Old man Yang first tied Niu Zhang's hands, and then went over to cut the rope that tied Haomei.

Haomei walked up to Niu Zhang, took out a small box from his pocket, sprinkled the potion on the handkerchief, and covered Niu Zhang's nose.

The cow swayed from side to side, trying to save himself from the doom, but to no avail, and in a few moments he collapsed to the ground. It turned out that it was a very effective drug. At this time, the two of them leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.

"Why is this guy here too?" Old man Yang asked.

Listening to his tone, it is completely different from the low-minded and obedient attitude when driving every day. In this way, he is definitely not a real coachman, and even the name of Old Man Yang is a pseudonym.

"I don't know. God knows! Haomei shook his head and said.

"This guy came before us. And this one is not what we expected. He was Bai Lang, whose pseudonym was Luo Lian, and he must have heard the news from Lu Ji's mother, so he rushed here. However, we didn't expect that Niu Zhang also knew this place. ”

"That guy probably also learned from Lu Ji's mother. He's really not simple, you have to be more careful in the future! ”

Old man Yang said, glaring angrily at Niu Zhang.

When Bai Lang heard the two of them say this, he thought, "Strange! In this way, isn't Lu Ji's mother's benefactor, the one who took the small box, Niu Zhang? So, who the hell is this man?" At this point, the clues are all messed up, and Bai Lang can't tell the difference.

Of course, Haomei and Old Man Yang couldn't solve this mystery, they just heard Lu Ji's mother say that the person would come to the old lighthouse at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday to meet the old lady.

Who is this man? It's already 3 o'clock. Haomei muttered to himself.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

The footsteps were soft, as light as a child walking, and almost at the same time, a very soft voice was heard.

"Ahh It's here! ”

The three of them stared intently at the doorway.

"Mother-in-law! How are you? Sorry I'm late. ”

A hearty voice drifted in. Then, the door opened, and all three of them were taken aback when they saw someone coming.

It turned out that it was actually a beautiful blonde girl who came in

When the girl saw them, she was immediately stunned, her face turned pale with fright, and she wanted to run back, but she saw that there was a white lang among them, so she hesitated.

"Ahh......h Are you here too? What's going on here?" She exclaimed in surprise.

"Ahh It turned out to be Miss Qiaoyan! Bai Lang couldn't help but shout.

Tan Qiaoyan knew Bai Lang, and she also knew that his name was Luo Lian, and she often chatted with her father in the house, and she also talked to him.

Why did Tan Qiaoyan come here? Bai Lang was puzzled.

At this moment, Haomei walked over. "Who are you?" Haomei asked.

"I ...... I am Tan Jihong's daughter, named Tan Qiaoyan. Tan Qiaoyan said in a low voice, she was obviously a little scared.

"Oh, you're that Tan Jihong's daughter?......"

Haomei was obviously a little surprised, but she immediately changed her tone: "Oh, I know, are you here to see Old Lady Lu?"

"Yes. But who are you?"

Haomei didn't talk, turned to Old Man Yang and said:

"You go outside, lock the door, don't let anyone in, and keep watch over me."

"Yes."

Old man Yang walked out of the door, and Haomei then said to Tan Qiaoyan: "Miss! Do you know him?"

As he spoke, Haomei pointed to Niu Zhang, who was lying on the ground and lost consciousness.

"Ahh This is a friend of my father's! What's wrong with him?\"

"Let me tell you! You'll be shocked. You may not know the details, but I can tell you more about them. Sit down in a chair! ”

As she spoke, she pulled a chair for Tan Qiaoyan and found a chair to sit down. Haomei approached her, staring at Tan Qiaoyan's beautiful face, but said in a cold tone:

"Miss, three months ago, a lady was kidnapped and taken to a house. At that time, there were more than a dozen rich gentry in the hall, including Niu Zhang, and your father Tan Jihong. The rich gentry said that the lady was a bad woman, and that it was not conducive to their work, and that she must be sent to country D.

So, your father, Tan Jihong, and your cousin, Ma Quan, carried the tied lady on a stretcher to a small boat. When they had rowed the boat to the depths of the sea, they pulled out the rags that had been stuck in the hole in the bottom of the boat, and tried to drown the lady in the sea. ”

"It's just nonsense, my father would never do anything like that!" The beautiful girl Tan Qiaoyan stood up excitedly and refuted loudly.

Haomei was not in a hurry, and said with a smile:

"Miss, don't be excited. Listen to me tell the story.

"The lady was almost drowned, but luckily she was rescued by someone, and that lady was me. Your father and the Niu Gang think my presence will disturb them. That's why they had to get rid of me, and that's why they tried to murder me in every possible way. That's because they and I have a common goal, and both of us are trying to achieve it, and there's a competitive relationship between us.

"The goal is to win a big treasure. However, an important condition for winning this treasure is Lu Ji's mother. She has a mysterious little wooden box, and at the bottom of the box is carved code words that hint at the location of the treasure, and if these code words are not known, the treasure cannot be found at all.

However, Lu's mother said that she had given the box to someone else. We wanted to know who this person was, but she said that the person had been very kind to her, and she did not want that person to be implicated because of it. So, she would rather die than say the person's name. ”

Haomei's words ended there, and then she stared at Tan Qiaoyan's face, wondering how she reacted.

Tan Qiaoyan's face was blue and red for a while, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Haomei was proud, laughed loudly, and continued:

"Let me tell you one more thing! That was a long time ago. So she began to speak at length:

"Ten years ago, Dongzhou was at war with the E Army, and two men, in order to escape the war, hired a coachman to drive his carriage and pull their luggage, preparing to take refuge in the south. However, because the horse pulling the cart was too thin to go halfway. Just when they were worried, it happened that Qiao An, the right-hand man of the abbot of Cihang, passed by in a carriage.

So, the two men killed Joan and took the carriage. At that time, Joan's carriage carried a small boxwood box containing about 100 gems. After the two men divided the gems, they gave seven of the silver rings to the coachman, so as to keep the coachman in check.

The coachman put the ring in the little box and took it home. A few years later, the coachman died, leaving behind his wife and daughter. His wife thought that her husband was guilty and that the seven rings were stolen goods, so she was so frightened that she hid the little box in the haystack of the storehouse, not wanting anyone to know about it. ”
