37. See the old man again
"Alas, the death of this old lady is both a good thing and a bad thing!"
On the way back to the courtyard to change into plain clothes, Tang Mo couldn't help but sigh when he saw no one around.
Mo Jing frowned and nodded gloomily,
"Well, as soon as the old lady dies, although the General's Mansion will definitely not force me to marry Chongxi in three days, but what should I do with this 'red fish'?"
"If the 'Red Fish' is really in the hands of the old lady, I bet Li Jinnian knows 100% about it."
Tang Mo said sideways.
"You mean that without the old lady, we can borrow the 'Red Fish' from Li Shangshu?"
Mo Jing's face finally looked better,
Borrow, borrow, borrow, do you have to say it so nicely? Isn't it stealing? Borrow, can you lend a yarn? Tang Mo was a little disdainful of Mo Jing's words in his heart.
"It works in theory."
Tang Mo nodded, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is the pain of peeling the skin. In his heart, Tang Mo never thought that "Red Fish" would be so easy to steal. The old lady and Li Jinnian are both a family behind closed doors, and judging from their attitude towards Li Qing'er, these two people are not good-hearted masters.
Tang Mo squinted at Mo Jing's back as he hurriedly walked towards the courtyard, and a strange feeling arose inexplicably in his heart. This treasure, which even the former emperor of the Eastern Sen Kingdom was willing to replace with five cities, must be extraordinary. I'm afraid that Luo Yan and Mo Jing may not be willing to return it after they get it, because human nature is always so insatiable.
Back in the courtyard, Mama Lu was gone, and Tang Mo and Mo Jing didn't dwell on this issue, presumably Luo Yan must have dealt with it. The two quickly changed into plain clothes and went to the front hall. By the time Tang Mo and Mo Jing returned to the front hall, the cause of the old lady's death had already spread in the house, and it turned out that the old lady was killed by a group of bandits on the way back to the capital.
An hour later, Li Jinnian hurriedly returned to the mansion with the old lady's body. The wooden butler had already set up the mourning hall. Li Jinnian put the old lady's body into the coffin and placed it, and after a while, dozens of people below knelt on the ground and began to cry.
Just when everyone was crying breathlessly, the servants hurriedly walked in from the gate with two catchers from the yamen.
At this moment, Tang Mo was quietly hiding in a corner by the side door, holding a piece of sesame cake and stuffing it into his mouth, and the corner of his eye casually glanced at the two catchers who had just come in.
"He, he,"
The sesame cake was stuck in his throat, Tang Mo patted his neck excitedly, praying in his heart not to faint at this time. Wait until Tang Mo finally swallowed the sesame cake. As soon as he looked up, he found Li Jinnian hurrying towards the backyard with the wooden butler and the two catchers with a blushing face.
Tang Mo wiped his mouth casually with his sleeve, and then quietly followed.
Li Jinnian didn't bring the two catchers to his study, but only took them to the side hall.
The butler didn't follow up, but stood guard at the door like a doorman.
Tang Mo looked at the tightly closed wooden door with embarrassment, thinking of the face he had just skimmed in his mind, and his heart was as anxious as a fire.
It can't be that you're dazzled, right? Or is it just a face with a lot of similarity? Or is there a face in this other world that is exactly the same as in the original world? Tang Mo couldn't control his rapid heartbeat, and he felt like he was about to go crazy.
By the way, just one second look, just one glance, you can be 100% sure that it is yes and no.
But how do you take a second look?
Tang Mo rolled his big smart eyes, and at the main door, he didn't even think about it, the posture of the wooden butler standing at the moment was even cooler than that of the agent in the original world. Tang Mo swept his gaze to both sides of the side hall, the window? Yes, the main entrance is not good, and there are no windows? Tang Mo felt that after he crossed over, his IQ had dropped by several levels. It seems that it is not good to eat purely, radish and cabbage every day, and the nutrition of this brain cell can't keep up with the rhythm!
Quietly avoiding the sight of the butler, Tang Mo came to the wooden window, although the window was closed, it was not closed tightly, and there was a small slit. Tang Mo kept praying in a dumb voice, don't make a sound, and slowly opened the window door. Finally opened with the width of a hand, Tang Mo looked at it.
Nani, what the hell is this? Screen? There was a screen? Tang Mo was so angry that he wanted to explode and curse.
Just as Tang Mo wanted to change the window and peek again, there was an intermittent sound of talking in the room.
Voice, by the way, if you can hear his voice, you can determine if it's the same person or someone else who looks very similar to him.
Thinking of this, Tang Mo was excited again, stood on tiptoe excitedly, leaned his ear against the crack in the window and listened hard, but after listening for a long time, he only heard the voices of two people, and one person never spoke.
Tang Mo was almost desperate.
The conversation finally ended, the door opened, and Li Jinnian ordered the wooden butler to send the two catchers out quickly. Tang Mo rubbed his kneecaps, which had been tired for a long time, while carefully following behind them.
The wooden housekeeper sent the two catchers to the gate and exchanged a few polite words, and then went back to the inner courtyard, Tang Mo didn't give up and found an excuse to sneak out of Shangshu Mansion and secretly followed behind them, wanting to find a chance to take a good look again.
The two catchers walked unhurriedly, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into a small alley. Tang Mo was overjoyed and hurriedly followed. Hey, what about people? I obviously saw them enter the alley, but just before and after this kick, the people disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Tang Mo turned around helplessly, but the two catchers stood in front of her like iron towers.
Tang Mo suddenly wanted to laugh and cry, and shouted at one of them with red eyes:
"Ancient Treasure! It's really you! Ancient Treasure! ”
