But even if he guessed that this was a pit dug by the other party for himself, there was no way out now, and the two in front of him were not something that such a courtier could afford to provoke. So Liu Chaofeng could only bow his head: "I don't know what the two adults want Xiao Lao'er to do, as long as it can be done, Xiao Lao'er will not dare to refuse." ”

Xu Chengzong grinned, glanced at Lu Zhen again, and then took out one from his sleeve and asked Ah Hu next to him to hand it over. Liu Chaofeng respectfully took it with both hands, and swept it away, but saw that there were dozens of things listed on it, all of which were antiques, treasures, gems, and jade.

"Are you looking for these treasures?" Liu Chaofeng vaguely guessed something, and hurriedly asked.

"My son was robbed in the courtyard of the capital and lost these things, if someone takes these to your Ji family pawnshop, you know what to do, right?" Xu Chengzong pursed his lips and said.

Liu Chaofeng nodded hurriedly: "Little Lao'er understands, once this really happens, we will definitely leave people behind and report it to Gongzi in time." But in his heart, he was very unimpressed, with the momentum of the Xu family in the court, which thief who did not open his eyes dared to go to his other courtyard to steal things? Even if there is, there are a large number of soldiers and horses stationed in the Xu family's courtyard, and ordinary thieves don't even want to go in, let alone steal things out. Obviously, this is not as simple as he said.

But even if he knew that the other party had something to hide, Liu Chaofeng didn't dare to break it, let alone disobey, because his life was already in the hands of the other party at this time. As Xu Chengzong, getting rid of a little person like himself is like pinching an ant to death, so he can only obey orders.

Seeing him nodding, Xu Chengzong smiled with some satisfaction: "Ah Hu, you will stay here and watch from today onwards, and it is easy to help if you have something." ”

"Yes." The strong man Ah Hu agreed expressionlessly. But Liu Chaofeng felt a headache, there was such a person around him, and he could only work hard for the other party.

After deciding the matter, Xu Chengzong didn't have the heart to stay in this pawnshop any longer, yawned, and turned to leave. Seeing this, Lu Zhen also went out, and this time he asked the other party to help, and it was right.

After walking out of the pawnshop, the man who had just looked at the rather embarrassed man who took the night pearl to pawn straightened his waist and said to Xu Chengzong with a smile: "Son, how did I play this time?" ”

"Yes, the old fox in no one was suspicious, so that he fell into the calculations of this son, you should be the first to take the lead. Lu Jin, what do you think? ”

"This Brother Ruan is really good, if I hadn't known that he was the person you sent by Xu Gongzi, I would have thought he was a thief." Lu Zhen responded playfully.

All of this is a pit, which was planned by Lu Zhen and Xu Chengzong together, and let the Ji family pawnshop obediently do things for them.

The day before yesterday, when Lu Zhen felt that those stolen things might be the key clues to find out the truth of the arson case, he began to think about where to start. Immediately, he thought of selling the stolen goods, those guys didn't have too much appreciation, and if they stole so many antique calligraphy, paintings and treasures, they would definitely want to get rid of them in exchange for money.

Although this case has only happened for a few days, generally speaking, you should avoid the limelight first and not rush to make a move. However, he speculated that if the matter was really done by the factory guards, then they would not have been too patient, and they should have thought of cashing in the things in the short term.

Yue Liqiu of the county government is very experienced in this regard, and immediately gave the Ji family pawnshop, the most likely middleman to take over the stolen goods. However, then he also mentioned that the background of this Ji family pawnshop is not simple, but the county government came to the door, and I am afraid that the other party may not be willing to buy the account and listen to the order.

So, Lu Zhen thought of finding a helper. And Xu Chengzong, because of the previous Guangning Bofu incident, was regarded by Lu Zhen as the biggest helper. In fact, after that incident, Lu Zhen also went to thank this prince and established some friendship with him.

When Lu Zhen came to the door again and asked him for help, Xu Gongzi, who was a little bored, agreed without thinking too much. The matter of Guangning Bofu before obviously made him feel very interesting, and this time he agreed to help Lu Zhen again. Not only that, Xu Chengzong also came up with such a method to lure the other party into the pit first, and then slap him in the face and coerce him.

In fact, with Xu Chengzong's identity, there is no need to do these things at all, he directly shows his identity, and he is not afraid that the other party will not cooperate. But he still decided to play this one, which led to everything that happened before, so that the pawnshop was deflated, and he lost more than 500 taels of silver in vain.

