"The box really isn't with me!"

I don't know if this is the first time Chu Ziyan has said this sentence today, Han Yue and Gu Xin are still frowning, three hours have passed since the tragedy of Yi Bao Xing. The three of them were now in Cold Moon's home, and in front of them was the letterhead dyed red with dozens of lives.

Gu Xin was the first to see this letter, and it was particularly eye-catching when it was nailed to the wall with a knife. So she was the most strange person, "These people knew we were going back?"

"Yes, and they should know what this box is about, just like Boss Qian. Han Yue agreed with Gu Xin's words. But now that the enemy is in the dark, they are completely at a disadvantage.

The more Chu Ziyan listened, the more anxious he became, and shouted: "But now we don't know anything except the name of this box, and they left this letter to make it clear that the box is in our hands." ”

Han Yue rubbed her forehead and said, "So we have a question now, that is, where is the box?"

As soon as he thought of this, Han Yue's heart began to complain, he thought it was a very simple matter, but now it seems that this may not be the case, and judging from the other party's style of doing things, they are definitely not good people.

"There is a possibility. Gu Xin said suddenly.

"What?" asked Cold Moon.

Gu Xin looked at Han Yue and said, "So far, there are four people who have come into contact with the box, you, Chu Ziyan, Qian Deyi, and one person. ”

"That's right! Chu Ziyan jumped up, thinking that Han Yue had said that he had taken the box to find the king carpenter in the east of the city, "The king carpenter in the east of the city." ”

Gu Xin nodded and continued: "And now that you and Chu Ziyan are here, Qian Deyi has been arrested, and the box is not on these three people. So there is only one possibility, and that is that the box is in the hands of the last person. ”

Hanyue touched his nose and wondered: "But he told me the secret of the box at that time, so if he said that, he could have told me that he didn't know the secret of the box at that time, and then just hide the box, instead of spending a lot of effort to make a fake one for me." ”

The corners of Gu Xin's mouth curled, and he suddenly smiled: "This is his cleverness, do you think, who is the person who received this letter now?"

"I!" Han Yue's eyes showed a hint of realization, and he spat out a word. looked at Gu Xin with a hint of praise with a smile, "Sanniang is really wise." ”

"What, you haven't said why. Chu Ziyan was in a hurry, scratching his ears and cheeks, like a monkey.

Han Yue stood up, patted Chu Ziyan on the shoulder, and said, "Let me ask you, if you have something that you see that is particularly valuable, but you don't want others to know, then what is the best way?"

Chu Ziyan scratched his head and wondered, "Hide it?"

"No!" Hanyue said, "It's to make people think it's in someone else's hands." ”

"You're saying that the king carpenter not only changed the box, but also made people think that it was us, and all the troublemakers came to us. Chu Ziyan said so many words in one breath, and hurriedly took a sip of water.

Han Yue and Gu Xin nodded at the same time. Chu Ziyan said again: "Then why are we still stunned now, hurry up and get the box back!"

"This is natural. Gu Xin and Han Yue replied at the same time.

Mu Lang Xuan, this is a wood shop that is not well-known.

In the capital, there are more than a dozen woodware shops like this, but few people know that only this one is the oldest wooden shop in the capital, and it should have a history of 100 years by now. However, the owner of this shop, like this one, is not well-known, and few people know that there is a wooden shop except for the neighbors around the shop.

The reason why Hanyue knows is that he himself is a person who likes to drink, and if two people who like to drink meet together, they always have nothing to talk about. And Carpenter Wang is just such a drunkard.

Today, as usual, Han Yue came to Mulangxuan with a pot of wine.

Mu Langxuan's door was open as usual, and there were no customers as usual, while his boss, a bad old man who looked to be almost fifty years old, was sleeping on the counter. Next to him was a flask from last night's drink.

"Now I finally understand why this store is still so depressed after so many years of opening. Of course, this sentence was said by Chu Ziyan, before he entered the door, he had already heard Han Yue talk about the history of this shop, and I heard that the owner of this shop had repaired antiques for the emperor back then, but these are already history, aren't they.

"You're wrong, you'll be shocked if I tell you what's in this store, keep it. Han Yue followed Chu Ziyan into the store and pointed to a small wooden boat not far away. "Do you know what this is?"

"Cut, isn't it just a wooden boat!" Chu Ziyan looked at the thing in front of him with disdain.

"This is a model of a ship that traveled across the ocean designed by my father for the first emperor back then, boy, do you know if you don't know how not to talk nonsense?" He had already woken up just as Cold Moon stepped through the door.

Carpenter Wang looked at the model of the ship in front of him, as if he was looking at his beloved child, but finally sighed, "It's a pity that the first emperor died early, and my father finally failed to realize his wish and died depressed." ”

After Carpenter Wang looked at the model a few more times, he didn't want to think about these sad things, turned his head to look at the wine jug in Han Yue's hand, and laughed: "Boy, come to see me again bad old man, what kind of wine is this time?"

