"It's a gold-inlaid red jade Ruyi, and the lord has taken it for appraisal, and it's worth at least 30,000 taels of silver." The old man said.

"Thirty thousand taels of silver?" Han Ronghu was stunned.

"In this era, one tael of silver is 3,000 wen, 30,000 taels of silver, which is a lot!" Li Furen said with a smile in his heart.

"That Ruyi is actually worth up to 10,000 taels, and he deliberately said that the price was too high for you to pay attention to." The Golden Crow God King said.

"10,000 taels is not a lot, with my current salary of less than 3,000 yuan a month, 10,000 taels have to let me work for how many years!" Li Furen said with a smile.

"Yes, there are a lot of you now." The Golden Crow God King said.

Li Furen smiled.

"Have you looked for it?" Han Ronghu asked.

With a wry smile on his face, the old man said: "I just had to tear down the house, but I still haven't found it!"

"You register his records, and I'll go find the leader!" The official who brought the old man said.

Han Ronghu waved his hand at him and motioned to go.

"Is it possible that there is a thief, have you checked yourself?" Han Ronghu asked.

"All the rooms of the servants have been searched, but no!" The old man shook his head.

Seeing him frowning, the old man arched his hand and said, "My lord said, as long as you can find treasures, my lord will have a good reward!"

There was no objection, Han Ronghu said: "You sit first, and when we come, we will deal with it for you!"

"Thank you!" The old man said.

Looking at Li Furen and the others, Han Ronghu said: "There will be a lot of this kind of thing in the future, you have to learn more and watch more, do you know?"

The three nodded.

Ten minutes later.

With the arrival of Lu Xing, Han Ronghu greeted him.

And after the old man told the time again, he said, "Lead the way, I'll take a look!"

"Good!" The old man nodded.

"You guys come along!" Lu Xing said to Li Furen three people.

"Yes!" The three of them honestly agreed.

An hour later.

In the high-walled courtyard of a luxurious mansion, Lu Xing took Han Ronghu and two official Li Furen to follow the old man.

Sweeping the courtyard with a row of four-bay mahogany corridors, Lu Xing did not speak.

"Poor master, that house is the master's study!" The old man's finger was in the middle of a mahogany door.

"You two look around for anything different, I'll go in and have a look!" Lu Xing said to the joint official beside Han Ronghu.

"Yes!" The two official errands should be.

Without saying more, Lu Xing strode towards the door of the room.

"Look, sir, even the locking nails have been pried out." The old man said to him.

Picking up the rectangular copper lock hanging obliquely on the door, Lu Xing groaned.

"The locks have been picked, it seems that outsiders have done it!" Han Ronghu whispered to him.

Nodding slightly, Lu Xing let go of the lock and pushed the door into the house.

Slightly.

In the simple room with bookcases and some antique shelves, Lu Xing looked around.

"The treasure is in the box under the bookcase in the corner." The old man pointed to a pear blossom wood bookcase in the corner and said to Lu Xing.

"In addition to Ruyi, there are other things to lose?" Glancing at some of the exquisite porcelain ornaments on the Bogu shelf, Lu Xing asked him.

"No, he seems to have come for this treasure." The old man said.

"A treasure is worth 30,000 silver, in exchange for me, there is no need to waste time taking other things." Han Ronghu said with a smile.

Without speaking, Lu Xing walked to the three-story bookshelf where Ruyi was placed and looked at it.

"I think the height of the wall outside is not low, even if he climbs over the wall to get in, it is impossible to climb over the wall and escape again." Gu Qiang said.

"Makes sense!" Han Ronghu said to him.

"Not necessarily!" Li Furen said with a smile.

Several people couldn't help but look at him.

"You're talking about one person, but if it's a few people, it's not necessarily." Li Furen said with a smile.

Gu Qiang frowned.

"If it's a few people, the others can pull him up with a rope on the wall." Cao Nan was a little shy and said.

"As long as you climb the wall, there will definitely be traces, and you will know when you go out and see it in a while." Han Ronghu said.

"Actually, I have a doubt, how can this thief know exactly that your master has transferred people away?" Li Furen asked the old man beside him who frowned when he heard the words.

"Is the poor master saying that someone has an internal communication?" The old man was slightly stunned and said.

"Even if there are no people who should cooperate with the outside world, these people must have been planning for a long time, otherwise it is impossible to seize this time to do it." Li Furen said with a smile.

"Makes sense!" The old man nodded.

"So, in your opinion, what do you think is the key?" Lu Xing, who had finished checking the bookcase, stepped forward to look at him and asked.

"There must be traces of sneaky people, there are many people around, just ask!" Li Furen said with a smile.

"If it's a local, it's fine, but I'm afraid it's a foreigner, then it's troublesome!" Han Ronghu looked at Li Furen and said to Lu Xing.

Lu Xing nodded.

"It's unlikely that an out-of-towner is likely!" Li Furen smiled and shook his head.

Seeing that everyone looked at him in surprise, Li Furen said: "There are a lot of rich people in Qiantang County, and this place is in the inner region, if outsiders want to steal treasures, how can they not choose the outer area that is convenient for escape and sparse crowds, and take such a stupid risk to come to the inner region?"

"Is it possible that the defense here is weak?" Lu Xing asked.

Smiling, Li Furen said: "With such a high wall here, there are not many in the entire Qiantang County, and the defense here is definitely not weak."

"What the poor master said is that the protection in our house has always been not weak." The old man echoed.

Glancing at Li Furen, Lu Xing said, "Go out and have a look!"

"If the case is solved, it will be a credit to you!" After Lu Xing went out with a few people, Han Ronghu smiled and patted Li Furen on the shoulder.

"It's all a guess." Li Furen said with a smile.

Slightly.

Outside, under the five-meter-high courtyard wall, Lu Xing and a few people stopped to look at the blue brick wall.

"Look there!" Han Ronghu pointed not far away, and a black dot in the middle of the wall signaled Lu Xing to look.

"It looks like a climbing footprint, and sure enough, as the husband said, it is not a person who committed the crime!" After approaching, Han Ronghu looked at the footprints above and frowned.

Seeing that everyone including Lu Xing subconsciously glanced at him, Li Furen smiled and said: "I don't think many people dare to do it if they sneak into a tightly controlled mansion and steal alone."

"There are a lot of people in your house, you can tell your master, and ask him to send someone to inquire about the surrounding households, see if there are any strangers or sneaky people on weekdays, and tell me at the yamen after getting the results." Lu Xing turned his head to the old man and said.

"Good!" The old man nodded.

"There are not many pawn shops that can eat this kind of valuable treasure in one go, and when I go back, you can arrange for some people for me to keep an eye on the famous pawn shops in the county to prevent them from selling things." Lu Xing said to Han Ronghu again.

"Good!" Han Ronghu nodded in agreement.

"They shouldn't be sold in Qiantang County, the risk of exposure is too great." Gu Qiang said.

"Prevention is always right!" Lu Xing glanced at him and said.

Gu Qiang didn't speak.

"Are you going to analyze and find them yourself, or am I going to help you?" The Golden Crow God King said.

"I'm not a detective, rely on me to analyze and solve the case and catch people, you look up to me too much!" Li Furen laughed.

"The one who stole this treasure was the cousin of a subordinate in the rich merchant's mansion, and there were four people in total." The Golden Crow God King said.

Li Furen was surprised.
