The Pheasant Essence is going to be a big monster

Fang Xing spoke excitedly, but Gu Tailai didn't express anything. He checked the door lock and touched the door frame.The door frame is embedded in the wall, flush with the wall, and covered with iron bars on the outside, with a door cover like an eaves on it to prevent rain.After looking at the door frame, he went to touch the wall next to him, and brushed his fingers over the iron bars wrapped around the outer edge of the wood. He stopped on the west side, then turned around, and looked at the main house.

Master Lin's family is living in this building, which is two floors high, with the main hall, study, and wing rooms at the bottom. Everyone lives on the second floor. There are four windows from west to east, still symmetrical with two rooms on one side.The houses below do not have windows on the rear side, but the second floor has square windows facing opposite each other for the sake of seeing the mountain view through the windows.Since the Lin Mansion looks like a square courtyard from the outside, only such a treasure house was built facing east on the top, just like putting on a hat and tilting eastward. The longest line is the distance from the westernmost room on the second floor to the treasure house, and the shortest line is the room on the easternmost second floor that is almost directly facing the treasure house.

Seeing Gu Tailai looking at those rooms, Fang Xing hurriedly explained: "From west to east, there are Mr. Jin, Young Master, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin, respectively."

When Ji Xiaocai heard about Mr. Jin, she couldn't help but move her head and looked towards the window.

Feeling the movement in Gu Tailai's arms, he lowered his head and looked at him as if asking questions. Ji Xiaocai hurriedly buried her head again, and began to hesitate in her heart whether to tell Gu Tai that Mr. Jin and him and Liu Yunfeng saved her yesterday. matter of relationship.

Zhou Zhaoji just turned around the two sides of the room and came back, asking, "Who is Mr. Jin?"

"It is the gentleman who was invited to teach our young master. He has been here for more than half a year. He will come during the Chinese New Year."

Gu Tailai asked, "Can I meet that Mr. Jin?"

Fang Xing rolled his eyes: "Brother Gu, do you have any ideas?"

Gu Tailai just snorted coldly, Fang Xing was making fun of himself, touched his nose and said, "Mr. Jin may be teaching the young master at this moment, I'll invite him to come over, you two wait a moment."

Seeing him walk out in a hurry, Zhou Zhaoji lowered his voice and asked Gu Tailai: "Brother, what do you think? Is it a human or a demon?"

Gu Tailai did not hesitate: "Nature is human."

"Oh?" Zhou Zhaoji said with a smile, "it seems that you and I see the same thing. If a monster steals treasures, it can be done in a leak-proof way without anyone noticing. You don't have to pick a rainy night to cover up your whereabouts, let alone in the dark. This row of muddy footprints left on the ground..."

Ji Xiaocai couldn't help interjecting and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that some monster deliberately set up a trick to trick everyone into thinking in the direction of people stealing?"

Zhou Zhaoji grinned and said, "Have you become smarter, Xiaocaiji? Indeed, it makes sense to set up puzzles, but I don't see the need to do so."

Seeing that Ji Xiaocai was still in a daze, Gu Tailai explained: "The one who steals is the demon, but the one who catches the thieves is a human being. To a demon, ordinary tolerances are nothing to fear, so it is superfluous to cast doubt."

Ji Xiaocai said: "But right now you and Zhou Daoist are the ones investigating this case?"

Zhou Zhaoji stretched out his hand to touch his head, and shouted: "You are so different, Xiaocaiji, you can think of this!"

Ji Xiaocai was very dissatisfied, Zhou Zhaoji always imagined how stupid he was, so she couldn't help secretly planning to become a big monster in the future, the first thing is to marry Gu Tailai, and the second thing is to fight with Zhou Zhaoji, so that He knows how good he is!

Zhou Zhaoji poked Ji Xiaocai's head and said, "Hey, Xiaocaiji, you're thinking something bad, you can tell by your eyes."

Ji Xiaocai hummed, and turned her head to ignore him.

