The old man's face was a little solemn, and his palms, which were a little withered at the beginning, were quietly caressing his long gray beard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just sitting like that, the old man gave people a sense of wisdom, and it could be seen from the occasional flash of light between his old eyes that he did not become old and dizzy because of age, but became more shrewd.

The young man on the side saw the old man like this, thought about it, and said: "Uncle, the Li family is also too deceitful, if we compromise so much this time, I am afraid that from now on, there will only be the Li family in the entire Chang'an, and no one will respect our Liu family anymore, for the foundation of our Liu family for four hundred years, uncle, we must not compromise this time, it's a big deal that we will fight to the death." ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be a little moved when he saw the old man, and then continued: "Big brother, Ankang is right, our Liu family has been afraid of anyone in the past few hundred years, killing Hu people and exterminating Qing soldiers, even when the devil came, we didn't take half a step back, it's just a Li family, what do we have to be afraid of." ”

"Alright."

The old man finally reacted at this time, waved his hand and signaled the middle-aged man and the young man to calm down the anger in his heart a little, and said: "The affairs of the Li family can be put aside and then discussed, but our Liu family's internal annihilation must not be let go, I think my Liu family has been in the past few years, there has been such an internal annihilation that almost made us invincible, and I, the head of the family, am really ashamed of our ancestors and ancestors." ”

In the end, the old man's face was a little more sad.

The Liu family puts loyalty and righteousness first, but it has been peaceful for hundreds of years before, but this year, there was an internal annihilation, which directly leaked the secrets of the Liu family, and the Liu family almost fell into a desperate situation.

"Uncle, this internal annihilation can leak so many secrets of our Liu family, and it must be our core member." The young man said with great certainty that only the most core members are qualified to access the Liu family's trade secrets, and this number will definitely not exceed sixteen.

Listening to what the young man said, Du Cheng, who was originally eavesdropping outside, suddenly glanced at the young man.

The appearance of the young man is somewhat similar to that middle-aged man, the face is square, although he is only in his thirties, he is already slightly majestic, although he is not a handsome type, but this majesty also has a strong attraction for women.

It's just that the lips of young people are slightly thinner than those of middle-aged people, and their eyebrows are also a little thinner.

What Du Cheng is learning now can be said to be three teachings and nine streams, basically all of which are involved, and he still knows a little bit about looks.

After glancing at the young man's appearance, Du Cheng turned his gaze to the back of the young man's head, and his expression was slightly pensive.

"The internal annihilation must be investigated, within three days, we must find out the internal annihilation, and then deal with the affairs of the Li family."

The old man finally made a decision, but it was already past two o'clock in the morning, and it was obvious that they had been talking here for a long time.

Immediately, the three of them briefly said something else, and the middle-aged man and the young man left together, leaving only the old man alone.

The old man was not in a hurry to leave, he seemed to be thinking about something, and after a long time, he stood up and walked towards the back of the hall.

Obviously, this annex is the old man's residence.

Du Cheng has no intention of leaving, he has been looking for the residence of the clan master, with the important surname of the family tree, it is very likely that it is hidden in the building where the clan master is located, and it can be seen from the conversation between the three of them that this old man should be the head of the Liu family.

Even if this is the building of the head of the Liu family, he Du Cheng naturally won't have to waste any more time, if he finds out the genealogy of the Liu family from here, he may have to return without function.

Therefore, waiting for the old man to retreat to the back of the hall, Du Cheng walked out of the shadows and appeared in the hall on the second floor of the building like a ghost.

There are two and a half floors in the building, and Du Cheng didn't think about it at all on the first floor, because valuable things could not be placed on the first floor, so the second floor and the upper half floor would be the main places for him to search on this trip.

After searching for more than a dozen houses before, he was already very proficient in this way.

With his hearing fully unfolded, and his steps as light as possible, his body, like a ghost, walked towards the living room at the back of the hall.

The area of the building is quite large, in addition to the hall full of antiques, there are three rooms at the back, two bedrooms and a study, in the shape of a zigzag, and in the middle, there is a small living room.

The old man did not go back to the room, but went to the study, and the lights in the two bedrooms were turned off at the moment, either the people inside were already asleep, or they were empty.

In this case, Du Cheng naturally didn't think much about it, and walked directly towards one of the two bedrooms.

The door of the room opened gently, and the night was a little dark, but with Du Cheng's eyesight, he could see the situation inside clearly.

It was a vacant room, with all the beds and furniture, but the bed was bare, and there was no bedding, so it was clear that no one was sleeping.

Du Cheng quickly glanced around, and after seeing that there was nothing to search in this bedroom, he didn't stay or leave the room directly.

Immediately, his goal was to lock directly onto the other room.

That room was obviously the old man's bedroom, or maybe the Liu family's genealogy was hidden in that bedroom.

Du Cheng's movements were very careful, he was worried that there were people in the room, and if there were, it would be very detrimental to his search.

However, when he opened the door very carefully, he found that the whole room was empty.

And the furnishings inside are also very simple, which makes Du Cheng have an illusion, that is, whether this room is the bedroom of the head of the dignified Liu family.

Du Cheng's suspicion was only for a moment, and when his eyes looked at a photo on the wall in front of him, he knew that this room must be the old man's room.

