Chapter 119: The thief shouts to catch the thief
After walking to the room, Xu Tianbao was surprisingly calm and handed over the two burdens to Li Moru and Su Kui respectively.
After the two took over the burden, he looked indifferent and said, "Two, the two of you have already received the life money for my husband and wife, I don't know if you can let me and the two of you live?" ”
Li Moru said: "That's natural, I didn't come to take your life, just to remind you, don't do that kind of useless thing in the future, you should know that ordinary people can't kill me." ”
He walked out of the door with Su Kui, and before going out, Li Moru unconsciously glanced back, and left after making sure that there was no problem.
As soon as the two of them walked out of Xu's mansion, it didn't take long for the gongs and drums to beat and shout to catch the thief, "Someone, it's not good, a thief has broken in." ”
"Quick, don't let them run. ”
Li Moru and Su Kui didn't want to continue to make trouble, so they hurriedly ran away, I don't know when, the backyard of Xu's house actually lit a fire, after Su Kui and Li Moru walked away, they saw the fire in the direction of Xu's house, and couldn't help but be surprised, they obviously didn't set the fire, could it be that the Xu family accidentally caught fire?
The two of them didn't bother with their affairs, it didn't seem that the fire was big, and the people were awake, or it wouldn't be long before the fire would be suppressed, the two walked on the road with heavy silver on their backs, Su Kui asked: "Brother Li, how are you going to use so much money?"
"Give it to the poor, for perhaps the money comes from them, and isn't it a correctional fee, so let the poor people teach him a lesson." ”
Su Kui smiled: "Then are we killing the rich and helping the poor?"
"Let's not. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, looking for those beggars or outsiders who couldn't eat everywhere in Luzhou City, as well as those families with four walls.
After the two of them found a place to find a place to distribute the silver to the poor man who was huddled in the corner of Luzhou, in the end, Li Moru left a hundred taels for himself. After the two returned to the inn, after eating the food and drinks on the table, they went back to their rooms to prepare for a good night's sleep.
The next morning, the sunlight poured into the room, and the two woke up in exhaustion, thinking it was a quiet morning, but they heard a noisy noise from downstairs of the inn.
After the two were woken up, they both opened the windows, ready to express their most cordial greetings to the good deeds passing downstairs, but they didn't think about it, but they heard the news that both of them were shocked.
A person downstairs was surprised to share the latest news, "Have you heard, the Xu Mansion was stolen last night." ”
"Really, when?"
"Just last night, and I heard that even Xu Tianbao's room was burned, and the flames were so bright that the entire Luzhou City could see that scene. ”
The crowd spoke as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Someone else joined the discussion with the latest news, and the man said: "I heard, Xu Tianbao's wife was burned to death last night." ”
"What? is that tigress Zhao?" the man's tone also revealed a little fear.
The man said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it's that Zhao family, today Xu Tianbao also offered a reward of five hundred taels of silver, saying that as long as anyone catches those two, he will give five hundred taels, whether they live or die, and if they provide clues about where the two are, they can get twenty taels of silver." ”
Someone sighed: "It seems that this Xu Tianbao really loves his lady." ”
"Love a fart, he's doing it for others to see. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"I haven't heard of it, Xu Tianbao took the Zhao family because he fell in love with the Zhao family's property, otherwise who would have looked down on the old and ugly, grumpy dead fat woman with that song. ”
"Maybe people like this?"
"You're bored and like a mouthful of oil. ”
"What a fart, I heard that Xu Tianbao had secretly raised a lover outside a long time ago, but because of the existence of the Zhao family, he never dared to take him home as a concubine. ”
In this way, these two thieves also helped Xu Tianbao. ”
"Not really. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe Xu Tianbao took the opportunity of being robbed and set fire to his own mother?"
"Not really!"
"What if. ”
"Hey, it doesn't matter who killed him, anyway, without that tigress, our future days will be much cleaner. ”
Someone else talked eloquently about the beggar picking up the money this morning, "I heard that this morning, when many beggars got up, they found silver around them, and I think it was made by those two people yesterday." ”
For some reason, many people hate the Zhao family so much.
"It deserves it, this Zhao family usually relies on his family to have a little relationship in Luzhou City, this is God has eyes, good and good repay evil, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come." ”
Of course, there are also people who feel sorry for not being able to receive the silver distributed by Li Moru and Su Kui at night.
"Well, I knew I slept on the street last night, and maybe I would have woken up this morning and picked up the silver. ”
"You said that they didn't know how to steal more, so they simply emptied the Xu Mansion and used it to help us poor people, anyway, their Xu family's money is not serious money. ”
"It's okay, not yesterday, you can today, maybe those two haven't gone far yet, if you come again tonight, then you'll make a lot of money." ”
"You're right, now I'm going to go find my old rags and lie down on the street at night. ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the laughter made Li Moru and Su Kui upstairs feel sick, and the two of them remembered that there was indeed a fire after the two left last night.
Could it be that there are other people who are also going to rob Xu Tianbao? But just now I heard from these people, there are only two people, and it is clearly themselves.
