I slept upside down in bed, my eyes open and looking at the ceiling, my mind constantly reminiscing about the day on the train.

But I couldn't figure out how the woman could have taken the pendant from my neck without me knowing it.

After a while, Zhang Lingchuan was already asleep, but the thief who stole the things still hasn't shown up.

I don't know how long later, I was about to fall asleep in a daze, but I heard a shrill sound of gongs and drums.

Whose family gets married and welcomes the bride in the middle of the night?

I rolled over and went back to sleep.

However, the sound of the beating of gongs and drums came closer and closer, as if it were right in front of our hotel.

Finally woke me up, and I got up in a rage and wanted to go out and curse.

found that Zhang Lingchuan had already woken up, leaning on the bed, holding one leg and shaking up to the rhythm of the drums.

"Boss—"

He turned his head and shhhed at me.

I felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly got out of bed and ran behind him: "What are you doing outside?" How I feel wrong. ”

Zhang Lingchuan showed a sly smile on his face.

"It's called beating gongs and drums to send the true God."

"What? What's that? What true god to send? "Hearing this, I thought that the gang outside was holding some kind of metaphysical ceremony.

Who knows, Zhang Lingchuan explained to me that this is a way to make peace by stealing the door.

Burglars are not the same as ordinary petty thieves.

They have an organization and rules.

If you steal something that you shouldn't steal, you will have the highest etiquette in the rivers and lakes, and send the stolen things back to others with gongs and drums.

I rubbed my ears and couldn't help but worry about the other travelers.

"They beat gongs and drums like this, and others have no opinion?"

Zhang Lingchuan sneered: "This kind of small hotel is not a place to provide accommodation for ordinary tourists. The people who can live here are all insiders, and they are not surprised by this. ”

When I heard this, it dawned on me.

No wonder when we first checked in at the front desk of the hotel, the boss didn't ask for our documents, but asked us a few strange words.

It turns out that this is a trick on whether the other party is an insider.

If Zhang Lingchuan can't match those few black words, the boss will definitely tell us that the rooms here are full.

The gang knocked outside for more than ten minutes, and Zhang Lingchuan was stunned and didn't move.

I asked him, "What if they beat the gongs and drums like this and fail to send the true God out?" ”

Zhang Lingchuan suddenly turned his head and looked at me with a cruel smile: "Then she will die a miserable death." ”

I was so frightened that I fell backwards, and I felt a small shock in my heart.

Although I knew all kinds of rules to abide by in the rivers and lakes, I didn't expect that if this thing couldn't be delivered, I would lose my life.

He looked at me with hatred: "What, you kid is compassionate again?" ”

Not to be outdone: "Obviously you told me, flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young." ”

Zhang Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said to me: "You have a good memory." ”

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums outside the door stopped.

Immediately after, there was a knock on the door.

"There is a flower hanging in the sky in the northwest, and the green forest in the world is one."

"I don't know if the Dragon King Temple is flooded, and I ask the Dharma King to raise his noble hand and spare the life of this thief."

I could hear it, it was the innkeeper's voice.

I can also guess the meaning of seven or eight points in this black word.

Probably that is to say, the eight gates of the rivers and lakes are all one.

The woman had offended us by not knowing Tarzan, and asked us to raise our noble hand and let them go.

Immediately after, the voice of another neutral man.

"Since the King of the Dharma will not forgive you, according to the rules of the door, he will cut off your finger and drive you out of the door."

The woman's sobbing voice came through the door panel: "Sanniang would rather die than keep fingering!" ”

Zhang Lingchuan glanced at me at this time: "Yu million, go and open the door." ”

"Hey." Naturally, I didn't want to lose my life, so I immediately trotted forward and opened the hotel door.

The woman was pushed to her knees with her backhand, and the moment she saw me, her face turned aside in shame.

The middle-aged man hugged his fist at me and signaled: "Senior sister is not sensible, and she is offended." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and held the jade pendant with both hands: "The thing will be returned to its original owner, and please calm the anger of the Dharma King." ”

I took the jade pendant and put it back on my neck, and then walked back behind Zhang Lingchuan.

Behind them was an old man, the owner of the inn.

Seeing that we had handled the matter amicably, he said a few auspicious words and left.

Now that the four of us are left looking at each other, I don't know what the next process will be.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to get up, but bowed to Zhang Lingchuan and reported to his home.

"I am Yan Shifang, the heir of the thief, and this is my junior sister Kong Sanniang."

Zhang Lingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "It turns out that you are the famous male and female thieves on the rivers and lakes." ”

Kong Sanniang leaked a cold snort from her nostrils, seemingly unconvinced.

Her move was glared at fiercely by Yan Shifang.

"Sanniang, don't be rude!"

After Yan Shifang scolded Kong Sanniang, he respectfully hugged his fist at Zhang Lingchuan.

"Your Holiness, now the true God has sent it. These are the things we honor you. ”

After speaking, Yan Shifang put a stack of red banknotes at the door, looking at the thickness, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands.

The rivers and lakes have grievances.

As long as Zhang Lingchuan collects the money, this matter will be over.

In the future, you can't take the opportunity to trouble them.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingchuan, who had been silent, chuckled.

"What you stole is my family heirloom ancient jade, and you want to turn this matter over for tens of thousands of dollars?"

Yan Shifang's face was not good-looking at this time, and he exhaled deeply: "I don't know how you want to solve it, King Fa?" ”

"Wen Dou? Or is it a fight? ”

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head, and then stretched out his hand to point at Kong Sanniang.

"As long as she stays with me for a day, this matter will be turned over."

Before Yan Shifang could say anything, Kong Sanniang stood up and pointed at Zhang Lingchuan angrily.

"You despicable and shameless obscene embryo, if you call the Dharma King, you will really serve yourself as a dish, right?"

"Auntie, I'm not easy to mess with!"

Saying that, Kong Sanniang wanted to do something to us, but as soon as she took out her hand, she suddenly fell to her knees uncontrollably on the ground.

"Smack-" There was a loud noise.

At this time, a strange bruise appeared on her neck.

It's like someone pinched her neck!

A thief who steals something, no matter how fast his hands are, can't fight the Dharma King who can drive away evil spirits and control ghosts.

Zhang Lingchuan glanced at her: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you." ”

"All I fancy is your skills."

"Give me a day tomorrow, and from now on we will not have water from the well."

Hearing this humiliating words, Kong Sanniang's pretty face was red and annoyed, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the end, it was Yan Shifang who made the decision and agreed: "Cheng, early tomorrow morning, Sanniang will listen to your dispatch." ”

"Sanniang, let's go."

After Kong Sanniang got up, she glared at us viciously before turning her head and walking out.

I looked at their backs and asked Zhang Lingchuan with some curiosity: "Boss, what kind of method did you use to make them so obedient." ”

After closing the door, Zhang Lingchuan hooked his hand and asked me to come closer, and he whispered a few words in my ear, which scared me so much that I almost lost my soul.

"Boss, how can you do this?!"
