Skilled in managing a house

Seeing Tao Xinshui leaving quickly, Zhang Yu said, "We are just waiting here. How about we go out together and take a look?"

"No problem, we can go to Tao Qi's house together." Tao Xindi said immediately.

"That's not necessary, just take a stroll and wait behind the peach forest... We are walking slowly. I guess they will be back soon by the time we arrive..." Zhang Yu said.

"Okay." Tao Xin nodded, then looked at Master Zhang and said, "What do you guys mean by Brother Zhang?"

"Just follow what Fellow Daoist Zhang said, let's go slowly." Master Zhang said.

After he said this, Tao Xindi naturally didn't say anything. He made a gesture of invitation and led everyone out of the room, out of the courtyard, and then walked towards the main door of the courtyard.

They didn't walk fast, and they didn't see many people along the way.

At this time, Zhang Yu said again: "Brother Tao, why are there so few people in the Tao family's courtyard? When I came, I saw no one except someone at the door. In such a big courtyard, It’s not like we just need a few people..."

"The left side of the front yard is the residence of the disciples, and the right side is the residence of the guests. After breakfast until before dinner, the disciples practice on the mountain and will not come back until after dinner. Therefore, during the day, That will make the front yard seem more deserted." Tao Xindi said.

"So that's it." Zhang Yu was relieved. No wonder there were not many people in the huge Tao family during the day.

They walked all the way to the peach grove at the main entrance, and instead of continuing into the peach grove, they just waited here.

After about twenty minutes, I saw someone walking out of the peach forest.

The first to walk out were Tao Xinshui and Tao Youke, followed by some people wearing white Chinese tunic suits. In front of these people, there were four others wearing ordinary clothes, two of them two women. One of them, a man and a woman, was older, probably over fifty, and a young man and woman looked less than thirty. In addition to these four people, someone else drove a carriage out.

This carriage is not a large carriage, but a box carriage. The box is designed very reasonably. It is slightly taller and narrower, so it can travel through the peach forest.

Tao Xinshui and Tao Youke came out of Taolin and saw Zhang Yu, Tao Xindi, Zhang Zhenren and others waiting here. Tao Xinshui immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, that Tao Xi is not at home..."

"What!" Upon hearing this, Tao Xindi's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Where did the person go?"

"I heard from Tao Qi and Tao Qing that after Tao Xi returned home yesterday afternoon, he scolded his younger siblings because the lunch was a bit salty. Tao Qi spoke for his daughter-in-law and quarreled with Tao Xi. Tao Xi was furious. Then I left home," Tao Xinshui said.

"What a coincidence!" Tao Xindi shouted angrily again.

"This... is indeed a bit of a coincidence..." Tao Xinshui said a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said: "He must have run away, but I think we might as well check this food delivery truck now. See if there is a mezzanine under the car that can hide a person."

"Inspect this car immediately!" Tao Xindi shouted.

Tao Xinshui did not dare to neglect, and immediately called Tao Youke to check together.

One of the two jumped into the box, and the other was outside. They soon discovered that the height of the inside of the box was inconsistent with the height of the outside. Then they discovered that there was indeed a mezzanine.

The area of ​​this mezzanine is not large, only one and a half meters long and half a meter wide.

The box was unloaded and delivered to Tao Xindi and others. Everyone looked at the mezzanine and everything became clear.

Instead, Zhang Yinling said: "This mezzanine is only so big in total, and a normal person can't get in. Just now, Master Zhang, Zhang, and Zhang said... that they can hide a skinny person... Could it be said that the person hiding inside is really a human being?" Jizi...how did you guess this..."

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said: "This is not too simple. The secret passage in the room is said to be only 1.6 meters long, which means that the person hidden underneath must not be tall. Also, the hole is not big. It’s also not deep. If you are a tall person, it will definitely be inconvenient to get in and out. Short people can get in and out easily in this situation. Once you seize the gap, you can directly drop the Tianyin Qin."

"That's true... But now, Ji Zi must have escaped... The man named Tao Xi has probably escaped too... What should we do next..." Zhang Yinling said.

"I don't know about this. I'm afraid it will be easier for the Tao family to track down Tao Xi's matter..." Zhang Yu said, deliberately stretching.

After listening to his words, Zhang Zhenren, Ling Hongzi and others looked at Tao Xindi together.

Tao Xindi also understood that no one knew who stole the Tianyin Qin. The only one who knew was the person responsible for transporting the thief out. This person is Tao Xi, and Tao Xi's surname is Tao, so he is from the Tao family.

However, whether Tao Xi was bribed or whatever, it has something to do with the Tao family.

Tao Xindi gritted his teeth again, and then said: "First take Tao Qi's family into the dungeon and interrogate them strictly!"

"Yes!"...The man in the white Chinese tunic suit immediately agreed that Tao Qi's family of four would be taken away.

Tao Qi could no longer tell that something was wrong. It was obvious that there was a reason for his son's sudden return and sudden departure. There was a hidden compartment in the vehicle transporting vegetables, which could be used to store people, and the Tao family lost something, thinking that their family was a group of thieves.

The Tao family has a peach blossom formation, and it is impossible to enter and exit at will. It can be seen from this that the person who transported the thief into Tao's house was his son Tao Xi, and the person who transported the thief out was also his son Tao Xi.

Tao Qi was very anxious and shouted quickly: "Young Master...this has nothing to do with us...it was all done by this little beast Tao Xi..."

How can Tao Xindi manage this? It is already difficult to explain to the Tianshi Mansion now. Tao Xindi said angrily: "Then he was born to you too, and you brought them into the Tao family compound! Put them all into the dungeon, and immediately send people to search for Tao Xi with all their strength! Pass the order, and as long as someone can provide All clues will be rewarded! Anyone who can capture Tao Xi and recover the Tianyin Qin will get whatever they want!"

"Yes!"... Everyone present in the Tao family agreed one after another.

Tao Qi's family was taken away directly. No matter how Tao Qi, Tao Qing, and their wives shouted, it was of no use.

When the others were escorted into the courtyard, Tao Xindi took a deep breath, then looked at Zhenren Zhang and said: "Brother Zhang, my Tao family really has no control over this matter, but please don't worry, Tianyinqin Since it was lost in my Tao family, and it is my Tao family who has become a scum, then my Tao family will definitely give Tianshi Mansion an explanation! No matter where the thieves escape to the ends of the earth, our Tao family will definitely capture them and send them to heaven in person. Master’s Mansion!”
