Chapter 211 Stir-Fried Chestnuts in Sugar, Fragrant and Hot Stir-Fried Chestnuts in Sugar
"Stir-fried chestnuts!"

"The sugar-fried chestnuts that have just come on the market, the fragrant and hot sugar-fried chestnuts, are only ten cents a pound."

In the moonlight-shrouded West Garden, there was the sound of hawking.

It was an old woman with wrinkled face, wearing a blue dress covered with patches, it seemed that a big stone was pressing on her back, and her waist had been crushed in the middle.

A lonely and poor old woman, in her twilight years, still uses her almost completely hoarse voice to sell her fried chestnuts in sugar.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt uncomfortable, because he was a very sympathetic person.

"Grandma, come here, I'll buy two catties."

The old woman immediately packed the chestnuts for him.

Contrary to Lu Xiaofeng's expectations, he originally thought that these chestnuts should be old goods, but he didn't expect that they were all brand new, big and plump, fragrant and hot.

"You said ten cents a catty?"

The old lady nodded, still bent over, because her waist could not straighten up at all.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This is absolutely not possible!"

The old woman said, "Is ten Wen more expensive?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Such delicious sugar-fried chestnuts cost at least ten taels of silver a catty, I won't buy anything less, it must be ten taels of silver!"

The old woman laughed.

She occasionally meets kind-hearted people, but there are not many such kind-hearted people.

"A kind-hearted person like you will definitely have good luck, and you will definitely have good luck in the near future."

Lu Xiaofeng was a little moved when he heard the words, for this old woman, this was probably the best compliment she could think of, and she gave it to him without hesitation.

"Grandma, how lucky am I?"

"Because someone will invite you to dinner, it must be a feast of a hundred dishes, you can't finish it..."

"That's really... who the hell are you!"

Lu Xiaofeng realized in an instant that the one hundred feast was a bet with Li Jinyu, how could an ordinary old woman know?

The old woman laughed again, and said in a clear and melodious voice like a silver bell: "You really are not too stupid!"

Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to ask another question, a group of policemen rushed over not far away, and the leader was Jin Jiuling's confidant, shouting loudly: "Don't eat chestnuts!"

Lu Xiaofeng twirled his fingers lightly and put the chestnuts in his sleeves, which he learned from Li Jinyu, except that Li Jinyu hid the knife and he hid the chestnuts.

The old woman sneered, and two short swords popped out of the basket containing the fried chestnuts. The swords were tied with bright red satin, like two long whips.

With a flash of sword light, the sword's edge has arrived!

So quick!
What a fast sword!

While forcing Lu Xiaofeng back, he also forced back the surrounding arresters, and no matter where Lu Xiaofeng retreated, Jian Feng could always follow him.

Lu Xiaofeng's clothes had been cut, and he was forced to stick to the tree trunk. With a chirping sound, the blade of his sword pierced the wind, and the two short swords cut like dragons, piercing like lightning.

At this dangerous and dangerous moment, Lu Xiaofeng poked out his second finger like lightning.

A sharp finger!
Minds think alike!
Gently clamping two fingers, the sword's edge could no longer advance half a point, and all the sword energy was dissipated.

Without waiting for the old lady to make a move, Lu Xiaofeng twisted her wrist vigorously, twisting a ribbon into pieces.

The old woman turned around and flew away, Lu Xiaofeng was about to give chase, when the policemen surrounded him, carefully putting away the chestnuts, with a look of horror on their faces.

"Grandma Xiong's sugar-fried chestnuts, one chestnut can poison thirty people, this is really..."

"Waste!"

"Ah? Hero Lu, what did you say?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I said waste, one chestnut can only be eaten by one person, since that's the case, just put the poison that can kill one person, why put more?"

The police officers thought that one chestnut could actually be eaten by two people, and Lu Xiaofeng really had no experience in life.

Lu Xiaofeng said in his heart that when Lao Tzu and Xue Bing eat candied fried chestnuts, they always eat one, but there will never be a situation where 30 people eat one!

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and asked, "You are Jin Jiuling's subordinate, are you called..."

"Next to Lu Shaohua."

"Lu Shaohua, do you know her?"

"She is Grandma Xiong, who is best at killing people with poisonous chestnuts. Many of our brothers died in her hands."

"Oh I got it!"

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, everyone left, suddenly a black figure appeared in the corner, and said with a smile, "Everyone says Lu Xiaofeng is very smart, but he is actually a little pig."

"I'm Lu Xiaofeng, not Lu Xiaozhu!"

Lu Xiaofeng quietly appeared from the other side, and looked at Grandma Xiong with a smile: "For the sake of being so smart, can I get rid of the disguise on your face?"

Grandma Xiong sneered and said, "That depends on whether you have the ability, so follow along!"

It must be known that Luoyang City is under martial law at this time, and such things as flying and racing are more dangerous, but the two of them are so proficient in lightness kung fu that they were able to hide from the Jinwu Guards and conduct the racing.

When Lu Xiaofeng and Grandma Xiong were racing, Li Jinyu had already put on Chen Jiaju's vest, and went to test each other with Jin Jiulingxu and the snake.

Jin Jiuling wanted to blame Li Jinyu, and Li Jinyu wanted to use him to find Shar Khan.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, considering Shar Khan's character, coupled with the satin handkerchief at the scene, even if there was no collusion before, there must be now.

Shar Khan is a cautious and ruthless person. In order to achieve his goals, he will not hesitate to sacrifice anyone, even his own brothers, in his eyes, they are just pawns and can be discarded at any time.

