Chapter 40 Establishment of the Bureau
"The strange thing is that she grows a lot of flowers and plants herself, and I can see that there is one piece that is farther away."
"What's that?" Fanluo asked.
"It is a kind of herb that looks ordinary but is highly poisonous, ground into powder and put into water can be colorless and tasteless, but the amount can also cure some incurable diseases."
"And such a miraculous medicine." Fanluo nodded, thoughtful.
"Lonely and unheard." Jin Su turned his head away from him.
"Even if she had learned poisoning before, an ordinary woman who had already kept to herself, if it wasn't for the cure of any disease, she wouldn't have opened a plot of land to plant poisonous weeds." Bai Qiuchi said.
"If it is said that the third young master is weak in the family, it will not be a terminal illness, right?" Jin Su was puzzled.
"Not necessarily, so be it, Jinxu, you will immediately ask Steward Mo about the situation that Steward Mo has traced, as well as the situation of the third young master." Bai Qiuchi said, "How is Fanluo here? ”
"It's nothing on my side, the third lady has always behaved normally, but Big Brother Bai, this woman knows martial arts and is very scheming, I was almost discovered."
"The Third Lady is indeed shrewd. Fanluo, you have to find a way to get in touch with the third lady and reveal to her that we are going to open the jewelry box tonight, so that she will definitely have to act before this, but it can't make her suspicious. ”
"No problem." Fanluo patted his chest and promised, "But this brocade has to cooperate with me." ”
"Yes, as long as you can help Big Brother Bai." Jin Yu nodded.
A mouthful of "Big Brother Bai" is so close, and Big Brother Bai is so busy, regardless of gains and losses. If it were me...... Fanluo rolled his eyes in his heart.
"Just now I went to the second young master to confirm again, he didn't know that there was such a thing as a jewelry box, he once again admitted that he had a really bad relationship with the eldest lady, and even wanted to kill her when he was impulsive last time, but he emphasized that after talking to me, he figured it out. He felt that he should not cling to these useless things, because there was only one Lan Se Ning in his heart, and the others were irrelevant. He won't do anything stupid anymore, he's going to keep his life for Lancer. ”
"Alas, the second young master is also quite pitiful." Jin Xu held his cheeks and lowered his head and said, "I really hope that the young lady will wake up soon." ”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's it, I'll go and ask Steward Mo, and I'll go to you again." Jin Xu said while walking and complicated.
"When the time comes, we will pretend to discuss the matter of opening the jewelry box and let the third lady hear." Complicated with ideas.
"But we have to deliberately say that half of it is left and half is left, this third lady is fine!" Jin Fu reminded.
"No problem, but how long are you going to ask? Where am I waiting for you? ”
"You don't have to wait, you go and talk to the third lady first."
"Forget it, I'll accompany you to Steward Mo first, I don't want to wait."
"Whatever comes to mind, you can ask."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two came to the account room to find Steward Mo.
"Butler Mo, excuse me, I want to ask you some questions." Jin Xu said.
"No problem." Steward Mo stopped what he was doing.
"I went to the second lady just now, and she said that she asked you to help check one thing before, which is about the third lady."
"Do you mean that the third lady instructed the maid to copy the second lady's clothes?" Steward Mo thought for a while and said, "At that time, the second lady asked me to help investigate this matter, but after knowing that it was the third lady, she said forget it." ”
"That's right, but the second lady also said that you still want to continue to investigate." Jin Xu said.
"That's true, in fact, the old lady suddenly brought the third lady back, and the old lady didn't support it, so I also asked me to help the old man pay more attention. So I still investigated secretly, but I only found out that the third lady caught Ping'er's handle and ordered her to spy on the second lady. After getting these clothes, she didn't do anything after reproducing them. ”
"Sure enough, it was copied." Fanluo punched the palm of his hand and said, "She should be prepared, such as when she was dressed as a big lady." ”
"I see." Steward Mo sighed, "I didn't think about it at the time, so I didn't say it at the time." I wonder what the next step is for the Bai Dao Chief? ”
"I don't know, the master has always been cautious, so I only asked you to strengthen your inspection, and if there is any problem, you must tell us in time." Jin Xu remembered Bai Qiuchi's explanation, and tried not to reveal their plan as much as possible.
"That's no problem, Bai Dao Chang asked us to strengthen the guard of the Ice Pavilion, but there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal."
"You still have to stay on guard, and you can't let up."
"Okay." Steward Mo nodded.
"By the way, we haven't seen the third young master yet, and it is said that he is not in good health?" Fanluo asked.
"Yes, the third young master has been frail and sickly since he was a child, so he has been staying in the room and not having much contact with the outside world."
"Does the third young master usually take any medicine?" Jin Xu asked.
"I don't know about that."
"Can we go directly to the Third Young Master?" Complicated to ask.
"You can go and try it, the third young master usually only sees the two young ladies and his personal maid."
