Under the scorching sun, the carriage was moving slowly.
The Master of the Menfu had a tired look on his face, but Qin Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.
It was much quieter than before going to the official's house.
This time the carriage stopped quickly, and it was unexpected that the second stolen home was so close to the official's home.
Several people got out of the carriage quickly, but this time it was still a magnificent mansion.
Seeing the appearance of the official's house just now, Qin Zheng was not so surprised this time.
It's just that the outer wall is still very high this time, the outer wall over two meters high is all painted with red paint, and the whole courtyard is very large.
Luo Fei knocked on the door directly, and the door was pushed open in a short while. It was a boy who looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
Seeing Master Menfu and Qin Zheng glanced at each other, he stepped forward and asked.
"Are you here to investigate the lost treasure at home?"
The child's voice was green, and then Qin Zheng and the others nodded, and the child continued.
"Then come in with me."
After the child finished speaking, he led a few people towards the door. There were still many houses, but this time there were a lot of decorative objects.
Qin Zheng took a look, and there were several birdcages hanging on the stone pillar on the left.
And there are many carved parts on the table on the outer wall on the right.
What surprised Qin Zheng the most. In the middle of the main courtyard, there is actually a big lotus pond.
"Old man, who is this family? You are not even greeted by your majestic officials when they enter the door."
Qin Zheng personally pushed the official, and from the moment he entered the door, he knew that this person was not a simple person.
I saw the official was walking hurriedly, his face was obviously more nervous than before, I don't know if it was because of the heat or fright. Many drops of water burst out on his forehead, and the official then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then he whispered to Qin Zheng.
"This man is the most wealthy businessman in the city gate. All the teahouses you see, as well as many inns and theaters, are all opened by this man."
The voice of the adults in the government is very low, for fear that the children leading the way will hear it.
Qin Zheng suddenly understood.
On the other hand, the lord of the official government was about to reach the door, and he did not forget to whisper to Qin Zheng.
"Don't annoy anyone for a while."
Qin Zheng just nodded in agreement. But I saw that the master of the Menfu had already run into the house.
Qin Zheng and Luo Fei peeped at each other, and finally turned and walked into the door together.
As soon as he entered the door, Qin Zheng looked around, but the rosewood chair was empty, and he couldn't even see a person.
"Child, where is your master?"
Qin Zheng asked the child who was leading the way, and then sat down on the chair.
"Our master is still resting, you wait here. Our master has rested, and he will come to see you naturally."
The child chirped and said, then turned around, and was stopped by Qin Zheng just as he was about to retreat.
"Then how long can your master rest? Do you want us to wait here all the time?"
Qin Zheng was a little angry.
The adults of the Menfu suddenly stood up at this moment, don't worry, and waved to the child.
"You go out, we will wait here."
After the Master of the Menfu finished speaking, he saw the child walking out.
The master of the Menfu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and said to Qin Zheng.
"I told you not to cause trouble, and wait here for a while."
The Master of the Menfu said, Qin Zheng had no choice but to sit on the chair and wait.
It's just that it took a long time to wait, a full two sticks of incense time passed.
Only then did everyone see a figure walking towards the door.
I saw that person was wearing a purple dress, and there was a cloud crane embroidered on my dress, and the eyes of the silver crane were unique with pearls.
Looking up, you can see that the face is round, with thick eyebrows, and a very big nose. Does Qin Zheng think this is an inappropriate appearance of wealth
No wonder this person became a rich man, at least half of it was because of his looks.
Qin Zheng was still guessing on his own, but he saw the old man sitting directly on the main seat.
Then the eyes glanced down, looking at the crowd.
"Why did Master Menfu come here today?"
As the old man spoke, he stretched out his hand and kept knocking on the wooden chair. Qin Zheng saw that the middle finger and ten fingers of the man were wearing big rings.
"Today we came here to investigate the disappearance of your family's treasure, and to catch the Jiangyang thief."
I saw that the Master of the Menfu was a little nervous, and he was smiling when he spoke, with a flattering look on his face.
"Oh? Are you sure you can find Jiangyang Bandit?"
Seeing the rich businessman's eyes flashing suddenly, the master of the door turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng nodded confidently.
"Okay, very good, since you are so confident, I order you to find my treasure chest for me."
I saw the rich businessman sitting on a chair and dancing.
"We are indeed here to investigate this matter today. Dare I ask the old man what item you lost."
Qin Zheng kept in mind what the Master of the Menfu said, and he paid extra attention when talking to wealthy businessmen.
"What else can we lose in our house, of course it is money. What I lost is a treasure chest. There are a lot of treasures, gold and silver in this treasure chest. It is very important to me. You must find it for me."
The rich merchant said, and ordered Qin Zheng to come again.
According to Qin Zheng's original personality, he would have confronted the wealthy businessman a long time ago, but now he also knows that finding the Jiangyang thief is the business, so he can only endure it.
Qin Zheng continued to nod, as if he remembered it.
"Master, tell me when did you lose the treasure chest?"
Qin Zheng continued to ask.
And the wealthy businessman on the other side thought for a while and said.
"I remember it was a rainy night. The strange thing is that everyone in our house slept soundly that night, even the guard servants fell asleep, and disappeared early the next morning."
The rich businessman said in recollection. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the room next to him.
"It was lost in which room."
After the rich businessman finished speaking, Qin Zheng stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the house had only one window, and the rest were blocked by stone walls.
It's not easy to get out with the treasure chest.
Qin Zheng thought about it, and then he seemed to remember something.
"You said it was a rainy night, did you leave any footsteps nearby?"
After hearing this, the rich merchant shook his head.
