After rebirth, I became the villain’s sister-in-law Bai Yueguang

Chapter 276 Looted

Everyone was in an uproar and looked at each other.

Meng Xingzhi, who had been watching the show among the crowd all day but didn't see anything really interesting, suddenly opened his eyes.

"go."

He looked back at Wu Jing behind him.

Wu Jing realized it immediately and turned around to investigate.

After burning the incense, Wu Jing came back, leaned into Meng Xingzhi's ear and said, "Sir, no signs of suspicious persons were found."

Meng Xingzhi: "It seems that he has left. You and Wu Xue, hurry to the city gate and take a look."

Wu Jing accepted the order: "Yes."

Two quarters of an hour later, the fire was finally brought under control.

Wu Xian ignored the remaining sparks and the choking smoke and rushed into the study that had been burned to rubble.

Of course the books, calligraphy and paintings were all gone.

Wu Xian didn't care, because what he cared about most was his secret room!

Behind the bookshelf that had been burned into charcoal, a small room was exposed to everyone.

The yamen servants and servants quickly dispersed the guests and left.

But with all the fun going on, who else wants to leave?

"At this time, the person who set the fire may still be there. Do you really want to drive them away?"

"Master Wu, it seems that someone deliberately burned down your study."

"That's right, Mr. Wu. How much precious money is hidden in your study? Seeing how eager you are, it should be quite a lot, right?"

"Master Wu, do you want our help?"

Someone laughed, and Wu Xian's confused mind suddenly came to his senses.

"Come here, take them all out and keep them under strict guard! Today, no one can escape unless the culprit of arson is caught!"

Everyone shouted, "Master Wu, you can't wrongly accuse innocent people. I just gave you fifty taels of silver today."

"Yes, Mr. Wu, the common people are also innocent. The common people gave you fifty pieces of fine silk and satin."

"Master Wu, my uncle is the governor of Jiangyuan, you can't touch me!"

"Let go!"

Everyone started making noises.

But Wu Xian has gone crazy. If all his treasures are destroyed, he will drag everyone with him!

Even when Wang Gui stepped forward, Wu Xian ignored him.

He stumbled, ignoring the hot surroundings, and lifted the fallen furniture.

Several large boxes are still there.

However, the silver notes and silver ingots on the shelves were either melted or burned, and there were no traces of them.

Although the treasures on the surface of the box are blackened, they are still there anyway.

Wu almost rolled his eyes first, and then reluctantly turned them back.

Before a smile appeared on his face, Wang Gui suddenly stepped forward: "Wait, that's not right."

Wang Gui used his sword to pick apart the jewelry on the surface and fiddled with it a few times.

What treasure is down there?

All of them are genuine, big rocks!

"Oh, what a big thief, he has robbed all the treasures in your secret room!"

"He also did a trick to change the situation, what a great effort!"

Wang Gui looked at Wu Xian with a sneer, wanting to know if all this was his plan.

After all, he had clearly said half a month ago that he would dedicate all his family wealth to his master.

Otherwise, I would not have kept him alive to this day.

But how much Mr. Wu loves money, Wang Gui has a pure heart.

Therefore, if Mr. Wu planned all this for himself because he was reluctant to part with his family wealth, in order to steal the dragon and turn the dragon into a poor man, he would definitely not spare his life!

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu didn't care at all how Wang Gui doubted him at this time, because after he knew that all his gold and silver treasures and all his family property had been lost, he covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood out of anger - —

"puff--"

Wu Xian could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

After two convulsions, he actually suffered a stroke.

In the county government office, everyone who was imprisoned in the hall was in panic. Meng Xingzhi was still at ease, and had been waiting quietly under the care of the guards.

When Wu Jing came back an hour later, he still just shook his head: "There was no suspicious person before the city gate was closed under curfew."

Meng Xingzhi was completely interested now.

"Oh...? He's quite capable."

"Who could it be...and what method was used to transfer so much property so blatantly...It's interesting."

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

"Go and ask when the people in the troupe left."

When Wu Jing came back, he told Meng Xingzhi that the troupe had left the city at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Meng Xingzhi had a smile on his face.

Wu Zhi gasped when he saw this: "Third Master, what do you mean, could it be those people from the theater troupe...?"

Meng Xingzhi shook his head: "It is impossible for those three religions and nine schools to do it so seamlessly and without any movement. There must be someone else! Moreover, this matter must have been carefully planned for a long time."

Meng Xingzhi thought that today there were not only theater troupes, but also jugglers and other idlers.

The entire county government office is full of people, and the servants can't even take care of the guests. How can they be alert to strangers in the study?

It's really a good time to start.

This Mr. Wu is not only greedy for money, he is also extremely stupid.

I heard that he disappeared mysteriously at home half a month ago, but only one day later, he appeared at home again with injuries all over his body.

But who exactly he was kidnapped by and how he was injured are still a mystery to the outside world.

He wanted to catch the person who harmed him, but he refused to embarrass himself and reveal the details. He thought that the other person was really afraid of his bluff and would not dare to do it again?

Meng Xingzhi suspected that the fact that all Meng Xingzhi's treasures were stolen today was related to Wu Xian's injury half a month ago.

It's just that Mr. Wu was stupid and didn't expect these crises in advance, so he didn't even plan for an ambush.

Wu Xuewen asked: "Sir, do you want to remind Mr. Wu? This matter..."

After all, it was no small matter for a court official to have all his family's treasure stolen.

Meng Xingzhi frowned: "Am I such a meddlesome person? It's just a show, why disturb such a good thing."

Even if this bitch died, he deserved it.

Meng Xingzhi also saw it with his own eyes today, and then he realized what it was like for a mere seventh-grade county official to be an insatiable and corrupt official, lustful, extravagant and extravagant.

It was a birthday banquet for the mother of a county magistrate. The food was delicacies from the mountains and seas, the wine was from a fifty-year-old cellar, and the utensils were gold-plated, silver-plated, and jade.

The banquet was even more extravagant.

In the small county government office, the flowers, landscapes and trees are rare and luxurious, and everything is as extravagant and luxurious as a royal manor.

Not to mention the silks and satins worn by the master of the house, which are of various colors and colors, even the servants wear brocades.

The troupe performs juggling, storytelling and singing.

The place was full of guests and lively.

Compared with those noble families in Shangjing, it is simply worse.

This kind of corrupt officials, if the court does not investigate them and the people do not report them, may they really be able to dominate and live a prosperous life in this small border county.

However, what happened today, not to mention that the corrupt official cannot bear it, is that King Yan wants the gold and silver treasure trove of this little county magistrate, and this time he is afraid that it will be an empty calculation.

Meng Xingzhi was naturally happy to see this happen.

only……

What's so strange about this?

Meng Xingzhi closed his eyes and quickly thought of all these complicated and trivial things.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and thought of something.

"Wait! Escort agency."

His heart skipped a beat.

That escort agency was no ordinary escort agency. He had already heard from Wu Zhi that there were many traps inside, and even Wu Zhi couldn't break into it.

But today.

Just today, the escort agency suddenly emptied out. The girl and everyone else in the escort agency all disappeared and left.

Why such a coincidence?

Or is it serious and just a coincidence?
