When the curfew was late at night, most places in Taolin County were silent. Only those places where the hostels were crowded, the noise of silk and bamboo came from now on.

For this triennial Battle Treasure Conference in East and West City, many wealthy businessmen have been thinking about it. It should be noted that there are two or three hundred businesses in the East and West City, and more than three thousand businessmen, but there are good or bad positions in the inner city and good or bad business. Only a few top-notch ones can be favored by those high-ranking officials and nobles. If outsiders want to gain a foothold in the two cities and then expand their business, this Battle Treasure Conference is the best choice!

It is also because of this that a business trip was robbed a few days ago, and other business trips in Taolin County were delayed for a while. Nowadays, two or three groups of business trips are often stuffed into a hostel. In order to ensure the safety of the way forward, they have to hug each other tightly. Not to mention that they didn’t take the price given by Fatty Cui before, they were not worth mentioning even if they were ten times higher than the priceless treasures in their luggage.

So, at this moment, the originally angry Fatty Cui listened to the owner of the house where he stayed and talked about the hidden truth, and the anger on his face turned into curiosity.

"Cui Langjun, it's really not those merchants who don't know Mount Tai and refuse to make a place to go. It's because they are all worried. The robbed caravan was also heading for the three-year Treasure Conference in East and West City, Chang'an. When he set off from Taolin, he heard that he had taken in a young man who stayed around but didn't find a hostel. After leaving the city, he was fascinated and was robbed many of his property. He said it was a giant thief, but after searching, there was no trace of it. The young man also followed the property without a trace, and decided to cooperate with the inside and outside. In anger, the envoy of Guo of Shaanxi Province was furious and ordered the Mingfu in the county to investigate in detail. He must have run away immediately. How could he check it? At present, many of these business travelers in the city were preparing to go on the road together to avoid repeating the same mistakes. I told me that the elusive thief might not be able to catch it."

Fatty Cui didn't care about any giant thief, but when he heard the word Dou Bao, he was extremely moved. He followed Cui Weizhi to serve in a foreign office for many years and had almost no impression of Chang'an. He rarely had the chance to sneak out to play in Luoyang. At this moment, his eyes flashed and finally asked suddenly: "So, are the other business trips that have included all the hostels with their treasures?"

"That's it!" Dai Han, the owner of the hotel, nodded repeatedly and said with added qigong, "I heard that there are night pearls as big as fingers; there are fire rat leather coats from the Western Regions, which are said to be the best for cold protection; there are a complete set of hair combs made of tortoiseshell, and each carving is a masterpiece..."

Although he came from a famous family, Cui Ershiwuro always had a natural love for good things. At this moment, he couldn't help swallowing hard and suddenly said straightforwardly, "What if I want to see these treasures now?"

"This..." Dai Han seemed a little embarrassed and rubbed his hands and said, "My hostel was newly opened, not many people came, and no wealthy businessmen stayed in. If he wanted to go to another house, he was afraid that those merchants would cherish their own clothes, and were worried that people would miss it..."

Speaking of this, when he saw Cui Ershiwulang immediately showed displeasure, he quickly laughed and said, "But there is no way. When Cui Langjun went to stay everywhere, he wanted to pay for someone to buy a house, but he should not have claimed to be a monk, right? If he knew that Cui Langjun was the nephew of Duke Zhao and Duke Cui, he would definitely flock to him. After all, they traveled thousands of miles to Xijing, but wasn't it just to win the eyes of noble people?"

"You are almost saying this!" Fatty Cui jumped up immediately and waved his hand without saying a word, "Then let's go now. Since you are from Taolin County, you can lead the way. Then you will say that I want to appreciate their treasures!"

When Fatty Cui excitedly took his servants and bodyguards and followed Dai Han out, the Cui family, who had been quietly watching, was immediately embarrassed. Not to mention that it was already banned at night, the movement was limited, and the person who went back to report the news had not turned around yet. If he followed, what should the person who came back? Just as he saw that the person had walked a long way and was ready to follow him quietly and set a mark along the way, he heard a sound coming from behind. Turning his head to see his companions follow him, he felt relieved and had no time to explain anything, so he grabbed the person and chased him.

