Chapter Twenty-Six: Entering Zhang's Mansion at Night, Thief Gu Zhen
Early the next morning, Chu Mofeng disguised himself and left the inn, came to the tea stall on the street and found a place to sit down, then ordered a pot of tea, and pricked up his ears to listen to the news.
I only heard a tea guest say: "Have you heard? Gu Zhen'er sent a post to Zhang's Mansion a few days ago, and she wants to go to Zhang's Mansion tonight to pick up a priceless night pearl." I heard that Zhang Xun has been unable to eat and sleep for several days because of this. ”
Another tea guest also said casually: "I know Zhang Xun's Night Pearl, when he got this Night Pearl, he also used some unsavory means, it is said that because this Night Pearl also died a family, in the end, the government still couldn't find evidence and couldn't do it." ”
Another tea guest said angrily: "If you want me to say that people like Zhang Xun who are rich and unkind deserve it, you think about Dacheng's family, not to mention the death of his wife and daughter, Dacheng is still wanted by the government, a few days ago I heard that four people came to the city, and all the reward orders were revealed, and in the next few days, those thieves, horse thieves and those who killed the people that the government couldn't catch were either arrested or had their heads removed, only Dacheng, Gu Zhen'er and Liu Feiyan have not moved so far." ”
At this time, Dr. Tea brought over the tea ordered by Chu Mofeng, looked at everyone and said, "A few guest officers, let's leak some news to you, it is said that the government prison was robbed a few days ago, and I don't know which chivalrous man rescued Liu Feiyan." ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized: "No wonder the reward order has not been returned, I hope that the person who revealed the reward can be sensible and don't send Dacheng and Gu Zhen'er back." ”
Hearing everyone say this, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: Of course he won't send it back, he has already sent two to Zhangye, and he will complete the task tonight. Then he didn't care about the water, picked up the teapot and drank it all, put down the tea money and turned around and left the tea stall.
It was night, at the beginning of the end of the Wuhai Dynasty, Chu Mofeng dressed in black and climbed the wall of the backyard of Zhang's mansion, and then went up to the roof to find a high point to observe, only to see that the front yard of Zhang's mansion was brightly lit, and at this time the backyard was silent, Chu Mofeng thought to himself: You fools, only guard the front yard and not the backyard, if it weren't for Xiao Xia, I know that Zhang Xun old thief put all the valuable things in the backyard warehouse, and it is estimated that Xiao Xia will search for a long time tonight.
Immediately, Chu Mofeng pulled out the yellow spring on his waist, tiptoed off the roof, and walked cautiously towards the warehouse, and when he came to the door of the warehouse, he found that the door was actually hidden, and he was about to open the door and go in, only to hear the conversation of two men inside: "Thanks to the wisdom of the master, let you and I hide here with the night pearl, if that Gu Zhen'er goes to the front yard, he will be ambushed by the master, and it will be a great achievement to capture the thief Gu Zhen'er at that time, do you think our master will reward us two with some money?"
I heard another voice and then sounded: "Don't think about anything else first, you have to catch this Gu Zhen'er first, where did you put the Night Pearl?"
"It's in my arms, rest assured, even if Gu Zhen'er finds here, it will be impossible to search us. The previous voice laughed firmly.
Chu Mofeng couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this, thinking that this is really effortless, Zhang Xun old thief, let you be rich and unkind, Xiaoxia will also learn to rob the rich and help the poor once tonight. Then Chu Mofeng walked to the door and gently pushed the door open, looking inside by the moonlight, only to see a faint figure flickering in the room where the treasures were placed on the left, Chu Mofeng took out a five-baht coin, shook his hand and threw it into the house.
There was silence all around, and the five-baht coin shot at the door and bounced off the shelf, then rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound, only to hear a voice inside shouting with a slight tremble: "Who? ”
Immediately, Chu Mofeng learned a few cat meows, only to hear the slightly trembling voice say: "Scared me to death, it turned out to be a cat, you can stay with peace of mind and let me go and get rid of it, otherwise it will run around the house and break things, and the master will punish us." Then there was a faint sound of footsteps from inside the room.
Chu Mofeng hid outside the door at this time, only to see a thin figure walk out, Chu Mofeng slashed at the back of his neck with a knife, and then hurriedly supported his body that was about to fall, and then tied him up and gagged him aside.
At this time, the people in the house waited for a long time and didn't see their companions come back, so they couldn't help but call softly: "Hey, why haven't you come back after chasing a cat for so long." ”
Chu Mofeng pinched his throat when he heard this, and said, "Come and help me, I can't get up with my foot cramps." ”
When the people in the room heard this, they also got up and walked out, Chu Mofeng saw that he was stunned with another hand knife, and then tied it up and threw it aside, and took out the night pearl in his arms.
At this time, in the front yard of Zhang's house, Zhang Xun led a group of servants to wait for Gu Zhen'er's arrival, at the beginning of the year, the torches and candles in the house were suddenly extinguished instantly, and everyone panicked instantly. Then all the servants hurried to look for the fire fold, and just found the fire fold and was about to light the candle, when everyone suddenly smelled a sweet smell, and then they all fell to the ground unconscious.
At this time, a woman with a face towel jumped down from the beam, wearing a black power suit but could not hide her good figure, I saw this woman walk to Zhang Xun and grope around, then took out a bunch of keys, checked the keys and smiled: "Old thing, are you really a fool for me Gu Zhen'er? Immediately, Gu Zhen'er kicked Zhang Xun a few times, then got up and walked to the backyard.
