Chapter 429: Thief
Gu Minghan held the statue and pondered for a long time before he figured out the key, maybe it was because these days were too comfortable, and he forgot that there was still a lot of gap between him and his little apprentice.
Gu Minghan put the statue aside and didn't carve it again, just thinking about how to explain it to Li Xiruo, but he didn't expect Li Xiruo to mention it again, which was hastily revealed.
A few days later, the Jiang family was preparing for the funeral, and everyone in the Gu family should go to mourn, and Li Xiruo happened to go to the Jiang family to find other clues, so he went with Gu Minghan.
The Jiang family set up the mourning hall in the center of the hall this time, because Jiang Feng died here, and his soul could only be transcended here.
Wreaths were placed around, white flags were hung outside the door, and the Jiang family, who usually had a domineering spirit, were now all in grief.
When Li Xiruo walked over with Gu Minghan in his arms, he saw Jiang Wancheng standing with Zheng Yao with a tired face, Jiang Zhu was also by his side, Jiang Feng's spirit statue was hanging aside, and there were white chrysanthemums underneath.
And on such an occasion, as the second son of the Jiang family and Jiang Feng's younger brother, Jiang Ling still did not appear, so he left Jiang Wancheng to deal with the mourners in grief.
As soon as Jiang Wancheng raised his eyes, he saw Li Xiruo and Gu Minghan in black formal suits, and the expressions on their faces were even colder than when facing others.
Jiang Wancheng was still worried about this matter, and when he saw the two of them come to condole, he didn't say a word, but Zheng Yao played a round next to him, but the implication was that they should leave quickly after the condolences, don't be angry Jiang Wancheng.
Li Xiruo watched the people coming and going to mourn, Jiang Wancheng's white head suddenly gave birth to a lot, and his body soon couldn't bear it, Zheng Yao helped him upstairs to rest, Li Xiruo said to Gu Minghan: "You watch here first, I'll find out if there are any other clues." ”
Gu Minghan bowed slightly, and before he could ask a few words, someone came up to talk to him, so that he couldn't get out, and Li Xiruo took advantage of the situation and left.
Li Xiruo lived in Jiang's house for a few days, and looked at the map again, how many people in Jiang's family there were, and where they lived, she knew it clearly, she turned around and walked to the room crowded with several servants, and saw them gagging there, and the sad atmosphere in front of them had no effect on them.
In fact, if you think about it, they are just helpers here, and they can't pay any feelings for the people here, not to mention the rich and noble families, and even the family relationship between each other is difficult to maintain, not to mention the servants, who usually don't have a good face, and now that one is dead, the most worrying thing about the servants is whether they will be dismissed.
However, these few didn't seem to be worried about such a thing, and one of them took the jade jade in his hand and said: "I can find someone to identify it, my jadeite, to say the least, is worth this amount." ”
Seeing her make a gesture of "eight", the other two were not to be outdone and took out the treasures on their bodies, one was wearing a jade Buddha, and the other was wearing a gold lock, which seemed to be valuable things.
Li Xiruo looked at it from a distance, the goods on these servants were very similar to the things found on the ceiling before, they were all some gold, silver and jade, things that could be worn on their hands and necks, but if they were hiding there, Li Xi didn't believe that they had this ability, and he couldn't figure out what the meaning of their motives for doing this was.
It's just that who would be so generous and give all these things to the servant.
Several people compared, but in fact, the goods are almost the same, but they just want to compete for who is the most valuable. But seeing that everyone was about the same, he didn't have this thought, and just whispered: "Eh, you say, these things, will anyone look for us to go back." ”
One person clutched his own golden lock: "Why, this thing was originally given to us by Jiang Dashao, although it was borrowed from us to wear temporarily, but it was said that he would be rewarded, and now he has returned to the land, who will pay for this reward?" This gold and jade is our reward. ”
The other two nodded, but they were also confused, when Jiang Feng found them, they felt weird, called them to one place, and divided countless gold and silver for them to wear, but when the time came, they had to return them, and they had to hide these things and prevent others from discovering them, they couldn't figure out what to do.
It's just that they look at Jiang Ling as crazy, and they become a different person when they wear women's clothes, thinking that according to genetics, Jiang Feng must also be stupid, so they took it with the mentality of a fool, although they usually can't show it in Jiang's house, but when it's time for the holidays, they can always wear these to show off outside.
They thought in their hearts that Jiang Feng was dead, and they would make a lot of money by being cheap, but they didn't know that their limit was coming, and the three of them didn't realize that their eyebrows were already black, their eyes were depressed, and there were bruises under their eye sockets.
