Chapter 126: The Box and the Manuscript
When Shi Guang heard that the manuscript had been found, he was immediately surprised, threw down the waist card and embroidered spring knife in his hand and ran over, and sure enough, he saw that one of the open boxes was full of manuscripts, among which the manuscript on the left had three big characters written on it, and on the right was written an unfamiliar title - "Golden Vase Plum".
Shi Guang stretched out his hand and flipped through it, and found that the content of the golden bottle plum was completely different from the Journey to the West on the market, which made him finally put his mind at ease, turned his head and instructed his subordinates beside him: "Brothers, we have found something, and then everyone will wait to be promoted and make a fortune, ha~"
Shi Guang said that after the most reluctant, he couldn't help but laugh proudly, his subordinates were also very excited, this time they were ordered by Gonggong Liu, and now they can complete the task, and then they will definitely be rewarded, although the main credit must be Shi Baihu's, but the oil and water leaked are enough for them to squander for a while.
After the excitement, Shi Guang immediately asked people to take away all the manuscripts in the box, even Journey to the West is no exception, although he doesn't read much, but he also knows that the original manuscripts of some books are very valuable, especially now that Journey to the West is so popular, if he doesn't want it, he can also take out the manuscript and sell it for a lot of money.
But at this moment, the brocade guard who found it with an embroidered spring knife suddenly spoke: "My lord, do you want to take the contents of this box away?" ”
At this time, Shi Guang looked at the embroidered spring knife and waist card in the box, as well as the valuable longevity lock, and his face also showed a thoughtful look. The whereabouts of those people in Wushan have always been secretive, and no one knows what they are usually doing, especially with the identity of Wu Shan. turned into a butcher and lived in the Zhou Mansion. It's just too weird. Could it be that his mission has something to do with the contents of this box in front of him?
Thinking of this, Shi Guang was also in good spirits, although he didn't know why Wu Shan hadn't taken things away after staying in the Zhou Mansion for so long, but these few things that appeared in the Zhou Mansion were too weird, although the Jinyi Guard had ups and downs over the years, the organization was still very tight, and the embroidered spring knife in the box was gone, but the waist card was a voucher for entering the palace. It's absolutely impossible to spread it casually!
"This box will also be taken away, and it will be handed over to Commander Shi when the time comes, and maybe there will be an additional reward!" Shi Guang finally made up his mind. Qian Ning behind Wu Shan relied on the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, and never put the two commanders in his eyes, and even threatened many times that the position of the commander should be his, which made the two conductors both shocked and angry, and now they can destroy Wu Shan's task, and the two conductors don't know how Lu Dao will reward themselves?
However, as soon as Shi Guang's words fell, he suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the window and smiled: "The things in the box don't worry about Shi Baihu, it's better to leave them to Wu!" ”
The voice outside the window just fell. saw Wu Shan walking in from outside the door with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he secretly shouted luck in his heart. Fortunately, he was worried that Shi Guang and these people were rummaging things, so he came to take a look at it when he was not at ease, but it turned out that he had such an unexpected discovery, if he knew that this thing was in the Zhou Mansion, where did he have to wait until today?
Seeing Wu Shan come in, Shi Guang's face suddenly became ugly, and at the same time, he said in a calm tone: "The surname Wu, don't deceive people too much, the things are obviously discovered by us first, so naturally we will take them away, don't think that with Qian Ning's power, you can bully our brothers!" ”
As soon as Shi Guang's words came out, his subordinates all showed indignation, holding the hilt of the knife one by one, eager to immediately chop Wu Shan to pieces. Qian Ning's gang relied on the favor of His Majesty, and never took other brocade guards in their eyes, but now seeing that Wu Shan wanted to snatch the credit from them, they naturally shared the same hatred.
In the face of this group of angry colleagues, Wu Shan raised his hand for a long time, and then took out a golden token from his arms, and said with a whole face: "Your Majesty has given the token here, Shi Baihu listens to the order, put down the box, if you dare to disobey, you will be punished!" ”
Seeing the token that Wu Shan took out, all the Jinyi guards trembled, and the reason why Qian Ning's people were able to fly among the Jinyi guards was mainly because the other party carried a royal token on his body when he was on a mission, and this token could mobilize all the Jinyi guards, even if it was a high position, they had to obey the dispatch of the person holding the token.
I saw that the expression on Shi Guang's face was uncertain, for the things in the box, Wu Shan even took out the imperial token, obviously the things in this box were very important to him, such an important thing, if he could take it back and give it to the commander Shi, he would definitely be able to exchange it for a rich reward.
