What Li Jiancheng said in his heart, the former Li Yaoshi and the current Li Jing can't hear it anymore.

Guan Lengyan, who had been on tenterhooks all night, rushed over with someone at noon.

After seeing Cao Qiang, Guan Lengyan was relieved.

"You also followed your master through countless battles, how come you don't know how to get things when you are ready?"

Cao Li didn't care about it at the beginning, although he regrets it a little now, but he couldn't show it in front of Guan Lengyan.

"You also know that the master is the master, and I am me. Even though it looks like a master, it is different after all. This matter... I am not careful."

And there is one thing Cao Li didn't say, whether it's him or Guan Lengyan, both of them are trapped in the rolling world of mortals, and they can't escape the soft mortal world.

"Whether it's you or me in the future, don't mention the master. Bringing it up can only discredit them. You and I will never become heroes after all."

Cao Li recalled that his master was heroic, domineering, cunning and sincere, always scheming but ignoring past suspicions... This is something he couldn't learn in his whole life.

Thinking of this, I sighed, "Where I fell, I will climb out. I will still go to Yang Su's house for a while to find out the truth. Now I only know that the gold-plated boring in Yuwen Chengdu's hand is a little different from mine. It’s just that Yuwen Chengdu is not in Luoyang now, and the distant water can’t save the near thirsty.”

Guan Lengyan nodded, "Although you and I are not grasshoppers on the same rope, but we have known each other for so long, I still trust you, and I will lend you all my hands."

Over the past few hundred years, Cao Li has raised men and horses who can go to the battlefield, while Guan Lengyan has raised all the spies to spy on the military situation.

Cao Qiang thanked Guan Lengyan a lot, the two of them sighed to each other, and ate snacks together, Cao Qiang and Li Xiuxiu's Guanyin maid sent Guan Lengyan to the carriage together, and watched as the carriage was led to the street.

At night, when Cao Qiang was watching people set up dinner in the hall, Li Yuanba ran over, leaned against Cao Qiang and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, did you sneak out yesterday?"

Cao Qian was startled, "Nonsense, I obviously couldn't wake up yesterday...I slept very hard yesterday."

"But I clearly heard movement in our house."

"Could it be that he's been thieves?" Cao Li wondered in his heart, wondering if this little fat man had some kind of fortuitous experience of improving his skills.

"No, no," Li Yuanba shook his head, "It didn't come in from the outside, it went out from the house." Then he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I wanted to hear when this little thief would come back, but later I fell asleep After I caught it, I didn’t hear it again.”

"You may be dreaming. There are so many people guarding our house. It is impossible for such a thing to happen."

Li Yuanba didn't believe it, "Brother said that in Luoyang City, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are not a few people watching our house. Since there are people watching our house, and some people are capable, if these two groups of people get to know each other, wouldn't they be able to?" Entered our house casually? No, I want to tell my elder brother about it."

Cao Qian quickly grabbed Li Yuanba, but was afraid that if he stopped him, his whereabouts would be revealed.

A smile appeared on his face, "Yuanba, this is a big deal, you can't shout it out, everyone knows it, you tell your elder brother quietly, don't let other people know."

Li Yuanba tilted his head and scratched his head, then nodded, and looked at Cao Li trustingly, "Just listen to sister-in-law."

Cao Qian thought to himself that if you really listen to me, then don't tell your elder brother. Although he thought so, Li Jiancheng still noticed Li Yuanba's lack of taste when he ate.Li Jiancheng only thought that Li Yuanba was fed up, he didn't want to eat at this time, and the reason why he didn't think about getting sick was because this kid was still alive and well, and he didn't appear to be in a state of lethargy.

After eating, Li Yuanba didn't mess around with Li Yuanji, but followed Li Jiancheng like a little tail, and he followed Li Jiancheng wherever he went.

Li Jiancheng had no choice but to pick up the little fat man and carried him to his and Cao Qiang's yard.Back in the yard, after Li Jiancheng put the little fat man down, he found that his arms were shaking all the time.

"Yuanba, elder brother told you that this is the last time I will hug you. Did you grow up on a weight? Why are you so heavy?"

Li Yuanba twisted his chubby body in embarrassment, "I didn't eat the weight, but I obviously ate noodles."

Cao Li couldn't help laughing when he heard the two of them talking.Li Jiancheng saw Cao Yang laughing and leaning forward, thinking that it was Cao Yang's credit for feeding the little fat man like this, so he had to accept the result and had nothing to say.

"Come on, what are you doing with Big Brother? You're sneaking around behind... Did you beat your wife again?"

When asked here, Li Jiancheng immediately stood up, turned to look at Cao Qiang, "Yuanba didn't get angry with Master today, did he?"

Cao Qian shook his head, but Li Jiancheng still felt that Yaoshi Li was a nice person, "I think Yuanba was well-behaved and obedient when Brother Yao taught them two years ago..."

Anyway, in my heart, I still want to let Yaoshi Li come back to help me.

Li Yuanba looked at his elder brother, "I didn't beat my wife, my sister-in-law said, a good boy doesn't beat my wife, and I didn't scare him. I came to tell my elder brother today that a thief slipped out of our house yesterday."

Having said that, Li Jiancheng immediately paid attention to it, and went outside with his younger brother.Cao Qiang stood up quickly, wanting to follow outside to listen, but Cao Qiang followed to the door of the study outside and was shut by Li Jiancheng.

After a while, Li Jiancheng came out, asked the maid to send Li Yuanba out, and took Cao Li back to the bedroom with a solemn expression.

