and Zhu Li determined the location, so he no longer hesitated, tiptoed around to the side of the attic, stood under the wall, looked up, and soon found that there was a window set there.
