Chapter 30: Greed?

"By the way, Second Uncle, did I recruit the person I handed over to you yesterday?"

After chatting about the topic of the Shenglong Society, Li An suddenly remembered the man in black who was handed over to the second uncle last night.

"Dead."

Du Yuan replied casually.

"Dead?"

Li An stared at Du Yuan in disbelief.

The good guy himself just sent it over yesterday, and he was played to death today, and the Tianlingwei gang are too ruthless, right?

Is it that there are no prisoners in the cell, and they are bored and bored, tossing and playing with the prisoners they sent over.

Du Yuan nodded in confirmation.

"You died not long after you left last night, you were killed, it is estimated that it was someone there, afraid of what he said."

Du Yuan gave Li An an understandable look.

Li An suddenly glanced outside and asked Du Yuan in a low voice: "You have also been infiltrated." ”

Du Yuan nodded helplessly.

"Tianlingwei is His Majesty's personal guard, it is certain that he was infiltrated, I suspect that Cui Yong ran away, and he notified him to help send it out."

Ang Lee agrees with this.

If he is a high-level member of the Ascending Dragon Society, he will also install personnel in the Heavenly Spirit Guard.

Even Li An suspected that there were many people in the upper echelons of the Heavenly Spirit Guard who were members of the Ascending Dragon Society.

The reason why Ang Lee thinks this way is mainly two words, orthodoxy.

Today's empress is the one who takes away her son, and her name is not right, let alone a woman.

In ancient times, when men were in charge, it was simply intolerable for a woman to ride on their heads and point fingers, let alone be an emperor.

"So what are you going to do? pretended not to know, or secretly investigated this person and dealt with it. ”

Du Yuan shook his head slightly.

"The water is too deep, I don't plan to participate, as long as he doesn't go too far, I'll pretend I don't know."

Regarding the second uncle's decision, Ang Lee raised his hands in agreement.

For such a thing as a position, to be honest, it's really hard to choose.

The Queen's faction, the Thang Long Society.

Don't look at the fact that it is safe and sound now, but in the future, there will definitely be a big battle.

Once one side loses, the other side is liquidated.

The battle for the throne is the most cruel, once the wrong bet is lost, the light is dismissed from office, and the worst may be wiped out.

So it's actually better to be neutral in this matter.

Of course, by maintaining neutrality, neither side is offended, and at the same time both sides are offended.

In the future, no matter who wins on both sides, the neutral side will have a very small chance of being reused unless it has great talent.

"My lord, I found a secret room, would you like to come and have a look?"

Just when the uncle and nephew were thinking about each other, the inquiry of the trial hundred households sounded outside the door.

"I see, here we go!"

After cleaning up his mood, Du Yuan greeted Li An and said, "Let's go, let's take a look, if there are any good jewelry, you can take a few back to your second aunt and Yue'er." ”

As soon as he heard about this good thing, Li An immediately followed behind the second uncle with a smile.

Du Yuan, as a hundred households, the head of Tianling Weitou in Tai'an County, in order to maintain his majesty, he must not be able to take things.

If Du Yuan is taking something, it will be embezzlement of stolen money, and he will be reported to his superiors by someone with a heart, and he will eat the board lightly, and if it is serious, he will lose his official position and lose his head.

But Ang Lee is different.

He took out his hand to take things, and the members of the Tianlingwei who were in charge of registration, for the sake of the second uncle's face, as long as Li An didn't go too far, he would pretend not to see it.

Even if it was reported to the superiors, the crime was at most lax management of relatives, and the superiors would reprimand Du Yuan at most, and it would be just a minor demerit.

It is precisely for this reason that the second uncle asked Ang Lee to follow and see if he could take a few good pieces of jewelry.

Du Yuan and Du Xiaoyue's mother have been married for almost 20 years, and they have not bought expensive jewelry for them, so they want to take this opportunity to compensate their wives.

Soon, Li An and the second uncle followed the trial hundred households around several corridors and came to a courtyard full of various flowers and plants.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Ang Lee recognized the place.

He had been to this place the other day when he was exploring at night.

If he remembers correctly, this should be Miss Cui's boudoir courtyard.

Sure enough, with the group entering.

Li An saw his eldest apprentice Zhang Wen at a glance, standing next to the small building like a piece of wood, looking at the second-story small building with a blank gaze.

"Yun Baihu, when did he come?"

Li An pulled the test hundred households who were walking in front and stretched out his finger to point at Zhang Wen.

"As soon as our side surrounded the Cui family, Brother Wen came over, and then ran here like a madman, looked around the house, and stood there without moving."

