2252 [Re-issue of robbery]
In the next few days, Guo Furong felt guilty for almost pushing the scholar into a pit of fire, so she naturally treated him a little better than usual, so the relationship between the two developed rapidly.
In order to make up for her mistake, Guo Furong ran around and finally helped the scholar find a reliable bookseller. After reading the scholar's book, the other person found it very interesting, so he decided to help publish it, and gave him fifty as an advance payment.
Two pieces of silver.
This also made both Xiucai and Xiao Guo very happy.
The scholar even planned to use the money to redeem Xiao Guo, but Xiao Guo did not agree.
She wanted to leave Tongfu Inn before, mainly because she felt that this job as a handyman, which only paid two cents a month, did not reflect her own value. Moreover, it would take twenty years to work, which would really kill people.
But she now earns 2 taels per month, and it only takes two years to pay off the money, which is no longer a long time away, so she is willing to continue working and pay off the debt on her own.
Moreover, her marriage is here. She doesn't want to leave in a short time.
…
Guo Furong didn't want to leave, but someone came.
Three disciples of the Hengshan Sect, Lu Yiming, Zhou Dunru, and Zhu Xiaoyun, came to Tongfu Inn together and wanted Mo Xiaobei to be their leader.
This is none of Xiang Nan's business. What he cares about is the leaders' meeting in a few days.
At that time, the leaders of the six major sects of Jianghu and various heroes will be present, and Xiang Nan just wants to see how good they are.
"Brother Li, something's wrong~" At this moment, Yan Xiaoliu came over to report, "Something happened at Shopkeeper Qian's house."
"What happened?" Xiang Nan asked quickly after hearing this.
"Shopkeeper Qian's Wanli Pawn Shop was stolen, and fifty taels of silver disappeared. This is a big deal in our Qixia Town." Yan Xiaoliu said excitedly.

Xiang Nan nodded and immediately led Yan Xiaoliu to Wanli Pawnshop.
I saw Mrs. Qian scolding the workers, "I lost so much money and you didn't even notice it. I'm really angry. If I can't find it again, I'll deduct it from your wages."
Shopkeeper Qian looked anxious at the side, "Fifty taels of silver, how can it be gone? Madam, please calm down, don't be too angry, or you may get angry."
However, Xiang Nan's sharp eyes saw a snicker on the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, he was not really anxious, but was secretly happy that his plot had succeeded.
Because Xiang Nan knew that Shopkeeper Qian stole the money himself. His wife was very strict with him and forced him to lose weight and work all day long, so Shopkeeper Qian wanted to steal the money.
However, although Xiang Nan knew this, he didn't want to get married so soon.
On the one hand, even if he knew that Shopkeeper Qian had stolen it himself, there was no actual evidence; on the other hand, he wanted to borrow Mrs. Qian to test the strength of the major martial arts masters.
Xiang Nan came to this world mainly to collect martial arts. And the top martial arts in "Wulin Gaiden" are basically in the hands of the major martial arts sects.
For example, Shaolin has Bodhidharma Kick, Thunder Quick Shou, Nine Yang Magic, Muscle Relaxing Dragon Claw Hand, Eighteen Bronze Man Body Protection Magic, etc.; Wudang has Tai Chi; Emei has Emei Sword Technique; Kongtong has Seven Injury Fist...
In order to collect martial arts knowledge, Xiang Nan will have to find these sects sooner or later. The only difference is whether it is by trick or by robbery.
And if you want to try the martial arts of the major masters, you have to find a good human shield.
Mrs. Qian is known as the best human shield in "Wulin Gaiden". She has practiced the Golden Bell Shield of the Thirteen Taibos, and her ability to resist beatings is quite strong.
He was attacked by the leaders of the major sects with the most brutal martial arts, but he didn't die, and instead quickly turned into a monster again. He was so resistant to beatings, and it was a perfect touchstone.
Moreover, Mrs. Qian is also one of the rare villains in "Wulin Gaiden".
In the play, she not only faked her death for blackmail, but also kidnapped Mo Xiaobei and took the opportunity to plot against Tongfu Inn. It can be said that she has a bad heart.
Precisely because of this, Xiang Nan also wanted her to suffer. Even if she was beaten to death, it would be a harm to the Seven Heroes.
Of course, it's too much of a coincidence that Mrs. Qian is dealt with by various bosses in the play. But Xiang Nan still wants to give it a try. It doesn't matter if she fails anyway.
…
Xiang Nan immediately walked over and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, Mrs. Qian, I heard that your pawnshop lost money again?"
"Ah, who are you? Where's Mr. Xing?" Mrs. Qian asked in surprise when she saw Xiang Nan.
She knew that Xiang Nan was the chef of Tongfu Inn.
"Oh, Capt. Xing went to the capital to receive an award. I will take over his position for the time being." Xiang Nan explained, "Please tell me about the situation, and I'll see if I can help you."
"Okay." Mrs. Qian nodded, and then recounted the incident.
It turned out that when she got up early this morning to do the accounting, she noticed that the money in the treasury did not match up. After checking carefully, she found that fifty taels of silver were missing.
"How much money is there in the library?" Xiang Nan asked.
"One thousand taels." Mrs. Qian replied.
"Are they put together?" Xiang Nan asked again.
Mrs. Qian nodded.
"That's strange. Since you have stolen all fifty taels, why not steal the remaining nine hundred and fifty taels?" Xiang Nan said.
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Qian was thoughtful, while Shopkeeper Qian was shocked.
It was true that he stole fifty taels of silver, and he was indeed able to steal a thousand taels at that time. But he only wanted to steal some pocket money, and had no intention of destroying the whole family.
Moreover, if his wife caught him stealing fifty taels, he would probably get a beating at most. But if he stole a thousand taels and his wife found out, he probably dropped it into a box. So he only stole fifty taels, but he didn't expect that this would leave a flaw.
.
That's right, if it was really a thief, how could he only steal fifty taels!
"It makes sense." Mrs. Qian nodded, "Then why do you think it is?"
"In my opinion, someone was short on money but didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he only stole a little." Xiang Nan explained, "This should be considered a thief's right."
"Every thief has his own way, and stealing is stealing. If I know who it is, I will still skin him." Mrs. Qian said viciously.
Shopkeeper Qian immediately trembled.
…
"Mrs. Qian, I want to see the place where the eucalyptus was born again." Xiang Nan said to Mrs. Qian again.
Mrs. Qian nodded and took Xiang Nan to the warehouse.
You can see that the warehouse has no windows and no other entrances or exits except the door.
Xiang Nan checked the door lock, jumped up to the roof, checked it carefully, and then landed down.
"Mrs. Qian, look, there is no sign that the lock of the warehouse has been picked, and there is no sign that the tiles on the roof have been lifted." He introduced immediately.
"What does this mean?" Mrs. Qian asked puzzledly.
"This means that the person who stole it is either a thief who has access to the key. Or he is a very skilled thief who can open this kind of copper lock." Xiang Nan analyzed.
When shopkeeper Qian heard what he said, he felt more and more uneasy. It wasn't even May yet and he was already sweating profusely.
"It makes sense." Mrs. Qian nodded.
