Chapter 13: Ruthless

At the end of the day's work, Su Lun returned to the small courtyard, lying on the bed tiredly, Xian'er pressed his muscles for him, and said to him softly: "Young master, why have you come back so late these days? ”

"I don't know what they want, but I've been teaching them the rest of the stuff every day these days, and they don't even manage the family business very much. In the past few months, I have basically nothing left to teach them. Su Lun smiled bitterly, "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden." It looks like the Xiao family is going to start doing something to me. ”

"That'...... Then young master, it's okay for you to go away secretly, Xian'er knows that they have been restricting me, and she also knows that the young master will not leave because he is afraid that I will be hurt myself. But...... But Xian'er's cultivation is already very good now, Xian'er has some talents, and the family will definitely pay attention to Xian'er. ”

Su Lun turned over, and Xian'er bit her lip and looked at him with teary eyes.

"Xian'er, you don't know, Xiao Lian is almost the kind of person who will be retribution, if I leave, he can't find someone to vent, he will definitely inflict it on you, and I will definitely not let you be hurt in any way. ”

"Don't worry, I'll discuss countermeasures with Sister Yan tomorrow, and we will definitely be able to escape safely by then." Su Lun gently held Xian'er in his arms, his chin resting on her smooth jade-like forehead, and his eyes flashed with determination.

........................

Early the next morning, Su Lun came to the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce, he came with Xian'er, since all kinds of unusual things in the past few days, Su Lun was afraid that the Xiao family would kidnap Xian'er and threaten him, so he decided to take her with him, saying that he was helping him with his errands, but it did not arouse suspicion.

Seeing Yan Ziyun, Su Lun found that her face was eager, and before she could speak, she had already said hurriedly: "Brother, you are finally here, there was something a few days ago, you listen to it, I feel very strange." ”

Yan Ziyun first told Su Lun some of the news that Li Xinghe had discovered, and then said: "Xiao Lian invited me over two days ago, but he didn't talk about things, nor did he call you, but kept talking nonsense to me, which felt like ...... It's like delaying time! It's just that I don't really understand what he's trying to do. ”

Sure enough, there is a move, and you may have to do it to me. Su Lun thought while listening to what Yan Ziyun said.

The treasure chest left by his father, the family strife of the Yan family, has been teaching more and more frequently recently...... Su Lun opened the "Quantum Intelligence Brain", and this information quickly constructed an icon in Su Lun's mind, on which various information was connected to each other.

He quickly deduced the possibilities, and gradually had some more detailed and bold speculations in his mind. Then he hurriedly withdrew from this state, felt a little weak, sat down in his chair a little weakly, and took a sip of tea.

Yan Ziyun saw Su Lun's face turn pale in just a few seconds, and hurriedly walked up to him and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, brother, why did the state suddenly become so bad?"

"Don't worry, sister, I'm just a little tired these days. Although Su Lun said that he trusted Yan Ziyun very much, he didn't want her to know that he was the biggest secret of the traverser, "Sister, after we talked about these things last time, did my father's treasure chest transfer?"

"Well, I put it in my storage space that day. Yan Ziyun asked curiously, "Could it be that they will take away the treasure chest recently?" ”

"No, I'm sure they've already tried, just a few days ago when you were invited by Xiao Lian to come over, the king must have gone to get it, although I don't know what method he used, but the information revealed by this matter is like this in my speculation. ”

Yan Ziyun's heart sank, although she hadn't investigated yet, she also felt that the reason for such an abnormal thing last time was probably as Su Lun said.

But guessing is speculation, and I still have to check it.

It just so happened that today, the steward Wang went to the next city to hand over the family business, and the two of them didn't have to worry about being discovered by him.

Su Lun followed Yan Ziyun to the staircase on the top floor, where there were two guards.

"See Miss!" the two saluted Yan Ziyun.

Yan Ziyun nodded and asked, "Do the two brothers know who was on duty here three days ago?"

"Miss Hui, it was me and the other two three days ago. ”

"Did the king's steward come that day?"

"The steward did come, but he came with a man in black robes, saying that he was bringing something for the nobleman. The two replied truthfully.

Yan Ziyun frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Did the two of them have something in their hands when they came out?"

"What do you mean...... At that time, the two stewards did not have anything in their hands when they came out, and the two of them were very anxious when they came out, feeling like they had met ...... They were shocked by what they encountered. The guard on the left said with a puzzled look as he recalled.

Su Lun and the others had already believed most of the guess just now, and Yan Ziyun said while pulling Su Lun into the fifth floor: "Uncle's treasure chest was always left in the best protected storage room before I took it, let's go there first." ”

The two of them walked through the passage formed by the talisman seal and came to the door, Yan Ziyun took out her jade pendant and put it into the groove in the center.

With a "click" sound, the heavy door slowly opened.

Yan Ziyun observed carefully, and then pointed to the innermost jade box and said, "This is the place where Uncle Xiao Qing's treasure chest was stored before, and this outer jade box also needs my jade pendant to open." ”

The two walked to the jade box, Yan Ziyun took a closer look and said: "Although he covered up his traces before leaving, he was obviously in a hurry and not careful enough, I can still see that this jade box has definitely been turned." ”

The two confirmed the guess in their hearts, and in order to prevent Steward Wang from coming back early, they didn't stay long and returned to the side hall on the fourth floor.

Sitting on the chair, Yan Ziyun said to herself: "My jade pendant has always been on my body, this jade pendant is specially made by the family, and it can hardly be copied, so the jade pendant of the king steward must not be obtained from me." ”

Then her eyes turned cold: "However, each of our heirs has one, and it is the same, which means that he can use other people's jade pendants to open the storage room here." Then, according to our previous speculation, he took Yan Jiao!"

Just then, there was another knock on the door.
