Chapter 24 Uninvited guests late at night

It was almost the first update when Li Ling came out of the store. The tea stall in front of the money shop was gone. But Gu Gang was still waiting in the corner honestly. When he saw him coming out, he hurried to catch up and greet him: "Young Master Li, you are out, give it!" But he handed over two sesame cakes that had already become cold.

Although Li Ling had some refreshments inside, he was only half full. At this time, he naturally took the sesame cake and started eating it. He said, "Are you anxious? But the matter has been done. They promised to borrow 5,000 taels of silver for a monthly interest rate of 5 minutes. Finally, this trip is worth it!"

Gu Gang's reaction was not strong, and he just smiled silly: "That's great, can you bring the silver back tomorrow?"

"Yes, the money shop will arrange someone to help us transport all the money back." Li Ling said this and his old face turned red slightly. He just made a fool of himself because of this, and he actually said that he would take away the money...

It was really a work that harmed people in later generations. He underestimated the weight of 5,000 taels of silver, as if he could carry it with just one hand. But in fact, based on the current conversion of 16 taels per kilogram, 5,000 taels of silver is more than 300 kilograms, two large boxes of silver. He is not Li Yuanba, and he can carry more than 300 kilograms of things to come and go freely.

Fortunately, the service in the money shop was thoughtful, and he was relieved that he would send someone to help him deliver the money to Jiangcheng County. Of course, the other party's arrangement may have the intention of inspecting the Gujia Bookstore on site. After all, 5,000 taels of silver is not a small amount.

After the matter was done, Li Ling and the other two could finally rest assured. They went to the inn where Gu Yuezi had been staying in the Fucheng before. They didn't dare to choose the best room. They only had two rooms in the inner and outer rooms facing the street, and only fifty copper coins were needed in a night, but this made Gu Gang very happy. He used to sleep in a bed, so he could spend the night for only ten cents.

Although this mansion is much more prosperous and lively than Jiangcheng County, it is still quickly deserted at night. In the second gatekeeper and several teams of soldiers who were patrolling the night, there were no passers-by on the streets of Ergent Tianhou, so it was quiet. But Li Ling was lying on the bed at this time, but he didn't feel much sleepy, and his body was quite tired, but his mind was extremely awake.

Because at this moment he realized that he seemed to have nothing to do next. As long as the money was in place and the few moves he had arranged before, he would be able to defeat Wanjia Bookstore directly this time, so he would not have to give advice to Gu Yuezi anymore.

But after experiencing this battle in the shopping mall, Li Ling became a little stupid. It would be too boring to let him write books behind closed doors like before. What's more, after Feng Shen finished writing? He thought about continuing to copy the article and find another book to copy? Could it be that he only wrote books and survived after traveling through time?

But if you think about it carefully, he couldn't think of a second way, because he really lacked the professional skills to make a name for himself in this era...

"Dangdangdang..."

"Smack it..."

"Around him, don't let him run away... Where can the thief go...ah..."

Suddenly, a chaotic riot broke out in the distance, which made Li Ling, who was lying there, feel excited. Could it be that the thief was discovered in this midnight? While guessing, the chase and shouting were getting louder and louder, getting closer and closer, and the person was coming directly towards this side.

Somehow, Li Ling suddenly felt a little curious, so he turned over and got up and came to the window. When he was choosing a house, he chose the inner room on the street, so it was convenient at this moment. As for Gu Gang in the outer room, he was still snoring and sleeping properly.

Through the window paper, Li Ling could vaguely see a few lits of fire in the dark night outside approaching here, probably coming along the street. And not only in that direction, but also after hearing the movement, there were fires moving here in other places.

This made Li Ling's curiosity even more. He gently opened the window and leaned out. With just a swipe, he happened to see a black shadow jumping out of the alley in front of him. His eyes were blurred. The black shadow had already risen in the air. He leveraged the force on the platform below. He had just fallen in the air and fell to his window. He stared at Li Ling who was protruding his head...

"..." Li Ling didn't know what to say at this moment. He was just a melon-eating crowd. Why did the big melon skin fall on his head all at once? Before he could say anything, the man suddenly reached out and pressed his face. He twisted his body and turned it straight into the window, then closed the window with his backhand.

"Woooo..." Li Ling felt a powerful force covering his face. Not only could he not break free, but he also closed his breathing. He felt nervous and hurriedly retreated until he saw the other party pulling out a knife and crossing it in front of him. He glared and honestly became honest.

