Chapter 526: Both Surprise and Confusion
Haomei removed his veil, revealing his big clear eyes and two rows of white teeth, and smiled softly at Shirakuro. This woman has a beautiful face and a pleasant demeanor, she is the beauty of the beauties, and no one will associate her with a "thief". She really looks like a noble lady full of charm.
At this time, even Bai Lang was a little unconvinced that she would kill a few people.
"How did you get there?"
"Do you mean the Governor's house? Ordinary people call it the Governor's Mansion, and I went there a long time ago. However, I recently learned that Tan Jihong's gang was going there this morning, so I went just to see what was going on. ”
"Ahh So you know the secret of the seven-pointed candlestick hidden there?"
"While I'm not sure I'll find it right away, I think it's hiding there. When I was about to look for it, I didn't want them to do it first. ”
"That's a real shame. However, they could not find the candlestick, because I had already done it first. ”
"What? Is this true?"
Haomei stared at Bai Lang, both surprised and puzzled.
"Of course. However, it's not all of the candlesticks, but ...... You see, this is the thing. Bai Lang reached out and pulled out the bronze rod from his jacket.
Haomei took it carefully and examined it carefully.
The rod is round, curved like a snake, and has a layer of turquoise patina on it due to its age. One end of the rod is set with bright red gemstones, and from the other end, it is clearly sawn off.
Really part of the seven-pointed candlestick.
"Ah......h
"It's for them, I, Niu Zhang, Tan Jihong and others are trying our best to find them, but we found nothing, but I didn't expect it to end up in your hands. How did you find out? Where is it hidden?"
"There are 12 pillars under the balcony of the backyard of the Governor's Palace, and it is hidden in the ninth."
"How do you know it's hidden? Why not the eighth or tenth? Is it a coincidence?"
"It's not a coincidence, I did it after I observed it. Although it was the first time I had seen these pillars today, the first thing I saw was that of the 12 pillars, 11 were built in the 17th century, and only the rest were built later. ”
"How did you come to this conclusion?"
"The bricks of the 11 pillars are the same as they were more than 200 years ago, and only the bricks used for the other pillar are exactly the same as they are now. This is because, after more than 200 years, the brick-making technology has been greatly improved, and the bricks produced are also very different.
From this, I deduce that the ninth pillar was dismantled and, of course, was later laid. So why tear it down and rebuild it again? I think there must be some secret in it, and it is likely that some valuables are hidden inside. ”
"Ahh You're amazing! You're a genius! Haomei said with deep admiration.
"When you say that, you mean the bad side, right?"
Bai Lang said with a smile. He thought to himself: "This woman is so sweet-talking, she must have something in her heart." Maybe she wants to find an opportunity to take this ancient rod and swallow the treasure for herself?" Thinking of this, Bai Lang didn't dare to be careless, and he must not give her a chance; On the other hand, in order to monopolize the treasure, he took out this ancient stick for her to see, and he pretended not to care, in fact, he wanted to lure her into his trap.
"I'm on my own."
"Then you have to be careful! Tan Jihong and Niu Zhang, they won't let you go easily. ”
"They believe I've been drowned and won't pay attention to me anymore."
"But what if they find out......
"I'll be doubly careful about that."
"But, I think, I should help you. Those people are very insidious, especially the cow, who is more cunning than a fox and vicious than a wolf. These people are too dangerous. ”
Haomei did not answer. At this time, Huangfu Station had been left behind, and the carriage was galloping down the street. After a while, the carriage pulled into a small farm yard. The courtyard is full of ancient trees and dense shade.
"This is Granny Lu's house, she is a kind old man. When she was younger, she worked as a cook for our family and was very good to me, and she would rather do everything for me. ”
And that Granny Lu is not at home now.
After Haomei asked the hunchbacked old man to park the car in the courtyard, he walked out of the courtyard gate with Bai Lang and walked out into the street.
A gray building facing the street with a sign on it is the inn and restaurant mentioned above. They pushed the door open, but there was no one inside.
"Further inside, there's a little private room where I live."
"Listen, there's a man talking inside."
Bai Lang said alertly and quietly to Haomei.
"Maybe Granny Lu is chatting with an acquaintance, right?"
She walked towards the room inside. The door was open, and when I looked outside, I saw an old woman with an apron around her upper body and a pair of cloth shoes on her feet.
When she saw Haomei, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and hurriedly closed the door behind her, her mouth opened and closed, and at the same time, she shook her hands desperately.
"What's wrong, mother-in-law?"
Haomei lowered his voice to a minimum and asked.
Granny Lu sat on a chair next to her and said breathlessly, "Quick, run!" It's terrible, you run away......"
"Why? Why is that? Mother-in-law?"
"Security is after you, and they've searched your luggage in the attic,...... Run! If they see it, then, then ......"
Hao's face was like earth, and he looked at Bai Lang as if asking for help.
"Where is the security now?" Shirarou asked in a low voice.
Granny Lu pointed to the door that had just closed.
"They're over there, two people in total. After searching their luggage, they came downstairs and immediately called the bureau to report it. Maybe the Security Service is sending someone again, they're waiting. ”
Someone was talking on the other side of the door, it must have been the two security guards.
Bai Lang grabbed Haomei's hand and ran out quickly.
At this moment, two security guards on horseback were running towards the street. Bai Lang and Hao Mei hurriedly returned and closed the door gently. They felt as if the security guards had discovered themselves and couldn't rush out blindly. Besides, the security is coming this way.
"Is there a place where I can hide?" Bai Lang asked.
"Go up that staircase ......"
Granny Lu said in trepidation, and pointed to the narrow staircase over there. They hurried up the stairs. It turned out that it was a low attic, where Haomei stored his luggage.
The suitcases were opened, and many clothes were piled on the floor, apparently caused by the security search. No sooner had they escaped to the small attic than the two security guards entered the small room. At this point, the two security guards also came in. So, the four of them talked.
Haomei still hasn't slowed down, and his face is still pale. In Bai Lang's opinion, she seems to be 20 years older all of a sudden.
