The next day, at noon, a list suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of Longnan County Government, detailing the missing items from Hu Chengxuan's warehouse.
It read:
"I am the chivalrous thief Liao Sanbian. Frowning upon hearing about Hu Chengxuan's embezzlement of military funds and personal use of public assets, I decided to investigate his household two days ago. Little did I expect that on that very night, thunder and lightning would strike, demolishing the iron doors of the warehouse. Thus, I was able to enter and take away ten million taels' worth of silver notes. When I left, there were countless pieces of gold, and silver piled into hills, as well as numerous treasures. Among them, there were ten large boxes of pearls the size of a hen's eggs. Folks, just think about it, Hu Chengxuan is neither the Emperor nor a wealthy merchant, so where did all this silver come from?"
