54 Search the Green House

Su Chen ran back to Gusu County along the corner of the street, avoided the thugs from the back door, climbed the third floor of the Yanyu Building, and entered Anu's boudoir through the window.

Everything was the same in the boudoir, and Miss Anu was still asleep at this time, not yet awakened from the hypnotic powers.

Only the incense in the incense burner, the cigarette smoke, has burned most of it, and the room is full of the smell of medicinal incense.

Su Chen took off the masked black scarf and threw the remaining medicinal incense into the heating stove in the room and burned it clean, leaving no traces.

Open the window to bring in fresh air from outside, and quickly dilute the medicinal smell in the room.

He took another stick of sandalwood from the cupboard, folded it in half, and lit it on the incense table. I got two more burned-out sticks of incense and inserted them in the incense stick. A stick of incense is a quarter of an hour. According to the number of sandalwood, about half an hour has passed.

The smell of sandalwood grew stronger, masking the original smell of medicine, and he closed the window again.

After doing this, Su Chen checked again to see if there were any omissions.

He touched the cold book of jade slips in his arms, and looked out the window at the street in the distance.

I saw that some officials with torches had appeared on the streets, and the silent streets were red under the dark night, shouting loudly.

"The Hanshan Taoist Temple was stolen, a treasure book was lost, and Gusu City implemented an emergency curfew!"

"The county magistrate ordered to urgently close the gates of the city and arrest the thieves. ”

The leaders of the major teams of the yamen poured out with groups of officials and strong tench fish, walked the streets and alleys, searched from house to house, and set up cards to arrest suspicious people.

Su Chen looked out the window, holding a torch and running on the street, and couldn't help frowning deeply.

He stole the Book of Jade Slips from the Hanshan Taoist Temple and fled to the Yanyu Building, and after such a short time, the entire Gusu County was already in turmoil.

The Taoist priest of the Hanshan Taoist Temple was able to invite the third class of the county government to search the city and arrest him, and his strong influence in Gusu City was really terrifying.

Su Chen's heart was inexplicably shocked.

He knew he was in big trouble, bigger than he thought.

I don't know what the Book of Jade Jane is, like stabbing a hornet's nest, making the Hanshan Taoist Temple so aggressive.

Fortunately, he was cautious before making his move, made arrangements in advance, and arranged a safe place in the Yanyu Building.

The county seat of Gusu is very large, with a population of as many as 100,000 households, even if the officials of the brigade are dispatched, they will not be able to search for a while, otherwise he will be passive now, tired of running and hiding in the city, I am afraid it will be really bad.

Su Chen pondered for a while, the book of jade slips and gold ingots should not be placed on his body, wrap the cloth and them, and hide the beams of the house in an extremely hidden place.

...

Su Chen sat in the room, and felt that it was not appropriate to sit dry. So he took down a spare book from the bookshelf on the side of the side of the side of the room and pretended to be reading.

The sandalwood on the table curls and the light smoke fills the table.

After another short while, Anu's medicinal power passed, and finally woke up leisurely, a pair of clear beautiful eyes looked around, and found that he actually fell asleep while playing the piano, Su Chen was still sitting opposite the curtain, and couldn't help but apologize.

"Ah, Master Su, I'm sorry, Anu wanted to play a piano song for you, but I didn't expect to fall asleep. How long have I been asleep?"

"Ah, it won't be long, and I will take a break for half an hour. I know a little bit about medicine, and I see that your face is a little pale, and your complexion is not very good, it is estimated that Miss Anu is too sad to practice the piano during this time, and she will fall asleep when she is tired! I saw that you were a little tired, so I didn't bother to wake up, and read the idle book for a while. ”

Su Chen coughed lightly, pretended to flip through the books in his hand, and said with a smile.

He didn't worry about being seen, the Book of Jade Slips and the gold ingots had long been hidden, and there was no evidence, so who could do anything to him.

Miss Anu and Su Chen looked at the incense platform through a layer of gauze curtains, and most of the sandalwood was burned, and there were two residual incense sticks in the furnace, I am afraid that it would be more than half an hour.

She was a little confused, and she didn't know why she took a nap and slept for a long time.

"Bang bang~!"

"Open the door, the county master has an order to urgently arrest a Jiangyang thief!"

A team leader of the bureaucracy, with dozens of officials, broke into the Yanyu Building.

Originally, the guards and thugs guarding the door of the Yanyu Building were stunned for a moment when they saw the officials rushing in fiercely.

These officials of the county government are also frequent visitors to Yanyulou, and their relationship with the horse gang and Yanyulou has always been harmonious, and they rarely break in so rudely to arrest people.

