Chapter 353: An Unexpected Discovery
Fu Ruolan's pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart was pounding, as if it was about to overflow her chest.
"Ruolan?" Sensing that something was wrong with Fu Ruolan, Fu Ruoxing asked puzzled, looking at her worriedly.
Fu Ruolan shook her head, suppressed her emotions, looked at Fu Ruoxing, and speculated, "Could it be that the assassin just wants to prove something?" ”
"Proof? What does he want to prove? Fu Ruoxing raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
In broad daylight, the Fu Mansion not only caught fire in its treasury, but also entered the assassins, and even more excessively, it did not catch who the assassins were.
After guarding the study with Fu Ruoxing for a while, Fu Ruolan felt that the assassin probably wouldn't come again.
I am very concerned about the treasury in my heart, and after such a long time, the fire should be extinguished, but I don't know how it was burned.
Perhaps some evidence will be left at the scene......
Treasury.
The fire had been extinguished, but the traces of the fire were still clearly visible, and the treasury was in ruins, with a smell of burnt fire everywhere and a slight smoke in the air.
Fu Ruolan covered her nose and accidentally inhaled the smell and coughed a few times.
Jingyun walked behind her and reminded, "Miss be careful, these fumes are poisonous. ”
Fu Ruolan nodded, signaling that she knew.
Fu Zhennan and the others had already left here, and only a few people were still groping for something in the ruins, Fu Ruolan glanced at them in surprise and asked out loud, "What are you doing?" ”
"Second Miss." An old man shouted respectfully and said slowly, "Master, let's stay and see if there is anything left." ”
"What do you see?" Fu Ruolan asked again.
Since Fu Zhennan asked them to stay, she didn't know what to say, but asked out of curiosity.
The old man shook his head, "The fire will burn everything it can." ”
Fu Ruolan raised her eyebrows slightly, "There is gold and silver in the treasury, these things don't seem to be able to burn, right?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he was frightened by Fu Ruolan's words, and hurriedly said: "Second Miss, we really didn't find any gold and silver, Second Miss Mingjian." ”
"I'm just reminding you, keep looking, as long as you haven't been stolen, you'll always find it." Fu Ruolan said lightly, glancing at the old woman slightly.
Seeing Fu Ruolan say this, Jingyun remembered something, patted her brain, and hurriedly said, "Miss, the slave maid seemed to see something shiny, and she kicked it away when she thought it wasn't important." ”
"Where did you see that?" Fu Ruolan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
Glittering something, is it gold?
But Jingyun can't even recognize gold?
Jingyun pointed to a place, "It seems to be there, the slave doesn't remember so much." ”
Fu Ruolan shouted to a few people beside the old woman: "Quick, you guys come here and see if you can find anything." ”
Several slaves and maids came over in response, picked up the sticks in their hands and groped carefully in the place pointed by Fu Ruolan, and after a while, they saw a shining thing.
"Second Miss, I found it!"
"Open it and take a look." Fu Ruolan commanded, her eyes staring straight at the box they were holding.
It's really strange that this box has gone through such a fire, and not only has it not been burned, but it has become shiny.
"No."
A slave picked up the box, carried it to Fu Ruolan, looked at the big lock on it, and tried her best to unscrew it, but in the end, she tried all the methods to no avail.
"Second Miss, this lock is too strong to open." Cold sweat broke out on the slave's forehead and replied.
Fu Ruolan twisted her brows, and she also saw the clue of this lock, and ordered: "Carry it to the front hall and let the general take a look." ”
After that, she didn't linger anymore, and took Jingyun to the front hall.
Only this one chest was found in the ruins, and I am afraid that the most important things are in the box.
Fu Ruolan approached the box and found that the box was covered with a layer of tin foil, no wonder it was not burned.
However, there shouldn't be much fire touched by the box, otherwise even if it was wrapped in tin foil, it wouldn't be so well protected.
Several big figures of the Fu family gathered in the front hall to discuss important matters at this moment, Fu Zhennan glanced at the others, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What about Ruolan?" ”
Fu Ruoxing also glanced around, and found that there was no Fu Ruolan, and suddenly remembered that she had gone to the treasury just now, "Dad, Ruolan just went to the treasury." ”
"What is she going to do in the treasury?" Fu Zhennan's brows furrowed even deeper.
Fu Ruoxing was about to answer, but Fu Ruolan walked in from outside with Jingyun and an unfamiliar slave.
Fu Ruolan glanced at the slave and maid holding the box behind her, and said respectfully to Fu Zhennan: "Dad, I just found this box in the ruins. ”
Fu Zhennan's eyebrows jumped, and he walked over with doubts, and when he saw the familiar box, he was overjoyed, took the box from the slave's hand, and asked lightly: "You dug it out of the ruins?" ”
"They found it in the ruins, and I thought it was a little strange, so I brought it here." Fu Ruolan looked at Fu Zhennan, remembered the matter of the lock, and reminded: "This lock can't be opened, as if a layer of spell has been added." ”
Fu Zhennan nodded and explained: "I put this box in before, but I didn't expect it to be kept." ”
Fu Ruolan was taken aback and looked at him puzzled, "Dad, what's in here?" ”
Fu Zhennan's eyes sank, glanced around, and said lightly: "Some important things, it's inconvenient to bring them up." ”
Hearing this, Fu Ruolan didn't ask any more questions, and closed her mouth when she was aware of current affairs.
Fu Zhennan handed the box to the housekeeper and walked in front of everyone.
Fu Ruolan glanced at Fu Ruolin and saw Fu Ruolin kneeling on the ground, her eyebrows crossed in confusion.
"Everyone should know that today's incident is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Fu Zhennan said in a deep voice, his face was serious, and his tone revealed regret and distress.
When everyone heard this, they felt very bad in their hearts, and the treasury was burned, which undoubtedly cut off the financial route.
No one wants to see this happen.
But everyone tacitly agreed at the moment that the accident was a natural disaster, and did not blame the arsonist for the fault.
"Ruolin." Fu Zhennan suddenly looked at Fu Ruolin who was kneeling on the ground, and said solemnly: "You have made such a serious mistake, have you ever thought about how to make up for it?" ”
Fu Ruolin raised her head, her little face was full of tears, tears flowed down her face, and her voice choked up: "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my ...... this time."
When Fu Ruolan saw it, she couldn't help but feel distressed, but the doubts in her heart deepened.
After all, Fu Ruolin is still a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, and when she encounters this kind of thing, it is inevitable to blame herself and cry.
It's just that what puzzled her was that she didn't ask Fu Ruolin to take Wu Chuchu out of the mansion to play in the city today? How could it burn the treasury of the Fu Mansion?
