Chapter 65: Catch the thief and take the stolen goods

Around the dawn of the morning, Su Huai was practicing, only to hear a "squeak" Fang Jin pushed the door and walked in, Su Huai opened his eyes and asked, "Can you find out the situation in the city lord's mansion."

Fang Jin threw the burden on his shoulders on the table and said, "Everything valuable is here."

Su Huai walked to the table and exclaimed, "You have stolen it."

Fang Jintou looked up and said proudly, "That's it, the treasury of this city lord's mansion is no different from the back garden of my house, you can take it if you want to go."

Su Huai opened the baggage, it was all ancient characters and paintings, and frowned, "How can these things be divided."

Fang Jin said, "I have my own use for these calligraphy and paintings, as for money, Brother Su is with me."

The two came out at night, Su Huai followed Fang Jin through several paths, and walked to a wood, Fang Jin slowed down and looked around, and took Su Huai to the forest for more than fifty meters.

Su Huai looked around to see that there was nothing special, and just wanted to ask, but saw Fang Jin leaning down and picking up the dead branches and leaves on the ground, a burst of silver light flashed, and the ground was full of white flowers and silver.

Su Huai opened his mouth wide, "How much is this?"

Fang Jindao said, "It's almost 30,000 taels."

"So many, how did you come up with it" Su Huai was even more surprised.

Fang Jin laughed and said even more proudly, "Didn't I say just now, the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion is the back garden of my house, and if you can't finish it once, you can take it twice, three times, four times... In short, you can rest assured, no one will find out, why don't you send money with peace of mind tonight, and then go out with a swagger tomorrow morning."

Although Qingshan City is not too big, 30,000 taels of silver does seem to be a lot, but it is not too much to distribute to each family, Su Huai and Fang Jin were busy for half a night, when the sky was slightly bright, the two were lying on the roof of a family, listening to the occasional exclamation, presumably the family found the silver they left, but the exclamation was only for a moment and disappeared immediately, Fang Jin crossed Erlang's legs, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Why is it so slow."

Su Huai turned his head and asked, "What?"

Fang Jin lifted the burden with the ancient characters and paintings, and said, "That old guy's lifeline." Fang Jin said that the old guy is the city lord of Qingshan City, Lu Youde, this Lu Youde is a scholar, he has no cultivation, decades of mixed officialdom, and finally mixed into the lord of a city, although Qingshan City is small and remote, but it is also considered to be the emperor of Tiangao far away, the so-called standing high and seeing far, but Lu Youde also understands that it is hopeless to rise again with his own talents, if it is too late to abandon the literature and martial arts, he will pin all his hopes on his son, named Lu Daqi, I only hope that his son will become a great instrument as his name as soon as possible, and walk out of this Qingshan City, but it is a pity that Lu Daqi has not spent a whole day in cultivation since he was born, and Lu Daqi is already in his twentiesLu Youde simply doesn't care, out of sight and out of mind, only sighs that he is famous but has no successors, but fortunately, he has read books for a few more years, and wants to be a literati and a gentleman who no longer cares about this trouble, if he can leave a few ink treasures for future generations to evaluate, it is not in vain to be a good life, but there is no good scenery in Qingshan City, until his master Yu Qingshan sent a few famous calligraphy and paintings, since then this Lu Youde has been out of control and collected everywhere, and loves these ancient characters and paintings, and is not busy with going to work every morning, first have to taste the calligraphy and painting, and even copy it a few times, then I am satisfied.

Fang Jin secretly scolded Lu Youde for being so slow, didn't he find out that the calligraphy and painting had been lost, but he didn't know that the city lord's mansion had been turned upside down.

In the city lord's mansion, a thin man walked back and forth, his face was full of anger, and he looked at the letter paper in his hand, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Dad, you look for me" A fat body walked in quickly, but it was Lu Daqi, and the thin man was Lu Youde, the city lord of Qingshan City.

"Meet the Castle Lord"

An abrupt voice sounded, and Lu Youde looked around and didn't find anyone else.

A man with a pointed head and a sharp head walked out from behind Lu Daqi and saluted Lu Youde, this person was Lu Youde's master Yu Qingshan.

