Chapter 124: It's true to be a thief
Seeing that the drunk man suddenly made a move, the fat servant next to him was immediately startled, and just wanted to shout, but he felt his throat suddenly tighten, and then his head was hit hard by the drunk, and he lost consciousness in an instant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The drunk clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "Two brothers, I will be on duty for you tonight." ”
Of course, this "drunkard" is none other than Ye Cheng.
At this time, Qing'er turned out of the corner, smiled and stroked her palms: "Brother Ye, your martial arts are really getting better and better, it seems that Master Daoyan's few moves are not in vain." ”
Ye Cheng pointed to the two people on the ground and said, "Don't talk about it yet, let's hurry up." ”
After that, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing dragged the pair of servants to a place where no one was, took off their coats and changed them, even if Ye Cheng was such a strong figure, the clothes of the fat servants were slightly looser.
"Have you really memorized the path inside?" Ye Cheng asked.
Zhong Qing said confidently: "You can rest assured, when did Qing'er have a mistake in doing things?"
Taking advantage of the night, the two came to Qi Shengtian's mansion, of course, with their martial arts, they no longer had to enter through the main gate in this dark night, but climbed over the wall from the backyard.
Seeing that the houses inside were already darkened, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing knew that the people in the house had already rested, but occasionally the light of torches flickered in the courtyard, presumably it was the servants who guarded the courtyard patrolling back and forth.
Ye Cheng said with a smile: "This Qi member is so loud outside, and there are people standing guard outside even when he is sleeping, isn't it like an official of the imperial court?"
Zhong Qing said on the side: "It's not just like the imperial court officials, it's really more than that." ”
Just as Zhong Qing was talking, Ye Cheng made a gesture at her, Zhong Qing looked around, but saw two servants with lanterns walking from a distance, muttering something quietly as they walked.
Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing found a rockery to hide, but they heard the two of them walking by the rockery, and one of them said to the other with a long sigh: "Alas, you said that this is unlucky, I don't know where a wild girl popped up this afternoon, saying that she was selling high-quality hairpins, but the four young grandmothers all asked Cuihong to take her to withdraw money, and guess what, in a blink of an eye, the girl ran away without a trace." Where did the fourth young grandmother suffer such teasing, she couldn't get out of this anger in the afternoon, and she scolded whoever she caught, and I have been scolded three times since the afternoon. ”
The servant next to him smiled and comforted: "You have it, you don't know the temper of the young grandmothers, you don't want to scold whom, who you want to beat, who you want to beat, who makes our master spoiled, or you have the ability not to do it here, you have to admit this life if you do it here." ”
"Who the said no, I'm just panicking in my heart, don't you want to say a few words to you while no one says a word to you, don't go around preaching it to me. The complaining servant said.
The light reflecting on the rockery gradually dimmed, Zhong Qing knew that the two of them had gone far, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I made those young grandmothers very angry this afternoon." ”
Ye Cheng also smiled on the side: "These people who are rich and unkind just can't see that they have been wronged in the slightest, where is the place where they hide their money? Let's go quickly." ”
Zhong Qing had already remembered the terrain here clearly in the afternoon, and immediately went first, followed by Ye Cheng, if they met the servants on patrol, the two of them lowered their heads and walked from a distance, because the two of them were wearing clothes in the house, and there were already a lot of people in the house, some of them came to Ming'er today, and the servants had long been commonplace, even if they saw it, they thought it was a subordinate in the house, and they didn't care about it at the moment.
After a while, Zhong Qing took Ye Cheng to the place where Cuihong took the money, but saw that it was also like during the day at night, there were several servants pacing back and forth around, although the clothes were the same, but no matter from the face, figure and pace, the discerning person could see at a glance that these people were by no means ordinary servants, but all of them were people with martial arts.
The two of them secretly observed the order of these servants' movements, and slipped into the firewood room at the right time, but this time Zhong Qing's abacus was one step behind, because in the firewood room, Zhong Qing and Ye Cheng did not find mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, but only found two small boxes containing money.
"Only so little?" Ye Cheng wondered.
Zhong Qing's mind spun rapidly, and he shook his head and said in a low voice: "Impossible, this Qi Shengtian is one of the richest people in Suzhou City, and Chen Ying's relative, money must be inexhaustible, how can it be only so little." ”
Ye Cheng suddenly came to his senses and said, "I understand!"
