I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Chapter 128 Going and Returning

"From the scene, it seems there are three thieves," Han Long said.

"Only three people? It's not that you don't trust Captain Han, but my servant said that he saw four or five people at that time?" Zhao Zhongtian said from the side.

"Hmph! Are you questioning our judgment, Boss Zhao?" Han Long said unhappily.

"Captain Han is right. There are indeed only three people's footprints at the scene!" Zhuge Zhengwo stood up and said.

Everyone looked over, and Zhuge Zhengwo said, "The footprints in the yard are messy and indistinguishable, but there are only three footprints in the house that are very special."

After saying that, Zhuge looked at Han Long. Han Long glanced at him, took the good intention from Zhuge Zhengwo, and said, "There are a lot of signs of rummaging in the house, which is why the servants heard the noise. I guess it is very likely that these people originally planned to make a quick buck and then escape.

Their movements were quite large, and they did not intentionally cover up their footprints. Also, because the store in front was under construction and there was a lot of dust in the yard, they brought the dust into the house and stepped on it everywhere!

Comparing the traces on the floor, cabinets, windowsills, and flower stools, it is preliminarily determined that there are only three people, and the exact number needs to be determined in detail...Does Master Wen have any suspects, or has he offended anyone recently?"

Wen Liang shook his head directly, "I just came here not long ago, and I don't know many people. I have made a lot of friends, but I can't even talk about enemies."

Zhao Zhongtian suddenly interrupted and said, "Could it be that Brother Wen has been targeted by someone in the underworld..."

"What does Boss Zhao mean by this? Why would people in the martial arts world target Master Wen?" Tie Shou asked immediately after hearing this.

Zhao Zhongtian glanced at Wen Liang, and seeing him nod indifferently, he continued, "Young Master Wen brought a lot of rare treasures from foreign countries, and any one of them is worth a fortune. Many people know this. So I guess, maybe this is a dragon from across the river who wants to take advantage of Brother Wen!"

These words made everyone present shift their attention to Wen Liang again. Everyone originally felt that Wen Liang had a unique aura, and after hearing Zhao Zhongtian's flattery, they felt that Wen Liang was even more mysterious.

With such wealth, how could he settle down in this commercial street? Not only that, he didn't even have a servant to protect him!

Seeing everyone looking at him strangely, Wen Liang shook his head and smiled, "I just arrived not long ago, and even Rou'er just followed me. I just happened to want to recruit some servants recently, but I didn't expect such trouble to happen tonight!"

"Brother Wen, since you have so many treasures, you must be more careful, especially in the market town, where there are all kinds of people and it is difficult to distinguish between the scoundrels. You should recruit servants to protect your house as soon as possible to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of you!"

Han Long's words were full of sarcasm, and everyone present understood what was going on. They all knew that he was referring to Zhuge Zheng and me, but no one responded.

Zhuge Zhengwo didn't take it seriously at all. He remained calm and composed, as if he really didn't hear any hidden meaning.

"Master Wen, Brother Zhao, I want to take those servants back and ask them to describe what they saw and draw the appearance of the thieves so that we can post a wanted notice!" Han Long said with a fist salute.

"Then I'll trouble you, Captain Han. It's hard for you to make this trip!" Wen Liang said with a bow. "After this is over, Brother Zhao and I will thank you for inviting Captain Han. I hope you won't refuse!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Han Long led his men away. Zhuge Zhengye did not stay any longer and bowed to say goodbye, "We will not disturb you any more. Our Shenhou Mansion is also nearby. If you have any problems, you can come to our mansion to find us! Regarding the thieves, I will let Tie Shou and others secretly patrol to see if there are any Guojianglongs here recently. Once there is any news, I will send someone to inform Master Wen!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuge! Please wait for a moment!" Wen Liang bowed in return, turned and walked into the house, and when he came out he was still holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Mr. Zhuge, you have troubled me to come all this way. Just a few drinks are not a token of respect!"

As soon as Zhuge Zhengwo saw the transparent blue wine bottle with gold powder dotted in the bottle body, he could tell at first glance that it was very different from the current wine jars. Words such as noble, elegant, and unique flashed through his mind. Regardless of the quality of the wine in the bottle, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the bottle alone is worth a thousand gold!

