Chapter 40

86_86438 It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and Rongguo Mansion was silent. At midnight, because Jia She and his three masters were helping each other, Gong Sanyi went out to secretly throw a lot of sweat medicine into the kitchens, and the whole mansion was sleeping peacefully.

At the sixth hour of Xu, Jia Si led the team to divide the fifty people who are now used into ten groups, five people in a group, with a black veil wrapped in a face, and a bright oil lamp was held in his hand, and then searched the inner wall and the residences under the residence according to the earlier designated portal. There were about 200 households in Rongguo Mansion, and Jia She thought that not all of them could be involved in greed, and only half of the money and items could be obtained from the books or warehouses. Therefore, there were more than ten groups that night.

Households must search and pick it up. It is just for ordinary household use; if there is anything that should not be with them, such as a large amount of silver or antiques or ornaments that are obviously transported from the warehouse, they will be taken away. Those who slept on the kang first, rolled it down and put it on the ground, and then put it back on the kang after checking it. Occasionally, some people who have not been awake for some reason, but slashed it with a hand knife before shouting it out, and immediately fainted, and then took a sweat medicine to let them sleep for several hours.

There was one person in each group holding a coarse paper and charcoal pen in his hand to record which household got what they got. This was Jia Cong's idea, "Take the opportunity to find out which ones are the most unclean. I'll find an opportunity to pass it off in the future, otherwise I will continue to be greedy in the future."

The beating outside Ningrong Street made Ge Liumi faint and threw him back to his own house. Seven or eight other people specially prepared many rattan boxes and sacks to pack them in the patio inside the West Corner Gate.

I thought it would be just a few hours, but I never thought that these people were very brave and had a lot of things. It took two hours to pack them all. Fortunately, there were so many zipper bags prepared. Jia She suddenly felt uneasy about the other half, so he asked everyone to search for those children. Sure enough, even though the logistics brigades were quite ruthless, they still found many things that were not rewarded by the masters when they saw it. It was not until the second hour of Yin that they were all busy. The whole mansion was so clean that they had not done anything they had never done. It was the first time that everyone had such a big vote, and they were fully prepared before, and they were very energetic and not exhausted.

Seeing that everyone started the second wave of packing, Ge Liu went out to deliver the letter. Before they had loaded it, there were large carriages coming outside Xijiaomen. The horse's hooves were wrapped in thick cloth, and the sound of stepping on the ground was much less. Fortunately, these were transported to Taiping Escort Agency, and the distance was not far. Only then did everyone know why Gong Sanyi selected the escort agency very close to Rongguo Mansion, and he was very impressed. The brothers carried the cart like a night marching, and the carriage was transported over and unloaded, and then turned around to load it. Jia She and his son saw that the last carriage had also been loaded. Fang, Gong Sanyi and others got on the same carriage. Ge Liu locked the Xijiaomen and drove forward and followed.

When we arrived at the escort agency, all kinds of boxes and sacks were transported neatly and smoothly into a large cellar. According to Jia Cong's suggestion, the boxes and sacks were numbered with charcoal pens on them, which looked very beautiful at first glance. Gong Sanyi smiled and said, "This cellar was originally very small. After we bought it, I made it so big now. I said that I would use it in the summer. I guess it would be used later."

Jia She was very happy to see the harvest was good. Now he has long seen that there are many things in Rongguo Mansion hidden by the slave family. He no longer gets angry and flatters Gong Sanyi, "Mr. Gong always wants to be in front of others."

It was almost the hour of Mao, and Jia She couldn't help but be glad that the medicine was put on last night, otherwise someone in the mansion would have woken up. After a little resettlement, Jia She said to everyone: "Brothers are very hard tonight, but they still have to work hard for a day. Don't rest on duty, so that people can see that we have moved at night."

The brothers laughed and said, "Where can I sleep!"

Jia Cong was secretly funny. He was really meticulous in his thief.