Lu Youde squinted at Yu Qingshan and didn't pay attention to it, but smashed the letter paper in his hand at Lu Daqi and said, "What trouble are you causing outside, my house full of calligraphy and paintings was all stolen overnight."

Lu Daqi picked up the letter paper and looked at it, only to see that the paper wrote "There is no virtue, there is no virtue", this letter is left by Fang Jin, it is the father and son of the Lu family, this Lu Youde studied calligraphy and painting at home all day long, and has not gone out for a month, but Lu Daqi is the only one who causes trouble outside every day, and it must have caused someone to suffer from this disaster.

Lu Daqi stared at the letter paper and tried to recall that he had taken an apple, a pear, a discounted meal yesterday, and... , Lu Daqi counted so many things, they are all places he often goes, everyone has been bullied by himself five or six times, if he wants to steal it, he will steal it a long time ago, how can he get today, Lu Daqi shook his fat head, "No, I didn't cause trouble yesterday."

Then Lu Youde doesn't care if Lu Daqi is in trouble or not, all he cares about now is who stole the house full of calligraphy and paintings, Lu Youde is not to teach his son a lesson, what he wants is just a clue to steal people, Lu Youde shook his sleeves and said angrily, "Think again."

Yu Qingshan saw that Lu Daqi had no clue, stepped forward and reminded: "Childe, think about what kind of eye-born person you saw yesterday."

Lu Daqi only cares about what is delicious and fun, no matter what kind of acquaintances you have, he can't remember them all, and he shook his head and said, "No."

Yu Qingshan sighed lightly and said in his heart: "This pig's head is really unreliable."

Lu Youde became more and more angry, looking like he hated iron but not steel, and suddenly saw Yu Qingshan sighing, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Master Yu has always been resourceful, but there is a good plan."

As soon as Yu Qingshan heard his name, his heart was cold, and he secretly scolded himself for staying aside, and came out to make a lot of fun, sure enough, Lu Youde handed over the burden of finding calligraphy and painting to himself, if he had some bad ideas and played a little clever to help Lu Youde get a few paintings and calligraphy, he would be fine, but if he really handled the case to collect evidence and find people, he estimated that he would be similar to the fat man in front of him.

Yu Qingshan's eyes rolled and said respectfully, "Your lord's calligraphy and painting are worth ten thousand gold, I am afraid that no one in Qingshan City can accept them, you might as well let Lord Wu set up a strict investigation at the city gate, if this thief wants to go out to sell stolen goods, he will be able to capture the thief alive and find the calligraphy and painting."

Lu Youde didn't have any idea for a while, so he promised, "Then you go and inform Wu Dashan quickly, and you must not damage the calligraphy and paintings."

"Yes" Yu Qingshan agreed, hurriedly retreated, beckoned a carriage to go straight to the city gate, as long as he brought the words to Wu Dashan, his burden would be lighter by more than half, and he couldn't do the work of leading soldiers to chase thieves.

The place where Su Huai and Fang Jin are located is not too remote, if something big happens in the city, it will definitely be seen, a team of soldiers hurriedly walked towards the city gate, Fang Jin saw this situation and patted his thigh and said, "It's done", and beckoned Su Huai to say, "Let's go, let's go out of the city."

Su Huai sat up straight and naturally saw the soldiers of the brigade, but Su Huai didn't understand why Fang Jin waited until the other party was on guard before leaving, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble to leave before anyone noticed, Su Huai pointed to the team of soldiers who were far away and asked, "Why did Brother Fang wait until this time to leave", put his hand on the roof, and jumped off the roof with Fang Jin.

The two of them did not stop, as if they were two people who had nothing to do, and walked towards the city gate without hurrying, Fang Jin patted the burden of calligraphy and painting, and said with a smile, "Brother Su knows how much these calligraphy and paintings are worth."

Su Huai didn't know much about antique calligraphy and painting, but seeing Fang Jin's proud appearance would not be cheap, and he guessed that "it must not be less than 30,000 taels of silver."

Fang Jin stretched out five fingers and said, "500,000."

Su Huai opened his mouth wide in surprise and didn't speak, he didn't expect it to be worth so much.