"Is this why the thieves came?" Zhuge Zhengwo did not refuse and took it with both hands to examine it.

At this time, only Wen Liang, Rou'er, Zhao Zhongtian and a few people from Zhuge Zhengwo's side were left in the courtyard. There was no one else, so they watched without any scruples.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhongtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that Brother Wen hid the wine well and the thieves didn't get it! Then it would be easy for him... even if it's just one bottle!

"Maybe, there's nothing else worth others' coveting~" Wen Liang shook his head slightly.

"Such a novel thing is really irresistible...then I would be disrespectful to refuse it. I am so ashamed!" Zhuge Zhengwo quickly handed the bottle of wine to Tieshou behind him without any embarrassment.

When Tie Shou saw Zhuge casually handing him such a precious thing, he took it in a panic and held it carefully. He had just heard that this bottle of wine was worth a thousand gold!

After seeing Zhuge Zheng and his group off, Boss Zhao also said goodbye and left, "Brother Wen, I'll come back another day to apologize, but this wine matter..."

"Come and pick it up tomorrow!"

"Thank you very much. I am deeply grateful. If you need me any help in the future, please let me know, Brother Wen!"

After seeing everyone off, Wen Liang grinned inexplicably. Rouer beside him felt strange when she noticed it.

"Why are you laughing, sir? Shouldn't you be worried when thieves come?"

Wen Liang shook his head, "It's okay... Let's not talk about this anymore. Go clean up the bedroom first. Don't come out casually after you go to bed, no matter what noise you make!"

Rou'er guessed that something might happen tonight, but since Wen Liang didn't say anything, she didn't want to ask. A maid should have the awareness of a maid.

Although I am not a maid, I am more like a concubine~

After Rouer had only cleaned up the bedroom, Wen Liang let her go to bed and they would deal with the rest tomorrow.

Wen Liang himself was sitting on a rattan chair outside the bedroom, with a pot of hot tea at hand. He took a sip from time to time, looking at the starry sky, feeling very comfortable.

After such a long time, the water in the pot was almost gone. Wen Liang couldn't help but sit up and said to the empty yard, "I have finished my tea. If you don't come out, I will go to bed first."

After he finished speaking, no one showed up. Wen Liang shook his head. The people in the dark were really careful. But they didn't know that they would be exposed under his mental scan!

Wen Liang stood up and said, "You really won't come out? If I go to bed and you disturb me again, I will be in a bad mood when I wake up!"

After a few breaths, Wen Liang was about to turn around when three figures suddenly appeared on the roof!

Wen Liang turned his back to them with a slight smile on his face.

At this time, the Shenhou Mansion.

Everyone in the mansion was sitting together, even the wife of the owner of Zuiyue Tower was there. Everyone was sitting around the table, looking at the strange wine bottle in the middle of the table.

"It's really a rare thing! I've never seen such a strange wine bottle. It looks so noble!" Jiao Niang said first.

"I wonder what the drinks in there are like?" Dayong said from the side.

"Just try it and you'll know!" said the big wolf.

"You're stupid! What if there's poison in it? You're so inexperienced!" Dingdang retorted.

"Well, the wine must be non-toxic, otherwise that gentle and kind Master Wen would not have given it to us so openly." Zhuge Zhengwo said.

"But I went to the inner room and looked carefully, and it doesn't look like there is a secret room at all! Besides, the thieves have already searched it thoroughly before. If there was a secret room, it would have been found long ago!" Tie Shou expressed his doubts.

"You've noticed it, too," Zhuge Zhengwo stroked his pigtail beard, "I've just arrived, and yet Boss Zhao has praised me so much, and even lowered his attitude so low. It's not easy!"

"Boss Zhao's father-in-law is a general of the city defense army and has considerable power. It seems that this Master Wen is truly extraordinary!" Wuqing, who was speaking, was wearing thin clothes at the moment, staring at the wine bottle on the table, as if he had seen Wen Liang before.

"Yes, such a strange person is willing to live in seclusion and cause trouble. I wonder what his purpose is..."

While they were discussing, a crisp sound like firecrackers suddenly came from outside!
