Chapter 1219: Chaotic Jin Ling!

The plum rain season arrived, and the drizzling rain fell along the eaves.

Looking at the water droplets dripping from the lotus flowers raised in the clay pot, Zhang Cheng looked at the sky leisurely.

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Cuizhu said, "Young Master, you must not forget, there seems to be some chaos in the city today, you had better not go out!"

"Is that so?"

Looking at Cuizhu beside him, Zhang—the culprit—Cheng, looked ignorant.

"Recently, many families have been robbed; it is said to be a thief who can fly!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Cuizhu explained.

"Really?"

Feigning surprise, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Wei Ge'er at the street corner told me; it is said that the Embroidered Uniform Guards have arrested many people!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Cuizhu appeared very afraid when mentioning the three words "Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Don't worry, I am a scholar, they dare not arrest me!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng said indifferently.

Since encountering the Fragrant Incense Sect that night, the frequency of Zhang Cheng going out has increased; after all, this thing cannot be left alone.

So Zhang Cheng investigated the Fragrant Incense Sect while being a gentleman on the beam; unfortunately, there was no clue at all.

However, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were very busy, arresting the Fragrant Incense Sect on one hand, and looking for him, the flying great thief, on the other!

In the East City, in a mansion with a five-entry courtyard,

The wealthy merchant who woke up roared hysterically after seeing the warehouse in his home was robbed: "Heaven-killing thief, my silver, all my silver is gone..."

Unable to catch his breath, the wealthy merchant collapsed directly to the ground.

Looking at the Master's appearance, the wives and concubines who came up shouted hurriedly.

A quarter of an hour later, when the Yamen runners who arrived saw this familiar scene, they immediately covered their faces.

Because this was not the first time they had seen such a scene; for a month, this kind of thing would basically happen every night.

When it was good, it was one or two families; when it was bad, it was a whole street, so they were all used to it.

"Wuwuwu, the family property I saved for more than ten years, it was stolen just like that, beast, beast..."

Sitting on a chair and patting his legs, the wealthy merchant couldn't help but cry out.

"Master, isn't there still silver in our family's underground treasury?"

Looking at her husband in such pain, the main wife beside him hurriedly spoke up.

"Right, underground treasury, underground treasury!"

Running desperately toward the underground treasury, after the wealthy merchant opened it, he immediately gasped and collapsed directly to the ground.

Looking at the Master, the wives and concubines who arrived were also stunned in place, because the entire underground treasury had also been emptied.

Not long after, when the Embroidered Uniform Guards arrived, they also investigated the scene with a headache.

After all, encountering this kind of thing, they had no way.

You say the thief stole a few thousand or ten thousand taels, that's fine, but now, the accumulated silver is almost ten million; how can they find it?

Wild geese leave traces, but the person didn't even have traces; where can you find them!

However, just when the Embroidered Uniform Guards hadn't finished their work here, someone ran in and shouted: "Not good, Hundred-Household, the Zhen family, the Zhen family has also been robbed!"

"What?"

Suddenly hearing this news, the Embroidered Uniform Guard Hundred-Household felt the world spinning.

Because that is the Zhen family! The thief's guts are too big!

As the President of the Tiren Academy in Jin Ling Province, Jiangnan, the Zhen family's status is "infinitely high"!

Because their ancestor was the wet nurse of the Retired Emperor!

Regarding Jiangnan affairs, the Zhen family has the ability to reach the heavens!

It is precisely because of this that the Zhen family has such a status in Jiangnan, because they have the duty of supervision!

Just when the officials in Jin Ling City were busy, Zhang Cheng was playing with a jade pendant.

Looking at the priceless treasure spinning like a butterfly in his hand, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "The world says immortals are good, only gold and silver cannot be forgotten..."

"Young Master, Wei Ge'er has come to find you!"

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Cuizhu served tea.

"Wei Ge'er is here?"

Hearing Cuizhu's words, Zhang Cheng got up, tidied his robe, and immediately walked up with a smile.

"Uncle, the house you asked your nephew to find has been found; it's by the Qin Huai River. When will you go see it?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Wei Ge'er spoke up.

"Oh, really?"

Looking at Wei Ge'er in surprise, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, I ran to many slave trader shops!"

Revealing a smile at Zhang Cheng, Wei Ge'er spoke up.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go see it!"

Hearing Wei Ge'er's words, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, because he could finally enjoy life.

Imagine living by the Qin Huai River, and when there is nothing to do, you can go listen to music in the brothel; isn't that a beautiful thing in the world...

"Young Master, umbrella, umbrella!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng was about to go out, Cuizhu immediately handed him an umbrella.

"Many thanks, Sister!"

Holding the umbrella, Zhang Cheng smiled.

A few days later, the sun was bright, just right for moving.

The carriage moved many things into the courtyard; the slave trader looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Young Master, this courtyard is a total of four thousand six hundred taels..."

"Here!"

Handing the banknotes to him, Zhang Cheng said, "By the way, this Young Master also wants to find some honest serving women!"

"Young Master, rest assured, I will arrange it for you; I guarantee they are from clean families!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the slave trader revealed a happy smile.

And just after the slave trader left, Wei Ge'er said in surprise, "Uncle, could it be that Grandfather earned silver outside?"

"That's right, indeed so!"

Taking out a piece of silver, about twenty taels, Zhang Cheng handed it to Wei Ge'er and said, "These days, you have worked hard!"

"Uncle, this won't do!"

Refusing Zhang Cheng's kindness, Wei Ge'er hurriedly spoke up.

"You and I are uncle and nephew, why say these things! Go back and buy something good for your mother!"

Stuffing the silver to Wei Ge'er, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

All these years, he rarely walked around in the family, and only Wei Ge'er, a contemporary who was about the same age as him, interacted with him.

Although the two were uncle and nephew, they were more like close friends!

"If so, then thank you, Uncle!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wei Ge'er heard him say this and finally accepted the silver.

Humming a little tune, the slave trader was happily returning.

However, just as he turned the corner, an entrenching tool smashed from behind.

"Duang!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the slave trader immediately collapsed to the ground.

The strength was just right, stunned but not hurting the brain!

Squatting down, Krieg took the banknotes from his bosom and then turned and left.

A three-entry courtyard, wanting four thousand six hundred taels? Are you kidding?

The old saying goes well: carts, boats, feet, shops, and slave traders, even if they are not guilty, they should be killed!

Not to mention being by the Qin Huai River, even if it were at the foot of the Imperial City, this would be expensive.

So Zhang Cheng chose a free ride!

After waking up, when the slave trader touched the banknotes in his bosom, he was stunned and roared: "Thief, there's a thief! Wuwuwu, heaven-killing thief..."

Two days later, when the slave trader appeared before Zhang Cheng again, his head was wrapped in a circle of cloth.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Zhang Cheng asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"Young Master, I just went out, and was knocked by a thief at the corner!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with grievance, the slave trader couldn't help but collapse.

"Why didn't you bring more people?"

Looking at the slave trader curiously, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Five people, all were knocked; that person is a beast, a beast!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the slave trader couldn't help but be angry.

Looking at the slave trader with twitching corners of his mouth, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Alright, introduce some people to me!"

"Alright, Young Master, this is Wu Shi..."

Just as the slave trader introduced them, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, thinking about knocking him again later!

Slave trader: Although I should be killed, can't you be a human?

Zhang Cheng: Am I still a human?
