Chapter 647: Reason (II)
At that time, Dubov's first reaction was that his old friend had carried him to dig up the shipwreck! But after thinking about it, he denied this speculation again!
Dubov's old friend has a big business, even if he has any crooked thoughts, he has a way to deal with Dubov. There is no way he could have left such a large family business in order to avoid Dubov!
And underwater treasure hunting is not as good as exploring on the road, even if you know the approximate location, it will be difficult for others to find the wreck without someone familiar with the situation to guide you. What's more, Dubov simply did not tell his old friend where he found the wreck.
In Dubov's heart, there was a hint of ominous premonition of anger!
Just as Dubov was looking around for his old friend's whereabouts, a stranger suddenly appeared in front of him with his old friend's token.
The other party directly expressed his willingness to buy the iron chain to Dubov, and offered him a high price of three hundred gold coins!
If the other party offered this price before Dubov's old friend disappeared, he would definitely not hesitate to sell the chain to the other party. After all, three hundred gold coins is his income after five years of hard work!
But 'now,' Dubov hesitated! He clearly remembered that the token in the other party's mouth was actually an old friend's 'peace charm'! Usually he didn't want to touch it, but let others take a closer look, and his old friend would feel very uncomfortable. It was only because Dubov was his old friend from childhood to adulthood that he reluctantly let Dubov see this thing a few times.
In Dubov's impression, it is impossible for an old friend to take this thing off lightly, unless!
Thinking of this 'unless', Dubov felt a pain in his heart and firmly rejected the 'good intentions' of the visitor.
"I've never seen that thing you said!" was Dubov's answer to the visitor.
Dubov's voice did not fall. Two hundred more gold coins appeared on the table!
"If you tell where the chain came from, it's not just yours. The dredging of this river can also be left to you!" The other side once again raised the bargaining chips.
To be honest, Dubov was also very moved, but in the end, his 'guilt' for his old friend overcame his 'greed'. He shook his head at the other man again.
Dubov thought that the other party would be annoyed, but what he didn't expect was that the other party just smiled at him and turned away.
It wasn't long before Dubov was sent to prison and sentenced to death on charges of 'tomb robbers'.
"Young Master, I did never meet the Miss Lucy you talked about!" Dubov shook his head helplessly after telling Li Zijun what had happened to him.
"Have you mentioned the shipwreck to your family?" Li Zijun pondered for a while, looked up at Dubov and asked.
"My wife died of illness a few years ago!"
"My three daughters are also married to a foreign country, and no one will talk about this even if I want to!" Dubov said as he shook his head with a wry smile.
"On which river do you beg for a living?"
"It's the Filano River, which transports grain to the capital!"
"That is to say. The shipwreck is in the middle of the Firano?"
"Exactly, it should be in the middle of the Firano River. When you want to go, the little one will show you!" Dubov nodded.
"What did you find in the Great Prince's Mansion just now?" Li Zijun smiled at Dubov and changed the subject noncommittally.
"I'm just a little skeptical, I'm not entirely sure!"
"What you see with your own eyes is not necessarily certain! What I want to hear is your suspicions. Don't worry, there is a prize for guessing right, and there is no guilt for guessing wrong, just say it!"
"I don't know if you noticed, there is a place in the Great Prince's Mansion where the plants are particularly lush?"
"Are you referring to the courtyard of Madame Ru?"
"Exactly! I think it's been overturned!"
"Of course, building a house requires turning over the land, is there anything wrong with that?"
"The problem is that the scope of their consolidation is a bit large!" Dubov pointed at Li Zijun.
"You want to say. What we've been looking for is at the feet of that lady?"
"Quite possibly!"
"That's a problem!" Li Zijun sighed a little helplessly.
"Okay, leave it alone!
"'Monkey', you take Dubov to rest first. Be sure to keep an eye on his safety, I'm worried about Lucy's tricks!"
"Don't worry!" the monkey patted his chest confidently. Hooked up with Dubov and walked out of the study.
No sooner had 'Monkey' and Dubov left than Felton and Bunian came in from outside.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Filton and Bunian looked concerned and walked quickly to Li Zijun's approach.
"It's okay! It's okay! It's just burning out my clothes!" Li Zijun smiled and waved his hand to the two.
"You two came just in time. I've got something to ask you. Which of you knows about 'Tangram'?"
Felton and Bunian looked at each other blankly, and then shook their heads at Li Zijun together.
