Chapter 62: The Wooden Box
In the silence of the night, a donkey cart quietly appeared at the door of Pan Jinlian's backyard.
A handsome man wearing a straw hat got out of the cart, opened the door neatly, pulled the donkey cart in, and immediately closed it.
The night breeze blew gently, and none of this was seen by anyone else.
The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, and it has been a while since the Wu Dalang incident.
Everything that should be searched and taken in this house has been taken away, and besides, Ximenqing is dead, no one will pay attention to this place.
Li Zhengyi plans to hide here for the next two days, and as for the rest, we will wait until later.
Li Zhengyi and Pan Jinlian went up and down, groping and looking at it, the inside of this house really looked like it had been robbed by bandits, except for the heavier tables, chairs and beds, other things that could be moved had been quietly taken away by someone without knowing it.
But fortunately, it will only stay for a few days, and it will be over.
suddenly thought that Wu Dalang had fled, so wouldn't this house become an ownerless thing?
So he asked Pan Jinlian if he would sell the house too, but he didn't expect that the house was rented by Wu Dalang.
Originally, I thought that Wu Dalang was a house-owning family like himself, but he didn't expect it to be rented, and I couldn't help but think that it was really merciful for him to marry a wife under such conditions.
"Big brother, this house expires at the end of the year, when will we live?"
Li Zhengyi thought about it, and still told Pan Jinlian the plan again: "I will leave in two days, I want to move directly to Hangzhou to settle down." The money is all in you, and you should think about how to implement it and what kind of business you can do in the past two days. ”
It's impossible to go together, Li Zhengyi can only spare a day at most to send her out of the city, as for where she can be sent, it's up to fate.
Although he has experienced so many things during the day, Li Zhengyi is still alive and energetic.
I was bored, and after practicing my skills in the yard for a while, I went to bed.
In the middle of the night, the room was pitch black and there was silence outside.
Li Zhengyi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly got up, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
sat there and thought about the time for a few breaths, then put on his clothes without saying a word, and went out quietly without calling Pan Jinlian, who was asleep.
Late at night, it was getting quieter and quieter outside, Li Zhengyi didn't know what time it was, and there was no figure on the street, only the moonlight from the sky sprinkled with a layer of silver gauze on everything around.
The little donkey on the side looked up at him, and saw him quietly falling out of the wall, his dark eyes full of ignorance, tilting his head and thinking about it, and then fell asleep again.
After Li Zhengyi came out, he tightened his clothes and shoes, he didn't go far, but walked straight towards the tea shop opposite.
He came here looking for an opportunity to fulfill some of his previous promises, since Ximen Qing was killed, is there still a princess?
But when he reached the door, he found that there was an iron lock hanging on it.
No way?
Some strange thoughts flashed in his heart, and Li Zhengyi turned to the backyard softly, and then the door was locked.
"Did the mother-in-law run away after hearing the news that Ximenqing had been killed? That's too much of a chicken thief, isn't it? ”
Since he couldn't find anyone, he had no choice but to prepare to go back. But as soon as he walked to the door, Li Zhengyi thought that the princess would not play an empty trick like Pan Jinlian.
So he returned in the dark of night, climbed through the wall of the backyard of the tea shop, and found that the door to the back room was also locked.
But this couldn't stop Li Zhengyi at all, I saw him take a few steps back, and then jumped forward with the force under his feet, and reached the window in two clicks.
With a gentle push with his hand, he found that the upstairs window was not closed, but even if it was closed, Li Zhengyi would pry it open with a sword.
This time there was no cold light coming out of the window, and he climbed into the room on the second floor with his hands and feet very neatly.
There was no one, he searched carefully upstairs and downstairs, but he didn't find Wang Po.
It seems that it is really as he expected, after hearing the news that Ximenqing was killed and killed, the princess must have felt scared and fled, I have to say that the instinct of these wicked people to run away is really strong.
After a while, Li Zhengyi was about to leave, but as soon as he walked to the window, he felt that he couldn't do it, wouldn't it be a cheap old pig and dog to go like this.
So he searched up and down the house more carefully, and put everything he thought was worth taking with him on the table.
In the end, there were only two silk horses and a set of silver tea sets, Li Zhengyi frowned and looked at these items, thinking to himself, could it be that the old pig and dog had already guessed that he would come in and take all the valuables away?
Suddenly he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he listened carefully with his knuckles on the floor tiles in the corner.
"Knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Wow......"
Got it?!
Li Zhengyi knocked carefully again, and found that the bottom of this floor tile was indeed hollow.
With a slightly excited heart, I groped in the darkness and inserted the blade into the crack of the brick, and pried up the floor tile.
Sure enough, there was something! And it's the same boxy wooden box.
I can't help but wonder in my heart, do people in this era like to hide good things under the floor tiles?
But none of that matters, what matters is what's in the box.
After Li Zhengyi rubbed his hands, he opened the square wooden box like opening a blind box.
Hiss!!
He couldn't help but be a little impressed by the princess, but he didn't expect to hide so many treasures
But thinking about the shady things that the woman did, it is reasonable to be able to save so much wealth.
There are more than a dozen silver ingots, four gold cakes, and a pair of thick and heavy gold bracelets neatly placed in the box.
There are two other things, although Li Zhengyi doesn't know how much they are worth, but he feels that they should be more valuable than these silver ingots.
The two objects were an egg-sized topaz pendant and a gold scroll with something inscribed, slightly thicker than kraft paper, about the size of A4 paper when opened.
There were some things drawn on it, which were not clear in the dark, but through the moonlight, I could vaguely see what seemed to be figures and words.
That piece of Hetian topaz is held in the hand, it feels very smooth and delicate, and the texture should be very good.
In ancient times, topaz should have been rare in ordinary people's homes, and I don't know where this woman came from.
Occasionally, Li Zhengyi didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to pack all these things and take them away.
In the end, he did the same, and didn't even leave the box, but stuffed it directly into his arms.
Then he went upstairs and wrapped the silk and silver tea sets he had found before in a piece of coarse cloth, and carried them in his hands and turned them down from the window.
The front and back doors of this house are locked, but the contents are missing, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid you will think that some ghost did it.
Although he was carrying something in his hand and stuffing a wooden box in his chest when he went back, Li Zhengyi's steps were indeed very light.
