Xuying Chengjiang County is a county with a long and narrow terrain, spanning both sides of the Leiyue River. It has two towns under its jurisdiction, namely Nanjiang Town on the south bank and Beijiang Town on the north bank. The Leiyue River section in the county has beautiful scenery and rich aquatic products.

, is famous far and wide as a land of plenty.

When the Anle Sect rebelled, Gai Yi, the Prime Minister of Jiang County, led his army to resist, but was defeated and retreated to Nanjiang Town. Because of the Leiyue River as a barrier, they faced off against the Anle Sect's navy across the river, and they have survived to this day.

Beijiang Town is an important ferry on the Leiyue River. It has developed commerce and a complex population. There are three religions and nine streams, dragons and snakes are mixed. After the Anle religion tree fell and the hozens dispersed, Wan Chonghai, the owner of the local "Wanyi Fort" who started as a green forest pirate, took the opportunity.

After wiping out the remnants of the Anle Sect entrenched here, and since then he has maintained his own self-respect, and due to the chaotic situation in the court, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one cares about it, so Wan Chonghai became the local emperor of Beijiang Town and dominated the area.

Wan Chonghai was originally a bandit, so there were basically no royal restrictions in Beijiang Town. All businesses, including eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling, could be opened openly and openly, as long as taxes were paid.

Therefore, all industries in Beijiang Town are prosperous. Within a radius of 500 miles, all officials and thieves and ordinary people are flocking to it, which in turn promotes the prosperity of business. In this troubled time, it can be regarded as a scene.

Son.

The willow moon is like an eyebrow, the stars are dim, and Beijiang Town is peaceful.

"Bang! Bang bang!" The watchman rang the bang. It was already the third watch.

A middle-aged man wearing a black night jacket with a rather frightening pale face was walking forward on the ridge of the house. He was seen jumping up and down one step after another. Although his qinggong was average, under the skill of a master

His eyes were even a little childish, but his hands and feet were very nimble and he moved very fast without making any noise.

In a short time, he rushed into a mansion and came out after only one meal. With an extra baggage on his shoulders, he jumped up to the roof with his hands and feet, and disappeared into the night like a civet cat.

middle.

When he rushed to the roof next to a street, a group of patrolling soldiers happened to come towards him. He was so frightened that he quickly stopped and leaned down on the ridge of the roof.

The patrol slowly approached, and the white-faced thief lay motionless on the ridge of the roof, waiting for them to go away.

As the saying goes: Thirst meets salty well water, and the bride comes to the bridal chamber to aunt her.

Why do you carry it like that!

Just when the patrol was walking to the house where he was hiding, a black cat slipped out from nowhere and suddenly jumped on his back!

Is this okay?

His already tense nerves were suddenly so stimulated that he jumped up from the ridge of the roof in fright!

"Wow..."

There was a crunching sound when you stepped on the tiles!

"Damn it! Damn it's time to carry it home!" The white-faced lone thief cursed as he jumped from house to house and ran away risking his life.

"stop!"

"Come quickly! Catch the thief..."

The patrol was in hot pursuit on the street.

After passing through several streets, the white-faced lone thief jumped into a large house and disappeared.

"Boss! That guy jumped into the yard, let's go in and search!" a soldier shouted.

"Snapped!"

The slap was so loud that the soldier turned around several times and looked at the leader in confusion.

"Search your sister! Don't even look at whose house this is! How many heads do you have that you can chop off?"

The soldier quickly looked up and saw the word "Wanfu" written on the horizontal plaque on the gate of the house. He was so frightened that he shrank his neck.

"What a damn bad luck! I thought I could catch this thief so that I could collect the five hundred taels of silver reward, but unexpectedly, I ended up in Mr. Wan's house. How can I deal with this?"

Another soldier picked at his cheek and said: "Oh! This month, more than a dozen large houses have been robbed. Tonight should be the eighteenth house. I don't know which house is unlucky. If I have such a thing, I can't walk over the wall."

With all your time, you can steal a few fucking handfuls, which will make you money much faster than being a soldier!"

"Damn you, sister! If you had such ability, you would have been an official long ago! Stop nagging and keep patrolling!"

"Hey! Boss! Do you want to report this to the police?"

"Report it to your sister! Have you forgotten about Brother Wang? He led a patrol the night before yesterday, and didn't he also discover the snitch and chase him to Mr. Wan's house and disappear? Brother Wang reported it to the police. What was the result?

?I still want to get promoted and make a fortune! If you dare to block my future, I will have to skin you!"

The patrol continued patrolling the streets as if nothing had happened.

The white-faced lone thief walked through the rooms in Wanfu. He stopped in front of the door where the servants were staying in the kitchen, pushed the door open slightly and entered.

After entering the room, he reached out and wiped it on his face, pulled off a human skin mask, and then let out a long breath. It turned out to be a young man with regular features.

The young man took off his night clothes, put on the clothes of a servant, and then lifted up the bed board. Under the board, there were actually banknotes, including more than a dozen gold bars!

The young man nodded and murmured to himself: "Finally enough!"

Putting all the banknotes in a bag, the young man pushed the door open and walked out. The sky was already turning white at this moment.

There was a cart in front of the door. There were ten large baskets on it, which were used for daily grocery shopping. He stuffed the baggage filled with banknotes into one of the baskets, then pushed the cart and walked out through the back door.

.

After turning two corners, they met the group of soldiers who were patrolling just now. The young man walked towards them calmly and calmly without a blush on his face.

"Ahem! Luo Wang is so capable! Are you out buying groceries before dawn?" the team leader waved in greeting.

"Oh! Forget it, who asked us to work on the cupboards? The kitchen servants have to work harder than others. If we don't go back to buy groceries early and delay Mr. Wan from having breakfast, who can afford it?"

Luo Wang replied with a smile while pushing the cart towards the market in the south.

"Hey! Ronaldinho's craftsmanship is first-rate, and he is a good person. Last time Mr. Wan entertained distinguished guests, I haven't finished the half bottle of good wine he secretly left for me. No wonder Mr. Wan took a fancy to it and left it.

He's cooking by my side!" the team leader said, looking at his leaving figure.

At this moment, several dogs barked from the front, and the patrol immediately became nervous and ran over while cursing.

Luo Wang carted the cart to the market and filled ten large baskets with the chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits for the day, and then asked the vegetable vendor to push the cart to Wanfu, on the pretext that he had other business to attend to.

Carrying the baggage, he hurried towards the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate all knew Luo Wang and benefited from him on weekdays. When they heard that he had official business, even though it was not time to open the city gate yet, they didn't even ask and just opened the door and let him go.

.

Five miles south of the city, the hillside is densely covered with emerald green bamboo.

There is a ruined temple at the foot of the hillside. The temple is full of dust and cobwebs. No one has come here for many years. But what is different from the past is that today there is a picture of a bloodthirsty ghost hanging in the temple!

The sky was completely bright, and Luo Wang was hiding on the hillside. He chopped down a few bamboos, cut off the branches and leaves, and sharpened the bamboo heads. He squinted one eye and took another look until he was satisfied.

Along the hillside to the ruined temple, he placed pointed bamboo poles every twenty meters, then squatted in the bamboo forest, peeking through the gaps in the bamboo leaves at the path down the slope, as if

Waiting for someone to show up.

"Gulu gulu..."

It was not long before the slow and rhythmic sound of wheels came from one end of the road, and Luo Wang suddenly became nervous.
Chapter completed!
