Peerless Pirates

Chapter 44 Under the Shadow of the Town

The big man outside only stayed at the door of Song Zheng's room for a moment, and then walked to the next room. Song Zheng knew that the other party should be the "Thirteenth Brother". Before taking action, he needed to listen to what was going on. If everyone was already asleep

, it was time for them to take action.

After a while, the subtle footsteps sounded on the stairs. Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. The luggage of Shi Cunbao and Bei Leye were both carried by two bookboys, so the "Thirteenth Brother"

Let's go downstairs first. He should come back.

Sure enough, after a cup of tea, the "Thirteenth Brother" returned to Room 1. After a while, the two big men groped downstairs. Song Zheng slowly opened the door a crack and walked sideways through.

Then he gently closed the door. Song Zheng quietly touched the stairs. As soon as he poked his head out, he saw a big man standing on the side of the stairs on the first floor, looking around. This was obviously the "Ninth Brother" who was showing off.

.Perhaps he has just inquired about the Tianzihao guest room upstairs, so the Ninth Brother was very relieved about the upstairs and did not look up the stairs. Otherwise, even if it was dark, he might find Young Master Song poking his head.

Song Zheng hurriedly retracted his head, and then slowly poked his head out again. This time, through the faint light of the snow, he saw another burly man standing vaguely outside the house where Shi Zhuang locked the two book boys.

In the blur, I saw that he was holding a dark object in his hand, one end of which was stuck into the door, and the other end was placed on his lips, as if he was blowing something. In his other hand, he was also holding a short knife.

Song Zheng withdrew again, feeling relieved. It seemed that the two big men did not want to rob them, but they just wanted to stun the two bookboys with incense and then take away the money.

Song Zheng slowly slipped towards his house again. When he was approaching the door of the house, he glanced at the neighboring house and saw that the door of Tianzi No. 1 was ajar, revealing a gap. Song Zheng couldn't help but smile to himself.

After all, these two people were half-assed, not professional at all, and they didn't even close the door. Suddenly, Song Zheng had an idea. These two big men were committing crimes downstairs, and they didn't see the packages on them. So, they came to rob them.

The silver must be placed in the room. Isn't this an opportunity? The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!

Without further ado, Song Zheng crept into Room No. 1. Although the room was quite dark, for a professional like Song Zheng, he could still roughly see the outline of the room. This was also thanks to Song Zheng’s visit to Tianzi.

I have visited Room No. 3 and Room 5 once, and I know that the furnishings of the rooms in Jinshan Inn are basically the same and relatively simple. There are two beds in each room, both of which are placed on the west wall of the room.

Against the east wall is a square table with two benches. Behind the door on the right side is a wooden frame with a clay pot on it, and on the left side is a cabinet where some clothes can be placed.

Song Zheng first touched the bed closest to the door. In order to prevent the other party from seeing the traces, he did not turn over the quilt and pillows, but carefully groped around and found nothing. He turned to the second bed and found it in the pillow.

On the side, Song Zheng found a package with a short knife placed next to it. Song Zheng touched the package and felt that there was a lump inside, which was hard. Judging from the shape, it was undoubtedly silver, and it was worth ten taels.

Ingots. Song Zheng wanted to carry the package directly, but he thought that there might be a mark on the other party's package. If it was discovered tomorrow, it would be dangerous. So, he put his hand in from the corner of the package and took out all six ingots of silver.

He dug it out. Song Zheng also felt a few taels of broken silver inside. He was not polite at the moment and put them all in his arms. Anyway, there was no name written on the silver, so it belongs to whoever has it.

After restoring everything to its original state, Song Zheng checked again and found that no traces were left. Then he slipped back to his room and waited quietly behind the door.

After a while, the two big men passed through the door and returned to Tianzi Room No. 1. Song Zheng slipped to the east wall again and put his ear against the wall. He only heard the "Thirteenth Brother"

"Brother Ninth, I didn't expect these two book boys to bring a lot of money. Each of them has more than ten taels of silver. We have made a small fortune this time."

Brother Jiu said, "Keep your voice down, you look so worthless. Haha, I didn't expect to succeed so easily. Now I can have a good sleep tonight."

The thirteenth brother smiled and said: "Yes, let's go to bed quickly, maybe we can have a good dream, and have a good time with Xiao Linglong in the dream."

Brother Jiu laughed and said nothing, and there was no sound in the room. Song Zheng smiled secretly and said, after all, I am not a professional, and I don't even know if I have lost my own things. I will have the opportunity to teach you a lesson.

After getting more than sixty taels of silver, Young Master Song was satisfied. He quietly locked the door, returned to bed, put the silver under the pillow, and fell asleep peacefully.

At dawn the next day, Song Zheng was awakened by a knock on the door. The waiter's voice sounded outside, "Sir, get up quickly. Something big has happened in the shop. Please get up quickly."

A big man discovered that the money was stolen?