This time Li Ling really regretted it so much. He was not the one who liked to join in the fun before. What happened today? Now, he really led the wolf into the house. If he really threw his life here like this, it would be really embarrassing to the time traveler.

"If you don't shout and call the officers and soldiers, I won't hurt you. If it can be done, just blink your eyes." It was not until the man said that Li Ling felt a little relieved and quickly blinked to express his willingness to cooperate.

The man slowly let go of his hand. Seeing that Li Ling was not yelling, he relaxed a little, but the knife in his hand still did not return the sheath. He only took a little back and looked at Li Ling up and down, but found that the other party was also looking at him, so he grinned: "You are quite bold."

Li Ling saw this person in his thirties or forties, with a heroic appearance, and a bee-waisted and ape-armed arms, giving people a sense of explosive power. Thinking about how he could easily jump onto his window from the street below, he knew that this person was very skilled. He smiled reluctantly and said, "You are not too brave. You dare to do whatever you want in the city and get out of the rounding of officers and soldiers."

"Hmph, if it weren't... I would be surrounded by them?" The man quickly omitted a statement, and then slowed down his attitude and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of thief who kills innocent people. As long as you don't disturb the government, I won't hurt you at all, and I will leave before dawn."

Li Ling nodded and pointed to a chair next to him: "Then you can sit here and rest."

Seeing that he was so calm, the other party looked at him carefully, then sat down and said, "What are you doing in the Mansion City?"

"Oh, do some business and talk about business. Do you know I'm not from this city?"

"Does anyone from this city stay in the inn?"

"Too!"

The two of them chatted softly for a while, and then they lost their words. But in a short while, the movement outside became louder and louder. After the fire gathered, there was a thunderous sound of slamming the door. The people inside asked what they were doing, and the people outside said seriously: "There are thieves and bandits who have escaped here. Let's investigate and open the door quickly!"

Obviously, this person's trajectory was caught, and he planned to go door to door to check it out.

This made the man's face suddenly tighten, and his eyes even showed a little murderous intent, which scared Li Ling. Are all the officers and soldiers of this era so serious and responsible? Just a thief, he was chasing him so tightly, and he still had to search every house?

Their answer was very clear. Not only did they search each house, but they didn't let the inn go. Soon the entire inn was alarmed. Until the sound of knocking on the door came from outside, Gu, who had been sleeping, woke up and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

"Forgive me, the official came to investigate. A thief who was extremely dangerous just now escaped here. It would not be a trivial matter if he came in..."

This answer immediately surprised Gu Gang. He quickly stood up and asked Li Ling inside, "Young Master Li, are you okay?"

"It's okay, tell them, we went to bed early in the morning, where did the thief come from?" Li Ling glanced at the man who was about to rise like a cheetah in front of him, and explained in a plain tone.

Gu Gang then got up and opened the door, and replied to the waiter and the two officers who were waiting there. Seeing his sleepy and honest look, the two officers had no doubts. They just leaned over and swept around the house, and then reminded him: "Be careful, the thief might slip in." Then he shrank back.

It was not until the guest room door was closed again and Gu Gang yawned back and lay down, and the two inside breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then looked at each other again.

"You really helped me once, I will write down this love."

"I'm just trying to protect myself, otherwise they might have to treat me as your accomplice. If the government really recognizes me as a member of the Luotian Sect, the problem will be serious." Li Ling said with a serious expression.

The three words "Luo Tian Sect" made the man's body suddenly shake, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife that had just been sheathed: "Did you guess my identity?"

"Is it that difficult to guess?" Li Ling smiled, "When I entered the city today, I heard someone mention your story. It seems that you have thought about entering the city, but then you have revealed your behavior. I was just wondering, how could ordinary thieves make the government so powerful, but it makes sense that you are a member of the Luotian Sect."

"Since you know my identity, aren't you afraid? You're actually thinking about covering me."

"I'm not saying that, I'm afraid of implicating myself, and I'm not your opponent. The most important thing is that I don't think that Luo Tian Sect must be a bad person, at least you don't look like it, otherwise you can easily kill me when you come in."

"Hey..." The man smiled bitterly. He really didn't expect that he could meet a stranger who believed in him. This felt very strange...

"But have you ever thought about it? Now the city has sent many people to take you over. Can you really go out?"

"I have to try anyway." The man smiled bitterly. He shouldn't have entered the city at the beginning.
