Chapter 63 Stealing the Sacred Jade Card

Chapter 63 Stealing the Holy Jade Card

At night, Li Xin returned to the restaurant alone.

"brother!"

Before I even entered, I heard Bai Zhantang’s voice behind me.

Li Xin turned around and came over after seeing him closing the door of the inn.

Then he smiled and said: "Brother Bai, you won't be kicked out again, will you?"

It doesn't look like it, since he didn't even bring a bedding with him after all.

Sure enough, when Bai Zhantang came closer, he said in a serious tone, "I'm here to tell you to be careful."

Li Xin said: "Who is it?"

Bai Zhantang pointed towards the second floor of the inn: "The smelly guest this morning turned out to be the tomb robber we met on the black market."

"Which one?"

Dazui didn't think it through.

"So it was a false alarm. Maybe the thief gave up halfway through digging the hole."

However, the Ancient Tomb Sect and the "Nine Yin Manual" are of great importance, affecting whether his martial arts career will go smoothly in the future, so he must not reveal even half of it to avoid causing variables and causing complications.

At least he did something good, even if it was a bit rough.

"I didn't buy it. It was a jade plaque that someone ordered for me earlier. I won't go into details. Anyway, a jade plaque can make the shopkeeper calm down, so it's worth a lot."

But some people mocked him for being stupid and thankless.

Why not give out porridge and food at the door of the restaurant? At least it is a favor to the living people. People will still remember your kindness. Occasionally, you can help with a few words of publicity and your reputation will rise?

Li Xin felt a cold wind blowing across his face, and Bai Zhantang, who was beside him just now, disappeared, and he barely saw his back entering the window.

"Brother Bai, why are you talking about that ghost girl? You misunderstood me too much! And if you really want to go to a brothel, how do you explain to Shopkeeper Tong? I'm afraid I won't kick you out for a night, but kick you out completely.

.”

Soon she returned and nodded to everyone.

Li Xin thought to himself that he might have bought another cheap fake and fooled Tong Xiangyu.

Bai Zhantang persuaded him earnestly.

You know, the second person in the Jia family to die was the one who was stabbed into the house.

Li Xinxin felt a little guilty, but on the surface he accepted it calmly.

Guo Furong raised her question.

Bai Zhantang's expression changed, his feet moved slightly, and with a "swish", he jumped diagonally from the ground to the second floor, and climbed in through the window of a certain room.

Soon after entering, he figured out what was going on.

Lu Xiucai, Li Dazui, Guo Furong, and Mo Xiaobei all have similar attitudes to Tong Xiangyu.

Li Xin sighed secretly and walked towards the door of the inn.

Everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor to talk.

"Brother, if you want to go to bed, go to bed early. Don't read those messy and strange books before going to bed, such as vixens turning into beautiful girls, taking a female ghost as a concubine, and so on."

Just as he was thinking about it, Tong Xiangyu's shouts came from the second floor of Tongfu Inn.

"What explanation! Do I need to give her an explanation? I didn't mean it before, but today I gave her a small gift and coaxed her into being fascinated and obedient."

Bai Zhantang briefly mentioned the jade plaque and had no intention of going into details.

So as I spoke, I deliberately changed the subject.

"Oh, it's just him, I understand, I will be careful."

"That's right. I think he just wanted to show off his bad taste. Anyway, he didn't lose anything. Let's just forget about it."

It turned out that somewhere in a corner of Tong Xiangyu's room, a hole was silently drilled into the wall.

"I have nothing else to do and I'm going to bed. Brother Bai, you should also go to bed early. It's getting colder and colder at night."

The main reason is that he doesn't pay much attention to the cemetery, just to remind Li Xin a few words.

"Come here! Zhantang, help!"

Tong Xiangyu glared at him, and he suddenly felt confused.

Bai Zhantang flipped his hair and said.

If you set up a sign for a dead person, the person involved is dead and cannot help spread the reputation. You can only rely on indirect methods, and the effect will be much worse.

Most people agree. After all, in this world, the dead are honored and buried in peace. It is indeed a meritorious deed to put a sign on an unnamed grave.

"It's like bone-shrinking kung fu. Anyone who robs tombs should practice this since they were young."

"Ah? Does that guy know how to shrink the bones? He doesn't look like he knows how to do martial arts."

"That hole is only slightly bigger than my head. How could anyone possibly get through it?"

Lu Xiucai said.

"Tsk, let's just go to the last one and the one who was scared away by the female ghost."

So his attention could easily return to Tong Xiangyu's matter.

But it was different to Li Xin's ears.

Guo Furong said this, but she got up obediently and ran to the second floor to confirm.

Li Xin went to the cemetery to do meritorious deeds, and it was widely spread.

"So fast."

Almost everyone on East Street knows that the new owner of Yihong Restaurant did not start business immediately after taking over the restaurant, but instead did good deeds.

Li Xin is now wearing a thick coat and a cotton hat, both of which are relatively cheap.

At this time, Tong Xiangyu tried his best to cover up the loss of the jade plaque.

"That's not necessarily true. What if the thief is a child?"

Although she wanted to hide the fact that the jade token was lost, it was really scary that the room where she slept had been unknowingly drilled.

Only Bai Zhantang was suspicious because he and Li Xin both knew clues that a female ghost was haunting the cemetery.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll go out of my way to accompany you to the Baihua Building on South Street or the Feng Lai Building on West Street. You can go and quench your thirst and stop thinking nonsense."

Isn't it the stolen jade tablet?

It’s not good to keep sending fakes. It feels like you are laying mines. The more you bury them, the more you bury them. There will always be a day when they are full and explode.

At the same time, she discovered that the jade plaque given to her by Bai Zhantang was missing.

The thief who dug the hole has not been seen, and he has probably left.

Discuss the deeds but not the heart.

Li Xinxin thought that Bai Zhantang's sense of smell was really sharp and he knew that his motive for going to the cemetery was impure.

Bai Zhantang talked and gestured continuously.

As expected, he was dragged into the topic.

How could she remain calm, so she just shouted for help.

In Tongfu Inn, after hearing about this, Tong Xiangyu agreed very much with Li Xin's approach. He even came over to ask if she needed help and praised him highly.

"Just, even if that guest is a tomb robber, then he can just rob and dig up graves. What is he showing off by coming to our inn?"

It's just ordinary good deeds, it has to be linked to the cemetery.

With Bai Zhantang here, there is no danger.

I bought it new specifically for going to the cemetery to do errands, so I don't feel bad if it gets dirty.

Li Xin knew what Bai Zhantang meant. Someone he had met on the black market suddenly came to be a customer. Although it was most likely a coincidence, he had to be on guard against anything unexpected.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm and Tong Xiangyu was fine and intact.

Bai Zhantang had already locked the suspect at this time, and said to Guo Furong: "Xiao Guo, go up and see if the new guest is still in the guest room."

Li Xinxin said that there were so many tomb robbers in the black market, how could he remember who they were?

"Small gift? Didn't you give the hairpin you bought on the black market the same day you came back? Where did you buy something new?"

Tong Xiangyu is still working hard.

"Didn't you lose anything? Where's the jade token I gave you?"

Bai Zhantang had noticed her unnaturalness.

Moreover, after giving the jade plaque to her, she kept it hanging on her chest. Now she doesn't see any jade plaque there.
