The corners of Chen Xiaodonkey's eyes jumped.

The two of them didn't enter the box when they met today, but sat in the teahouse hall next to this alley, and many guests looked over here.

Seeing that the little donkey's gaze was not very good, Cao Hou immediately shrank his neck and sat down with a smile, and did not sell it, lowered his voice, and said with a little excitement: "This is the English abbreviation of HSBC!" Maybe this thing has something to do with that, where did you get this from? ”

Shun Nyima eggs! Chen Xiaodonkey glared at the goods again, but turned his head and thought about it, he didn't ask if he was a thief, when he took this nameplate from the monk's mouth the night before, did he ask?

"Are you sure?" he asked. ”

Cao Hou said: "What's uncertain about this, the sign is standing on the gate, it is said that it is still gilded, if you don't believe it, let's go over and see it now?" ”

Chen Xiaodonkey nodded, thinking that HSBC didn't seem to be very far away from here, and he was really curious about how this nameplate had something to do with that foreign bank, so he got up and said, "Then go over and have a look!" ”

The Bund is the most prosperous place in Shanghai, there is no one, Chen Xiaodonkey and Cao Hou brought the cat brother over, and saw the magnificent six-story dome building from a distance, with a British flag on it, and British soldiers standing guard at the door, looking magnificent.

The two of them entered the hall on the first floor from the door, and they were still thinking about whether they should go to the counter to ask someone, and an oriental face in a straight suit greeted them.

I don't know if it's hot to wear it in summer? Chen Xiaodonkey was a little speechless, but this was not the time of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and this tone was popular in Shanghai.

In fact, as soon as Chen Xiaodonkey and Cao Hou came in, the lobby manager noticed them, looking at the poor and sour appearance of the two of them in Tsing Yi, he was too lazy to come up and talk, but he didn't expect that after these two people came in, they stood in the middle of the hall and looked around, afraid that they were not serious and sloppy, so they pinched their noses.

Wait for him to speak English in an authentic London accent, and find that the two people in front of him are full of dogs looking at the stars, and the disdain in their eyes is even heavier. Simply switched to Shanghainese and asked politely, "Are you here to do business or what?" ”

Cao Hou raised his eyebrows and stabbed: "It turned out to be Chinese?" Looking at your bird talk, I was so scared that I thought you couldn't speak human language. ”

No quality! Not a gentleman! Yokel! Bah!

The lobby manager's face stiffened, and he said angrily: "Why are you scolding? ”

"Scolding you? I'm beating you! "The three religions and nine streams of rivers and lakes are rolling, which one is not a human spirit who observes words and feelings? The disdain in the lobby manager's eyes made the fat man a little angry, and he began to roll up his sleeves as he spoke, but he didn't really hit it, after all, this is the territory of foreigners.

Chen Xiaodonkey watched coldly for a moment, stopped Cao Hou, and was a little apprehensive, but he didn't show it, and handed the nameplate to the lobby manager like an uncle, "It's you, right?" ”

"Karma?" The lobby manager, who was about to sneer at each other, suddenly became dumbfounded, took the nameplate in his hand and looked at it, and immediately changed his face after a period of shock, returned his hands, and flattered: "Yes, yes, but I can't handle this matter, the two gentlemen will wait here for a while, and I will immediately call the director." ”

"Whew! This dog-like thing! ”

Watching the lobby manager trot away, Cao Hou let out a 'phew' in confusion, then turned his head to look at Chen Xiaodonkey suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "Little donkey, do you know what that thing is?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Xiaodonkey shook his head.

Cao Hou said strangely: "I don't know if you give that thing to people, and pretend to be such an uncle?" Not afraid to make jokes, or what? ”

Chen Xiaodonkey was also surprised, and said in his heart that we had deceived so many people, and we were afraid of making jokes? But after a second thought, he knew why Cao Hou thought like this, after all, it was a foreigner's place, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Jokes? Are you afraid that your friends will be surprised? ”

"What's the surprise of the friends?"

