The female supporting role is crazy about the male lead

Seeing this, Xia Ran put away his smile and told Ting Ye the whole story.

The "Wang's Pawnshop" in the east of the city is run by a black-hearted man named Wang Degui. He underreports the price of the pawned items and then resells them in the market at a higher price, making two profits.

As for Qian, the female shopkeeper of the largest cloth shop in Yuncheng, she has been making small moves frequently recently. She has used despicable means to privately belittle other cloth shops, monopolize the market, and cause the price of this cloth to rise again and again.

A few days ago, Xia Ran went to the houses of these two heads of the family to take back the extra property they had taken.

However, he happened to meet Wang Degui talking to his subordinates, and found out that he and Qian were both following the instructions of County Magistrate Liu.

County Magistrate Liu was the man behind the scenes.

"Bah," Ting Ye couldn't help but spit after hearing this, "This greedy bastard!"

After the two men scolded Magistrate Liu for a while, they finally felt relieved and asked, "So what are you going to do? Magistrate Liu is just a magistrate after all, and I can't think of a good way to deal with him."

"Me?" Xia Ran pointed at himself. "Of course I'll do my old job! I'll go to his house tomorrow night and make him spit out everything he ate!"

He smiled slyly, his eyes were bright and charming, and his round cat eyes were full of calculations.

Ting Ye could only agree, as he couldn't think of any other solution for the time being.

The two were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't notice a dark shadow moving under the door.

The next night.

Xia Ran made good preparations for tonight's operation.

The battle suit she often wore was light and breathable. It was like she was not wearing anything and she hardly felt any sense of restraint.

She made some improvements by wrapping the four openings of the hands and feet with cloth strips several times and tying them tightly, so that she could move more smoothly.

Those hidden weapons were hidden in her chest, cuffs, and hair. There were not only darts, poison arrows, smoke, and white smoke, but she also made a bottle of extremely lethal pepper water. Finally, she took a fire starter before leaving.

Whether you succeed or not is another matter, you must first gather all the tools you need to escape.

Liu Mansion.

Magistrate Liu had just come out of his treasure house.

I heard that Wang Degui and Qian's house was robbed a few days ago. The thief chose the night when they were settling accounts and stole everything silently.

The servants in the house were saying that it was done by the big thief Night Cat. They said that once he catches a target, he will keep biting and not let go until you are cleared of all charges.

This scared the two cowardly guys so much that they even went to him to discuss countermeasures yesterday.

He just thought that the two of them were making a fuss out of nothing, so he comforted them verbally with a few words and sent them back.

At night, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, so I went to his treasure house to see if there was anything missing.

Fortunately, fortunately, they are all here.

County Magistrate Liu breathed a sigh of relief. As for those two unlucky guys, well, they also made so much money from it, so they should thank him!

So I went back to my room and went to sleep.

A crooked tree beside the inner wall of Liu’s mansion.

The tree is lush and leafy, and the scattered branches and leaves are like a huge umbrella that blocks out the incoming light.

If you pull aside the branches and leaves, you can see a slender figure hidden above the tree canopy, holding the trunk with one hand and pulling the leaves with the other, revealing a pair of big round eyes that are moving around. You can tell at a glance what evil plan she is up to.

Xia Ran deliberately found a comfortable position to investigate here.

It must be said that County Magistrate Liu has made a lot of money recently. Ordinary people are very frugal with their lamp oil, but he is so different. The entire Liu Mansion is decorated with lights, with a lamp every three steps. Even the servants who are patrolling carry an oil-paper lantern each.

The light was so bright that it made the tiles on the roof reflect the light so brightly that even a mouse on the roof could be seen clearly, let alone her, a living person.

As a second choice, she luckily found this crooked tree in the corner, which was both hidden and facing the county magistrate's bedroom and the treasury next to it, with an excellent view.

The only drawback was the lack of a telescope. The distance was a bit far and she had difficulty seeing.

After figuring out the patrol pattern of the servants, she set out quietly like a hunting cat.

The cat came behind the man and knocked down two servants who were patrolling in front of the bedroom door cleanly and neatly, then came to the door of the treasure house.

After searching around and finding no one, she pulled out a piece of wire from her hair, unlocked the door in a few strokes, and successfully sneaked into the treasure house.

As soon as I stepped in, I was dazzled by the golden light in front of me.

Gold and silver, boxes of jade pendants and bracelets, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, shining night pearls...

There were too many things for her to take them all by herself. If she had known earlier, she would have called a few more people and put the knife to Magistrate Liu's neck and robbed him.

Xia Ran regretted it, she really wanted to do it after seeing it.

She was still wondering which items to take first when she heard some noise outside the door.

This is not a good sign. We need to speed up.

He quickened his pace and picked out a golden bowl with lotus petal pattern, a painting of Mount Li by Zhou Bai, a jade and agate cup, a glass lotus saucer, and a pleasing-looking luminous pearl, then put them on his shoulders and prepared to run away.

The side close to the courtyard wall had to pass through Lord Liu's bedroom. Xia Ran took a deep breath, stood there, stretched his arms and legs, turned his waist and exercised his wrists.

It's time to start running.

Feeling that her body was ready, she pulled up the mask on her face, held her breath, bent down, walked lightly, and reached forward.

Just as I took a step forward, I suddenly felt something flash in my left eye.

She paused slightly, telling herself not to look, not to look, she had to retreat, she had to retreat, it would be too late if she didn't retreat now.

He walked forward a few steps with his head down, then suddenly stopped, slapped himself, muttered something, and turned around quickly.

She poked a hole in the door with her finger, took out a smoke gun and blew it inside. After making sure there was no more movement in the room, she put away the pipe and looked inside. A high-footed bowl on the antique display case in the middle of the bedroom caught Xia Ran's attention.

As if afraid that people would not notice it, he specially lit a candle next to it. The candlelight made both the beauty and the treasure more prominent.

The high-footed bowl is made entirely of pure gold, with smooth and soft lines, a lipped mouth, a narrow belly, and an exquisite and elegant appearance. It is connected to a trumpet-shaped high foot at the bottom. The whole bowl is already of top quality.

Not to mention the circle of gems inlaid in the bowl, which are pure, round and full, and shine even brighter under the candlelight.

Isn’t this a gold-studded high-footed bowl inlaid with gems that is worth more than ten thousand taels of gold?

Xia Ran almost exclaimed, Take it, you must take it.

He quietly opened the door, took out the package, carefully placed the high-footed bowl inside, put the package on his back, opened the door, and lifted his foot.

"Ding-Dong." The foot she had just raised stood still in mid-air.

Forget that we are all made of gold and that collision will make a sound.

Now that’s great, it would be strange if others didn’t hear this noise.

"Who are you! Come here, catch the thief!" The servant who was patrolling on his left shouted as soon as he saw her.

She cursed softly and had no choice but to run. In just a moment, all the servants in the yard had gathered here.

Now that I've been discovered, I can only run away openly.

With a few leaps, he nimbly climbed onto the roof, squinted his eyes, quickly selected the best route, and was about to lift his foot.

"Plop." There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, accompanied by a cry of surprise. The voice was clear and familiar.

Familiar? Xia Ran retracted his foot and looked towards where the sound came from. Some of the servants had already surrounded that place.

The person sitting on the ground was also wearing a black nightgown, wrapped tightly so that his face could not be seen clearly.

But that figure, that voice, isn’t that the unlucky male protagonist!