Gu Tailai couldn't help smiling, and said: "Ten days ago we hadn't decided to enter Yuezhou City at all. It was accidental that we were involved in this matter, so there is no possibility of making a special arrangement for us."

Ji Xiaocai thought about it, and it was true.Then another question came to mind: "Since it was made by a human, how did he come in and how did he leave? Why did he leave a row of footprints on the ground? Could it be that he went out over the wall?"

Zhou Zhaoji said: "Hey, little rookie, this firewall is so high, ordinary people can't jump in and out, right?"

"How about climbing with a rope?"

"Then you have to throw the rope to a place where you can bind it before you can climb up. At this height, you can't go up by manpower. Even if you do, it will be very hard to climb up because of the heavy rain that day. , In the process of climbing over the wall, you will definitely rub the paint, and when you come down, you will step on the footprints, right?"

Ji Xiaocai lowered her head, feeling a little confused.

Gu Tailai patted his head: "What if it came in from the inside?"

Ji Xiaocai opened her eyes wide: "A thief inside?"

"That's right, the thief." Gu Tai said, "From the very beginning, it should be thought of as a thief. Whether the existence of the beads, the interval between night patrols, or the location of the treasure house, these are all only people from the Lin family. Or a secret that only those who have a close relationship with the Lin family can know."

Gu Tailai pointed it out to Ji Xiaocai: "There are scratches on the iron bar on the west side, it should have been hooked by something like an iron hook."

Zhou Zhaoji looked at the trace, then looked up at the main house, and rolled his eyes: "It should be possible to hook here from the window sill on the west side."

Seeing that they were talking about Mr. Jin's house, Ji Xiaocai couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and said, "Didn't you just say that when it rains at night, climbing ropes is not good for you?"

"Climbing up is indeed disadvantageous, but sliding down will not have much impact."

"Then...the row of footprints?"

Gu Tailai: "Footprints of escape, like this..." He walked backwards along the path and walked to the gate guarded by Ding Fengfeng. Ding Feng seemed a little surprised when he saw Gu Tailai walking backwards, but followed him with a hint of surprise. think.

"Understood? Little chicken?" Zhou Zhaoji asked.

"I don't understand." Ji Xiaocai said, "If that person slipped down from the room on the second floor and entered the yard, why didn't he go back along the road? This way, there would be no traces left, and people would not find out that the beads were stolen so quickly. gone."

"Because it's difficult to climb up..."

Gu Tailai returned and said, "And if you go back the same way, you won't be able to recover tools like ropes and iron claws."

Ji Xiaocai said "ah": "Then these footprints were not set up for layout, but for escape?"

"Smart." Zhou Zhaoji smiled with brows and eyes crooked, "The reason why I leave traces is because I have to."

"Then how did he escape?" Ji Xiaocai asked, "He took the rope and iron claws to the door, what's next?"

Zhou Zhaoji said: "That's a good question. I guess he backed up to the door, tied the rope around his waist, swung to the west wall, and then climbed back to Mr. Jin's room. But this method is not reliable, I'm afraid If the length of the rope is not well controlled, it will drag footprints on the ground.”

Ji Xiaocai looked upstairs, her eyes lit up: "If you came in and out from the old lady's room on the east side, maybe the thief didn't come down from Mr. Jin's room at all, but from this side, wouldn't the distance be closer? "

Gu Tai looked at Ji Xiaocai, his eyes were quite thought-provoking: "Xiao Cai, that's impossible."

"why?"

"The window of Mrs. Lin's house is indeed almost facing the treasure house, and the distance is very close, but because it is too close, it is not conducive to hooking the iron claws to the iron bars, because it cannot be used. Besides, the old man is very It's easy to wake up, it's too dangerous to go in and out of the old lady's room."

"Then... isn't it dangerous to go in and out of Mr. Jin's room?"

"What if Mr. Jin is the insider?"

"It's impossible!" Ji Xiaocai retorted Zhou Zhaoji in a low voice, "Mr. Jin is a good man!"

"How do you know? Have you met him?"

