Chapter 7 The Beggar Hong Qi Enters My Net
"You mean, all the reserves of my Jiawang Mansion for a year have been stolen?"
Gu Cheng looked down at the trembling chamberlain, his tone was cold, and the thunder was angry.
The Song people are very particular about diet, rich and noble, where the food is precious, the new food, the strange vegetables, the quality is not lacking, and the palace is no exception.
But as mentioned earlier, the royal family is an example, and it is impossible to delicate the mountains and seas every day, so precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and snow lotus are equipped with a quota every month.
Looking at Zhao Kuo's memory, Gu Cheng knew that this guy was a guy who would not enjoy, and the precious ingredients were accumulated, and he was about to feast on it, but he didn't expect to be robbed?
You must know that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the palace is heavy, and the guards are extremely strict, what kind of thief eats the bear's heart and the leopard dares to come here to steal, and has the ability to get it unknowingly?
Gu Cheng originally wanted to find the prefect of Lin'an and arrest him according to the law, but his mind changed, more things are better than less, and he called the old eunuch: "You take my hand into the East Palace, and ask the queen mother for this month's ingredients." ”
"Yes!" The old eunuch was ordered to retreat, Gu Cheng's eyes were like electricity, and he coldly glanced at the subordinates who knelt on the ground: "I am not to blame for the past, if you commit it again, be careful of your heads!"
As if they had been pardoned, the crowd shouted: "Your Highness is benevolent!"
......
Ten days later, however, they were on their knees in the same place.
Now he is really like ashes, and he is completely desperate.
"Okay, I thought nothing had happened, but you, a thief, thought I was a bully in the Jiawang Mansion, right?"
Gu Cheng didn't pay attention to these subordinates, his previous fierce voice was to prevent someone from filling his pockets, but he didn't know that during this time, it had already been rumored in the palace that this master suddenly became very smart, and there were rewards and punishments, it was like being reborn, where did he dare to deceive?
Gu Cheng was angry that not only were the ingredients lost again, but even the boiled eight treasure soup was secretly drunk, which was simply lawless!
What's even more exaggerated is still to come, the prefect reported, and the experienced catcher was quickly transferred, and all kinds of investigations were made, but who knew that seven days later, the eight treasure soup was stolen again.
This is simply a slap in the face of the court, the prefect of Lin'an was furious, and sent additional people to guard the palace, but the theft was still going on.
Finally, a few days later, Gu Cheng went to the dining room under the protection of the layers, looked at the trembling cooks, and waved his hand: "You guys retreat!"
Everyone tiptoed out, and Gu Cheng looked at the dining room and began to look carefully.
The Eight Treasure Soup is related to his martial arts cultivation, and it is absolutely not allowed to stop, and this theft is getting bigger and bigger, and if there are officials who participate in his book and covet food and pleasure, it will not be good.
So since it is not a matter of catching fast, Gu Cheng can only go out in person and do Conan once.
Unfortunately, it turned out that the layman could not create miracles, and there were no clues to be found in the dining room, everything was clean, and there were no clues left at all.
"It won't really be a light skill master, come in and drink the soup and run, which martial arts master is so boring?"
Gu Cheng felt very bad, walked around the dining room, suddenly his nose twitched, and he smelled a faint smell.
Because the ingredients in the palace are so good, not to mention the hygiene, the smell is covered by the aroma, and it is very inconspicuous.
If it weren't for Gu Cheng taking the Eight Treasure Soup for the past month, refining the essence qi, supplemented by mana to cultivate the sound and smell in the five senses, the sense of hearing and smell would have soared, and he would never have noticed it.
"Is this smell coming in from here......?"
He followed the smell to the wall, looked up at the skylight, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved.
The previous blindness was obtained, and with this reminder, a person suddenly jumped into his mind.
Since there are Huangshang and Jiuyin True Scripture, how can there not be him?
With a plan in his heart, Gu Cheng walked out of the dining room, pointed to the waiter who fell at the end and said, "Hang it up and expose it to the sun for three days!"
The waiter has been in a panic all these days, and he has lost a lot of weight, but after listening to what Gu Cheng said, he breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up and calmly restrained: "The old slave is ineffective and should be punished!"
"The thief is clever, and I don't blame you, but since you are in charge of the palace, you have the responsibility to go and get the family law!"
Gu Cheng spoke slowly, obviously saying that it was a punishment, but none of the subordinates and guards around him were dissatisfied.
