Half an hour later, Mo Ziqing and Mo Zichen met in an alley outside the county magistrate's mansion, and it was already daylight.

"Second brother, have you found it?" Mo Ziqing handed the buns he bought to Mo Zichen, and turned his gaze to the house.

Mo Zichen shook his head, frowned and said, "It's not the right time, I can't go in to investigate during the day."

"Hmm... I found some cloth in Liu's house, it's the goods this time." Mo Ziqing sat down where he was, took out a piece of warm jade from his bosom and looked at it in his hand.

Mo Zichen nodded, "It looks like they did it...Didn't I give you this piece of warm jade to the young minister? Why did you bring it with you again?"

"Isn't it okay for my daughter-in-law to hurt me?!" Mo Ziqing put it into his arms again, pressing against his heart, covering it warmly.

"..." Mo Zichen was speechless, he turned his head and ate the bun while looking at the door of the house.

Mo Ziqing sat for a while, a little bored, "I miss my wife, I wonder if he slept well."

Mo Zichen couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him hard, "Shut up! You only left for one night."

"You're envious, jealous and hateful!" Mo Ziqing stood up and patted the dirt, "Even if you kick me, you won't experience my happiness!"

Mo Zichen raised his foot again, and Mo Ziqing ran a certain distance and looked at him with his arms folded.

While the two were arguing, the gate of the house not far away was opened, and two luxuriously dressed men came out with a few servants. Mo Ziqing became serious and looked sideways at the man over there.

There seemed to be some dispute between the two, one of them got into the carriage with his sleeves flung and left, the other had a serious face, said something in a low voice, and re-entered the gate.

"That fat man is the local county magistrate." Mo Zichen raised his chin, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

The two agreed to let the subordinates stay where they were, and they secretly jumped in from the fence behind the house, looking for the fat county magistrate.

This place is much bigger than Liu's house. Mo Ziqing checked in several large courtyards. After a long time, he followed a few maids secretly to find the county magistrate's residence.

It landed lightly on the roof, and in order not to be seen by others, he had to lie down on it with his whole body. Mo Ziqing lifted off the roof tiles and looked inside from a small gap.

The county magistrate was sitting by the table, and there were several boxes of things on the table. Mo Ziqing looked at it carefully for a while, only to find that it was filled with ginseng.

"Crazy Liu, why don't you give him so many hundred-year-old ginseng? It's just a dream to share with me!" The county magistrate closed the box and cursed angrily.

"Don't be angry, my lord. This time, we have contributed the most. He shouldn't want so many things!" A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stood beside him, nodding and bowing in agreement with the county magistrate.

"Huh!" The county magistrate snorted coldly, and said again: "Obviously he has already taken revenge on the Mo family, but he still wants something! Those cloths are already cheap for him, if my sister didn't ask, she wouldn't even give him a hair!"

The person next to him nodded, and the county magistrate said a few more words before saying, "Go and put these things back."

"Yes... my lord... if the Mo family suspects us, do you think that place is safe?"

"Come here! I don't believe that he, a businessman, can come to my county magistrate's house to play wild!"

"Master is wise!"

Mo Ziqing sneered, looked at it for a while, and then put the tile back.

The door of the room was opened, and the man was walking somewhere with the box in his arms just now.Mo Ziqing quietly followed behind him until he left the mansion, and after walking for a stick of incense, the man stopped in an open space.The place is empty, and there are not even a few trees. Looking at it at a glance, it is too ordinary.

The man touched a stone a few times, and a hole appeared in the ground. He jumped into the hole with the box in his arms. Mo Ziqing hesitated for a while, and followed in.

There are rows of steps below the entrance of the cave, leading to a deeper dark place, passing through a long corridor, and Mo Ziqing didn't see the scene in front of him until his eyes lit up.

There is a large open space inside, and there are many shelves beside it. There are many treasures on the shelves, and there are mountain-high things piled up in the open space. Mo Ziqing squinted his eyes slightly, and the county magistrate didn't know how many things he was greedy for.

The man put down the box in his arms, and rummaged around in other places secretly, stole a few pieces of gold and jewels and stuffed them into his sleeves before he was ready to go back.

Mo Ziqing stood still at the entrance of the passage, blocking his way. When the man saw him, he couldn't help being surprised, "Who are you!?"

Mo Ziqing smirked, bowed over and knelt on his stomach, raised his hand and knocked him unconscious, and only walked back after seeing him faint.

He pressed on the stone outside, and the hole slowly closed again.He rushed back along the way he came, and according to the agreement with Mo Zichen, he went back to the alley first, and after waiting for a while, Mo Zichen also came back.
