Chapter 52, The Chamber of Secrets
Xiao'er slept in a coma for two days, and in these two days, the dean took good care of him, and he and Bai Liang searched the cottage inside and out, except for some loose silver from each house, there was nothing else. And the room where the man in white walked out, he checked it carefully, and from the clues, it showed that this was just an ordinary guest room, which should have been the Jin brothers and sisters who lived here before, except for simple applications, it was two messy packages, clothes and silver tickets scattered around, but there was nothing to pay attention to. But as the dean searched, he also found that in addition to the one where Xiao'er slept, there was another house with good decoration, but it was not as luxurious as the one where Xiao'er was, so it should be Fan Mingyang's house, and Xiao'er's room should be the residence of the big boss. So the dean almost demolished Fan Mingyang's room, but he didn't find it, and this room, after all, Xiao'er was still asleep, and he didn't dare to be too loud, but he carefully rummaged around, and even the Flying Immortal Diagram was also removed, but there was no imaginary dark room opened, and it seemed that he had to find it again.
The dean was very distressed, this huge cottage, why didn't there even be a treasure vault, it must have been hidden very deeply, if he knew this, he should have captured Fan Mingyang first, asked carefully, and when he asked where the treasure was, it was not too late to kill, but now like this, the dean can only wait for Xiao'er to wake up, and then think of a way.
And Xiao'er was in a coma for two days, in addition to constantly shouting "Yanyan little master", she was more dreaming of "I killed someone". The dean didn't know who the "little master of Yanyan" was, but he understood how much impact the killing of Fan Mingyang this time would have on Xiao'er, so he could only pat Xiao'er and say: "The wicked must be killed, only in this way will the good people not be harmed." ”
In the middle of the night, Xiao'er woke up, and when he woke up, he looked at the master grandfather and Bai Liang who were quietly guarding him, and said, "Grandpa, Xiao'er also killed someone." The dean gently stroked Xiao'er's head and said, "If you kill it, you will kill it, he won't die, I don't know how many people are still harmed by him, Xiao'er is for the people this time." ”
It may be the words left by the dean when he patted him in the past few days, or the result of Xiao'er in a dream, when the master and grandfather finished saying this, Xiao'er finally no longer felt guilty for killing someone, just rubbed his stomach and said, "Grandpa, Xiao'er is hungry." Bai Liang immediately jumped on the table, grabbed a large piece of meat, returned to the bed, and gently placed it in front of Xiao'er.
Looking at Xiao'er gobbling up, the dean smiled: "Don't worry, eat slowly, be careful to choke." He poured some more water and handed it to Xiao'er. As a result of laughing, he took a few big sips and laughed.
When the dean saw Xiao'er's appearance, he knew that he was no longer haggard from the murder, and his body was much better, and the boulder in his heart finally fell, and said softly: "It's still dark now, Xiao'er, you can sleep again, after dawn, we will continue to look for treasures." ”
"Why, grandpa, haven't you found Xiao'er's treasure yet?" Xiao'er exclaimed.
"No, this place is too big, they hide it deeply, grandpa and Bai Liang searched for a few days, but they still didn't find it. You go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. The dean said softly.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep, laugh and sleep. Besides, this bed is so bad that Xiao'er's body hurts. As he spoke, Xiao'er stood up and writhed there.
"This bed is so thick, how can it be awkward. The dean said.
"It's just smiling, it's there, it's very hard. With a smile, he gestured to a place on the bed where he had been lying.
"Where is it hard?" The dean suddenly thought of a possibility, and said to Xiao'er: "Xiao'er, you come down first and let grandpa take a look." When Xiao'er got off the ground, the dean lifted the bed, and saw an iron ring underneath, and the ring was placed right on the bed. The dean pulled hard, and the iron chain was pulled out by the ring, and only the sound of "clicking" in the room was heard, and a corner of the table in the room suddenly collapsed, and the things on the table were spilled all over the ground, and a passage appeared there, leading to the ground. A few people hurriedly walked forward, Xiao'er moved the table away, the dean also took out the fire fold, lightly, the faint flame rose, the dean was in front, Xiao'er was in the bureau, behind the Bailiang Palace, just a few people walked down the passage, no, when the feet fell on the ground, the dean found a torch on the wall and lit it, only to see that with the light, a few people finally saw this place, it turned out that this was a big secret room, several boxes of gold, silver, treasures were placed in it, and there were many silver tickets placed on the table in the dark room, where there were many books.
The dean was overjoyed and said happily: "Xiao'er, you are really a lucky star, grandpa and Bai Liang have been looking for a few days, but they have not found anything, you have slept and found the secret room, this luck is really enviable." ”
Xiao'er was also happy when she heard her master and grandfather praise herself, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, don't praise Xiao'er first, hurry up and look for it, where is Xiao'er's baby?"
