Chapter 124: The Theft

Yangcheng at night was so quiet that you could hear the wind, the shopkeeper of the Dou Tong Inn was a little weird, and when Gu Qianxu and the others were about to fall asleep, the shopkeeper banged on the door with a big grin, waking up Gu Qianxu and others.

Qin Yilai refused to open the door on the bed, so Gu Qianxu had to get out of bed and open the door, "Ah, what's the matter with the shopkeeper......"

The shopkeeper touched his beard and said solemnly: "Now on the fifth day of the third month of the fifth year of the fifth year of the calendar year, the early morning of the sixth day of the third month, don't go out of the door of the room, don't come out when you hear any sound, I am talking about the rules of Yangcheng, you must remember it." ”

"Oh, thank you for the reminder, I'll go to bed first. After Gu Qianxu finished speaking, he closed the door directly, and fell asleep on the bed.

The shopkeeper sneered and did not speak, but went to the next room and began to knock on the door of the next room.

On the sixth day of the third month of the 518th year of the calendar, the ugly city of Yangcheng was quiet, and a quiet theft incident was about to strike again.

At sunrise, the Dou Tong Inn was the first to shout, shouting that the backpack was gone.

One by one, the east side of Yangcheng exploded instantly, and Qin Yi, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened and found that the long knife placed on the side was missing.

Qin Yi listened to the shouting and scolding outside the window, only to learn that in one night, the entire Yangcheng was swept away.

Qin Yi clenched his fists and slammed it on the table, "What a thief!

Gu Qianxu and the others were also frightened awake, and only asked what happened, Qin Yi explained angrily for a long time, pointing directly at the thief who stole his long knife was insatiable, and it was okay to steal valuables, and he actually had to steal the knife, for Qin Yi, the long knife was the root of life, the only weapon that fit his hand.

Gu Qianxu hurriedly opened the pillow, "It's over...... The money is gone......"

Gu Qianxu said that he had put all the money under the pillow and hid it before going to bed, but now it was gone, and Qin Yi hurriedly went to look for it when he heard it.

Qin Yi turned over for a long time and finally gave up, "It's really gone...... It looks like I'm going to starve to death next, and it's a little weird, I don't sleep and die, it's impossible not to notice that someone is stealing, isn't it a person who steals?"

Gu Qianxu instantly refreshed, "Hands made of wood?!"

Qin Yi lowered his head and shook his head again, "Fake, what kind of hand made of wood, do you really believe in the ghost story that you made, in my opinion, the person who steals things should not be simple, and he can not let me find out, and he has stolen many homes in one night, listening to those shouts, there should be dozens of them." ”

Gu Qianxu lay on the bed again, "Alas, forget it, don't worry about it so much, if you don't have money, you have to be blasted out by the shopkeeper, hurry up and sleep again, it's cold to sleep on the street." ”

Qin Yi shook his head and sighed, "Lu Bu is uncomfortable lying down, and he can't sleep when he doesn't sleep." ”

It was just over nine o'clock, and the shopkeeper first came to the room where Gu Qianxu and the others were.

The shopkeeper kicked in the door without saying a word, and Gu Qianxu and the others were startled again as soon as they woke up.

The shopkeeper came to the table and sat down on the stool, "I stayed for one night, and the rent I paid last night is due, so it's time to pay it separately." ”

The old beggar politely bowed down and said, "Our money has been stolen and we can't pay it...... Shopkeeper, can you slow down, let's find another way to pay the rent. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head angrily, "Then there is no way, I was also patronized by the tower thief." ”

Gu Qianxu thought for a while and wondered: "The shopkeeper is a little strange, last night, you personally knocked on the door and said don't go out no matter what movement you hear, but this morning our things are gone." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't frame good people, the days of the sixth day of the first month are not ordinary, have you heard of the hands made of wood?" It's the day when the night watchman died, who knew that the tower thief hid people's eyes and ears, but at this time, others thought it was related to the wooden hand, but I found the clue at a glance, the wooden hand likes to live in groups, stealing things will make a sound, and the same as a mouse, but now I didn't hear anything stolen, I was afraid to keep watch all night last night, I fainted for some reason, and finally I found out that there was smoke, and it must be related to the tower thief. ”

