CHAPTER XIV

After the subordinates informed Jin Yuan Bao of the matter of the Golden Pavilion, Jin Yuan Bao sat up in shock, hurriedly dressed and went to the Golden Pavilion to check, and notified Wang Dewen, the Taishou of Suzhou City, and Jin Zeqi, the general, to investigate, and arrest the escaped merman.

The fat body of the gold ingots trembled non-stop, scolding the guards and subordinates. Then 5,000 mermaids can be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is the main wealth of the Jin family, and the gold ingots are painful. Lin Xiaoyue, who was in a stealth state, was watching the show, just in case, Lin Xiaoyue closely monitored the gold ingot's every move, and if the gold ingots had a trick to capture the merman, he could stop it in time.

Wang Dewen sent officials to post notices throughout the city to capture the merman, and Kanazawa sent soldiers to search for the merman throughout the city, but not a single shadow of the escaped merman was seen.

Kanazawa lacquer had no father-son affection for the gold ingots, and he didn't peek into the Jin family's property, so he searched for it and told the gold ingots that he had found nothing and went back. After all, it is the responsibility of Taishou to investigate the case.

Jin Yuan Bao said angrily: Can't so many sharks grow wings and fly?

Wang Dewen took his master and officials to search for clues everywhere, woke up the stunned prostitutes and guards, and inquired about the case. After inquiry, it was only known that the medicine was mandala, and that the person who was killed showed no signs of struggle, but was stabbed to death or strangled to death with a sharp weapon after being drugged.

In such a big case, 5,000 mermaids escaped, several prostitutes and guards were killed, Wang Dewen did not dare to be careless, he had to bow down to everything, and carefully searched for clues inch by inch in the Golden Pavilion.

Wang Dewen is also talented, the Xuanwu Tower has a close relationship with the Golden Pavilion, and he sent people to the Xuanwu Tower and the periphery of the Golden Pavilion to find clues. As a result, the burning items were found scattered everywhere in the Xuanwu Tower, and traces of spell enchantments were found outside the Golden Pavilion.

Wang Dewen speculated that the enchantment was to isolate the Xuanwu Tower from the Golden Pavilion, so that the Xuanwu Building would not know what had happened to the Golden Pavilion, and if the Xuanwu Tower knew about it, he would set it on fire, causing chaos in the Xuanwu Tower and making it inconvenient to rescue the Golden Pavilion.

It's just how the mermaids escaped, and why a large number of people fled without any traces of escape. Could it be that a person who is good at wind spells led a large number of mermaids to fly away from the sky. There are so many sharks, even if the wind is clear, they can't take it.

Wang Dewen continued to look for clues inch by inch. Although the gold ingots were furious, they did not get angry with Wang Dewen. After all, Wang Dewen is too guarded and wants to give him face. And Wang Dewen's talent, he knows, if he can't solve the case, let alone others.

The Golden Loft occupies a large area and has many buildings, which is quite time-consuming to investigate. But Wang Dewen still found that the bricks on the floor of one room were loose, but the bricks in other rooms were fine, why were the bricks loose in this room. Wang Dewen pushed aside the brick slabs, and the soil under the slabs was hard, unlike the excavated soil. (In order to cover up the traces of escape, Lin Xiaoyue knocked the soil hard when sealing the exit, but the bricks on the ground were negligent).

Wang Dewen carefully inspected the soil again, turned the soil with his hands, and saw that the soil was sandwiched with yellow mud. The fertile land of Suzhou City is black mud, and yellow mud is only a few meters underground. Wang Dewen guessed the probability, ordered someone to dig, and sure enough, he dug an underground passage, went down to check and found an underground river, and knew that the merman had escaped from here.

Lin Xiaoyue, who was in a stealth state, admired Wang Dewen's ability to solve the case, and found out so quickly.

The monks of Xuanwu Tower are good at water system spells, go into the water to pursue the whereabouts of the merman, and the underground river is connected to the canal, and it is estimated that the merman has swam into the canal, and the canal leads to the South China Sea.

Jin Yuan Bao also sent his monks to the canal to catch sharks, and most of the monks in Xuanwulou were water spells, so it was easy to go into the water to catch people.

Wang Dewen persuaded and said: The owner of the golden mansion, in this case, according to the lower officials, the mastermind is meticulous and has interlocking strategies, but he is afraid that the owner of the golden mansion will pursue him, and the other party has already prepared. Now it is windy and rainy, the waves of the canal are high and not calm, the canal is large and deep, the mermaid must dive underwater, it is difficult to catch, presumably the mastermind has planned. The landlord went to the house, but he was afraid that he would fall into the trap of the mastermind and lose his people.

Gold ingots also understand, but with such a large amount of wealth, how can you say give up and give up. In order to prevent traps, he sent people to inspect the surroundings, canals, and general branches, and found no ambushes, traps, or enemies. He set out to capture the merman, and the gold ingots personally commanded the battle.

Halfway through the boat branch, Lin Xiaoyue felt that it was almost over, so she used her power to let the transparent air sword at the bottom of the river smash countless holes in the bottom of the boat.

Lin Xiaoyue had already used qi to condense hundreds of colorless and transparent qi swords and buried them at the bottom of the canal, because they were colorless and transparent, so no one found them.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't intend to hurt anyone, she just destroyed their tools. The people of Xuanwu Tower mainly cultivate water spells, and they are good at water, but they will not drown, but they have all become water dogs.

