It's finally open—

The four of them looked at each other and knew it was time to act.

Lu Hong and Ke Yi are worthy of being officials, although they usually look simple and lively when they are with everyone in the Yazhong, but at this moment, they are really arrogant when they stand up to the people in the public gate.

The two people deliberately went out from the other end of the alley, made a detour, came to the street in front of the door of "Xingyindang", got on the horse, walked not fast or slow, and when they came to the pawnshop, they also made the appearance that they were about to pass in front of the door, but suddenly retreated, and reined in the horses and looked up at the eye-catching plaque on the door of the shop.

This action of the two of them immediately attracted the attention of the two men who were placing the goods in the store, and they hurriedly looked at the strange people who seemed to them, but they saw that the two men whispered something to each other, nodded again, and then jumped off the horse, tied the horses to the tree next to them, and walked into the pawnshop one after the other.

Standing in the center of the store, the two servants glanced around proudly, and then, Lu Hong crossed his waist and said,

"Is there anyone?!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

In fact, the two guys in the store were standing next to them, and when they saw their "no one in sight" posture, although they were very unhappy, but "harmony and wealth" was the way to operate, so they had to greet them with a smile on their faces.

"May I ask the two guest officers, do you want to be or do you want to buy it?"

"We're going to check!"

Before the words fell, the two of them had already taken out the county government waist card and held it up in front of the guy.

This is something that the two guys didn't expect, but it can be seen that they are not ordinary guys in the store, they were not frightened by each other's momentum on the spot, and they glanced at each other, one of them said,

"It turned out to be a bad officer, I don't know what you two want to investigate?"

"A few days ago, someone came to our Yazhong to report that the house had been stolen and that many good ancestral treasures had been stolen. The prefectural commander ordered me to go and visit everywhere to see if I could find the lost items. ”

Lu Hong still said domineering and confidently.

When the guy heard this, he seemed to be slightly relieved, peeked at the other fellow, and saw that he had quietly entered the back hall, and then put his mind at ease,

"That's the case, but our master is an honest businessman and won't hide stolen goods."

"Harboring or not for the time being,"

Ke Yi had already seen the guy who slipped into the room next to him, and thought, It's just for you to report the news, so he couldn't help sneering and said,

"And we didn't say that the stolen thing is in your pawnshop, we came just as a routine, seeing that you are a pawnshop, you can't help but come in and have a look, you should understand this."

"Oh...... Yes, yes, yes,"

The man nodded again and again, and said,

"But, but this, the villain is just a buddy, and this decision still needs to be made by the shopkeeper......"

"Joke, if you shopkeepers don't show their heads, won't we be allowed to perform our official duties?"

Lu Hong's tone was obviously improving, and the atmosphere in front of the hall was inevitably a little awkward.

And at this moment, a middle-aged man about forty years old walked out quickly from behind, walking and arching his hand.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, the young man is ignorant and neglects the two bad officials, I'm really embarrassed. You two, why don't you make tea for the two masters! ”

"You don't have to drink tea,"

Lu Hong waved his hand and said coldly,

"Who are you?"

"The little one is the shopkeeper of this pawnshop, and his surname is Sun."

The man bowed and spoke.

Ke Yi smiled lightly,

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Sun, in fact, we are also in public office, we have to be like this, someone stole it and reported it to the official, as soon as the order of the county magistrate came out, it was not good for us not to come to check, don't you say?"

"yes, yes,"

Shopkeeper Sun had to nod in response, hesitated slightly, and said,

"Okay, the two bad officials can check it out, but don't make too much noise for the two of you, otherwise our business will not be very easy to do, do you say yes, I hope you two can be considerate, and the small one will definitely be offered tea money."

"Well said,"

Lu Hong waved his hand and said,

"We naturally know how to be proportionate, and you have to cooperate more."

"Yes, yes, yes, you two please check."

Shopkeeper Sun didn't dare to offend them, so he had to let the two servants walk around the store and look for them.

In fact, at this time, the two people whose faces were sinking like water were not happy in their hearts, because Lord He was a good and honest official, and he was usually very strict with his subordinates.

And the people in this pawnshop, just as Zong Jiyuan thought, are really thieves from Dongshangouer, and they are all subordinates of Lao San Wei Xingyin. But although they are all robbers who kill people without blinking an eye, anyone who opens a business hopes to make money, so they can't shout and kill people at every turn, so what's the point of doing this business?

From the perspective of this pawnshop, this shopkeeper Sun can be regarded as a person who can take full charge of this shop, and it is precisely because of this that he knows that He Ruichang and Lord He, the magistrates of Liaodong County, are different from other officials, and they can't pawn with silver tickets, so it is also a headache for him. Today, I saw an official messenger come to check the stolen goods, although I still can't figure out what is going on, but after all, I am still very weak-minded.

Lu Hong and Ke Yizheng were proceeding in an orderly manner according to Zong Jiyuan's instructions, seemingly careless, but they were looking for an opportunity in their hearts.

When he spoke just now, Lu Hong had already caught a glimpse of the door leading to the inside, and knew that what the master was talking about must be there, and now the drama outside has been done enough, seeing that it is almost gone, the two of them glanced at each other, nodded, and Ke Yi, who had come to the moon gate, quickly lifted the bead curtain and stepped in.

Sure enough, when the shopkeeper saw that people had found out about the back room, he was taken aback, and he wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was just right in front of him by Lu Hong, and he was chatting like he was chatting.

"Shopkeeper Sun, your shop is really not small."

"yes, yes, but there's ...... there."

Shopkeeper Sun pointed to the door with some anxiety.

Lu Hong also turned his head and looked,

"What's wrong with the inside? Can't you get in? ”

"This、That's the inner house, not the scope of the store......"

Probably couldn't think of any other excuse, so Shopkeeper Sun had to say so.

Before his words fell, Ke Yi's voice came from the inner room,

"Alright, stop talking nonsense! Do you think we can't see the difference between an inner house and a storefront? Brother Hong, guess what I found, little brother? ”

"It must be something good,"

Lu Hong suddenly smiled, turned to look at Shopkeeper Sun, and said,

"Would you be interested in going in and having a look?"
