Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 161: Tricking Iron Shoes

Jiangnan, Huajia.

Hua Ruling is sitting in the middle, and Fu Hongxue, Lao Shishang, Hua Manlou, Gongsun Lan, Ma Qingfeng, and Lu Xiaofeng are sitting on both sides.

What everyone is talking about is the reappearance of the iron-shoe thief who is making a lot of noise now.

In the past five days, the iron-shoe thief has committed five major cases in a row, including the 100,000 taels of silver escorted by the Jinling Escort Bureau, the 108 luminous pearls secretly hidden by Yangzhou rich man Wang Wanshan, and the "Mingyue Villa" The ancient magic weapon "Giant Sword" cherished by Gong Ziyu, a group of overseas treasures from the "Yibao Zhai" affiliated to "Wanma Hall", and thirty thousand taels of gold bricks just cast from the Zijinshan gold mine.

These five cases happened in different places. It is said that unless the iron-shoe thief had wings, he would never be able to commit crimes in five places in five days.

What's more, these cases are not done on the fly, and must be carefully investigated and planned in advance.

Some people also suspect that the iron shoe thief is not one person, but according to the descriptions of witnesses at the time of the crime, although the man was wearing a mask, his figure and martial arts skills were similar. In addition, the pair of shoes on his feet were unique. The iron shoes have to rule out this suspicion.

As a result, the theory that the Iron Shoe Thief was resurrected from the dead and returned from hell gradually became more common.

Lu Xiaofeng asked Hua Manlou next to him: "Hua Manlou, you experienced the iron shoe thief firsthand, what do you think of this iron shoe thief who appears again?"

Huamanlou said: "Brother Lu doesn't know something. When my master captured the Iron Shoe Thief, he interrogated him and found out that the Iron Shoe Thief was actually a pair of twin brothers, because the other Iron Shoe Thief had gone to the Western Regions, and he was There were other things going on, but they were not announced to the public.”

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized: "So, the Iron Shoe Thief this time is also real, just another Iron Shoe Thief."

Hua Manlou suddenly restrained his usual gentle smile: "I'm not completely sure whether he is another iron-shoe thief. What I am sure of is that since he touched the property of 'Yibao Zhai' belonging to 'Wanmatang', That means death.”

Fu Hongxue, who was sitting opposite Huamanlou, said coldly: "What the third junior brother said is absolutely true, and we must completely resolve this matter before Uncle Hua's birthday party, otherwise when the adoptive father arrives on the day of his birthday, everyone will be too embarrassed to see him. Got it!"

Gongsun Lan smiled sweetly: "Actually, this matter is not unsolvable."

Ma Qingfeng, who was sitting next to her, asked hurriedly: "What ideas does Sister Lan have?"

Gongsun Lan looked around the crowd with his beautiful eyes and chuckled: "No matter who this iron-shoe thief is now, he should be involved with the original iron-shoe thief. I guess he has another motive for committing crimes in such a big way, which is To intimidate the people who participated in the encirclement and suppression of another iron-shoe robber, first make them panic all day long, and then take revenge happily."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Hua Ruling sitting among them.

He twirled his gray beard under his chin and said with a calm smile: "Miss Gongsun's words are indeed reasonable. When I invited a few friends to surround and suppress the iron-shoe bandits, I thought that if something didn't work, I might incur revenge on these friends, so I prepared it in advance They asked them to hide their identities. Therefore, if the iron-shoe thief wants to take revenge, he can only find me or Brother Kongqun. But he is afraid that he does not have the courage to touch Brother Kongqun's 'Heavenly Sword', so I think I am his choice. The designated target for revenge.”

Fu Hongxue already understood what Gongsun Lan meant: "Junior sister wanted to use Uncle Hua as bait to lure the iron-shoe thief to show up, but..."

Gongsun Lan knew that he was worried about Hua Ruling's safety, so he smiled and said: "With juniors like us here, why bother Uncle Hua to kill the chicken with a knife? Just find someone to disguise himself."

Hua Manlou said hurriedly: "This matter is of course my duty, and I would like to ask my senior sister to use her skills to disguise myself."

This was indeed his duty as the Son of Man, and no one competed with him for this job.

Gongsun Lan learned half of his disguise skills from the "Lianhua Baojian" taught by Ma Kongqun, and half from Xiao Biejie. She did not shy away from everyone. She took out several bottles and jars and other tools, and mixed the contents of the jars into a translucent glue in a small clean bowl.

Then, she confessed her crime to Hua Ruling and asked him to sit aside and remain still. He then asked Huamanlou to sit down on another chair, dipped a small brush in translucent glue, and applied a layer on his face.

As she applied it, she kept observing Hua Ruling beside her, and the thickness of the glue changed slightly.

When the glue dried and turned into the color of skin, everyone was surprised to find that Hua Manlou's face had become exactly the same as Hua Ruling's, except that her eyebrows and beard were missing, which made her look a little weird.

Gongsun Lan took another small watering can and sprayed some colorless and odorless potion on Huamanlou's temples and head.

Hua Manlou's black hair turned into the same gray as Hua Ruling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gongsun Lan opened a small box, and inside there were some ready-made eyebrows, beards, etc.

She chose two eyebrows and a beard, trimmed and colored them according to Hua Ruling's look, and applied them to Hua Manlou, then she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Huamanlou and Hua Ruling stood up together and stood side by side.

When everyone looked carefully, they saw that although the father and son had different shapes and clothing, the two heads on their necks were indistinguishable from each other. They were all amazed at that time.

Gongsun Lan said while packing things: "Junior Brother Hua should have no problem imitating Uncle Hua's voice and behavior. It's not difficult for you to shrink your muscles and bones. If you change your body shape a little and put on Uncle Hua's clothes, there will be no flaws at all." there is none left."

Hua Manlou thanked Gongsun Lan in front of her father, then turned to her father and said, "Dad, I have to find a place to hide in the past few days. I think our treasure house is good."

Hua Ruling knew that this was her son's filial piety, and nodded with a smile: "That's fine, but Xiao Qiyou must be more careful."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "There are several senior brothers and sisters here as well as Lu Xiaofeng. Dad, don't worry."

Ma Qingfeng jumped out to express his dissatisfaction: "Brother Hua, how come you only missed me?"

Gongsun Lan frowned slightly: "Do you still want to fight with that iron-shoe thief? Don't forget what the lady gave you when you went out!"

Ma Qingfeng hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course I haven't forgotten that mother said I was not allowed to take risks. But following Sister Lan to watch the excitement, isn't it considered a risk?"

Seeing the pitiful look on his face, even though he knew he was pretending, Gongsun Lan still couldn't bear to refuse. After pondering for a while, he said: "You can watch the excitement, but you must stay close to me, and you are not allowed to act without authorization, otherwise..."

"Listen to Sister Lan in everything!"

Ma Qingfeng immediately became elated and hurriedly came to Gongsun Lan's side, seemingly determined to fulfill his promise from this moment on.
