Sure enough, there were people everywhere in the mountains, and several nearby villages came, so not everyone knew Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan, and some people shouted at them: "You can't dig here, go somewhere else." ”

Xiaowan whispered to Xianggong: "They must be afraid that we will rob it." ”

Ling Chaofeng motioned for her not to make a sound, they walked around the mountains, and went to some places in Baisha Town, where there were more people than near the inn.

There, as Mrs. Chen said, some people dug up their own things and sold them to others on the spot, and there were really people rushing to buy them.

As they came, a couple of men came running back from their house, carrying a large bag of money, and saying that a copper kettle he had bought from here in the morning had been sold for thirty taels of silver from an antique dealer.

Xiaowan watched a group of villagers shout higher and higher prices, and a dirty vase from nowhere was sold for ten taels of silver.

At this moment, two younger ones, who came out of the mountains, dug up a sack of things like a trick, and everyone gathered around them and asked them where they had dug it, but the two of them just didn't say anything, and said, "If you want it, I will sell it to you cheaply, but if it is worthless to buy it back, we don't care." ”

Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan were gradually pushed away by the crowd, and there was a lot of bargaining and price raising, and in less than half an hour, a sack of things was all gone.

And from their words, we know that the antique dealer received the goods in the morning, and went back for the time being, saying that he had not brought enough silver, and that he would bring back a batch of things first, and that he would bring enough silver the morning after tomorrow. Not only did they say that there were more treasures here than they imagined, but they also warned the villagers not to spread the news again, otherwise more and more people would come to dig up the treasures, and they would not be able to make money.

Xiaowan listened to the heart of the suspense, but the villagers were enthusiastic, this day until sunset, there were people holding lanterns and torches around the mountain, the next morning, the crowd came again.

But there are always people who dig it, and when they dig it, there are a lot of them, and other people, such as Aunt Xu's Wang, have been walking around the mountain for a few days, and they haven't even picked up a decent brick.

The day after tomorrow, there were a lot fewer people on the road, and gradually returned to the calm of the past, Xiaowan and Su Su were drying quilts in front of the door, she said: "I heard them say that day, the antique dealer is going to come to receive the goods this morning, and they are waiting to sell it." ”

Su Su sighed: "How can there be such an easy way to make money, I and Daqing don't believe it." ”

Xiaowan smiled: "You and Daqing, why don't you talk to me." ”

Su Su came up and pinched her waist: "You will only bully me." ”

Xiaowan said happily: "I can wait to marry you beautifully, and then marry Miss Meng's beautiful scenery, then it will be complete." ”

Su Su was shy and timid, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not in a hurry now, it's fine now." ”

After they finished drying the quilt, they saw Daqing pulling a cart from the dock, and a merchant asked him to deliver the goods, because there were guests sitting on the car, so he didn't say hello, Xiaowan said that he would come back just for lunch, and he wanted to call Daqing in for a bite to eat before leaving.

It's easy to get to noon, Daqing really came back with an empty car, they greeted the roadside, Daqing got out of the car and said: "It's amazing, the town is full of people, I heard them say, those antique dealers said that they came today, but there was no one." ”

Xiaowan remembered that Xianggong told her that day that the antique dealer would definitely not appear the day after tomorrow, so she immediately ran back to find Ling Chaofeng and told him excitedly: "Xianggong, those two antique dealers really didn't come." ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "It will never come, this is still the appearance, I don't know if there will be more things in a few days." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiaowan asked.

"In the past few days, every household has come to dig the mountain, and the village is empty, what do you say?" Ling Chaofeng sighed lightly, "When they come back to their senses, they don't know that the gold and silver hidden at home are still there." ”

Xiao Wan was terrified when she heard this, she was quite smart, and asked, "Then why not one or two people, isn't it a large group of liars and thieves?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "Those few who are coaxing, raising prices, and bragging at the bottom of the mountain are all in a gang. ”

Xiaowan asked: "Since you can see it, why ......?"

Ling Chaofeng raised his eyes to look at her faintly: "We are an inn, not a yamen, you have done the things of the county master, the county master will not thank you, but will only think you are troublesome." ”

Xiaowan sighed heavily: "Pity those ordinary people, it's okay to be cheated of money, if the money hidden in the family is broken into the empty door, the savings of a lifetime will be gone." ”

"Therefore, the human heart is not greedy." Ling Chaofeng smiled, "Wanwan, you are not greedy, I am relieved." ”

Xiaowan muttered: "I have you, I really don't dare to think about anything else, with you, I'm afraid that God will suddenly feel that it is too full for me, and I will take it back." ”

Ling Chaofeng said angrily: "How can it be, I will guard you all my life." ”

This incident, after another night, became unmissable, and the antique dealer disappeared without a trace. Some villagers found that the young people who were particularly good at digging and later sold directly at the bottom of the mountain were neither from your village nor from our village, but strangers from nowhere, and they also disappeared.

It was only then that some people gradually woke up and were deceived.

What's more serious is that some families began to find that the family had less money, and the villagers who gathered at the entrance of the town to wait for the antique dealers rushed home.