"I……"

Gu Tailai coughed suddenly, and the two looked towards the door in unison, and saw Jin Xuanyue walking towards them behind Fang Xing.

Fang Xing said: "This is Mr. Jin Xuanyue Jin, these two are Daoist Gu and Daoist Zhou."

Mr. Jin was still wearing a dark green robe, with a calm expression, looked at the two of them, saw Ji Xiaocai again, was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "I've seen Daoist Gu and Daoist Zhou."

Gu Tailai said, "Is that Mr. Jin? Let's investigate the disappearance of 'Pishui'."

Fang Xing didn't understand, so he asked, "Water off?"

Gu Tailai said: "The orb received by Mr. Lin is the most precious treasure of the Dongting Dragon Clan. It is called "Pishui". It was stolen from the Dragon Palace on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival and has not been found. , Dongting Lake may dry up.”

Fang Xing turned pale with shock: "There is such a big involvement!" For a moment, he didn't know what to do, and finally said, "This is a serious matter, and I have to report it to Mr. Lin."

Gu Tailai didn't stop him, as if he said the matter of "dispelling water" to his face, that's what he meant.

Fang Xing hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "So, let's go ahead and send Ding Feng if there is anything to do." Saying this, he left in a hurry.

Seeing Fang Xing leaving, Gu Tailai turned to Mr. Jin and said, "Please trouble Mr. Jin to take us into Mr. Jin's room to have a look."

Mr. Jin also seemed shocked, but he still said: "Please." He led a few people upstairs, Ding Feng was behind them, still took out the key tied with a rope from his waist, and locked the side door. Never slacking off for a moment.

Zhou Zhaoji took a look and said, "His key is really hard to steal."

Gu Tailai said: "It is because it is difficult to steal that we have to go in and out of the house."

Mr. Jin seemed to stop walking when he heard the words, and then continued to move forward.

This is Ji Xiaocai's second visit to this room, but she feels more uneasy than the first time.When Gu Tailai entered the room, he only looked around, went to the window, squatted down, looked at the masonry marks under the window sill, and indeed felt scratches and broken places, turned his head and asked, "How did this mark come from? "

Mr. Jin came over to look at it, thought about it, and shook his head.

Zhou Zhaoji asked: "Please tell me, where was Mr. Jin doing ten days ago, that is, on the night of July [-]?"

Mr. Jin had a general understanding, and asked: "Could it be that someone came in and out through my window, turned to the treasure house in the backyard, and stole "Pishui"?"

Gu Tailai grasped the flaws in his words and asked: "Mr. Jin also knows that the stolen one is 'Pishui'?"

Jin Xuanyue smiled: "Didn't the Taoist priest just say that?"

Gu Tailai snorted and said without asking, "That's right. Then Mr. Jin can be in this room around midnight."

Jin Xuanyue didn't know what to think of, smiled wryly, and then replied: "It's really a coincidence, I went out on the night of July [-]th, and didn't come back until noon on July [-]st. My lord, many brothers in Ding Huyuan also saw it when I went out."

Gu Tailai and Zhou Zhaoji looked at each other, Zhou Zhaoji asked: "When and why did Mr. Jin leave and where did he go?"

Jin Xuanyue replied: "It's the day of the dead father's death, so I went home to worship and went out at three o'clock that night."

"Mr. Jin is a local?"

"I'm half a local, my ancestral home is Jingyang, and now my home is in Xuanhe Lane in the middle of the city. My parents have both died since I was young, and there is no one at home now. I only go back to stay for one night on some sacrificial days. The house is usually free, so please A few neighbors are cleaning, if necessary, I can take the two of them to see."

Gu Qinlai pondered: "So, on the evening of July [-], Mr. Jin was always in his house in Xuanhe Lane?"

Jin Xuanyue said: "Exactly, when I worshiped my father that night, the neighbors also came to help, I should remember."

Zhou Zhaoji asked, "Mr. Jin, did you lock the door before going out?"

