The next morning, Chen Haoyuan came to the big house where he lived before to inquire about the situation.
The rebellion has ended long ago, but the owner of the courtyard still has not returned. After the baptism of war, the courtyard no longer has the prosperity it once had. Now living in the courtyard is a relatively young couple. I heard that these two couples are the owners of the courtyard. They are distant relatives of the owner. They live here because the owner of the compound asked them to help look after the house.
After inquiring about the situation, Chen Haoyuan and the others returned to the inn. After returning to the inn, they gathered together and discussed countermeasures based on the current situation.
Guo Huaiyi suggested that everyone dress up as merchants and live in the compound, and then find opportunities to dig out the jewelry buried in the yard. After hearing this, several other people thought this idea was good, but merchants must have goods, otherwise people would be suspicious. .
As for these goods, it's easy to handle. Just go to the store tomorrow to buy some cheap goods. Chen Haoyuan thinks it's better to spend as little money as possible. It's best not to spend money. The poor people in the village can hardly afford to eat. Chen Haoyuan doesn't want to go out this time. I didn't bring much money.
At this time, someone suggested that if you really have no money, you can put some straw in the sack as goods. Anyway, no one will know what is inside.
On this day, a businessman brought a cart of goods and was waiting for the buyer at the entrance of the alley. The businessman had agreed with the buyer on the price and transaction location in advance. There were not many goods to be traded this time, so the businessman did not bother anyone else. People came with goods.
At this time, a drunkard happened to pass by. The drunkard was holding a jug in his hand and was already stumbling around after drinking. He was so drunk that the drunkard was still holding the jug and drinking while walking. At this moment, a money bag suddenly fell from the drunkard's body. , the drunkard didn't notice and was still walking and drinking while minding his own business.
This scene happened to be seen by a businessman in the alley. The businessman saw the drunkard's wallet dropped on the ground and it seemed to contain a lot of money. The businessman looked around and wanted to take it for himself. The businessman was afraid of being discovered by others, so he took it first. The money bag was quietly stepped on under his feet. After the drunkard had gone away, the businessman raised his feet and picked up the money bag from the ground.
The businessman opened his money bag and counted that there was exactly one hundred pennies in it, which was not a small amount. The businessman was very pleased with the money he picked up. He thought that he was just a small businessman, and this hundred pennies was worth a lot. One day’s income.
Not long after, the buyer came, and the merchant took him to the carriage to inspect the goods. At this time, the merchant was surprised to find that the goods in his carriage were missing. The merchant was so anxious that he didn't know why his goods suddenly disappeared.
When the buyers who came to harvest saw that the merchant's goods were gone, they said goodbye and left, leaving the merchant alone. The merchant thought that he had been busy in the past few months. When he thought of this, the merchant sat on the ground and wailed!
In fact, all this was done by Chen Haoyuan and his group. As mentioned earlier, Chen Haoyuan and his group wanted to pretend to be businessmen, and then used the excuse to stay overnight in the compound where the treasure was buried, and then dug out the treasure buried in the yard at night.
Since you want to pretend to be a businessman, you must have goods. Qingfeng Village is not rich now. Chen Haoyuan didn't bring much money with him when he came out, so Chen Haoyuan thought that he could spend as little money as possible. Someone suggested that anyone in the shop buy something cheap. The goods will be fine.
Some people also suggested putting some straw in the sacks as cargo so that others would not be able to see it. However, Guo Huaiyi felt that if you want to pretend, you should pretend to be more realistic. If someone discovers it, it will be a big loss.
When Guo Huaiyi was wandering on the street, he spotted the businessman just now, so Guo Huaiyi gave Chen Haoyuan a bad idea. Although the idea was a bit bad, Guo Huaiyi was willing to risk it for Qingfeng Village. Then everyone started to act separately according to Guo Huaiyi's arrangement.
In the first step, Tang Fei pretended to be a drunkard to attract the attention of the businessman. Tang Fei tried a little trick and the greedy businessman was fooled. At this time, Shi Lei and Chen Bingsheng climbed over the alley to the carriage where the businessman was loading, and turned the carriage over. The goods were moved out one after another, while Chen Haoyuan and Guo Huaiyi took over the goods handed over to them on the other side of the alley.
After doing all this, Chen Haoyuan and the others moved the stolen goods to the carriage, and then everyone rushed to the destination. Chen Haoyuan did not expect that Tang Fei's performance as a drunkard just now was pretty good. Now Tang Fei still has a smell of alcohol on his body. gas.
In the evening, Chen Haoyuan and his group came outside the compound. Looking at the compound where they used to live, Chen Haoyuan also felt emotional. There are many things in this world that are beyond his control.
Chen Haoyuan asked Shi Lei to knock on the door. The man who opened the door was the man living in the yard. When the man saw Chen Haoyuan and the others, he asked, "What do you do for them?"
At this time, Guo Huaiyi replied that we were passing businessmen, but it was already getting late and the nearby inns were full, so he had no choice but to come to your house to stay overnight. The man was a little reluctant when he heard that Chen Haoyuan and others were here to stay.
Upon seeing this, Guo Huaiyi immediately took out one tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to the man, and then said to the man that we will stay for one night and then leave. These are our accommodation money. When the man saw the money, he immediately became very happy. After getting the money, the man Chen Haoyuan and the others were enthusiastically invited into the courtyard.
After entering the yard, the man quickly arranged a rest room for Chen Haoyuan and the others. Chen Haoyuan and Guo Huaiyi slept in one room, Shi Lei and Chen Bingsheng slept in one room, and Tang Fei slept in a room alone.
After arranging all this, the man asked his daughter-in-law to prepare foot-washing water for Chen Haoyuan and the others. The woman was a little reluctant at first and complained about the man taking Chen Haoyuan and the others to stay at home.
The man took out the one tael of silver given by Guo Huaiyi. The woman was as happy as the man when she saw the money. "Guaiguai" gave her one tael of silver for just one night. The woman now hopes that Chen Haoyuan and the others can stay a few more nights. .
Then, the woman went to boil foot-washing water for Chen Haoyuan and the others. After the foot-washing water was boiled, the man brought it to Chen Haoyuan and the others. After Chen Haoyuan and the others washed their feet, they went to bed.
In the middle of the night, Chen Haoyuan and his group got up and got together. Chen Haoyuan came to the yard and found the place where the jewelry was buried based on his previous memories. Shi Lei and Chen Bingsheng found two shovels and started digging, while Tang Fei stood guard in front. .
After a while, Shi Lei and Chen Bingsheng finally dug out the box containing the jewelry. At this moment, several cat meows suddenly came from the front. This was a signal sent to everyone by Tang Fei, who was standing guard in front. Chen Haoyuan Several people hid quickly after hearing it.
Everyone hid in the dark and took a look. It turned out that a man from this family came out to go to the latrine in the middle of the night. The man came to the backyard and heard something moving in the backyard. However, after hearing a few meows, he thought it was a wild cat and stopped. Taking it seriously, the man went back to his room and continued to sleep after going to the latrine.
After Chen Haoyuan saw the man go back, he moved the dug out treasure box back into the house. Others followed him into the house. After arriving at the house, Chen Haoyuan couldn't wait to open the treasure box. After opening the treasure box, Chen Haoyuan looked at it through the moonlight outside the window. The jewelry in the treasure chest is still there.
Looking at a box of sparkling jewelry, Chen Haoyuan felt happy. Others were also very happy after seeing these jewelry. Chen Haoyuan thought that Qingfeng Village was saved. After confirming that the jewelry was still there, everyone returned to their respective homes. The room continued to sleep.