Qin Yi nodded proudly, "No wonder, I just said that my speculation is very accurate, and it is artificial at first glance, why do you call him a tower thief." ”

"You guys came from other places, the tower thieves will patronize Yangcheng every five years, and they have come seven times, but he is a little different from this time, the past seven times he only stole the property of the bad people, and the sixth time he came shocked the entire Yangcheng, because the tower thieves stole the town demon tower of Yangcheng, of course, it was not a big tower, and the gold beads on the town demon tower, there is only a hand made of wood under the town demon tower, the gold beads are used to suppress the wood hand, they all thought that Yangcheng would come with bad news, which made people panic, but nothing happened that time, and this time it was a little different, the tower thieves came in advance, everyone was stolen, and a good person like me was also patronized, the tower thief has also gone bad. After talking for a while, the shopkeeper cried and said that the tower thief had forgotten his original intention.

Gu Qianxu grabbed the key point and asked, "Where is the Town Demon Tower?!"

The shopkeeper who was still crying first wiped the corners of his eyes instantly, and his expression changed suddenly, "Ask the Demon Town Tower what to do, of course the tower is in Yangcheng, in the barren forest in the north, it is said that there is a catacomb under the Demon Town Tower, but no one can dig it, so the tower is almost pushed." ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper shook his head, "No, don't diverge, pay the rent first." ”

"We've had our money stolen, damn it, all the knives we've stolen. Qin Yi got angry when he thought about it, and scolded the tower thieves for being shameless.

Gu Qianxu sighed and said: "Shopkeeper, see if you can give two days of grace, we are not familiar with each other, and we can't pay the rent for the time being." ”

The shopkeeper softened and said: "Alas, seeing that you are as pitiful as me, I will let you live for two days, if you can't pay the rent, I won't pity you, don't blame me then." ”

Gu Qianxu nodded and smiled, "Okay, we will definitely find a way to pay it off, by the way, what does Yangcheng do to make money." ”

The shopkeeper closed one eye and said: "Selling Dan has always been very profitable, and it is also very profitable to go on errands, seeing that you are like homeless people, you should have some skills on your body, it is better to make money by performing arts." ”

Gu Qianxu thanked the shopkeeper again, the shopkeeper smiled and pointed out a clear road, and asked Gu Qianxu and others to go to the west of Yangcheng, saying that there are many rich people there, and there are often some sons and young masters who lose money, and there are also family shortages who will come to pick people.

When it was almost lunchtime, Gu Qianxu and the others went to the west of Yangcheng hungry and found a place with many people.

A man who looked like a boy shouted to Gu Qianxu and the others, "Hey, you guys stand first." ”

Gu Qianxu and the others stopped, and looked back to see a man.

"My name is Zhang Layer, the three of you follow me all the way, go to the east of Yangcheng to help me clean up a few people, if you can succeed, I will give you three sixty golden tickets. Zhang Layer came up and introduced it directly, saying that he asked Qin Yi, Gu Qianxu and Varago to go to the east of Yangcheng with him, and Zhang Layer had a slap mark on his face, as if he was beaten and a little angry.

Zhang Layer felt that the old beggar was too old and didn't plan to take the old beggar there.

The old beggar smiled, "You can bring me with you, just add ten gold tickets, people seem to be old but very useful." ”

Zhang Layer nodded and said, "Okay, don't grind anymore, otherwise the grandson will run away." ”

Qin Yi nodded, and then carried the chapter layer on his shoulder, walking briskly along the way, and the chapter layer shouted that he could take revenge.

Under the guidance of the chapter layer, Gu Qianxu and others came to the Qinglou, and the women in the Qinglou were so enchanting that a smile could seduce the soul of a man.