Jin Xuanyue thought for a while before saying: "Maybe it's not locked. The house is heavily guarded, and I don't have any important things in my house. Occasionally, my boss will come over to find a few books, so the door is not locked on weekdays, and it probably was not on that night." .”

In other words, as long as anyone enters the door of Lin's mansion, he can enter Jin Xuanyue's house.Even Ji Xiaocai understood that this time it must be an inside thief.

Just as he was thinking, hurried footsteps were heard at the door, Fang Xing came in and said, "Lord Lin is here."

A middle-aged man came in after him, his body and appearance were full of arrogance that he had been an official for several years, but he had a kind look on his face, and said: "You two are Daoist Gu and Daoist Zhou, can things make progress? ?” Looking at Jin Xuanyue again, “Why is Mr. Jin related to this matter?”

Gu Tailai seemed too lazy to talk to Mr. Lin, so Zhou Zhaoji exchanged a few words and said, "No, I just checked around."

Master Lin looked behind him, Fang Xing Zhiqu went to the door to watch the wind, and then looked at Jin Xuanyue.

Zhou Zhaoji said, "It's okay for Mr. Lin to speak up if he has something to say."

Mr. Lin wiped the sweat that was dripping from his forehead just now and said: "The stolen one is really a dragon treasure?"

Zhou Zhaoji said: "This is true. Now the entire Dongting Aquarium has mobilized to find this orb. If it is really lost, the consequences will be disastrous."

Mr. Lin said "Oops" and sat down on the chair: "So someone wants to harm me on purpose? I know that there must be a big problem with the foreigner, but everyone persuades me to accept the bead. How are you doing now..." Duo asked tremblingly, "The two priests are so powerful, please convey the news to Dongting Dragon Lord on your behalf, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Lin Fu, I was also killed by a traitor!" , almost bowed down.

Gu Tailai watched with cold eyes, and only asked: "How many people know about the fact that you took the orb?"

Mr. Lin panicked: "Except for my wife and mother, there are two nursing homes and housekeepers, Uncle Fu and Mr. Jin, no one should know about the rest..." After thinking for a while, he said, "By the way, Fang Xingfang arrested the head I also know that when he came to the mansion to report the capture of Jiang Yang's bandit, he met that foreigner."

Gu Tailai's eyes seemed to tremble slightly, and he asked again: "Master Lin, do you have the key to the treasure house?"

Lin Fu said: "Take it with you day and night." He rolled up his sleeves to show Gu Tai, the key was tied to his left wrist with a red string, the red string was very short, so the key was tightly attached to his left arm, imprinted There are red marks.

Gu Tai took a look, and suddenly asked: "I heard that Mr. Lin's left wrist was injured when he was young?"

Lin Fu was also a little stunned, and suddenly mentioned this matter, but he also replied: "Yes, I sprained my wrist when I was young, but now I have a problem, it hurts when it's raining and cloudy, and I'm not very flexible on weekdays."

Gu Tailai asked: "Then when it comes to this kind of time on weekdays, it's better to use soft things to cushion it?"

Lin Fu said: "I always have hand pillows in my house, filled with fine river sand, it will always be better to cushion them."

Gu Tailai said, "May I have a look at Mr. Lin's hand pillow?"

Lin Fu felt more and more strange, but quickly ordered Fang Xing to fetch it from his room.In a short while, Gu Tailai got the hand pillow, which was about half the length of the arm, filled with fine sand inside, and sewn with cloth on the outside, it was soft in the hand, and a slight press would leave a mark.

Gu Tailai asked Master Lin: "Master Lin's hand pillow is very new, did you just make it?"

Lin Fu was stunned: "I dropped one for no reason half a month ago, and this one is indeed new."

Gu Tai came to see Zhou Zhaoji, who had already realized it.

The shape of the key to the treasure house is printed on this hand pillow and rubbed down.

Lin Fu couldn't help being shocked when he thought about this: "So, did the thief have sneaked into this...my officer's side?"

Zhou Zhaoji smirked and said, "Not only that, maybe it's still there now!"

Lin Fu was frightened half to death by what he said, and collapsed on the chair, gasping for breath.

