Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 274 The Thief
After reaching the top floor, when the curtain was pushed open, Tian Qi, Fan Ying, Tian Ying, and Tian Tian were already waiting for Chen Zheng and the others to arrive. The big guys chatted for a while, and soon they were seated.

Originally, the fun tonight was to eat, drink and have fun, not to talk about other things, so Tian Qi didn't say much, just waved his hand and asked the waiter to start serving food, and soon a large table was covered with dazzling arrays, flying in the sky, There are those who run on the ground and those who swim in the water. The wine is also old wine that the store has collected for many years, and the taste is even more mellow.

It can be said that the host and guest had a good time between the toasts and chips.

During the banquet, Tian Qi had a rare joyful smile on his face. It can be said that these few days were the most comfortable days in his time, a life he had never enjoyed in Donglu.

The reason is that Lian Changsheng really took care of Tian Qi.Even the story between Changsheng and Mrs. Qiu still has friendship. Tian Qiqi didn't know about it before. He thought it would be good to have a place to settle down. He planned to settle down first and then find ways to improve his martial arts. develop.

But he didn't expect that when he handed half of the jade pendant to Lian Changsheng, Lian Changsheng was extremely excited, with very complicated expressions on his face, including joy, disappointment, anger, and unwillingness.Tian Qi had never seen so many complex emotions appear on the same person's face at the same time.

And what happened next is even more unbelievable to Tian Qi. Lian Changsheng not only took in a few people, but also directly allocated a caravan in his hand to Tian Qi. This caravan does not need him to run it. The team is full of old businessmen who have been there for many years, so they naturally know how to make money. As long as Tian can't afford it, as long as he sits still, the caravan will continuously provide him with wealth and various cultivation resources.

Not only that, Lian Changsheng was also very fond of Tian Qiqi, the son of his childhood sweetheart. At first, he had some thoughts of adopting him as a foster son, but considering that Tian Qiqi is not too young now, he finally gave up. However, Tian Qi was given the status of vice president of the Lian Chamber of Commerce, and he was also given a large sum of money for Tian Qi to spend. To develop the forces under his command, even Changsheng will not interfere too much.

In addition to these identities and belongings, Lian Changsheng also selected some good players to serve as guards for Tian Qi. Over the years, the Lian's Chamber of Commerce has developed very well, and its tentacles can be said to have Lian's Chamber of Commerce in half of Beiyan. branch and is still expanding slowly.With such a big name and money, it will naturally attract many desperadoes and even casual warriors to come and work hard. Coupled with Lian Changsheng's outstanding personal charm and various interests, he will soon be drawn out. They formed a very capable team, with five Xiantian-level, three Disha-level and one Tiangang-level masters.They are all enshrined by the Chamber of Commerce, with a detached status, except for Lian Changsheng who can command them, no one else can think of it.

Now there is one more person, Tian Qiqi. Lian Changsheng directly asked Qin Gang in the Xiantian realm to lead a group of people to follow Tian Qiqi and be responsible for protecting his personal safety. However, today Tian Qiqi invited Chen Zheng and the others to do this. The old friend's people were having dinner, so they were not asked to follow him. However, at this time, Qin Gang led some people to wait outside, meticulously carrying out Company Changsheng's orders.After all, Qin Gang is different from other worshipers. He has been following Lian Changsheng for a long time. He has known Lian Changsheng since he was handed over by Ren Yazi. At that time, he had not yet shown his martial arts talent, but after the two of them designed After Renyazi released a large number of fellow slaves, he accidentally obtained the cultivation method. Since then, his cultivation has been rising slowly, reaching the current innate realm.Although he is close to middle age, he still has stamina. Lian Changsheng is very relieved about him, so he asked him to protect Tian Qi. It can be seen that Lian Changsheng really attaches great importance to Tian Qi.