Su Huai's surprised expression made Fang Jin very satisfied, and continued, and the city lord of Qingshan City regarded these calligraphy and paintings as his life, if he learned that he was taken out of the city, he would definitely go out to pursue the two of us.

Su Huai said suddenly, "So you use these calligraphy and paintings to lure all the soldiers and generals in Qingshan City out of the city, there is no one in the city to use, and there will not be enough people to check the lost silver, and when the pursuers return to the city, the rumors have passed, and the silver has already been used up and replaced with other things."

Fang Jin nodded and said, "That's true, and I also said that Chongming Island only accepts wicked people, I want the soldiers of Qingshan City to send the two of us to Chongming Island, so that everyone knows that you and I stole the treasure of the city lord and were hunted down by the soldiers of Qingshan City, so I entered Chongming Island for refuge in desperation."

Su Huai clapped his hands and applauded, "It's really a good plan", he never thought that Fang Jin thought so far.

Along the way, the soldiers passed by, the people avoided one after another, Fang Jin and Su Huai were not arrogant enough to clash with the officers and soldiers on the street, and with the crowd to the side, in just ten minutes, there were already two groups of officers and soldiers rushed to the city gate, Qingshan City claimed to be five hundred guards, but in fact there were more than one hundred people, Fang Jin and Su Huai arrived at the city gate when there were thirty or forty defenders, and everyone who went out of the city was searched very carefully.

Fang Jin and Su Huai also followed the team out of the city, slowly approaching the city gate and waiting to search out of the city, when the two of them were about to hear the sound of axle horses' hooves, a carriage rushed towards the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city were shocked that the thieves were going to rush out of the horse, and they all raised their guns to line up, but they heard a soldier shouting "Master Wu, the thief is coming."

A loud shout, only to see a man jumped down from the top of the city tower, both hands open the black clothes swing like a peng spread its wings, the city is more than 20 meters high, this jump soldiers cheered and the people shouted are shocked, the man in black did not wear official uniforms, slightly older, at this moment it looks like a mighty spirit, this person is the guard of Qingshan City, Wu Dashan is old, when he was injured was rescued by Lu Youde, plus he has a wife and children in Qingshan City, this has been staying in Qingshan City as a guard, he is honest and loyal, and even quarreled with Lu Youde a few times, just because Wu Dashan and the city lord's mansion people are not compatible, simply ran to the city gate and no longer enter the house, fortunately, Wu Dashan's cultivation is still quite strong, and he has become the Dinghai Divine Needle in the eyes of the people and the government.

Wu Dashan's toes swept over the heads of everyone and stood in the front, the carriage was already close, only to see the coachman holding the reins, the horses neighed and the front hooves were raised high, as if seeing many soldiers with guns frightened, the carriage did not stop and still slid forward, Wu Dashan jumped up, his palm patted lightly on the carriage, turned around with the force of the shock, jumped on the horse's back, and pressed his palm lightly, the horse's four hooves fell to the ground, and the carriage and the horse stopped.

There was another round of cheering.

"Master Yu, why is he in such a hurry, isn't there news of a thief," Wu Dashan said into the carriage.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a man with a pointed head and a pointed head walked out, and said with a smile, "Thank you Lord Wu for your help, Yu Mou is here to pass the word for Lord Lu."

Wu Dashan listened quietly, and Yu Qingshan said again, "My lord has an order, catch the thief alive, and you must not damage the calligraphy and painting."

"I know, you go back and tell your lord, I will bring back the calligraphy and paintings" Wu Dashan said lightly, but he gave an order to expel the guests, and said to the soldiers around him, "Continue to search, don't delay people out of the city."

Yu Qingshan was secretly happy, he just came over to pass on a message, you let me go, better.

Su Huai saw Nawu Dashan jump down from the city tower and stop the carriage in one go, and praised "good kung fu".

Fang Jin patted Su Huai's shoulder and whispered, "In the late stage of the Xuan level, I will stop him in a while, and you will open the way ahead."

Su Huai nodded, "Okay."

The two of them were thinking about how they would escape, but they heard a voice behind them, "You two stop".

The two turned to look, but saw Yu Qingshan standing on the carriage, pointing at Su Huai and Fang Jin.