What should I do? The store may ask for a search of the room. If the search is carried out, it is really difficult to explain. Even if he holds six ingots of silver in his arms, it will be discovered. Song Zheng looked at it while putting on his clothes.

The room was simply furnished, and there was no place to hide the money. However, Young Master Song reacted quickly. He looked up and found the beams, and then he had an idea. He pretended to be careless and replied: "It's not yet dawn.

What? What are you doing?" Then he jumped up, kicked off the table with his right toe, and hugged the beam with one hand. With the other hand, he took out the silver from his arms and put it on the table one by one.

Just like that, six ingots of silver settled on the beam.

Because it was a building, although the beams were not very high from the ground, they were quite close to the roof. After Song Zheng landed, he looked up and looked down. There was no trace of silver, so he felt relieved. He cleaned up the things on the table.

footprints, dusting off the body, and then yawning and opening the door.

I saw the waiter standing at the door with a sad face and said: "Young Master, did you throw anything into your room last night?" Song Zheng said impatiently: "I rested when I was tired from studying last night. I had nothing to do all night, so how could I throw anything away?

?”

The waiter said: "Young Master, you'd better check. The No. 2 room in the inn was stolen last night. It was the two book boys who came with the Young Master. They woke up this morning when your handlebars went to call the door.

, there was still a strange smell in the room. Then they found that their packages had been opened and the money was missing. So, the boss ordered me to go to each room to see if any guests had lost anything."

Only then did Song Zheng realize that it was Shi Zhuang and Bei Suo who discovered that the silver had been stolen. However, he still pretended to be surprised and hurriedly returned to his bed and pretended to look through it, and then touched it in his arms.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't lose anything here."

The waiter said: "Then could you please call your master and maid out of their room and ask them about it?"

Before Song Zheng could speak again, he heard a mixture of frightened and angry voices coming from room No. 1 of Tianzi: "Where has the money gone? What's going on?" Then, the door opened with a bang, and a man in his twenties appeared.

A young man and a big man in his thirties stepped out, both of them with sullen faces. The young man grabbed the waiter by the collar and shouted: "Our money has also been stolen, please pay for it quickly."

After all this fuss, the doors of several rooms in the store were opened. After all, Song Jue was an official. He took a step forward and shouted coldly: "What happened? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Noisy?"

Finally, everyone gathered in the foyer downstairs. Song Jue was an official, so everyone naturally asked him to make an idea. Song Jue first asked the owners of the two rooms. The two bookboys were naturally fine. The two people in Room No. 1 Tianzi

But the big man was squeaking and refused to tell the amount of money. He only said that it was a large sum of money. Song Jue had been a bookkeeper and knew the rules of hearing cases. He ordered the owner of the store to take the owner with him to the male guest's house.

They searched the room and asked the landlady to search Xiaoping and Ming'er's rooms. Of course, nothing was found. It was Song Jue's turn. In order to show his innocence, he insisted on searching his own room with the owner. The money Zhu brought was too much.

Quite a few, more than twenty taels. However, the owners of the two rooms said they were not theirs. One did not, and the other did not dare.

Despite this, the "Thirteenth Brother" among the two big men wanted to make trouble again, but was pulled by the other one and went back to his room. Shi Cunbao and Bei Leye were crying and looking at a loss. It was Song Xiao

Young Master Renyi immediately took out the five taels of broken silver he had picked up last night and gave them to Shi Bei and the other two, asking them to use them first. After they enroll in Mizhou, they would then send someone home to get them. Zhu asked about the five taels

As for the source of the silver, Song Zheng suggested that it was given by the Wu family. Naturally, Zhu didn't doubt it, but Ming'er, who knew Song Zheng's details well, gave him a strange look.

The snow outside has stopped. Although it has fallen here and there for two days, the snow is not too thick. It is only more than half a foot, and the carriage can still walk. In addition, the next town is only more than thirty miles away from here.

So Song Jue, who was in a hurry, left a letter to the store owner, asking him to explain the situation to the government, and then ordered everyone to pack their bags and continue on their way.

Before leaving, Song Zheng called Ming'er to his room, took the silver off the beam, and asked her to put it into the package. Seeing Ming'er's surprised look, Song Zheng whispered: "I'll have something else on the way."

Explain." Ming'er nodded knowingly.

The two carts left Huangya Town and headed north. Song Zheng and Qi'er were still walking. Shi Cunbao, who was exhausted yesterday and hadn't caught his breath yet, and who had just lost his money, hid in the cart.

Even Bei Leye had no intention of doing reasoning questions anymore and never got out of the car after getting in the car.

Song Zheng explained to Ming'er in a low voice what happened last night, and asked if he knew there was such an organization all over the country, similar to the Imperial City Division. Ming'er suddenly realized it and said, "I heard from the master that Huang Yuandu's subordinates

There is an organization, it seems called 'Dark Eagle', which is extremely powerful. However, the master often lives in the inner palace and does not know much about this organization." Song Zheng nodded and started thinking. (The next chapter will be posted at 19:00 today: Snow
