Feng Lan curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly and left.

She had to go visit other places and listen to what was going on with the Lin family.

If there really are other players and they have committed crimes many times in the capital, then Feng Lan's plan may be affected.

Chapter 100 [Feudal Dynasty] 18

"You mean the Lin family? They've been in a lot of turmoil lately!"

"Hey, if other families say they were robbed and lost their money, I believe them. But the Lin family, those prodigal sons lost everything a long time ago. I think they're just throwing the blame on the thieves for the sake of face! All those valuable calligraphy and paintings in their house have been pawned. Where is the money left?"

"Just last month, their second son owed a large sum of money at a gambling house. After all, his father was once a third-rank official, but now he's in such a state... Really, if Master Lin knew about this, he'd probably crawl from his grave in anger!"

"Not only that, yesterday, I saw them send people to the Dali Temple again, crying and shouting that they wanted to catch the thief. They said they stole at least 10,000 taels of silver from the family! There were also a lot of valuable calligraphy and jewelry!"

"Wow, this is incredible! The pawnshop has almost become the home of this Third Young Master. He even has valuable calligraphy and paintings by famous artists at home? Even Mr. Lin's calligraphy and paintings have been pawned by this unfilial son, right?"

"Poor mother Lin, at her age, still has to work hard for these unfilial sons. Such a good family, but not a single one of them is capable. Sigh!"

Feng Lan changed her clothes, combed her hair into a bun, and put some melon seeds and peanuts in her pocket while listening to the chatter of the women washing clothes. There was a small canal next to her, and because there was a big tree beside the canal, many people came here to enjoy the cool air.

Judging from everyone's chats and gossip, most people don't believe that the Lin family really lost anything. They think that the family is crying "stop thief", or that they are pushing the losses of recent years onto this notorious thief in the capital for the sake of face.

After all, in the past ten years, this thief has attacked almost every year. In the third year, the Dali Temple said that the thief was caught and beheaded, but the same thing happened again after that. The Dali Temple has arrested four gangs.

However, in recent years, there have still been cases of wealthy families being robbed. Because of this, the top leader of the Dali Temple has been replaced many times, and it has become a famous hot position in the capital.

Feng Lan listened and felt that the player who took action first was indeed caught. Later, other players should have imitated the crime, with new players imitating old players, or like what she encountered today, several groups of people worked together to commit the crime, some were caught, and some escaped.

After all, ten thousand taels of gold is not a small number. If you follow the normal process, it may take fifty years, let alone ten years, to save up the money.

Feng Lan pretended to be a newcomer and asked a few questions. She also distributed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts to everyone, and immediately received enthusiastic responses from the group of aunts. Each of them spoke one sentence, and under Feng Lan's effective responses of shocked "Wow", "Is this true?", "Oh my God", and "That's too much", they started talking at once and told everything they knew about what had happened over the years.

Feng Lan had a vague guess from what had happened over the years that this group of people must have roots in the capital, and even had local NPCs to support them.

Otherwise, sometimes the things they steal include other things besides money. How do they sell the stolen goods?

After all, the wealthy families usually keep records of their household items and jewelry. Some valuable jewelry even has the craftsman's mark on it. Especially those given by the emperor, which are things with names on them. Ordinary pawnshops will not accept them. After all, pawning items given by the emperor is a capital crime.

If caught, both the pawner and the collector will be killed.

If Feng Lan had gone to the emperor to ask for money as planned, combined with what had happened in recent years, it would have been hard not to associate her with those elusive thieves who specialized in stealing money. Her so-called miracles would have become proof of her ability to steal.
