Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 120
Unexpectedly, on the road, I ran into Xing Butou hurriedly rushing to the county government. Seeing this, Zhang Chen quickly pulled Xing Butou and said:
"Uncle Xing, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xing Butou was held back by Zhang Chen and found out that it was Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang. After hearing Zhang Chen's question, he opened his mouth and said:
"It's nothing serious. I just came back from outside the town and just wanted to report to Lou Zhi County that the river water level has returned to normal."

Bai Zhantang heard the words and said doubtfully:
"It's a good thing, why are you in such a hurry?"

After Xing Butou heard the words and looked around, he said in a low voice:

"It's not just this matter. You know about the collapse of Cuiwei Mountain, but you certainly don't know that there is a stolen tomb in the place where Cuiwei Mountain collapsed."

It was Xing Butou's words that surprised the two of them. Bai Zhantang was an accident and Cuiwei Mountain had this incident, and Zhang Chen was surprised that the tomb should not have been discovered so early.

Before the two of them could ask Xing Butou, he ran to the county government office and said:
"Let's not talk about it, I'm still busy reporting to Louzhi County"

Looking at the figure of Xing Tutou going away, Bai Zhantang sighed:
"Lao Xing is good at this skill, his steps are obviously much stronger than before."

Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly when he heard the words. If others don't know, he can still know. The reason why Catcher Xing's speed increased is because the last action made him stab his ass.

After recovering from the injury, Xing Tutou thought that he was injured because of his lack of speed. In order to prevent the injury next time, he decided to strengthen the improvement in this area after learning from the painful experience.

Of course, Zhang Chen supported this decision, and even specially found an easy-to-understand Qinggong for Xing Tutou to learn, but he didn't expect that Xing Tutou's saber talent is not good, and learning Qinggong can be said to be fast.

But this reason really made Zhang Chen unable to say it, so he could only smile awkwardly. Bai Zhantang didn't mean to delve into it, but just lamented the speed of Xing Tuotou's growth.

After Xing Butou's figure completely disappeared, Zhang Chen looked at the sunlight in the sky, turned to Bai Zhantang and said:
"Brother Bai, let's go to Cuiwei Mountain first, Uncle Xing has already told us everything we want to know."

Afterwards, the two of them ran light kung fu and hurried towards Cuiwei Mountain.

After half an hour!
Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang came to the foot of the mountain and smelled a stronger smell in the air.

Bai Zhantang said affirmatively:

"The source should be near here, otherwise it wouldn't have such a strong smell"

Zhang Chen found a big tree and stood on the branch to observe the landslide, and found a strange pothole not far away.

Zhang Chen quickly brought Bai Zhantang to the pothole over there. After carefully studying the pothole, Bai Zhantang said with certainty:

"This is a robbery hole! Although the heavy rain has washed away the surrounding soil to cover up the traces, it can still be seen that it is a newly dug robbery hole."

"It seems that there is definitely a big tomb underneath, otherwise there would not be such skilled tomb robbers coming here to rob the tomb"

Bai Zhantang just looked at the tomb robber and analyzed that he was still a master tomb robber, which surprised Zhang Chen.

Bai Zhantang immediately explained:

"Small tricks, nothing worth mentioning!"

But looking at the corners of Bai Zhantang's slightly raised mouth, Zhang Chen knew that Bai Zhantang was still proud of this introduction. After all, there were not many opportunities to pretend to be in front of Zhang Chen.

After Bai Zhantang finished his introduction, Zhang Chen looked at the robbery hole and said:

"The problem may be caused by this large tomb in the mountains, and the landslide on Cuiwei may also be the result of the tomb robbers' actions leading to the activation of their organs."

Yesterday's heavy rain dissipated all traces of the surrounding area, and now the only way is to re-enter the ancient tomb to see the situation.

The two discussed for a while and there was no good way. If the tomb didn't collapse, they could go down to the robbery hole to have a look.

The two of them had no choice but to turn around and leave. The two of them planned to go to the county government again, tell Lou Zhi County about the matter and see what he thought.

Afterwards, the two immediately returned to Qixia Town to go to the county government office to find Lou Zhixian.

Entering the inner office and seeing a pile of official documents in front of Lou Zhixian, Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang told Lou Zhixian what they found.

Lou Zhixian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he led the two of them to do a good job at the table, and said with a smile:
"You are really my lucky stars. I am worried about how to get through the underground waterway. The support from the government will not come for a while."

"Our county government can only start to take action on its own. Just now I was still thinking about how to deploy manpower and organize personnel to repair waterways."

"Your news just gave me an idea. Let's start cleaning up the landslide in Cuiwei Mountain. According to your guess, we should at least let the stench dissipate. Otherwise, there will be no one in Qixia Town."

Louzhi County asked the county government officials to go to Cuiwei Mountain to clean up the earth and rocks, and then notify Zhang Chen and others after the rough outline was cleared.

When the two returned to the inn, they saw Guo Furong wearing a mask and cleaning something. Zhang Chen looked at Guo Furong and asked suspiciously:
"Didn't the shopkeeper tell everyone to rest? Are you positive?"

Guo Furong watched Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang enter the lobby, and after hearing Zhang Chen's question, she waved her hand and said:

"Of course not! You see, I seem to be such an active person. I was sleeping soundly, but someone knocked on the door and woke everyone up. I had no choice but to let him in."

"Who knows the fishy smell on his body, and his body is covered in mud, oh, yes, it's like the smell in the air"

Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang looked at each other tacitly after hearing the words, Zhang Chen said:
"Where is that person now?"

Guo Furong pointed to the upstairs guest room and said happily:

"I take a shower upstairs, don't you know that although others are dirty, they spend a lot of money?"

As Guo Furong spoke, she handed a bundle to Zhang Chen. After Zhang Chen opened the bundle, he saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewels.

Bai Zhantang immediately went to his side to look at the things in the bag, observed carefully for a while and said:

"These are all funerary objects! Judging from the style and specifications, they are still from the Western Han Dynasty."

Guo Furong came to her senses at this moment, pointed to the upstairs and said in a low voice:
"Then he is..."

Zhang Chen looked at the gold, silver and jewels in the baggage and replied casually:
"You guessed it right! It's not obvious, grave robber."

"And this thief happened to be encountered by us. It's really lucky. Brother Bai, some of us have gone down."

Bai Zhantang smiled and nodded when he heard the words. It really didn't take much effort. Just now he was worried about how to go down to check the situation, so he sent it to his door.

Watching the two play dumb, Guo Furong looked at Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang with disgust and said:

"Hey! You two laugh so disgustingly!"

It was a pity to look at the gold, silver and jewels in the baggage, after all, there was a lot of money in it, but it was just dug out from the tomb, which made Guo Furong a little disgusted.

　Thanks for the support!
