Chapter 4 Theft

This county town is located in a remote mountainous area. Shi Tian passed by when he came back more than a hundred years ago when he was waiting for his death. At that time, there were only two streets in the city. Both sides of the street were covered with dilapidated low-rise tiled houses, and even the county government office was dilapidated. Now it has changed its appearance and is at least ten times larger in scale. There are three-story and five-story buildings on both sides of the street, which makes him feel very moved.

After visiting a few shops, I saw a small park where many elderly people were playing chess and chatting. Shi Tian knew nothing about the current world, so he found an old man to talk to him. The old man was probably extremely bored. Seeing someone coming to his door to listen to his teachings was a pity. Shi Tian's ignorance surprised the old man, and he guided him tirelessly, and gave him some life insights and the principles of being a human being.

After accepting the old man's teachings, Shi Tian learned that the current county government was called the county government, and asked the old man about the location of the county government. He thought that since the county magistrate's nephew was not a good person, and he did everything wrong with the county magistrate's relationship, the county magistrate must not be much better. It would be better to go to his house to get some money to spend it, so he said goodbye to the old man and walk towards the county government.

When he came to the county government, Shi Tian was shocked again. The exterior wall of the building was full of glass, and it was impossible to see how many floors it was. From the height, there were at least ten floors. There was a large square in front of the building, covering an area of ​​about three acres. There were two stone lions more than one person tall in front of the gate, one left and one right, and two people wearing green hats stood guard. The weapons on their backs looked like muskets they had seen in Europe in their previous life.

Shi Tian walked around the county government and found a place where no one was around, jumped over the wall, and walked into the building with a swagger. Although the staff in the building saw that he was dressed strangely and had long hair scattered, usually people who came to the county government passed the guards at the gate to interrogate and register, so they didn't care and let him walk around.

Shi Tian turned around and found that they were all offices, and none of them seemed to be living in the yamen. He was surprised. Could it be that the county magistrate now lives in the yamen? So he ran to the roof and looked around and saw that the entire government compound did not look like the houses that officials lived in. However, there were several five-story buildings and several beautiful three-story buildings in the high wall not far away. The small buildings also brought gardens. Whether the houses that officials lived in or not, they must be rich. According to the old man in the park just now, good people are basically poor, and only those who are bad can they have money. This is no different from before. Although the world is changing, the reason why good people are basically poor is still unchanged forever.

Shi Tian was too lazy to walk the stairs, so he jumped down from the roof and landed quietly, climbing out of the wall at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to detect. When he arrived at the residential community, he still did not walk through the main entrance, climbed into the wall, and strolled to the window of the largest small building. He used internal force to open the latch of the window door, opened a gap and listened for a while, and then he made sure there was no sound of breathing before entering the room.

But this family is far less rich than he thought. In addition to the living room, there is also a study room in the bedroom with furniture. The other houses are either full of miscellaneous items or empty. The furniture is just ordinary pine furniture. There are a few calligraphy works on the walls and tables of the study room, all of which are written recently, not valuable antiques, as if they were written by the owner of the house himself.

Shi Tian searched again without giving up, but still found nothing. You should know that he had been a thief or a thief. Even if the palace was in a free way, he could not escape his eyes. He couldn't help but walk out of the house in disappointment. Not far away, there was a man wearing a dark blue suit, and his hat was similar to the person standing guard at the gate of the county government just now. However, the color was different and he didn't carry a musket. However, there was a stick hanging around his waist, as if he was patrolling, and was walking towards this side. Shi Tian did not hide, but instead went forward.

The man was the security guard of the community. This community was indeed a residential area of ​​the county party committee and county government. He saw that Shi Tian was wearing clothes that were from the countryside, with long hair scattered and blind flowing. He had never seen them in the community before, and thought that he was a thief? But seeing Shi Tian coming calmly, it was not like the thief should have, and he also felt that it might be a poor relative who had just arrived. However, the county magistrate and secretary lived here. If something went wrong, he could not afford it. So he shouted to Shi Tian: "Child, whose guest are you?"

Shi Tian didn't answer, and walked to the security guard and asked, "Are you a job here?"

Seeing that the child in front of him was so arrogant, the security guard was even more inaccurate about his origin and nodded, "I am the security guard here. Is there anything I need to help me?"

Shi Tianwen said: "Does the county magistrate live here?"

The security guard said: "Yes, are you looking for the county magistrate?"

Shi Tianwen said: "Which house belongs to the county magistrate?"

The security guard pointed to a small building and said, "This is the county magistrate's house. You haven't answered me yet. Not everyone can come in this place."

Shi Tian said: "I am your ancestor!" He flashed behind the security guard and gently pointed his head. The security guard suddenly lost consciousness. Even if he woke up, he would forget what had just happened. Shi Tian dragged him behind the shrub and hid him. He came to the window of his county magistrate's house. After confirming that no one was there, he entered the room in the same way. This house is indeed much more grand than the one just now. The furniture is made of high-end wood such as teak and mahogany. Although Shi Tian didn't recognize some household appliances, he could see that it was much more high-end than the one just now.

After searching, Shi Tian finally found a hidden secret door behind the bookshelf in the study. After opening it, he found a safe. He had traveled around countries and knew that it was a safe. Although the lock was more complicated than an ordinary lock, it was the same for him. He pulled a hair from his head and penetrated the lock hole with internal force. He opened the lock in a short while. The safe was filled with bundles of red paper with human heads. He had just visited several stores and knew that this was the current currency. The red paper said it was one hundred yuan per piece, which seemed to be more than one million. There was no need to guess that the county magistrate was a corrupt official.

Since he was a corrupt official, Shi Tian was not polite. He found a bag and put it in it. After filling the money, he found a small notebook underneath, which read "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China", "current savings" and other words. His own property was stored in a Swiss bank. He knew that the bank was a money shop, and this book was mostly the current "silver notes". When he opened the notebook and found that the value inside was 2 million, he put it in the bag.
