Leng Yi moved his luggage to the next door, closed the door, opened the lockbox, took out the night vision device of the sniper rifle, walked to the back window, gently opened the window a gap, and used the night vision device to observe the situation in the backyard.

Originally, the backyard was arranged to be guarded there by the plainclothes of Yinling County. After the tax was stolen, there was no need for the soaps to stay in the back anymore, and they all went back to the shop to rest. It's late at night again, so the backyard is quiet.

However, in Leng Yi's night vision device, there were still two sneaky figures, hidden in the corner of the house not far away, probing their heads to look at him.

It was clear that those two men were spying on themselves. Leng Yi knew that it was easy to expose his stuffing when he went out directly from the backyard, so he pondered for a moment and thought of an idea. Put the night vision device back in the lockbox and lock it. When they came, Zhuo Qiaoniang had already wrapped the box with a big blue cloth, and it was still wrapped in blue cloth and placed by the door. Then he put the chest of gold on the round table, and sat down at the round table.

Wu Zhutou came in a hurry, with a panicked expression.

Leng Yi looked at him and said, "You are an old man, and you have a question to ask." ”

"Don't dare, the eldest lord has something to say."

"Have you ever heard of a gang called the 'Lady Gang'?"

"Oh, I've heard that it's very famous in Bazhou, it's **, the members are all single women, they specialize in kidnapping children and women, tearing up tickets without giving money, and acting more viciously than men. ――Why did the eldest master suddenly ask them? ”

"I heard the prefect say that there is a gang of women in Bazhou, who specializes in kidnapping tickets and committing a lot of big crimes, so I asked, worried that they would make trouble in our Yin Tomb."

Leng Yi said while saying that he secretly thought in his heart, according to what Wu Zhutou said, this female gang kidnapped Zhuo Qiaoniang, it should be for money, but the note they left was obviously not for money, but pointed out that they wanted that thing, what is this thing, even the gangsters stretched out their hands.

Leng Yi didn't speak, just smiled and opened the small box on the round table.

Wu Zhutou only glanced at it, and his eyes immediately turned into copper bells: "Gold!" Tax?! ”

Leng Yi nodded slowly.

"Didn't the tax money be stolen by thieves?"

"When I was asleep in the house before, a thief came, but he pounced, because I was worried that the tax would be stolen, so I had already transferred the tax beforehand. The thieves left empty-handed. I know that the best way to protect something is to make people think you don't have it. I came up with a way to pretend that the things had been stolen by thieves and report the crime to the government. That way, the taxes are safe. ”

Wu Zhutou slapped his head and said, "I see, it's ......, but it's not right!" When the subordinates, the master, and the little beggar saw the box of gold in the eldest master's room, the roof was intact! This shows that the tax should have been stolen after the eldest master left the room, why did the thieves break through the roof before this? If that's the case, it's impossible for the three of us not to know! ”

Leng Yi smiled and pointed to the room: "If you look at my room now, is there any difference?" ”

Wu Zhutou looked around: "Nothing......" suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked up, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Oops! Why is this roof so good again? What's going on? What about the holes? ”

Leng Yi said: "That's next door, I've moved to this room, there are more than 20 rooms in this row, the outside looks like the same doors and windows, the door numbers are all auspicious words such as 'auspicious, wealthy', and the furnishings in the room are the same, I only need to change the door number on it, and the two rooms can be reversed." - I found out that the thief broke the roof into my house, and after trying to steal, I deliberately broke away Master Dong and Mrs., and then called the three of you in Master Dong's room, of course, the roof of that room is good, and when you see the gold, let you go down to arrange the time for defense, I will immediately change to the room with a hole in the roof, and lock the door, so you are guarding the room that has entered the thief's room. Not the room where I showed you the gold. ”

Wu Zhutou suddenly realized, smiled and high-fived and exclaimed: "I see! Sure enough, what a plan! The beggar must have been called by the old man on purpose, he was an irrelevant person, and his testimony was more convincing. Sure enough, I deceived the prefect's head catcher! At this moment, everyone thought that the huge amount of tax money had been stolen by someone. Hehe, the old man pretended to be really similar before, and he couldn't tell that he was acting at all. ”

Leng Yi didn't smile and asked, "Then you know, I called you up now to tell you the truth about this matter, what is the reason?" ”

Wu Zhutou quickly restrained his smile and shook his head.

Leng Yi said: "I went to the prefect today, because the prefect's office was not in charge of the house, I asked for leave, so I couldn't pay the account, and we will go again tomorrow morning, so tonight is the key, and we must ensure the absolute safety of this tax tonight!" to ensure that it can be handed in smoothly tomorrow. ――Let me ask you, are you living alone in the backyard? ”

"Yes! I live in a separate room next to the Chase Shop. ”

"That's good, this gold can't be moved, so as not to be seen through, so I came up with an idea: you have martial arts, and it is more suitable for you to protect this gold than me. You and I are in tune. You pretend to be me, and you guard this chest of gold in this house, and I pretend to be you, and go and sleep below. -- My lady just met a relative, lives at a relative's house, and won't come back tonight. ”

"Oh," Wu Zhutou nodded, "That's a good idea." However, the sleeping place below is not as good as the upper room. Didn't you wronged the big man? ”

"All for the safety of the taxes!" Leng Yi looked at Wu Zhutou and said: "Now, only the two of us in this world know that the gold is here, if it is lost again, I will know that it is you who are making a ghost!" ”

Wu Zhutou knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists, and said: "Thank you for the trust of the eldest lord to his subordinates, the subordinates are willing to guarantee with their heads, and they will never make mistakes again, this time, if you want to steal taxes, you will first take my life!" ”

"Good! Hurry up and change your clothes! ”

Wu Zhutou had changed into civilian clothes for the convenience of guards. At that moment, the two hurriedly changed their clothes. The boots were also changed, and Leng Yi had already taken out the dagger in the boots and put it in his arms.

After changing his clothes, Leng Yi wrapped his neck and mouth and nose with a cloth belt, and in this kind of snowstorm, seven or eight of the ten men in this inn were dressed like this. So unobtrusive in the slightest.

The two changed their clothes, and Leng Yi said in a loud voice: "Okay, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early!" ”

Wu Zhutou understood, and also said loudly: "Subordinates say goodbye!" ”

After that, Leng Yi, who was wearing a coarse cloth jacket and casual clothes with a head catcher, carried the blue cloth bag by the door, walked out of the door, bowed his hand, covered his face with a cloth towel, lowered his head, walked briskly through the long corridor of the upper room, went down the stairs, and turned into the backyard.

It was late at night, and the hall was almost empty, and the men were listlessly tidying up, and no one looked at him.

Leng Yi arrived in the backyard, and the corners of his eyes swept around, and there was no eye-catching person. When he entered the house, he fastened the door, went to the back window, and opened it gently, and a few steps behind him was the wall of the inn. It was the opposite of where he had seen the two people watching him, on the opposite side. However, he still cautiously took out his night vision device and observed the situation behind it. There was not a single figure. Put away the night vision goggles, put the lockbox wrapped in blue cloth on your back, climb out of the window, close the doors and windows, grab the wall, and quickly climb over the wall.

He crouched in the corner of the wall, and after using his night vision device to observe that no one was found, he carefully moved forward along the root of the wall and left the inn.

Turning a few alleys, he kept an eye on his back, and found no one following. Only then did he return to normal, quicken his pace, and walk briskly towards Dongcheng.

The city gate was not closed, and on such a cold day, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate had already shrunk into the house. He made his way out of the city and walked along the official road. The place is called the Land Temple of Qilipo, which should be a place seven miles away.