Gu Qianxu looked at the women in the Qinglou, "They really don't have any clothes." ”

Zhang Layer nodded and smiled, "Of course there must be less, otherwise you have to go home and farm, don't say so much, you will listen to me later, when the table and stool will be smashed directly, they will all be handed over to me to compensate, don't be merciful, you can't lose your momentum." ”

As soon as Zhang Layer finished speaking, he swaggered into the Qinglou with Gu Qianxu and others, and the miscellaneous servants of the Qinglou came to persuade them, but the five of them did not listen to the dissuasion, and the identity of the Zhang Layer was not simple, so the miscellaneous servants could only follow.

Zhang Layer took Gu Qianxu and others and kicked in the door directly.

"Tao Ji, you get out of here. Zhang Layer shouted, and saw the bed shake a few times and stopped.

Tao Ji shook his body and got down from under the bed, "What are you yelling at, don't you see me venting?!"

With Gu Qianxu and others present, Zhang Layer said with a full look: "Dare to rob the courtesan Yuan Xiaoman with me?"

Tao Ji snorted coldly, "Yuan Xiaoman doesn't sell his art, what's the use of using it, besides, you hit her chest under my nose, I hate people like you the most, who do I beat if I don't beat you?!"

Gu Qianxu was not happy when he heard this, "What, you actually defile other people's bodies, we don't take your order, just as we are unlucky!"

Zhang Layer ran forward and grabbed Gu Qianxu, "Alas, don't go! Don't forget that you promised me, but you can't go back!"

"Zhang Layer Xiaoer, you are so shameless, you dare to make trouble without telling others the truth. Not long after Tao Ji finished speaking, he went to block the way of Gu Qianxu and the others, "It's not easy for everyone, how much money did Zhang Layer promise to give you." ”

Qin Yi opened his mouth and said, "A total of seventy golden tickets. ”

Tao Ji sighed angrily: "You all know that Zhang Layer is a villain, openly attacking the courtesan's round and full chest, it's better to be like this, I think you are quite upright, in order not to let you return empty-handed, I Tao Ji paid out of my own pocket and gave you twenty golden tickets, so I should make a friend." ”

Gu Qianxu and the others nodded their heads and promised not to mix again, and then thanked Tao Ji.

"Don't, I gave out seventy golden tickets, fifty more than his, you don't keep your promises!" Zhang Layer understood that as long as Gu Qianxu left, Tao Ji would beat him.

Tao Ji gave Gu Qianxu and others twenty golden tickets, and Gu Qianxu and others didn't stay long, and thanked Tao Ji for going out.

Tao Ji glanced back at Zhang Layer, "Chapter Layer Xiaoer, the person you sent was a little unreliable, he actually dropped you, hit your chest and was beaten and went to shout again, so a thief shouted to catch a thief, it seems that the slap I just now was too strong, and it didn't wake you up!"

After Tao Ji finished speaking, he slapped him directly, and Zhang Layer covered his face and didn't dare to move.

Tao Ji shook his head and smiled, "Gongzi Zhang is really aggrieved, there is no place to reason after being beaten, and Old Master Zhang can't help you." ”

"Don't be arrogant, sooner or later, I'll have to clean you up. After Zhang Layer finished speaking, he covered his face and ran out, and the miscellaneous servants also followed, not understanding who Tao Ji was, and he dared to beat the son of the Zhang family.

Gu Qianxu and the others returned to the Dou Tong Inn and paid the rent of two golden tickets, but seeing that the food in the Dou Tong Inn could not be described in words, they went out to find an inn to fill their stomachs.

When he returned to the Dou Tong Inn and stayed in Shen, Gu Qianxu planned to think of another way to make money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to last long with the rest of the money.

The small ding that Du Yun gave to Gu Qianxu was also stolen, and Gu Qianxu thought for a while and said, "I'll go out to the Ding shop to have a look, buy a small Ding alchemy, and then take out the pill and sell it." ”

Qin Yi nodded in agreement, and then said, "I'll go with you." ”