Chen Zheng and the others also sighed repeatedly. Tian Qiqi was really extraordinary. He had tempered his will and character from that difficult environment, and now he has received material support. Chen Zheng's dialogue, maybe this kid can really succeed and become a big man who stirs up the situation. The attitude of Shen Kuo and the others, who already had a good impression of Tian, ​​is getting closer and closer. Such a person will definitely not be wrong in the future. Forge a good relationship now, maybe it will be useful in the future.

After the dinner party, the group of people who had eaten and drank enough went back to their respective houses to find their mothers.Of course, there are scenes of Yiyi saying goodbye, but Chen Zheng also said that Tian couldn’t afford to be a guest this time, and Chen Zheng will invite him back in a few days. Today, the group is drinking openly, but they don’t distinguish when drinking. The outcome, the wine in the restaurant's collection is almost not enough, so it's not going well, and the two sides also agreed that the next time they fight for wine, there must be a winner.

Chen Zheng and the others, who were full of drinks, happened to be walking into the yard with their shoulders crossed and their backs crossed. They moved very slowly, just like a grandpa and aunt taking a walk. They were digesting after a meal, otherwise their stomachs would be really swollen. , Of course, everyone still chatted about whether it was a delicious dish or a delicious glass of wine.

A group of people just wandered back to the yard where they lived.

At this time, Chen Zheng was a little dizzy and needed Sun Qiang and Tan Daoji to support him from both sides to prevent him from falling. As the main force in today's drinking competition, Chen Zheng said he had drank two jars of wine and was almost drunk at this time. Now that he was walking unsteadily, Shen Kuo took the first step and came to the door. He was about to open the door and go in, but with his sharp eyes, he noticed something was wrong. The small mark he had placed on the door before going out had disappeared. .This means that someone opened the door after they left.

Shen Kuo immediately gestured to the people behind him, and the members of the action team immediately recovered, it seemed that something was wrong.When Shen Kuo came to Chen Zheng's side, he heard Chen Zheng asking in a low voice: "What's wrong? Brother Shen, something went wrong inside?" Although his mind was a little dizzy, Chen Zheng's consciousness was still very clear.

"Yes, I just found out that the mark I put on the door was erased. It must be someone who sneaked in. I don't know if the person is still inside. I will take a few brothers in to check." After finishing speaking, Shen Kuo clicked a few The team members who drank less at a dinner party followed him over the wall in order not to disturb the people inside.

After a short while, I heard the crackling sound of hands inside, and there seemed to be a scream.Then everything calmed down quickly, and the door of the house was opened, revealing Shen Kuo's figure, asking Chen Zheng and the others to go in and talk.

After such a toss at this time, Chen Zheng's wine was a little more sober, and he saw a black figure in the yard at this time lying upside down at this moment and said: "Who is this? He entered our house? Shen Kuo, please bring Brothers, let’s torture him to find out who this person is, he must be tortured severely, maybe the people on the grassland know we’re here, and sent people over to find out the news.”

Shen Kuo nodded, "Don't worry, Sun Qiang, go and get some hangover soup for the vice captain and everyone. I have a hunch that there may be some gains tonight, so I can't go to bed so early."

"Okay, Brother Shen, I understand." Sun Qiang trotted all the way to the kitchen in the backyard to get hangover soup, while Tan Daoji helped Chen Zheng into the room and sat down.

Shen Kuo and a few others dragged the one lying on the ground into a side room and began to torture him.By the time Chen Zheng drank Sun Qiang's hangover soup, he could clearly hear the sounds of beatings and begging for mercy coming from the next door. Chen Zheng was really worried that Shen Kuo would beat him to death if he got drunk.

Fortunately, this situation did not happen, and soon Shen Kuo said everything that came out of the torture with a strange expression on his face.

