Volume 1 Qinghong Chapter 40 Under the East Fence
Lu Sanchuan watched a team of officials leave, although he was worried about the situation in the courtyard, and saw that Su Qing was still lying on the roof, so he didn't act rashly.
Sure enough, the official left for a while, and several more people came out of the dark shadows in all directions, some rushed into the house from the door of the house, and some directly entered through the wall.
The sound of rustling is endless.
Those people also came for money, and they ran into the house and searched for a while. Someone found a lot of valuable things, but he was still not satisfied, held them in his hands, and rushed into another room.
Another person saw that he was full of possessions, and suddenly became murderous, and killed the man with a knife, and the man screamed miserably, and fell to the ground with his possessions in his arms. The rest of the people heard the noise and rushed to it.
Seeing this opportunity, Su Qing hurriedly jumped lightly and fell straight into the hospital.
Lu Sanchuan also fell into the courtyard, followed Su Qing, and entered a room.
It was a bedroom, and the beds, tables, tables, chairs, screens, etc. had been emptied, leaving only an empty room.
Su Qing stood at the door and looked around, then walked towards the inner room.
Although Jinjiang Qijiao is outside all the year round, the bedroom is spotless, and someone wants to come into the house every day to clean it. And now, Jinjiang Qijiao is dead, and those servants must have taken the most valuable property and abandoned the house and ran away.
Su Qing didn't say a word, cautiously took broken steps, and listened to the movement under his feet with both ears. She walked around the back room until she reached the edge of the north wall, and there was a soft "clucking" sound under her feet, indicating that there was a gap between the floor tiles.
She squatted down, tapped the floor tiles with her slender fingers, and sure enough, there were two muffled "knocks". She reached out with two fingers, grabbed the floor tiles, and lifted them open. There is a wooden chest hidden under the floor tiles.
Su Qing took out the box and opened it, only to see the golden light shining in the faint moonlight.
Lu Sanchuan didn't care about gold and silver, and when he saw Su Qing looking at the gold bars and smiling stupidly, he walked out of the house alone, twisted around a thousand times, and entered the study.
The study was also a mess, everything that could be removed had been removed, and books were piled up on the floor.
Lu Sanchuan sighed: The most useful is a book, and the most useless is also a book.
He walked cautiously among the piles of books, tiptoeing, trying not to step on the books.
He picked up a book and flipped through it, only to get a hand of dust.
Lu Sanchuan smiled bitterly, wiped off the dust on the cover, and by the moonlight, he saw that the cover read "Sitting and Forgetting", which is a Taoist classic.
He put "On Sitting and Forgetting" lightly on the ground, explored left and right with his eyes, and suddenly saw a wide and thin book, spread out and buckled upside down on the ground.
He went to pick it up, held it in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but be taken aback. That book was the "Painting Sword Record" sent by Yuan Qiming when he was twelve years old, but now it appears in the study of this Jinjiang Qijiao House.
In this way, it is really the Jinjiang Qijiao night attack on the Lu house.
He stared at the "Painted Sword Record" for a long time in a daze, and suddenly heard Su Qing shout, "The officers and soldiers are here again, go quickly!"
He didn't have time to think about it, so he took the "Painted Sword Record" into his arms and followed Su Qing out of the wall.
After a while, Guo heard a loud noise.
The pedestrians who entered the house at night, except for the people in the rivers and lakes, were thieves and thieves, so they naturally did not want to provoke the government, so they fled in all directions. The servants also had no intention of chasing the thief, so they each ran into the house and continued to search.
Lu Sanchuan crouched on the roof, glanced at it, saw Su Qing holding the wooden box, and asked casually, "How many silver taels are in this box?"
Su Qing said: "About more than a thousand taels." ”
Lu Sanchuan couldn't help but be taken aback, "This Jinjiang Qijiao is really rich! One thousand taels of gold is enough for a small town's civilians to spend for a lifetime!"
Su Qing looked at him with righteous indignation, and suddenly had a good feeling, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned upward.
Lu Sanchuan just stared at the wooden box carefully, and did not see Su Qing's expression, and after a while, he suddenly had an idea, opened the wooden box, took out five gold bars, and threw them away, and the five gold bars fell into the courtyard of the house. "Let's go!"
Su Qingquan did not object, held the wooden box, and followed Lu Sanchuan to the roof.
Every time Lu Sanchuan passed by a house, he took out a gold bar from the wooden box and threw it in front of the door or in the courtyard.
The two ran for most of the hour, and the wooden box finally bottomed out, and there were only two gold bars left.
Lu Sanchuan handed over the two gold bars to Su Qing, took the wooden box and threw them in an inconspicuous corner, and then returned to the inn.
When the child had passed, the bamboo pole of the man on the street struck three times.
Lu Sanchuan and Su Qing were already exhausted, so they slept separately until dawn.
After breakfast at the inn, the two went up to the street, but when they saw that the pedestrians on the street were all happy, and the neighbors met, they hurriedly stepped forward, shushh
Lu Sanchuan smiled slightly, took the reins, and said to Su Qing: "Miss Su, take me to find Zhang Ge." ”
Two fast horses flew their hooves until the outskirts of Shiyan.
Although Zhang Ge has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, living in seclusion in the wilderness, after all, he was one of the "five masters", the name is very loud, people often look for him, for this reason, he has moved no less than three times, and finally a little tired, so in the southwest direction of Shiyan, built a small house, named "East Fence Villa", which means that Tao Yuanming resigned and retired, leisurely picking chrysanthemums under the east fence.
Most of the people in the rivers and lakes, although they got Zhang Ge's message, came to ask for a meeting, and when they saw the name of the villa, they had to sigh. Occasionally, a paranoid person still raised his hand to knock on the door, and when he saw the child open the door to greet him, he finally lost his confidence and shook his head and left.
Lu Sanchuan stood outside the gate, looked up at the plaque hanging high, and whispered the words "Dongli Villa", and immediately understood Zhang Ge's heart of pushing customers. But now, only by finding the person who got the knife score can Lu Benchi's body be recovered.
He walked up the stone steps and knocked lightly on the wooden door.
For some reason, when he knocked on the door, his heart beat so violently, as if there was everything behind the door that he wanted to know but didn't dare to know.
After a while, no one answered.
He knocked on the door again, using a few internal forces to make the knock louder and louder.
After a long time, when he was about to knock for the third time, the door finally moved, and after a while, the door slowly opened, and a four-foot child appeared in the doorway.
The child had big eyes and thin lips, and two pigtails, and looked very cute.
Lu Sanchuan clasped his hands into fists and saluted the child, and said respectfully: "I have come all the way to see Senior Zhang, and please take the trouble to introduce me." ”
The boy was obviously accustomed to such a scene, and he also bowed to him, and said respectfully: "The owner of the village went to Fujian to visit a friend a few days ago, and he did not give an account of the return date, so I am really sorry that your Excellency ran away in vain." ”
Lu Sanchuan knew that this was an eviction order as soon as he heard it, but since the child said so, he couldn't say that he would go into the house and wait. He forced out a laugh, thanked the child, and said "excuse me."
(Today, my friend got married, I was the best man, I went out at six o'clock in the morning, and I didn't return until eight o'clock in the evening, and I sorted out the 1,000 words that I coded yesterday, and I coded another 1,000 words, and my head almost hit the keyboard.) I'm so sleepy, I'm sorry, good night. )