Ji Xiaocai felt that Mr. Lin was really timid, so she couldn't help being secretly amused, and looked at him with her head poking around, but Gu Tailai flicked her forehead lightly with her finger, and she turned her head back angrily.

Gu Tai said: "Master Lin, don't worry too much, I think that since the thief relied on this hand pillow to shape the key in Master Lin's hand, his identity would be easy to see through."

Lin Fu asked, "How do you say that?"

"Firstly, there are only a few people who know that Master Lin's mansion has collected treasures, and secondly, there are not many people who can get close to Master Lin's side to wait for an opportunity to get the hand pillow. Find it and ask.”

Lin Fu suddenly realized that he was about to speak to Fang Xing at the door, but he stopped abruptly. Looking at his color, he knew that Fang Xing had become suspicious, because Fang Xing was also the only one who knew Baozhu entered the house that day.

It was rare for Master Lin to condescend and say: "Everyone, please wait a moment." He left without looking at Fang Xing when he went outside the door. After a while, he came back with two servant girls.One of the two servant girls seemed to be a little older, and the other was younger. When they were brought in front of several people, they were a little scared and puzzled.

Gu Tailai's expression darkened, and the younger one was so frightened that he was about to cry.Ji Xiaocai really wanted to tell the girl that Gu Tailai was not a bad person, so she finally remembered to bear it.

Gu Tailai asked: "Are you two servant girls next to Mr. Lin?"

The older one went up to give a blessing and said: "The maidservant is called Wanyue, and her name is Xiaoqiu. They are both Mrs. Lin's personal maids. The maidservant is Mrs. Lin's dowry maid, and Xiaoqiu is the mansion of the five-year-old man."

Gu Tailai asked: "Master Lin lost a hand pillow half a month ago, do you know?"

Wan Yue was about to answer, but Gu Tailai's complexion sank, he patted the table and said, "Xiao Qiu, you are not a coward, you depend on the Lin family for food and clothing, you don't know how to be grateful, and you dare to steal Lord Lin's ancestral treasure! Don't hurry up! Come from the truth!"

Xiaoqiu was afraid for a long time, but now Gu Tailai slammed her coldly, her knees softened and she knelt down, twitching and saying: "Slave... I have never done it before, I dare not! I don't know what treasures... Lin... ...Master Lin and Mrs. Lin treat her slaves very well, how could slaves dare to..."

Zhou Zhaoji also chimed in and said, "You don't have to argue anymore, we have already investigated the matter. Only you two can get close to Mrs. Lin. Wan Yue has been with Mrs. Lin for many years, so naturally she is loyal, so it can only be you... ..."

Wan Yue was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward and said: "My lords, just listen to this servant, half a month ago my lord did lose a hand pillow, but this hand pillow is just an ordinary thing, how could it be related to a family heirloom!"

Zhou Zhaoji smiled and said: "You don't need to intercede for her, the pair of twisted silk dragon and phoenix gold bracelets hidden in the arm pillow were gifted by the late emperor and a treasure handed down from generation to generation by the Lin family. Somehow she found out and moved Evil thought."

Xiao Qiu wept endlessly: "I really don't know, I am not a slave, I really am not..."

Lin Fu knew what kind of tricks the two of them were singing, so his face darkened and he said: "Xiaoqiu, it's in vain that I treat you kindly, but you did such a thing! Come on, let's go, now we can only do business , you must be punished for a felony!" He shouted, "Come here, put Xiao Qiushou in prison."

When Xiao Qiu heard the words, she fell limply on the ground and cried, "My lord, it's really not Xiao Qiu, it's really not!"

Hearing the summons, Fang Xing opened the door and came in. Seeing the scene in front of him, he seemed a little puzzled, but he suppressed himself and dragged Xiaoqiu who refused to leave while hugging the legs of the table.While pulling, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Wan Yue suddenly yelled: "Don't grab her!" The room fell silent for a moment, "Don't grab her." She said, kneeling down with a low eyebrow, "My lord, the fact of the hand pillow is not related to Xiaoqiu, it is The servant took it."