"What is a tangram?" Felton asked curiously.
"I don't know!" Li Zijun smiled and told Lucy how he met tonight. I told the two of them about it.
"That's what Lucy learned about the world's 'tangrams'!"
"You can get this out of just a few death row inmates. Isn't your luck a little better?"
"Maybe I'll be transferred!" Li Zijun looked at Bunian and raised his eyebrows funny.
Bunian, who was already becoming more and more familiar with Li Zijun, let go of his worries when he saw this scene.
"Felton, I'm going to trouble you again!" After seeing Bunian's smile, Li Zijun's gaze turned to Felton again.
"In three days, I'll give you an affirmative answer!" Felton nodded solemnly to Li Zijun.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry!
"Understood, young master!" Felton was stunned for a moment, understanding Li Zijun's intentions.
"Do you recognize this thing?" Li Zijun pondered for a while, and then showed the 'seabed fragrant wood' in front of the three of them.
"Where did you get this thing, you wouldn't suspect it was what you call a 'tangram', would you?"
Hearing this, Li Zijun nodded slightly:
"To be honest, I got this thing a few days ago. At the time, Archmage Armstrong guessed that it was a quarter of the treasure map, and I tried not to mention it to anyone else until I found the other three parts!"
"I listened to his advice!" Speaking of this, Li Zijun touched his nose with an embarrassed expression.
"Then how could you suspect that it was a 'tangram', or rather part of a 'tangram'?" said Bunian, turning the subject away with a grimace.
"Because before I entered the Grand Prince's Palace, His Majesty mentioned it to me twice and promised me a throne!"
"The reason why we are now able to enter and leave the Great Prince's Mansion at will is that it has almost played a decisive role!" Li Zijun raised his finger and pointed to the 'Underwater Fragrant Wood'.
"It's no wonder that you have such speculations. The question is: how can we verify this guess of yours?" Filton frowned:
"Archmage Armstrong's side, for whatever reason, we can't turn to him anymore!"
"Young Master, will the Night Elves be?" Bunian flashed and raised his head to remind Li Zijun.
"yes, why did I forget about them?!" the excited Li Zijun slapped his thigh and Felton's thigh hard.
"Young Master, next time you are excited, can you please pat your thigh?" Filton grinned and protested to Li Zijun.
"Not next time, not next time!" Li Zijun said with a smile and winked at Bunian, causing both Bunian and Baldwin to smile wryly.
While everyone was laughing, the 'monkey' walked in from outside with Catherine and Van Lundin.
"Old Fan, why are you still here, if you have any mistakes, how can I explain to Elder Susan?" Li Zijun teased him as he helped him sit down.
"What is there to explain to her, I don't need her to go wherever I want!" said Fan Lunding, blushing and stubbornly.
"Elder Susan, why are you worried about Old Fan coming to me?!Why are you still here?" Li Zijun glanced at Fan Lunding and pretended to look behind him.
"Susan, I" Listening to Li Zijun's words, Fan Lunding immediately stood up from his chair and turned around to explain to Susan. But what he didn't expect was that there was only one 'monkey' behind him!
"Stinky boy, are you kidding me?"
"Sit down, I'm afraid my wife has nothing to be ashamed of!" Li Zijun smiled and helped Fan Lunding back to his seat.
"Elizabeth's stuff, I found it!" Van Lunding's argument was stiffly pushed back by Li Zijun's words.
"Where?" Van Lundin's attention was immediately diverted.
"This is!" Li Zijun pointed to the box he had placed on the shelf.
"There's no hurry about this matter, you can help me take a look first, what is this?" Li Zijun took the 'seabed fragrant wood' and handed it to Fan Lunding.
"It's rare to see such a large piece of seabed fragrant wood, where did you get this good thing?Hey, why does it seem to be painted on it?"
"Then have you ever heard of 'Tangram', the Emperor's 'Tangram'?" Li Zijun, who was almost 'desperate', made his last effort.
"Christopher the Great's 'Tangram'? You say it's the Emperor's 'Tangram'?" Van Lundin's excited expression instantly ignited the hope of everyone in the room.
"You don't want to sue me, this is the 'Tangram', right?" asked Fan Lunding, shaking his hands, to Li Zijun.
"I really want to, but I can't!" Li Zijun looked at Fan Lunding and shook his head slightly. (To be continued......)
