Gao Bufan pressed the crossbow barrel against the fat cook's neck. The latter thought it was a dagger and almost pissed himself. He begged tremblingly: "Hero, spare your life. All the money is in the bag beside the bed. Take it all away.

Don't kill the little one, because he has an eighty-year-old nobleman to support him..."

"Is there a three-year-old baby waiting to be fed?" Gao Bufan interrupted.

The fat cook immediately nodded and said, "How do you know that, good man?"

Gao Bufan was secretly amused. He glared and said in a cold voice, pretending to be ferocious: "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to survive, just answer whatever I ask you."

"Ask as you ask, I promise to tell you everything you know!"

"Who are you from Yuhuaji?"

"The younger one is a cook, responsible for the adults' three meals a day."

"It seems that you adults are quite naughty. You actually bring a cook with you when you are on a business trip?"

The fat cook actually showed off with some pride: "Although I am a cook, I am not an ordinary cook. My ancestors have been imperial chefs for three generations. They not only served the late emperor, but also served the Northern Zhou royal family..."

Gao Bufan hit the fat cook on the head hard, covered his mouth before he screamed in pain, and scolded him coldly: "No matter how awesome you are, you are not a cook. I am here to make a fortune, not to listen to you."

Bragging, say, where is your lord's money hidden? As for the chicken bits and pieces on your bedside, I still despise it."

The fat cook was so painful that he almost shed tears, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and blurted out: "In the second master's room."

"Second Master, Yuwen Zhiji?"

The fat cook nodded quickly, and Gao Bufan said suspiciously: "How do you, a cook, know this? It can't be Laozi Meng, right?" After saying that, he put a little force on his hand and thrust the iron crossbow barrel forward.

The fat cook shivered cleverly and quickly explained: "I will make supper for the master tonight. I saw him handing all the packed belongings to the second master. I heard that the second master will leave for Luoyang tomorrow.

Yes, I guess you asked the second master to take the property back to Luoyang first."

Gao Bufan secretly called it a fluke. Fortunately, he came tonight, otherwise his property would have been taken away by Yuwen Zhiji tomorrow. It would be impossible to get back his father's money by then.

"Which room does Yuwen Zhiji live in?" Gao Bufan continued to ask.

"In the third room on the east side." The fat cook was obviously afraid of death, so he betrayed his master happily.

Gao Bufan found clothes and blocked the fat cook's mouth, tied his hands and feet tightly, and threw him under the bed. He warned harshly: "Just be patient, I will leave as soon as I get the money. If you dare to play tricks,

, I will kill you when I come back."

The fat cook nodded, and indeed he lay under the bed without any struggle.

Gao Bufan then left the room and walked towards the row of houses to the east. He soon came to the third door. He lay down by the door and listened for a moment. He faintly heard snoring coming from inside, and then took out his hand.

The dagger was about to lift the door latch, but the door opened with a slight push. Yu Wenhuaji probably didn't expect that someone would dare to steal on his head, so he didn't lock the door at all.

This saves trouble, Gao Bufan went straight into the house, knocked Yuwen Zhiji unconscious on the bed and tied him up, and then he unhurriedly searched for his belongings.

Since Yuwen Zhiji was leaving tomorrow, all his luggage and belongings were packed, including seven large wooden boxes, and they were all locked!

Gao Bufan picked the locks one by one and found that one of the boxes contained gold and silver, three boxes contained clothing and souvenirs, and the remaining three boxes contained copper coins. He made a rough estimate and added up.

I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Gao Bufan was surprised and happy. His grandmother, Yu Wenhua, and this dog official, had extorted countless horse farms along the way, tens of thousands of taels of silver. The profit of Feiying Racecourse in ten years may not be even 10,000 taels of silver. As a result,

This guy just goes out for a walk under the guise of patrolling the racecourse.

These are all ill-gotten gains. Gao Bufan is of course welcome, but it is a bit troublesome because there are too many copper coins and the three large wooden boxes weigh several hundred kilograms. How to get them?

"No matter what, take as much as you can!" Gao Bufan took off the sheets from the bed and spread them flat on the ground. He packed up the box of precious gold and silver, carried it out of the room, and then went to the pond and put it in the water.

, and then go back to move the copper coins.

It was impossible to take away so many copper coins at once, so Gao Bufan took out the three wooden boxes, sank them all into the depths of the pond, covered them with some silt, and slowly took them out later when he had time.

After everything was settled, Gao Bufan divided the gold and silver into two parts and transported them out of the moat through the culvert. When he emerged from the culvert for the second time, the bright moon in the sky was almost setting, and it was estimated that it would be dawn in about half an hour.

.

At that moment, Gao Bufan stopped staying. He picked up the heavy bag of gold and silver and fled quickly under the cover of night. Since it would be dawn soon, he might meet early pedestrians on the official road. In order to avoid exposing his traces, Gao Bufan

After walking quickly for several miles, Bufan found a mountain forest, dug a hole to hide the gold and silver, and marked it before continuing on his way.

