Wu Zhengdao had a calm face and said: "Young Master Hua likes to ask people to draw turtles, and it doesn't matter, but you don't have to forget, today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and if you can't hand over the murderer by tomorrow, we have to arrest Mrs. Zun as a murderer."

Hua Bushi said: "This doesn't need to be reminded by Master Wu, this young master remembers it." It's just that I'm afraid that the murderer will be handed over when the time comes, but you don't have the ability to do it. ”

Wu Zhengdao said: "What does Young Master Hua mean by this?"

Hua Bushi didn't answer, stretched his waist, and said, "This day seems to be a little cloudy, let's set off now." Ling'er, go and lead the horse. ”

In fact, the sun is shining at the moment, and it is no different from before, but everyone knows that this young master is extremely tricky, and even Yuan Gongyi was angry with him.

Bai Yiling brought the horse, Hua Bushi stepped on the horse, and the people in the four factions also rode their respective mounts.

Wu Zhengdao said: "I don't know where Young Master Hua is going?"

Hua Bushi said: "Young Master Ben suddenly remembered that Mr. Ma Da seemed to have told me that he had some festivals with that Chai Dashan man, and the murderer might be hiding in Chai Dashan's house, so let's go and find it!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Chai Dashanren's home is on the street in the east of Nanao Town, and it is not difficult to find.

This is a large area of blue bricks and red tiles, and there are at least hundreds of courtyards, which almost makes the entire East Street a special carriage and horse passage for the Chai family. At the intersection of the street, there is a huge house door with a height of a few feet, and there is a plaque with bronzing characters hanging on the door, and the inscription is "Nanao Chai Garden" four big characters.

This one house alone is much more elegant than the county yamen of Nanao Town, as long as you see the gate of Chai Yuan, you can imagine that the real owner of this town is the Chai family, not the Ming Dynasty.

got off the mount in front of the dismount stone in front of the door, Hua Bushi, Wu Zhengdao and other people walked directly to the door. Soon after, they were sitting in the hospitality hall in the front hall of the chai garden.

This living room is also more spacious than the hall of ordinary large families, the seats and furniture in the hall are complete, and there seem to be three or two ink paintings of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall at random, but there are no vases and antique shelves and other ornaments that ordinary people like to place.

However, Hua Bushi can see that the seemingly simple tables, chairs and furniture in the hall are all carved from "yellow rosewood", the so-called "yellow rosewood" is a rare wood produced in overseas Qiongzhou, which is much more precious than rosewood, only a few pieces of furniture in this hall, if the value is only no less than thousands of taels of silver.

The few inconspicuous ink paintings on the wall are all authentic works of famous artists in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and they are even more valuable.

Hiding luxury in the ordinary is the style of the real rich and wealthy, and those ordinary halls with all kinds of antique vases are completely incomparable with this living room of the Chai family.

Just seeing the layout of this living room, Hua Bushi already knew that the Chai family in Nanao was known as the richest man in Guangdong, and it was definitely worthy of its reputation.

The person who brought Hua Bushi and the others into the living room from the door was a young man in his twenties, who claimed to be the second housekeeper of Chai Yuan, and others called him "Mr. Xie Er", and as soon as everyone sat down in the hall, the head of Chai Yuan came.

From the outside, Chai Lin was about forty years old, wearing a black and blue satin tuanhua jacket, a melon skin hat on his head, and thick-soled cloth boots, and his clothes and clothes were no different from those of ordinary rich people. It is rumored that he is over 50 years old, perhaps because of his thin body, which makes him appear younger than his actual age.

In fact, this Chai Dashan man is indeed very thin, and Zhong Bulao, the "immortal" of the "Dinghu faction", is a fat man, and his body shape is at least equal to two Chai Lin.

However, if Zhong Bulao wants to compare with the person behind Chai Dashanren, he is not fat.

The man followed Chai Lin into the living room, wearing a gray cloth short coat, like a servant of Chai Mansion, but the hair on his head was combed into a square bun, which was quite peculiar. With every step he took, everyone felt that the ground seemed to shake, just because this person was too fat, and in terms of stature, he was even more burly than the two Zhong Immortal combined.

Chai Lin walked into the hall, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "I heard the magpie chirping early in the morning, Chai Lin was thinking that there would be distinguished guests to come today, and sure enough, before noon, there was the head of Wu, the master of Huanglian Nunnery and the elder Zhong Da, the three high-level drivers on the chivalrous road in Guangdong Province came to visit, which really made me'Nanao Chai Garden' flourish!"

Wu Zhengdao and Zhong Bulao hurriedly clasped their fists and returned the salute, and Master Huang Lian also clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name lightly.

Chai Lin's gaze turned to Hua Bushi, and said: "This son has a strange appearance, a majestic spirit, like a dragon and a phoenix among people, he must be the famous 'evil dog boy' Young Master Hua, Chai Lin is polite!"

