Gusu County stayed awake all night, and the three classes of officials searched for the mysterious Jiangyang thief in the whole city.

The major gangs in the rivers and lakes also checked and corrected themselves, after all, those who dared to go to the Hanshan Taoist Temple to steal the treasure book must be the top masters of the rivers and lakes, and the disciples of these big gangs are also suspicious.

The helm of the Sky Eagle Gate is in Gusu County, and it is naturally even more noisy. Under the order of Chief Administrator Liu, the law enforcement team of the inner hall of the Heavenly Eagle Gate began to track down the disciples who had been out of the helm that night.

The young disciple of the law enforcement team found the swordsman who guarded the gate.

The gatekeeper hurriedly reported that the rudder gate was closed at night. However, some disciples have been in and out of the back door, and they returned late at night. Among them are the inner disciples, as well as the disciples of the Miscellaneous Service Hall.

Ugly pushed a dung truck and bowed his head to a thatched house in the backyard, ready to dig out the dung.

Soon, he was stopped by several inner gate law enforcement disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Gate, and sternly asked where he had left the chief rudder at night.

When Ah Chou saw these senior brothers of the law enforcement team, he immediately sat on the ground in shock, and his blue scar face turned white with fright.

"A few senior brothers, there is a lot of feces accumulated in the hall in the past few days, I~ I am afraid that the senior brothers will smell the smell during the day and blame it, so I go out at night and pour some of it.

I dig out dung for you every day, is it easy to earn these copper plates! What am I doing, you suspect that I have stolen something from the hall, so you will search it, and I will confess my guilt when I find out!"

After a while, Ah Chou came back to his senses and cried aggrievedly.

"Go, go, go far!"

"Forget it, what good or bad can a hard labor who picks up dung have. Let's go, go and see what those inner disciples are doing at night. ”

These young brothers of the law enforcement team all looked disgusted, pinched their noses and waved their hands, how could they search his body, this hard labor clothes may be stained with dirt, touching bad luck.

When Ah Chou saw that they were far away, he put away his crying, snorted a few times proudly, and stood up.

His cultivation realm is low, but he is not stupid.

Brother Chen'er had already said that it was a big risk to do this, and after doing it, he had to go back to the Aquila Gate immediately to hide. Therefore, before he set off at night and Su Chen to explore the Taoist temple at night, he had already prepared a dung truck to transport dung out of the city.

When he came back, he also came back with a dung truck.

In case anyone doubted his whereabouts, he said that he had gone outside the city to dump dung. Who will have nothing to do when he is full, and investigate what he did after a third-rate hard servant pushed a dung cart out of the city at night.

...

This big turmoil that shook the rivers and lakes of Wu County lasted for three days.

Three days later, the officials of Gusu County finally relaxed their search for the theft of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and no longer searched from house to house.

The city guards at the gates also gave up the blockade and checks on those who entered and exited the city, and reopened the gates to allow the people to enter and exit.

After all, there are 100,000 households in Gusu County, and the lockdown is too much to disturb the people. Every day, there is a huge long queue at the gate of the city, and it takes an hour or two to enter and exit.

This Gusu Canal is also the transportation hub of the North-South Grand Canal, where thousands of merchants gather, if it has been blocked, the inventory of water and land routes will have too great an impact on the people and commercial transportation, and the passage has to be opened.

In addition to the Gusu Yamen, the high-rollers of various gangs in Wujun County have also set up cards to arrest people on the main roads of water and land, but there is no news.

In the first three days of the city's large-scale search, no useful clues could be traced to this Jiangyang thief, and the hope became more and more slim after that.

The enthusiasm on the rivers and lakes quickly subsided.

The theft case of the Hanshan Taoist Temple is missing key intelligence. That is the Taoist priests of Hanshan, and none of them have ever seen the appearance of the Jiangyang thief.

This means that the scope of suspicion is too great and the difficulty is unimaginable.

If everyone investigates one by one, even if it is a vegetable seller on the side of the road, a porter and a pawn, it may be disguised by Jiangyang thieves.

However, under the nose of the first-class master of Qinghe Dao and the strict guard of the Taoist audience masters, in just a cup of tea, how could an ordinary thief do it?

It's not easy to catch such a top-level thief!

If you can't find this thief, it will naturally be even more difficult to find the treasure book. The treasure book itself is very small, just find a corner and hide it, who knows where to search?!

Considering these difficulties, the search efforts of the big gangs have been significantly relaxed.

...

Su Chen didn't have a place to live in the city, and during the three days of the lockdown, he had to stay in Yanyulou.

Yanyulou also knew that the officials were closed and were not allowed to enter and exit, and many businessmen and high-rollers from other places could only stay in Yanyulou temporarily.

Su Chen survived until the third day, after the blockade of Gusu County was finally lifted and the people were allowed to enter and exit at will. He immediately looked for an opportunity to return to the Miscellaneous Hall of Yaowang Villa, which was five miles away from the county seat, with the Book of Jade Slips, and no longer stepped out of the mountain gate.

When Su Chen returned to the villa, he hid the Book of Jade Slips in the depths of the dense forest in the back mountain, and no longer looked at it, and only worked in the miscellaneous courtyard every day to avoid being suspected.

Just returned to the villa for a small half moon, Su Chen was still worried in his heart, and he couldn't sleep at night.

He was worried that he had left some flaws in the Taoist temple, and was discovered by the Taoist priests of Hanshan, so he suddenly tracked down to the mountain villa and coerced the Medicine King to help him.

