Chapter 45 Stolen Treasure I

There was a noisy downstairs. Ling Tianhong walked out of the door and stood in the corridor and looked downstairs. Fu Haoxuan and others really quarreled with those vendors. When the time was almost time, he went back to the room, closed the door and changed into night clothes, and quietly came to the door of the gray-robed peddler's room on the second floor.

Gently pushed the door open a gap and looked through the gap. A man was sitting at the table with his back to the door, shaking his head and humming a little song.

Ling Tianhong carefully opened the door and flashed in. Without the man's awareness, he slapped his back and neck and fainted on the table.

There was no one else in the room. Ling Tianhong immediately walked to the four large wooden boxes piled up inside. He opened the wooden boxes and saw that they were some leather goods. He picked up the leather goods. As he guessed, they were all kinds of treasures. Ling Tianhong put the leather goods back in place and covered the box.

Open another large wooden box, which is also a layer of leather goods, and the bottom is still an antique treasure.

When I opened four boxes in a row, I never saw the treasures and jade seals lost in the palace. It seems that these are not what they are looking for. Although they are treasures, they are not the ones lost in the palace.

I put the lid on the box, left the room, and quietly came to the two guest rooms at the end of the downstairs. Ling Tianhong peeked at the door of the room, and there were two men guarding it.

Ling Tianhong flashed inside and immediately closed the door with his backhand.

"Who are you?" One of them asked in surprise when he saw Ling Tianhong, dressed in black.

Another man saw that he dressed up like this and started fighting directly, hitting Ling Tianhong's face and wanted to grab his masked black cloth.

Ling Tianhong quickly put him to the ground, grabbed the one who was about to run to the door, and pulled him back. The two fought in the room, and the noise outside could not be heard at all.

This is slightly better than the one, but Ling Tianhong only used two moves to lay him on the ground and fainted.

Ling Tianhong went to the box and opened it. There was some cloth on it. He took the cloth away and it was full of rare treasures. He picked up a jade Guanyin and looked it upside down. There was actually a word 'yu' on the base. This batch is really a treasure in the palace.

Open another box, and it is still the same. Time is running out and you can't find the jade seal.

Just as Ling Tianhong turned around to open the door and go out, the door was pushed open. Three people came in. Looking at the accomplices on the ground and Ling Tianhong in black, he shouted, "Who is it?"

Ling Tianhong took a step back, and then raised his foot and kicked the one in front. The man dodged and dodged the foot; the two people behind also dodged and scattered.

The three of them pestered Ling Tianhong to prevent him from leaving the door. Ling Tianhong was afraid that their people would come back, so he quickly walked to the door and was about to go out, but one of them pulled his clothes and had to turn around and fight with them again.

These three people's martial arts skills are much better than those of the two. Ling Tianhong did not dare to fight, so he had to fight quickly.

He raised his hand and split the face of the person who grabbed his clothes. He blocked it with his bare hands, and his hands crossed. The hands of both sides suddenly felt a little numb and strong.

Ling Tianhong secretly raised his internal force, jumped up and split his leg straight to one of them. This kick was very powerful; the other party immediately jumped away and then swept out another kick.

At this time, another man in a blue robe on the side somehow pulled out a long knife and chopped at him.

Seeing this, Ling Tianhong had no weapon in his hand and could not touch it hard, so he dodged and looked for an opportunity to flirt with him.

It's not difficult to win these three people, but the position is narrow and it's not easy to show your skills.

With Ling Tianhong's internal strength gathered, his eyes swept away with cold light, and he went straight to one of the men who fought with his bare hands. He hit the other party directly with his fists and feet. He was so fast that the other party had never understood it, and his face was slapped twice hotly. In an instant, his teeth were knocked down a few, and his mouth was full of bloody smell.

He covered his mouth and dared not come forward again. He spit out his mouth full of blood and stared at Ling Tianhong fiercely, looking for an opportunity to fight back.

The man who waved the knife saw that his companion was beaten with blood. He waved the long knife in his hand fiercely and pressed him step by step. Ling Tianhong, who was masked, looked coldly at the long knife in his hand, carefully avoided it, looking for an opportunity to subdue him.

The man who had been hit with his teeth turned around and pulled out a dagger hanging on the wall. Ling Tianhong saw that he was a little crazy. His face under the black cloth snorted coldly and quickly circled behind him, slapped him and hit him directly on the head.

He suddenly collapsed on the ground, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. His eyes were wide open, and he twitched a few times and did not move. It can be thought that he returned to the west.

After solving one, there were still two left. Seeing that Ling Tianhong was so ruthless, he did not dare to rush forward. He turned to the bedside and picked up his knife, stood with the man in blue robe, holding a knife and staring at him, ready to attack at any time.

Ling Tianhong kicked the dagger on the ground, grabbed it in his hand, and stabbed them with the dagger.

With his right hand holding a sword and a knife, and his left hand is not idle under his feet. Ling Tianhong's own martial arts are top masters. Now, with the protection of Dragon Ball and its strength, these two are like eggs hitting stones in front of him.

