The constables: "..."
You look at me, I look at you.
How can adults make such jokes in broad daylight?
"Damn it, what are you looking at? Hurry up and go!" Zhu Da kicked out, but he lost his balance and fell flat on his back.
"My lord, my lord, are you alright?"
The constables were dumbfounded and rushed over to pull Zhu Da away, but they bumped into each other, and the entrance instantly became a mess.
Loxi stood in the doorway with her arms crossed, just watching them.
After a while, the chaos subsided, and Zhu Da recovered. He pushed the yamen runner and said, "Go to the storeroom quickly."
Although the constables were somewhat confused, they still obediently rushed in.
But when they saw the warehouse, which was cleaner than their faces, they were stunned.
What? Where did they all go?
That's impossible! It was just packed full!
Moreover, they were always guarding outside; apart from the adults, no one else was ever seen going in or out.
"What should we do?" A constable was sweating profusely.
"How should I know?" He was also confused.
Finally, the last few people had no choice but to come out tremblingly: "Sir, we didn't see anything."
"Useless idiots! Useless trash! What good are you?" Zhu Dagang stood outside for a while, then his spirits returned, and his voice was incredibly loud: "If you don't find my treasure, you'll be sorry."
All the yamen runners: "..."
"My lord, what if our granary is also..." the steward, who rushed over after hearing the commotion, guessed.
Zhu Da's heart skipped a beat. He forgot all about cursing and rushed toward the granary.
Luo Xi smiled and followed.
Food delivered to one's doorstep is free food, especially food from corrupt officials.
"Your Excellency!" The yamen runners guarding outside the granary quickly bowed to the approaching magistrate.
"I'm asking you, has anyone been here today?" Zhu Da grabbed the head constable and asked fiercely.
The constable was quite frightened by his gloomy expression: "No, no, sir, has something happened?"
Zhu Da had no time to explain. He shoved the constable aside, strode to the door, and ordered, "Open the door for me!"
"...Yes, sir."
However, just as the bailiff took out the key, Zhu Da said, "Wait a minute."
God bless, God bless, please don't disappear, please don't disappear.
He silently repeated it three times in his mind.
What he didn't know was that this moment of silent contemplation gave Rosie time to harvest the grain.
In the warehouse separated by a door, bags of grain slowly disappeared, leaving nothing behind in the end.
Loxi's forehead was also covered in fine beads of sweat. Sure enough, retrieving objects from a distance required more of her superpower, but it was also related to the fact that she had collected too many things today.
After Luo Xi finished collecting, she stopped waiting to see Juda break down and instead took advantage of everyone being there to run to other empty rooms to collect furniture and decorations.
Only after they had almost finished collecting the supplies did they hear Zhu Da's mournful howls from the air, as if his parents had died.
"My food and fodder..."
"Oh, right, since you're here, you should leave something behind." Before leaving, Luo Xi casually wrote a few words and placed them on the only table in the room.
By the time Zhu Da realized what was happening, his house, where no one had been, was swarming with locusts.
"Who, who did this?"
He is now on the verge of a breakdown.
"Sir, there's a note here." At this moment, the butler walked over tremblingly with a piece of paper.
"Give it to me!" Zhu Da snatched it away, stared at it intently, and exclaimed, "What on earth is this?"
It looks like a character, but it's not quite a character either; it's missing parts.
The butler reached out his hand: "Sir, shall I take a look for you?"
"...Dream of the Red Chamber...Nine...Strings, I...was...there!"
He often deals with all sorts of people and has seen all kinds of strange handwriting, so he managed to barely recognize these few characters that were missing parts.
"Good, good indeed, the Nine Strings of the Red Chamber." Zhu Da slammed his hand on the table, his face turning purple with anger: "I haven't even settled the score with her for the massacre of the Nine Bend Village, and she's already getting more and more arrogant."
He narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, "Steward, issue an arrest warrant immediately. Issue a warrant for the arrest of Jiu Xuan, the master of the Red Mansion, regardless of whether he lives or dies."
The steward glanced cautiously at Zhu Da, opened his mouth as if to say something, but finally replied, "Yes, sir."
After Luo Xi finished eating at a restaurant, and then found a few more relatively conspicuous places to leave their team's unique code, when they came to the city gate again to leave, they saw from afar that the queue for leaving the city was just as long as the queue for entering the city.
She was surprised for a moment, then laughed: This Zhu Da is pretty quick.
Sure enough, several people nearby sighed and groaned.
"What's going on? Will they charge me to leave the city? What am I going to do? I'm out of money."
"Don't worry, this time it's not about taking money." An insider glanced around cautiously and lowered his voice: "I heard that the county magistrate's house was burgled, and the soldiers are searching the whole county for him."
"..."
"Hehe~" Someone couldn't help but cover their mouth and laugh, I don't know who it was.
The others also smiled, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.
"Hey, this thief is really something, daring to steal even from the government offices. I wonder how much the magistrate has lost this time?" The voice was full of the urge to watch the drama unfold.
"I heard it's quite large; the warehouses have all been emptied." The man looked around, not seeing any government officials, and laughed: "The county magistrate was so angry he fainted. He'll probably wake up with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, you know what I mean?"
