Chapter 41??
"Brother Pei, your speculation is very accurate. Meng Daiping's parents' shop has been forcibly traded by Yajun. However, the shop has not been open yet and has been idle. The shop is close to the tiled tray. It is very well located. There are also many shops around. Several nearby shops close very early every day. In the morning, my brother Chungui and I went in to check it out. The shopkeeper was anxious to trade the shop. The price given was very low. We carefully observed the entire shop. The area was not very large, and the backyard was only ten steps in a radius. The locust tree was close to the back door. The shop was very messy. I must have been forced to buy the shop owner and did not intend to open here."
Luo Wenhua had just finished speaking, and Su Chungui spoke up.
"Brother Hao, the back door of the shop is only about three hundred steps away from the restaurant we stayed at. It takes only half a quarter of an hour to walk through. There is an alley at the back door. This alley belongs to the two rows of shops in front and back. There are few people entering and leaving the shop on weekdays. At most, the shopkeepers enter or leave the shop. According to our inquiry, after Meng Daiping's parents had an accident, no one walked around in this alley."
"When Mr. Luo was discussing the price of the shop with the shopkeeper, I secretly walked over and opened the bolt of the back door. At night, we could go directly from the back door, and there was a hoe close to the back door..."
Pei Changhao nodded with a smile.
"Very good. It seems that we are lucky. Today I went to the vicinity of Meng Daiping's house to check out. They live in the south of the city. The mansion is not very large and the location is still good. It is only about 500 steps away from the state yamen. We expected that Meng Daiping's parents should be very rich. They are very low-key on weekdays and have no money exposed. But for some reason, they were targeted by Ya Jun."
"Meng Daiping's parents' residence was rewarded by the governor to General Ya, and it is said that General Ya's concubine lives here."
"We all know the situation. Tonight, at 3:00 am, I am watching the wind outside the alley. Brother Pei and Chungui enter the alley. You must move quickly. After digging out the money, remember to restore it to its original state so that it will not cause doubt. If the amount of money dug out is large, you don't have to rush to take it to the restaurant at one time. You can take it away in batches. There is no one walking in that alley during the day, and no one will pay attention to it at night..."
When the knock on the door rang, the discussion was over.
The guy brought a lot of dishes.
None of the three of them drank, so they had to act at night, and drinking would definitely make a mistake.
At the second hour of You, Pei Changhao, Luo Wenhua and Su Chungui left the restaurant. Luo Wenhua and Su Chungui both brought cloth bags, and it seemed that they were just preparing to go out to buy supplies.
The shopkeeper just looked at the three people who left the restaurant one after another, then lowered his head and made an abacus.
Next to the tile hook, the sound of the jujube wooden clapper came again.
Pei Changhao turned his head, looked at Luo Wenhua, and spoke with a smile.
"Brother Luo, it's still early. Should I go in and watch a big show? It's just right when I come out?"
Luo Wenhua shook his head, walked over, and looked carefully at the wooden sign standing next to him.
"Brother Pei, we are really lucky. The performance of "Changbanpo" in the Wazi Lun. I have watched this big drama and it takes about an hour. The first show at the time of Xu and the second show at the time of Hai and the second show at the time of Zi. The performance at the Wazi Lun can help us cover up our whereabouts."
When he walked to the front of the gambling house, he was crowded with people, and Luo Wenhua smiled again on his face.
At the door of the brothel, the brothel was shouting loudly, asking the staff and girls in the building to pick up the customers.
Lingzhou where the Jiedushi is located is indeed different from other places. At least it is much more lively and there are many people who come out to entertain in the evening.
When approaching the alley, Luo Wenhua looked up at the sky, turned his head and spoke to Pei Changhao.
"Brother Pei, we don't have to wait. We can take action at this time. There are many people in the entertainment area, which can completely cover our whereabouts. I just walked around for nearly half an hour and didn't see the patrol sergeant. It seems that the governor can get a lot of money from here, so he will not strictly control this area."
Pei Changhao nodded.
"Okay, you can enter the backyard, don't worry. After observing, you will have plenty of time to take action. If there is a lot of money, let Chungui come out to inform me that I will also enter the backyard and help take away the money. If there is not much money, I will not go there. I will not wait at the entrance of the alley. That will make people doubt. There is a big tree in front of me. After half an hour, I will wait under the big tree..."
...
The alley is very quiet, pitch black, and nothing can be seen.
Luo Wenhua and Su Chungui couldn't hold a torch. They touched the wall and walked completely step by step.
Su Chungui put a big stone at the door of the backyard. A quarter of an hour passed, and Luo Wenhua's feet finally met the stone.
When he opened the wooden door, the creaking sound came, causing Luo Wenhua and Su Chungui to tremble at the same time.
There was still no noise around.
