Ye Qingzhou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at: "Why are you all looking at me like that? I am good at Qinggong and body movement, but I am not a bandit. Do you suspect that I embezzled it?"
He seemed a little unhappy.
Wen Yan shook his head and said, "No, I'm asking if you've seen... those sealed boxes?"
Ye Qingzhou shook his head like a rattle: "I haven't seen it."
"This is strange..." Liu Yueya fiddled with the delicate mechanism in her hand, tilting her head, "Brother, could it be..."
Wen Yan was the brains of the entire team, and he immediately figured out the key to the situation: "They lied."
“But the government is involved…”
Wen Yan shook his head: "They deliberately hid the money and then framed us!"
"Do they know that we can do this? That's impossible?" Xiao Changfeng asked doubtfully.
Wen Yan narrowed his eyes. "We underestimated them... This time, our opponent is formidable." He looked at his sworn brothers. "But he won't be our match."
The boys' eyes gradually lit up.
"Um!"
But after all the nice words, they still had to face the reality, because Lin Wanqing showed her face that night, and her portrait was soon posted everywhere. The local officials who originally wanted to make a fortune now hated these thieves, and all the local monks also went out to search for suspicious people in the city.
The young men also realized that they were like yellow mud falling into their crotches, which was either shit or shit.
There are only two options for them now. One is to surrender and explain clearly.
But this decision was obviously foolish. They were now acknowledging that the government and the Wanbao Pavilion were colluding. Even if there wasn't any collusion, what would they say later? Would they say they only stole 1,000 taels of silver? Wouldn't that still be stealing? What would happen to the reputations of the Nine Sons of Qingyun?
So everyone rejected this proposal, and the only option was to escape.
But the thought of escaping again made everyone feel as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit. They had agreed to roam the world and do justice, but why did it feel like they were either running for their lives or on their way to escape?
After pondering for a long time, Wen Yan made up his mind: "Perhaps there is a third way."
Everyone looked at him. Feeling the trusting gazes of his companions, Wen Yan slowly stated the path he had planned: "One more time."
"Um?"
"They must have been prepared beforehand, which is why they tricked us. I guess... it was because of your actions, Second Sister, that aroused their vigilance."
Lin Wanqing's face didn't look good.
"But they definitely didn't expect us to come back. This means they're definitely off guard this time! All we have to do is find the money and the hallucinogens they've hidden there, expose their conspiracy on the spot, and our suspicion will be cleared."
"You are worthy of being the big brother!" Everyone couldn't help but applaud after hearing his words.
Wen Yan smiled. At this moment, he was waving a feather fan in his mind, making plans for the future.
But what they didn't expect was that this operation was still very smooth and there was no gain. There was nothing in the cloth shop, and even the treasury that Ye Qingzhou found last time was empty.
But in front of the warehouse nearby, they saw a guy.
The two sides stared at each other, and the guy suddenly grinned, and then threw the torch in his hand to the warehouse beside him in everyone's surprised eyes.
Everyone was confused. Were they friendly forces? Or undercover agents?
The guy took a deep breath and said, "Thieves are setting fire!!!!!!"
