The drizzling rain stopped at dusk, but the entire world was still wet. The leaves on the trees were still dripping rain, the night was near, and the lights on Chang'an Street were bright. However, there were no pedestrians on the street.

Under the dim light of the lantern hanging at the entrance, they could faintly make out the words "Gao Mansion" written on the plaque on the door frame. The two stone lions at the entrance were proudly staring at the dark street in the cold wind, and around the stone lion's neck hung the large red flower that had hung yesterday. The red flower was already soaked.

One of them noticed that a large tree was standing on a tree trunk. He jumped over the wall and entered the house, while the other jumped on a tree trunk. The third person jumped onto a large stone lion head in front of the house and jumped into the yard.

The inner courtyard of the mansion was extremely large and pitch black with only a few spots in the light. There was no sound from within the room, so the four of them quietly stepped into the courtyard. The gentle sound of the wind blowing without footsteps could be heard, indicating the high level of their qinggong.

When he thought about it again, when the inner courtyard entered, sounds came from inside, and the light became brighter. Occasionally, soldiers would pass through the courtyard, and the maidservants would pass by the corridor. Many places were decorated with lanterns and decorations, and the mansion was overflowing with good news. The four of them approached a room that was even brighter and pierced through a thin paper window. They vaguely saw a person sitting in front of a table as he flipped through a thin book.

"Master, all the debts have been settled." A voice sounded in the room.

The person sitting at the table replied with a beaming smile, "Mhmm. The local officials have names, too. "

"Those who were promoted by you all received gifts." The voice was full of joy as it spoke.

"My promotion to them was not in vain." This was Gao Wei. From the smile on his face, it was obvious that he was satisfied with the written gift written on the account book. He closed the account book. "You should keep the account book properly." An old man walked over and took the account book.

Gao Wei then asked, "Have you chosen all the gifts that you received?"

The old man replied, "Yes, I will. I will store them in the storage room in the inner courtyard. Madame took a few cloths and said they were made into clothes. "

"I'll go to the side room and take a look." Gao Wei stood up.

The four men who were hiding outside exchanged glances and immediately turned away.

Gao Wei walked into the storage room that stored gifts. Looking around, he said to the old man beside him, "Where is the thousand-year-old girl red sent by the Xu County magistrate court?"

The old man quickly went to get it, only to see him pull out a red cloth. His hand shook inside and his expression immediately changed. He lifted the red cloth and it became empty.

"Old master, this …" The old man said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Gao Wei asked in annoyance.

"The red girl has disappeared."

"He's gone?"

"Why did it disappear!?" I'm tasting it for the tall man! " A voice came down from the rafters of the roof.

Gao Wei and the old man looked at the beam in surprise. In the dim light, they saw a man in black sitting on the beam, holding a jug of wine and tasting it happily. He had a contented look on his face.

"Flying thief?" When the old man saw the black-clothed man on the beam shout out, he took a few steps back in panic.

"Flying thief?" Gao Wei was clearly a bit panicked, but he calmed down right away, "Didn't the Snitch leave Chang'an already? Why did you come back? "

The man in black smiled. "That's right, but Chang'an is a good place. With a thousand years of our daughter's beauty, I can't bear to leave."

"You …" Before Gao Wei could finish his sentence, the man in black on the beam interrupted him and said, "I heard that the tall man's silver bank is much richer, and the tall man knows that my flying bandits are specialised leaders, especially those officials of the imperial court like the tall man. Recently, the flood has washed away many houses of the common people, and the food in the fields has also been washed away, so I'm a poor thief so I came to the mansion to collect some silver taels." The man in black was very happy.

Gao Wei, who was under the beam, became even more furious. He humphed and said, "You thief, someone come, someone come." Ye Zichen shouted angrily towards the outside.

"Don't call him 'Tall Man'. Such a good person should be handed over to your guard dogs to ruin the scenery." The voice was not from the man in black sitting on the beam. Gao Wei turned to look at the door and saw a man in black leaning against the door frame, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

"This …" Who are you? " At this time, Gao Wei was both surprised and flustered. In his storage room, there were two unidentified black clothed people.

"We're thieves." Suddenly, another voice came from the other room. This man in black had his face covered, and his messy hair covered this side of his face.

The panicked old man looked at the black clothed men in the room and his body shivered, "Master …" "This is …"

"Who the hell are you people? What on earth do you want to do in my house at night? " Gao Wei, who was still calm a moment ago, looked at the man in black in the room and seemed to be caught off guard, his eyes showing his unease.

"We're just here to get a drink." Suddenly, another black-clothed person with messy hair appeared from behind the pile of gifts, "Although this isn't as refreshing as the two of them having a glass of wine, it still won't lose any of its sweetness." The black clothed man raised his wine pot and took a big gulp of wine.

Four, four unidentified men in black appeared in the room out of nowhere.

"Liu An, get someone to …" Without waiting for the anxious Gao Wei to finish his sentence, the black-clothed man jumped down from the beam and landed right in front of Gao Wei.

"What is it? Get someone to arrest us? " The man in black handed the woman in his arms over to another man in black beside him. "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to treat the guests who come to congratulate the tall man like this, right?"

There were also guards guarding the front yard. Very few people would come to the back yard, so no one knew what was going on inside.

The black-clothed man who was leaning against the door frame slowly walked over with a jug of wine. "I heard that the tall man is the most respected of all the officials in the imperial court. The four of us are truly touched to have a visit tonight."

"You crazy people. "You evil thief." Gao Wei was excited by the words of the four men in black, and his voice started to tremble.

"Hey, Tall Man, you can't say it like that. How about those people who brought gifts and silver taels to celebrate their birthday and those who came to visit us while wearing black clothes? Aren't we all here to offer our birthday wishes to our lord. " The man with the messy hair said, and raised his wine pot to drink, "This is such a good wine, I've never tasted such a good wine before, and I'm really grateful to the big man."

"What on earth do you want?" Gao Wei said in a panic. He was helpless in the face of these four men in black. The normal rain and wind were useless in this dark room.
