Looking for something? How did they find the guest room?
Just as she was thinking this, the person outside seemed to have left without finding anything.
The two of them didn't think much of it until a servant came to deliver breakfast and a rather unfamiliar middle-aged man came with him.
This person didn't seem to be Teacher Xun Yang's student, nor did he seem like an ordinary servant. Based on his temperament and attire, he seemed to be a martial artist.
The man was extremely courteous as he explained, "Sorry to disturb you two. I am the captain of Fengyuan City's guards, Bai Lu. This morning, Young Master Xun Yang of the estate sent someone to report that he accidentally lost a bag of money last night. There's something extremely important inside and I hope that we can find it as soon as possible. We've already investigated and found that no outsiders came or went last night. Only the two of you went out, so I wanted to ask, did the two of you see Young Master Xun's bag of money? "
Truly despicable.
Last night, it was clearly Xun Ziyang who had voluntarily given them the bag of money, but now, he was making a false accusation.
Lin Mengya suppressed the disgust in her heart and shook her head to indicate that she hadn't seen it either.
Bai Lu clearly had his suspicions, but he didn't directly say it. Instead, he looked around the room and finally saw the bag of pastries she had placed on the table as a midnight snack.
"Last night, did the two of you go to Yunxi Restaurant?"
Lin Mengya nodded. She knew that was where they ate.
Bai Lu thoughtfully glanced at the two of them but said nothing, only taking his leave.
After they left, the haze between Lin Mengya's eyebrows dissipated.
In truth, she hadn't planned on spending Xun Ziyang's money last night and had guessed that he would use this matter as a trick.
She hadn't expected that this person would be so impatient.
Was he too impatient or was he looking down on them?
In the main hall of Teacher Xun Yang's residence, Bai Lu walked over to greet the owner.
"Brother Bai Lu, what's the situation?"
Seeing him enter, Xun Ziyang immediately asked anxiously.
He shook his head. The latter's face was clearly filled with disappointment.
"Forget it, it's all my fault for being careless. But inside that bag of money, there was a seal that Teacher gave me. Although it's not expensive, Teacher personally chose it and personally engraved it. It has extraordinary meaning and I always carry it by my side. Now, teacher is bedridden and the seal has been lost. I, I really don't feel good in my heart. "
Bai Lu also didn't know how to comfort him. He only patted his shoulder and had some guesses in his heart.
"Is there anything special about the things in your purse?"
As a guard of Fengyuan City, he naturally wanted to ensure the safety of the city.
Moreover, he was indebted to Teacher, and Xun Ziyang was Teacher's beloved disciple. If he could help, he would naturally do his best to help.
Xun Ziyang thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said, "In my money pouch, besides some loose silver, there's also a fifty tael ingot. That ingot is something I just took out for the daily expenses of the old master's residence. "
Actually, although fifty taels of silver was not a small amount of money, it was not enough to be used as evidence.
However, there would never be such a coincidence in the world. Moreover, under normal circumstances, everyone would first go to the bank to exchange it for change before taking it out to spend.
He thought of the bag of pastries he saw and knew that the things there were not things that an ordinary person could afford.
If that person had spent fifty taels of silver to eat and drink, then it could be used as evidence.
"Alright, then I'll go check it out. Oh right, how has Teacher been these few days? "
Xun Ziyang's face suddenly showed signs of sorrow.
He sighed and shook his head, saying, "Now, all our hopes are placed on the divine doctor. I only hope that Teacher will be blessed and not leave us so early. "
Bai Lu's mood was also not very good.
He comforted Xun Ziyang for a while and then left with his people.
"Young master, actually, why bother Bai Lu and the others? Anyway, the money pouch is in their hands. As long as we search it, won't we be able to catch them red-handed? "
Xun Ziyang's page boy walked over and asked in a low voice.
And the previously sorrowful Xun Ziyang now had a scheming look in his eyes.
"Only by borrowing the hands of an outsider can it be justified. Moreover, Bai Lu is the most upright and plainspoken person in Fengyuan City. If he can convict those two, then he can shut the Bai family's mouth. "
Xun Ziyang felt that victory was in his grasp. After all, they were just two insignificant people who had not seen the world. How could they withstand a blow from him?
They really thought that he would be so kind as to give them the money to eat and drink.
This time, even the Bai family would not protect them.
But what surprised Xun Ziyang was that after waiting for an entire day, there was no news of Bai Lu coming to arrest them.
He felt that something must have gone wrong, but when he gave them the money pouch, there was no one around to see.