After touching his chest, Luo Wenhua entered the backyard, and Su Chungui also entered the backyard.
Luo Wenhua took out a candle from his chest. This thing is very expensive, and only wealthy families can afford it. The common people have no chance to see candles.
The candle was lit, and Su Chungui quickly brought a hoe.
Luo Wenhua has already pulled the land under the locust tree with his hands.
In just two minutes, Luo Culture pointed to the land on the right side of the locust tree.
"It's here, brother Chungui, dig it out."
Su Chungui nodded, raised his hoe and dug it hard...
Half a quarter of an hour passed.
"Mr. Luo, the hoe touched something..."
Luo Wenhua handed the candle in his hand to Su Chungui, digging the soil with both hands, and a tin box that was one foot square appeared in front of him...
"No, why are there only two iron boxes?"
Luo Wen was already a little shocked. There were not many merchants who could use iron boxes, most of them were wooden boxes. The better ones used sandalwood boxes. Iron boxes were not easy to build, and the blacksmith shop bids very high.
Two iron boxes that are one foot square cannot hold much money.
Resisting the urge to open the iron box, Luo Wenhua asked Su Chungui to continue digging.
There is indeed nothing left.
"Okay, the two iron boxes are buried here. Brother Chungui, we will take them away one by one. Brother Pei doesn't need to come in. The holes dug must be filled, so that people can't see the traces. The hoe will be thrown into the corner."
Another quarter of an hour passed.
After covering the back door, Su Chungui patted his head.
"Oh, I still forgot, how can I close the back door?"
Luo Wenhua looked at Su Chungui.
"Brother Chungui, don't worry. No one will pay attention to this place. Just cover the back door. This shop is unmanaged and is regarded as a dangerous place. No one will come to this alley. Besides, the shopkeeper will not care even if he notices that the back door has been opened. Just close it..."
Outside the alley, there were faint sounds of shouting and talking.
Walking from inside to the outside of the alley is much easier. There is light outside the alley. Walking in the direction of the light, you can quickly walk out of the alley.
At the entrance of the alley, Su Chungui stretched out his head and looked outside, and there was no one.
The two walked out of the alley and walked quickly forward.
Pei Changhao was wandering around the big tree. Seeing Luo Wenhua and Su Chungui walking quickly, he spoke with a smile.
"It's less than an hour, and it looks very smooth."
Luo Wenhua wiped away the sweat dripping from his forehead and spoke with breath.
"It went very smoothly, just two iron boxes, one foot square, and nothing else. Brother Chungui and I carried one by one, so you don't need to help."
"Okay, let's go back to the inn, have a good rest tonight, and leave Lingzhou City early tomorrow morning."
...
After washing up, Luo Wenhua came to Pei Changhao's room.
Two tin boxes are placed on the table.
"Brother Pei, why not open the iron box and see what's inside."
Pei Changhao looked at Luo Wenhua and spoke with a smile.
"Brother Luo, I don't plan to open these two iron boxes. This is left by Meng Daiping's parents. Only Meng Daiping is qualified to open it."
Luo Wenhua looked at Pei Changhao and narrowed his eyes.
"Brother Pei, Meng Daiping is your entourage. Don't talk about his two iron boxes, even Meng Daiping's life, you can deal with it. Besides, what exactly is contained in the iron box? We need to figure out what is in it. When we leave the city, we won't be worried, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with by the soldiers at the city gate."
Pei Changhao shook his head and his expression became slightly serious.
"Brother Pei, Meng Daiping is my entourage and my brother. When he told me about his parents' money, I regarded him as a brother. These two iron boxes belong to Meng Daiping. None of us can move them and must be handed over to Meng Daiping intact. As for how Meng Daiping dealt with it, that was his business."
Luo Wenhua's mouth curled up slightly, looked at Pei Changhao and spoke again.
"Does Brother Pei really think so?"
Pei Changhao nodded and spoke word by word.
"Of course, Brother Luo, when you gave me the sweat-blooded BMW without hesitation, I thought the same way. What is a brother? When I went to the battlefield, I handed my back to you with confidence. This is a brother..."
Luo Wenhua's body trembled slightly.
After a long time, Luo Wenhua looked at Pei Changhao and clasped his fists and spoke.
"Brother Pei, you know the power of the horse, and you will see the hearts of people over time. I admire your courage. I can treat your follower Meng Daiping like this, let alone anything else. I think the Qin family will eventually belong to you."
Pei Changhao smiled.
"Brother Luo, it's getting late, so I'll take a break soon. You just reminded me that tomorrow morning, we will buy two bags of barley noodles and hide the iron box in the barley noodles, so that we can transport it out of the city smoothly."
Luo Wen nodded with a smile.
"Okay, this method is good. Two bags of barley noodles will never attract the attention of the soldiers..."
