Chapter 382: The Dumb Eats Coptis chinensis
The small door of Yan's house opened, and Cui Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately looked over, only to see a few figures walking towards this side.
As those people approached, the sound of their words came into Cui Hao's ears.
"The eldest lord is really ruthless, the eldest lady has no credit and hard work over the years, so she kicked us out, I mentioned the dowry list, and was slapped by the steward, the old lady and the old lady really looked away......"
"Are you alright, ma'am? Can it hold on? Why don't you wait, I'll ask for a carriage. ”
"Don't beg them," Mrs. Yan said weakly, "let's go to the inn first, whoever it is...... Don't ...... again Step through that door. ”
Hearing this, Cui Hao came out of the shadows: "Big lady, what's going on?" ”
Cui Hao's sudden appearance startled everyone, and the subordinates couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shut up," Mrs. Yan scolded, then looked at Cui Hao, "Let's find a place...... I have something to tell you. ”
Cui Hao nodded.
There is a dilapidated courtyard to the west of Yan's house, which has been uninhabited for a long time, which is just right for talking.
Cui Hao found a lamp to light on, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the injury on Mrs. Yan's face: "How could Mrs. Yan be like this?" ”
"He suspects that I let the four girls go," Mrs. Yan clutched her chest, and finally made her breathing easier, "But it doesn't matter, I was also deliberately provoking him, otherwise how could he go to get those things tonight, and you wouldn't have a chance to snatch them from him." ”
Cui Hao looked at Mrs. Yan with mixed emotions in her eyes.
Mrs. Yan's heart couldn't help sinking: "Silly boy, what are you looking at me like this?" ”
Cui Hao said: "I just feel that I can't repay the kindness of the eldest wife." ”
"Don't get in the way," Mrs. Yan said, "As long as you bring the four girls back, we will leave here, my mother's family still has some savings, enough to set up a house in Northern Xinjiang, and it's all right." ”
Cui Hao responded: "Then I'll wait at the door of Yan's house." ”
"Let's go," Mrs. Yan nodded, "Without the Yan family to guide the way, you can't find out where those things are hidden. ”
Cui Hao nodded and looked at the servant woman of the Yan family: "I'm bothering you to take care of the eldest wife." With that, he turned and walked out the door.
The servant of the Yan family couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect this Cui family master to be so ...... to the fourth young lady In response to the sentence that people should not be good-looking, they look like a rough person, and they can be regarded as sincere at a critical moment. ”
Mrs. Yan looked at Cui Hao's back, but there was no emotion in her eyes, but it was unusual for ordinary people to be calm.
"Let's go!" Mrs. Yan commanded lightly.
The servant woman of the Yan family was stunned: "Why don't we stay here until dawn, where are we going to go at such a time?" ”
"I'll go." Mrs. Yan said coldly.
Leave here far away, and wait until something happens to the Yan family, and the yacha comes to the door, so that she can clear her suspicion.
Mrs. Yan was relaxed, the injuries on her body didn't seem to be so painful, her whole back straightened, and she finally got what she wanted after so many years.
……
It was still dark, and Master Yan took his subordinates up the mountain together, which was the place where the ancestors of the Yan family buried their bones.
Master Yan didn't expect his father to hide such a valuable thing here.
If someone steals and digs up, won't the gain outweigh the loss?
However, large families have such a habit, and it is safest to bury objects under the soil.
"What are you still doing? Dig up and see. ”
Master Yan gave an order, and the Yan family began to move.
At some point, crows fell on the surrounding trees, and the occasional animal chirping in the cemetery made people shiver.
"Master, if someone finds out, what are we going to say?" The steward of the Yan family said in a low voice.
"How?" Master Yan said coldly, "Isn't it enough that our family is dead? I'm here to bury my poor siblings and nephews. ”
The coffin of the ancestor of the Yan family was finally invited out, the lid of the coffin was opened, and the old man Yan sent people away, and took a torch to shine into the coffin, the body inside had long been rotten, and he vaguely saw an inconspicuous jar placed in the corner.
Master Yan jumped into the coffin to get the jar.
"Click" stepped on the bones of the ancestors, Master Yan couldn't care so much, the Yan family had carried huge treasures for many years, like brocade clothes walking at night, and now it was finally time to reveal everything.
Master Yan hugged the jar, couldn't wait to open it and reached out to touch it, and took out a hairpin, he took the torch in his hand and looked carefully, the hairpin was carved from a piece of high-quality jade, the hairpin head was a vivid phoenix, under the light of the torch, the phoenix seemed to come to life.
"The treasure is covered with dust," Master Yan muttered, "what would it look like if it was cleaned." ”
The royal family of the previous dynasty loved jade, and almost all the beautiful jade in the world was scavenged, and the last king was good at carving, and the things he carved out were difficult for even the top craftsmen to reach.
Such a thing will definitely sell for a lot of money.
Master Yan looked too carefully and didn't pay attention to the situation outside, a muffled snort suddenly sounded in his ears, he subconsciously raised his head, and a face came into view in the dark.
The man covered his face with a black cloth, and his eyes were like beasts in the night.
Master Yan was startled, sat in the coffin, and when he remembered to shout, he only felt a pain in his neck, his eyes were black, and he fainted suddenly.
When Master Yan woke up again, the sky was already bright, and there was a commotion in his ears.
"Sir, can you sleep soundly this night?"
The girl's voice came.
Master Yan turned his head along the voice and saw Miss Xu, who was beside Master Han of Jiangyin Zhixian County.
"Master Yan, why are you sleeping in a coffin?"
Master Yan only then remembered what happened last night, he immediately looked down, the clay pot he found was gone, the hosta he was playing with in his hand was gone, and only the rotten ancestral bones accompanied him.
All the treasures he managed to find yesterday were snatched away, and the one who snatched the things was the one who injured him, thinking of this, Lord Yan's heart seemed to be held tightly, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
The sky fell.
The treasures that the Yan family had been guarding for a hundred years were all gone.
"But what happened?" Han Xun had a bit of majesty in his eyes.
Master Yan opened his mouth and couldn't help blurting out: "Lost...... Lost something, there is a thief, there is a thief......"
"What's missing?" Han Xun asked again.
Master Yan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't say that those were all shady things, and he couldn't tell the people of the Yamen, otherwise don't say that those things couldn't be recovered, and the Yan family's lives would be in danger.
In the agitation, Master Yan felt a tightness in his chest, and he almost fainted.
Xu Qinghuan said: "The tomb of the Yan family has been dug up, and Master Yan has fainted here, but I am afraid that there is another hidden secret, and there are still scars on Master Yan's body, so I have to let him check it." ”
"It's okay," Master Yan said busily, "It's just that there have been repeated accidents at home, and I want to move the ancestral grave...... Last night...... I was careless...... Fell on the coffin...... Hence the fainting.
The wound on my face is due to an argument with my family, for which I have abandoned her. ”
"Really? However, I'm afraid that Master Yan has no evidence, and he needs to be carefully verified," Xu Qinghuan said and looked at the messy Yan family's ancestral tomb, "This is worthy of the Yan family's identity." ”