At this time, Xu Chengzong had already taken out the silver ticket with a smile and looked it up and down for a while, and then threw it to Lu Zhen beside him: "This son can't look down on this bit of silver, so give it to you." ”

"Young Master Xu, this ......" Lu Zhen took it, and hesitated a little, wanting to return it. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Chengzong had already looked over: "If this son is a friend, he will put away the silver ticket." Otherwise, I'll go back and tell the old fellow that what I just did is null and void. ”

"Forehead ......" Lu Zhen touched his nose a little helplessly, the temper of these children of the family is really weird, they actually forcibly send silver, and if they don't accept it, they will turn their faces. Fortunately, he is not a stubborn person, since the other party said so, he had to accept it with a smile: "In this way, thank you Xu Gongzi." ”

"It's a trivial matter, who told you to be right about my son's appetite. This time, you're dealing with the factory guards, and I admire you more and more. Xu Chengzong glanced at him with a smile: "But this matter can also help you get here, how to investigate the case in the future, I will not interfere." ”

"Xu Gongzi can help me get here, Lu Zhen is full of gratitude, and I will handle other things." Lu Zhen smiled and said, he didn't expect the other party to wade into this muddy water.

"Okay, then let's say goodbye, if there is anything interesting in the future, come to this son again." Xu Chengzong waved his hand and said. Then, I remembered something and frowned: "But I'm afraid I don't have much chance, I've been in the capital for more than half a year, and I've been urging Nanjing several times, I'm afraid I'll have to go back in April at the latest." If you go to Nanjing in the future, you can come to the Wei Mansion to find me. ”

"Then I will wish Xu Gongzi a smooth journey for you." Lu Zhen hurriedly arched his hand.

Xu Chengzong smiled casually, and then took someone to leave. After a certain distance from Lu Jin, the companion and guard next to him asked with some hesitation: "Childe, I really don't understand, why do you help such a small county commander several times?" ”

"Because it's fun, he does all the interesting things, it was like this in Guangning Bofu before, and this time it's also average, I stay in the capital so idle, I can have this lively look, naturally I have to make a foot." Xu Chengzong replied casually.

But the person next to him just smiled, and his expression was obviously unbelieving. His own son-in-law looks like a gentleman, but in fact, it is just an illusion, he has a good mind, how can he repeatedly help Lu Zhen such a small county commander for a fun reason?

Seeing his thoughts, Xu Chengzong couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Okay, I helped him because I knew that he would have a bright future in the future." Yang Pu and Hu Hu both value him very much, don't look at him as a county magistrate in Jingxian County now, in a few years, he will definitely be able to become a pivotal figure in this court. There's nothing wrong with befriending someone like that. ”

This reason is certainly convincing enough, but Xu Chengzong only said half of it, and he will not say another reason that is more hidden.

In this regard, Lu Jin, who watched him leave, was also muttering in his heart. He also felt very incomprehensible to this Xu Gongzi, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. But one thing is certain, this person should have no ill will towards himself, and he can even be regarded as a nobleman.

If you can't figure it out, then you don't want to. Lu Zhen quickly put Xu Chengzong aside in advance, and began to think about what he should do next, once he really took those guys, how to find out the truth about the arson case from them, so as to rescue the people of the Qingzhu Gang......

@@@@@

Three days passed quickly, but what Lu Zhen hoped for did not happen. Lin Lie took more than a dozen county officials to ambush outside the Ji family's pawnshop in disguise for a few days, and he didn't see any suspicious people come to pawn those things, as if the other party really just stole things and hid them in his own home.

After guarding like this for three days, several errand officers were a little breathless, and couldn't help but speak in front of Lin Lie: "Lin Bantou, will those thieves really be so arrogant to take thieves in the capital?" Wouldn't they sneak things out of town and then find someone to take them over? ”

"Yes, Lin Bantou, and now the thieves are not so stupid, the case has only happened for a short time, they will always know how to avoid the limelight, how can they come here to sell the stolen goods at this time?"

After listening to the words of a few people, Lin Lie was silent for a while, and then said: "This is what adults mean, we just have to watch." Adults have their own reasons for doing things. ”

After glancing at them, he continued: "Those stolen things are worth a lot of money, except for the capital, and only rich places such as Jiangnan can be sold for money, but then the freight is high. So they will definitely think of getting rid of it in the capital. ”

A few officers who didn't know the inside story and thought it was just an ordinary thief heard this, so they had to say yes and continue to pay attention to the pawnshop in front of them.

After a while, a carriage parked in front of the pawnshop attracted their attention, as several men suddenly came down from it. These people were all dressed short, and two of them also carried a large wooden box, which looked quite heavy, and I saw that they were heading towards the Ji family's pawnshop.

"Cheer up, keep an eye on it!" Lin Lie's eyes flashed, and his hand was already pressed on the saber on his waist. The footsteps of those people made him see that they were all practitioners, maybe they were the people he had been waiting for!