After the gold ingots went ashore, the navigation tools had been destroyed, and knowing that the merman could not catch up, he suddenly became angry and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Everyone hurriedly carried the gold ingots back to the Xuanwu Building and asked the doctor to heal them. In fact, the gold ingots are just falling into the water and contracting the wind and cold, plus the shortness of breath causes the blood and qi to go against themselves, and the gold ingots still have a little cultivation foundation, which is not a major illness. As a result, it was rumored that the gold ingots were so angry that they lost hundreds of thousands of taels of money, and they were so angry that they were disordered, and they were seriously injured by an ambush, and now they are terminally ill.

Mei Er, the rival of Xuanwu Lou, the head of the Tianyin faction, smiled so much that the corners of his mouth couldn't close when he heard the news, and Mei Er, who had always been slamming the door, also invited his disciples and subordinates to the big restaurant for a meal, and then took advantage of Jin Yuanbao's illness to grab land and business.

There are many concubines and children in the gold ingots, and it is already chaotic. As soon as the news of Jin Yuanbao's serious illness came out, everything came out about the rooster and dog thief. In this world, it is important to exchange hearts for hearts, if you are sincere to others, others may be sincere to you. The gold ingots covet the beauty of the concubine's room, and the concubine's room covets the money of the gold ingots. Most of the childless concubines saw that the gold ingots had fallen, so they stole the money and ran away, found another way out, or ran away with their lovers.

Most of the sons and daughters of gold ingots have grown crooked due to their growth environment. In order to compete for the family wealth, the children transferred the struggle under the table to the table, and fought vigorously, poisoning, hidden weapons, traps and all kinds of means came, and suddenly more than 70 children died, and more than 20 were injured. The children are fighting for property, and they are alive and dead, but no one cares about the condition of the gold ingot.

Kanazawa Paint heard about the situation on Jin Wubao's side and didn't care. First, Kanazawa lacquer doesn't want to fight for property, and secondly, those brothers and sisters have been fighting for a long time, and this day will come sooner or later. Kanazawa didn't want to get into this dirty water.

The gold ingots should be meditative and recuperate, but how to calm down in this situation. Jin Yuan Bao is also a person who has experienced ups and downs, and has been in the business world and the cultivation world for many years, how can he be defeated by this small setback.

The gold ingots took out the brocade box hidden in the dark compartment of the bed, opened the brocade box and took out a pill.

This pill is called Baicao Pill, which is refined from hundreds of famous medicines, and is purchased at a high price by gold ingots, which can cure all kinds of diseases, make the condition recover overnight, and the side effect is pain overnight.

The gold ingots took the Baicao pill, and the pain attacked. Gold ingots have never regretted in this life, only a few regrets.

Gold ingots indulge in materialistic pleasure and beauty all their lives. Enjoy everything you should enjoy in this life, and you can see it when you return to the west one day. Jin Yuan Bao was also a good seedling of cultivation when he was young, but he abandoned his cultivation because he was addicted to enjoyment and beauty, resulting in his cultivation being low now. But the gold ingots do not regret, he thinks that life should be happy in time, otherwise what is the point of cultivating for a high life and a long life, like the wind and clouds, for the practice of not enjoying the female sex, until the beloved is broken, what is the meaning of living, even if it is extremely profitable, status, and reputation.

The gold ingots rolled on the bed in pain, and at this moment of weakness, the shadow appeared in front of the gold ingots.

Although Jin Ingot was romantic when he was young, he also met a woman with snowy skin, and that woman was not stunning. But Jin Yuan Bao felt a sense of happiness when he saw the woman. Even though there have been countless women in the life of the gold ingot, none of the women have made the gold ingots feel this way.

The gold ingots wanted to impress the woman with gold and silver jewelry, but the woman did not love gold and silver jewelry, and she was disgusted with the extravagance of gold ingots, so she refused to accept gold ingots, and finally fled. The gold ingots never saw the woman again. Since then, gold ingots have become more obsessed with beauty, and they have gradually forgotten about women, but there is always a figure left in the bottom of my heart, and it is also a regret in my heart.

The gold ingots were uncomfortable, and when they thought of the woman, they felt a little more comfortable. If you give Jin Ingot a new life, Jin Ingot will still choose this kind of enjoyable life, but he will be careful not to let the woman escape.

One night later, Jin Yuan Bao asked people to wash and dress, and went to the hall of Xuanwu Building to preside over the situation. In the past, these children fought openly and secretly, as long as they did not touch the interests of Xuanwu Tower, he didn't care. Now they are going to make a fuss about the Xuanwu Building falling apart, and they can't sit idly by. Jin Yuan used thunderous means to suppress the situation, and quickly produced more than 40 children who made trouble, leaving only 11 honest children. Heirship is to pass on the children to the name of family relatives and become the children of others, which is to sever the father-son relationship in disguise.

The gold ingots gave each of the children who had an heir a sum of money, so that they could ask for more blessings in the future. The relatives of the gold ingots family are not good at stubble, and many people peep into the property of the gold ingots, but they are more calm than the younger sons and daughters of the gold ingots, and they are still waiting and watching, ready to take advantage of the situation. The more than 40 sons and daughters of the gold ingots were not good children. The wicked have their own evildoers, let them get together and toss each other to strengthen the internal friction between them. They don't have much energy to calculate the gold ingots.

Jin Ingot joined forces with Jin Ze Paint to get back the territory that Mei Er grabbed by the Tianyin faction, and with Jin Ze Paint's generals pressing the formation, Mei Er didn't dare not return it. As for business, Mei Er was not good at it, and after the gold ingots lobbied, the business came back.

As for why Kanazawa lacquer helped the gold ingots to return to the turf? Because Jin Yuanbao told Jin Zeqi that as long as he helped him once, he would cut off the relationship between the torture Ruyan and the divorce, and no longer count the punishment such as tobacco to threaten Jin Zeqi, and he would no longer disturb the lives of their mother and son.