He gave a few more words to ask Jia Si to give everyone his hard-earned money first, and everyone burst into laughter. Then Jia She hurriedly took his two sons and youngest son Wu Baozi back in the carriage. Fortunately, it was the twelfth lunar month and it was dark. The five of them returned to their respective residences. Although they knew that the whole mansion was sleeping soundly, they couldn't help but tiptoe to change their clothes and settle down, but they couldn't sleep.

The next day, until three o'clock on the sun, the people in Rongguo Mansion gradually woke up. The whole mansion was like a fire. Because the hat and the three words "Robin Hood" were painted openly at the gate of Zhou Rui's house, there was no need to ask who did it. Jia Mu was shocked when she heard that she was so angry that she shouted "rebelled"! She hurriedly sent someone to call Jia She and Jia Zheng.

At this time, Jia She fell asleep. Because she had not closed her eyes for a night, the person who came to call him after half a day still couldn't wake up, so she had to go back. Because there were still many people who had not woken up at this time, Jia She was not suspicious and asked someone to wipe his face with cold water to wake him up.

Jia She yawned toward Jia Mu's yard with a confused look. After listening to the person below, he realized after a long time: "That Arhat soldier robbed our servants in the inner wall area of ​​our family last night?"

Jia Mu said calmly: "I'm afraid it's revenge!"

Jia She was stunned: "What are you taking revenge?"

Jia Mu stared at him fiercely: "Didn't you send a post to the Wucheng Military Office yesterday and let them make efforts to investigate the case?"

Jia Sheran: You can guess your son! I never thought of it, and hurriedly said, "What the old lady said is so true! Fortunately, they only plundered the people, and I think there is not much money to take it away for them."

Grandmother Jia naturally knew how wealthy the servants in the mansion were, and she was not convenient to talk directly, so she just used a crutch to lean on the ground with a hatred. She asked Jia Zheng again.

Jia Zheng said: "Although we only robbed the servants, it is our mansion. I'd better report to the Five City Military Commanders and let them solve the case soon."

Jia She was extremely sleepy at this moment, so he covered his sleeve and yawned and said, "Why don't you let someone run again? I'm really sleepy. My people have been there once yesterday." After saying that, he only said a headache, accused Mother Jia and went back to sleep.

Jia Mu was helpless, pointed at his back and cursed for a long time, then looked at Jia Zheng and sighed: "Now I can only rely on you."

Jia Zheng said: "I heard that the whole mansion was sleeping until now, and there were still many people who were not awake. It was obvious that the thief had put on sweating medicine. But there were so many people in our family, how did they get drunk?"

Jia Mu said, "I was not able to live in peace because of this, and I was not even letting go of the dog. I am afraid there were insiders. A few of them woke up last night, but they didn't use supper last night. It can be seen that the medicine was taken at the dinner in the house last night. The people in our kitchen must be carefully examined. I heard that the awakes at that time, they actually broke into the house with oil lamps. They all said that there were five people wearing black night clothes and a veil covering their faces. Only five people! They robbed hundreds of servants in our house. If they came in and killed people and set fire, would it be better?"

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "I heard that they have been robbing slaves from all over the capital and have been in the outer house for more than a month. It is impossible for them to have internal ghosts everywhere. Where did they come from so many informants?"

Jia Mu shook her head and said, "Those are all foreign houses of servants. How many households can I get a guard? How can I compare with our huge Duke's Mansion? Forget it, this natural government will check it. Some neighbors who got up in the middle of the night said that many black carriages ran out of Ningrong Street, one by one, were very generous. I thought that moving things in our mansion showed how unscrupulous it was. You can run it yourself."

Jia Zheng responded quickly, went back to change his clothes, and went to the Wucheng Military Office in person.

Zhao Cheng, the commander of the Five City Military Command, had already received the order from his superiors, and ignored all those who plundered the noble slaves. He hurriedly sent several people to Rongguo Mansion to see the scene to ask witnesses, and asked, "Has the Zun Mansion ever lost anything?"

Jia Zheng said: "It's not. But he was fascinated by the whole mansion, and the old lady was very frightened."

