Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Among the thirty-six people, he was the only one who was good at stealing. At that time, the temple was moved to the east tower of the city. Thieves in later generations regarded him as their ancestor and prepared wine and dried meat for him in the dark night.

Thieves in this era are also called thieves, and some people call them Lao Rongxing.

They regard Shi Qian or Dongfang Shuo as their ancestor.

In the underworld, thieves belong to the lowest nine classes among the three religions and nine classes. Some people also classify them as one of the eight major sects, which is the thief sect among the eight sects outside the underworld.

The term "thief gate" also came from this.

However, ordinary thieves teach their skills one-on-one or one-on-two, and usually do not teach in groups.

But Jiang Xianshou took a different approach and made Laorongxing bigger and stronger, and actually recruited many disciples and thugs.

This made him rich but also made him looked down upon by the traditional old Rongxing.

The subtlety of Lao Rong's business is not as simple as stealing something.

Hand techniques and eye techniques are just the basics, there are countless other means.

There are many similarities between Daomen and Qianmen, but generally speaking, Daomen focuses on stealing while Qianmen focuses on deceiving.

The technical content of each is different, and it is hard to say which one is better or worse.

Jiang Xian's life was not easy. He was often targeted by his peers, so he could only hire some idle people in society to protect his territory.

Now that such a large area of ​​the People's Market has been lost, the loss must be enormous, but people make mistakes and horses stumble, so it is not surprising.

But Jiang Xianshou often exploited his apprentices. He believed that since he taught them the skills, they should work for him for the rest of their lives.

Once this kind of thought comes out, even if there are no problems in the short term, sooner or later someone will rebel!

Bang Geng is such a person.

He had long looked down upon Jiang Xianshou, but had been tolerating him because he had not learned all his skills.

If he becomes a master one day, it would probably be the end of Jiang Xianshou.

The human heart is hard to predict. Even Jiang Xianshou, who comes from a family of thieves, cannot fully guess what is in people’s minds.

Don’t think that Banggeng hates studying, but it depends on what the project is.

If you ask him to read a book, he can't do it, but learning the skills of stealing requires a lot of effort.

Get started in one day and become proficient in a week.

Now he has been a disciple of Jiang Xianshou for several months. His skills are now second to none among all of Jiang Xianshou's disciples!

what is this?

This is talent!

Gold will shine wherever it goes, and a stick entering a thief's house is like entering his home.

"Master, Cao Xing has some power, so we should not provoke him."

Banggeng was extremely terrified of Cao Xing. When he heard Jiang Xianshou say that he was going to get Cao Xing, he knew that if things went wrong, the entire thief sect would probably disappear!

Jiang Xianshou sneered twice and said, "That's because he hasn't seen my methods yet. Where is his home? I will go there and take away all the valuables in his home today!"

He clenched his hand, as if everything was under his control.

This look of extreme self-confidence may seem very sophisticated to others, but it seems very stupid in Banggeng's eyes.

Having lived in the same courtyard with Cao Xing for many years, he now thinks that the person he should not offend the most is Cao Xing.

Whether it was Sha Zhu who was famous for his martial arts, Xu Damao who was extremely evil, Yi Zhonghai who waved the banner of morality, Liu Haizhong who was full of official power, Yan Bugui who was scheming, Zhang Meng who had a very strong family background, and of course his own grandmother Jia Zhang, all of them fell into Cao Xing's hands.

Combined with what happened today, the more Banggeng understood, the more scared he became.

If Jiang Xianshou really wants to provoke Cao Xing, I'm afraid he will have to inherit his master's legacy in advance!

But the key is that he has not yet completed his skills. He has his own pursuit for Lao Rong's profession. If he wants to do it, he wants to be a figure like the founder!

Therefore, he did not want Jiang Xianshou to die in obscurity just because he had offended Cao Xing.

"Master, his house is in the backyard and the back door is blocked. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go in and out. How about I do it for you?"

"you?"

Jiang Xianshou couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect Banggeng to be so active.

Hearing Jiang Xianshou's doubts, Bang Geng said righteously: "Master, this is a chance for me to make amends."

"Okay, you'll go this time. You're quite capable, and I believe you'll be able to succeed."

After receiving the order, Bang Geng immediately went out.

Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to actually steal from Cao Xing's house.

Not to mention what Cao Xing had in his back-up plan, even if he could successfully steal the things, he would probably have to run away.

With Cao Xing's connections, he couldn't stay in Sijiu City anymore.

Banggeng doesn't want to get into this bad luck.

He stayed outside for a whole day and then returned to Jiang Xianshou.

"Master, I'm sorry to disappoint you. After observing the surrounding situation, I successfully entered the compound without anyone noticing. However, Cao Xing's lock was locked from the inside, and I couldn't open it."

Jiang Xianshou narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but become a little interested.

"Doors that can be locked are usually found in the homes of high-ranking officials. There must be something valuable in Cao Xing's home."

Nowadays, most families just close the door and call it a day; some don’t even bother to close it.

There is nothing valuable in the house. A thief would shed tears if he breaks in. According to Bang Geng, there must be something valuable or extraordinary in Cao Xing's house.

For Jiang Xianshou, it doesn't matter which of these two things he gets.

"I taught you how to open a locked house, and you learned how to open it."

Then Jiang Xian took out a bunch of small tools. These tools were made by senior technicians at a high price. The person who could make this set of lock-picking tools must be at least a level six worker.

"Every old man uses roughly the same tools, but he adjusts the size according to his own technique..."

After an hour's introduction and a day's practice, Banggeng has mastered the essence of it.

He was like a sponge, madly absorbing what this cheap master taught him.

Another day later, Banggeng came back dejected again.

Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Jiang Xianshou could not help but ask angrily, "What's wrong with you? Don't tell me that there is nothing valuable in his house, or that you have taken everything away!"

Bang Geng said aggrievedly: "Master, don't mention it. I didn't go into the house this time."

"What did you say? Didn't I teach you all the methods?"

"Yeah, but unfortunately his sister came back suddenly. His sister has been in the yard the whole time, and I really can't get in from the yard."

The joke is completely made up. Cao Xing doesn't have any younger sister, but he has several sweet sisters and sweet sisters.

"Well, in that case, I'll teach you how to open the skylight. You can go down from the roof at night when no one is around."

Jiang Xianshou did not suspect anything, but was more curious about what was in Cao Xing's room.

There must be something important here since someone is watching him even though he is not there.

Seeing that he could learn something again, Banggeng naturally started to study seriously.

This went on for half a month.

During the past half month, Banggeng tried every possible way to learn things. In addition, he always said that there was a big shot in Cao Xing's room, so he hung up Jiang Xianshou and learned a lot of his skills.

He understood things quickly, and since he was young, after practicing day and night, his techniques, eye techniques and various theories were no less than Jiang Xianshou's. It could be said that he was better than his master!

Jiang Xianshou saw Banggeng returning empty-handed again that day and he could not sit still any longer.

"I'm going there myself this time, kid. If it's really as you said, it's fine. But if there's anything wrong, I'll kill you when I get back!"