It was a wedding photo, the young man on the photo and the old man were very similar, it should be the photo of the old man when he was young, and the other one in the photo was a very beautiful woman, judging from the layout of the room, this woman may have passed away.

After Du Cheng quickly glanced at the situation in the room, he directly dodged in, and then began to look for it.

There are not many things in the room, and Du Cheng is still very quick to find it, but Du Cheng has searched for the place where he should be looking, but he can't find the existence of the family tree.

In the end, Du Cheng's gaze directly locked on a safe in the corner of the room.

This is a kind of mechanical password safe, but also need fingerprint authentication and key to open, is a kind of secret surname very, very powerful safe, as long as these three links have any mistakes, the safe will send out an alarm sound, to remind the owner of the safe.

For others, I am afraid that they can only sigh when they see this kind of safe, but Du Cheng is different, he is at least fifty percent sure that this safe can be opened.

For the first time, Du Cheng had already walked directly towards the safe, and stretched out his hand towards the mechanical switch.

The fingerprint authentication system is useful for others, but it is useless for Du Cheng, with Xin'er, Du Cheng can simulate any fingerprint.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is the mechanical code and key.

Compared with the electronic password, the mechanical password is still very reliable, and the electronic password can be cracked with a password cracker, but the mechanical password, unless it is destroyed, can only be opened if the password is known.

Du Cheng didn't rush to open it, because at this time, Xin'er's holographic virtual figure suddenly appeared beside him, and then, a faint red light flashed out from Xin'er's eyes and landed on the ten password buttons.

Under the red light, there were five buttons on the password button, and fingerprints gradually floated on them, and one of the keys had more fingerprints than the other four.

Just looking at this scene, Du Cheng knew the dense combination of numbers.

The lockbox is a six-digit password, and one of them is a duplicate.

"Xin'er, we only have three chances, can you combine them?"

Du Cheng secretly asked Xin'er beside him in his heart, this combination, Xin'er's simulation ability is undoubtedly much stronger than him.

Xin'er paused for nearly a second, and then responded: "You can combine, but the success rate will not exceed fifty percent, Du Cheng, are you sure you want to try?" ”

Du Cheng didn't hesitate anything, in terms of this kind of thing, he was not the kind of hesitant, so he said directly: "Try it, it's a big deal to come back later." ”

Xin'er's speed was very fast, and Du Cheng's voice fell, and she had already combined three sets of passwords and appeared in front of Du Cheng's eyes.

Du Cheng directly stretched out his other hand and began to enter the password on the button.

The slight sound of keys sounded in the quiet room, and after the first set of passwords had been entered, the safe did not respond.

The same is true for the second set of passwords, and Du Cheng's chance is only one last time.

Du Cheng was still like that, and he didn't hesitate anything, and directly stretched out his hand and began to enter the third password.

- There was a soft sound, and at the same time as the third password was entered, a mechanical sound sounded in the safe, but the safe was not opened because of this, and Du Cheng still needed to do the last step before he could open the safe, that is, with a key.

Of course, Du Cheng can't have the key to this safe, but with his Du Cheng's current unlocking skills, this third level is not at all difficult.

He took out a silver needle directly from his waist, forcibly folded a shape with his hand, and deftly opened the door of the safe.

If it were an ordinary person, seeing the contents of this safe, he would definitely be stunned over there.

Money, a lot of money, as well as all kinds of diamond jewelry, etc., and even a few checks that have been written, but Du Cheng was disappointed, these things are nothing at all in his eyes, and the things he needs are not in it.

"Impossible, the patriarch of a family, how could he have these things in his safe?"

Du Cheng obviously said in disbelief in his heart, ordinary thieves and thieves naturally don't suspect anything when they see these things, but he, Du Cheng, is different.

It seems to be very valuable, but it is all related to money, except for money, there is nothing important at all, such as some confidential things of the Liu family, or various contracts that should appear in it, etc., there is no one.

"Xin'er, help me simulate a three-dimensional drawing of this building."

For the first time, Du Cheng had already instructed Xin'er.

Even if there is nothing in this safe, then there is only one possibility, there must be a dark room in this building.

"Okay."

Xin'er responded, and then very quickly presented the three-dimensional graphics of the entire building in front of Du Cheng's eyes.

However, Xin'er is not omnipotent, she can only simulate it from Du Cheng's perspective, and he can't simulate it from places he hasn't been to.

Fortunately, these are enough for Du Cheng, although he didn't go to the study, but with Du Cheng's own sense of space, coupled with Xin'er's simulation, he is almost certain that there must be a dark room between this bedroom and the study next to it.

It's just that just when Du Cheng was about to look for the dark room switch, there was a sound of opening the door outside the door, and it should be that the old man had left the study.

In this case, Du Cheng naturally couldn't look for it anymore, his figure flashed, he directly opened the window and quickly climbed out, but he didn't leave immediately, or the old man would open the dark room after returning to the room, so he didn't need to look for it.

Du Cheng climbed out of the window, and the old man pushed the door and walked in.

The old man first hung his coat on the hanger beside him, and then he sat down directly on the edge of the bed, and reached out and took out a picture from the cabinet next to the bed.

Although the photo is well preserved, there is some yellowing, apparently some years.

The old man just looked at the photo quietly, and his face was a little gloomy.

Du Cheng was outside the window next to the bed, from the window, he could see the photo in the old man's hand very clearly, but when his eyes fell on the photo, he was directly stunned.