Hua Bushi returned the salute and said, "Don't dare." ”

This Chai Dashan man has a lotus tongue, and he speaks better than he sings, but Hua Bushi still admires that as soon as he meets, he can recognize the masters of the three factions and his "evil dog boy". This Nanao Chai family is not a martial arts family, but the head of the family, Chai Lin, is very shrewd and seems to be no stranger to the characters on the rivers and lakes.

Chai Dashan raised his hand and gave way, and everyone sat down again. Chai Lin also sat down on the main seat, but the fat man stood behind him silently, like a mountain of meat. This person is not only burly, but his face is also full of horizontal meat, but he has no expression, in his eyes, it seems that there is only the master, and the masters in the room are not in the eyes of this person.

Hua Bushi's gaze stayed on this fat man for a moment, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Chai Dashan laughed for a while, then turned to Wu Zhengdao and asked, "I don't know if you masters are coming to my Chai Garden today, is there anything important?"

Wu Zhengdao said: "I have heard the name of Nanao Chai Mansion for a long time, I have wanted to come to visit for a long time, and today Young Master Hua proposed to come, and the old man and the two colleagues also came over to join in the fun." ”

Until this time, Wu Zhengdao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this eldest young master, and in front of Chai Lin, of course, he couldn't say that he was here to find "Panlong Jue", so he had to push the reason onto Hua Bushi.

Chai Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this. In his mind, Wu Zhengdao and Huang Lianshi were both the heads of the same faction, and Zhong Bulao was also a senior master among the four major factions in the Guangdong Realm, and he must be the leader of the other party's group, but he didn't expect that the young master Hua Bushi was the leader, and the three masters were all just followers.

Chai Lin couldn't help but look at Hua Bushi carefully, but saw this "evil dog boy" sitting on a chair, cocking one foot, and said: "Young Master Ben is here today, firstly, to see the rich and magnificent Nanao Chai Garden, and secondly, to see a treasure." ”

He paused slightly, and then said: "I have already seen the grandeur of this Chai Garden, but that treasure depends on whether the good people of Chai Dashan are willing to take it out and lend it to Young Master Ben." ”

Chai Lin smiled and said, "Chai Lin has nothing else at home, there are a lot of various antiques and treasures, but I don't know which one Young Master Hua wants to see?"

Hua Bushi's face was still a leisurely look, and he said: "That treasure is called 'Colorful Glass Beads', Chai Dashan people won't say that your mansion doesn't have this thing, right?"

As soon as Hua Bushi said this, the smile on Chai Lin's face froze suddenly, but Wu Zhengdao's eyes lit up.

Judging from Chai Lin's expression, there must be something hidden in the Chai Garden. The name "Colorful Glass Beads", Wu Zhengdao is the first time he has heard of it, and even he, the head of a faction who has been in Guangdong for a long time, does not know, if Hua Bushi is far away in Wuyang City in Xiangjing but can hear that there is such a thing in Chai Yuan, it is unlikely, so most of it was Mr. Ma Da told the young master the day before yesterday.

Since the name of this object is "Colorful Glass Beads", the word "seven" left on the chair by Mr. Martha when he was dying also has an explanation.

Chai Lin had been smiling before, but at this time, his face sank, and he said: "'Colorful glass beads', there is indeed this thing in the firewood garden, but I don't know where Young Master Hua learned about it, why do you want to see this thing?"

Hua Bushi said: "A friend mentioned this treasure to me, and said that Chai Shanren is stingy, and he must not show it to others, but I don't believe it, and this young master has always been curious about all kinds of treasures in the world, so he specially came to ask for a look, Chai Shanren will not refuse, right?"

Chai Lin was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It's not that Chai Lin cherishes himself, it's just that that thing is not an ordinary antique treasure, regardless of its value, it is quite meaningful to my Chai family, and it can't be easily shown, please forgive Master Hua!"

Seeing that this Chai Dashan refused, Young Master Hua was not in a hurry at all, and said unhurriedly: "We came from afar, just to take a look at this treasure on your mansion, even if Young Master Ben's face is not big enough, Master Wu, Master Huanglian Nunnery and Mr. Zhong are all seniors in the rivers and lakes of Guangdong, don't they even have the qualifications to take a look at the treasure of the Chai family?"

He glanced at Wu Zhengdao as he spoke, and said, "Master Wu, am I right?"

Wu Zhengdao stroked his beard and said, "What Young Master Hua said is right, I came from afar, just to watch this treasure, so I asked the head of the Chai family to take out the 'colorful glass beads', let us take a look!"

Although Nanao Chai Mansion is a wealthy family, with the strength of its family, it is still far from the four major sects on the white road in Guangdong.

This time, he came to the door and forcibly demanded the treasures treasured in the other party's house, which was a very unreasonable move, but at this time, Wu Zhengdao had made up his mind that he must see the "Colorful Glass Beads", which is related to the treasure of Whale Swallowing Island.

Chai Lin's face showed a look of helplessness, and he said, "In this way, do you have to see this thing?"