Li Xiruo wanted to go up to find out, so he watched a person come out of the gatehouse with two jars, and looked at the things that the three people were holding in their hands, his face changed, and he hurriedly put down the jar in his hand, rushed up and grabbed the golden lock, tore off the rope stiffly, and smashed it on the ground like crazy, completely ignoring the call of the person next to him who was injured in the neck.
Li Xiruo looked familiar with it, and thought for a while before remembering that it was this person who served tea and water last time, and she also had a golden chuan in her hand, which was not a bargain when she looked at it, but there was not so much evil on this person's face, and several other people were already about to be devoured by these dark weapons, but they didn't know it.
Chen Zhen stepped on the golden lock hard, but how could the golden jade be destroyed so easily, but was pulled away by several other people, picked up the golden lock and said distressedly: "Chen Zhen, you are sick, if you have the ability to do anything, come to me, if this golden lock is really broken, I want you to go bankrupt." ”
Chen Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Is this your thing, one bite at a time." ”
"You ......"
The man looked at the others, asking them to help him speak.
The two of them had long been unaccustomed to Chen Zhen's style, so they pushed Chen Zhen and said, "Don't get cheap and sell well here, don't you also wear the things Jiang Feng gave?" ”
Chen Zhen took out the broken gold chumb from his bag and threw it on the bodies of several people: "Is this what you said?" ”
The others looked at the ruined Jin Chuzi and thought that Chen Zhen was really crazy, and such a good thing was tossed by the crazy woman.
Chen Zhen said with a serious face: "Take off your things, this thing will really kill people if you wear it on your body." ”
Li Xiruo squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Zhen with sharp eyes.
Of course, those people didn't believe it, but it was the first time they had heard that a person wearing gold and silver would die.
Several people sneered: "Chen Zhen, don't you ruin your own treasure, just come to Xiao to think about us, we don't want to eat you." ”
"That is, don't forget, you saw that we had us at the beginning, and took the initiative to come up and talk to us, if it weren't for us, you would have been able to get these things?"
"Chen Zhen, you can't do this, it should be yours, it's yours."
One person pointed to Chen Zhen's shoulder, forcing her to retreat, she lowered her head, simply didn't care, turned around and hugged the altar, and walked to the basement.
The man said disdainfully behind his back: "I don't know what to do with buying two jars, a few days ago I was thinking about whether she wanted to pickle some pickles, but I knew that pouring water into them was simply sick." ”
Li Xiruo frowned, watched Chen Zhen go down, and went up to stop the three of them: "Hand over the things." ”
The three of them were stunned, not knowing why Li Xiruo was here, but her face was cold, not angry and arrogant, which made them stunned, but they still pretended not to understand: "What, what." ”
Li Xiruo narrowed his eyes: "Old man Jiang already knows about this, let me secretly check who else took things, I thought it would be difficult to search your room without evidence, but who would have thought that the thieves in the blue sky and day could see the light." ”
"What kind of thieves, these are all given to us by Young Master Jiang."
Li Xiruo sneered: "Okay, since that's the case, you can follow me to the mourning hall to face each other and see if Old Man Jiang believes you or not." ”
These few people panicked, no matter what they did, they couldn't stab Jiang Wancheng, if he knew that they had swallowed these things, he would have to skin them alive.
What Jiang Wancheng hates most is people with unclean hands and feet.
One person was already weak-hearted, and now he heard Li Xiruo's threat, and tremblingly handed over his jade Buddha, she made a bird, and the other two did not hand it over, it seemed that they were guilty of one more degree, unforgivable, Li Xiruo took the things on their bodies, and let them out.
She looked at these things and shook her head, these things were brought out of the tomb, accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of yin qi, and became a dark weapon, these little girls were ignorant, thinking that they were the precious jewels worn by those rich wives, but they didn't know that the things taken out of the tomb could not be brought casually, and they needed to be removed by the living before they could be put on, but I was afraid that they were unknowingly becoming other people's scavengers, if Li Xi didn't take them back, these three people would have to finish playing sooner or later.
Li Xiruo saw things put into the cloth bag he carried, stood aside and watched Chen Zhen come out of the basement empty-handed, and then hurried down.
As soon as Li Xiruo entered, he saw that the jar had been stuffed with a lot of things and turned into a stored broken altar, which seemed to be nothing unusual, but Li Xiruo knew that the most inconspicuous things would wake up at a certain moment, turn into a fierce beast, and pounce on others.
Li Xiruo looked carefully around the edge of the altar, and sure enough, even if Chen Zhen brushed it, it still left a little white crystal, and this crystal Li Xiruo had seen before, it was saltpeter.
If she remembers correctly, when she was still in the palace, the craftsman made a great discovery, this saltpeter could be used to make gunpowder and become a new type of weapon, but at that time, when the country was still in peace and security, these were not needed for the time being.