Qin Zheng felt more and more strange that in fact, there were no footprints in the rainy night, and he could take everything away from a window.
Qin Zheng felt more and more that this person was not an ordinary person.
Qin Zheng was thinking, and the rich businessman spoke up, and slapped the table with his palm, only to see the dense pimples on the forehead of Mr. Menfu.
The wealthy businessman said to Qin Zheng and the others.
"You must find that Jiangyang thief, no matter what the price is, you must find me my treasure chest."
Fu Shang said bluntly, while Qin Zheng fell into deep thought.
After seeing a few of them, Qin Zheng already had some plans in mind.
But just these clues are not enough, what they need is more clues, after all, at this time, they need to have a good understanding of the current situation, otherwise no one knows what will happen.
Afterwards, Qin Zheng turned his head to look at the lord, "My lord, I know you are very busy now, but please help me, and I want to visit a few more. Do you know what's going on here?"
After listening to Qin Zheng's words, the adults nodded. This matter is indeed like this. They have spent a long time without telling the other party that there must be a reason for finding this.
Every time they found traces of the robber, they began to look around, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find any trace of him. It was very likely that he was a person who could pretend.
He may even appear in front of them disguised as a commoner. At that time, they don't know what's going on, even if that person wanders around in front of them, so what? Can't see it at all!
Afterwards, Qin Zheng followed the adult around a few more times, looking at all the nearby places that had been stolen. Of course, he would meet some impatient people, but Qin Zheng patiently explained to them.
After listening to Qin Zheng's explanation, although they were still not particularly willing in their hearts, they still explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
After hearing what he said, Qin Zheng said that he knew, and then sent the lord back to the mansion.
However, when they first arrived at the bottom of the mansion, they heard shouts coming from inside.
When the lord heard such a voice, he was startled, and then quickly rushed into the mansion. The servants of the mansion were so excited when they saw the lord came back, and then rushed to the lord, and began to tell him what happened What
"It's like this, my lord, there was a person who seemed to run out of your study just now. We just chased him out, but when we chased him here, he disappeared!"
The servant said anxiously, and after hearing his words, the adult turned pale with fright, and then passed out directly.
Seeing this appearance, Qin Zheng now knew that he had no way to leave. If he left at this time, this adult would probably die here.
"Help your lords in first, and then go to invite the doctor. It is estimated that you are in a hurry at this time, otherwise such a situation will not happen!"
Qin Zheng explained anxiously, and after the servant heard this, he naturally did what Qin Zheng said. Soon, he brought the doctor back, and the doctor gave the adult the needle. Soon, the adult woke up come over.
After the lord woke up, he immediately urged Qin Zheng to go to his study to see if there was a box in his study, to see if the box was still there
After hearing this, Qin Zheng didn't dare to delay, and quickly came to the study according to what the adults said, but after entering, he found that there were no boxes in the study, and it was empty.
Seeing such a scene, Qin Zhengbian already knew what happened in this room, and he was hesitating whether to tell the adults.
He didn't know if the adult could bear the current situation, but when he returned to the room, the adult knew what happened by looking at his face
At this time, the adult was very emotionally unstable and even cried outright, while the Lang Zhong at the side tried to persuade him, but it was useless at all.
"My lord, money is something outside of your body. At this moment, the most important thing is to take care of your own body. Your current body is really unbearable!"
Qin Zheng spoke anxiously about him, and after hearing his words, the adult's mood gradually stabilized. At this moment, even if he is really anxious, what's the use? Since those things have been stolen, it is impossible to get them back.
"Hurry up and find out who it is? Who dares to steal my things? This is breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. It's really desperate. As long as I find out who he is? I will kill him alive!"
My lord, I was very emotional at this time, he grabbed Qin Zheng's hand and explained it, and Qin Zheng nodded after hearing it, although he felt uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best on this matter. As long as I am still here, I will definitely find that thief!"
Qin Zheng's tone was a bit flat, and the lord was in a very upset mood at this time, and he didn't want to see Qin Zheng, so he waved Qin Zheng to go down Qin Zheng wished he had been with the lord for a long time, but he didn't want to go It has been so lost.
Soon, Qin Zheng returned to the inn.
While on the road, Luo Fei wanted to ask Qin Zheng about the ins and outs of this incident, but Qin Zheng kept shaking his head at him. It was obvious that someone was listening on the road, so it was inconvenient to say.
Finally arrived at the inn, now no one is monitoring Qin Zheng directly pulled Luo Fei into the room, and then explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly to him.
"Do you think this time things are very strange?"
Qin Zheng asked with raised brows, and Luo Fei shook his head blankly after hearing him keep saying this. He didn't have much feeling about these things, Qin Zheng was always doing things along the way, and He just ran around with it.
He didn't do anything at all, so naturally he didn't have a particularly thorough understanding of these things.
Seeing him like this, Qin Zheng was not angry at all, and then he patiently began to explain the ins and outs of this matter to Luo Fei.
"It's like this. I realized that something was wrong from the very beginning. Have you noticed that the people who lost things this time were either rich or expensive? Everywhere we went, he was the most expensive person in this place. For the sake of unworthy existence!"
After Qin Zheng finished speaking, Luo Fei fell into deep thought. At first they went to an official's house, then they went to a wealthy businessman, and the last ones they went to were not exactly the same as each other. , but it can also be regarded as a ranking.
At this moment, how could he not know what Qin Zheng meant by saying this? But he couldn't believe it, would it really be the same as he thought
"So you mean that the people who got stolen are all rich people? But this kind of argument doesn't work. If it's what you said, wouldn't this thief be considered a good person?" !"