In the original plot, Shar Khan successfully killed Jieli Khan and Di Renjie by relying on triplet tricks and superb gold and silver skills.

However, this guy has the biggest flaw, that is, he is only good at intrigue, but not in strength.

In other words, when his so-called allies want to turn the tables, Shar Khan has nothing to do!

The arrival of the wind rider in the desert means that the master of the wind rider has also come. The Turks have been destroyed at this time, but it is unknown which tribe's khan or prince came.

As for Wu Youde...huh!

Li Jinyu had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and his face was heavy, as if he was thinking about the problem seriously.

Jin Jiuling looked at it and nodded slightly, he went to the six gates to check, "Chen Jiaju" was indeed here to report on his duties, no matter how he checked, there was absolutely no problem with his identity.

"Chen Butou, logically speaking, we should treat you well when you come to Luoyang to report on your work. I didn't expect that there are frequent major cases in Luoyang, but it requires you to work harder."

"I'm a person who can't be idle. If I stay idle all the time, my bones will be softened by wine."

"Chen Butou, I found some clues, but I'm not sure yet. I want you to check it out."

"Oh? This matter is incumbent!"

"Okay! Chief Chen Gaoyi!"

Jin Jiuling smiled and gave a clue.

Having been a headhunter for 30 years, Jin Jiuling is certainly not an idler. If he wants to use someone to replace a dead ghost, he needs to pay some price. Although he is greedy for money, he is not a person who wants money. Naturally, he understands this truth.

Following Jin Jiuling's instructions, Li Jinyu led the police to raid a place, and sure enough, they found more than 20 paintings and calligraphy works in a small hidden shop.

Afterwards, according to the clues given by Jin Jiuling, they found a place where Mojin Xiaowei gathered, and found the pearls of the Nanping County Prince's Mansion there, but there were only thirty of them.

Back and forth, Li Jinyu shot again and again, and already found [-] to [-]% of what Jin Jiuling robbed.

One part was revealed by Jin Jiuling on his own initiative, and the other part was deliberately found out by Li Jinyu in order to force him, in order to put more pressure on him.

While Li Jinyu was in full swing to investigate the case, another team of policemen was also patrolling around Luoyang City.

What they were looking for was not suspicious people, but the silversmiths, blacksmiths, workshops, and even merchants selling charcoal and stoves in Luoyang City.

The leader is - Tie Feihua!

Liu'er wiped the sweat off her face, and handed the completed list to Tie Feihua.

"In the past two days, a total of 34 silversmiths in Luoyang have been invited to work, and 20 of them are missing. It is suspected that Shar Khan invited them away."

Tie Feihua laughed and said, "It's true!"

Liu'er said: "What is so?"

Tie Feihua explained: "Liu'er, think about it carefully, how much space do you need for 100 million taels of silver and 10 taels of gold? How should they be transported?"

Liu Er said: "If it is escorted by escort vehicles, at least thirty or forty escort vehicles are needed. According to the current guards in Luoyang City, it is impossible to take them out."

Tie Feihua said: "But if you keep these things in your hands, sooner or later they will be searched by the Jinwu Guard!"

Liu'er said: "So they must be transported away!"

Tie Feihua said: "I once heard Jinyu tell a story that two parties brought money to buy the same item, and the one with the higher price gets the cash."

Liu Er said: "And then?"

Tie Feihua said: "Both sides brought twenty boxes, the boxes contained the same amount of silver, but one of them, the bodyguard who escorted the silver, each carried a thousand taels of silver on his body."

Liu Er said: "So he won?"

Tie Feihua said: "He lost."

Liu Er wondered: "Why?"

Tie Feihua said: "Because of another person, the box is made of silver, and the interlayer of the carriage is also made of silver. It means that you have twice as much gold and silver."

Liu'er said: "I understand. Shar Khan is a master craftsman of gold and silver. He is proficient in various casting methods. He can easily melt gold and silver and cast them into utensils."

Tie Feihua said: "That's right, Luoyang City can't be closed all the time, and it doesn't mean that it can't be closed. If you can open the door at this time, most of them are inconvenient to detect. It's an excellent time to take Yinliang and leave."

Liu Er said: "This is the so-called, the most dangerous place often becomes the safest."

Tie Feihua said: "It's like, no one wants to get it, someone dares to rob the Shanjin Bureau in Luoyang!"

Liu'er said: "The silver carriage is the most likely to be cast, but you can't preconceive it."

Tie Feihua said: "That's right! So what we are looking for now is not a carriage, but a silversmith. No matter how advanced Shar Khan's skills are, he still needs help. Otherwise, even if he is exhausted, he won't be able to handle so much gold and silver."

Liu'er said, "Is this the only thing you want to check?"

Tie Feihua said: "Of course not. It takes a lot of heat to melt so much gold and silver. Although it is a bit vain, it may not be a clue."

Liu'er said: "Do you need to check the waterway?"

Tie Feihua said: "Of course, but it's not the boatman, but the water ghost who is good at turning rivers and seas!"

"Water ghost" is a special profession.

In places where water transportation is well developed, some barges capsize occasionally, and people need to salvage the goods. These people are proficient in water and are called "water ghosts".

If gold and silver are cast into special structures, and then hire a group of water ghosts to leave along the waterway, it seems whimsical, but it is not impossible.

Tie Feihua said: "Three teachings and nine streams, the Beggars' Gang is the most familiar, help me make an appointment with the local leader of the Beggars' Gang!"