In Qingling Village, Xu's cry shook the sky, and everyone gathered around, only to see her sitting in front of the door holding the empty jar and crying, and the silver she hid under the stove was all gone.

Wen Bao and Wen Juan shrank in the corner, and when the head of Tianwen Bao was looking after the house, he ran out to play, and later the two sisters and brothers watched the house together and also ran out to play, they didn't know anything. Xu hated so much that he wanted to strangle a pair of children, but even if he strangled them now, the money would not come back.

"Go and report to the official, the Li family at the head of the village also stole it, and it was happy a few days ago, but now there is nothing." The villagers gossiped and said to each other, afraid that they had stolen Xiaowan's one hundred taels of dowry.

In front of the yamen of Baisha Town, there have never been so many people, all the villages under the rule of Baisha County, of course, if something happens, they have to come to the parents and officials.

The county magistrate wandered back and forth in the lobby, and the people who went down to inquire came back and said that there was no trace of the gang of swindlers at all, and they didn't know where they came from or where they went, and the villagers knew those swindlers, so they couldn't just catch a few of them.

"What should I do, how could such a big thing happen, my lord, I'm really unlucky."

The county master was so anxious that he woke up a few days ago, he felt that it was no big deal, who knew that as soon as he woke up, the sky would change. If this is stabbed to the top and investigated for his dereliction of duty, the official who finally donated it will not be counted, and he may have to go to prison.

"Sir, sir." Seeing his subordinates hurrying over, he frowned and said, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"Boss Yue of Siyun Pavilion, said that her injury is healed, please go to the store and sit down." The servant replied.

This is not the time to look for flowers and ask Liu Tang-Mian Gentle Township, the county magistrate said angrily: "You see how can I be in the mood to see her now, master?" ”

The master said on the side: "My lord, now that the outside is tightly blocked, it is not good for those people to break in, so it is better for you to go elsewhere to avoid it first." ”

He grabbed his master's collar and asked, "Can this matter be solved?" ”

The master said helplessly: "Unless the thief is caught." ”

Compared with the boiling sky outside the yamen, the Siyun Pavilion at this moment is deserted. Most of the guys in the store left, only a few homeless ones remained, and they remained with her, Yue Huaiyin didn't treat those who left, and gave a lot of money to the guys, just hoping that they would go elsewhere and not mention the matter here.

"Huaiyin." The county magistrate came secretly, and touched her hand as soon as they met, "The injuries on your body are all healed?" ”

"Thank you for your care, the slave's injuries are healed, and the medicine sent by the master is the most effective." Yue Huaiyin blessed him, she used to be a person who would never be in her eyes, but now she is the person who can let her gain a foothold in this Baisha Town, this county master is a fool and a big pervert.

"Tell the master to take a look, I'm not at ease." As the county master spoke, he reached out and touched her buttocks, Yue Huaiyin blocked it, and said, "Master, I heard the maid say that the town has not been peaceful these days, can the slave family share your worries?" ”

The county magistrate sighed, pulled her to sit down, Yue Huaiyin filled him with cigarettes, and said: "This kind of scam has also happened in other places, and the most hateful people have come and gone without a trace, and they have happened a few times before, but no one has been caught." ”

"If I had listened to my master's words earlier, I wouldn't have ......" The county magistrate regretted and squinted at Yue Huaiyin, "Master, if something happens to me, I won't be able to protect you in the future, Huaiyin." ”

Once upon a time, that person called her Huaiyin one after another, and all the voices went to her heart, she gave everything she had to that person, but he abandoned herself. But Yue Huaiyin didn't blame him, because he knew from the beginning that he couldn't help himself. At least for those fifteen years, Jianzhang loved her.

But she hated, hated another person, and trampled on her feelings alive.

"The slave family heard that the shopkeeper of Lingxiao Inn is quite prestigious in the rivers and lakes, and his friends are all over the world. If you think about it, those people must be hiding from officials, and if you go to arrest people openly, you will definitely not be able to catch them. If they do not flee far away when they see the officials, they must go to the people of the road to see the above. ”

Yue Huaiyin brought the tea to the county master, and said gently: "Master, why don't you send a message to Ling Chaofeng and let him think of finding it, he is also a merchant in this Baisha Town, and he is favored by the yamen, and at the critical moment, he naturally knows how to repay the favor." ”

The county magistrate frowned: "Is it done?" ”

Yue Huaiyin said: "You go to the yamen and tell the people that you will catch the thief back within three days, and similarly, give Ling Chaofeng a limit of three days, no matter how you want him to give an explanation, otherwise those people are hiding the treasure in the mountain on the other side of the inn, maybe they are in a group?" ”

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "I heard the prefect's meaning, I can't touch the Lingxiao Inn." ”

Yue Huaiyin said: "You can't touch it, but the people who lost their money have already turned red-eyed." ”

The county master's hand touched down Yue Huaiyin's sleeve, his skin was silky and warm like jade, and he laughed: "Just do this first, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor." ”

In this way, the inn was fine, and in the afternoon, a group of catchers suddenly came, asking Ling Chaofeng to go to the yamen, and they said very publicly: "Those things that the liars buried near the inn, you naturally can't get rid of it." ”