Seeing the appearance of Xiao'er, the dean also smiled, walked to the table, picked up the silver ticket on the table, and clicked it, there were more than 200,000 taels, which was a huge amount of money, and he was happy, and hurriedly hid it in his arms, and was even more dissatisfied with these mountain bandits, these thieves actually robbed so many property, I don't know how many people were harmed for this. I looked at the table again, looked at the books, opened them, and found that they were accounts, on which each income was recorded in detail, and the mouth of each one ended up in the end, which was clearly written. Some of them were handed over to the county officials of Fengping County, and most of them were sent to the capital, but it was only written on the palm that they had been sent to the capital, and the specific person who received the money was not written. The dean secretly said in his heart: "I actually have a connection with the nobles in Beijing, but I don't know who it is, and I can't make a judgment, so I'd better hand it over to Cheng Tong and let him deal with it." ”
Xiao'er also walked to the dean's side at this time, holding a box in her hand, which was the one Huang Bing said, and said: "Xiao'er's baby has been found, most of the things are there, but the Qinglongyi has not been found, grandpa, what do you say we should do." ”
"Have you searched carefully?" asked the dean.
"Xiao'er has searched all over the box, even those boxes, Xiao'er has also turned over, still no, grandpa, you say, could it be that they lost Xiao'er's treasure. Said with a smile.
"It's hard to say, grandpa will help you find it first, if there is no here, we will look for it in the cottage tomorrow, if it still doesn't, it doesn't matter, after all, most of the things have been found, I think your grandfather Huang Bing also has a way, replace the green dragon wing with other things, and there is also the jade that the girl gave you, this thing is much higher than the green dragon wing, it must be enough to have it." As he spoke, the dean took out a piece of jade and handed it to Xiao'er.
Xiao'er picked it up, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's so beautiful." ”
The dean smiled and said, "This is a blue-blooded jade, it is the treasure of an immortal cultivator, of course it is beautiful." Just laughing, do you know who that girl is, it can't be the black cat? ”
Xiao'er hid the green blood jade in her arms, tilted her head to think about it, and said, "There is a hazy feeling on her body, which makes Xiao'er feel somewhat similar to Nuan Nuan, but the smell is wrong." Besides, Nuan Nuan is a cat, she is a human, grandpa, you really love to laugh. ”
"Oh, that's right. The dean thought for a moment and said, "No matter who she is, as long as she doesn't hurt you, then we don't have to care, just laugh, if you see her again in the future, you still have to pay more attention." ”
"Got it, grandpa. Let's hurry up and find the laughing baby. Laughing impatiently.
"Good, good. The dean said, and Xiao'er and Bai Liang searched again, but they still didn't find it. In the end, the dean said: "Let's stop here, tomorrow we will look for it in the village, if not, we will go back to Hetong Town, and hand over the things to your grandfather Huang Bing first, so that they can know that this cottage has been destroyed by us, and all the people have been killed, and then we will rush to Fengping County and wait for you Senior Brother Chengtong." ”
Of course, Xiao'er didn't know who this senior brother Cheng Tong was talking about, but he didn't care, just stared at the property in front of him with his eyes, and said, "Grandpa, what to do with all this silver?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Every time the bandits are suppressed, the big head stays in the barracks, the small head fills the treasury, and some will be given to those who have made meritorious contributions. When your senior brother Cheng Tong leads the soldiers up the mountain, it will naturally not lose the benefits of you and me, and these things are extremely heavy, and we can't move them away, so we can't let the soldiers go up the mountain, but I found that there is no dirty silver, which is a bit too much. The dean said.
"Oh, I know. It's a pity, so much silver. He smiled and stared at the belongings.
The dean smiled, no matter how much gold and silver there is, it is only forty or fifty thousand taels, how can it compare to the ones that he has hidden in his arms, and said, "Don't look at it, let's go." ”
But Xiao'er ran to those boxes, he naturally didn't know that gold was much more expensive than silver, so he took a lot of silver and stuffed it in his arms, and filled his treasure chest in his hand, and then returned to the master and grandfather, and said, "You can't leave it all to them, Xiao'er also pack some." Alright, grandpa, let's go. ”
Seeing this, the dean shook his head again and again, this kid is really greedy, but he doesn't think which one is more expensive, forget it, I'll teach it later, and replied: "Let's go." Then with Xiao'er and Bai Liang, he went out of the secret room, spread the bedding on the ground again, and rested. In the haze, I heard Xiao'er keep saying: "So much money, this is for my mother, this is for my sister, this is for my godmother, and the rest is Xiao'er." After saying that, he laughed again, although the dean found it interesting, he wanted to ask: "Why is there no grandfather?" But he also knew that Xiao'er had sharp eyes, and seemed to have already seen that he had hidden the silver ticket, since he didn't say it, he was always not good at provoking his head, twisted his body, and rested well, after all, he had worked hard to take care of Xiao'er in the past few days, and he was indeed a little tired.
On the second day, at dawn, Xiao'er and the others almost turned the cottage over, but they didn't find the so-called Qinglongyi, which provoked Xiao'er to scold the bandits: "You bastards, you actually lost Xiao'er's baby." Then he found Fan Mingyang's corpse and kicked him a few times, but in the past few days, the corpse was also a little rotten, and some corpse water splashed on Xiao'er's feet, which made Xiao'er even more angry, and vomited nauseously, and finally saw the treasure knife that fell to the ground, Fan Mingyang, and said: "Although there is some damage, after all, it should be good to be able to tear Xiao'er's treasure clothes." It's better to laugh and play for a few days than empty-handed. Since the dagger was taken back by the master and grandfather, Xiao'er always wanted to have his own weapon, picking up the knife, although it is long, it is not very convenient to wield, but after all, it is also his own, Xiao'er is still very satisfied, and he is looking forward to the weapon that Grandpa Huang Bing is about to build for himself, I hope it is really a first-class magic weapon.