In a moment, he solved the two to the ground, and Ling Tianhong left his short sword and dodged out.

At this time, other accomplices were walking towards the guest room and saw a man in black dodging out of the door and turning around the corner.

One of them couldn't help shouting, "No," and then chased after him. He saw a figure disappearing at the corner, waiting for him to come forward and disappear.

Immediately back to the room, I saw that the five people were lying on the ground. After checking that only two people died, the other breath was just fainting.

I went back to check the big wooden box and found that everything was intact and intact. I immediately suspected that the person in black came here for this purpose. Since it is not theft, what is it? Or has the theft not been found or has another purpose?

The leading man in purple was suddenly puzzled. He only knew that the man in black must be one of the inn. He turned around and said to one of his men, "Go back quickly and ask the boss to send more people. Maybe the thing has been found, or someone else has peeped at the idea of this batch of goods and asked him to send more people to support.

"Yes" the other party left.

Ling Tianhong returned to the room and took off his night clothes. He knocked on the partition wall. The partition wall opened, and a cat's waist drilled over.

"Leader, how's it going? Is it them?" Shangguan Feihong asked eagerly.

"It's the group of fat people downstairs. They all have the word 'royal' in their treasures. It must be the lost treasure in the palace, but I didn't see the jade seal." Ling Tianhong's slender fingers bounced gently on the table.

"Isn't the jade seal stolen by this group of people?"

Ling Tianhong thought for a moment, "It's hard to say, but I haven't looked through all of them. I just looked at it on the surface. In my opinion, Yuxi is not done by this group."

"How to say this?" Shangguan Feihong is puzzled.

"This batch of treasures must be sent outside the customs, because every treasure has the word 'royal'. The people in the customs are basically afraid to receive this goods, only the people outside dare to receive it, and what is the use of the jade seal for people outside the customs? And it's much easier to steal treasures than to steal jade seals. Ling Tianhong gradually had an idea.

"The leader means..."

"The treasure and the jade seal were lost on the same day. Stealing the treasure is just a cover. The real purpose of colluding inside and outside is to steal the jade seal; and what is the use of stealing the jade seal? Just think about it." Ling Tianhong smiled and said, "It's naturally useless for ordinary people to steal jade seals. At most, they sell a few dollars and no one dares to collect them. Who will spend a lot of money to steal a jade seal just to sell a few dollars? But for senior officials, especially those who are plotting against evil, it is of great use, such as false edicts..."

"The leader means that the person who steals the jade seal must be the person who plots to be evil in the palace, so this person is Wu Kui." Shangguan Feihong understood at this time.

Ling Tianhong nodded: "At present, it seems to be like this. Wu Kui is the most suspected, but it is not ruled out that others have done it."

Shangguan Feihong "In this way, the scope of our search has narrowed a lot."

"Hmm"

"I don't know what the leader wants to do next?"

"Now that the treasure has been found, now we need to find out who their boss is, who to trade with, and then find the leaders of the two sides, and then see what the relationship is between them."

"So you are not in a hurry to capture them and take back the treasures?"

"No hurry." Ling Tianhong smiled on his face: "If the guess is correct, it must be the Western Regions who will take over." Ling Tianhong thought that Yawulan's come from was definitely not small, and he could know it from her tone.

"But what are those who dare to eat the treasures in the Middle-earth palace are not what ordinary traders dare to do." Shangguan Feihong has always doubted the identity of this group of people.

"According to my contact with the woman Ya Ulan, this woman must not be an ordinary peddler's lady. She is arrogant, her martial arts skills are not weak, and her speech is extremely unruly and capricious, but she looks like a spoiled princess."

"Princess of the Western Regions?" Shangguan Feihong was a little surprised.

"It's just a guess, even if it's not, it should be the daughter of a prince-level family." Ling Tianhong's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about what Yawulan said, 'Come with me, I'm sure it's better than you as a swordsman.' It seems that she must be the daughter of an official eunuch, and she is not an ordinary official eunuch.

"Suppose she is the princess of the Western Regions, and then assume that Wu Kui is behind the scenes of this batch of goods..." Shangguan Feihong had foreseen the result.

Ling Tianhong: "If this is the case as we guess, then the purpose of Wu Kui, the old thief, is obvious; it is just that there is a lack of substantial evidence. If the emperor wants to govern such a high-ranking official, he must pay attention to the most substantial evidence, and it is best to get the hard evidence that he is most favorable to the enemy to usurp the throne."

Shangguan Feihong nodded and smiled, "As long as he has this idea, we will have a chance to get evidence. It's a matter of time before he is taken down."

"This matter should start from Yawulan. She must be the receiver of this batch of goods."

"That's up to you..." Shanggong Feihong suddenly thought of Lin Qingxia when he said this, and his face turned red.

"What's wrong with you? You suddenly blushed so much." Ling Tianhong was so puzzled when he saw him.

"There is no..."