After Chu Mofeng stunned the two people in the house, he took out the cloth bags that had been prepared a long time ago, and began to pull into the bags one by one, and after a while, he filled six full bags, and then Chu Mofeng picked up three of them with the burning sky, and prepared to leave the warehouse.
At this time, a voice sounded at the door: "There is money in the room on the right, why don't you take some and take it away?" ”
Chu Mofeng didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Don't worry, I'll take these out first and come back." Immediately realizing that something was wrong, the whole person took a step forward and put the bag down, and his right hand clenched the burning sky, and he turned to the person who spoke.
I saw a woman in black standing outside the door, still carrying a bunch of keys in her hand, looking at Chu Mofeng and saying, "I only need the Night Pearl to come today, if you have the ability to take all the others, they will be some ill-gotten gains anyway." ”
Chu Mofeng looked at the woman and asked, "Are you Gu Zhen'er?" the woman nodded and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency has to do?"
Chu Mofeng immediately threw the reward order in his arms to Gu Zhen'er and said, "Your reward order is collected by yourself, I am here to save you." ”
Gu Zhen'er looked at the person in front of her and asked puzzledly: "Save me, how to save me, am I in prison now, why do you need to save me?" Or are you here to arrest me and receive a reward?"
Chu Mofeng cupped his forehead and said, "Why don't I tell you that I don't understand, of course I didn't come here for the reward, but really came to save you, Liu Feiyan was rescued from the government prison yesterday, you know? ”
Gu Zhen'er couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this: "Sister Feiyan has really come out of prison, it's great." Then he looked at Chu Mofeng suspiciously and said, "How do I know if what you said is true or false? If what you say is false, just to lure me out and arrest me, won't I capsize in the gutter." ”
Chu Mofeng smiled and said: "That's it, I'll stay here, you go first, ride to Zhangye County under Qilian Mountain, it is estimated that you and Liu Feiyan will go there before and after, and then you ask her if what I said is true or false, and I am also going to Lanzhou tonight to meet my companions, and then return to Zhangye County, if what I said is false, I will go to Zhangye County and let you dispose of it." In addition, the night pearl is on me, and I will give it to you when I get to Zhangye County. ”
Gu Zhen'er tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Okay, I have the right to believe you once, but why are you still here?"
"Be a thief, rob the rich and help the poor. I had to transport some of the money out of the house and distribute it to the poor people, and then I left for Lanzhou. Chu Mofeng picked up the bag and walked out step by step.
"I'll help you divide the money, I'll leave, wait for me to load the money." Then Gu Zhen'er took out a few cloth bags and walked towards the house on the right. After loading about four or five bags, Gu Zhen'er walked out and said to Chu Mofeng: "Let's go, let's rob him for the time being, and keep the rest for later." Then he carried the bag and walked to the backyard door.
Chu Mofeng hurriedly chased after her, thinking as he walked: Eldest sister, you are still really ruthless, and you are ready to do it again. It seems that being a thief is not a one-shot deal, you have to find some paper and pen to make a record, this one has robbed a few times, and that one has robbed a few times.
Out of the backyard, the two rode straight to the slum south of the city. At this time, Zhang Fu and the others waited for the quiet to wake up, looking around for Gu Zhen'er, everyone thought that Gu Zhen'er had returned in vain, and the joy couldn't help but well-up in their hearts, and Zhang Xun touched his waist habitually, and suddenly found that the key was missing, and then shouted: "Go find the key for me, and by the way, go to a few people to follow me to the backyard to see." ”
Everyone came to the door of the backyard warehouse to see, only to see the door of the warehouse open, as soon as they entered the house, they saw two servants being tied hands and feet and thrown on the ground, the angry Zhang Xun stepped forward and kicked the two with his feet, and after kicking for a while, the two woke up, and everyone hurriedly untied the rope for them, and the two knelt on the ground at this time and did not dare to come out.
Zhang Xun looked at the two and roared angrily: "Come on, why are you tied up and thrown on the ground, and if you can't say a reason to satisfy me, you two will die." ”
At this time, the two of them trembled and told what had happened, and then Zhang Xun asked: "Give me the night pearl that I will give you good care of." The servant who had kept the night pearl trembled and put his hand into his arms to touch the night pearl, and suddenly froze as if he had been pointed, at this time Zhang Xun said angrily: "What about the night pearl? ”
The two nodded in horror, and Zhang Xun scolded when he heard this: "You two waste, you can't do this thing well, go to the two rooms to see what else is lost." Several of the servants hurried to the left and right rooms to investigate, and then ran back with a frightened face.
One of the servants said to Zhang Xun nervously: "Master, you better go and see for yourself." Hearing this, Zhang Xun turned around and walked to the room on the left, and when he entered the room, he found that the original four shelves were full of gold, silver and jade, and at this time there was only one shelf left and a few sporadically, and then Zhang Xun trembled and shouted to the servant: "Come and help me go over there to have a look." ”
Came in two servants one left and one right to help Zhang Xun to the right room, only to see that the money stored in the house was less than half of the before, seeing this scene Zhang Xun was angry, and then spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and then tilted his head and fainted.
On the second day, the residents of the slums in the south of the city woke up in the morning to find a few hangings of money on their tables, and they knelt down to pray, praying that God would bless the people who gave the money for safety.
At the same time, on the road to Lanzhou, two fast horses galloped one after the other......
