Chapter 5: Clues (2)
Jiang Zhutou yawned, glanced at him a little tiredly, and said, "Ma Yuan, your ears are quite well-informed." ”
Ma Yuan smiled and said, "Next door to my house is Qianzhuang, the people in the county government made such a big noise last night, can I not know?" After speaking, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that what happened in Qianzhuang is very strange, the treasury is guarded on all sides, and a box of gold ingots was replaced by stones by Jiangyang thieves." ”
Fang Ling's heart thumped, and he immediately stared at the two of them, if this thing usually sounds unsurprising, what kind of rich people and money houses are the targets of the Jiangyang thieves, but in the current situation, the meaning of the word stone is very different.
"If you know, don't talk nonsense, in case you startle the snake and let Jiang Yang's thief run away, but you ask!" Jiang Zhutou's face sank, and he reprimanded in a low voice, then picked up the bun sent by Boss Zhu and left.
Ma Yuan spat at the mouth and muttered in a low voice: "What's the big deal, you can't even catch a Jiangyang thief, you can only make Lao Tzu angry." ”
Fang Ling walked over with a plate and asked with a smile, "This big brother, I heard you mention the Jiangyang thief just now, can you tell me about it?"
Ma Yuan saw the young man's expression of curiosity, and his heart was greatly applied, so he said: "I just fell asleep last night, and suddenly there was an exclamation from Liao Ji Qianzhuang, and after I was woken up, I carried a ladder to the fence, looked towards the Qianzhuang, and found that the capture was about to arrive, and Boss Liao asked the guy to carry a small box to the open space, saying that there was a Jiangyang thief who replaced a box of gold ingots with stones. ”
"Did you see the contents of the box?" Fang Ling asked.
Ma Yuan puffed up his chest and said: "Of course I saw it, it is indeed a stone, but it is a little strange." ”
"Strange?" Fang Ling said in surprise.
Ma Yuan frowned and said: "Because after the box is opened, there are no broken stones inside, and the stones are neatly placed in the box, all in the shape of gold ingots, you say that this Jiangyang thief is really strange, just exchange stones for gold, and make stones look like gold ingots, this is definitely a master among masters." ”
As soon as he heard this, Fang Ling felt that something was strange, even if the Jiangyang thief could use crushed stone in order to show off his strength, why did he have to use a stone like a gold ingot.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Is this box of gold ingots Boss Liao's?"
Ma Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not, it was brought by two young men yesterday, and there were about ten gold ingots in a box, which were exchanged for ten silver tickets of one hundred taels." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but envy, "These two boys don't look like the sons of a rich family, I don't know where to get so much gold, I happened to pass by at the time, and I heard them talk about the red card that they were going to Bao Hongyu Building at night." ”
What is the top card of Hongyulou, Fang Ling knows without asking, he deliberately said: "It's hard to say, there are too many bandits and bandits these days, even if there is gold and jade, they are all hidden, people dress ordinarily, maybe they are afraid that people will remember it." ”
Ma Yuan recalled, shook his head and said: "I don't mean this is not their clothes, but the feeling they give people, these two people are tall and short, they both have a pair of mouse eyes, and they still reveal a bit of evil when they squint, and the tall man still has a scar on his head, if it is not covered by hair, it is estimated that it is a scar." ”
