Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 167

Walking around the courtyard wall, Qin Su took out the letter he had prepared a long time ago, and stuffed it in through the crack of the gate.

With a "click", there was a slight sound of the letter paper falling to the ground, and Qin Su couldn't help but bend his eyes.

The four big characters "Lang Zhong Ling Qi" on the envelope will definitely make this letter reach Cheng Tingzhen's hands smoothly.

Qin Su looked up at the sky.

Thick clouds covered most of the moonlight, and there was only a blurred light spot in the sky.

At this time, it should be just after the beginning of Hai, and those little thieves must still be waiting outside.

About half an hour later, it will be the time when the medicinal effect is at its strongest, and then they will start their actions, and the order of their actions is to search the enclosure first, and then come to the backyard.

The reason why they acted like this was said to be because they were very sure about the drug, so they took it easy, but they never expected that the guards at those post stations would turn around in the middle of the night.

These are also what Qin Su heard in her previous life.

She never expected that the gossip she heard as stories in the previous life would help her so much in this life.

She stood outside the door where Cheng Tingzhen lived for a while, and after identifying the direction, she went to the back door of the inn.

The next thing she has to do is not difficult, and the things have already been prepared. As long as this is done, the worries of Qingzhou City will be temporarily relieved.

The premise of all this is that her speed must be fast.

Everything must be arranged properly before the guards who returned late return home.

Without thinking about it, Qin Su took off the burden and hugged her in her arms, tightened the cloak around her body, and hurried away...

***************************
"bang, bang, bang"

Before Haizheng arrived, a loud gong sounded suddenly, and it spread far away in the quiet night.

"Thieves and birds, don't run, eat my sword!"

"The idea is tricky, be careful!"

"Quick, there is another one here, tie him up!"

There were bursts of shouting and fighting sounds, followed by the sound of the gong. If someone had good hearing, they could even hear the sound of fighting among them. In an instant, the whole post station became lively .

The continuous movements and shouts awakened those guards with better martial arts skills first.

After they woke up and found that they had been drugged, they woke up the others one after another. Soon, all the sleeping people in the station finally woke up. The entire post station was as bright as daylight.

Cheng Tingzhen and Mr. Liu took a few guards and guarded under the corridor of the main house, looking at the brightly lit surrounding building in front, their faces were livid.

All the people in the whole family were enlightened and drugged some thieves. This is already a joke. It's ridiculous that the guards raised by his Cheng family all slept worse than his master. Kicking the door and splashing a few big ladles of cold water on the head woke up these people.

It really gets worse the more I think about it.

The guards of the Qin family are obviously much smarter than those of the Cheng family. The first ones to wake up in the entire backyard are the guards of the Qin family.

Cheng Tingzhen clenched and opened his hands behind his back, and his eyes slowly swept across the guards.

Those people all lowered their heads with shame on their faces.

Fortunately, he finally still has some sense of shame, and he can't live up to his offerings over the years.

"My lord, everyone is here, everything has been sorted out, and there is no detraction." A man in charge ran in from outside the courtyard, hurriedly reported, and wiped the sweat from his brow while speaking, After taking a breath, he reported again: "The boy in front came to report that the building suffered heavy losses, most of which were stolen by thieves, and one of the courtyards under Qin's residence was also stolen. The surnames Cheng and Cui are all fine."

Following his words, Cheng Tingzhen's expression calmed down little by little.

It turned out that the Qin family had lost something.

This made him feel that he had saved some face.

He looked at the manager with a pale expression, and ordered: "Go again, send two fast-footed people to go ahead to inquire, and come back immediately if there is news."

"Yes, Lord Lang!" The steward replied swiftly, lifted up his robe and ran down to find someone.

Cheng Tingzhen turned his eyes and winked at Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu understood, and unconsciously tightened his sleeves.

The envelope in the sleeve was pinching his hand, which also made his heart a little bit up and down.

The letter fell at the gate of the courtyard, and it was picked up by Cheng Tingzhen himself.It's just that at that time, he still had to take into account the safety of Cheng's parents, so he gave the letter to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu read it immediately, but he hadn't had time to tell Cheng Tingzhen the specific content. Now he is thinking about the content of the letter Well, Mr. Liu always felt that what was said in this letter had a lot of meaning.

"Dalang, is there nothing going on outside?" An old voice sounded, with a bit of the kindness of an old woman, but it was Mrs. Cheng who spoke from behind the curtain, with a worried tone: "I heard that There are still people talking outside, is there something wrong?"

"It's all right, mother, my son is here to watch over." Cheng Tingzhen said gently, with a very calm tone.

Mrs. Cheng seemed to be relieved, and told him earnestly: "You order people to guard the yard and close the doors and windows, so you don't want to go out. There is chaos outside, so stay in the yard and wait. Let’s talk about it when the people from the official office come.”

When the elderly are old, they put all their hearts on their children and grandchildren, and they are always afraid of accidents.

Cheng Tingzhen replied yes, but the two lying silkworm eyebrows were twisted together.

He already understood the general situation of the matter. It was a few thieves who broke into the post station. The guards kept by the post station found out, and both sides started fighting.

Just now, the two guards sent out to inquire about the news came back and reported that the thief had five people in total, two of them were captured and three escaped.Now the two thieves are being locked in the firewood room, and the post station sent special personnel to guard them.

The steward of the post station also specially asked the guards to send a message, saying that he had already gone to the front to report to the officials, presumably it will not be long before the people from the official office will arrive.

Cheng Tingzhen tried his best to keep his expression as calm as possible, so that no one could notice the anxiety in his eyes.

After reading that secret letter, Mr. Liu only whispered four words in his ear: "Three rare volumes."

It was these four words that made Cheng Tingzhen feel uneasy.

Those three volumes of rare books that he got inexplicably were really a hidden worry in his heart, but he couldn't investigate them in detail due to limited power.

Now, a secret letter has suddenly entered his yard, and this letter is related to a rare book, how can you make him feel at ease?
"Lang Zhongling, those two little thieves... do you want to have a chance to have a trial?" Mr. Liu came over at some point and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Tingzhen regained his senses, and pressed down his eyebrows that were tightened a little more.

Those little thieves are indeed suspicious. Is there any connection between them and the secret letter?
Thinking in his heart, he murmured: "These people... are really thieves?"

His voice was so soft that no one heard it except Mr. Liu.
