Chapter 120 Theft(1/2)
Pushing open the door, Su Yang walked into the guest room.
I saw that the room was blown by the strong wind, and the things in the room were tilted and messy.
The bedding pillow was obviously turned over, and the change of clothes he brought was thrown to the ground.
The wardrobe has been pulled open.
He hurried to the place where things were hidden - the bedside table, some inconvenient things to carry, he hid behind the bedside table.
But I saw that the bedside table had been pulled away from its original place, and the things hidden behind the bedside table naturally disappeared.
His face turned pale.
Except for the easy-to-carry gold and some silver, all other things were stolen.
Among them, there are hundreds of taels of silver, and the most precious one is the ten hundred-year-old ginseng plants given by the Huo family.
The market price alone is as high as 5,000 taels. If the value of its main medicinal material as Qingling Pill is included, the loss will be even greater.
He walked out of the room and called the shopkeeper with a pale face.
The shopkeeper was an obese man who was stared at by Su Yang's bad eyes and kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
He asked nervously and nervously.
"Customer, how much silver have you lost in total?"
"Ten hundred-year-old ginseng plants, plus a few hundred silver, add up to more than 5,000 taels."
Su Yang said with a calm face.
"More than five thousand taels?"
Hearing Su Yang's loss, the fat shopkeeper dizzy in his head. He was so scared that he was not scared to faint. He was supported by a friend and did not fall.
The inn he runs is pretty good business, and many foreign caravans will settle here, but they only earn more than 100 taels of silver every month.
Even if you sell the entire inn, you can't afford to pay so much money.
"Call all the guys in the store."
Su Yang didn't expect the other party to be able to afford it, but he just hoped to find clues and get the things back.
It would be fine if the silver is lost, but what made him most unhappy was the loss of the ten hundred-year-old ginseng plants.
Things like Centennial Ginseng may not be able to be bought even if you have money, and it is very useful to him. It is a pity to lose it.
Soon, all the guys in the store were called, and Su Yang asked in a deep voice.
"Have you seen anyone with suspicious signs enter the inn?"
While asking, he stared at these people sharply and observed their expressions.
He could sneak into his room during the day and steal his things. If he said there were no insiders among these guys, he would not believe anything.
"No."
"I didn't... see."
"I... haven't seen it either."
One guy after another shook his head in panic.
Su Yang frowned, and all the guys looked extremely panicked, which made him really unable to tell which one was the insider.
If you think about it carefully, it is reasonable.
As ordinary people, it is difficult to avoid panic when they learn that the inn guests have lost so much money.
"Master Su Gang, what's wrong?"
Several people returned from outside the inn and saw the situation here and walked over. It was Huo Yun and others.
"My room was sneaked in and things were stolen."
Su Yang said.
"The room was sneaked into?"
Huo Yun was startled and asked hurriedly.
“How much has been lost?”
"The ten ginseng you sent before plus a few hundred taels of silver, which totaled more than five thousand taels."
Su Yangdao.
"Have you asked any clues?"
"No."
Su Yang shook his head.
"Gang Master Su doesn't have to worry too much. Things should be recovered. Shen Jing's family has a considerable force in Xining City. I'll ask her for help now."
After thinking about it, she said again.
"You can't live in your original room anymore. Our caravan has a whole floor and there are people guarding you during the day."
"I'll have someone make a room for you, and you'll move to our place?"
"Thank you then."
Without refusal, Su Yang thanked him and agreed.
...
Late at night, a room was exposed to lights.
There were two men in the room.
The two have a bit similar appearance, except that one is older and the other is younger.
The older man is named Zheng Hai, and the younger man is named Zheng He.
They are a pair of brothers who jointly manage a thief group, specializing in stealing and burglary.
I have been doing it for many years, but because of my caution and caution, I only choose people who can do it. I often move my residence, and my whereabouts are uncertain, and I have never missed it.
The two sat at the table, and on the table, there was a package wrapped in cloth.
At this time, the package had been untied and the things inside the package were completely exposed.
"A lot of money, I'm afraid it's more than 600 taels."
Looking at the dazzling silver under the light, Zheng He was full of excitement.
I have done stealing in the inn many times, but this is the first time I have stolen so much money.
“What is here?”
He picked up the wooden box inside the package and opened it. The next moment, his face showed ecstasy.
"Get rich, get rich."
Hearing his words, Zheng Hai hurriedly looked at the wooden box.
I saw that there were ginseng plants that were obviously covered with vintage in the wooden box.
"Ten ginseng plants, and all of them are a hundred years old. If they are sold, they can be sold at least 5,000 taels."
Zheng He said excitedly.
Unlike Zheng He's excitement, Zhenhai's face was a little worried.
A person who can have such wealth must have an extraordinary status. He is either a strong man or extremely powerful. No matter which one, it is obviously not easy to mess with.
He asked with a worried look on his face.
"Are you sure this person is not from Xining City?"
"Brother, don't worry, I took action after I found out. This person is indeed not from Xining City."
Zheng He said with a smile.
"That's fine."
Zheng Hai's heart was slightly relaxed.
The other party is not a local person from Xining City, and it is not in Xining City. It should be very difficult to find them who are uncertain whereabouts.
However, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, and as time passed, the uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
"I can't stay in this place anymore, let's go, change the place."
He tied the package back on, and he said to Zheng He.
"We have only stayed in this place for a few days, so how quickly will we change the place?"
Zheng He said reluctantly.
"I always feel something is going to happen, I can't stay in this place."
Zheng Hai said seriously.