Seeing that the few people in front of him somehow convinced Wu Hou who was patrolling the night in the shop, the two Cui family members behind him were a little distressed. They could not say that they were following the young master in front of him, so they had to carefully hide and hide. When Dai Han led Cui Ershiwulang and others to knock on the gate of a hostel and took some effort to enter, the two couldn't help but look at each other again.

"Liu Mo, what should I do?"

"In this way, after a while, you lied that it was Seventeenth Lady who sent you to find Twenty-Fulang, and you went in and explored what was going on. With Twenty-Fulang's temperament, although it would be a short time to knock you out, you could always find out something."

"good!"

The two of them decided to stop. When it was almost done, one of them went up and knocked on the door. After a while, there was indeed a person who responded to the door. Although he was in the bottom of the matter, after he took out the letter of Cui's identification, he quickly went in. But for a while, a loud noise came from inside, and then the person who entered was driven out in a mess. After meeting with his companion Liu Mo, he looked around and disappeared into the shadow of the house for a while, and then lowered his voice.

"Twenty-furang actually followed the hostel owner to come here to appreciate the treasures that participated in the East and West City Doubao in Chang'an. Because of the relationship between the two men, he also had the jade pendant of the Cui family's children in Qinghe. Except for a few people who refused, many people were cursing him. I only saw a piece of flawless paperweight made of beautiful jade in the middle."

"I think that Shigoro will probably stay here for a long time tonight. It's hard to say whether he will go back to the original hostel. In this way, you go back and report first, I'll be here to guard!"

When Du Shiyi learned from the servants who came back to report that Fatty Cui actually went to meet the merchants who were about to participate in the battle between the east and west cities of Chang'an and ask for their treasures, he immediately frowned.

The first officer had already vividly told the story of the business traveler being robbed before. What surprised him the most was that when the merchants reported to the official, they cried and robbed the government and said that the few treasures they had hidden were taken away. Including the pearls that were mutes in their mouths, the hairpin that seemed gray on their heads, and the handkerchiefs used for dirty bags, it was actually an extremely strange and thin fabric in the Western Regions. However, the locked cash box that the merchant traveler brought to facilitate shopping on the road, but the five-spin coins were not moved at all, and even the few ingots of gold pressed on the bottom of the box were still there.

For this reason, he also asked the serviceman about the whole story of the business trip. Finally, he learned that the businessman was a caravan of Kucha's big merchant Humair. He had been traveling to the Western Regions and Luoyang to do business. This time he took a few rare treasures to Chang'an to attend the treasure battle conference, which was also to make his name. Now that he has lost valuables, he naturally delayed his trip.

At first glance, the case seemed to be done by the teenager, but it was barely easy to use drugs. How can we find out the place where valuables are hidden in a short time? It is important to know the biggest secret. Not to mention the teenager who was taken in halfway, even the ordinary servants in the caravan would never know about it! What's more, just treasures are lost, and the gold in the money box has not moved. That tycoon really has such a good vision?

While thinking, Du Shiyi comforted her, "I'm afraid you have to work hard to guard the two of you there tonight, especially paying attention to when Twenty-goro will come in and out."

"Yes, don't worry, Du Langjun."

That night, the Wang brothers were still sleeping soundly, but the others were tossing and turning all night long. Du Shisanniang kept persuading Cui Shisanniang until midnight, and Du Shiyi was lying on the bed, and he couldn't think about why Fatty Cui had a sudden idea. He went to another hotel to see the treasures of the treasure-fighting conference, and he had not been asleep for a while. As for the servants and servants of the Cui family, most of them were worried. When the morning drums sounded in the city early in the morning, many people got up with yawning eyes and eyes. However, at this time, the guesthouse welcomed the guests who came to visit.

