Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 891 It Backfired 2.0

"Are there a lot of police patrolling?" Song Qiyun frowned, "Why? It's because someone among you leaked the secret, isn't it?"

"No, no, it has nothing to do with us." Xiang Liu shook his head, "After returning to the city the next day, the villain inquired and found out that the government office has the whereabouts of a fugitive, who is said to have haunted Qili Manor. The police were searching over there, and the fugitive was indeed captured near the manor." He smiled wryly, "It's just that the villains were not very lucky, and it was a bit miserable, but the result was okay. After many twists and turns, they succeeded. Some entered the manor and were not caught."

"How many people attended that gathering?"

"Including treasurer Bao and the villain, there are eleven people in total. If there are too many people, it will attract the attention of others." Xiang Liu added when he saw Song Qiyun and Bai Meng's gazes on the other people. , "That gathering, without them, they are not qualified to participate."

Although Xiang Liu's words made the other people feel uncomfortable, they also have to admit that what Xiang Liu said is true, they are indeed not qualified, they are all responsible for running errands and doing work, if it wasn't for the need for manpower when they came to Beijing this time, they Nor will it be brought over.

"What did you do and what did you say that day?"

"Treasurer Bao just conveyed the mage's order, requiring the thirteen sub-altars to collect the specified amount of money and food before the end of this year. And the mage gave the method to get the money and food, which is..."

"Stealing food shops, gold, silver and jade shops?" Seeing Xiang Liu nodding, Song Qiyun snorted contemptuously, "I'm used to stealing and plundering, so I really can't think of other ways. However, you have not cheated the common people's money before, right? ?”

"When the government suppressed, most of them were confiscated, and only a small part was left, but it was not enough to support the next action." Xiang Liu sighed, "There are three most prosperous markets in Liuzhou Prefecture. The shopkeeper had already stepped on the plate before calling the villains, and selected fifteen shops including his own jade shop, and after the final discussion of the villains, seven of them were left. That is to say, planing After going to Shopkeeper Bao's shop, the real target is the six."

"Why did you choose the grain shop and the jade shop? If you need money, wouldn't it be better to just steal the money?"

"A bank is not difficult, but it's too obvious, and it's not very convenient. If it's a bank, do villains steal silver or bank notes? Silver is too heavy, and bank notes are easy to see through. It's not as convenient as exchanging gold, silver and jade."

"What's a convenient way?" Song Qiyun glanced at Bai Meng, "You won't steal the stolen goods in Liuzhou Prefecture, and take them to other state capitals to sell them?"

"This lord is right, that's how it is. Little people do this before they are discovered." Xiang Liu nodded, "This is very hidden and not easy to be discovered."

"Understood." Song Qiyun nodded, "You have already discussed the plan more than seven months ago, why did you take action only recently?"

"Because we need to arrange people to enter these target stores to do internal response for us." Xiang Liu explained, "We selected some young people who are smart, quick-witted, talk less and do more, train them, and arrange them to enter the target stores in batches Be a buddy. We originally planned that each family could keep one or two children, but we didn’t expect that the children we arranged were not bad, and after a few months, they all managed to stay.”

"You can act wherever they stay, right?" Seeing Xiang Liu nodding, Song Qiyun continued to ask, "Up to now, how many houses have you stolen?"

"Three families, originally I thought the fourth one would be Shopkeeper Bao's shop, but because of the accident of Young Master Yan, this plan was forced to stop." Xiang Liu shrugged, "The grown-ups all know what happened later. .”

"Tell me, what's the matter with this Jade Buddha? Where did it come from?"

"Jade Buddha?" Xiang Liu turned around and glanced, "It's always been kept in a secret room underground in the manor."

"There is also an identical Jade Buddha in Hengzhou Mansion, are they the same?"

"No, it's not the same." Xiang Liu shook his head lightly, "That one is a fake, this one is the real Jade Buddha."

"Imitation? Then how to tell the real from the fake?"

"The base of the fake Jade Buddha has a triangular mark. At the beginning, the mage made ten imitation Jade Buddhas, but the villain doesn't know what the purpose is."

"These should be confidential, right? Did your brother tell you?"

"Yeah!" Xiang Liu nodded, "He always tells the villain some things intentionally or unintentionally, probably because he wants the villain to save his life at a critical moment!"

"It's because of this that you want to avenge him no matter what, isn't it?" Seeing Xiang Liu's firm eyes, Song Qiyun sighed softly, this is a very affectionate and righteous person. "How much do you know about the situation of the other twelve branch altar masters?"

"Hmm..." Xiang Liu thought for a while, "I've basically met them all, and the relationship is pretty good."

He reported twelve names in a row, and told the situation of these twelve people, as long as he knew about them.

Song Qiyun and Bai Meng looked at each other. Although Xiang Liu had been saying that he didn't benefit from his brother who was a stand-in, just like what he said just now, he had actually obtained it unconsciously. benefit.

Otherwise, in his capacity, how could he have friendship with the other twelve altar masters, and the friendship is not bad!

"Before the government suppressed Tianxingjiao, the villain had met with these altar owners. Sometimes he was with shopkeeper Bao, and sometimes he went alone because of certain things. They..." Xiang Liu hesitated for a moment, "I seem to have a problem with shopkeeper Bao, and I would occasionally mention it to me, saying that shopkeeper Bao doesn't respect them very much because of his relationship with his elders."

"The eyes are higher than the top, which is really annoying."

"That's right, and those altar owners also said that if there is a chance, I hope that the villain can replace shopkeeper Bao and become the altar owner of the Liuzhou branch." Xiang Liu smiled wryly, "Anyway, there are many complaints like this. , the villain just listened to it, and didn't take it particularly seriously. Perhaps the altar masters value the villain very much, but the villain is still very self-aware, and he is not that material at all."

Song Qiyun didn't pick up on this, but just asked him what the altar masters usually talked with him.

"It's all gossip, nothing particularly confidential." Xiang Liu thought for a while, "In order to express my sincerity, I can tell the adults what these altar owners look like, and the adults can use the portraits to arrest them. But the little I have a request, and I want the adults to agree."

"After this matter is over, I will treat your brother's family well."

"Your Highness!"

Xiang Liu described in detail the appearances of the other twelve altar masters in the south of the Yangtze River, and the shadows drew portraits according to his description and showed them to him.

"Very similar, very similar!"

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Song Jue and Song Yaojia stood behind and began to whisper.

"Master Tianxing, even after thousands of calculations, he failed to figure it out. Bao Gui is the biggest failure in this comeback." Song Yaojia raised his eyebrows, "And the altar masters of the sub-altars in the south of the Yangtze River probably also regret it. I talked a lot, and even showed my friendship to him, but Xiang Liu sold them without hesitation, if they found out, they might have the heart to strangle him to death."

"If you don't choose the right person, it really can only be backfired!"