Chen Xiaodonkey was choked and secretly scolded that he had nothing to do, what kind of burden did he shake with Cao Hou, a goods with no culture? Afraid that friends will be surprised, this is the only magic weapon for Cixi's old demon queen to reprimand the Manchu minions.

But doing this, it was not nonsense to say that he was not nervous at all, he just made a bold guess, but he didn't expect it to be right. Cao Hou said in the teahouse that the nameplate was a key, and the abbreviation of HSBC was engraved on it, and when he took the cashier's check of the Bank of Shanghai given by Li Mingshi some time ago to open the money, because the amount was huge, a supervisor there thought he was a distinguished customer, so he introduced him to the new business of the bank safe deposit box, and also mentioned the key.

Cao Hou was bored, hugged the cat brother and teased, and it didn't take long for the lobby manager to accompany a blonde foreigner, and the foreigner chattered and talked, and the lobby manager acted as a translator very attentively beside him.

The lobby manager said, "The supervisor invites the two gentlemen to go to the VIP room on the second floor." ”

Chen Xiaodonkey nodded indispensably.

Unlike the first floor, the second floor is quiet, and the sofas in the VIP room are all fine leather. As soon as he sat down, the foreigner chattered again.

The lobby manager translated: "The supervisor said that the keys brought by the two gentlemen are relatively old, and it will take some time to find the right slot key, please wait." ”

After a while, an old man from a foreigner entered the house with a box, took out a wide-body copper handle from the box, and took things from Chen Xiaodonkey, and picked them up with a snap.

Chen Xiaodonkey took the things handed over by the other party again, and looked up and down quietly, this brass nameplate will really look like a key, but it looks a little different.

It was confirmed, and the people from the bank took the two of them to the bottom of the vault, but they were stopped, and the other party was a little embarrassed and said that the pet could not be brought in, so Chen Xiaodonkey asked Cao Hou to take the cat brother to wait outside, and followed in alone.

The vault below was brightly lit, and the rows of safes were placed in a large warehouse, and the foreigner and the lobby manager took Chen Xiaodonkey to the last few rows, in front of a safe numbered '1019007', and then retreated to the door with a knowing interest.

Deflated calf, this is too ---- Seeing the two of them leave temporarily, Chen Xiaodonkey breathed a sigh of relief and touched the beads of sweat that did not exist on his head. He was a little shocked all the way over, one was the magnanimity of HSBC, and the other was the nervousness from the darkness, he couldn't have imagined that this thing that he took out of the monk's mouth the night before was connected to such a place behind it!

Looking at the safe in front of him, he rarely hesitated on whether to open it.

If he had encountered this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing a month ago, he Chen Xiaodonkey would have been able to sleep for several days, and the things that could be stored in the bank in a safe should be priceless!

But now, a month later, he has been in trouble, but he is a little worried about whether this windfall will cause him more trouble.

After all, this thing was brought out from that evil place in the True Law Temple!

However, this hesitation did not last long, Chen Xiaodonkey is still the same Chen Xiaodonkey who has a cheap advantage and does not take advantage of the bastard.

"Eighty percent of Lao Tzu is a person who is going to die, and he is still afraid of a ghost?" He muttered fiercely, and opened the safe numbered '1019007' that no one had opened for I don't know how many years.

Pulling the drawer out of it, there was no dust that had been left untended all year round, only a faint smell of rust, Chen Xiaodonkey looked at the things in the drawer, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

What countless cashier's checks, what stacks of small yellow croaker, all of them!

There was only a bell-shaped bell covered with a layer of bronze rust, which was at most half the size of a fist, and an envelope pressed under the bell and sealed with a feather glued by fire paint, and even because the envelope had been placed here for too long, the feathers on the feathers were gone, and only one bone tube was lonely.

"I'm grass!"

Chen Xiaodonkey couldn't help but burst into foul mouth, there was only this thing in the safe, who would have thought that this was the case?

Could it be that ---- cashier's checks are all in that envelope?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiaodonkey suddenly found hope, tossed the bronze bell aside, and couldn't wait to take it out and open it.

"I'm grass!"

In the brightly lit warehouse, he couldn't help but curse again.