Without the support of powerful bigwigs, these low-level officials would not dare to offend Yanyulou, which is the territory of the Ma Gang, one of the five powerful gangs in the rivers and lakes.

The girls in the Yanyu Building were even more frightened and panicked.

The old bustard's mother, Li, hurriedly led the thugs of the nursing home to block the group of wolf-like officials, recognized the leading team leader, and said in a loud voice: "Second Master Zhang, our Yanyulou is the territory under the name of the Ma Gang, you can't trespass!"

"Mama Li, I'm sorry, it's useless for anyone to come this time! Hanshan Taoist Temple lost a treasure book. The county commander made a death this time, and the whole city rewarded and arrested the thief, and now the city gate of the entire Gusu County has been blocked, and it is being searched door to door!

You smoke and rain building, mixed fish and dragons, this master knows that this place is the easiest to hide, so it is the focus of the search of this team. If you dare to stop it... Although the Ma Gang is a big gang, I am afraid that it will not be able to offend the Hanshan Immortal Zun and the county yamen. In this Gusu County, even the dragon has to lie on my stomach and obey the control of my yamen!"

The leader of the team, Zhang Erye, was quite proud and grinned.

On weekdays, his team is a grandson in front of the big high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, and it is rare to take advantage of the majesty of the county magistrate and the Hanshan Taoist Temple to take a look at the Yanyu Building.

At this time, he saw a big manager of the Ma Gang hurriedly coming in from outside, waved his hand to let the old bustard Li Ma and the thugs stand down, and said in a deep voice: "Li Ma retreat, there is no need to stop it! Second Master Zhang, search at will!"

Zhang Erye was quite arrogant and pushed away the old bustard Li Ma and the thugs in the nursing home, rushed to the attic with a group of officials, and kicked the door from room to room to search.

"When the people in the room come out, they all come out for the master, and the yamen will check it!"

"Yamen *** foreign thief, those who find the clues of the thief and the treasure book, the yamen will be rewarded!"

There was chaos in the Yanyu Building, and the girls in the room, the rich boys, and the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes were brought out one after another, and there was a lot of noise and abuse.

...

Inside the boudoir on the third floor.

Anu put away his thoughts and was about to play a song for Su Chen again.

But I heard the noisy sound of a large group of officials searching for a Jiangyang thief in the Yanyu Building. She couldn't help but wonder, thinking that she had fallen asleep inexplicably just now, and vaguely guessed.

She slept for half an hour just now, enough to do a lot of things, could it be that Su Chen left halfway?

But she saw Su Chen holding a book in her hand, with a calm and calm expression, and it seemed that she had been staying in the boudoir to read, and she couldn't see anything.

Anu couldn't help but feel a little worried, she didn't know what was going on. provoked a large-scale search of the whole city of Yamen, and even places like the Magang's territory, Yanyulou, were not spared, but I am afraid that it is not a trivial matter.

Su Chen was calm, he was cautious, and even in this boudoir, there were no flaws. Even the sandalwood stick on the incense platform was broken, and a small amount was left, and it was burning. There were two extinguished remnants of incense left next to it, and the time was completely right.

"Bang ——!"

With a loud bang, the boudoir door was directly kicked open by Zhang Erye and several officials.

Several officials rushed into the chamber, but saw a young man and a young girl sitting opposite each other through the veil, playing the piano and listening to the music.

"Ah, what's the matter with the officials?"

Su Chen was listening to the piano and looked at the head of the official team who broke in, startled and surprised.

The head of the official team, Zhang Erye, was quite arrogant and glanced at Su Chen with contempt.

Su Chen was wearing the Medicine King Gang Qingyi Miscellaneous Service Uniform, and his identity was obvious, he was a low-level deacon in the Miscellaneous Service Hall, and he belonged to the lowest disciple.

Zhang Erye was immediately disappointed.

This kind of miscellaneous disciple of the Medicine King Gang, just a little minions in the rivers and lakes, has a few taels of silver in his pocket, and he actually came to visit the Qinglou, which is really useless!

This obviously does not belong to a big man at the level of Jiangyang Thief.

Master Li also instructed that the targets of the Yamen's key investigation and interrogation this time were first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, especially thieves with criminal records. This kind of character is possible to steal the treasure book from among the masters of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, under the nose of the Qinghe Dao Chief.

"You handyman, you have two small coins in your pocket, and you actually came to visit the Qinglou, and you will enjoy it better than the master!

The head of this squad was ordered by the county lord to search for a Jiangyang thief and interrogate any suspicious people. ... Have you been out of town tonight?"

