Chapter 101: Ill-gotten gains
The corridor was narrow and dim, the secret room was spacious and bright, and the gems of various colors exuded a dim brilliance in the candlelight of beeswax, and the sword-wielding woman walked step by step into the door, but there was no sound under her feet.
The old Taoist priest retreated to the corner, the middle-aged man stood in front of him, he stared nervously at the woman covered with a veil, and did not despise her because she was alone, the long sword in her hand was extremely sharp, maybe the next moment would take the lives of both of them.
"Whose treasure trove is this?" The woman turned her head to look at the jewels and treasures all over the floor, she had just seen some of the belongings in the house outside the door, and she was shocked and coughed up accidentally, and then she felt even more incredulous when she walked inside, it was hard to imagine who would have such a huge treasure.
Hearing the woman's question, the old Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this person is not the guard here, too, if he is a guard, he will not be able to cover his face.
There may be something to talk about, but as she said, the amount of money here is too terrifying, and the wealth is moving, so I am afraid that she will have a monopoly mind.
"This ...... The woman ......: "The old Taoist priest has the courage to talk to the woman with the sword.
But the woman didn't pay attention to him immediately, she just stared at those treasures and looked at them carefully, and only after a long time did she look at the old Taoist and said, "Tell me about this treasure house." ”
"Woman, this is where my lord keeps his family wealth, and we are here to get some jewelry for him......"
"Your surname is Yun, right? In the past, I watched fortune telling in the West Market, and recently I also ran a private school, and I have bought a new official body in the past few days, and it seems that all the money was taken from here. ”
Hearing the woman's words, the old Taoist's face froze, this person had already investigated himself in advance.
"It's okay if you don't want to say it, come with me, someone wants to see you." The woman took a few more steps forward, and the middle-aged man silently put his hand in his arms to take out the knife prepared in advance for self-defense.
Yun Laodao grabbed him, shook his head slightly and looked at the woman and said, "This treasure trove was discovered by us by accident, and its owner is Fang Dan, the Duke of Chaolu Kingdom. ”
"What?!" Hearing this, the woman reacted violently, clenching the hilt of her sword tightly, and at the same time clenching her silver teeth, her face showing a look of thin anger.
But soon she calmed down again, and looked back in the direction of the stone gate behind her.
"Let's take over the property."
"Don't trouble my sister, this matter is not something we can handle, and you don't know if what he said is true or false, take someone to Childe first, and I'll go back to explain the situation to my sister immediately."
From outside the stone gate, another woman's pleasant voice came, and the old Taoist and middle-aged man in the room jumped in their hearts, fortunately, they didn't choose to use force just now, it turned out that this woman had other companions.
"But......" The sword-wielding woman still wanted to fight for it, but the woman outside the door ignored her.
In fact, she also knew that it was impossible to be allowed, and it was a robbery to empty other people's coffers without permission.
She had no choice but to snort lightly, turn her head and point the tip of her sword at the old Taoist.
"You come with me to see someone, alone."
She looked at the middle-aged man again and said, "As for you, just grieve first." ”
……
In the woods at the foot of Nanshan, Situ Xi and Bai Manjun got down from the carriage, he asked Chaoyun to help find someone to keep an eye on the old Taoist, just now he got some news related to it, and the people of Jinse Pavilion have brought the old Taoist to Nanshan.
"I've seen Childe."
As soon as he got out of the carriage, a girl wearing a masked scarf walked into Situ Xi's sight.
"Her name is Fluttering." Bai Manjun opened his mouth to introduce to Situ Xi.
Flutter took off her veil, revealing a more mature face.
"Sister Bai! I haven't seen you in a long time. ”
Bai Manjun nodded at her, and said, "Where are the people?" ”
"Wait over there." Fluttering turned around and pointed to a pavilion behind her, and put her veil on again, "Childe, we are here to guard for you, you can go alone." ”
Situ Xi nodded, they are different from himself, and it will be very troublesome if their identities are exposed.
Approaching the pavilion in the woods, Situ Xi immediately saw the old Taoist, his eyes were covered at the moment, his mouth was blocked, his hands and feet were tied to the seats of the pavilion, the rope was tied very tightly, and there was an obvious red mark on the old Tao's arm.
But he didn't struggle, he leaned back in his chair at the moment, and the whole person seemed to be unloaded, motionless.
Seeing him like this, Situ Xi couldn't help but look back at the fluttering butterfly that was holding Bai Manjun's arm in the distance, and secretly noted in his heart that he would try not to provoke her in the future.
Walking to his side and removing the black cloth covering his eyes and the cloth from his mouth, Situ Xi sat down opposite him.
The sunlight that suddenly entered his eyes made Yun Laodao feel a little dazzling, he used the back of his hand to cover it, and after getting used to it, he opened his eyes wide to see who it was.
"Dao Chief, I'm coming to you again to see your face."
However, the smiling face that greeted his eyes made him feel excited.
"How are you?!"
"What do you mean, why can't it be me? The Taoist doesn't welcome me? Obviously, he has been trying to unsign for me before......" Situ Xi pretended to frown, showing a displeased look.
"No...... No, Childe misunderstood, Xiao Lao'er was just a little happy to see Childe. Yun Laodao smiled, and looked around weakly, "Childe, have you seen a woman?" ”
"What were you expecting?" Situ Xi smiled and said: "I'm not joking with you, let's get down to business, I basically understand the matter of the underground treasure house, you said that it was owned by Lu Guogong, how did you know about it?" He is a prince of the country, so why should he hide his property in the mountains? ”
Hearing Situ Xi's words, Yun Laodao opened his mouth, it seems that the familiar son in front of him is the master of the heroine just now.
"It's true, this is what the person who was with me just heard it with his own ears, a while ago, in the early hours of every rainy day, there were two men in black who carried goods to the temple, and they seemed to be the generals of Lu Guogong's subordinates."
"It seems?"
"He wouldn't lie, he did." The old Taoist priest shook his head, at this moment he fell into the hands of this boy, so he could only choose to tell the truth, "As for why he is hiding in the mountains, it is because it is all ill-gotten gains." ”
