Chapter 210: Treasure Hunt

After saying this, just as the sound of bells and drums stopped, and even the people around them held their breath.

Guangsheng's style of speaking is always so bold and presumptuous, and the new Dongchang Governor An Su did not react slowly, knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave is fiercely loyal to the emperor——"

His words were simply interrupted by Guangsheng, "Ji Gang said the same thing back then. ”

An Su's knees weakened, and he suddenly had nothing to say - Ji Gang, as the emperor's personal soldier, rushed to kill the guards in thousands of troops, and he must have been loyal.

"All human beings are fickle, and they have unique power, and they are prone to selfishness and greed, except for the sages."

After Guangsheng finished speaking, he raised his head and made a categorical promise: "If the Holy Lord is relieved to hand over the Jinyi Guard to me, I will definitely investigate this case!" ”

As if intimidated by his courage, Zhu Di squinted his eyes slightly, looked at him for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you know that Lu Dao, what I don't like the most is people who are exaggerated and have low eyes. ”

He looked at Guangsheng's eyes like stars twinkling without the slightest fear, and coldly ordered: "According to what you play, Jinyiwei will be handed over to you, this case will be investigated by the two of you separately, within a month, I hope to see the result!" ”

After speaking, the sleeves of his robe flicked up, and the people around him also retreated like a tide, leaving only Guangsheng and An Su looking at each other, each other's eyes flashing with edge.

"Lord Factory, I'm glad to meet you!"

Guangsheng smiled slightly, like a spring flower blooming, and it looked even more peerless.

He stood up and patted the non-existent dust on the hem of his robe, "For a month, we'll be waiting for each other's good news." ”

After speaking, Shi Shiran left, leaving only An Su's face cloudy and uncertain, and he stood up for a long time. But because of the anger, one stumbled and almost fell, and his henchmen came to help, but he was pushed away, "Go and prepare the horse, I'm going to visit Xue Gongzi." ”

"Xue Gongzi has recently moved."

The little yellow door said in horror, but An Su was not surprised, "He should have moved out of that shabby house a long time ago—where did he go?" ”

Xiao Huangmen's eyes flickered, and An Su was about to get angry when he heard him say, "Jining Hou Mansion." ”

"What did you say?!"

Ansu couldn't believe her ears. He stared at Xiao Huangmen, "How could he go to live in the house of this kid surnamed Shen?" ”

"I heard...... He wanted to ask Master Hou's father, Lord Shen, to teach him to try the craft. ”

An Su snorted coldly, "What tricks is he going to play?" ”

Without waiting for Xiao Huangmen to respond, he ordered: "Then you go and invite him to come to our Dongchang Yamen, saying that the governor has something important to discuss!" ”

As the sun rises, the countryside is covered with greenery, and golden flickers of light are cast on people's faces through the fine cracks of the leaves. Slightly bring the heat of early summer.

Xiao Gu and Lan Ning worked hard all night, and slept until early in the afternoon, and after eating, she walked around the Zhuangzi and the two courtyards. I didn't let go of every room, and after some searching, there was still no result, but my face was covered with hot sweat and dust, and I stood panting under the thick locust tree to rest.

The sparkle is dazzling. She narrowed her eyes, still distracted, remembering the mysterious wooden box that she couldn't find. I just feel at a loss.

Where is it hidden?

She recalled the scene when Mrs. Zhang moved her precious dowry to the other courtyard: so many gold and jade utensils, antique calligraphy and paintings, were moved into the warehouse, which was very eye-catching, and if the thing was really secretly hidden, it must be near these things, but it was not easy for people to find out.

There is nothing else on this Zhuangzi, only these two courtyards, some simple furnishings, all the production on the Zhuangzi is not kept, one is sent to the Hou Mansion after the autumn, and the rest is exchanged for silver.

Even the accounts are simple and clear, and there is nothing suspicious.

Water tanks, drying yards, warehouses, backyards...... Every place was empty, Xiao Gu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but she still felt intuitively that the wooden box should be hidden here—such a confidential and important object, Mrs. Zhang couldn't and didn't dare to entrust it to others!

Her gaze roamed the courtyard, every subtlety was filtered in her mind, the whole person seemed to be enchanted, Lan Ning under the eaves was secretly anxious, and she didn't dare to come forward to persuade her.

Suddenly, Xiao Gu's eyes stopped on the dirt at his feet - the grass was regularly cleared, and some people watered the locust trees, and from the roots of the trees were inlaid with green bricks with a blessing character, which was different from the habits of local farmers.

She stepped forward and gently stepped on the bricks with her foot, feeling the subtle touch of her toes—whether it was dirt or something else underneath, only in this way.

Finally, five steps away from the root of the tree, the expression on her face changed!

"Is there a shovel?"

As soon as she asked, Lan Ning handed it over, took a handful in her hand, followed her to dig up the green bricks, and began to dig down.

This is the densest shade of the big locust tree, the soil is entangled by dense roots, it is very difficult to dig, the foreheads of the two gradually sweat, at this moment, Xiao Gu only felt the shovel rattle, touched something hard.

Got it!

Xiao Gu felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and Lan Ning also saw it, and cleaned up the covering soil in three or two clicks, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a rusty iron box.

Xiao Gu saw that the keyhole was also seriously rusty, and put an end to the idea of using a hairpin to open the lock, raised the shovel and waved it down, and suddenly the whole box made a loud noise, but the keyhole was unharmed.

"I'm afraid that this key will still fall on Miss Ruyao's body."

Xiao Gu said, and moved the iron box out with Lan Ning, and was about to take a closer look. But I heard a sneer outside the courtyard gate, "The twelfth sister is really smart, and she will gain so soon!" ”

She looked up in shock, but saw two people standing outside the door, one was burly and had a hairpuff on his face, it was Chang Meng Chu, the fourth elder of the Jinlan Society, and the other was a golden hairpin, with skin like snow and frost, it was the third sister Gong Yuchun!

"Twelfth sister, you are hiding here, it is really easy for us to find!"

Gong Yuchun gritted his teeth and sneered, looking at Xiao Gu with eyes that were not like his usual vindictive stares, but bitter hatred.

"I didn't expect you to betray our Jinlanhui and live like this Zhuangzi like this!"

Every word of her seemed to burst out between her teeth.

"I didn't betray the organization, this point, the fourth brother should know in his heart."

Xiao Gu took a deep breath and looked at Chang Mengchu with cold and no anger in his eyes—she had already seen that he was the black-clothed masked man who raided that night!

"Hmph, the eldest brother has already discovered the evidence that your father betrayed the secrets of the court and took refuge in the Yan thief, do you still want to quibble?!"

Gong Yuchun remembered that the defeat of Emperor Jianwen's army was all due to Xiao Gu's father Hu Run, and couldn't help but think of his father who died in battle, and his brother who was chopped into meat sauce on the Golden Palace - he had just been admitted to the martial arts champion, but because he refused to be a thief, he died on the spot!