Try Baihu glanced at Zhang Wen and explained in a low voice.

The second uncle also glanced at Zhang Wen and looked at Li An, "Do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Li An shook his head, "Wait a while, it's okay for him to calm down and calm down in this kind of thing, others can't persuade him." ”

Du Yuan and the trial hundred households are also from the past, and they understand that at this time, Zhang Wen's mood must be very uncomfortable, and he can't listen to persuasion at all.

The three of them walked to the small building, and when they passed by Zhang Wen's side, they all reached out and patted Zhang Wen's shoulder to show comfort.

Walking into the small building and looking at the antique decorations that were still on the shelves inside, the second uncle Du Yuan frowned and looked at the trial hundred households reproachfully.

"Why hasn't it been sealed yet?"

Try Baihu with a bitter face and snorted outside, "That master won't let him, saying that no one is allowed to touch the things here." ”

Glancing back, looking at the three of them looking at Zhang Wen like thieves, the second uncle shook his head speechlessly.

"Forget it, let's save it here until the end."

The three of them did not stop in the outhouse, bypassed a luxurious screen, and entered a boudoir with a strong girlish atmosphere.

The house was messy.

Women's clothes, rouge, brocade were thrown everywhere.

On the dresser, there are also some scattered gold and silver jewelry.

Obviously, the owner of the house was in a hurry, and many things were too late to be packed.

"My lord, here."

When Li An looked at the room, he walked to a wardrobe and signaled Du Yuan and Li An that the wardrobe was the entrance to the secret room.

Du Yuan gave Li An a look and followed the trial hundred households in.

When the two walked into the secret room, Li An walked quickly to the dresser, took out the pink silk scarf from his arms and spread it out, and swept away the jewelry on the table and on the ground.

I have to say that the life of the daughter of a rich family is really not what ordinary people can imagine.

Not to mention the brocade clothes that were thrown all over the ground, just these jewelry that was not taken away, Li An estimated that it was worth at least five or six hundred taels.

One of the most valuable gold-inlaid hostas, Li An conservatively estimated that it was worth three hundred taels.

This hairpin was found by Ang Lee in the corner, and it should have been inadvertently dropped by the other party in a hurry to load something.

Otherwise, such a precious and good-looking hairpin, Miss Cui would definitely be reluctant to throw it.

After confirming that nothing was missing, Li An picked up the small package and was just about to put it in his arms, when something suddenly came to mind again, glanced at the direction outside the door, and a smile appeared on his face.

Walking out of the small building and standing in front of Zhang Wen, Li An stuffed the small package into Zhang Wen's hand.

Touching something in his hand, Zhang Wen's eyes fluctuated a little, and he looked at Li An suspiciously.

"It's your woman's thing, isn't it?"

Zhang Wen glanced down at the package, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly.

"I'll leave it to you now."

Zhang Wen looked at Li An in astonishment.

What is in this, Zhang Wen also figured it out just now.

These things are so well packed, Zhang Wen thought that Li An was going to fill his own pockets and embezzle stolen goods, but he didn't expect to give them to himself.

In an instant, a trace of emotion surged in Zhang Wen's heart.

But just as he was about to thank Ang Lee, Ang Lee's next words made him dumbfounded.

Stretching out his hand to wrap his hand around Zhang Wen's shoulder, Li An said kindly: "What about you... It is my eldest apprentice, as the so-called master and apprentice are like father and son, I not only want to teach you the principles of life, but also teach you the sophistication of human feelings, which can be said to be very hard. ”

With a sigh of emotion, Li An continued shamelessly under Zhang Wen's puzzled expression: "The master is so hard, as an apprentice, it is appropriate to be filial, right?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Wen to react, Li An reached out and took back the package that Zhang Wen had not yet covered with heat.

"Your filial piety master has realized that the teacher doesn't want to accept these things, but if you don't want it, I'm afraid that I will disappoint your filial piety."

Reaching out and stuffing the package into his arms, Li An patted Zhang Wen's shoulder, and then said in his forced expression: "In order not to make you feel sad, these things are temporarily accepted as a teacher." By the way, you remember! I don't want it, I'm just keeping it for you for the time being, and I'll give it to you when you get out of school. ”

Touching the package in his arms, Li An thought happily as he walked into the secret room.

The thing was sent by the apprentice, then it is not considered stolen, even if the superior checks it, it has nothing to do with me, if you want to find it, you can find my apprentice, it was sent by my apprentice, and I have nothing to do with it.

Zhang Wen stared at Li An, who walked into the secret room with his mouth open for a long time, and he didn't know how to express the feeling of being in his heart.
