On the afternoon of the second day after bidding farewell to Shen Tunan, he hurried on his way to Liaodong......

That Liaodong is a bitter cold place outside the Guan, and there are many times of the year when the weather is icy and snowy! Facing the gusty wind blowing in his face, Guo Jingsan, who was riding on a horse, unconsciously reached out and tightened the mink coat on his body—and then, still galloping forward without hesitation......

At this moment, there was only one thought in his heart: to rush to Beiyan City as soon as possible and hand over the things entrusted by Shen Tu Nan to Shen Tu Jiao!

In this way, day and night, in a hurry, at dusk on the fifth day after departure, Guo Jingsan finally arrived at Beiyan City! After entering through the west city gate, he asked passers-by where the "bear house" was? Some enthusiastic people immediately pointed it out to him -- it was the majestic mansion in the south of the city!

Guo Jingsan just wanted to go straight to the door to visit—and in the blink of an eye, he tightened the reins of his horse again! At that moment, he thought to himself: this is covered in dust like this, and at such a time when it is not very suitable for a visit...... Forget it, let's find an inn to settle down first, and it's not too late to go back tomorrow!

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the weather seemed to be much warmer!

After eating and drinking enough and resting all night, Guo Jingsan deliberately freshened up and changed into clean clothes...... He also found a ghostwriter and wrote a post. Look at the preparations are ready to stop, and only then do the third master pacing leisurely - walking to the bear house to visit!

After a while, Tu Hongjiao, who was patrolling around her home and instructing the servants and servants to work, suddenly received a sticker from the door! She looked at it and saw that the sticker was written on it in a dignified manner: Shentu Bei!

In that blink of an eye, the look on Tu Hongjiao's face couldn't help but change slightly! Rao is she is usually a strange woman who is dominant, and her heart at this moment is still like being strangled!

Tu Hongjiao quickly controlled his gaffe, turned his head and instructed the housekeeper: immediately welcome the guest into the study for tea—— invite the guest to the study, usually to discuss the arrangements for confidential matters......

A moment later, the radiant and well-dressed Guo Jingsan, holding a gift box in his hand, entered proudly! Under the guidance of the butler, he went straight to the study of the bear house......

As soon as he entered the study, Guo Jingsan raised his eyes and saw that on the main seat, there was a half-aged in her thirties and forties. When the hostess saw him, her face suddenly changed suddenly, and she scolded sharply: "Where are you a bastard, and how dare you pretend to be my dear relative?"

The reason why he deliberately used a fake name on top of the sticker was to attract the attention of his master, so that he could meet and explain things clearly......

However, the other party would have such a violent reaction - this is really a bit unexpected, even inexplicable!

At the moment, in order to avoid the deepening of the misunderstanding of the other party, Guo Jingsan had no choice but to truthfully tell the reason for pretending to be someone else's name without authorization......

From beginning to end, Tu Hongjiao kept staring at him with sharp eyes...... With her rich life experience, in the end, it was finally decided that this person who came out of nowhere was not lying!

So she began to entertain her guests with hospitality, and then asked him what he was doing.

Guo Jingsan told her the ending of Shen Tu Nan with sorrow......

Hearing such bad news, Tu Hongjiao (formerly known as Shen Tujiao) couldn't help but feel sad and choked up and couldn't speak!

After a long time, she stopped her grief a little, and said in a deep voice: "My brother has done too much evil, and he deserves this ending—and this is also a helpless thing......

At this point, Guo Jingsan presented the gift box with both hands and said, "Mrs. Xiong, this is what Brother Zun entrusted to him on his deathbed. Now, Guo Mou is fortunate to live up to the trust - he deliberately returns these things to you!"

Mrs. Xiong thanked her repeatedly, took the gift box with both hands, and said with a little melancholy: "My eldest brother never gives me gifts...... Unexpectedly, when the yin and yang are about to be separated, they will think so much about the love of brothers and sisters!"

Guo Jingsan heard her words a little strange, and his curiosity suddenly rose - therefore, he urged Tu Hongjiao to open the gift box on the spot in order to verify her brother's relics!

Tu Hongjiao is also a person who has always been quick to talk, she felt that Guo Jingsan's proposal made sense - at that moment, she immediately reached out to open the lid of the gift box and took out the two things......

Seeing those two things, Tu Hongjiao unconsciously mixed joy and sorrow...... She skillfully broke open the jade villain, but suddenly found that there were only two golden beans in that belly!

Suddenly, a cloud of doubt enveloped her heart......

Mrs. Xiong, who is quite a city government, quietly opened the small and delicate golden lock of longevity, and pulled out a note from it!

Unfolded the note, there were two beans simply drawn on it - the upper one read: North, and the other one on the bottom read: South! Tu Hongjiao, who had excellent eyes, keenly noticed that there was a cross next to the "North Bean", and the "South Bean" was a hook next to it! (The "cross" and "hook" here both refer to a symbol)

Seeing this information, Tu Hongjiao's heart immediately sank again! She immediately became clear: why did that jade villain only have two golden beans in his stomach!

In any case, we must give a good thanks to this visitor! So Madame Bear immediately ordered: Take ten gold ingots—she will give them to Mr. Guo!

Guo Jingsan wanted to refuse politely, but after thinking about it: The wealth in your giant whale gang is either robbed or robbed-Lao Tzu just took a little today, and it is not too much! So, after a little politeness, he simply smiled.

......

After sending Guo Jingsan away, Tu Hongjiao packed up those treasures and went straight to a secret room. She lit a candle and took the piece of paper with the two beans on it and toasted it slightly......

Immediately, in the blank space under the note, a line of small words appeared: Brother is still alive, little sister don't worry!

Seeing such a secret letter, Tu Hongjiao couldn't help but let out a long breath! However, at the same time, her heart suddenly felt - that burst of heart-piercing pain!

Yes, big brother, he should still be alive...... But, what about the second brother?

In the stomach of the jade villain, there is a golden bean with "Ah Bei" written on it! Moreover, next to the "North Douzi" on the painting, there is clearly a "cross—— which is enough to show that my second brother, Shen Tubei, is no longer alive!

After passing through Jingsan, he rushed to Liaodong to return the things entrusted by Shentu Nan on his deathbed...... However, what is surprising is that there is such a strange information hidden inside those two items!
