Chapter 21 Sending the Jade Key
"Bang!"
At the door of Qin's room, a brand-new glass cup was smashed like this.
"Madam, don't be impatient."
The magpie bent over and picked up the debris on the ground, and the lady had not eaten dinner, and as soon as she came back she sulked in the house. Didn't you hear that all the money to save the son was gathered, why did the lady still get so angry?
"Get out! Get the hell out of here! ”
Qin's face was cold, all the food on the table was knocked over by her, and on the other end, Zhao Haitang stared at the neat silver ticket on the table, and in his heart, he didn't see how happy he was.
"Miss, the little guys who escorted the merchants have all returned home."
Mother Liu held a stack of thick silver tickets in her hand and carefully put them into the Nanmu box. Zhao Haitang nodded slightly, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
"After the father comes back, find a father and send it to the Qin family when the father is there."
Zhao Haitang rubbed her eyebrows, she said the ransom of 10 million taels at the beginning. If the Qin clan didn't want to pay this money, things would be easier, which showed that the Qin clan's deficit over the years would not be very big. But now, just the merchants who have a relationship with the pawnshop in the north of the city can get together 10 million taels, so over the years, the Zhao family's industry, and a few of them are surnamed Zhao, what kind of business are they doing selling dog meat with sheep's heads, can they have such a big benefit? There are too many things to investigate behind this.
"Miss......"
Mother Liu stood aside, looking at Zhao Haitang with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Haitang couldn't help but smile when she looked at her tangled expression.
"What's wrong? There is something to say. ”
"Master Lei Du, I sent someone to the house today and sent a brocade box. The old slave pondered, it shouldn't be a valuable thing, after all, it was fluttering lightly in his hand. ”
Mother Liu took out a finely carved box from her arms, and a small lock was hung in the middle of the box.
"Well, it's okay, just leave it alone."
This box is locked, and she can't open it even if she wants to, but what does Lei Du mean by sending this? Zhao Ziwei was kidnapped, presumably Lei Du already knew, so ......
Zhao Haitang's fingers groped for the small wooden box, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable. Anything that can't be figured out will give her a feeling of unease, and Lei Du is no exception.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the entire general's mansion was silent. Zhao Haitang turned over and over, always haunted by nightmares one after another, all kinds of scenes from his previous life flashed in front of him, looking at the bloody scenes, Zhao Haitang really didn't dare to close his eyes anymore.
Since being reborn, step by step, she has been full of calculations. But regret is regret after all, and that piercing memory is a hurdle that she can't get back from her midnight dream.
Next to the bed, the girl who kept vigil had already slept with drool, and Zhao Haitang wore her hair scattered, aimlessly, walking in the back garden.
Behind him, a figure flashed at some point, and a familiar fragrance hit.
"Shhhh Don't make a sound, huh? ”
At night, the soldiers standing guard in the General's Mansion take turns to change shifts, and this hour is just the time for the change of guards. In order to worry that the gangsters will enter the mansion late at night, the time of the changing of the guard is not fixed, and there are rules and regulations throughout the year, how can this man in black be so familiar with the general's mansion and the arrangements of the soldiers in the mansion?
"What? Changed beds and can't sleep? ”
The man's warm breath spread behind Zhao Haitang's ears, and Zhao Haitang couldn't help but struggle a few times, wanting to hide, but the man's imprisoned arm behind him became tighter and tighter.
"Lei Du! This is the General's Mansion, don't be too presumptuous! ”
Zhao Haitang and Lei Du were hidden behind the big tree on the side, maybe Zhao Haitang didn't recognize Lei Du at first, but when Lei Du tightened his arm again and rubbed the bracelet on his wrist intentionally or unintentionally, Zhao Haitang was very sure in his heart.
"What's wrong with the General's Mansion? Isn't this where I grew up? ”
Lei Du looked at Zhao Haitang and deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, but he didn't worry about anything, so he let go of the hand holding Zhao Haitang, so that she didn't have to talk so much.
"Nowadays, we are different ......"
In the last life, from beginning to end, Zhao Haitang regarded Lei Du as his elder brother, and never had any other thoughts, until the end, seeing Lei Du being implicated in prison by himself, the once handsome son, fell so far. Look in Zhao Haitang's eyes, but it hurts his heart. Since her rebirth, she has been reluctant to think about her relationship with Lei Du, but many questions have sprung up little by little, and she can't help but dodge.
"Oh? What's the difference? Tang'er is talking about it. ”
Lei Du's voice was much higher, he didn't seem to be worried about being discovered, but Zhao Haitang, like a frightened kitten, tiptoed, stretched out his hands, and quickly covered Lei Du's mouth.
Zhao Haitang's action, looking at Lei Du's eyesight, was not happy, but he wanted to amuse her interest for a while. Lei Du wrapped his arm and directly wrapped Zhao Haitang in his arms.