Furthermore, it was absolutely impossible for them to detect that he would make any subsequent moves.
Could it be that this Bai Lu was actually so useless?
It was only when the sky turned dark that Bai Lu appeared in front of him.
"Brother Bai Lu, how did it go?"
Bai Lu revealed a simple and honest smile. Then, he carefully took out something from his bosom.
"Ziyang, quickly come and see, I've found it for you!"
Xun Ziyang was stunned. When he took a closer look, it was really the money pouch that he had lost.
Impossible, how could the money pouch be in Bai Lu's hands?
While he was still in a daze, he saw the other party taking out the things one by one.
"The silver and the seal are all here. You ah, you cannot be so careless in the future. If it wasn't for the servant's reminder, I would not have thought of this place. I've already washed it for you. Take a look, is there anything missing? "
Bai Lu knew that scholars like them loved to be clean, so after he fished it out, he washed it several times with clean water.
After confirming that it was clean, he brought it over.
Xun Ziyang stared blankly at the thing in Bai Lu's hands, as if he did not recognize it.
"Ziyang, is there a problem?"
Xun Ziyang immediately recovered and shook his head.
How could it be … even though he had many questions in his heart, he could only accept it at this moment.
Immediately, he revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Thank you so much. I never thought that I would be able to recover what I lost. Brother Bai Lu, where did you find it? "
At the mention of this, Bai Lu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I originally went to Yunxi Tower to check, but I did not find anything. When I was about to tell you, I saw a servant drop something into the gutter. I thought, 'The ditch is right outside. Perhaps you were careless and dropped something there too.' My brothers and I fished for a long time and finally found your thing. You have to keep it properly in the future and don't lose it again. "
Bai Lu patted Xun Ziyang's shoulder and the latter immediately felt a little nauseous.
He resisted the urge to hide. After all, this boorish man had climbed out of the gutter.
"Oh, you're right. Yun Peng, keep everything properly."
His personal attendant immediately came forward and tidied up the things.
Xun Ziyang concealed the disgust in his heart. This time, he had the chance to put that crude seal on the shelf.
Seeing that the thing was back, but the person was fine, Xun Ziyang was a little unhappy.
But he was more worried about why the other party would throw the thing into the gutter.
Could it be that they had long predicted that he would use this move?
His contempt for those two people was mixed with a hint of uneasiness.
He could not help but ask, "I really have to thank you for being able to get the thing back. Oh right, you said that you went to Yunxi Tower to investigate, what happened? "
Bai Lu still felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned it.
"Didn't the servants in the residence say that from last night until now, only the two guests in the guest room had come in and out? I went to ask them and in the end, I saw the desserts of Yunxi Tower on the table. I thought about what kind of place Yunxi Tower was and if they had stolen money, they might have the money to go to Yunxi Tower. But I did not expect that I would be the one to look down on them. "
Xun Ziyang knew that the two of them had gone to Yunxi Tower.
If he did not know that the two of them had actually gone there, he would not have thought of such a good plan.
But he did not expect that these two destitute and destitute fellows actually had some foundation.
"So that's the case. It's my fault for not arranging it well. Last night, I held a banquet to thank Old Yang, but I did not expect that the two of them liked peace and quiet. They actually went to Yunxi Tower. "
Since there was no way to pin a crime on them, he might as well pour some dirty water on them first.
Bai Lu was not so meticulous and had wasted Xun Ziyang's careful plan.
Just as he was about to say something else to ruin their impression, the two of them walked in one after another.
"Brother, why are you here? Oh yes, I have not thanked you yet! Ziyang, this is the person who helped you to find the thing! "
The moment Bai Lu saw Long Tianhao, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
It was said that heroes cherished heroes, especially now that Long Tianhao had deliberately stained his beard, which was similar to Bai Lu's, which leaned towards the rough and boorish style.
Long Tianhao only nodded at Bai Lu and stood beside him coldly.
Bai Lu did not feel very awkward, he just thought that Long Tianhao was the type who was not good with words.
When he saw them, Xun Ziyang looked a little unnatural.
But it was only for a short moment. After all, he was sure that the other party would not dare to talk about this matter.
No one had seen it last night. If they dared to talk about it, he could take the opportunity to bite back at them.
But what he did not expect was that not only was the person not angry, but he also sat down with a smile.
"Is that so? My Ah Long has always been willing to help others. It's our honor to be able to help the both of you. "
Every time she called him Ah Long, Long Tianhao felt that she was laughing at him.
This lass would always take the opportunity when he could not resist to be mischievous.
But he did not hate it at all.