The man who broke into their house was named Mao San, a lazy man who was loafing around in Dingbei City. The owner of the problem, but he is very quick in experience. When there is no money, he will pick some places where there are no people. This is not tonight. Chen Zheng took everyone away to attend the dinner invited by Tianqi, so this The people in the house disappeared. When Mao San passed by, he noticed that there was no one in the house. He became greedy for a while, went in to look for money, and found a lot of broken silver. He was happily thinking that he was getting rich At that time, Shen Kuo and others came in directly over the wall and took him down. During the interrogation, Shen Kuo even searched his body. In addition to the broken silver he took in the house, two gold nuggets were found on Mao San’s body. There is a bone plate as white as jade, with many mysterious patterns on it, as if it was carved with something. You can see the obvious one-eyed wolf head on it, which looks extraordinary.

Obviously, the latter two things must have been taken out by Mao San from someone else, otherwise such a loafer would be able to come up with such a large piece of gold later, and the people from the Military Intelligence Department worked hard to do a mission without a single decision. The thieves in Beicheng make more money, which is really a great irony.

And after going to the grassland, Chen Zheng was born to be sensitive to things like wolves. Whether it was Wu Xuan from the Barge Horse Tribe or some stories and novels he read on Blue Star, wolves played a very important role among the grassland people.Chen Zheng asked, "Brother Chen, is this brand Mao San's?" After speaking, Chen Zheng shook the sign in his hand seriously.

Shen Kuo shook his head and said: "No, Mao San said he found it from a man's house, not far from our yard. When passing by our house, he found it was dark inside. He thought he would have a good harvest tonight. So come in."

"Hey, this little thief was unlucky and hit our hands, but Brother Shen said something right, we may gain something tonight, this dog head gold is obviously not an ordinary person, and there is this brand It's not like common people can have it, and the location is not far from us. It's too rare that there is no one in the house in this area. I don't believe there are people who go out to dinner like us. Old Tan, you Take a walk with Sun Qiang, go to the place that Mao San said to see if there is such a place, and see if you can find anything."

"Yes." Tan Daoji cupped his hands, and then took Sun Qiang to find Mao San.

"The workmanship of this brand is quite exquisite, but I always feel that the origin should be extraordinary." Shen Kuo rubbed his chin and said to himself.

"Hey, brother Shen, didn't you notice the wolf head? No one in Beiyan likes wolves. This kind of animal can hurt people and eat our livestock. No one will engrave this thing on the sign, and This bony thing has a sense of age. Beiyan has a lot of pearl jewelry and precious jade, but I have never heard that Beiyan has good bone art skills. I am sure this should come from the north. It seems that this Mao San can be counted as our lucky general, and when he was sleepy and had no pillow, someone brought it up." Chen Zheng had a smile on his face.

Shen Kuo also came to his senses at this time, before he was patronizing and depressed that it was useless to mobilize the crowd to catch a thief, wasting his time for nothing, but he didn't have time to think about it, but now that he heard Chen Zheng's analysis like this, he immediately thought about it. It feels right.This time it really might have been a serendipitous discovery.

Soon Tan Daoji and Sun Qiang came back, but their faces were slightly depressed, obviously they found that things were not going well. "What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Chen Zheng asked first.

Tan Daoji cupped his hands and said, "Vice Captain, we went late. When Sun Qiang and I went to investigate, we found that the house was empty with obvious signs of cleaning. Since the person who lost something didn't choose to report to the police or It must be a guilty conscience to come out to search, and leave in a hurry. Judging from the ashes in the kitchen that have not been cleaned up in the future, this person has been here for a while, and it is a bit weird no matter how you look. And he came out At that time, we also ran into an old man who lived nearby. He said that the people in that house were mysterious. The house had always been empty before, and it was only lived in about a month ago. The two of us I feel that there must be something strange about this person, there must be something shady about this person, even if he is not a prairie person, he should be someone sent from another country."

"Hehe, it's interesting that he ran away suddenly. This matter will be dealt with tomorrow. Everyone should rest early today to recharge their energy. Tomorrow we will catch this big fish first. As for Lin Cheng, he will listen to Chen Xuanfeng's news before making a decision. Yes. Tomorrow morning, let's go to the street order of this street to see if he knows the identity of this person, or check it from the household registration, and then go down and rest."

"Yes, vice-captain."