Or, the Taoist priests caught the ugly who sprinkled chicken blood outside the Taoist temple. However, Ah Chou left early, and should have returned to the Aquila Gate very early. There has been no news in the past half a month, and apparently no one suspects Ah Ugly.

As for Miss Anu in Yanyu Building, she seems to have noticed that something is wrong. However, she did fall asleep at the time, and there is no evidence that he ever left the boudoir.

Moreover, she didn't tell the story on the spot that she had been asleep for half an hour, but proved that she had been in the room all the time, so she shouldn't have said anything to the outside world.

Su Chen thought carefully about every detail, and he didn't leave any flaws, which was enough for the Taoist priests to insist that they did it themselves, and they couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Su Chen has been doing chores in the miscellaneous service hall for half a month, and once heard several young miscellaneous brothers chatting about the case of the theft of treasure books from the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

Their eyebrows fluttered as if they had experienced it themselves.

"This official county government, the disciples of the four major gangs of the White Dao, and the extremely vicious water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang of the underworld, after receiving the Hanshan Jianghu sticker, they all gave enough face to the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

Even the people of our Gusu County are very inconvenient because of the lockdown, but I heard that the road was closed because of the theft of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and there are not many complaints. If this matter is to be put on the other major gangs, the people will already be angry, and it is unimaginable!"

This incident also shows that the prestige of Hanshan Zhenren in the government, rivers and lakes, and even among the people is very high, which is very within the reach of people. ”

"No mistake, our Medicine King has helped the Sun Gang Master to treat diseases and save people in Wu County for fifty or sixty years, although he is also highly respected by the rivers and lakes and the people, I am afraid that he will not be able to do this. ”

"That's natural, our Sun Gang Master treats diseases and saves people, and at most hundreds of people will give favors, but after all, it is limited. Where can it be compared to the Hanshan real person preaching, believers and pilgrims are widely spread in the thirteen counties of Wu County, and they are admired by all the people. ”

Some of the young miscellaneous disciples around him thought so.

"Everyone knows what you're talking about, and it's nothing. A few days ago, I went to our Medicine King Gang's most powerful Sword Execution Hall to do business, and I saw with my own eyes that the Sword Execution Hall was self-examining and self-correcting, and all inner disciples who had reached the first-class realm had to explain in detail to the high-level what happened that night, and there must be witnesses, otherwise they would be severely interrogated. Our Medicine King Gang is also ruthless in order to track down the whereabouts of the treasure book!"

A miscellaneous senior brother couldn't help but sigh.

The miscellaneous disciples have a kinship.

But fortunately, only the Sword Holding Hall and the Alchemy Hall are self-checking, and the other three halls don't need to do this. ... It seems that the high-level leaders of the Medicine King Gang also know that the disciples of the other halls are too weak to have the strength to commit heinous crimes.

Su Chen listened to the chatter of the young handymen, and sighed without knowing whether he was surprised or delighted.

It seems that I have been worried for half a month in vain.

He didn't even check the Internal Affairs Hall and the Knife Protection Hall, let alone the Miscellaneous Service Hall where he was. The disciples of the Miscellaneous Service Hall are not qualified to accept the self-examination and self-correction of the Medicine King Gang at all.

No one would believe that the mere handyman could steal the treasure book from the masterful Hanshan Taoist Temple, and from the first-class top senior master Qinghe Dao Chief's nose.

And the miscellaneous compound of the Medicine King Gang, there are hundreds of miscellaneous disciples of all levels, who would stare at such a low-level deacon as him?!

In this way, the possibility of the high-level leaders of the Medicine King Gang even asking themselves for questioning is very small.

The miscellaneous servants were chatting excitedly, when they suddenly saw Deacon Zhou coming with contempt, and they were afraid of being trained, so they hurriedly dispersed to work separately.

The miscellaneous servants didn't really care about this matter, but just regarded the theft of the treasure book as an after-dinner conversation.

After all, the strong winds and waves on the rivers and lakes are too far away from the trivial and mediocre lives of the disciples of the miscellaneous compound.

The rivers and lakes have always been the rivers and lakes of the masters.

There are few miscellaneous servants who are lowly cultivated and have mediocre martial arts skills, and they have this qualification and this idea to get involved in big cases.

Perhaps, the disciples of the Sword Holding Hall and the Medicine Refining Hall would be more attentive, and when they walked around the rivers and lakes, they would ask if there were any thieves. Maybe you will encounter shit luck to catch the thief, find the treasure book back, and let Hanshan Zhenren owe a favor, which is a great deal.

However, for the miscellaneous disciples, when they get up every morning and open their eyes, isn't it just burying their heads in chores!

It's better to go to a neighboring county to deliver a letter and earn dozens of copper plates.

Su Chen waited patiently for another month.

At this moment, even the disciples of the Medicine King Gang's Miscellaneous Service Hall, who are "far away from the rivers and lakes", no one talked about this outdated turmoil. It can be seen that this matter has been calm on the rivers and lakes, and there has been no movement.

He finally put down his fearful heart, and laughed at himself a little, he was really careful too much, and he didn't leave any chance to leak it to the old Qinghe Dao.

On this day, Su Chen received a miscellaneous task to deliver letters to other counties for three days.

He came alone to the dense forest in the mountain behind the villa, dug out the book of jade slips and those gold ingots, and hid them closely. On the way to the mission, find a remote mountain field and study the secrets of this treasure book.
