Chapter 124 Man Dies for Wealth
In this time and space of the Southern Song Dynasty, Niujia Village, Lin'an Prefecture, is also a very famous place. Many plot tasks take place here. Therefore, when he was wandering around the city a few days ago, Luo Yuchen had already asked the way to Niujia Village. So after leaving the palace, he identified the direction and used his light skills to run straight towards Niujia Village.
In less than half an hour, it was already a few dozen miles away. The quiet Niujia Village was vaguely visible. Luo Yuchen did not enter the village, but found a hidden place to leeward at the entrance of the village and ambushed. There was no way. In his previous life, he had never been to Niujia Village, so he naturally would not know which tavern was in Qu Lingfeng. So now he could only wait for the rabbit again, waiting for Qu Lingfeng to come back to lead the way...
It was already the middle of winter. The biting cold wind monster roared past the enemy, greedily taking away all the heat from the person. Moreover, Luo Yuchen was running all the way. As soon as he stopped, the sweat on his body was blown to a very cold and almost turned into ice. As a last resort, Luo Yuchen could only slowly bring his luck to withstand the cold.
"Du, duh..." After waiting for nearly half an hour, the familiar crutch sounded finally. Luo Yuchen was excited and he quickly turned his ears and listened carefully. But soon, his brows frowned slightly, and then immediately restrained all his true energy, held his breath and hid himself as much as possible: "It seems that I was really unfortunate to guess. Today is the death of Qu Lingfeng..."
In the original work, Qu Lingfeng was discovered once when he touched the palace and stole things, but the ones who chased the neighborhood of Niujia Village were just three unknown minions, so Qu Lingfeng was easily dispelled. And when he took action that time, he happened to be knocked out by Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin brothers. After a series of coercion and temptation, Qu Lingfeng simply pulled the two of them into the water.
After helping to bury the three unlucky guards, the three of them returned to the village together. However, now, Luo Yuchen only heard the sound of the crutch pointing to the ground gradually approaching, and there was no speech or footsteps of Guo and Yang. Therefore, it was natural that today, the one who was chasing Qu Lingfeng was probably no longer an incompetent minion, but a small boss...
Sure enough, not long after the sound of the tuk-knocking crutches hit the ground, a tall and stubborn figure floated silently in front of Luo Yuchen, followed Qu Lingfeng's footsteps and touched into a two-story building at the entrance of the village. After waiting patiently for a while and confirming that no one was following, Luo Yuchen jumped up and used his true energy to stimulate the blood and dispel the chill, while touching it quietly.
As soon as he touched the door, Luo Yuchen's ears moved slightly, and a low sneer and a muffled groan sounded at the door: "Hmph, the little thief who is not open has stolen everything into the palace. I thought you were so capable, but I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable!"
"How many accomplices are there? Where are they? How did you get into the palace? Who helped you? Did Lao Huang make an introvert for you? Tell me, be honest and give me everything! I can also let you suffer less, otherwise you will be more beautiful!"
"Bah! Eagle's claws, don't pretend. If you want to kill and cut, please give me a message! I'm not as good as others in this field now. There is nothing to say, but if you want me to slander others, it's a delusion!" This low and hoarse voice was obviously Qu Lingfeng's. After all, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and his internal skills were one star worse than chasing this big guard. It was not difficult to understand that he was defeated and captured so quickly.
"Hey, you really judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain. A certain family is a court official, so you must do things according to the laws of the court. This time, you are injured in this way, just to recover the lost treasures in the palace. As long as you hand over the stolen goods and give out all your accomplices, the official will naturally send you to the prefect's office to punish the crimes and steal property according to the law. At most, you will be exiled to the army. Why do you have to seek death?"
"Hmph, what you said is better than singing! And the court rules. When did you go to court and talk about the law to us grass people?" Qu Lingfeng coughed a few times and sneered: "The wealth is moving. The reason why you joined the Six Gates is not fame and fortune? Now there are so many rare treasures in front of you, I don't believe it, and you are really not moved at all?"