Su Kui hurriedly rushed to Li Moru's room, "Brother Li, could it be that the fire we saw last night was really the fire set by the person surnamed Xu?"
"I don't know, that guy looks quite honest, probably not. ”
"Then do it now, now we can't stay in Luzhou City, do you want to hurry up?"
Li Moru said: "But if we slip away like this, won't it prove that the woman surnamed Zhao was killed by us? ”
"What then?"
"Don't worry about it for now, we have to find a place to hide now, I guess, it won't be long before this Luzhou City is full of our portraits." ”
"Good. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Doesn't it mean that the most dangerous place is the safest place, let's go to Xu's mansion and take a look at how to throw away this black cauldron. ”
"Good. ”
After the two packed up their things, they performed light skills and rushed towards Xu's mansion, and after the two arrived at Xu's mansion, they found a place to hide first.
Up and down the Xu Mansion, the red lanterns were changed to white, everyone wore linen and filial piety to cherish the Zhao family, in the hall, a pitch-black Nanmu coffin contained the charred Zhao family, where did Xu Yin cry heartbreakingly.
He never thought that he was only twelve years old, and his mother who loved him so much died, for so many years, his father was always very busy, never took care of himself, all his own affairs were in charge of his mother, after his mother died, what should he do?
Xu Tianbao is picking up guests, Li Moru and Su Kui touched Xu Tianbao's study now, I heard that after Zhao's death, Xu Tianbao has been staying in the study, the two jumped in from the window, the sound was very small, for fear of alarming someone.
The two stayed in the room for a long time, but there were people coming and going outside the door, and they didn't think about where to go, so they simply stayed in the study for a while.
At night, the moonlight was bleak, and the Xu Mansion began a noisy conjuring, suona and gong, resounding through the clouds.
At this time, Xu Tianbao came to the study, Su Kui originally wanted to rush out to arrest him to ask about the situation, but he was stopped by Li Moru and said Wait, maybe there will be something else to discover.
Sure enough, after sitting for about half an hour, Xu Tianbao turned the landscape potted plant next to him, but he didn't expect that a door appeared behind the long painting behind him in the study, and he walked in along the door.
When he walked in, the potted plant automatically returned to its place, and the door closed.
Su Kui was surprised: "Brother Li, how did you know that there would be a secret passage here?"
"When I was in Wolong Villa before, I met a person, he has a secret passage anywhere, and Qingyuan Villa also has a secret passage for delivery, I think, Xu Tianbao can stay here for a night, maybe there will be some secrets here. ”
After coming over for a long time, he still didn't come out, so the two of them prepared to go in, just after the two of them were ready to go in, Xu Tianbao walked out of it, his clothes and hair accessories were a little messy, he sorted out his clothes, and then walked out with a sad look in an instant.
Li Moru and Su Kui walked towards the secret passage after he left, originally thought it was an ordinary secret passage, but they never thought that they walked along the secret passage to the end, and it turned out to be a house near Xu's mansion, and the room was directly connected to the inner room of that house, presumably to prevent anyone from seeing it from the outside.
In the back room, a woman who looked to be only in her twenties was lying there, wrapped in silk bedding that outlined her bumpy figure, the bowl on the desk next to the bed still had the residue of the medicine leftovers, and the pillow next to the woman was also soaked with sweat.
With the sound of breathing, the red belly pocket was like a undulating hill, moving up and down, the face was pink, the pale red lips also had traces of being bitten, the smell of fat powder came, and the slender jade hand was lying on the quilt, and there were faint traces of blood on the fingertips.
Su Kui and Li Moru retreated to the secret passage, and Su Kui said: "I didn't expect that Xu Tianbao, this bastard, would be a golden house. ”
"I think I was afraid of Zhao's tigress, so he made such a secret passage, but he was quite bold, so he kept his mistress next to his house. ”
Li Moru said: "The most dangerous place is the safest place, the Zhao family would never have imagined that Xu Tianbao would dare to keep his mistress here." ”
"Well, it seems that Xu Tianbao originally resented his wife, we went to his house last night, and he happened to be angry again, so he thought of this, let us carry the black pot, so what should we do now, how can we wash away the suspicion on our body?"
Li Moru pondered for a moment and said: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, I'll go to Xu's Mansion and bring his son over, what about you, here, think of a way to let that woman find out about Xu Tianbao's killing of his wife." ”
"Good. "Oh no, why don't you stay here and deal with this girl, I'll catch that kid." ”
"First, you haven't seen Xu Tianbao's son, what if you catch it wrong, and I'm much better than you, there are many people there, and it's more convenient for me to come than you; ”
Su Kui said: "That eye of yours shows that I am better at dealing with women than you?"
Li Moru smiled: "You see that you are so good-looking, but in terms of appearance, you have an innate advantage over me, so this kind of thing naturally has to be handed over to an experienced person like you." ”
"Okay, I'll go to Xu's Mansion first, you can do it. ”
Su Kui said proudly: "Since you have said so, then I will deal with this woman here, and Xu Tianbao's son will be handed over to you." ”
"Good. ”
