Chapter 2250 2252【Recurrence of robbery】
?In the next few days, Guo Furong felt guilty for almost pushing the scholar into a pit of fire, so she naturally treated him a little better than usual, so the relationship between the two developed rapidly.
?In order to make up for his mistakes, Guo Furong ran around and finally helped the scholar find a reliable bookseller. After reading Xiucai''s book, the other party found it very interesting, so he decided to help publish it and gave him fifty taels of silver as an advance payment.
This also made both Xiucai and Xiao Guo very happy.
The scholar even planned to use the money to redeem Xiao Guo, but Xiao Guo did not agree.
She wanted to leave Tongfu Inn before, mainly because she felt that this job as a handyman, which only paid two cents a month, did not reflect her own value. And it takes twenty years to do it, which really kills people.
??But she now earns 2 taels per month, and it only takes two years to pay off the money, which is no longer a distant dream, so she is willing to continue working and pay off the debt on her own.
Furthermore, her marriage is here. In a short period of time, she didn''t want to leave.
…
??Guo Furong didn’t want to leave, but someone came.
??Three disciples of the Hengshan Sect, Lu Yiming, Zhou Dunru, and Zhu Xiaoyun, came to Tongfu Inn together and wanted Mo Xiaobei to be their leader.
?This is not Xiang Nan''s business. He is concerned about the leaders'' meeting in a few days.
At that time, the heads of the six major sects of Jianghu and various heroes will be present, and Xiang Nan just wants to see how good they are.
“Brother Li, something’s wrong~” At this moment, Yan Xiaoliu came over to report, “Something happened at Shopkeeper Qian’s house.”
"What happened?" Xiang Nan asked quickly after hearing this.
"Shopkeeper Qian''s Wanli Pawn Shop was stolen, and fifty taels of silver disappeared. This is a big case in our Qixia Town." Yan Xiaoliu said excitedly.
Xiang Nan nodded and immediately took Yan Xiaoliu to Wanli Pawnshop.
I saw Mrs. Qian reprimanding the clerks, "I lost so much money and you didn''t notice it. I''m really angry. If you can''t find it again, I''ll deduct it from your wages."
Shopkeeper Qian looked anxious at the side, "Fifty taels of silver, how can we lose it? Madam, please calm down, don''t be too angry, or you will be hurt by anger."
?However, Xiang Nan''s sharp eyes saw a snicker on the corner of his mouth.
Obviously he was not really anxious, but was secretly happy that his scheme had succeeded.
Because Xiang Nan knew that the money was stolen by the shopkeeper himself. His wife was very strict with him and forced him to lose weight and work all day long, so shopkeeper Qian wanted to steal money.
?However, although Xiang Nan knew this, he did not want to close the case so quickly.
On the one hand, even if he knew that Shopkeeper Qian had stolen it himself, there was no actual evidence; on the other hand, he wanted to borrow Mrs. Qian to test the strength of the major martial arts masters.
Xiang Nan came to this world mainly to collect martial arts. The top martial arts in "Wulin Gaiden" are basically in the hands of the major martial arts schools.
?For example, Shaolin has Bodhidharma Kicks, Thunderous Kwai Shou, Nine Yang Magic, Muscle Relaxing Dragon Claw Hands, Eighteen Bronze Man Body Protection Magic, etc.; Wudang has Tai Chi; Emei has Emei Sword Technique; Kongtong has Seven Injury Fist...
In order to collect martial arts, Xiang Nan will have to find these sects sooner or later. The only difference is whether it is by trick or by robbery.
??And if you want to test the martial arts of the major masters, you have to find a good human shield.
?Mrs. Qian is known as the best human shield in "Wulin Gaiden". She has practiced the Golden Bell Shield of the Thirteen Taibao, and her ability to resist beatings is quite strong.
??He was attacked by the leaders of the major sects with the most brutal martial arts, but he didn''t die. Instead, he quickly came out to act like a monster again. Being so resistant to beatings makes him a perfect touchstone.
?Moreover, Mrs. Qian is also one of the rare villains in "Wulin Gaiden".
In the play, she not only faked her death for blackmail, but also kidnapped Mo Xiaobei and took the opportunity to plot against Tongfu Inn. It can be said that she has a bad heart.
For this reason, Xiang Nan also wanted her to suffer. Even if she is beaten to death, it will only eliminate one evil for the Seven Heroes.
?Of course, it is too coincidental that Mrs. Qian is dealt with by various bosses in the play. But Xiang Nan still wants to give it a try. It doesn’t matter if he fails anyway.???…
Xiang Nan immediately walked over and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, Mrs. Qian, I heard that you lost money again at the pawnshop?"
“Hey, who are you? Where’s Mr. Xing?” Mrs. Qian asked in surprise when she saw Xiang Nan.
She knew that Xiang Nan was the chef of Tongfu Inn.
“Oh, Capt. Xing has gone to the capital to receive an award, and I will temporarily take over his post.” Xiang Nan explained, “Please tell me about the case, and I’ll see if I can help you.”
“Okay.” Mrs. Qian nodded, and then recounted the case.
It turned out that when she did her accounting this morning, she realized that the money in the treasury did not match. After checking carefully, I found that fifty taels of silver were missing.
“How much silver is there in the treasury?” Xiang Nan asked.
“One thousand taels.” Mrs. Qian replied.
“Are they put together?” Xiang Nan asked again.
Mrs. Qian nodded.
"That''s strange. Since all fifty taels were stolen, why not steal the remaining nine hundred and fifty taels." Xiang Nan said.
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Qian was thoughtful, while Shopkeeper Qian was shocked.
He indeed stole fifty taels of silver, and he was also able to steal one thousand taels at that time. It''s just that he just wanted to steal some pocket money and didn''t intend to destroy the entire family.
?Besides, if your wife catches you stealing fifty taels, the most you can do is get a beating. But when his wife discovered that he had stolen a thousand taels, he probably dropped it into a box. Therefore, he only stole fifty taels, but unexpectedly, he left a flaw.
That’s right. If it was a real thief, how could he only steal fifty taels?
"That makes sense." Mrs. Qian nodded, "Then why do you think it is?"
"In my opinion, someone was short of money but didn''t want to cause too much trouble, so he only stole a little." Xiang Nan explained, "This should be considered a thief''s right."
"There is a way to steal. Stealing is stealing. If I know who it is, I will still skin him." Mrs. Qian said fiercely.
?Shopkeeper Qian trembled immediately.
…
"Mrs. Qian, I want to see the place where the crime occurred." Xiang Nan said to Mrs. Qian again.
Mrs. Qian nodded and took Xiang Nan to the warehouse.
There are no windows in the warehouse, and there is no other entrance or exit other than the door.
Xiang Nan checked the door lock, jumped up to the roof, checked it carefully, and then landed.
"Mrs. Qian, look, there is no sign that the lock of the warehouse has been pried, and there is no sign that the tiles on the roof have been lifted." He introduced immediately.
“What does this mean?” Mrs. Qian asked puzzledly.
"This means that the person who stole it is either a thief who has access to the key. Or he is a very skilled thief who can open this kind of copper lock." Xiang Nan analyzed.
Hearing what he said, Shopkeeper Qian felt more and more uneasy. It’s not even May yet and I’m already sweating profusely.
“That makes sense.” Mrs. Qian nodded.
Yan Xiaoliu listened on the sidelines and felt that Xiang Nan was really amazing. After just a few glances, he was able to analyze so many clues, which was much better than his master, Lao Xing.
