How is this possible?

She saw with her own eyes that the fourth elder of the Jinlan Society took away the entire iron box!

Lan Ning was puzzled, seeing Xiao Gu's mysterious smile but not speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, "Could it be that the one in his hand is just fake?" ”

She remembered the whole thrilling process, and only felt confused, "How did you manage to drop the bag and change hands?" ”

Xiao Gu winked at her, "You might as well think about it, when is something not in front of you?" ”

Lan Ning thought in her heart: from the digging out of the box to the two people forcing it to hand it over, the two sides clashed, and she threw the iron box into the well after the last moment......

In the well!

She instantly seemed to think of something, and her eyes widened, "Could it be that this well is there?" ”

She leaned over to the small ancient bed and asked in a mysterious whisper, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Gu lay down leisurely and said softly: "That's because at the bottom of the well, there is another identical iron box. ”

"Huh?"

A soft and pleasant voice continued to come from the bed stained with medicinal incense, "Actually, there are several of the same iron boxes in Mrs. Zhang's dowry, all of which are of the best black iron and Fusang style, and according to my conclusion, they should be imported products bought back from Quanzhou Port." ”

Zhang's maiden family is a famous family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he likes styles from the south and even overseas.

"I took an iron box and tied it with a rope and fell to the bottom of the well, so that I could make some rust spots look inconspicuous, so that I could take it back and hide those silver ticket title deeds for Miss Ruyao—after all, Mrs. Tai and the second room were both looking at the good things in her hands, and we had discussed before that we would transfer these things out of the city first, and the province would be calculated."

Xiao Gu's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he seemed to smile and said, "What is in that iron box is just a heavy blue brick." But I didn't expect another group of people to come so soon. ”

"So I had an idea, and I asked you to throw the box into the well - the fourth brother was moving goods at the dock, and the water quality was not bad. Of course, this did not bother him, but when he went down the well, he got another one that must have been filled with bricks. ”

"There are two identical iron chests at the bottom of the well, how can you be sure that he took the one containing the bricks?"

"That's because there is silt at the bottom of the well, and it is very thick and soft, and I put the bricks on a rope and slowly put them down, and they float steadily on the surface of the silt; But the second iron box was thrown down by you, it must have fallen into the mud, it was difficult to see clearly for a while, and the fourth brother was anxious. Hurriedly searching at the bottom of the well, the most likely thing to get is the one that is more conspicuously floating on it. ”

Xiao Gu finished speaking in one breath, the reason is very simple, and the timing is also coincidental, but it is an excellent way to cover the eyes.

"Then it's possible that he reached into the mud and touched it deeply, and got the right one?"

Lan Ning was overjoyed after hearing this, but he was a little worried.

Of course, this possibility is not impossible. But I'm only betting on a probability, and the exact outcome depends on God's will. ”

Xiao Gu said leisurely, not in a hurry.

In fact, she was also vaguely curious. Jingyu is in a hurry to snatch this thing, what is his intention? What is in the mysterious wooden box in the iron box?

These mysteries haunted her, and she didn't have to fight hard to get things back—maybe. She also wanted to see, if Jingyu got this thing, what would he do next?

Under the heavy thoughts. She sighed, not in a hurry to go to the well to see what was going on.

At this time, someone gently pulled the door, and Lan Ning immediately answered the door quickly, and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao, please come in." ”

Xiao Yue walked in, caught a glimpse of the delicate body lying flat on the bed and still covered with a quilt, suddenly looked away, took a step back, and asked in a low voice: "How do you feel, is there any discomfort in your chest and abdomen?" ”

"The doctor said that it was just some external injuries that were red and swollen, and it didn't hurt the internal organs, so it was good to recuperate for a while."

Xiao Gu's voice was also very light, and the smile on his lips was a little pale and bleak, but his eyes were crystal clear, and his eyebrows were beautiful.

Xiao Yue vaguely smelled the fragrance of the herbs, slightly cool, but it looked fragrant and fragrant, he couldn't help but take a deep sniff, but found that there was a familiar fragrance.

Where have you smelled it?

The dark incense lingered in the air, like the smell of some wonderful balm, and it seemed to be the cold of the demons haunting the dark box artemisia grass in the dark night.

At this moment, Xiao Yue's mind seemed to have some strange memory, but the auspicious light and feather were not formed.

Feeling that he was in a daze, Lan Ning on the side was puzzled: "Does Young Master Xiao have any other orders?" ”

Xiao Yue woke up like a dream, coughed lightly, and asked, "Is there any loss of objects and utensils?" ”

"Nothing is missing but the box."

Xiao Gu opened his eyes slightly and said.

"There's ...... in there"

"It was left to Miss Ruyao by our first lady, although I don't know what the Dao is, it must be some precious and soft, but it's a pity that it fell into the hands of thieves."

Xiao Gu sighed gloomily, but Xiao Yue felt a sigh in his heart, and a sense of guilt arose spontaneously - for Mrs. Zhang's dowry, the Shen family made such a big fuss, most of which was fueled by his aunt, and now even the masked bandits appeared, Ruyao was alone, and the situation was even more pitiful than that of an orphan girl.

"Have you ever seen the characteristics of a strongman?"

"They are all masked and speak the official dialect of the capital."

Xiao Gu replied in a low voice, but tiredness gradually rose between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, Xiao Yue sighed, got up and said, "You guys have a good rest." ”

He turned around to leave, but somehow, between his snorts, he smelled the secret and strange fragrance, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and when he turned to look, he saw the maid called Xiao Gu yawning, her long hair scattered on the blue and white porcelain pillow, and her eyes closed and she was already dazed.

The calm and tranquil girl in front of her, as well as the thin cotton bedding with lilac flowers, and the slightly drooping bamboo curtains...... is tranquil and tranquil, like a spring breeze and rain urging people to sleep, but somehow, it makes him feel something strange in his heart.

In the dark, the vigilance in his heart sprouted slightly, he frowned, feeling that this idea was nonsense, and turned around and left.

In the quiet room, Xiao Gu listened to his footsteps quietly, and only when he was sure to stay away did he open his eyes with a slight smile, "This Young Master Xiao, his eyes are so sharp, they are really a little scary......

Lan Ning didn't care about talking nonsense with her, and accompanied Xiao Yue and his party to leave, seeing him step out of the door, he ran to the well in a hurry, looked at the rippling water, gritted his teeth ruthlessly, tied a thick rope around his waist, lifted his skirt and slowly climbed down from the wall of the well.

After a long time of tossing, she finally surfaced and shouted to the top: "Hurry up and hang me up." ”

Xiao Gu's face leaned against the mouth of the well, pulled her up in a squeak, and complained in a low voice, "Why are you in a hurry?" What if he goes and returns? ”

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, wait to see which box it is, it's a tanuki or a prince, it's just today!" (To be continued......)