Zhao Haitang leaned back, protecting his chest with both hands, wanting to distance himself from Lei Du. Hmph, this is Lei Du, the gentle and jade-like son in the Shen Mansion before is his perfect disguise.
"Let go, don't let go, be careful, I'm not polite to you!"
Zhao Haitang also showed his extremely sharp little claws, and in his hand, I don't know when there was an extra sharp dagger, the dagger was not unsheathed, but it was also against Lei Du's waist.
"Sure enough, it's an unruly one."
Lei Du squinted his eyes, not angry at all, but he was a little funny in his heart, this short-tempered little girl, so easily, angered her.
"Brother Du, I'm already married."
Zhao Haitang actually didn't feel much angry in her heart, on the contrary, in this life, seeing Lei Du standing in front of her with such flesh and blood, she seemed to feel that she had also gained a kind of redemption in her heart.
"What, Shen Zhi is better than me? Well? ”
Originally, Lei Du just wanted to be funny with Zhao Haitang, but when he heard Zhao Haitang say this, thinking of what Zhao Haitang said in the dark room a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, and the strength in his hand was not only increased a lot. The girl's soft and boneless body was just clinging to Lei Du, and Lei Du couldn't help but stiffen and took a deep breath.
He ...... He's better than you everywhere, at least he won't be so light on me! ”
Although she was a human being in two lives, where did Zhao Haitang suffer such a grievance, even if it was Shen Zhi's reluctant cave candle in her previous life, she didn't feel so ashamed and indignant.
"That's good."
Lei Du's voice was full of suppressed emotions, and the fire in his eyes couldn't tell whether it was anger or something else. Xu is two people are too tight, the brocade box in Zhao Haitang's hand, and the Lei Du's thigh in the diaphragm is a little painful.
"Looks like you're quite a fan of this."
Lei Du let go of Zhao Haitang, and took out the brocade box pinned to Zhao Haitang's waist, and between his eyes, emotions flowed uncertainly.
"Where is there a place where you send things like this, a good box, what are you doing locked up?"
Zhao Haitang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Lei Du was willing to talk well, and she didn't have to find unpleasantness with him.
"So, I'm here to deliver you the key."
The corners of Lei Du's mouth hooked up a playful smile, and he took out a very small golden hairpin from his arms as if he was juggling, the hairpin was delicately carved, and a few delicate and transparent small pearls on it were actually shining with a faint light in this dark night.
"This ......"
Zhao Haitang's eyes lit up, she has seen a lot of gold, silver and jade, but the workmanship is so meticulous, she is still the first time to see it, for a while, I also like it a little, but this box is very small, this hairpin is bigger than this box, how can it be the key?
Lei Du bent his eyebrows, Zhao Haitang's expression, he is too familiar, this little girl has a big heart, she has seen rare and interesting objects since she was a child, it is such a virtue, so many years, it has never changed.
Lei Du twisted the black pearl on the side, and the hairpin bounced open from the middle, and inside, a small and delicate jade key was lying in it so peacefully, which was very magical.
"Ah, it's so deep!"
Zhao Haitang's eyes lit up, he took the key to Xiaoyu, and with a click, the small lock popped open, and inside, a golden toad with a cold light was lying on his stomach with a proud look.
"I know that you like to tinker with bottles and cans, a few days ago, my father went to collect rent outside the city, and I got such a treasure by chance. It is said that it can be used to detoxify. ”
Lei Du saw Zhao Haitang's eyes staring at the box for a moment, he was amused in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed her little head, very doting.
"That'...... I'll just thank Uncle Ray. ”
Zhao Haitang hurriedly took the box and put it in his arms as if he was afraid that Lei Du would regret it.
Lei Du chuckled, when he heard that Zhao Ziwei was kidnapped that day, he was still a little worried, the Lei family has been in the mall for many years, and the Zhao family's industry is still worth a few dollars, and he can still estimate one or two.
But today, the Zhao family's Chamber of Commerce, I heard that in just one day, Zhao Haitang raised the 10 million taels of silver. It's just that this kidnapper ...... I didn't see how she dealt with it.
"Brother Du, I'm ......"
Zhao Haitang saw that Lei Du didn't speak, and somehow, he suddenly remembered the scene when Shen Zhi went to prison in the previous life, and for a while, his heart was very uncomfortable.
"How?"
Lei Du raised his eyebrows, he really took advantage of others, he even called him by name and surname just now, now he has his favorite object, and his attitude towards himself is a little better.
Shen Zhi...... That Shen Wang Ye is not a good person who can be assisted, it is better for you to get out as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Haitang somehow, the ghost made a god to say such a sentence, Lei Du's originally stretched brows couldn't help frowning, what did she mean by this? Seeing that she was in the Shen Mansion and got in her way? Want to keep yourself away from her?
Zhao Haitang saw that Lei Du was silent for a long time, raised his head just to meet his angry eyes, and was stunned, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and stepped back step by step.
