Chapter two hundred and eighty second crown robe and shoes
"Young Marshal, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Zhang Shaolan asked anxiously at this time.
"Don't worry, Zhongcheng. We will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. Don't worry. Please tell me in detail. Apart from the crown, robe and shoes, is there anything else missing? Also, did you feel anything unusual last night?"
"No, we searched carefully. Except for the crown, robe and shoes, nothing else was missing. As for the abnormality... I didn't notice it. By the way, Li Zhonglang lives in the same room with me, you can ask him."
Luo Tianbao heard that he had found Li Chengen who was living with Zhang Shaolan. When he asked, he didn't notice anything strange. Now Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Zhang Shaolan was a scholar, so it was not surprising that he didn't notice anything strange, but Li Chengen was a military officer.
, with extraordinary skill, it was quite strange that he didn't even notice it. However, Luo Tianbao had experienced powerful enemies for a long time and understood that the more times like this, the more calm he had to stay. At that time, he first comforted Zhang Shaolan, and then brought
Dong Yan and others came to Zhang Shaolan's room to check the situation. Luo Tianbao frowned as soon as he entered the room. It turned out that everyone had rummaged through the room in order to find the crown, robe and shoes. The crime scene was completely destroyed, but Luo Tianbao
Baolai also came, and he had to do some inspection. After he finished, he asked Dong Yan in a low voice: "You are an expert, can you tell anything?"
Dong Yan shook his head: "I've already seen it, and there's no sign that the doors or windows have been pried. If it wasn't done by one of our own, then this person's methods are quite clever and he should be an expert."
At this point, Dong Yan suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait a minute."
Then Dong Yan left the house. Luo Tianbao didn't know what she wanted to do, so he followed her out to take a look. As a result, she saw Dong Yanfei going to the house and checking on the roof. Luo Tianbao immediately understood that she suspected that she was from the house.
He sneaked in, but Dong Yan came down from the room not long after.
"It's unmistakable. The tiles in the northwest corner have signs of being turned over. That's probably where the other party entered the house."
Luo Tianbao couldn't help frowning when he heard this. This was a typical snitch's method. It seemed that this was a premeditated case, and judging from the fact that the other party only stole the crown, robe and shoes, and did not move any other property, it was obvious that this was not the case.
Seeking wealth, but clearly targeting Luo Tianbao and his party, this will make things troublesome.
"How about reporting to the official?" Luo Tianbao said.
"Are you okay? There are so many of us here and we can't solve it. Why should we report it to the official and spread the word so that people in the world won't laugh? You are shameless. I still have some reputation in the green forest. This matter is absolutely not allowed. Let's talk about it here again.
It's not the territory controlled by the imperial court, so it would be inconvenient if things go wrong." Dong Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Luo Tianbao, who felt the same thing when he heard it.
"What should we do?"
"If the other party is really coming for us, they will definitely not give up just like that. Let's wait and see what happens next and see what the other party wants to do next."
When Luo Tianbao heard that this was all he could do at the moment, he immediately led people to continue searching in the inn while waiting for news. As a result, Wen Kai hurriedly came to find him in the morning.
"Master, I found the crown, robe and shoes."
"Where is it?" Luo Tianbao and others were all refreshed upon hearing this.
"They are sold right in front of the inn."
"Ah?" Everyone was a little confused after hearing what Kai said.
"I can't explain clearly at the moment, you come with me." Wen Kai said and pulled Luo Tianbao out and ran out. Seeing this, everyone had to follow behind. When everyone left the inn door, they saw a group of people gathered on the street.
In the center was a fifteen or six-year-old boy who looked like a beggar. There was a blue cloth spread in front of him, giving the impression that he was setting up a street stall, and what he was selling was Zhang Shaolan's stolen crown, robe and shoes.
"My official uniform..." Zhang Shaolan saw this and wanted to step forward to get his things back. At the critical moment, Luo Tianbao and others, who were experienced in the world, hurriedly stopped him.
"Zhongcheng, please wait. This matter may not be that easy. Let us handle it first."
When Zhang Shaolan saw that Luo Tianbao and others were saying this, he immediately had to wait patiently. Luo Tianbao, Dong Yan and others then separated from the crowd and squeezed in.
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
The little beggar looked at them and replied: "Selling things."
"What are you selling?"
"It's this crown, robe and shoes, don't you recognize it?"
"Of course we know this thing, but can you tell us where it comes from?"
"Are you an official?"
"No, just ask around."
"Then is there anyone among you named Luo?"
"Uh, my surname is Luo. Why do you ask this, little brother?" Luo Tianbao and others couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's right. The person who gave me these things said that if someone asks for the price, these things are worth a thousand pieces of gold. If someone named Luo comes out of this inn and asks, just take them to a place. Then things will become clear.
Well, since he is talking about you, then come with me." Hearing this, the little beggar was about to pack his things. Seeing this, Luo Tianbao hurriedly stopped him.
"Little brother, wait a minute. Can you tell us who the person who wants to see us is?"
"That person told me not to say anything, otherwise I won't be given the promised reward."
Dong Yan couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "Then why should we go with you? What if it's a trap?"
The little beggar replied: "The man said that there is a jade belt missing from this set of things, and he will only hand it over if you follow me to see him."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and when they took a closer look, it turned out that there was a jade belt missing among the items on the stall. Zhang Shaolan had told everyone before that this jade belt was specially given to him by the Supreme Emperor in order to commend the Zhang brothers for their loyalty.
Not only is it extremely valuable, but it also has special meaning. It would be hard to explain if you throw it away. It seems that the other party has anticipated all the possible changes in advance. Luo Tianbao and others got together to discuss it. It was clear that the other party was prepared this time.
Come, it seems that if we don't go, the matter may not be settled. In the end, everyone decided that Zhang Shaolan, Li Chengen, Ding Xie, Wen Kai and others stayed behind to look after the house and wait for news. Luo Tianbao took Dong Yan, Lin Shu, Shu sisters and others to follow.
The little beggar wanted to find out.
In this way, Luo Tianbao and others followed the little beggar to the outskirts, and finally stopped in a small forest.
"Here we are, the man said he just needs to bring you here."
Everyone saw that this place was in a remote place, and few people would come here. There was a stream next to the woods, the water was crystal clear, and there was a stone tablet beside the road. It may have been damaged over the years, and the words engraved on it were blurry.
I don’t know clearly, I just know that it is an old thing, and the whole environment seems quite quiet.
At this time, I saw the little beggar quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Hey, I brought you the man, it's time to give him the money."
As soon as the little beggar finished speaking, he heard someone on the tree laughing loudly: "Little brother, thank you for your hard work."
Only then did everyone realize that there was already an ambush in the tree, and they immediately became alert. Then they saw the next person jump directly from the tree, and he landed on the ground without any breath. This move alone was enough to show his lightness.
It has reached the point of proficiency, and everyone can't help but be surprised when they take a closer look.
