Deng Renkun arrived in Renzhi County, Fuyi County for only two years, and managed this large county in southern Sichuan with abundant materials and people in an orderly manner. The people in the city are happy to work, and the people in the countryside are praised by Li Shu.

But deep in the heart of Deng Zhi County, there has always been heart disease. There is Longguan Mountain 70 miles south of the county seat. The mountain here is steep and lush with trees, and it has always been a place where strong people cut paths and kill more goods. In the past two years, there has been another group of bandits here, and the leader is called General Li Heng.

Horizontal General is the name of strongmen and bandits in the Shu land. General Li Heng robbed money and hurt his life in Longguan Mountain. Although Deng Zhi County sent troops to capture him many times, he did not even see the shadow of General Li Heng. Longguan Mountain is the only place in the county to lead to Lushui, so the existence of Li Heng General is like a throat for Deng Zhi County, not going to be unhappy.

One day, Deng Zhixian was reading in his study when his friend Squire Lin came to visit. As soon as Squire Lin entered the door, he said happily, "My magistrate, I have good news for you. Someone from my hometown said that the pair of treasures had been bought."

It turned out that Squire Lin loved collecting antiques. A rich man in Squire Lin's hometown had a pair of treasures. After talking for a long time, he refused to sell them. Today, he finally agreed to sell them, so Squire Lin came to Deng Zhi County.

Deng Zhixian was also very happy for his friend. But then Squire Lin asked a question: "My lord, I bought this treasure, but how can I bring it back? I heard that Li Heng of Longguan Mountain is very rampant during this time!"

Squire Lin's hometown was in Lushui, and this treasure had to go through Longguan Mountain to be transported back. Deng Zhixian couldn't think of a good idea for a while, and the two sat opposite each other for a long time without words. Suddenly Deng Zhixian looked at the book in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

Deng Zhixian said, "Yes!"

Squire Lin glanced at Deng Zhixian's gaze. The book was "Thirty-six Strategies", and the one Deng Zhixian was reading was "Concealing the sky and crossing the sea".

Three days later, a butler led four men across Longguan Mountain. The butler led the way, and the four men behind him followed in groups of two, each carrying a large quaint box.

At that moment, the sky had just turned white.

Although the butler was old, he was agile. As he walked in front, he urged the guys behind him. "Everyone, hurry up.

The guys also quickened their pace.

"Haha! I didn't slept, I'm waiting for you here!" A thick but harsh voice came from the forest, startling the housekeeper and the four buddies to stop immediately. Several strong men with wide waists and guns came out of the forest and blocked the way.

The leading bandit had a tall and sturdy body and was the famous General Li Heng. His eyes swept across the two large boxes behind the butler and he said excitedly, "You just said that there is a treasure to be shipped out, let me see what kind of treasure it is?"

The butler was terrified, and trembling as he took out a large amount of silver from his arms and handed it to General Li Heng, "Uncles, raise your hand and let us go. This box contains some clothes and books from our owner, which are not worth much."

The butler made a large sum of money, which surprised General Li Heng. In addition, the butler's words made General Li Heng full of fantasies about the two big boxes. He waved his big knife, "Brothers, open the box and see what treasures are inside!"

The bandits behind him swarmed up, and the four guys were so scared that they dropped the box and hid far away. The housekeeper wanted to stop him, but Li Heng blocked him with a knife. The box was opened, and it did contain a lot of clothes and books, but the most eye-catching one was the blue and white plum bottle lying quietly in the middle of the two boxes. The plum bottle had a thin neck and shoulders, a jade-like glaze, and a green color, just like two beautiful women sleeping gracefully.

Li Hengjiang couldn't help but shine in his eyes, and reached out to get the plum vase. The housekeeper begged, "Sir, take all the other things away, this pair of blue and white plum vases is the ancestral property of our owner, if you take them away, we will not be able to survive!"

Li Hengjiang became more energetic when he heard it: "This is the treasure you mentioned earlier, right? Although Sir System occupies the mountain as king, his eyes still know the goods. You go back and tell your boss that his treasure is on the mountain. If he wants this pair of treasures, ask him to bring the silver to the mountain to redeem it!"

After searching the box, Li Hengjiang took the plum bottle and led his subordinates away with the housekeeper pleading.

The housekeeper was like a frosty eggplant, constantly scolding several buddies, while shouting loudly at Li Hengjiang's back: "Uncles, this blue and white plum vase is priceless, it can't be sold to others easily, we must wait for our owner to redeem it!"

Li Heng had already left, and the butler hurriedly called a few guys to carry the box and continue on their way.

Finally, Long Guanshan was left far behind, and the butler let out a long breath, in good spirits, and hummed a tune: "I was watching the mountain scenery in the city tower, and I heard the chaos outside the city..." The guys were very surprised. One of them couldn't help but whisper, "Butler, the baby has been robbed, can you still be happy?"

The butler said, "What the hell do you know? Lift the box well. If you break it, you will die!"

Looking at the pair of dragon and phoenix beast boxes made of huanghuali wood placed in front of them, Deng Zhixian and Squire Lin involuntarily stretched out their hands and rubbed their patterns carefully, and their mouths were full of praise.

Squire Lin said, "This is Hainan's thousand-year-old huanghuali wood beast chest. It is said that this pair of chests was a tribute given by the King of Hainan to the Emperor and Empress of Huizong back then, but for some reason, they also ended up in the folk."

Deng Zhixian couldn't help but quip: "With the beloved thing of the emperor and queen, I wonder if my brother can sleep peacefully tonight?"

Squire Lin laughed and said, "My lord is laughing. But then again, my lord's trick of'hiding from the world and crossing the sea 'is clever! I just asked my family to make some simple disguises on this pair of boxes and deceived them. I think that General Li Heng is also a rascal, thinking that he has a pair of precious plum bottles, maybe he is happy to drink and celebrate on the mountain now!"

"As a bandit, it would be very inconvenient for General Li Heng to keep a pair of bottles with him," Mr. Deng said. "Besides, he likes silver. I think he will sell the plum bottles sooner or later. I will immediately tell the neighboring counties and counties, and wait for the good show to play out."

Sure enough, a month later, the neighboring prefect of Xufu sent someone to tell Deng Zhixian that Li Hengjiang had been captured.

It turned out that there were two businesspeople who went to the largest antique store in Xufu County, "Boya Zhai", to sell a pair of counterfeit Yuanqinghua plum vases. After seeing the plum vases, the shopkeeper calmly stabilized the two, and then quietly sent a man to tell the magistrate, who immediately sent people to surround the antique store and captured the two businesspeople. After some severe torture, one of them was Li Hengzheng of Long Guanshan.

Deng Zhi County immediately sent people to Xufu County to escort Li Heng back.

When he beheaded General Li Heng, Deng Zhixian asked him what he had to say in the end. General Li Heng said bitterly, "I have been tricked by you officials. If I become a robber in my next life, I will go to the school to study for a few more days before I can fight with you!"
