Chapter 258: Taste

Yang Zheng and Hu Xian went to the rich family.

Although the rich family lives in a ravine, the house is really magnificent, and the large courtyard of Sanjin is enough for dozens of people to live. The population of the rich family is not large, and there are only a few masters who remain in the courtyard, and the rest are some family members, servants, and nurses.

Because Hu Xian had already investigated before, this time they were familiar with the road and soon came to the courtyard of Fu Changhe.

In the dead of night, the whole rich house was pitch black, only the two lanterns hanging at the gate, exuding a faint halo.

Yang Zheng leaned on the roof and whispered to Hu Xian, "Are you sure the secret passage is here?" ”

Hu Xian tore off the black cloth covering his face and said, "You still don't know my skills?" I'm here smelling it! He stretched out two fingers to make a walking motion, and gave Yang Zheng a look.

Yang Zheng said: "Okay, then let's go down and explore?" ”

Hu Xian put the black cloth back on and said, "Let's go." ”

The two men flew down and landed lightly in the courtyard, barely making any sound.

The defense of the rich family is not very strict, the people in the village are very simple, and those who steal petty do not dare to come to the rich house to steal, so the rich family only has a few house slaves who keep vigil, and there is no patrol.

Hu Xian came here once, and knew that none of the rich families practiced martial arts, and the nursing homes at home only had some strength, and they were all fakes.

The two of them did not alarm anyone, and soon came to the backyard of the rich family.

The ancestral hall of the rich family is located here, and the spiritual seats of the ancestors of the rich family are placed in it. The house is not big, it is clean, and you can smell the faint scent of sandalwood.

Hu Xian took out a slender iron nail from his arms, opened the lock in three or two clicks, and the two of them entered the house lightly, closed the door, and soon came to the secret door that Hu Xian said.

In an inconspicuous corner, somewhere in the hollow of the wall, Hu Xian found the mechanism, and with a slight twist, the secret door appeared.

The two men looked at each other and walked in vigilantly. Hu Xian took out a fire fold from his arms and lit it carefully.

At the end of the secret door, there was a small dark room, in which several large boxes were placed, and there were some small bits and pieces.

Yang Zheng opened one of the boxes and found that there were some gold, silver and jewelry inside, and they were all good things.

Hu Xian stepped forward to take a look, his eyes widened at the moment, and whispered: "Good girl, jewelry, this rich family's background is too thick, right?" He opened the other boxes one by one, and sure enough, they contained some valuable things, most of them were gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and everything was worth a lot of money.

Yang Zheng was thoughtful.

Hu Xian picked up a brocade box and opened it, but there were a pair of cups inside.

The cup was no more than three inches high, made of jade-like material, smooth and flawless, and emitted a faint luminescence, especially noticeable in the dark room.

"Glow-in-the-dark cup? That's a great thing, and it's worth a fortune! ”

Yang Zheng took it over and took a look, it was really a luminous cup, he looked at the box, and deliberately looked at the bottom of the luminous cup, and suddenly had a plan in his heart, "Brother, put the cup back, let's go." ”

"Huh? What does it mean? Hu Xian only said: "Do you have an idea in your heart?" No, brother, let's just leave quietly, this, this is not your style! ”

"What do you say! Let's leave first, on the way. ”

Seeing that he said solemnly, Hu Xian nodded immediately, and the two brothers started to cover the box and left the dark room.

The two men left the ancestral hall, locked the door, and left the rich family without alarming anyone.

The two of them rode horses and galloped on a dirt road in the countryside.

Hu Xian endured it for a long time, but he still couldn't hold back, he tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and asked Yang Zheng: "Brother, what's going on?" ”

Yang Zheng also stopped, touched the horse's neck, comforted his horse, and said: "If I guessed correctly, the pair of cups we took should be the tribute paid by Fanbang at the beginning." ”

"Huh?" Hu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The rich ancestor is a horse thief, so it's not strange to have this kind of ill-gotten gains, it's just a tribute...... Now their family affairs are big. ”

Yang Zheng said: "We told the county magistrate about this pair of cups, and asked the county magistrate to copy the rich family and punish them." In this way, the rich family can also be regarded as retribution, and the crisis on the Du family's side will naturally be resolved.

