Fang Zhongjin took out a note from under the paperweight on the desk, and it was indeed Lu'er's handwriting: Really smart, you found out so quickly!

Fang Zhongjin knew that Lu'er made so much trouble, and he wouldn't just say such nonsense. He hurriedly flipped through the piece of paper, and sure enough, he saw a paragraph written on the back.

"I have very important things to do in this time. When the matter is done, it will definitely make you feel good, Brother Jin. Sister stays. ”

Fang Zhongjin saw this text and was surprised. Lu'er turned out to be nothing more than an inconspicuous girl in a brothel in the capital. Her background is extremely simple, she has followed her all the way, and she has never said anything big. Why did you suddenly leave yourself half a year ago?

Fang Zhongjin also knew that Lu'er was not a girl who didn't know the importance of it, so he had to temporarily hold back his anxiety and walk around in this mansion to check. But I didn't find anything strange anymore.

In this way, in the evening, the little girl Yingzi brought her mother's cooking. It's just steamed anchovies, salt-grilled sea crabs, white wine grass heads, and bamboo sunflower mushroom soup. These dishes look bland, but the ingredients are rare and fresh, so it is not necessary to mention that they are delicious.

Fang Zhongjin couldn't help but ask Xiao Yingzi, "Do you have enough money for your dishes?" because he knew that although these ingredients were not abalone ginseng winged belly, they were not easy to obtain.

Xiaoying's eyes widened when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "We all eat ordinary on weekdays, and we are never greedy for food money." It's because the master is back, my mother went to buy the dishes!"

Fang Zhongjin smiled bitterly when he heard this, everyone in this family is honest. They are always nervous about themselves, and they need to be very skillful in talking to the family. Fang Zhongjin said helplessly: "I mean, after so many months, the money left by the young lady may not be enough to spend." If you are short of money, speak to me. ”

Fang Zhongjin, a cheap "master", has a lot of money on him. There is nothing wrong with supporting such a mansion for hundreds of years.

Xiaoying smiled and said, "Miss left a lot of money at the beginning, and my mother was shocked when she saw it. What's more, the shop will send the profit to the house every month. It's all my dad keeping it for the time being. Rest assured, sir, the money will never be enough. ”

Fang Zhongjin couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard it, how many magical powers did this little girl not use. I even bought a shop!

He casually asked, "What kind of business does Miss's shop run?"

Xiaoying didn't feel that her master was strange at all, and she didn't even know what the young lady's shop was doing. Just happily said: "Rouge gouache business." Because of the good quality, many official wives and ladies came to buy it. Business is booming!"

Fang Zhongjin knew in his heart that this was not what Lu'er was best at. No wonder she was able to buy so many family businesses.

After Fang Zhongjin finished eating, he dismissed Xiaoying, and after washing alone, he sat on his big bed and meditated. has only played for a big week, and the spirit on his body is all lively and lively, without any slack and tiredness. He listened again, and there was no human smell in the courtyard. The three members of the Zhang family had already fallen asleep in the lower courtyard.

Fang Zhongjin suddenly rushed out of the door and turned over and left the mansion on Qingquan Street. Like a gust of black wind, he walked on the rooftops of various houses in Ninghai City. Fang Zhongjin is going to the Fang family's old mansion to investigate again.

Fang Zhongjin once asked Lu'er to buy the old mansion in Xiafu, but don't make a big move. Sure enough, when he returned to the old mansion, he saw that the outside of the old mansion was still full of barren grass and spider silk. Even the dilapidated gate was evenly covered with a layer of dust. There is no sign of being pushed away.

Fang Zhongjin turned over and entered the wall, only to find that there was something different in the garden. The old mansion had been turned to pieces by himself and the previous mysterious man. Although it has not been renovated and repaired, the stone table and stone bench that finally fell to the ground have been helped back to their original places. The broken swing rope was also reconnected, and the original brittle stool on the swing was replaced with a new wooden plank.

The courtyard used to be a mess, but now it finally feels like a place for individuals to live. I thought it was a girl like Lu'er, and when she saw that the courtyard was so tattered, she couldn't see it after all, so she cleaned it up a little.

Fang Zhongjin involuntarily walked towards the old locust tree, waiting to get closer. I saw that although the old locust tree was also full of yellow leaves, it was not as lifeless as it used to be. It is only because the soil at its roots and stems has been re-cultivated by the careful deer that it will not be toppled at any time.

Fang Zhongjin suddenly had a great suspicion in his heart. According to the calculation of time, Lu'er mysteriously disappeared not long after he bought the old mansion. Could it be that she discovered the secrets of this old mansion?

Although she and her mysterious predecessors have found nothing, Lu'er is an extremely intelligent girl. When she came to this old mansion, she didn't intend to look for any treasures, but she was in the mood to renovate the old tree to cultivate the soil.

Maybe it's because she has different causes from her own and observes things from different angles, so she can discover the secrets she hasn't found!

Fang Zhongjin's heart thumped like a drum. He sat down under the tree and said to himself what he would do if he were a deer and saw a dying old tree that was about to fall at any moment.

Of course, it is necessary to straighten the soil, cultivate the soil, fertilize and water. But none of this will allow the deer to discover any secrets. Suddenly, Fang Zhongjin's heart moved, he casually broke off a branch and dug under the old tree for a while.

Finally, all the new soil that the deer had cultivated was dug up again. The roots of the old locust tree are thus exposed.

Fang Zhongjin carefully observed the roots of these old locust trees, and sure enough, several old roots were sawed off. Many new roots have grown. Fang Zhongjin knew that Lu'er must be worried that the old locust tree would not grow well, so he cut off some old roots. It stimulates the old locust tree to grow new roots.

Sure enough, under what should have been the thickest root, he found a porcelain jar. This porcelain jar is buried in the earth. But it also doesn't look old. I'm afraid it was buried by Lu'er himself half a year ago.

It seems that the situation has been determined, Lu'er did find the secret of the Fang family when he was tidying up the old mansion. And he has not been heard from since.

Fang Zhongjin's heart suddenly felt like he had been hit hard. He never believed that Lu'er would betray him and flee with his secrets. Fang Zhongjin immediately removed the porcelain altar from the soil and unplugged the tightly stuffed wooden cork at the mouth of the altar.

I saw that there was a piece of letter paper in the porcelain altar. Look at the color of the paper, it shouldn't be something from more than ten years ago. Fang Zhongjin opened the letter paper and saw that it was written:

Brother Jin:

First of all, please trust me no matter what.

I didn't tell you before that I found the secret of your house for a reason. Now that you've found this place, you must know that the secret has been discovered by me. You are so smart, and your martial arts are getting stronger and stronger. It's impossible to hide this from you.

I'm guessing you've already thought that I was trying to revive this old tree. But I didn't expect that when I cut off the dead roots, I found that there was an old porcelain altar among the old roots. It seems that the old root swallowed the porcelain altar whole as it grew.

The porcelain altar was shattered when I took it out, and the secret hidden in it was indeed in my hands. Now that I'm gone, no one can trust me.

I just ask Brother Jin to remember the days when we shared weal and woe in the past. Believe me no matter what. I'll come back in a while. When the time comes, I will tell you the reason in detail.

Sister stays.
