Shengjing Noble

Chapter 556 Wanted Reward

"Don't worry. Here are five hundred taels of silver and an antidote. Take the money and run away. Don't come back."

"How can this be possible... What if the government..."

"Haha, your shopkeeper doesn't dare to report to the authorities. These banknotes are ill-gotten gains. He can't explain the whole story, so the authorities will arrest him before arresting you. What's more, with all this money, you can run away wherever you want, and they can't catch you even if they want to."

When the young man heard this, he immediately thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir. I'll leave now!"

Su Lanyin smiled: "You are a teachable kid, you are a teachable kid. Go ahead, go ahead. Remember, the farther away you are, the better."

"Yes!"

The young man ran away happily with the banknote, but Su Lanyin gave him a wicked smile.

It’s just a dream for a thief to live a good life!

Not only did she take the shopkeeper's banknotes, she also took away some of the most valuable things in his house.

Originally, the shopkeeper would not have thought of the waiter, but now, the man has run away, and the shopkeeper can't help but be suspicious.

Su Lanyin returned home with a full load of things on her back. She thought that if she continued like this, sooner or later she would surpass her grandfather and become the richest person.

……

The next day.

When the shopkeeper woke up, he felt a little dizzy and groggy, as if he was unable to wake up.

He held his forehead and sat up, looking around, only to find that there were several empty spaces on the shelves, as if something was missing.

"and many more!"

He suddenly reacted, became much more sober instantly, and immediately got out of bed and ran to the shelf to check.

Sure enough, all his favorite antiques disappeared.

He thought of something and turned around to lift the pillow. Sure enough, all the banknotes underneath were gone!

"Oh no! Oh no! There's a thief..."

Just as he was about to shout, he thought of the boy and immediately covered his mouth.

"No! I can't make it public. These banknotes were stolen. If the government investigates, won't I be doomed too?"

Thinking of this, he was scared and angry. Just as he was about to turn around and go out to look for someone, he saw a crooked note on the table, which was obviously written by the left hand.

"Hero Yisaoguang was here!"

Looking at the contents of the note, the shopkeeper was furious.

It was clearly the guy who stole it, and he even left a note. This is a blatant provocation!

Do you think that since he doesn't dare to report to the police, there's nothing you can do about this bastard?

He has plenty of ways!

The shopkeeper immediately went out to find the guards in the yard and whispered, "Go find me some tracking experts!"

"Yes!"

Less than half an hour later, one of the best tracking experts in the world appeared in front of the shopkeeper.

The other party was very cold and arrogant, and went straight to the point: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper quickly explained: "It's like this, I have a young man here, because of some conflicts, he stole the ornaments and banknotes in my room and ran away."

The other party was not a fool and asked directly: "Why don't you report to the police?"

"This is not a big deal. I don't want him to go to jail. After all, he worked for me before. I can't bear it. I just want him to get his stuff back."

Seeing his pleasant smile, the other party's face became even colder, but he did not expose him.

"Okay, I know there must be something shady. Since you asked me, I will definitely bring it back to you. Don't worry, I will bring the person back to you as well."

After saying that, the man turned and left, his back looking very handsome.

……

In the afternoon, just as the man said, he captured the boy and found five hundred taels of silver on him.

"When I caught him, he was in the gambling house."

"What? A gambling house? How dare you use my money to gamble? You're courting death!"

The shopkeeper immediately rushed forward and kicked the young man in the chest, causing him to spit out blood immediately.

The tracking expert stood aside and watched, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Is this the legendary "can't bear it"?

The young man's features were distorted with pain, but he still hurriedly explained: "I just went in and hadn't started gambling yet, but I was caught and brought back. Shopkeeper, you must believe me!"

"Where are my things?"

"What is it?" The young man suddenly became nervous, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"You don't know, right? Looks like you need me to give you a tight skin!"

As he said this, the shopkeeper took out a horsewhip from the cupboard and without saying a word, he whipped the young man with it, causing him to cry out in pain.

The shopkeeper became more and more excited as he beat the boy, while the boy rolled back and forth on the ground in agony.

"Ah...ah...Master, please spare my life..."

Unfortunately, no matter how much he begged for mercy, it was of no avail until the shopkeeper’s attack was too ruthless and he knocked the man unconscious, and then he stopped.

"You shameless dog slave, you are really pushing your luck!"

"Sir, please give me some money, and I'll leave right away!"

The shopkeeper took out some silver from his pocket and threw it over. The man took it and turned away.

Looking at the wounds on the boy's body, the shopkeeper angrily kicked him and ordered, "Come here, drag him into the woodshed and wait for me to interrogate him later!"

……

On the other side, Su Lanyin continued on her way and pawned her belongings at the next place, exchanging them for silver bills.

She counted and found that she was in a hurry when she left, so she only took a few hundred taels with her.

But now, he had more than 7,000 taels of silver on him, plus a treasure map.

But she also learned her lesson, and immediately disguised herself as a middle-aged man, and also changed into men's clothes.

As a result, no one would look at her seriously anymore, and even if she suddenly blended into the crowd, no one would notice her presence.

With such an appearance, she deliberately bought coarse linen clothes and replaced her baggage with a basket, in which she put some steamed bread and other things.

It makes people believe that she is an old lady from the country.

They continued on their journey and were about to reach the legendary Haicheng. Su Lanyin saw her wanted poster at a tea stall on the official road.

I don’t know if it was because of stealing or because of Fu Wuyang, but there was nothing written on the wanted poster, just her portrait.

As for the reward, it says that anyone who provides valid information will receive a generous reward.

And apparently, two people had provided it before.

Presumably, both of them were people she had stolen from.

She shrugged, looking nonchalant.

Anyway, she was so easy that even Lu Wanjun couldn't recognize her, let alone others.

Haicheng was not far ahead. She was a little tired, so she thought of having some tea and resting at a tea stall.

Coincidentally, people at the next table were chatting, and Su Lanyin listened while drinking tea.

"Brother, I heard that Haicheng is the richest city. If we do business this time, we will definitely make money, right?"

"Don't worry, this is a place where countries trade, there are many opportunities, as long as you are diligent, you are guaranteed to make money."

"Hey, have you two heard about it? There were mermaids in the sea not far from Haicheng. Many people have seen them."