This world is like this, Gu Cheng has not been punished before, but those slaves and maids are frightened in their hearts, for fear that their masters will settle accounts after the autumn and affect their families, but now they are finally relieved.
But the strange thing is that Gu Cheng whispered a few words to the guard, and then erected a pole outside the dining room, and hoisted the waiter high, standing upright, looking very miserable.
He looked around and turned away.
That night, Gu Cheng was reading a book in the room, and someone outside said: "Your Highness, the thief has really entered the net!"
"Okay!" Gu Cheng walked unhurriedly to the backyard, and the distance was still hundreds of meters, when he heard the sound of fierce exchanges and arrows whizzing in the distance.
When I got closer, I saw the torches erected root by root, like a fire dragon soaring into the sky, and nearly a hundred guards in the middle quickly surrounded one person.
Bang! Bang!
Surrounded like this, the man still rushed left and right, and in his arm he was still holding the attendant who had been rescued from the pillar, and his square face was full of fortitude.
"It's always called Hanako, oh no, it should be called Hanako!"
Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile as he looked at the patches on the thief's body, the standard beggar clothes.
Hong Qigong, Hong Qigong, you are old and secretly eat mandarin duck five treasures in the palace, and now you are young and actually steal eight treasure soup in my palace, others live to learn from old age, you are old to live and eat until you are old!
Of course, this man is not a public character now, he has thick black eyebrows, wide hands and feet, and is leaping among the guards.
"What a dragon descending eighteen palms!"
Seeing the beggar's pair of fleshy palms unfolded, every move and style is powerful and heavy, majestic and magnificent, it seems to be simple and simple, not complicated, but if the galaxy hangs upside down, it is impossible to resist, and now Gu Cheng, who has first glimpsed the essence of the upper level of martial arts, is also amazed in his heart.
Of course, Gu Cheng didn't say anything on the surface, but his face sank like water.
When the guards saw that their master had appeared, their spirits were immediately lifted.
Although they are the elite of Lin'an Mansion, in terms of personal strength, they can't even compare to the five bags of disciples in the beggar gang, but once they form a formation, they occupy a wide terrain, and there are bows and arrows to suppress them, and the wheel advantage formed is also very terrifying.
It doesn't matter if one person can't block the power of the dragon's eighteen palms, even if he vomits blood and retreats, he will soon be able to replenish it, and there is a steady stream of elite soldiers coming outside, and there are arrows like rain, and the threat is huge.
Hong Qi broke through several times, but he couldn't succeed, and coupled with the drag in his hands, he actually became precarious.
Gu Cheng looked at it for a moment, his eyes fell on Hong Qi's face, and he suddenly said, "Stop!"
Swish!
The elite soldiers were forbidden, and they dispersed at once, opened their bows and arrows, surrounded Hong Qi, and stared at them.
Hong Qi stood proudly on the spot, and he was also not afraid: "If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to scrape, you will scrape, and Hugh will say more!"
Gu Cheng said lightly: "Have you suffered internal injuries?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the audience.
This beggar is so badly injured, if you really want to pay it back in its heyday?
Hong Qi's chest rose and fell violently, and he stared at Gu Cheng deeply: "Your Excellency has a good eye, I don't know which disciple made the court eagle dog?"
"Haha!" Gu Cheng laughed loudly, the guards couldn't hear it, but Hong Qi changed color, only to feel that an invisible ripple was coming towards him, and he was drowsy in a trance.
However, his willpower was so strong that he quickly resisted the effect of the Soul Shifting Dafa, but that high-spirited momentum couldn't help but weaken.
At this time, Gu Chengfang spoke: "I am the master of this Jiawang Mansion, and the eight treasure soup you stole is also deployed by me, ready to honor my father and queen mother in the future, and recuperate my body!"
As soon as these words came out, with Hong Qi's face, he couldn't hold it anymore.
Not to mention the bitter master, it can be seen at a glance that his internal injuries have not healed, and his eyes are full of divine light, it is actually Zhao Kuo, the king of Jia, the only son of the current saint, and the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?
Gu Cheng stood with his hands in his hands, and the momentum under his control spontaneously emerged: "Three days later, I was going to plow the court and sweep the caves and sweep all the large and small thieves' dens in the city, but you came here tonight to save people, it can be seen that you still know the truth that one person does things and one person is responsible!"
Hong Qi's face softened, put the waiter on the ground, and looked at the spot: "Tell Hanako to offend the nobles, of course there must be a settlement, come on, fight again!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Cheng frowned: "Who told you that he won't have to be punished?"
