Chapter 533: Common Goals
After speaking, Bai Lang walked into Lu Ji's bedroom, he didn't close the door tightly, so that Haomei outside could hear his conversation with Lu Ji.
At this time, the beautiful actress had fully recovered her demeanor. She thought that Bai Lang was her savior, so she deliberately got out of bed, sat on a bench, and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Bai Lang.
"How's it going, are you alright?"
"Well, I'm glad to have you...... That gangster?"
"It's already been handed over to the Security Bureau, so you don't have to worry about it. There's one thing I'd like to know, though. ”
"You're welcome. As long as I know, I'll tell you. ”
"Did you buy that seven-colored headband?"
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have made up her mind quickly, though. "Not bought, but found from a small box."
"What kind of little box is it?"
"In the countryside, under the straw in one of my mother's warehouses, there was a small box that I had stumbled upon."
"Country? Where do you live?"
"Lucheng Village. On the side of the road from the Huangfu River to Dongzhou. ”
"Oh, that's the village, I know. But who put the little box in the straw pile?"
"I don't know, and I didn't ask my mother."
"Where is that little box now?"
"It's still in place. I only took out these gems and didn't move anything else. ”
"Are these seven gems in bulk?"
"No, they're set in seven silver rings.
"In the past, I used to keep these silver rings in my vanity case in the theater. But now it's gone. ”
"It's gone?...... Why?"
"Last night, a wealthy gentleman went backstage, and he saw them, said they were rare old-fashioned rings, and was very interested in them. So, I gave them to him. ”
Bai Lang thought to himself: "It's not good! But he forced his composure, and then asked Lu Ji, "How many did you give him?" Is it all seven?"
"Yes, they were all given to him."
"Did he go backstage alone?"
"No, there are three of them."
Bai Lang secretly said "not good" in his heart. Since there are three people in total, it must be Niu Zhang, Tan Jihong and Ma Quan, who must have gone backstage at halftime.
"At that time, did they say they were going to buy those seven gems?"
"It seems that the rich gentleman is very fond of these seven gems. He said he was an antique collector and he begged me to sell them to him. At the time, I said that the next opera would need to be worn on stage, so I couldn't sell it. So we made a contract, and tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, I personally sent him the gems, and he bought them at the top price. ”
Bai Lang snorted secretly in his heart. It can be seen from this that for Niu Zhang's group, these seven gems are very important.
"Are there words engraved on the inside of those rings?"
"Yes. However, they were all strange words, which they couldn't read at all, and the seven rings were different. Besides, the words were so vague that I had never noticed them. ”
Bai Lang thought for a moment, and then said solemnly:
"I want to remind you that all the things of today, you can't tell anyone; Otherwise, it may lead to death. And, not only you, but probably even your mother. I am a plainclothes security guard, and it is my responsibility to remind you to remember that you can no longer let others know the secrets of the small box, otherwise, you will bear the consequences. ”
Lu Ji's face was like earth, and she became nervous.
"I shouldn't have stolen those things. But. My mother is not guilty of any sin. I immediately sent them to the Security Service. ”
"It doesn't have to be that way, you can keep the gems. And those seven rings, I'll get them back for you. Where does that rich gentleman live?"
"Zhongshan Street."
"What's it called?"
"Cow Ridge."
"So be it. However, I'll remind you later that you should live somewhere else. It's not a safe place to be in this area, and someone can steal your gems at any moment. What happened just now is proof that that guy must have been sent.
"In the future, I can't say that one day someone will choke you by the neck and ask you for gems. Therefore, I advise you to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and stay outside for at least a month. You can go and stay in hostels and don't let anyone find out about you except your maid. Do you think that works?"
"Well, that's it." Lu Ji trembled with fright.
Bai Lang walked back to another house, and walked out of the house with Haomei and Old Man Yang, who had already woken up.
After careful consideration, Shirarou decided on his next move. The next day, after Bai Lang disguised, he came to find Niu Zhang.
"Does Mr. Niu live here?"
"It's here. However, our lord has explained that he will not see anyone. The old servant said.
"I was sent by the actress Miss Lu Ji, please report it." The old servant didn't go in long enough to lead Shirarou into the living room. Niu Zhang, Tan Jihong, and Ma Quan were all there.
"Didn't Lu Ji say that she wanted to come by herself? Why did you send you?" Niu asked asked.
"Miss Lu Ji has encountered an urgent matter temporarily, and she can't come."
"What's the big deal?"
"She was almost killed by the gangsters."
"What?!"
All three exclaimed at the same time.
"Who's that gangster?"
"I don't know, it's for the gems anyway."
"Yikes!"
The faces of all three of them changed.
"The result? Did the gem survive?"
"Save."
When the three of them heard this, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, why are you here? Didn't Lu Ji tell you something?"
"Nope."
"So, what the hell are you doing here?"
Niu Zhang was annoyed and angry, "It's so unreasonable." It was because you were sent by Lu Ji that I met you, and I didn't meet anyone in the first place. ”
"But...... See me, it will be good for you. ”
Bai Lang smiled and said, "I have the same goal as you, and I can be described as like-minded." ”
"What? A common goal? What are you talking about?"
"Ha, isn't it just those more than a thousand gems under the granite!" Bai Lang pointed to the point, but made the three people very embarrassed.
"Where did you hear all this nonsense?"
"Nonsense? Aren't you trying to fight for this nonsense?"
The three of them looked even more embarrassed.
Bai Lang said triumphantly:
"I know the details, listen! A long time ago, there were seven temples in the Dongzhou area, and they pooled huge sums of money in the Dongzhou Temple and appointed seven abbots to manage it. Each of the seven abbots wore a gemstone ring of different colors on the ring finger of their left hand, and the name of the temple was engraved on the inside of the ring.
In addition, the seven-pointed candlestick also symbolizes the seven temples, and each rod has a gemstone of the same color as the one on the ring. At the top of the ancient rod found in the Doge's Mansion was a bright ruby, which was only one of the seven colors. ”
When Bai Lang said this, the three of them were extremely surprised, especially Tan Jihong, who shouted like a mad dog:
"That fisherman must be this kid!"
