55 Days of Escape

Gusu County never sleeps all night, and three yamen runners searched the mysterious thief across the city.

The major gangs in the world also investigated and corrected themselves. After all, those who dared to go to Hanshan Taoist Temple to steal treasure books must be top experts in the world, and their disciples from big gangs are also suspected.

The head of the Tianying Gate is in Gusu County, so it is naturally even more in a panic. Under the order of General Manager Liu, the law enforcement team of the inner hall of the Tianying Gate began to track down the disciples who had left the head of the day.

The young disciples of the law enforcement team found the swordsman guarding the gate.

The swordsman at the gate quickly reported that the main gate of the stele was closed at night. However, some disciples from the back door entered and left late at night. Among them were disciples from the inner sect and disciples from the sergeant hall.

A Chou pushed a manure truck and lowered his head to a thatched cottage in the backyard, preparing to take out the manure.

Soon, he was stopped by several law enforcement disciples from the inner sect of Tianying Sect and asked harshly where he had left the head office tonight.

When Ah Chou saw these senior brothers from the law enforcement team, he was so shocked that he sat on the ground, and his face turned pale.

"Several brothers, I have accumulated a lot of feces in the hall these days. I am afraid that my senior brothers will blame me if they smell the smell during the day, so I went out to fall some at night.

I'll take out feces for you every day. Is it easy to earn these copper coins? What am I doing? If you suspect that I have stole the things in the hall, come and search. If I find them, I will confess my guilt!"

After a while, Ah Chou came to his senses and burst into tears with grievance.

"Go and go away!"

"Forget it, what can a hard laborer who carries manure has to do with good or bad doubts? Let's go and see what those inner disciples do at night."

These young senior brothers from the law enforcement team all looked disgusted and pinched their noses and waved their hands. How could they search for him? The hard-working clothes might even be dirty and bad luck.

Seeing that they had walked away, Ah Chou put away his tears, hummed a few smugs and stood up.

His cultivation level is low, but he is not stupid either.

Brother Chen had long said that there were great risks in doing this, and after doing it, he had to go back to Tianying Gate to hide it immediately. Therefore, before he set out at night to explore the Taoist temple with Su Chen at night, he had prepared a manure truck and transported the manure out of the city.

When he came back, he also pushed the manure truck back.

If someone suspected his whereabouts, he would say he had gone out of the city to pour manure. Who would have eaten enough and had nothing to do? He was investigated after a third-rate hard laborer drove a manure truck out of the city at night.

...

This big storm that shocked the Wujun River and the West lasted for three days.

Three days later, the yamen runners in Gusu County finally relaxed their search for the theft of Hanshan Taoist Temple and no longer searched from house to house.

The city officials at each city gate also gave up blocking and interrogating those entering and leaving the city, opened the city gate again, allowing the people to enter and exit.

After all, there are 100,000 households in Gusu County, and the lockdown in the city disturbs the people. Every day, a huge long queue is lined up at the city gate, and it takes an hour or two to enter and exit.

The Gusu Canal is also a transportation hub for the North and South Grand Canal, with thousands of merchants gathering. If it is blocked, the investigation of the water and land routes will have too much impact on the people and the business movement, so the passage will have to be opened.

In addition to the Gusu Yamen, the rich merchants from all sizes and gangs in the Wujun River and Lake also set up checkpoints everywhere in the water and land roads, but there was no news.

The city-wide search for three days in the first three days was not found any useful clues of the thief, and the hope would become even more slim in the future.

This high enthusiasm in the world quickly subsided.

The major theft case of Hanshan Taoist Temple lacks key information. That is, the Hanshan Taoist priests have never seen the appearance of the thief.

This means that the scope of suspicion is too large and the difficulty is unimaginable.

If everyone checks one by one, even a vegetable dealer or porter on the roadside may be disguised as a thief.

However, how could an ordinary little thief steal the treasure book without knowing it from the eyes of the first-class master Qinghe and the Taoist audience masters closely guarded it with the short cup of tea?

It’s not easy to catch such a top thief!

If you can't find this thief, it will naturally be even more difficult to find the treasure book. The treasure book itself is very small, just find a corner to hide it. Who knows where to search?!

Considering these difficulties, the search efforts of the major gangs have been significantly relaxed.

...

Su Chen had no place to live in the city. During the three days of lockdown, he had to stay in Yanyulou.

Yanyulou also knew that the yamen runners were blocked from entering and leaving, so many businessmen and rich merchants from other places could only stay in Yanyulou for the time being.

Su Chen survived until the third day, and the blockade of Gusu County was finally lifted, allowing the people to enter and exit at will. He immediately looked for an opportunity to bring the Jade Slips to the Servant Hall of Yaowang Villa five miles away from the county town, and no longer step out of the mountain gate.

When Su Chen returned to the villa, he hid the book of jade slips deep in the dense forest of the back mountain, and no longer read it. He only worked chores in the chores every day to avoid being suspicious.

