"You are the third housekeeper of the Xu Mansion. You can't even get close to him because of your status, so there must be something big going on here." Ren Yingying said with a frown.
"Chu Liuxiang is known as the commander-in-chief of thieves. He has never failed to steal something. No one can escape his eyes even if he is trying to spread suspicion. Instead of spending so much time on spreading guard manpower, it would be better to use all the guards. The hit was at one point, they couldn’t have known this, could they have done this..."
Ren Yingying frowned and thought, but at this moment, on the roof tiles, a black figure quietly swept away.
. . . . . .
On the bright moon, the flower hall of Xu Mansion is brightly lit.
In the flower hall, several people sat down in order. The person sitting at the main seat was an old man wearing brocade clothes.
The old man's beard and hair are all white, and his body is slightly blessed. At this time, his face is quite dark, and his brows are furrowed. This man is none other than Xu Guangyuan, the master of the Xu Mansion, the prefect of Luoyang.
On his lower left hand, there is a middle-aged man sitting. The man is wearing a six-door headcatcher costume, a white robe, and two stainless steel judge pens hanging from his waist. His body is upright. He is sitting upright at this moment, with a calm face. This man It was Ke Zhengtong, the chief arrester of the six gates of Luoyang City, who ordered the death penalty.
Ke Zhengtong held the tea in his hand and sipped it lightly. At the same time, he looked at the old man sitting opposite him with his eyes closed in peace.
The old man is the same as Xu Zhifu. He is dressed in gorgeous clothes, but unlike Xu Zhifu's old face, the old man has a childish face, a rosy complexion, and a plump face. The temples on both sides are slightly bulging. At first glance, he is an accomplished master of the outside world. .
The old man sat upright on the right side of the table, closing his eyes to calm down. The two yellow gold gallbladders in his hands were rubbing back and forth, which was particularly eye-catching.
But at this time, everyone's attention was not on the old man's pair of golden gallbladders, but on a piece of paper.
"I heard that there is a white jade Guanyin in your residence. It was carved by skilled hands. It is elegant and elegant. I am very much yearning for it. Tonight, I am going to step on the moon to get it. I have always asked you to love the people like your son, so I will not make my return in vain."
"Dad, this seems to be a greeting card from Chu Liuxiang. There is no name on this card. It only has a faint scent of tulips, as the rumors say."
After reading the letter in his hand, Wang Boyong couldn't help but frown, and whispered to the old man beside him who had his eyes closed in peace.
The handsome thief leaves a fragrance in the night, and his reputation spreads all over the world!
As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. With Chu Liuxiang's current reputation, even the old man couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes.
The person who just read the letter was Wang Boyong from Luoyang Jindaomen, Wang Yuanba's eldest son, and one of the main helpers hired by Magistrate Xu today.
The Golden Sword Wang family is a powerful force in Luoyang, and the contemporary head of the family, Wang Yuanba, is known as the "Invincible Golden Sword" and has the title of the hero of Zhongzhou.
Of course, that was all more than ten years ago. In the past ten years, Wang Yuanba has rarely been seen walking around in the world, so no one knows how much strength this old man who is known as the "Invincible Golden Sword" still has. .
Is it worthy of the name? Or does it live up to its name? Ke Zhengtong is very interested in knowing this.
Wang Yuanba stopped rubbing the two gold bladders back and forth in his hand, briefly glanced at the letter Wang Boyong had delivered to him, and then looked at Ke Zhengtong opposite, who had been quietly sizing him up.
Looking at the old man's eyes, Ke Zhengtong nodded gently and smiled and said hello.
Wang Yuanba also smiled heartily when he saw this, and nodded lightly in return.
After the two foxes, one middle and one old, said hello to each other, Wang Yuanba turned his attention to Magistrate Xu who was sitting on the main seat.
Seeing the somewhat sad look on Magistrate Xu's face, Wang Yuanba put away the two golden gallbladders in his hands, cupped his hands towards Magistrate Xu and said:
"Sir, please rest assured. Although Chu Liuxiang is famous, but with Ke Baotou sitting here, he will definitely come back in vain this time."
Hearing Wang Yuanba's comfort, Magistrate Xu nodded slightly in response. As the Wang family was a powerful local in Luoyang, even he had to give him the face he deserved, not to mention that he was the helper he invited this time.
At the same time, Magistrate Xu also looked at the calm and composed Ke Zhengtong, looking at Ke Zhengtong's calm and composed appearance.
"Have you made all arrangements, Captain Ke?"
"Master Qi, everything has been arranged. A dragnet has been set up around the area. Not even a mosquito can fly in." Ke Zhengtong answered confidently.
"But sir, this Chu Liuxiang has a great reputation. In addition to his superb qinggong, this person is also very good at the art of disguise. In view of his humble position and for the sake of safety, we might as well place this white jade Guanyin in this hall, and at the same time order a ban. When the servants come in and out, Mr. Wang will be here to take charge. Even if Chu Liuxiang is extremely capable, there is no way he can successfully steal in front of everyone. And when the time is over, Chu Liuxiang will definitely retreat on his own initiative, then This crisis can be solved without breaking it."
Ke Zhengtong looked at Magistrate Xu, and Wang Yuanba also looked at Magistrate Xu. They were all very interested in this white jade Guanyin. What kind of treasure could attract Chu Liuxiang's attention.
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Xu nodded and thought deeply. Ke Zhengtong was right. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Magistrate Xu also waved his hand and gave instructions to the housekeeper beside him.
After a while, a large box that was as tall as one person was carried up. Looking at such a huge box, everyone's eyes were attracted. Even the Wang family, which has a large business, was shocked.
As the box opened, a tall adult statue of Guanyin appeared in front of them.
The quality of jade is natural, gentle and friendly, the Dharma is solemn, and the compassion is universal. This white jade Guanyin statue can be identified by a famous artist at a glance. Although everyone here is not a jade expert, this lifelike Guanyin statue, even ordinary people know that it is the work of a famous artist. A unique treasure that is rare to see in a century.
Seeing everyone's shocked eyes, Magistrate Xu's face was filled with glory. He chuckled and explained:
"This white jade Guanyin statue was identified by Xu as being the work of a famous artist from the Song and Yuan dynasties. Its carving technology can be said to be first-rate in the world. What's even more valuable is that this jade statue is made from a complete ancient piece. Carved and polished jade.”
"Then, how much is this jade statue worth?" Wang Boyong beside Wang Yuanba couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and asked with some trembling.
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Xu glanced at the surprised Wang Boyong with a smile, shook his head with a smile, and did not answer.
Seeing Magistrate Xu's statement, Wang Boyong also knew that he had made a mistake. Such a peerless treasure could not be measured by gold and silver at all.
But just when Magistrate Xu was happy and complacent, Wang Boyong felt a little ashamed.
"Hey, this Guanyin statue seems to be missing something." Liu Captou, who had been sitting at Ke Zhengtong's seat and was silent, suddenly said something.
