Chapter 551 Finding Evidence
"How do I get in?" Li Rongsen asked her.
"Go in by yourself, go in quietly, and find the girl who came into the city with us. We can't leave her behind. What if she gets killed by someone?" An Yan is most concerned about her at the moment.
"Just now, someone around Master said that she had been sent out of the city."
"This is a lie. I put something on her. If her life is in danger, it will be transmitted to me. And I am sure she has not left the city." An Yan said firmly.
"So what should we do now?"
"We'll stay here today. I must catch him in the act. I can't delay it for even a day longer, lest he harm another person." An Yan said.
Li Rongsen naturally wanted to accompany her and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Why is he looking for a pretty young girl? It's either for sex or for something else. We just walked around the city and didn't see a single pretty young maid. There were only old women. This is very suspicious." An Yan felt that something was definitely wrong.
Li Rongsen listened quietly and thought in his mind, trying to recall if there was anything suspicious.
"This person is so cunning that he hides so well." An Yan sneered, his face a little cold.
"What does it mean to hide it so well?" Li Rongsen was an outsider, so he was not clear about the history of Xicheng.
An Yan said, "I won't say anything for now. I also hope that I am mistaken and don't want to wrongly accuse him. Once we really find evidence, we will know the truth."
Li Rongsen nodded, but did not force her to say it immediately.
At this time, two carriages full of straw were seen coming, with one man pulling one carriage, intending to enter the city. The guards guarding the city gate did not ask them any questions and just let them pass, which was puzzling.
"Why do we need so much straw? The city won't need these things, right?" Li Rongsen was a little confused.
"If you want to know, go and take a look." An Yan said to him with a smile, and then said, "There are only two of us, it's easy to deal with. We are just taking a look, not stealing anything."
Li Rongsen looked up at the city wall. Although it was high, it could not hinder the passage of him and An Yan.
An Yan jumped and entered the city, and Li Rongsen followed her in, and saw the two carriages slowly driving in.
"I'll go deal with them." Li Rongsen said.
"No need, we can just walk over there." An Yan said as she walked over there. She had just looked around and there was no one else around, so she thought those two people would be easy to deal with.
The two people pulling the carriage were very surprised. They were attracted by Li Rongsen's appearance and instinctively felt that something was wrong. Just as they were about to ask something, they were already confused by the energy that An Yan cast over them and stood there without losing their minds.
"Look at what these are." An Yan said as she turned over the straw and found that there seemed to be something hidden inside.
Li Rongsen had already pulled away the straw, revealing some boxes. He opened them and saw that they were filled with gold. He said to An Yan, "Look, these are all gold."
"Where did all this gold come from?" An Yan frowned and asked Li Rongsen, "You just checked the accounts. Do they match?"
"Of course it doesn't match. Recently, it's all been West City that has been filling this place with gold. How could so much gold appear out of thin air?" Li Rongsen said.
An Yan thought about it carefully and said, "This is a good cover-up. I want to know where they are going to take the gold."
"Wake them up and we'll follow them," said Li Rongsen.
"See if it's sent to Master Qian. It must be for him. Otherwise, who else could it be given to?" An Yan said.
Li Rongsen thought so too.
An Yan signaled Li Rongsen to leave with her, and the two of them hid in the corner together. She then looked towards the coachman to dispel their lost energy, and they came back to their senses.
"I seem to have blacked out just now." said one of them.
"Hurry up, you can go back and rest after you get the things." Another person urged, but he didn't take it seriously, although he could feel the pain in his head.
The two men continued to pull the carriage forward and stopped at a yard, which was Master Qian's yard. Several people came out and started moving boxes into a hole in the ground. It took them a while to finish.
"What kind of place is that? We didn't even notice it just now." Li Rongsen frowned. He was sitting on an old locust tree at the moment, and An Yan was sitting beside him.
After finishing their work, the servants covered up the entrance to the cave.
"It seems that he stole it, otherwise why would he hide it like this?" An Yan said.
Li Rongsen also thought so.
Then, Master Qian and the man who had been following him came out of the room. Together, they rewarded the servants and ordered them to leave.
Master Qian said, "How could they have guessed that I had such a trick? Even if they looked for me, they wouldn't be able to find me."
"I don't quite understand. If you have gold, you should spend it. Why hide it? Isn't that a waste?"
"I'm different from you. You like to spend, but I like to hide. I just like the feeling of accumulating more and more gold, and the more I hide, the more I have." Master Qian laughed, looking very proud, and asked the people around him, "How much have we collected recently?"
“It’s almost all collected.”
"You're so poor! I thought I could live a carefree life here, but you turned out to be so poor. This is totally unacceptable. You can't even fill the hole below." Master Qian sneered in dissatisfaction.
"There will be a way. Master, please go and enjoy that woman first. Money and other things are convenient, but this woman is a bit troublesome."
"Is she compatible with me?" asked Master Qian. He had been with those useless women recently and was almost fed up with them. He always felt that they smelled bad.
"It's more than just a perfect match. It was born specifically for Master. I believe that Master's martial arts attainments today can reach a higher level."
When Master Qian heard this, he burst into laughter. Then he looked up and seemed to see something. He pointed at the old locust tree and asked, "Look, are there two people on the tree?"
The man also looked up at the tree and said, "There's no one there. Master, I'm afraid you must have seen it wrong."
Master Qian took another look and found that it was indeed gone, but he seemed to have seen Li Rongsen and the follower beside him, and then he felt that he was being too suspicious.
If it was really Li Rongsen, he would have come down to catch me long ago. Why would he leave? Thinking of this, I felt relieved.
An Yan and Li Rongsen hadn't actually left. They were still sitting in the tree. It was just that An Yan had used a trick to prevent Master Qian from seeing them. She said, "I'm going to catch him and punish him today."
"It's really abominable. It's a waste that the old man still trusted him so much, but he did such a wicked thing."
"You can know a person's face but not his heart. Some people can hide their true feelings for a lifetime." An Yan has seen a lot and doesn't agree with it.
It was already noon and I felt a little hot.
Master Qian went to his own house. He seemed very happy. It was no wonder. He had just received several boxes of gold and was now going to see a beautiful woman. How could he not be happy?
Chunmei was quite frightened. She had just been bathed by several maids and changed into new clothes. These clothes looked very much like sacrificial clothes and did not look like clothes for living people at all. She could not help but have some wild thoughts.
Suddenly, she heard the door being pushed open, and hurriedly looked over there. It was Master Qian who came in and closed the door again.