After just returning to the villa for a half-month, Su Chen was still nervous and couldn't sleep every night.

He was worried that he would leave some flaws in the Taoist temple, but the Hanshan Taoist priests found clues and suddenly found them to the villa and forced the Medicine King to hand over the mansion.

Or maybe the Taoist priests caught A Chou who was sprinkling chicken blood outside the Taoist temple. However, A Chou left early and should have returned to the Tianying Gate very early. There was no news in the past half month, and obviously no one suspected A Chou.

As for Miss Annu in Yanyulou, she seemed to have noticed something wrong. However, she did fall asleep at that time, and there was no evidence that he had left the boudoir.

Moreover, she did not tell the story of her sleeping for half an hour on the spot, but instead proved herself that she had been in the room all the time, so she should not say anything to the public anymore.

Su Chen carefully recalled every detail and left no flaws, which was enough to make the Taoists insist that they did it themselves, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Su Chen has been doing odd jobs in the mail hall for half a month. Once, he heard several young mail hall seniors chatting about the case of theft of the treasure book in Hanshan Taoist Temple.

Their conversation was as if they had experienced it personally.

"The government government offices, the four major gangs of Baidao, and the vicious water bandits of the gang giant whale gang gave Hanshan Taoist temple enough to receive the Hanshan River and Lake post.

Even the people in our Gusu County have been inconvenient for life in lockdown, but they heard that the Hanshan Taoist Temple was stolen and then closed the road, but there was no complaint. If this matter was to be put on several other gangs, the people had already become resentful and unimaginable!"

"This incident also shows that Hanshan Zhenren has a high prestige among the government, the world, and even the people, which is beyond the reach of people."

"No mistake, our Medicine King Gangmaster Sun has been curing illnesses and saving lives in Wu County for fifty or sixty years. Although he has been respected by the world and the people, he is afraid he will not be able to do this."

"That's natural. Our Sun Gangmao will give at most hundreds of people a favor, but it's limited. How can we compare to Hanshan's real people preaching? Believers and pilgrims spread across the thirteen counties of Wu County and are admired by all the people."

Some young errand disciples around him agree deeply.

"Everyone knows what you said, it's nothing. A few days ago, I went to our Yaowang Gang's most powerful swordsman hall to do business. I saw that Zhiwang Gang was conducting self-inspection and correction with my own eyes. Any inner disciple who reached the first-class level must explain the movements that night to the top leaders in detail, and someone must testify, otherwise they will be severely tried. Our Yaowang Gang has also made up his mind to track down the whereabouts of the treasure book!"

A senior brother of a serious servant couldn't help but sigh.

The disciples of the errands felt sad.

Fortunately, the other three halls were only inspecting the sword and the alchemy hall, so there was no need for this to do with the other three halls... It seems that the senior executives of the Medicine King Gang also knew that the disciples of the other halls were too weak and did not have the ability to commit a heinous case at all.

Su Chen sighed after hearing the chats between the young peddlers, not knowing whether it was surprise or joy.

It seems that I have been worrying for half a month in vain.

Even the Internal Affairs Hall and the Sword Protection Hall were not investigated, let alone the disciples of the Meridian Hall where he was. They were not qualified to accept the self-inspection and self-correction of the Medicine King Gang.

No one would believe that a mere erotic man could steal treasure books from the Hanshan Taoist Temple, which is full of experts, from the nose of the top senior master, Taoist Qinghe.

The serious servant courtyard of the Medicine King Gang has hundreds of serious servant disciples of all levels. Who would stare at a low-level deacon like him?!

By this calculation, the possibility of the senior executives of the Medicine King Gang even asking him for questions is very slim.

The sergeants were having a great excitement when they suddenly saw the deacon Zhou Mie's eyes coming. They were afraid of being scolded, so they hurriedly dispersed to work their own work.

The servants actually didn't really care about this matter, they just used the theft of the Taoist treasure book as a topic of conversation after dinner.

After all, the storms and waves in the world are too far away from the trivial and mediocre life of the disciples of the married yard.

The world has always been the world of experts.

Few slaughter men with low cultivation and low martial arts skills have the qualifications and thoughts to get involved in major cases in the world.

Perhaps, the disciples of the Zhijian Hall and the Alchemy Hall will be more concerned. When they walk around the world, they will ask if there are any thieves. Maybe they will catch the thieves and find the treasure book back, and make Hanshan Zhenren owe a favor. It is a very cost-effective deal.

However, for the mail disciples, getting up every morning to open their eyes is just a busy worker!

It would be more practical to go to the neighboring county to send a letter and earn dozens of extra copper coins.

Su Chen waited patiently for another month.

At this moment, no one even discussed the outdated storm among the disciples of the Medicine King Gang who were "far from the world". It can be seen that this matter has been calm in the world and there is no movement.

He finally let go of his fearful heart and mocked himself. He was really careful and did not leave any chance of leaking it to the old Taoist Qinghe.

On this day, Su Chen took a mail-service mission to send letters to other counties for three days.