After sitting down, Li Jiancheng looked at Cao Qiang, "Yuanba is capable, he can't get it wrong, someone from our family did go out yesterday, sneaking around in the middle of the night, definitely can't do anything good."

Cao Li didn't speak.

Li Jiancheng thought that Cao Qian was scared, "You have brought more people with you when you go in and out recently, and you also ordered it. From now on, no matter whether it is Jiancheng or Yuanji, when walking in the mansion, a group of people will follow them. The Guanyin servant Bian'er must be taken care of carefully, and Xiuxiu can't be left behind."

Then he walked back and forth in the bedroom a little anxiously, trying to find a way to catch this little thief.

Cao Yang was thinking about how to push out a shield to divert Li Jiancheng's attention.

At this moment, someone rushed in from outside and reported a mourning letter to Cao Qiang and Li Jiancheng.

An aunt of Li Jiancheng, a sister of Li Yuan, has just passed away.

After hearing this, Cao Li stood up quickly and asked people to find out the mourning clothes at home.He was still talking about this with Li Jiancheng, "I didn't expect that my aunt didn't make it through. I will take them to cry tomorrow. What should you do? Should I go to the palace to ask for leave first?"

"Of course, go to the palace first. If you go tomorrow, tell your cousins ​​that I'll be there later."

Cao Qiang left Li Jiancheng to think about things in the room, and hurried to the courtyard of Guanyin's maidservant with his maid. On the way, Cao Qiang was still thinking about how to divert Li Jiancheng's attention.

Guanyin's maidservant also received the news, and was sitting in the room waiting for Cao Li to come over. After the two met, they sat down and talked about tomorrow's trip.

Guanyin's servant girl said that this is a big deal and she must write a letter to Li Yuan.Speaking of which, this aunt did not go there in person when Mrs. Dou died.

They were talking gossip, Cao Li sat with Guanyin's maidservant for a while and was about to say goodbye, Guanyin's maid sent Cao Qian out, and the two of them were saying goodbye at the door when they heard a commotion in the warehouse.

Cao Qian asked the servant girl to help the Guanyin maidservant back to the room, and then led the servant girls to the warehouse. When he met a messenger on the way, he knew that someone was stealing from the warehouse.

The person who came to report made a very exaggerated gesture, "Madam, you don't know, that person used a trick to pull onions from the dry land and flew into the sky."

When Cao Li arrived, Li Jiancheng was also there.Although the warehouse was not in a mess, the place where the calligraphy and paintings were kept was turned into a bit of a mess.At this time, Cao Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief. The thief appeared at the right time, so that Li Jiancheng could no longer doubt himself.

The servants unfolded all the calligraphy and paintings, as well as many cloth and silk scrolls.Cao Li's dowry maid took the dowry list and came over to check them one by one, and finally found that a scroll of paintings was missing.

This scroll painting is a bit special, it is a Buddha statue that hung in the palace and kowtowed every day when Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was alive.And this Buddha statue is not painted on paper, but woven on silk.

This piece of silk is thick and stiff, and it is woven with silk, with Buddha statues on both sides.On the one hand, he treats people with compassion, and on the other hand, he stares angrily.

It is hung up to three feet high and two feet wide. When the wind blows, the picture scroll will sway gently with the wind, and the Buddha statue that stands next to it will float like a celestial being.

After learning that such a dowry picture scroll was lost, Cao Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Jiancheng felt that he couldn't let it out.

"I lost such a pair today. The thief must have seen other good things. How do you say that? If you are not afraid of stealing, you are afraid that the thief will miss it. With such a good thing, how can they not miss it?"

After speaking, the husband and wife watched as they put the things back into the camphor wood box, and then watched as people locked the warehouse again, and dispatched manpower to surround the warehouse.

Although he was angry on the surface, Cao Li thought in his heart that he was thinking about other people's treasure house, but he didn't expect that others were also thinking about his own things.

I don't know if it's the way of heaven that reincarnates or the retribution is unhappy, Cao Li wants to laugh at the sky at this time, but considering that Li Jiancheng is next to him, he can only secretly laugh a few times in his heart.Reflecting on it later, my mentality was a bit wrong.

Li Jiancheng returned to the bedroom angrily, "It seems that those thieves have been thinking about your dowry for a day or two. Good things can no longer be stored in the warehouse. I heard that Yue Gong Yang Su built a treasure house. Why don't we follow others' example? , start working soon.”

Cao Li quickly waved his hands after hearing this, "Don't be like this, if it gets out, people will laugh at us, how can we compare these things with Yuegong. If we also built a treasure house, and it spreads out to make people laugh, others will laugh at us too. Find out what good things we have. So I think it’s better to put it there quietly, and sending more people can always prevent thieves.”

Li Jiancheng shook his head, "We don't need to be as fanciful as Yang Su, we just need to repair it quietly. I know who Yang Suxiu is looking for in the treasure house. Let's just go to the door and ask someone to come up with a blueprint. That's it."

When Cao Qian heard this, he didn't object at this time, and quickly sat next to Li Jiancheng, "Is what you said true? Who repaired the treasure house for that old thief Yang Su? I think if the old thief Yang Su's temper Disposition, this person should not live to the day when the treasure house is completed."

"You're thinking wrong, he repaired the treasury for his family just to take advantage of his position. The people who designed the Luoyang palace ban at the beginning were serious court officials. The handwriting of these people is naturally different from those of the folks. , how dare the old thief attack these people?"