Without the burden on him, Gao Bufan's footsteps became even faster. The early autumn morning breeze was blowing, and as he was doing his exercises while walking, his originally wet clothes quickly dried. At this time, the sky was already dimly lit, and occasionally

You will meet one or two early walkers, and you won't find it strange. They will look at each other and pass by.

When Gao Bufan returned to the Flying Eagle Racecourse, the rising sun had just risen, and the old servant responsible for guarding the suspension bridge was still dozing in the pergola. Seeing this, Gao Bufan swam across the river lightly, climbed up the bank, and slipped back to the house.

.

Gao Bufan secretly climbed over the wall into the small courtyard where he lived, poured a few buckets of well water into his pocket, then returned to the room, changed into clean clothes, fell down and fell asleep.

This sleep was so sweet that Gao Bufan didn't wake up until the evening. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was faced with two terrifying big pie faces. After taking a closer look, he realized that they were Gao Shou and Gao Ren.

The object was almost touching his face, and his eyes were as if he were studying a fossil.

"Master, you finally woke up!" Gao Shou said happily.

It is said that Gao Bufan and Gao Ren used to call Gao Bufan Dalang. Although his surname was not Wu, Gao Bufan couldn't help but sweat every time he was called Dalang. So at his insistence, the servants of the Gao family all

Started to call me Young Master instead.

Gao Bufan sat up, stretched, and asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's time to have dinner soon, young master, when did you say it was?" Gao Shou asked in return.

Gao Bufan was slightly surprised. He actually slept all day. It seemed that he had consumed too much last night. He didn't feel it when he was doing the exercises. As a result, he felt tired and sleepy when he stopped. It seems that the exercises are not omnipotent.

, you have to eat when you are hungry, and sleep when you are tired!

When he thought of eating, Gao Bufan suddenly felt his muscles and intestines rumbling, and the feeling of hunger came over him in waves. He was so uncomfortable that he went crazy!

"Master, did you become a thief last night? I've never seen you sleep so deeply during the day!" That guy Gao Ren came closer and looked at Gao Bufan with a confused look on his face.

"Brother, you, go eat, I'm starving!" Gao Bufan pushed the guy's greasy face away and ran out of the house quickly, heading straight for the kitchen.

"Master, please eat slowly, don't choke." The cook looked at Gao Bufan who hugged the rice pail and ate the rice pail directly. She was surprised and distressed. Seeing how hungry the child was, she was really afraid that he would eat all the rice pail.

Chew it down.

"Young master, you can eat as much as you want, it's enough!" Gao Shou silently shoveled a shovelful of diced chicken from the iron pot and stir-fried bamboo shoots until it reached the rice pail.

Gao Bufan didn't talk nonsense until he emptied the rice pail and then burped with satisfaction. Gao Ren stuck out his tongue and said: "It seems that the young master did not work as a thief last night, but as a coolie. Look.

Make you hungry."

Gao Bufan glared at the guy and said, "You talk a lot of nonsense, but you still haven't brought me a bowl of water." After saying that, he burped again.

Gao Ren quickly poured a bowl of cold water for Gao Bufan and said mysteriously: "I heard that Quan County has been put under martial law. Master, do you know why?"

"Nonsense, I just got up, I know nothing, it's none of my business!" Gao Bufan pretended not to know.

Gao Ren wiped his face and gloated: "It is said that Bi Ma Wen Yu Wen Ji was stolen last night, and all his money disappeared overnight. Yu Wen Ji was so angry that he ordered the city to be closed down and searched. Hehe, it's really evil.

You deserve the bad retribution, but this is not the most sensational thing."

Gao Bufan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? Is there anything more sensational than this?"

Gao Ren nodded solemnly, but Gao Shou had already said first: "Magistrate Zhou has been killed!"

Gao Bufan was taken aback and blurted out: "Who killed him?"

"The young master also knows this person!"

"who?"

"Sun Anzu!"

Gao Bufan almost jumped up and was so shocked that he asked after a moment: "Why? Why did Sun Anzu kill Magistrate Zhou?"

Gao Ren shook his head and said: "The news is not very clear right now. It is said that it was because Magistrate Zhou forcibly recruited refugees as slave laborers, and Sun Anzu was among them. He got angry and killed Magistrate Zhou."

Gao Bufan's heart moved. It seemed that the person he saw at the city gate that day was indeed Sun Anzu. He quickly asked: "Then was he caught by the government?"

"Probably not yet. It is said that after Sun Anzu killed Magistrate Zhou, he fled with some refugees. Officials are hunting him everywhere. Fortunately, this Sun Anzu has not come to our horse farm to work as a slave, otherwise our horse farm would also have to

Being implicated by him." Gao Ren said happily.

"Master, there is no place for Sun Anzu to go. He won't come to our racecourse, right? If he comes, Master, will you take him in?" Gao Shou asked a little worriedly.