The person who came to Liu County Wei of the County Party Committee was originally from the Ming Jing, and he had been elected for seven years before he received this official position. Youdao was the thirty-year-old Ming Jing, and the fifty-year-old Jinshi. He was in his early forties and seemed very old, but he was meticulous in his work. He once again confirmed the public experience of the group and learned that the few who were absent were four masters and servants. He was angry and lived elsewhere. He looked Du Shiyi and Wang Wei and Wang Jin for a long time, then he bowed with a smile and said, "I didn't know that the distinguished guests were visiting the guest house last night. I didn't want to meet today, so the two were leaving. Alas, it was a coincidence. The day before yesterday, Gongsun and his party had just passed by the county, but they lived in Taolin Post..."

Du Shiyi was a little absent-minded, only Angel and Gongsun and his group were actually a day earlier than their itinerary, and he listened to it. Thinking that Fatty Cui had to do all the troubles along the way, he didn't know what happened last night, he was a little irritated when he suddenly saw Tian Mo making gestures not far away. He winked at Wang Wei, who was beside him, and then walked towards Tian Mo's finger. When he arrived in the yard outside, he saw the servant who had run several times last night standing there, scooping a handful of water from the copper basin brought by his companions on his face.

The servant splashed his face with biting cold water. He had not slept for a night and was hungry. He finally cheered up. When he saw Du Shiyi, he immediately came forward and said angrily: "Mr. Du Lang! Erwulang doesn't know what's going on. Today I have to go with several groups of business trips who went to the hotel last night. Now I have already set off! Liu Mo has followed me and asked me to come back to report the news!"

When will that damn fat man be more talented?

When Du Shiyi thought that it must be Cui Jiuniang who had caused such a huge trouble, his forehead was immediately exposed. He wanted to teach the little guy a lesson, but now he was not the one who had to consider now. If he was at another point in the other place, he would follow these two servants in a hurry and stay away from home. When he arrived in Chang'an, he handed the little fat man Ping'an to his uncle. No matter whether he would understand or be angry, he would not care. But he thought about it all night last night, and finally felt that this series of things was even more strange.

"You go and prepare horses and wait for my news to chase people."

After saying this, Du Shiyi went straight out of the yard, but almost got full of his heart with the officer who arranged for them to stay in the guest house last night. The officer was stunned and quickly apologized. Du Shiyi suddenly felt blessed and pulled the person aside without saying a word, and asked in a low voice: "I ask you, has the business traveler who was robbed before ever shown the treasures they carried?"

"This..." As Du Shiyi looked at him, the officer hesitated for a moment and simply told the truth, "It was for people to see it. However, that person was the general of General Huo, the commander of General Xiao of Zuo Yulin Army, and the commander Xiao of the True Talisman was a foregone conclusion. He also promised them that they would match General Wang in the future. Naturally, they extremely hoped to climb up with General Wang, a popular figure in the dynasty, and took out all the best things for people to watch one by one without saying a word. It is said that the commander Xiao praised him."

"Then Captain Xiao happened to pass by Taolin?"

"His group returned to Chang'an from Luoyang. When he passed by Taolin, he was a guest from Mingfu. A few days before the caravan even set off, he had already taken his entourage to Chang'an with his entourage."

After hearing this, Du Shiyi's doubts became deeper. He had almost no time to think about it, and rushed back to the room where he had seen people before, and said to Wang Wei in front of the Liu County Magistrate: "Brother Wang, my Thirteenth Lady and Cui Shiqi Niang are temporarily entrusted to you and Wang Shiwulang. I have to take people out immediately and get Cui Shiwulang back first."

Seeing that Wang Wei agreed without thinking, he looked at the Liu County Magistrate and said, "Liu Shaofu, I am in a hurry to chase people now. Can you ask Liu Shaofu to accompany us to the city gate?"

"This..." Just a moment of hesitation, County Magistrate Liu thought that this was not a difficult matter. Besides, the matter involved in the Cui family, it would be better to help him. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, this matter is easy! However, Du Langjun doesn't have to be too anxious. Your companion has no public information. Now the city gate is in a tight check, so he shouldn't let him go!"