"Thank you, Steward Mo."
"It's okay, you guys go slowly."
"Steward Mo looks so young." After coming out, Fanluo sighed.
"yes, I think so too." Jin Xu thought for a while and said, "It looks about the same age as the second lady, and it should be less than forty years old." ”
"Have you ever seen Master Hu?" Complicated to ask.
"I haven't seen it. He was missing when I came. ”
"This family is really weird." Fan Luo pointed to the distance, "Next, it's time for us to 'visit' the third lady." ”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, according to the plan, Fanluo continued to follow the third lady, but this time he deliberately "showed his feet", so that the third lady found that at this time, Jinxu "just happened" to come and pull him away, looking very anxious as if something was wrong, and it was determined that the third lady followed, and they began to show the strength of the "acting school" again.
"You're so stupid! I almost found out! "Jin Xu looks like he hates iron but not steel.
"Hmph, did you suddenly come out to make trouble?"
"Be quiet." Jin Su glared at him and said.
"Woman, is there anything wrong with you?"
"That's it......" Nishiki winked mysteriously.
"You're talking about the ...... in Big Brother Bai's room," Fan Luo asked.
"Yes, Brother Bai has already thought of a way, and we will open it tonight, so you can go with me to help borrow a few things first......"
"Okay." Fanluo deliberately raised his chin, "Hmph, you still have to rely on me!" ”
"You can do it if you don't go to this woman!" Jin Xu walked forward quickly, and Fanluo hurriedly caught up.
In the distance, the third lady slowly came out of the shadows, looking at the direction they left, and the corners of her mouth were hooked meaningfully.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bai Qiuchi thought about it, if it was really the third lady, according to her character, she shouldn't have to wait until the evening to come, and the matter of the maid Min'er understanding the problem before going to the eldest lady was put on hold for the time being. To put the jewelry box in an inconspicuous place but to be found, he searched the room, and on the treasure chest full of ornaments, he saw a box, he put the fake jewelry box behind the box, and then set up this box, just enough to block the jewelry box, and it appeared unobtrusive.
Then he deliberately went out, leaving the crystal ball, a small prop with a spell cast by Jinxu, on the display table of the table, disguised as an ornament. I cast a spell with this small crystal ball, and I can see the inside even from the outside.
"Brother Bai, did you say she would come?" Jin Xu asked Bai Qiuchi.
"yes, how long are we going to wait here?" Fanluo stretched and asked.
They hid not far from the yard, Bai Qiuchi took the crystal ball and looked at it, there was nothing abnormal, and said, "You also need to be patient when you wait for the rabbit." ”
"Okay." Fan Luo rubbed his eyes and immediately cheered up.
After half an hour, the sun began to turn westward, and finally it came to them.
I saw a small hole appear in the window at the corner of the mouth, and then a cylinder came out, turned in all directions, and retracted again.
"What is this doing?" Fan Luo asked, "I thought there would be some smoke or something." ”
"She should have been observing outside for a while to confirm that I had gone out, and then she entered the yard, but she was still not at ease, and she was just about to confirm the situation in the room." Bai Qiuchi explained.
The three of them stared intently at the crystal ball, and a slender stick reached through the window, easily and deftly opening the window from the outside. In order not to arouse her suspicion, Bai Qiuchi deliberately closed the door and locked the window, which seemed normal.
"Wait a while, the two of you will stay outside, I'll go in first, you take the crystal ball to observe the situation, one person hurries over to help, and the other person sends a signal to Steward Mo."
In order to transmit information in a timely manner in case of emergency, Bai Qiuchi asked Steward Mo to equip everyone on patrol with signal fireworks, and if anyone found that there was a situation around, they could immediately rush over.
"Okay, Brother Bai, be careful." The two agreed.
I saw someone quickly jump into the room through the window and quickly close the window. This person was dressed in a grass-green short fight to facilitate concealment and movement during the day, and his face was covered, but judging from his figure, he was indeed a woman. She was very cautious, first looked around the room, and decided to start looking for the bookcase.
Bai Qiuchi made a gesture, and then took the lead in performing light skills and quietly flew into the courtyard, and Jin Xu and Fanluo also got closer, continuing to observe the image in the crystal ball.
"Your baby still has some effect." Fanluo said.
"Shut up." Jin Fu stared straight at the crystal ball, for fear of missing a little detail.
"It's rare for me to compliment you." Fanluo crooked his mouth.
"There's no need, be careful." Jin Su is too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
Bai Qiuchi was indeed very skillful in hiding, and after looking for it but still couldn't find it, suddenly she raised her eyes and glanced at the vertical mahogany box that caught her attention.
She reached over and carefully removed the box, and found the jewelry case, which could be seen through the crystal ball as if she was relieved and ready to turn away.
"The third lady came to pick up the jewelry box in person, and the poor road was not welcomed." Bai Qiuchi's voice came.
