Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 18 The Baizhantang Crisis

The others in the inn did not rest, the bedroom in the backyard was brightly lit, and Guo Furong was still telling Mo Xiaobei about the legendary deeds of the Thief.

Mo Xiaobei asked suspiciously, "Brother Bai's usual lazy behavior is a bit different from the robber you mentioned."

"That's when we were together, who knows what he looks like in private, maybe he is wearing black clothes and has a nimble figure shuttling across the rooftops at night." Guo Furong leaned on her face and thought longingly.

Mo Xiaobei rolled her eyes at Guo Furong's nympho look, turned around and continued to fold the thousand paper cranes.

Xiucai and Dazui didn't rest to discuss the matter of Bai Zhantang being a robber.The scholar was tossing and turning on the bed, thinking wildly, suddenly got up and said: "If Lao Bai steals the saint, he is a thief. Isn't it dangerous for us to stay here?"

Da Zui lay on the side and persuaded: "Xiucai sees how timid you are, we have been together day and night for the past two years, and Lao Bai has treated us very well! The most important thing is that last time I sent my mother home and told me that I handed it over in the inn. A couple of really good friends."

"My mother also said the same thing, so I think I must be right. Scholars are just timid and think too much." Li Dazui said to the scholar with a look of disdain.

Not to be outdone, the scholar said, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. He is a thief after all! Who knows that he will..." in the future.

Li Dazui turned his back and said: "I, Li Dazui, are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but I know that being a man requires loyalty and I will ignore the scholar after I finish speaking."

I'm guessing and it's not true, the scholar muttered.

Tong Xiangyu went out of the room and saw Bai Zhantang sleeping soundly on the stairs, then quietly followed the ladder to the roof.Looking at the starry sky in silence, he suddenly turned his head and said to his back: "Zhantang..." After saying two words, he choked up and couldn't speak.

At some point, Bai Zhantang appeared behind Tong Xiangyu and watched silently, and heard Tong Xiangyu's choked up voice saying: "Stay with me for a while! Just for a while".

Bai Zhantang sighed and stopped talking, and silently stayed by Tong Xiangyu's side.

The next morning, when Bai Zhantang came back from the inn, he found Zhang Chen and said with a relaxed expression, "Xiaochen, I figured out that I can no longer live in such a passive way. I went out early this morning to step on the mountain within a radius of more than ten miles. All the dens of thieves have been found."

"It's what you did in Cuiwei Mountain last time that reminded me. Yesterday I suddenly thought that this is also accumulating credit. When the credit has accumulated to a certain level, I will ask the court for a gold medal to avoid death."

"Then you, Big Brother Bai, can stand here aboveboard," Bai Zhantang said to Zhang Chen after careful analysis.

Zhang Chen gave Bai Zhantang a thumbs up, and then the two hid aside and started discussing.

Guo Furong saw that Bai Zhantang and Zhang Chen were discussing something, and immediately ran over to pull Bai Zhanchang away and said that Laobai Laobai has something to ask you for advice.

Then asked in a low voice, "Are you going to come out of the world again, take me with you!".

Seeing Guo Furong's positive expression, Bai Zhantang decided to teach him and her a lesson so that she could understand that no matter what kind of behavior he did, a thief is still a thief, and just because he did something good, he should not be considered right.

Then he said to Guo Furong, "I can't take you with you, you are inexperienced, and if something happens, it will implicate me, but I can rob the rich and you come to help the poor."

Guo Furong nodded quickly and said, "Wow, wow!".

Zhang Chen could only helplessly pat his head on the sidelines, thinking that poor Xiao Guo was being cheated again.

For several nights in a row, the big households in Qixia Town lost more or less valuable items. Guo Furong could still laugh happily at first, but when the atmosphere in Qixia Town became more and more tense, she couldn't laugh anymore.

When night fell, Guo Furong grabbed Bai Zhantang's arm and faltered and said nothing, "Xiao Guo, you are talking, I can't go if you are like this, how can you act?"

Guo Furong said frightenedly, "Let's go! Everyone in Qixia Town is panicking."

Bai Zhantang smiled and said, "Isn't that what you said before, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor!".

Guo Furong cried aggrievedly, ""I didn't expect this to happen. I just wanted to act chivalrously and rob the rich and help the poor. I didn't expect to cause so much trouble for everyone."

Seeing that Guo Furong had figured it out, Bai Zhantang seriously explained his reasons for wanting to retire.

Xiao Guo just understood!The rivers and lakes are still like this. Some people want to enter and some people want to escape.

After seeing Xiao Guo figured it out, Bai Zhantang took advantage of the sun to return the items he had stolen in the past few days. With the announcement of the government notice, the shops in Qixia Town opened one after another and finally returned to normal.

After a few days in a row, everyone saw that Bai Zhantang was no different from before, and the atmosphere in the store gradually returned to normal. Joy and slapstick reappeared in the store.