Through a small hole in the window, Luo Yuchen saw the blood-stained Qu Lingfeng leaning weakly against the corner of the wall. He sneered and stretched out his hand, and threw out a bulging bag. With a "slam" sound, a large area of dazzling pearl treasure qi suddenly rushed towards him, making the tall military officer unable to help but take a breath and fell silent!
After a long time, he licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, what do you mean? With so many gold, silver and treasures in hand, what kind of slaves should I be? Isn't it happier to find a place to hide anonymity and be a rich man? Anyway, the court is almost helpless. I, Shi, is still young, but it is not worth tying it to sink and drown with this broken ship..."
Amid the sound of the collision of gold and silverware, the military officer's voice became lower and lower, and he became more and more intoxicated: "Okay, for your kindness to wake me up, I will give you a happy life!" As he said that, the tall military officer who had become extremely greedy from a hypocritical manner suddenly raised his long sword. Qu Lingfeng was startled and shouted: "Wait a minute! Your Excellency, if you like these gold and silver treasures, you can take them all. Since you have decided to leave the court, why bother with me again?"
"Hmph! All these gold, silver and treasures are mine, so I will naturally take them all away later! However, I, Shi Yanming, are not an ungrateful person. The emperor has helped me a lot. I have been a guard for more than ten years, and it is almost done. But now that I want to take his things, I can only do him one more favor and get rid of you, the brave thief, as a reward!"
"Wait!" Qu Lingfeng was really amused and crying when he encountered such a top-notch one now, so he quickly shouted again, "Mr. Shi, wait first, and listen to my last words!"
"Okay, because you have contributed so much gold, silver and treasures to me, I will let you finish your last words!" The guard's military officer Shi Yanming waved his hand generously and took back the long sword again. Seeing this, Qu Lingfeng quickly spoke: "Mr. Shi, you don't know that although your martial arts are not very good, you have sneaked into the palace many times. Today's harvest is not too rich. I have hidden the real big head in the secret room. Mr. Shi, if you let me go, how about I give you all the treasures?"
"Huh? Are you saying true?" A pair of eyes looked around the simple room, as if they were looking for the entrance to the secret room, but then Shi Yanming gave up this plan and nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, as long as you say true, there are more treasures in the secret room than I have in my hands, I will let you go!"
"Okay, one word is certain!" Qu Lingfeng reached out to take the crutch that Shi Yanming kicked over. While he stood up with difficulty, he lowered his head and concealed the fleeting light in his eyes!
In the sound of "gaga", as Qu Lingfeng turned an iron bowl, the closet by the wall immediately separated to both sides, revealing a one-person-high hole on the wall. Qu Lingfeng nodded towards the hole and said, "This is the secret room, everything is inside!"
"Oh?" Shi Yanming was happy, but then stopped and said to Qu Lingfeng: "You go in first!"
This proposal was exactly what Qu Lingfeng thought, so he did not refuse and walked in without hesitation. Moreover, as if he wanted Shi Yanming to see more clearly, he lifted a large box in the secret room and raised a torch to illuminate the white jewelry in it!
"Okay! There is indeed a treasure!" Shi Yanming was overjoyed and rushed in quickly, but at this moment, Qu Lingfeng seemed to be weak, and suddenly shook his body, loosened his hand, and the lid of the large iron box was closed downwards...
Most of the dazzling jewelry aura was suddenly covered. Shi Yanming was already fascinated by countless shaking jewelry. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but reach out to hold the box cover. Then his whole body pounced on it and lay on the box and looked at it carefully!
Just when Shi Yanming was intoxicated, Qu Lingfeng quietly took a step back, pulled out a long knife from the wall behind him with his backhand, and suddenly stabbed Shi Yanming into a cold heart!
"Ah..." A beast-like roar suddenly came from Shi Yanming's mouth. Then, he didn't turn his head and directly put his hands in reverse and pushed backwards. Qu Lingfeng's steps were inconvenient after all, and at this time he pressed his body's inertia on the hilt of the knife. He did not avoid Shi Yanming's desperate attempt. He was directly hit by his palm to break his bones and bones, and blood spurted backwards...