"This ...... Rich families won't be slaughtered all over the house, right? "That would be iniquity.

Yang Zheng shook his head, "Time has passed, this cup should be a hundred years ago, and it has little impact." At most, the rich family hides tribute privately, and those who don't know it are not to blame, in the end, the big thing will be small, and it will not be so serious. Unless they are fools and say that they know that this is a tribute, otherwise, there will be no big deal. ”

Hu Xian thought for a while, "What was a hundred years ago, could it be that those two cups were the things in the famous 'Jiangtang Robbery' back then?" ”

The Jiangtang robbery occurred about 100 years ago. At that time, it was the birthday of the monarch of Dayong Kingdom, many small countries of Fanbang came to pay tribute to congratulate, but they didn't want to, there was a team, on the way to Jiangtang was robbed, a team of more than 100 people, let people slaughter clean, not a single live mouth left, all the tribute was robbed.

After the rainstorm came suddenly, the scene was also washed clean, and it was difficult to find the traces of this gang of thieves after the rain stopped.

This case has not been solved so far! At the beginning, because of this incident, the two countries almost fought! If it weren't for the fact that the small country was too weak and too weak to compete with the Dayong Kingdom, I was afraid that the war would be ignited.

I don't want them to find a pair of glow-in-the-dark cups in the dark room of the rich family today!

Yang Zheng nodded, "It should be right." ”

For Yang Zheng's eyesight, Hu Xian still believes.

"It's just that these days, the officials are not clean, you said that the county order saw so much gold, silver and jewelry, will it hide its secrets! What if the rich family buys their lives with money, then won't we work for nothing? ”

"Brother, if something really happens to the rich family, they will mess up with themselves, no matter whether they collect money or not, once the rich family is in chaos, our purpose will be answered! Besides, do you know who the county magistrate of Qingyang County is? ”

"Who? Could it be that this person is the upright Qingtian master? ”

Yang Zheng smiled sarcastically, "Lord Gao, Jinshi who has been in Pingzhi for thirteen years, has been in Qingyang County for almost twenty years. He is not a money fan, he is an official fan! ”

Hu Xian suddenly realized, gave Yang Zheng a thumbs up, and said, "Serve the brother!" ”

The two of them raised the whip in their hands in unison, rode their horses and galloped, and ran towards Qingyang County.

Du Yuniang never imagined that when she heard the news of the rich family again, it would be such an incredible content.

"You, what did you say?" Du Yuniang's face was shocked, and she couldn't believe her ears.

The night was dark, and Du's noodle restaurant was already closed.

Qian Shengjin sat opposite Du Yuniang and said with a wry smile: "When I first heard about this, I reacted the same as you, and I couldn't believe my ears. Yu Niang, you heard it right, the rich family was raided, because of the private collection of tribute, and it was the stolen goods that were robbed at the beginning! Therefore, all the family property was confiscated and exiled for 3,000 li. ”

Qian Shengjin told the matter again.

It turned out that the Qingyang County Commander didn't know what was going on, but he actually received a report letter, and wrote to his person, in which he said that the rich family in Shilipo had secretly hidden the tribute from the Jiangtang robbery, which might be related to the horse thief.

Qingyang County Ling Gaosheng is indeed an official fan, but he is also a person with brains. It's been almost a hundred years since the Jiangtang robbery, and it has become an unsolved case, if you can really find those things at the beginning, this is a great achievement! With this credit, he will definitely be able to leave the place of Qingyang County!

Gao Sheng knew that he had died of the bold and starved the cowardly in these years, and if this thing was done, he would get countless benefits, and if it didn't work, he would have nothing to lose.

So Gao Sheng took his men to the rich family......

The rest of the matter is logical.

Sure enough, they searched out the things they had paid tribute to from the dark room of the rich family, and in addition to the pair of luminous cups, they also found a statue of Guanyin of white jade, and several colorful brocade feather blankets, all of which were robbed at the beginning.