"What do you understand?" Zhong Qing asked as she looked at Ye Cheng.
"This Qi Shengtian must be a cunning rabbit in the three caves, and put the money in different places, so that even if a thief comes to the house, at most he will find a place to put his money, so that his loss can be minimized?" Ye Cheng said in a low voice.
"I see, Brother Ye, what you said is good, I didn't expect this thief to be really cunning. "Although he is here to steal money now, Zhong Qing first called Qi Shengtian a thief.
"If you just steal this bit of money, I'm afraid you won't be able to alarm that Qi Shengtian. Ye Cheng frowned.
Zhong Qing lowered her head and pondered, her mind was spinning quickly, and she suddenly raised her head and smiled at Ye Cheng, and smiled at Ye Cheng with a nervous smile, saying in her heart that this ghost girl couldn't have thought of some ghost idea again.
As Ye Cheng expected, I saw Zhong Qing take Ye Cheng's arm and say, "I have a way, but then I have to work hard for you, Brother Ye." ”
"What do you want me to do?" Ye Cheng asked worriedly.
"You're just like this, that......" Zhong Qing leaned into Ye Cheng's ear and whispered.
So in the silence of the night, suddenly there was a loud muffled noise in the firewood room, and several servants of the guards were taken aback, and hurriedly rushed into the house. When he entered the house, he saw that two boxes containing money had been thrown to the ground, and the money was scattered all over the ground, and a young man dressed in the clothes of a man in the house was sitting leisurely on a table with Erlang's legs crossed, as if he was waiting for someone to come in to find him.
"Who are you, why are you here?" asked the servant, pointing at Ye Chengyu.
"I'm your little monkey brother, and I came here today to play with these monkey monkeys. Ye Cheng obeyed Zhong Qing's arrangement and claimed that his name was Ye Xiaohou, but there was an indescribable awkwardness when these three words came out of his mouth.
"Okay, you thief, you are really bold, and you don't ask what kind of place this is, you dare to come here to spread wild!" Several servants threw off their coats and flew towards Ye Cheng.
Sure enough, just like Zhong Qing's analysis, these servants are not dressed as idle people, all of them are equipped with martial arts, but if they are compared with Ye Cheng, they are still a little far behind.
These people are martial artists hired by Qi Shengtian, and they usually don't have much to do, but at this time, they finally saw someone invading the mansion, just to show their ability, so they immediately didn't call people quietly, but rushed up, wanting to catch Ye Cheng by themselves.
Ye Cheng saw the other party pounce, his hands were forced, his feet just hit the ground, and the table rolled up under the force of those hands, just past the head when the servants had already rushed to the front, Ye Cheng used both hands to urge Nie Guangyang and Lu Li to instill the mixed yuan true qi, and his palms just slapped on the table, only to see that the table flew towards several servants like wings.
At that moment, where could the servants be able to hold their feet, so they had to hurriedly use the retract in front of their chests, only to hear a few sounds of wood breaking, followed by a few screams, and several servants fell out one after another.
Ye Cheng took advantage of the situation to jump over everyone's heads and came to the courtyard, took out the pine oil and fire folds that had been prepared at the inn a long time ago, and lit the firewood room. There were firewood and other combustible things piled up in the firewood room, but now when it caught fire, the fire spread in an instant, and several martial artists saw the fire on the ground, and immediately didn't care about the pain, they all shouted and stood up, and rushed out, a few people continued to attack Ye Cheng, and the others rushed away, shouting while running: "On fire, on fire!"
How can I withstand such shouts in the silent night, but when I saw that the lights in the various houses in the courtyard were turned on one after another, from time to time some people rushed out, and some of them rushed to run without even putting on their clothes.
Besides, Qi Shengtian was sleeping with the four young grandmothers in his arms, the four young grandmothers were released by Zhong Qing, and they had been in a bad mood, Qi Shengtian finally coaxed him, and was trying to sleep peacefully, when he suddenly heard the noise in the firewood room behind, followed by the sound of "knock knock" slamming the door.
"What's going on, are you all crazy at night!" Qi Shengtian put on his clothes and walked out of the hall, shouting outside.