Lin Fu was taken aback: "Wan Yue, why did you help Xiao Qiu to such an extent?"

Wan Yue said in a low voice but clearly: "Wan Yue took the hand pillow, but Wan Yue really didn't know that there was a treasure hidden in the hand pillow. , and put it back, then used it for Lord Lin, and then took it out to give Wanyue ten taels of silver. Wanyue was only used as a small hand pillow, so it shouldn't be a problem, and it happened to be short of money in those few days, so..."

Gu Tailai said to Lin Fu: "Master Lin seems not to have noticed that the hand pillow was missing before, maybe the thief had tampered with the stuffing in the hand pillow, put something easy to shape like soft wax, and then took it Master Lin will use it." He lowered his body and asked, "Who bought this hand pillow from you?"

Wan Yue seemed to be still hesitating, Lin Fu said angrily: "Who the hell! You still don't tell!" As he spoke, he slapped Wan Yue's face with a slap, causing her to stagger and crooked.

Gu Tailai frowned slightly: "Wan Yue, how long are you going to protect her?"

Wan Yue gritted her teeth and said, "It's... Ding Huyuan."

Lin Fu said "Oops", never expecting this answer, upset and said to the other party, "Take the two of them down first, lock the moon in the firewood room, and be careful not to be seen by others!"

Fang Xing took his order and went down with two servant girls.

Lin Fu patted the table and said: "I never thought it would be Ding Feng, a dog slave. It's in vain that I treat him well, so he repays me like this!"

Gu Tai said: "In this way, things make sense. Ding Huyuan has a key to the side door, and he works as an errand in Mr. Lin's house. As long as he can get the key to the treasure house, he can steal the treasure house without anyone noticing. The treasure was stolen, which can also explain how the thief escaped. The footprints on the ground are the false appearance of outside thieves and even demons intruded by Ding Huyuan. It is nothing if they are not seen through. The scratches under Mr. Jin’s window sill and on the wall of the treasury will be useful, but unfortunately, he didn’t count, Mr. Jin had something to go out that night.”

Gu Tailai turned to ask Jin Xuanyue: "I remember Mr. Jin said just now that when you went out on the night of July [-], you were seen by Ding Huyuan's brothers, that is to say, Ding Huyuan didn't know about it at the time. Mr. Jin left the Lin Mansion?"

Jin Xuanyue thought for a while and said, "It's true that I didn't meet Ding Huyuan on the way out, because he was not on duty at the time, but maybe someone said to listen to him."

Zhou Zhaoji laughed and said, "Now it seems that no one has told him about it."

Lin Fu said angrily: "This officer will send an order to arrest the inner ghost and put him in prison, and have him tried for the first time!"

Gu Tailai said: "Wait a minute!"

Zhou Zhaoji added: "My senior brother means that the thing is still in Ding Feng's hands, if he grabs it like this, I'm afraid it will scare the snake."

Lin Fu said bitterly: "I don't believe that he won't recruit under torture!"

Gu Tailai said without changing expression, "This move is too risky, Dongting Dragon Lord and Pindao had made an appointment for three days, and now it's the third day, if he doesn't come to a conclusion at noon tomorrow, he will We must use all the strength of the Shui Clan to flood Yueyang City!"

Lin Fu turned pale with shock: "This, this, what should I do!"

Gu Tai said: "Master Lin, please rest assured, according to what the poor Taoist has seen, the treasure must still be in your residence!"

Lin Fu was surprised: "What... what? The Taoist priest means that I have searched for several days in this city in vain, and the treasure has never left my house?"

"That's right." Gu Tailai walked to the window and looked at the courtyard behind, "The "Pishui" is the most precious treasure of the dragon clan. It will shine brightly through the clothes on the body. Only when it is placed in a special treasure box can it be can hide its brilliance..."

Lin Fu muttered to himself: "That's true. I originally wanted to replace the broken nanmu box, but once I put it in another box, the brilliance of the orb can't be covered at all, so I still keep it in the original box. Then The orb is not small, and the box is as big as an adult's palm, but it is not impossible to hide it in your arms and take it out..."