Zhao Cheng said: "Don't worry, this Robin Hood has not taken action against the slave family for the first time. He has never touched the master family at all."

Jia Zheng said: "It's just that if one day he wants to move, how easy it is. I hope you don't slack off."

Zhao Cheng repeatedly said yes, and he smiled and made a promise, coaxed Jia Zheng away vigorously. As soon as Jia Zheng left, the minor officials immediately gathered around him and quietly discussed: "Who is this Robin Hood?"

One said, "In the past, I guessed that it was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the

Another said: "What are the troubles of these slaves in search of these troubles?"

This said: "Now you can see the case of Rongguo Mansion just by looking at it. Where can ordinary people do it? There are so many portals, so neat, and I heard that there are still small rewards like monthly money. If I were really a man in the green forest, how could I resist taking it? It must be from the military camp. And it must be a strong soldier, and it may be a royal army."

The one said, "No, there are no imperial guards who robbed the slaves. They are not short of money. I heard that they have taken more than us."

This said: "They may not be short of money. I heard that the money is short of money today!"

When Zhao Cheng came back, he cursed when he heard this: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense."

Everyone dispersed.

Someone got up near the escort agency and on the road at night to see their carriages. Soon after Gong Sanyi opened, he spread the news that "there are often guests transporting escorts in at midnight". He also pretended to be something strange at night and was not surprised by the neighbors. Occasionally, he guessed that the owner of the escort agency was the head of Rongguo Mansion and did not do other things. Moreover, those slaves were both slaves and were extremely wealthy, so they had long disliked them. Many people were happy to see Robin Hood Daming appear in the market chat. Some even went to the government to inquire about it, but there was no reward for the case. Even if they gave the news, they just agreed and were too lazy to offend the Taiping escort agency and Jia She.

Afterwards, Gong Sanyi smiled and said, "It is impossible to be meticulous for such a big event, not in the wild. However, people in the market are predictable, either lazy, not causing trouble, too jealous, or doing nothing, so we are taking risks, but there is no danger and peace is good." Jia She and others were all admiring.

There were rumors in the market that "Robin Hood" was a burly man who used to lead four brothers, wearing a hat, a black scarf, and carrying an oil lamp to break into the homes of powerful slaves to seize property. Various stories of Linlin sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. A smart storyteller made up this joke and went to the teahouse to talk about it. The Beijing was lively.

From this day on, Rongguo Mansion will schedule patrol every day. Because the thief was a servant, no one was lazy. Everyone wanted to come here now and fight him hard.

Jia Mu also asked some people to check it out carefully. The servants in their mansion had all the skills of drinking and gambling, and many people were idle in the month of money, and not many people could do anything. The kitchen was even more aggrieved and could not find anything at the moment. Moreover, Gong Sanyi's ability was not something they could find. Only the guardian of the gate at the northwest corner gate replied that after dinner last year, the Zhou Rui family sneaked out for half an hour. Because Jia She reminded, Jia Mu sent someone to investigate the people who were robbed in the house outside the mansion, but only Zhou Rui's family survived! He immediately became suspicious of their family and immediately sent someone to stare at their family every move. However, the couple were both confidants of Mrs. Wang, and knew many secrets, so they were not convenient to sue the official at will.

This matter has nothing to do with the little masters in the mansion. Jia Congyao's son still went to Linhai with Jia Huan to study and told Linhai this gossip.

Lin Haidaqi: "This kind of thieves are also interesting. I think those wealthy slaves have taken away many things from their masters in their homes, but they may not dare to tell the truth to the official family."

The youngest man said, "This is the cleverness of the hero Luo. Since he has never stolen much, they are slaves themselves, how can the officials seriously investigate it?"

Jia Cong interrupted, "I'm afraid that Brother Xianwang's house will lose a dog more seriously than they do."

Lin Hai only criticized "naughty", and was just a slave, and didn't take it seriously, because he didn't mention it when he sent them to class.
