Chapter 201: Heavenly Treasure, Thieves Gather
Just when the middle-aged man was hesitating, Ye Fan smiled again: "I'm not interested in your past, and besides, I'm also here to seek money, as long as it doesn't harm my interests, I naturally won't do anything that harms others and myself."
Ye Fan has already expressed his attitude, as long as you don't do anything to me, I will naturally not betray you.
The two of them glanced at each other, and after all, the middle-aged man sighed.
"My name is Lu Sheng, the owner of this shop, the woman who received me outside is my wife, he is my little brother, Zhang Hao, the two of us hide in the room to sleep during the day, and come out at night to steal the guests' valuables, we only seek money, not hurt people."
Regarding the identities of Lu Sheng and Zhang Hao, Ye Fan has already guessed eight or nine.
"Did you add mystery medicine to the meal we cooked tonight?"
Lu Sheng nodded heavily: "Yes, this is a method that works, drugging the guests' meals, making them fall asleep, and then going to steal."
"Because almost all the guests in Taiping Town come and go, and they will carry a large amount of cash on them, this is the object of our theft."
Lu Sheng did not hide his deeds over the years.
Ye Fan nodded, with a knowing look on his face.
Seeing that Ye Fan was not the slightest surprised, Lu Sheng became puzzled.
"You were drugged in your meal tonight, and everyone else fell asleep, why are you both still awake?" Five
He really couldn't understand why he hadn't been stunned when he saw Ye Fan and them eating with his own eyes?
Seeing Lu Sheng's doubts, Ye Fan smiled slightly.
Then he took a small pill out of his pocket.
"The antidote pill can resist the effects of the mystery medicine, why don't you try it?"
Looking at Lu Sheng with a faint smile, Ye Fan put the pill on the table.
Looking at the faint smile on Ye Fan's face, Lu Sheng sighed.
"I didn't expect to meet a master today, I, Lu Sheng, have been doing business in Taiping Town for more than ten years, and I have never missed, today, I admit it."
He would never have dreamed that the young man in front of him, who seemed to be only in his twenties, would have such scheming.
Seeing Lu Sheng looking at him with a strange gaze, Ye Fan didn't care at all.
"Now, can we tell us about that heavenly treasure?"
He had only heard of Taiping Town, but he had never heard of the Heavenly Treasures, thinking about it, this should be a great deal, otherwise, Lu Sheng and Zhang Hao would not have been talking about it.
"What? You're not here to find treasure?"
Zhang Hao looked at Ye Fan puzzled, his face full of suspicion.
Shen Bao snorted coldly on the side: "If we are here to hunt for treasures, do we need to ask you?"
Looking at Shen Bao's cold expression, Zhang Hao shrunk his neck, not daring to speak.
Lu Sheng sighed.
"It's not a secret, almost everyone in our Taiping Town knows that there are treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hidden here."
Taiping heavenly kingdom?
Ye Fan was stunned, in his previous life, his era was not far away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, at that time, he did hear that Tianjing City was broken, and the Qing army had searched it, but it didn't find much money.
Therefore, they suspect that there is a large treasure in the Heavenly Balance Heaven, which is hidden somewhere.
Later, there were several versions of it, the Treasure of the Winged King, the Treasure of the Heavenly King, and so on.
But Ye Fan knew that those were just random speculations by people, and the real Taiping Heavenly Kingdom treasure should only be one place, and it was unwilling to be from Tianjing.
Tianjing is today's Jiangnan, and the location of Jiangcheng was the generation of Tianwang's activities at the beginning.
In this way, it is very likely that the treasure is buried here.
"I see, is there any evidence for this rumor?"
Looking at Lu Sheng, Ye Fan asked in a deep voice.
"There is a smooth saying, called "two rivers sandwich a river, treasure a basket, mountains and mountains, mouths, thousands of gold and silver", this sentence has been deciphered by people in many versions, but all
It pointed to our Tianping Town, but over the years, countless people have come here to hunt for treasures, but they have never heard of anyone finding one."
Lu Sheng sighed, although he also longed for treasures or something, but after so many years, no one found it, I am afraid that the treasure is just a legend.
But Ye Fan frowned and pondered this sentence carefully.
"Since there are rumors, then the treasure is very likely to be in Taiping Town, but after more than two hundred years, the mountains, rivers, and landforms have changed, so no one can find it for a while, and the air will not come to the wind."
Seeing that Ye Fan was so determined, Lu Sheng didn't say anything, but there was a touch of surprise in the depths of his eyes.
"Since you should answer our questions honestly, I won't embarrass you, but we people, don't do it, the others have nothing to do with me."
Ye Fan said with a smile, and then got up.
"However, if you want to find the treasure, maybe we can cooperate."
Walking to the window and looking at the dark night outside, Ye Fan spoke lightly.
"Can you really find that treasure?"
Lu Sheng frowned and asked in shock.
Ye Fan smiled: "If you are interested, we will cooperate, after all, this Taiping Town, you are more familiar with it than me, if you are not interested, I will not say it."
Regardless of whether the treasure can be found or not, it is also a good thing to be able to pull a land snake like Lu Sheng into his camp.
Lu Sheng pondered, and after a moment, he suddenly raised his head: "Okay, I'll do it with you."
Hearing Lu Sheng's words, Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good, tomorrow morning, let's go out for a walk, I want to familiarize myself with the environment of this Taiping Town first, if there is really a treasure here, there will definitely be corresponding clues."
After a few brief words with Lu Sheng, he watched them leave.
After closing the door, Shen Bao asked with a calm face, "Are these two people credible?"
People like Lu Sheng, if they don't have enough benefits, I'm afraid they won't cooperate easily.
And the person who steals chickens and dogs, Shen Bao has always been reluctant to associate with him.
saw Ye Fan with a faint smile on his face.
"He is greedy for money, it is actually very simple to deal with such a person, as long as he is given enough temptation, he will obediently obey, and people with desires are easier to control than people without desires."
Ye Fan is full of confidence, he is a human being in two lives, and he is much stronger than Shen Bao in terms of people's ability.
Seeing that Ye Fan was so determined, Shen Bao also nodded, and then the two went back to the bed to rest.
There was no accident that night, and the next morning, Lu Sheng found Ye Fan.
After breakfast, ignoring the angry crowd who lost something, Ye Fan and Shen Bao left the hotel with Lu Sheng.
Taiping Town is very large, surrounded by mountains, and the only way out is a passage between the two mountains.
Looking at the towering mountains and rivers around him, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"It is worthy of the magic of nature, it is indeed imposing, if there is really a treasure, it is safe to hide it here."
If it weren't for the treacherous terrain here, I am afraid that it would have developed into a big city long ago.
Lu Sheng nodded on the side: "Taiping Town is not in the mountains, but in the west, there is a turbulent river flowing through it, called the Tianwang River, and many things here are related to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so that legend has intensified."
