"You stinky woman, why are you deceiving us? Are you really not willing to tell the truth? If you really don't know what to do, I'll let you taste the bitterness! Are you willing to follow in the footsteps of Old Lady Lu and have your two fingers smashed by someone?"

All this frightened Tan Qiaoyan to the point that her face turned pale and trembled. Bai Lang couldn't bear to look at her pitiful appearance, and said to Tan Qiaoyan softly:

"Tan Qiaoyan, please think about it again. Is there really only this sentence on it, and nothing else? Think about it again......"

Tan Qiaoyan meditated. After a while, she said sadly, "There really is nothing else." ”

"No, no! You must be lying to us! ”

Haomei roared. Then, he put the whistle in his mouth and blew it twice, and Old Man Yang ran up.

"Pull this girl out and let her taste some bitterness!"

"Yes!"

Old man Yang lifted Tan Qiaoyan up with a little force, as easy as an eagle catching a chicken, he raised his legs and walked out.

"Wait a minute!"

Bai Lang rose into the air and crashed into Old Man Yang with his body. Because he couldn't dodge, Old Man Yang shook and fell to the corner. Old man Yang was annoyed and angry, and quickly pulled out his pistol.

Bai Lang smiled contemptuously, "Hmph! Don't scare me with that! You don't dare to kill me! Kill me, and you'll never know the secret again. ”

"What's the secret? What the hell is going on?" Old man Yang was puzzled.

"That girl just lied to us and said that there was a sentence engraved under the box." Haomei replied.

"Really? What is it?"

So, Haomei repeated that sentence.

"Oh! These words are exactly the same as what the abbot said in his letter! ”

"That's right! So, I think this woman is making up lies and playing tricks on us. ”

"She wasn't lying, it was a suggestive statement." Bai Lang said loudly.

"I only now feel that it is this sentence that hints at the location of the treasure!"

"What did you say?"

"That sentence is just a code word."

"What's the codeword?"

"Humph! I can't say it easily! ”

Bai Lang looked at the two people and became proud.

At this time, Niu Zhang, who was lying at the base of the wall, just woke up, and his eyes slowly opened. However, due to their concentration, none of them noticed the cow ridge next to it.

Niu Zhang, hearing them talking about this, closed his eyes again, and pretended not to wake up, while his ears were pricked up.

"Please, tell us!" Old man Yang said humbly at this time.

"It's not hard to tell you, but you have to agree to my conditions first."

"Condition...... What conditions? Let's talk about it! ”

"There are two in total: one is to cut the rope and give me my freedom."

"Well, what about the other one?"

"Let Tan Qiaoyan go and allow her to go home. Because, this matter has nothing to do with her, she is completely ignorant of the inside story, and we can't hurt her. ”

"Okay, anything else?"

"No more. Untie the ropes, set me free, release the girl, and in 20 minutes I will tell you the code; If you know this code, you will be able to find the location of the treasure immediately. ”

"But what if you can't explain the code thoroughly?"

"Nothing was a problem. Although the code is profound, I have completely figured it out. ”

"Ahh Really?"

Haomei couldn't help but scream.

Bai Lang saw her unusually surprised look, and he looked even more interested.

"Yes, that's absolutely the case, Mrs. Li Yue, I already know the location of the treasure. I only ask you to guarantee Tan Qiaoyan's safe return home, and I can tell you this big secret. What do you think, ma'am?"

Bai Lang said mockingly, and he deliberately bowed his head ninety degrees in a very humble tone.

At this time, Haomei was enraged, "Good boy, you want to trick me!" How dare you play tricks in front of your mother! You just knew these words from Tan Qiaoyan's mouth, no matter how smart you are, even if you are an expert in code language, you can't explain those inexplicable words so quickly. You want to be clever again, so I won't be deceived by you! ”

"No, I definitely didn't lie to you. Haomei, I absolutely know...... Not only that, but I also knew that there were two other people besides me who knew the secret. ”

"What? Two more? Who?"

"Niu Zhang and Tan Jihong!"

After hearing this, Haomei and Old Man Yang widened their eyes in shock.

"Impossible! Those two people won't have a chance to know this. Old man Yang said with great certainty.

Bai Lang smiled coldly and glanced at him, looking very disdainful.

"You're so stupid! Think about it, Niu Zhang went to Tan Jihong's house yesterday, do you know the reason? Tell you, that's because the small boxwood box was already in Tan Jihong's hands at that time. You should know that that kid is a big conspirator.

"Once, he bought some of the books of Abbot Cihang. And in this batch of books, there is a memo written by the abbot himself, which records in detail what Tan Xu told the abbot......"

As soon as Bai Lang said this, he was interrupted by Haomei's laughter, and she couldn't even close her mouth with a smile.

"Haha! You're really good at showmanship! Didn't I tell you all this?"

"Not at all. However, I have my own reasons for repeating the old words today, and I don't believe you listen.

Ever since Niu Chang got the memo and learned that there was a treasure somewhere in the Dongzhou region, he tried his best to find the treasure location.

Later, he gathered more than a dozen children of the dilapidated rich gentry and searched everywhere in the Dongzhou area. At that time, Haomei, under your name Mrs. Li Yue, also participated in this group. However, you are more scheming than Niu Zhang. You're a female thief, and you're ruthless, so it didn't take long for you to leave the gang and start a treasure hunt. This means that you will be transformed from a companion to a competitor. To do this, you killed two people in that syndicate and almost poisoned Niu Zhang. ”

"Nonsense! Nothing at all!"

Haomei shouted, but his face was unusually pale.

"Shut your crow's mouth! I'm talking about the facts! Later, Niu Zhang and Tan Jihong joined forces, and sometimes, he also went to Tan Jihong's house. It didn't take long for him to discover a secret, that is, Tan Jihong and his cousin Ma Quan had killed the abbot's assistant and robbed 100 gems during the war. Niu Zhang grabbed this handle, and Tan Jihong could only obey him.

So, after Tan Jihong and Ma Quan tied you up, they carried you to a small boat on the seaside on a stretcher, ready to sink you into the sea. Of course, they were assigned by Niu Zhang. Maybe they have no grievances with you, but they don't dare to disobey Niu Zhang. ”

"I see. In other words, Tan Jihong was completely forced to do that!"