At this time, several servants hurriedly knelt down in front of them, looking panicked: "No...... Oh no, sir! The backyard is on fire, it's a firewood house!"
Qi Shengtian put the money in four different places, and the firewood room was the place where the least money was placed, so even if it was on fire, he was not very anxious, and immediately scolded: "A group of useless rabbit cubs, if it is on fire, hurry up to put out the fire, run me here to ink something!"
"It's not just the fire, sir, an assassin has come into our yard!
Qi Shengtian's body was crooked, and he almost sat on the ground. He was not afraid of the fire, but when he heard that there was an assassin, he couldn't help but change his face in fright, and quickly turned back to the room, took the sword from the wall, and shouted to the fourth young grandmother who was still dressing slowly on the bed: "You girl is still so grinding!
The fourth young grandmother was suddenly startled, almost fell off the bed, and hurriedly climbed off the bed, complaining while getting out of bed: "I told you that I went to the temple to worship a few days ago, but you just didn't listen, you see how strange things are now!"
Where could Qi Shengtian pay attention to him, turned around and walked to the door with his sword and instructed the servant: "Hurry up and close the door for me, and the whole courtyard will arrest me at this moment." Also, put out the fire for me!"
The two servants beside him, Nuo Nuo, had just retreated, and another servant came running from outside: "The old man is not good! The kitchen is also on fire!"
When Qi Shengtian heard this, he understood the danger of the situation more and more, and immediately held the sword in his hand, and the servants hurriedly stood up and flashed aside, thinking that he was going to check it in person, but he heard a muffled sound at the door, and then looked up, and found that Qi Shengtian had retreated to the room and returned the door with him.
Qi Shengtian's heart was pounding at this time, although he was thinking about his precious gold and silver, but he was more worried about his life, although he had a sword, but he didn't know any martial arts at all, he usually pretended to be okay, but now when he saw that there was really an assassin, he immediately became timid.
"What's the matter? The firewood room is on fire, what about our money?" the fourth young grandmother just happened to come over at this moment and asked.
"Money, money, money, when are you still thinking about money, it's good if our lives can be saved!" Qi Shengtian said angrily with his sword still on the bed.
"The money is gone, what's the point of living?" Not to be outdone, the fourth young grandmother also shouted loudly.
"You, you don't know what is going on!If your life is gone, what's the use of asking for money!" Qi Shengtian said with a glare.
At this time, the fourth young grandmother seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned angry and smiled: "Fortunately, this is only one of the three places where our family saves money, it seems that this thief only knows that there is money in the firewood room, and he doesn't know that there are more miles in those two places!"
This sentence reminded Qi Shengtian, and he immediately worried: "What you said is extremely true, I have to quickly inform the servants to go to the left study to have a look!"
As the saying goes, the partition wall has ears, and when Qi Shengtian was talking to the fourth young grandmother, someone by the window outside the room had already heard it clearly, it was Zhong Qing. It turned out that Zhong Qing deliberately asked Ye Cheng to make a big deal in order to alarm the whole mansion, so as to force Qi Shengtian to worry and be afraid, and tell him where the other money was hidden.
At that moment, Zhong Qing was secretly happy in his heart: "What a smart old man Qi, this is called not self-recruitment." After thinking about it, Zhong Qing watched in the dark and waited for Qi Shengtian to order a servant, and immediately waited for him to close the door again, jumped up, and tiptoed behind the servant.
After the servant came to the left study with the key three times and two times, Zhong Qing suddenly threw a punch from behind, hitting the back of the man's head and immediately fainting to the ground. Zhong Qing took the key from the servant and opened the door to the back study.
But seeing that in this huge study, there were all kinds of books displayed on the shelves, Zhong Qing was regretting that he was still too anxious, and did not wait for the servant to take out the money before taking action, but now he entered the study, but where to find the place where Qi Shengtian hid the treasures, gold and silver?
Zhong Qing was suspicious in his heart: "This Qi Shengtian is a villain who fights with people, how can he read so many books?"
Thinking in his heart, Zhong Qing took out a copy from the bookshelf, this one didn't matter, a golden light appeared behind the book, which made Zhong Qing couldn't help but be surprised.
