In the early morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, it began to rain lightly.

Dong Ce, who had finished his morning exercise, sat under the eaves, looking at a drainage hole on the stone steps and was stunned, when suddenly, a bell sounded in the courtyard.

Dong Ce's sloppy gaze instantly focused, touching the little tiger lying next to the rocking chair, Dong Ce got up and went to open the door.

"Sect Master, it's done!" Zhang Dagui and Liuzi excitedly entered the academy with a wooden board that was six feet long and six feet high, like a cloth wrap.

Dong Ce lifted the cloth, not only saw the familiar picture, but also found that there were many inscriptions on the side that even Dong Ce was familiar with in the south of the Yangtze River.

Smiling slightly, Dong Ce said, "Yes, have the three thieves been released?" ”

"No, didn't the sect leader say that let them reunite, and didn't let his subordinates release people, how dare his subordinates make decisions on their own!" Zhang Dagui said with a smile.

Dong Ce gave him a thumbs up and said, "These three people are indeed of some use, after you go back, tell them, let them check some things for me again, of course, we pay, you don't treat them badly, give me good food and drink." ”

"Then I don't know what the Sect wants them to steal?" Zhang Dagui is like a curious baby.

"There is a view on the mountain outside the city, and there are often letters in and out of the view, and the content of these letters is what I want!"

"Understood!" Zhang Dagui knew it as soon as he heard it.

Nowadays, who else can there be in the Taoist temple north of the Yangtze River except Taiping Road?

They have now investigated the origin of the warbler for more than ten days, but there is no progress at all, this is also the disadvantage of Jiuliutang, they are indeed good at finding out the news, but they are limited to the surface, but the three thieves of the Chang family are different, they have skills, and they can find out more secrets!

Dong Ce asked them to steal the paintings, but it was to test the ability of the three thieves of the Chang family, and it was just a matter of revenge against Zhou Gongzi.

From only knowing who Zhou Gongzi is, to being able to obtain his treasured paintings, not to mention how difficult the process is, just such a big painting, how do you steal it?

Instead, it was Dong Ce, who directly took out a roll of canvas and rolled the frame aside.

However, he deliberately didn't say it in advance, just to see how they stole it, but it turned out that he still stole it with frames and paintings!

Zhou Gongzi's place of residence is different from Dong Ce's here, he has a lot of guards and maids there, and there are eyeliner everywhere.

It can be seen that the three thieves of the Chang family are indeed very useful, and only the father and daughter are the two who act, so Dong Ce is now thinking of subduing them, and using them in the future will save a lot of things.

And the identity of the three thieves of the Chang family, Jiuliutang also checked a lot in the first two days, Chang Chenggong took Chang Chong and Chang Chang to Luoyang ten years ago, and he made a living by cheating, and he was a little famous on the road, and the most important thing is that they never missed, which may also be the relationship between Zhou Gongzi and them.

After explaining some things to Zhang Dagui, Dong Ce asked him to take the painting back, and then found a land to sell it, and gave half of the money to the three thieves of the Chang family, and the other half as a reward for the brothers of the Jiuliutang.

Zhang Dagui and Liuzi immediately stuffed the painting back into the carriage, drove the carriage back to a small gathering point of Jiuliutang in Nanshi, and then directly called Chang Chenggong.

"Master Zhang, we've done everything, I don't know when you let us go?" Chang Chenggong's face was a little unsightly, he had already faintly noticed that the other party would not let them leave easily.

Sure enough, when Chang Chenggong finished speaking, he heard Zhang Dagui say: "What's the hurry." ”

Then, Zhang Dagui threw a bag of silver to Chang Chenggong, and said: "There are fifty taels of silver in it, which is considered your reward for stealing the painting this time, our sect leader said, you can go, but you need to do one more thing!" ”

Chang Chenggong was a little dumbfounded holding the heavy silver.

It's not that you can still get silver, after all, life is in the hands of others, and no matter how much silver you have, it is equivalent to someone else's!

"What else? Zhang Ye just commanded! Chang Chenggong knew that he couldn't refuse, otherwise they would probably not live tomorrow!

"It's not difficult, I don't care if you go to the Shangqing Palace, or if you go to the Qingguan Palace, in short, I need to know the letters that come in and out there, and I don't need you to steal them back, as long as you know the content of the letters, come back and report them!"

"Shhh...... Is that simple? Chang Chenggong took a deep breath, very unbelievable.

"Is this easy?" Zhang Dagui frowned, glanced at Chang Chenggong up and down, and said disdainfully: "Are you literate?" ”

"No, Xiaosheng has been a scholar for eight years, and he basically knows it, and I also taught my two children."

"Fuck off." Zhang Dagui couldn't help but learn from Dong Ce and burst into a foul language.

What is this? Don't want to forge ahead? Unmotivated? What else?

Zhang Dagui is annoyed, he used to be illiterate, and now he doesn't know much, and there are few literate brothers in the Jiuliutang, even if the sect leader finds Mr. Ouyang to teach everyone, but after studying for a year, he can't learn a few words, most of them have a headache when they see the words, and they simply don't go, but they force their children to go.

In the past, as a farmer who rented land, he didn't feel any problems if he couldn't read, but since he followed the sect leader, Zhang Dagui really found out how important it was to be able to read and write, so even if he had a headache when he read words, he endured learning, and now he has only mastered one hundred and eighty simple words, but it is far from enough.

Chang Chenggong is good, and he still knows how to be a thief, it's a waste!

Chang Chenggong seemed to see Zhang Dagui's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Ye doesn't know, do you think you can make a living by teaching people to read and write?" ”

Zhang Dagui was stunned for a moment and said, "Hearing you say this, you have a reason to be a thief!" ”

Chang Cheng looked up and sighed, and then told Zhang Dagui about what happened to him.

Zhang Dagui never thought that Chang Chenggong was so pitiful!

Because there is no imperial examination, ordinary people don't need to learn words at all, so they are naturally reluctant to spend money, but it is impossible for Chang Chenggong to mix in Confucianism with that little knowledge, and there is no land at home, so he rents it.

In the end, I took most of my belongings to do business, but I was cheated, and after being deceived, I found that the liar was a good business, and the money was fast, so I did it, and as a result, I was beaten!

The so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, and after being injured, I went home and prepared to take out the only remaining belongings to buy some medicine, but I found that it was stolen!

So, Chang Chenggong put his main business on theft and took deception as a side business!

This is ten years, not only made a fortune by stealing, but also married and gave birth to a baby, but the good life did not take long, after a mistake, he was wanted!

What's even worse is that when he ran away with his wife and children, halfway through, his wife was gone, and the money was gone!

"Alas!" Zhang Dagui didn't know when, he got the jar of wine, poured a sip, handed it to Chang Chenggong, shook his head and said: "Also, what do you say, if your mother-in-law doesn't run, will she die with you?" If it was me, I was still young and a little beautiful, and I remarried early! ”

Chang Chenggong took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, seemed to be unwilling to let go of his resentment, and said angrily: "But she can't take all the money away, what about the child?" ”

"How can she remarry with a child? If she has no money, how can she dredge the people of the yamen to change her nationality, in the words of our sect leader, it is a poor person, it must be, it must be, what must be it? ”

On the side, Lin Chao looked at these two guys who drank for some reason, and said with a wry smile: "There must be something hateful." ”

"That's right! Right, right! That's the word...... Belch! Zhang Dagui burped, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Look, what our sect leader said is right, this is a learned person, if you had changed your career early, I am afraid that your grandson will be embraced, but it is not too late to join our Yanjiao, although you can't be an official, you can walk on the street openly, if you do a good job, you can still be admired!"