Zhou Zhaoji said: "It's a coincidence. Ding Feng has been stealing "Pishui" for a long time, but he must have never been sure when to do it, and he has been thinking about how to keep himself out of the matter. July [-] On the evening of the [-]th, when the sudden rain came, Ding Feng had an idea and made up his mind to do it. It is also because he has not lost his conscience. Although he designed to frame Mr. Jin, he only wanted to help himself escape. It would be best not to go this far. This is why there is the design of footprints that have gone and never returned. It is only to create signs of ghosts stealing, and in order to let people find this footprint as soon as possible, so as not to appear negligent. He deliberately shouted and caught the thief. Lord Lin is here."

Lin Fu was dumbfounded: "That is to say, the orb was on Ding Feng's body at that time?"

"It may be on the body, or it may be hidden in other places." Zhou Zhaoji said, "It is probably hidden, and it is too dangerous to carry on the body. If I am not wrong, after Master Lin discovered that the treasure was stolen, he should have taken the treasure from the top to bottom of the Lin family. I searched it once, but every time I go out of the house, I have to search it."

Lin Fu only knew how to nod his head.

Gu Tai said: "So the real object is still in the mansion, but only Ding Feng knows where it is hidden! Just now Pindao mentioned the origin of "Pishui" in the backyard, and Ding Huyuan must have heard it. My lord let the wind go out, just tell him to listen, the Dragon Clan will flood Yueyang early in the morning, this matter is very important, presumably he will take the risk and take out the treasure tonight. And you and I can ambush the mansion and wait for the opportunity to catch the thief!"

Lin Fu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." Just as he was about to call out, he thought for a while and lowered his voice, "Is Fang Xing credible?"

Gu Tailai asked, "Why did Lord Lin say such a thing?"

Lin Fu said: "Fang Xing also knows that there are treasures hidden in the government's mansion, and he often goes in and out of the mansion to ask for instructions on how to deal with the case."

Gu Tailai asked: "On the evening of July [-]th, Master Fang was also in the Lin residence?"

Lin Fu thought for a while and said, "After the accident that night, the whole government was on alert. Fang Xing did come here because he was on duty at the Yamen that night."

Gu Tailai said: "It's normal, Mr. Fang must have been searched when he left."

Lin Fu said, "I've searched, but I haven't found anything."

Gu Tailai said: "That's it, if Mr. Fang is not trustworthy, he would not have asked the poor Taoist brothers to help."

Lin Fu replied: "The Taoist priest is right, I will order the subordinates to arrange it." Then he looked at Jin Xuanyue, "Mr. Jin, please keep this matter secret."

Jin Xuanyue didn't know what she was thinking. Master Lin said it twice before he realized it.Master Lin also left worried, and he could tell by his expression that he still didn't believe in Fang Xing.

Gu Tailai waited for Master Lin to leave, then he cupped his hands to Jin Xuanyue and said: "Then, the brothers and sisters of the poor Taoist will not bother Mr. Jin anymore." He left the room with Ji Xiaocai and Zhou Zhaoji.

After walking out of the room, Ji Xiaocai dared to speak: "Master Daoist, I think this is a bit strange."

Gu Tai said, "Oh, what's wrong?"

Ji Xiaocai thought for a while and said, "That man named Wan Yue recruited too quickly."

Zhou Zhaoji said: "That's because my senior brother told her that what she stole was a royal treasure, and the crime can be death. I think that girl still has a conscience, and she can't see others dying in vain."

Ji Xiaocai said, "I still think it's a bit strange, I always think it's too coincidental."

Zhou Zhaoji said, "Where is the coincidence?"

Ji Xiaocai couldn't think of it, and said, "I don't know, I just think it's a coincidence."

Gu Tai said, "It's really a coincidence." His eyes were full of meaning, but he turned and said, "It's been a whole day, go get something to eat, and prepare to catch the thief!"
