Mrs. Du was so surprised that before she could speak, the cat had already jumped off the table and jumped into the corner of the wall.

"I'm sorry, Qianqian has been in the bookcase for a long time, so I need to breathe. Yan Saburo's face was as usual, "It's very well-behaved and won't break things." ”

"It's fine. Mrs. Du laughed dryly, for the sake of the eighteen thousand taels, she had to endure something.

There are many children of wealthy families who have quirks, and it is nothing to carry a cat with them.

Yan Saburo pointed to the desk: "This is it?"

"It's the place where my grandson died. Mrs. Du wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief again, "He lay on the table, and the people thought he had fallen asleep." ”

There were some scratches on the desktop, which were thought to be left by Zhou Dahu before he left. Other than that, there are no anomalies in the study.

Everything is in its rightful place.

If Zhou Dahu did not die of natural causes, what else did the murderer who wanted his life take away?

It's not easy to check for a while.

Yan Saburo flipped through the shelves casually, just in time to grab an account book.

This reminded him: "Mrs. Du, the turnover has not been effective these days, why don't you sell some shop and field property to pay for the money?" Selling the ancestral house was the last step after the mountains and rivers were exhausted. "I heard that half of the auxiliary streets of Kaiyang Street belong to the Zhou family. "That's a good shop for daily gold.

Li Kailiang told him earlier about the division of these shops.

A large family like the Zhou family has been rooted in Shengyi for a long time, and the assets purchased must be diverse, and it is better to sell land than to sell ancestral homes at this time.

"There?" Mrs. Du shook her head, "I arrived at the Li family two years ago who was doing business with my grandson. Later, my grandson must have thought about taking it back, how could the Li family be willing?"

Two years ago, Zhou Dahu sold all the shops that were so valuable? Yan Saburo raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the Zhou family was also short of money at that time." "Otherwise, the shop is now a real prosperous shop, and the money will come when the door is open, and the price can be increased by seven or eight times, does the Zhou family still need to worry about the money?

"At that time, the family was calm and there was nothing going on. Mrs. Du was angry, "He secretly resisted the shop and didn't tell us, a few days ago I rummaged through the title deeds only to find that they were no longer surnamed Zhou!"

In other words, two years ago, Zhou Dahu was suddenly in urgent need of money, and it was a large amount of money, and he couldn't tell his family.

This Zhou Dahu is also very willful. "Where's the money?"

Mrs. Du shook her head. When Yan Saburo saw the blankness on her face, he knew that she was not lying.

At this moment, the white cat suddenly jumped onto the multi-treasure shelf and stretched out its forepaws to scratch the drawer.

This shelf has objects on top and a lattice drawer underneath, which is very practical.

Yan Saburo didn't notice this move for the first time, and the white cat meowed.

"I'm sorry. The boy walked over, "Can I look at this drawer?"

"Please. "After signing the contract, this study is also his, and Mrs. Du doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

Yan Saburo opened the small drawer, and there was only one thing inside.

A wooden plaque.

His gaze froze, and he couldn't move it for a long time, and his heart surged with shock.

This brand, he and Chitose are all too familiar:

Fog Hidden Order.

Hide the pass token of the sea country!

The brand is so well preserved that there is not even a single crack. Yan Saburo had heard the ghosts say that the pass was based on the new branches that sprouted from the sacred tree, and some brands could pass through the fog wall three times, while others could pass through four times.

His own sign was shattered after leaving the Hidden Nation and had to be discarded. And although the one in front of me is complete, the color has turned white, so it can probably be used for the last time, right?

The sign appears here to mean one thing:

Zhou Dahu has also been to the Tibetan country!

No wonder he needed a lot of money. The items sold in the Hidden Country Linlang Market and official stores are all calculated in units of "10,000".

Yan Saburo's heart suddenly beat two beats faster. So is Zhou Dahu a ghost, or an ordinary seafarer?

He turned his head and asked Mrs. Du: "In the summer and autumn of the previous year, did Mr. Zhou go to sea?"

Mrs. Du was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Did he say where he was going?"

"Just following the caravan to a certain sea country, he said that he wanted to expand the source of customers. ”

Yes, Zhou Dahu himself is a maritime businessman. When he went to sea, his family was not surprised.

Yan Saburo thought for a while and asked, "So when he returned from overseas, did he bring anything rare back?"

Most of the seafarers who take great risks to go to the Hidden Nation have only one goal:

Wealth and danger are sought.

The poor want to turn over, the rich want to be richer, and the strangers want to get their hands on rare spiritual objects and magic weapons.

Obviously, Zhou Dahu is the kind of person in the middle.

"Rare things?" said Madame Du, "those small countries on the sea are rich in strange things. He brought back a lot of them every time he went as a gift to me and my children. ”

Yan Saburo nodded: "Okay, let's go sign the deed." ”

It seems that Zhou Dahu has a lot of expenses in the Hidden Sea Country.

What did he buy back?

After walking around Zhou's house for so long, it was almost dark. Yan Saburo took the excuse of changing clothes, took the bookcase to a secluded place, and picked up the cat: "Help me." "She loves to accumulate money so much, she will definitely not hand over all the money, and she must have left a copy of the bottom of the box.

The white cat hid around and refused to let him hug: "Don't help!"

The stinky boy is worried about her private money, so shameless!

"Let's make a condition. Yan Saburo also knew that he couldn't force her. The asura and the owner of the wooden bell are on an equal footing, and neither can force the other to do things for himself.

"Don't you help...... Hmm, wait. Cat Liuli's eyes flashed with ill intentions, "Any condition is fine." ”

"Except for breaking the contract with the wooden bell. "Other than that, he has nothing to fear.

"Hmph. It rolled its eyes. The stinky boy is still too tender, and since he said so, she is welcome, "Okay then, I'll reluctantly help you once." But this money is only for your emergency use, and you have to return to me when you are done, a big son can't be missing!"

"Good. Yan Saburo said succinctly, "Conditions?"

"Remember. The cat grinned as if she was smiling, and she didn't forget to lick her lips, "Once I mention it in the future, you must obey!"

Yan Saburo has no objection.

By this time, the sun had set, and Chitose appeared in front of him, and then pulled out a dozen silver tickets from the crocodile tambourine.

"Well, eighteen thousand taels, all counted. "I don't have one more.

Yan Saburo pulled the silver ticket away, her fingertips tightened unconsciously, and it took a while before she reluctantly let go.

Ah, the lovely silver tickets, she won't see them for a while.

......

went out to set up a message, and by the way, I looked at the house, and I actually bought the house back.

However, Yan Saburo was kind enough to allow the Zhou family to live in the mansion for another five days before moving out.