It's just that the rich family escaped in the end, as Yang Zheng analyzed, the rich family is not stupid, who will admit that these things are handed down from their ancestors? Wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that you are the offspring of horse thieves? So they bit these to death to collect them to be heirlooms, not knowing that they were tribute.

Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped.

In the end, all the things of the rich family were returned to the imperial court, and the rich family was exiled for 3,000 miles, enslaved for life, and could not come back in this life.

All of this is so surprising and unexpected!

Could it really be that there is reincarnation in the Heavenly Dao?

Du Yuniang sighed softly, "Our problem can be easily solved." ”

"Yes! I didn't expect that either! "Qian Shengjin is happy, although the rich family is not difficult to deal with, but the little ghosts are difficult, maybe they have many tricks to do! Now that something has happened to them, there is no need to worry about it anymore.

"Next, it's time to deal with Du Anxing." Du Yuniang bent the corners of her mouth, God is on her side!

Qian Shengjin said: "I have found all the people for you, and you can do it at any time." ”

Du Yuniang said: "Uncle Qian, don't worry, wait for Du Anxing's leg to be healed!" ”

Qian Shengjin nodded, yes, if his leg is not good, this matter will not be studied.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and you can send someone to find me if you have something."

Du Yuniang hurriedly got up to send off, "Okay, if you're busy, you don't have to come in person." ”

Qian Shengjin even claimed that he was, and left the rich family with people.

The person who followed Qian Shengjin was Uncle Qi. The two of them left North Street by the moonlight, one foot deep and one shallow, and neither of them spoke.

Du Yuniang was in a very good mood, and was about to call Du Ankang to come to the door panel, but saw two people walking in.

Du Yuniang was stunned, she didn't expect them to come so late.

"Is it closed?" Yang Zheng's voice was still so low, and there was usually no expression on his face.

It was Hu Xian, who looked like he was familiar with himself, directly picked a table to sit down, and begged Du Yuniang for favors, "The girl is good, my old Hu is going to be hungry, for the sake of us helping you last time, let's get us something to eat, whatever it is?" ”

In fact, he wanted to say that this time they also helped her.

Du Yuniang smiled and said, "Okay, you sit down, I'll help you get food." ”

She was a little drumming in her heart, and wanted to ask Yang Zheng about the last time, but because of the beard, she was embarrassed.

The noodles are gone, there are still some wontons left, and there are still two meat buns left.

Du Yuniang cooked two large bowls of wontons for them, and brought up the meat buns.

"There's really nothing left, so let's just do it!"

Hu Xian only said: "The wontons are very good!" And the bread? ”

Du Yuniang smiled, turned around and went into the stove again, fished out some marinades for them alone, cut them and mixed them with garlic, spicy oil, a few drops of vinegar, and served them.

"Ouch, girl, you know me too well, I'm meatless! Thank you very much. ”

Yang Zheng didn't say anything, and silently picked up chopsticks to eat.

Du Yuniang went back to the stove to clean up.

Du Ankang was taken aback when he came in, Master Qian is gone, why is there someone coming to eat noodles? Then he recognized it, wasn't this the two who helped them beat the thugs that time?

He had the heart to step forward to say hello, but he was afraid that he would be too abrupt.

Du Yuniang said: "Brother, it's just right, I'm a little tired, you can greet them!" By the way, don't take them money. ”

Du Ankang nodded again and again, "This is natural, you don't need to tell me." ”

Du Yuniang quietly went back to the backyard, and she didn't go back to the front shop until Yang Zheng and Hu Xian left.

Yang Zheng couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he only felt that the food in his mouth was not as delicious as before, Hu Xian

Du Yuniang hurriedly got up to send off, "Okay, if you're busy, you don't have to come in person." ”

Qian Shengjin even claimed that he was, and left the rich family with people.

The person who followed Qian Shengjin was Uncle Qi. The two of them left North Street by the moonlight, one foot deep and one shallow, and neither of them spoke.
