Chi Xingyue pulled out a real weapon from under his butt, which even had a silencer installed on it.
Ling Jiheng's eyes flashed as he touched his old friend who was so familiar to his soul. He aimed and shot in one go.
The man never imagined that the disaster he had avoided because of diarrhea would happen again because of this elusive weapon.
Who would have thought that he could hit the target even from such a long distance, and there was no sound, leaving him unable to hide even if he wanted to.
I could only close my eyes unwillingly.
Ling Jiheng carefully observed his surroundings and made sure that no one had escaped before dragging the man's body back without any fear or guilt.
Then it was thrown into the carriage, covered with a curtain, and collected into the space by Chi Xingyue.
Wait until you reach a secluded place before throwing it down to avoid being traced and traced back to them.
Those who were knocked unconscious by Ling Jiheng were also collected into the space in the same way and thrown into the detention room on the first floor of the police station.
Chi Xingyue even discovered that she could control their mental state. For example, now, if she didn't let them wake up, these bandits would not wake up.
Ling Jiheng looked at the empty carriage, feeling incredibly sour. He hadn't even been to the Immortal Realm, and what a bargain these idiots had!
He and Chi Xingyue changed their appearances, one became a middle-aged man and the other became a young girl.
He found a secluded place to store the carriage and replaced it with an extremely ordinary ox cart used for escaping famine.
He staggered to the north gate, paid six cents for the city entrance fee, found an inn on the east side to stay in, and then asked in a roundabout way about the situation in the Xu Mansion.
"Speaking of Master Xu, he's quite the hero. See? Half of the restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses in our city are owned by him.
Even though their business isn't very legitimate, they're actually good people. They even gave alms to refugees from the south a while ago!"
Ling Jiheng echoed, "I also heard about Master Xu's deeds in the north. I admire him a lot, so I came here specially to visit him."
The waiter waved his hand after hearing this and said, "Then you've made a wasted trip. Master Xu doesn't see guests easily. There were young ladies who offered themselves to him before, but Master Xu always kicked them out."
After saying that, the look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Jiheng was strange, as he felt that he was another man who wanted to rely on his daughter to get close to Master Xu.
He didn't even consider her status or his own. The young lady wasn't very pretty. If he were Master Xu, he would definitely look down on her.
Ling Jiheng didn't discuss this topic any further. He ordered two bowls of vegetarian noodles, ate them with Chi Xingyue, and then went back to the house to rest.
He climbed out of the window in the middle of the night without disturbing anyone. He first walked around the gate of Xu's house to confirm that everything was normal, and then quickly went to the Dong family's old house to look for any suspicious places.
Perhaps because he thought his own thugs could accomplish the task, Master Xu didn't send anyone to dig for treasure tonight. This was a great advantage for Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng.
The two of them followed each other to the Mingyue Boat. Ling Jiheng used his knowledge to calculate and finally found the entrance. He followed a corridor and walked to the bottom of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
I don’t know how these ancient craftsmen managed to build a basement at the bottom of the lake and make it waterproof so well.
Chi Xingyue looked at the pile of wooden boxes in front of him, feeling a little excited. He lifted the lid of one of them with a knife, and saw small gold ingots neatly stacked inside.
Change it to another one, also a box of small ingots, and it’s gold.
Chi Xingyue understood that this was the Dong family treasure that Master Xu had been planning for decades and wanted to obtain. It was hidden very secretly.
With a wave of his hand, he put all the boxes into the space and sorted them out when he had time.
Ling Jiheng erased all traces of the two of them, left the corridor, and re-covered the entrance. After ensuring that no one could see them, he left with Chi Xingyue.
The two went to other places in the house to check, but found nothing and had to return disappointed.
Chi Xingyue didn't get excited until he returned to his room in the inn.
No matter how you look at it, she became rich overnight. As the saying goes, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. She earned hundreds of boxes for nothing!
Lying on the bed and closing his eyes for a nap, Chi Xingyue sank his consciousness into the space and jumped around to look at the items in the box.
In addition to dozens of boxes of gold and silver ingots, there are also pearls, jade, agate, coral, amber and other items.
There are also cloth and fur, but because they are too old, they are weathered and moth-eaten.
The porcelain and other items were well preserved, but the calligraphy and paintings were the worst hit. The thin paper looked as if it would break if poked.
Chi Xingyue opened one of the books and read it. From the records on it, he knew that this batch of treasures actually belonged to the previous dynasty.
No wonder the Dong family didn’t know. I just don’t know where Xu Daquan got the news!
As for why they didn't raid Xu's residence overnight? Well, their purpose was too obvious. One look and you'd know who did it.
Although the two were not afraid, they did not want to provoke the mad dog. Xu Daquan had obviously some tricks up his sleeve to make his business so big.
It's better to avoid the attack for the time being and strike when he is off guard.
***
At the Xu Mansion, Xu Daquan was lying on the bed, feeling uneasy no matter how he thought about it.
He called the housekeeper: "Are Xu Guang and the others not back yet?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "No, how about I send someone to look for it?"
Xu Daquan waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to leave. He thought that maybe he was dealing with the scene and didn't come back in time.
He lay down again, but could not fall asleep. Xu Daquan called the housekeeper again and asked him to find out the identity of the person who bought the Dong family's old house.
The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and went out.
I went to the broker's house that night. The broker rolled his eyes and said, "Oh my! How would I know who he is? I only know his last name is 'Lin', he's from the south, and he knows the prefect!"
The housekeeper was dumbfounded, wondering what to do. Should he ask the prefect? Wouldn't that expose their plan?
The housekeeper tried all kinds of methods to help but nothing happened. He went to the dentist in the middle of the night to ask about the matter, which was almost like confessing himself.
Or maybe he was too confident, knowing that the Xu family was powerful, so even if the broker knew something, he would not dare to tell anyone.
The housekeeper left and returned to Xu's house to ask his master for advice.
The brothel owner felt his neck and felt a chill. After a moment's hesitation, he returned to his house, packed up his belongings, and headed back to his hometown for shelter.
The next day, Chi Xingyue woke up from her sleep, packed up briefly with Ling Jiheng, and checked out.
The two of them strolled around the city, shopping, and before they knew it, they had reached the south of the city.
Chi Xingyue smelled the aroma of wontons floating in the air, lifted the curtain, and motioned Ling Jiheng to go buy some.
Ling Jiheng nodded, took the large porcelain bowl handed to him by Chi Xingyue, and made two bowls of wontons. From time to time, he glanced at the new house of the Dong family next door.
Seeing someone coming out, Ling Jiheng led Niu away calmly.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he hid in a small alley to change his appearance, then found a beggar and asked him to help deliver a letter to the Dong family in exchange for two candies.
The letter contained only one sentence: "Braised bird, fried monkey brain, when will it be ready? Is there enough for two people?"
