Chapter Twenty-Four: The Keeper of the Building
I saw that the old man smiled, and he was not angry, but asked Song Yan: "The little old man has not asked the princess, how did he know about the prince of Jianglou Qu here?" ”
Song Yan didn't understand what this old man meant, but now she didn't have the heart to go around in circles with her, the sky was already dark at the moment, and she didn't know if Bo Jinnian had gone back.
She was faintly worried about Bo Jinnian's body, maybe Bo Jinnian couldn't wait for her to go back, and she would be worried.
Thinking of this, Song Yan suddenly realized that she didn't know when she would worry about that man's safety.
Then Song Yan told herself that she would never fall in love with Bo Jinnian, this was just the doctor's concern for the patient. She has always been a responsible doctor.
"If the princess doesn't tell Xiao Lao the reason, then Xiao Lao won't take you to see Qu Gongzi." The old man said again.
When it came to this, Song Yan had no choice but to say, "It was my father who told me." Then, Song Yan took out the jade butterfly that Song Siyuan gave her.
"My father explained that if I take this thing to see Qu Gongzi, he will naturally know my intention." Song Yan had to tell the old man all the causes and consequences at this time.
The old man saw the jade butterfly for the first time, and suddenly his eyes burst into tears: "Your father is Song Siyuan?" ”
Song Yan saw his strange expression, and he didn't know why: "Uncle, do you also know this jade butterfly?" ”
The old man nodded.
Only then did Song Yan enter the building.
The building is elegantly decorated and exquisitely furnished.
"Please come with me." The old man said again.
Song Yan thought that he could really see Qu Gongzi now, and he didn't know what the origin of this Qu Gongzi was, it was so mysterious.
The two of them came to an ancestral hall where a huge sign was enshrined with various names written on it.
The old man stepped forward and lit three sticks of incense, bowed to himself, and lit three pillars of incense for Song Yan, although Song Yan had doubts in his heart, he also did so.
After Song Yan finished everything, the old man suddenly said, "This is it." ”
Song Yan didn't know why, "What does the old man mean?" It's not just you and me here, where is Gongzi Qu? ”
"Hahaha, your dad really didn't tell you anything?" The old man burst out laughing.
Song Yan couldn't bear to be irritable at this time: "Uncle, don't play dumb riddles with me, where is this Qu Gongzi?" ”
"The person who wears a jade butterfly and worships the ancestral tablet of the Song family is the owner of the Jianglou here, Gongzi Qu." Old Uncle Dao.
Song Yan was stunned for a while before he understood, "You mean, Gongzi Qu is not a specific person at all?" ”
The old man nodded: "The old slave greets the new master." ”
The two children behind him also knelt down in unison and shouted in unison: "I have seen the new master." ”
Song Yan thought, it turns out that the Song family still has such a treasure.
She said that the Song family, which was once the richest man in the capital, could decline so quickly, and it turned out that they were hiding their money here.
"Uncle, hurry up, what's going on, what is the role of Bian Jianglou, why does my father have to pass Bian Jianglou to me at this time?" Song Yan is now a series of questions in his mind.
"Back to the master, this Jianglou has belonged to the Song family since the Taizu period, and it guards the foundation for the Song family." Old Uncle Dao.
"Inheritance?" Song Yan asked.
"Yes, all the wealth that the ancestors of the Song family have accumulated over the past hundred years is stored in Bianjiang Tower." He explained.
"Then Jianglou here is a safe." Song Yan sighed, the ancestors of the Song family are really wise, and they also know how to save money.
"What is a safe? However, we are indeed protecting the treasure of the Song family. The old man said.
Song Yan didn't explain, "It's just a metaphor, that is, it means very safe." ”
"Thank you little master for the compliment." The old man said.
"Then do you know how much wealth our Song family has?" Song Yan asked.
The old man lowered his head, "This is not something that the old slave can know, only the masters of the past generations can enter the building to check." ”
"Then you mean that my father is also the inheritor, so has he ever been there?"
"The previous generation of heads of the family went in once, and never went in again." The old man said, "As for what's inside, that's not what the old slave should know." ”
Song Yan knew that he couldn't ask anything from here, to know how much the Song family had saved in the past dynasties, it was estimated that he could only go in and see it, but it should be a very large number.
It is no wonder that from the very beginning, the old man was cautious. It's not been easy these years.
"This ancestral rule." The old man pointed to a warning on the ancestral tablet, which read: "It can only be used for the great good." ”
After figuring out the secret of Bian Jianglou, Song Yan was no longer interested, it was just a treasure place for the Song family.
What she wants most now is to save her father from the prison in Dali Temple.
The old man looked at his sad face and asked puzzledly, "Why is the little master worried?" ”
Song Yan had no choice but to tell the old man about Song Siyuan.
"I know about the previous master, and the little master is afraid that he doesn't know, our Bianjiang Building has another function." The old man looked at Song Yan and said, in that desolate gaze, there was a touch of mystery.
"What function?" Song Yan hurriedly asked.
"The owner and guardian of Bian Jianglou, the treasure of the Song family, the guardian of the past dynasties, is a secret agent in the rivers and lakes on the surface, and there are wizards all over the world who can get first-hand news." Old Uncle Dao, there was a trace of pride and pride in his eyes.
"Is there anyone else here besides us?" Song Yan's tone was completely disbelieving.
The old man also heard what she meant, "These people only come back on the first and fifteenth days of the month to receive tasks and remuneration, and the rest of the time are scattered all over the place, and now it happens to be the end of the month, so they are not there." The old man explained.
"Who was in charge before that?"
"Of course, the previous owner of the building, your father." Then, the old man changed his words, "The previous master has not enabled the secret agent function again. ”
Sure enough, it was the same as her conjecture.
This is the main reason why Song Siyuan asked him to come to Bian Jianglou! Since the people of the imperial court came to investigate, and it was in the way, then use the power of the rivers and lakes to investigate.
Song Yan hurriedly asked: "Then if I want to restart Bian Jianglou now, what should I do?" ”
"You just need to take your jade butterfly, open the mechanism on the roof of the building, and Bian Jianglou will release three red flames, then, these Jianghu spies will converge here on the first day of the next month, and now there are still ten days until the first day of the next month."
This old man is like the user manual of Bian Jianglou, he knows everything.
"What are you waiting for, you can take me now." Song Yan said.
Under the leadership of the old man, Song Yan successfully came to the top floor. This is the highest position on the entire island and has an unobstructed view of the river.
There was a jade platform in the middle, apparently a mechanism.
Song Yan put the jade butterfly on it, and it was tightly sealed. Suddenly, three red fireworks burst out from the front of the jade platform, rushing straight into the sky.
Every time the fireworks bloomed in the sky, it was a green butterfly.
"The ancestor of the Song family is quite romantic." Song Yan teased.