However, Shi Guang was not carried away by the rich reward, Wu Shan had already said it clearly just now, if he dared to disobey, he would be punished! Note that "Zhu" is not "killing", one is the Zhulian family, and the other is only killing one person, which has an essential difference. Although Shi Guangzhi handed over the box, the boss would definitely find a way to protect himself, but Wu Shan and Qian Ning were even more difficult to provoke, if the matter was stabbed to His Majesty, I am afraid that no one would be able to protect him.
Thinking of this, Shi Guang finally weighed the pros and cons, and finally had to sigh, and then glared at Wu Shan fiercely and said, "Put the box down, let's go!" ”
After Shi Guang finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of Zhou Chong's room, although his subordinates were also very unwilling, but they didn't dare to take Wu Shan what to do, don't look at the only one person in Wu Shan now, but the other party has a hundred households, how can it be alone in Songjiang, God knows how many people are still in the vicinity of Zhou Mansion in Ludao, so they had to put down the box at the least, and only carried the box where the manuscript was placed and followed Shi Guang out of the courtyard.
After Shi Guang's people left, Wu Shan immediately walked quickly to the box, stretched out his hand to open it and took a look, only to find that the contents were really the target that his people had been searching for, which made him ecstatic, only to see him hold the box in his arms, and then quickly return to his residence.
After a while, I saw a pale red firework suddenly rise in Wu Shan's residence, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark sky, and with the rise of this firework, soon there were one after another black-clothed people in all corners of Songjiang Mansion, and these people all began to gather around the Zhou Mansion, and an hour later, these people finally all rushed to the courtyard where Wu Shan lived in the Zhou Mansion, and then saluted Wu Shan who was holding the box and said: "See the Lord of the Hundred Households!" ”
"Excuse me!" Wu Shan nodded and said, although the gathering time of an hour is a little longer, these subordinates of his are all scattered in all corners of the city, and it will take a lot of time just to rush over.
"This time I called everyone to come because the person we have been looking for for many years finally has an eyebrow, and in this box in my hand is the thing that disappeared from the Thousand Households Wang Hai, which also proves that my suspicion was correct at the beginning, now you only need to escort the things back to Lord Qian, as for the next task, Lord Qian will naturally have other arrangements at that time!" Wu Shan said as he handed the box in his hand to one of his henchmen, and at the same time told him again to be careful on the road.
"Aren't you going back with us this time?" At this time, another Wu Shan's henchman asked, they only knew that their task was to find someone, but as for who this person was? What is the identity? But he didn't know anything, he usually only knew that Lu Dao acted according to Wu Shan's orders, and only a high-level like Wu Shan knew the truth about Lu Dao's entire mission.
"No, I can't go back yet, I still need to continue to guard here, you just take your things back and resume your life, but I estimate that you won't be idle for a few days, and soon Lord Qian will have a new mission." Wu Shan said with a serious face, he knew the truth of the entire mission, and he knew the huge impact of the matter, so he would never be able to leave until the moment when he really completed the task.
Hearing Wu Shan say this, these subordinates of his stopped talking nonsense, picked up the box and saluted Wu Shan, and immediately led people out of the Zhou Mansion, prepared the horses overnight, and then used the brand of Jinyiwei to open the city gate, and flew away in the direction of Beijing City.
A few days later, the theft of Zhou's house was finally discovered by the guards at home, and then quickly sent someone to Shuangyu Island to report the news, when Zhou Chong learned that the rest of the house was not stolen, but it was the theft of the yard where he lived, which also made his heart shocked, and hurriedly told Wangcai where he hid the box, and soon Wangcai returned, not only the box was lost, but also a large box under Zhouzhong's bed.
Although Zhou Zhongzhong had been prepared, but when he heard that the box was really gone, he still regretted it, he knew that Lu Dao should have brought those things with him at the beginning, this is good, the property in the house is not less at all, but the inconspicuous box is missing, and now the fool knows that the other party must be coming for the box, and it is likely to be the hand of those brocade guards.
In addition, what Zhou Chong couldn't understand was that those brocade guards took the box and forgot it, but why did they even take the box under his bed, the box was used by him to hold the manuscript, although the manuscript of Journey to the West is worth a lot of money, but the volume of the box is quite a lot, and the other party took so much effort to move the box, which is really a bit unreasonable.
Just when Zhou Zhong was distressed by the loss of the box, suddenly there was worse news coming, that is, Wang Lun, who had been delaying time, finally couldn't drag it anymore, under the pressure of Liu Jin, the court finally issued a holy decree to arrest Wang Lun, and now Wang Lun has been detained in the prison of Songjiang Mansion, just waiting for the people sent by the court to escort him, and I heard that this time it was Jinyiwei himself to escort, and then he was directly sent to the edict of the Zhenfu Division, where it was a man-eating demon cave, and the prisoners who entered it have always died for life. Very few people make it out of it alive. (To be continued......)