Han Yue shook the wine jug in his hand and put it on the table: "The drunken immortal brewing five generations who are not drunk in the building, how about it, you will get drunk when you smell the fragrance." ”

"Alright, let's talk about what you're here for. Carpenter Wang said this, but he was not polite in his hand, and directly picked up the wine jug, poured a glass directly, and drank it.

"It's still for the last box, I want to ask about that box. ”

Carpenter Wang drank halfway, put down the cup, looked at Han Yue with a solemn face, and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Han Yue smiled and said, "Is there some secret in that box, many people have wanted to get him recently." ”

Carpenter Wang looked at Han Yue strangely, stared at him for a long time before saying, "Don't you know?"

"Know what?" asked Hanyue.

"The secret of the Golden Dragon Box!"

Carpenter Wang moved a chair, sat down, and motioned for a few people to sit down, and then said: "The name of this box is the Golden Dragon Box, when you came to me that day, I didn't care at the time, just thought that someone was joking with you, but later when I checked the box, I found a dragon pattern at the bottom of the box, this dragon pattern is very small, few people can find it, and ten years ago there was a legend on the rivers and lakes." ”

"What legend?" As soon as he heard that there was a story, Chu Ziyan immediately burst out with great interest.

"Ten years ago, there was a thief in the rivers and lakes, this man has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has never missed, he hid all the things he stole in one place, and then drew a map, and then told everyone that if anyone could beat him in the technique of stealing, he would give him this map. ”

"Wouldn't everyone in the rivers and lakes want to defeat him? Chu Ziyan interjected.

Carpenter Wang glanced at him dissatisfied, Chu Ziyan hurriedly shut up, and he continued: "Yes, this incident caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes at that time, and many people in the rivers and lakes went to the place where the thief designated the game, not to go to the game, but to get that map. When they arrived, they found that the thief was dead, at the scene of the duel, and the map on his body was nowhere to be found. Everyone was shocked by the thief's death, and at the same time began to search the map until the appearance of the Golden Dragon Box. ”

"What does the Golden Dragon Box have to do with the Treasure Map?" asked Cold Moon.

"For the man who slain the thief did not take the treasure, but divided the treasure into four parts, and carved them on the four boxes, and then painted the boxes with gold dust, and painted them with black lacquer, so that he looked no different from ordinary boxes, except that there was a carved golden dragon on the bottom of this box. ”

"But how do you know so clearly?" Chu Ziyan finally couldn't help asking.

"Because one of these four boxes was made by my father. Carpenter Wang said a shocking news, "At that time, my father didn't know what it was for, but just did what the buyer asked. But after that, the news of the Golden Dragon Box spread on the rivers and lakes. He knew he had made such a thing. Recently, there has been news of this box on the rivers and lakes, and I heard that the price of a box of 100,000 taels has been offered on the black market alone. ”

"One hundred thousand taels, the treasure collected by that thief back then is not worth this amount!" Chu Ziyan said with his mouth wide open.

"Wrong, back then, the gods secretly got not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also martial arts secrets, or some peerless weapons, in short, the reason why people coveted these things is because they have what they want. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Carpenter Wang continued to drink, and it was always very troublesome for an old man to recall things so far ago. And after listening to this story, Han Yue looked at Gu Xin, and there was a trace of doubt in the eyes of both of them, since he came in, Han Yue had been observing Carpenter Wang's reaction, but he didn't see any flaws from beginning to end. Is his acting too good, or is it their guess that they are wrong.

After thinking about it for a long time, Han Yue finally spoke: "Uncle Wang, the box I brought to you a few days ago is now in my hand, do you see that it is still not the one before?"

Carpenter Wang looked at the box in front of him, looked at it upside down a few times, and smiled disapprerovitously: "That's it, what's wrong?"

Han Yue was taken aback, looked at Carpenter Wang in surprise, and said, "Are you sure this is it?"

Carpenter Wang pointed to the bottom of the wooden box and said, "There is still a gap here that I flowed in order to verify it, why, you still suspect that my old guy is dizzy, but the gold dust on the surface of this box seems to have been scraped off." In this case, the map wrapped in gold dust should have been rubbed and destroyed, didn't you make it?"

Here's the thing, the value of this box is not in the box itself, but in the map on the box, so the only clue at the moment is the person who once robbed the box.

Gu Xin of Cold Moon glanced at each other, and naturally got the other party's answer from the other party's eyes. Han Yue looked at Carpenter Wang again, stood up, and said apologetically: "Uncle Wang, I'm disturbing today, but I'm going to bring a few bottles of wine when I'm free, and we'll have a drink." ”

"Well said, well said. ”

Carpenter Wang laughed and sent a few people to the door, looking at the backs of a few people leaving, a cold wind blew, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