Second Master Zhang couldn't help sneering, knowing that it was unlikely, so he still had a routine interrogation.

"I have been in the Yanyu Building since evening, and I have been listening to the piano at Miss Anu without leaving half a step... I wonder what's going on?!"

Su Chen shook his head, looking dazed.

"Several officials, this son has been staying in the boudoir of the slave family since the evening, and has never left this room for half a step. I'm afraid that the official has misunderstood!"

Miss Anu also hurriedly stood up and saluted and testified.

Zhang Erye glanced at the room a few times, but did not find anything suspicious, and knew that it would be a waste of time to ask again, so he withdrew.

He summoned the old bustard Li's mother and asked when the medicine king gang handyman entered the Yanyu Building.

The old bustard's mother Li was immediately happy, and waved a fang pa and said, "Second Master Zhang, you can ask the right person." This little brother came in the evening, and I personally welcomed him in. There are so many girls and guards in our building, they have all seen it with their own eyes, and so many of us are not blind!"

The girls in the Qinglou behind nodded one by one.

Seeing that there were witnesses, Zhang Erye saw that Su Chen entered the Yanyu Building in the evening and did not leave half a step, so he naturally had no suspicion, and left in a hurry to search other rooms.

"Second Master Zhang, let's open the door in the evening to welcome guests in this Yanyu Building, how can there be any suspects! This is a distinguished guest, you should always search elsewhere!"

Mother Li blocked the door and persuaded bitterly.

"Less nonsense, all rooms must be searched!"

Second Master Zhang was aggressive, led the officials, and kicked open the wing.

Everyone outside the door heard it, and the team leader entered the room, and there was a "snap" slap, followed by a slap.

"Zhang Ergou, blind your dog's eyes!

The second master of the class, who was originally arrogant and domineering, covered his mouth and was slapped wide, and withdrew in a panic with a face full of grievances, and he didn't dare to say a word of.

Inside the house, there were the aggrieved cries of several women after being frightened, and the voices hurriedly flattered and coaxed the women.

Following behind the squad leader, all the officials were stunned and did not dare to break in for a while.

Who is in this, so strong! Dare to commit a crime against the wind and beat the team leader!

Zhang Erye covered his red and swollen cheeks, he really wanted to cry without tears, and the grievances in his stomach could only be swallowed in his stomach.

In this room, it was actually Wang Fuhao, the eldest son of the county commander Wang, who was drinking flower wine with several sisters in Yanyulou in the wing room, preparing to spend the Spring Festival together, and was disturbed by him.

It's fucking unlucky.

If he knew that the prince was there, he would not have rushed into it stupidly and suffered this slap in vain.

Mother Li's eyebrows were crooked when she was laughing next to her, but she had already reminded her that there were distinguished guests in this room, and she couldn't break in. No, it's self-inflicted!

The head of the class, Zhang Erye, was obedient this time, knowing that there were many powerful and powerful people in this Yanyu Building, so he didn't dare to kick the door again, so he took the officials to knock on the door honestly to greet him, and searched up and down hundreds of rooms in the Yanyu Building.

But this Jiangyang thief is really hard to find.

This smoke and rain building is mixed, there are three religions and nine streams, there are everyone, powerful sons, big businessmen who go south and north, all of them look very suspicious, and there is no evidence at all when you look closely, and you don't dare to catch any of them.

The head of the official team, Zhang Erye, checked it again, but he couldn't find Jiang Yang's thief, covered his red and swollen cheeks, and left with a group of officials in discouragement.

"Second Master Zhang, come back another day when you have time! Sisters are thinking about you, don't break in with such a fierce god and scare people to death!"

Mama Li waved goodbye. The sisters in the Yanyu Building laughed and were overjoyed.

...

Su Chen was still staying in Anu's boudoir upstairs, listening to the movement downstairs disappearing, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The servants are finally gone. As long as you dodge this first wave of search, it will be easy to deal with later. Only the officials had the right to conduct a thorough search at the door. Disciples of other gangs in the rivers and lakes are not allowed, and they can only set up cards on the street for interrogation.

I heard the officials say that the gates of Gusu County have been blocked on all sides, and they can't get out of the county.

Su Chen could only stay in the Yanyu Building first, waiting for the blockade to be lifted.

It seems that for the time being, he can't act rashly, and he can only wait for the storm of the past few days to pass, and then he will take that mysterious treasure back to Yaowang Villa to hide.

It is estimated that after going back, I will have to hide in the villa for a while to avoid the limelight. However, you can take the opportunity to study this treasure.
