A few days later, Zhou Chun brought Shi Chao to report the good news: "Girl, the thieves who broke into the safe were caught. They are the two families mentioned above."

"There is a group of gangsters living in that alley, who usually engage in sneaky activities. One of the gangster leaders is named Lu Yi. This Lu Yi usually likes to delve into strange skills. When someone opened the door of Dali Temple, he did it.

Twice. Because he couldn't open the lock, he was always itching to study the lock again."

"For this reason, he even sent his men to our shop to ask if there were any individual locks for sale. Naturally, the clerk refused. He and his men searched everywhere and found that people who could afford safes had nursing homes and servants.

.The safe is either placed in the warehouse and guarded by someone else; or it is placed in the master's room, with maids and women watching when he goes in and out."

"The gangsters under him saw him like this, and thought that if they could really open a safe, they could get their money back by stealing from one house, and they could make even more. They simply gritted their teeth and pooled their money to buy an insurance policy for Lu Yi.

I’ll come back and think about it.”

"Lu Yi has been thinking about this safe for more than a month. He also made a special small tool to pick the lock, but before he could open the lock, the lock broke. Lu Yi couldn't hold back this time.

He just bought the house that his parents left him, and bought a safe, and then he finally broke the lock on the safe."

"They had already found out who they wanted to steal from. The rich man who was the first to attack had money but little power. Even if he lost his money, he would not dare to go to the Yamen or Baoningxuan to cause trouble.

Arrangements have been made for the families who came down to pry, and they are all in similar situations to this family."

"If it hadn't been for your reminder, miss, the Yamen hadn't caught this gang in time, I'm afraid countless families would have suffered. When the crowd gets excited, they might come to our safe shop to cause trouble and demand compensation from us."

Speaking of this, Shi Chao was still frightened.

Although the shop is nominally owned by the emperor, if everyone makes a fuss, the emperor can't punish everyone. He may blame the girl, saying that the thing she made is unreliable and damages his reputation.

My girl is talented, and my uncle has just become a sixth-rank official. If it is ruined by such a deal, it will really outweigh the gain.

"Publish this matter." Zhao Ruxi said.

"Girl?" Shi Chao was shocked.

He was still thinking about spending some money to block the officials' mouths and prevent them from publicizing this matter, so as not to ruin Baoningxuan's reputation and make the emperor unhappy.

Although Zhou Chun didn't know what medicine Zhao Ruxi was selling in his gourd, he had long been fascinated by Zhao Ruxi's confidence.

Girls are people who take one step and look at ten steps. How can they guess what they are thinking?

He said: "Shopkeeper Shi, the girl has her own reasons for giving this order. Just follow the girl's instructions. Half a year ago, when the girl asked you to register the purchaser's status, didn't you also not understand? Now look at it.

Let’s see how it turns out?”

When Zhou Chun said this, Shi Chao suddenly came to his senses and saluted Zhao Ruxi immediately: "Yes, girl, I will spread the word about this."

…

Liu Longcheng is a wealthy family in the west of the city. The Liu family has worked hard for several lifetimes, and with some luck, they have accumulated some wealth. Although they are not as good as those powerful families who are famous for their food, they are still well-clothed and well-fed, and they live a very happy life.

rich.

Liu Longcheng came back from the shop that day and saw that his always cheerful father was now frowning. He quickly asked: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, do you know about Wang Fugui's house on Yiqian Street? I was out for a walk today, and I heard someone on the street saying that his house was robbed, and the safe was broken into, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside were

Everything was stolen. In addition to these, there are also house deeds and land deeds."

Liu Longcheng was shocked: "How could it be? There were so many people trying in front of the Dali Temple, but they couldn't open the safe. How did those thieves pry open the safe?"

They also thought that the safe was really strong. In addition, it was made of iron. As long as it was painted every year to prevent it from rusting, it could last for dozens or hundreds of years, so it was worth spending a few hundred taels of silver.

.So they also bought one and placed it in Mrs. Liu’s house.

I didn't expect that this cabinet could be pried open.

All their valuables are stored inside. If a thief steals them, the loss will be huge.

"No, I have to go out and inquire." Liu Longcheng couldn't sit still and went out without eating.

When he came back half an hour later, his face looked very ugly.

"Send more guards to guard the house, especially your house. A thief can't just steal the contents out of thin air in front of the guards, right?" Liu Longcheng said.

Old Mrs. Liu nodded: "That's all we can do."

Having said that, Mrs. Liu didn't fall asleep that night. He always felt that someone was entering the house and stealing things. The next day, he didn't go out to have fun with others. He only stayed at home and guarded his safe.

Mrs. Liu was very worried when she saw this.

When Liu Longcheng came back in the evening, she said to her son: "What should I do? Your father is doing this, which is not good for his health. It would have been better not to buy this safe in the first place. After spending so much money, it is not safe."

"I was worried when I didn't buy it, but I couldn't do anything about it at that time. After buying it, I slept peacefully for a while. Who knew it would happen again." Mr. Liu's words were fair.

The old lady just felt sorry for her wife and complained a few words, but she didn't really think the safe was bad.

She is the matron of the house and knows all too well the experience of having a safe.

The valuable things in the house used to be stored in mahogany cabinets, locked with big locks and guarded by servants, but they were still uneasy. There were also many things stolen from the house. Some were outsiders and some were inside. The locks were easy to pick.

, it was accidentally stolen. Having a safe makes me feel more at ease. No one can open it except her who has the key.

Who would have thought that the safe would not be safe now, and we would be back to the same fearful days as before.

Liu Longcheng looked relaxed when he came back. When he heard the conversation between the old couple, he hurriedly said: "Father, mother, I was just about to tell you two about this. Today the Yamen announced that the thief was caught

, it was Bao Ningxuan who provided the clues that led to the arrest. The things that Wang Fugui’s family had lost were all recovered before the thief had time to deal with them.”

"Really? Oh, that's great." Old Mrs. Liu shouted.

Old Mrs. Liu asked: "How were you caught?"

Liu Longcheng told the story about Lu Yi and his group, and finally said: "At the beginning, I thought Baoningxuan was unnecessary. We bought this thing too late. Baoningxuan's business is not so prosperous anymore, and there are no customers in the shop.
