Yan Cigui

Chapter 71 God is good for his own good

“Hey,” Shan Shen said happily, “I can’t tell that your ancestors really have some treasures.”

Li Yuanfa stood on the opposite side and couldn't see the situation inside at all. He thought to himself, "Can the gold bricks be a treasure?" He chuckled: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Just take a look at it, don't say anything."

Shan Shen loves books, and he was very interested in it. He simply opened it and took one to read the cover.

At this sight, his expression instantly became serious.

 Reading one book after another, he read three or five books in a row. He cursed: "They are all banned books by the imperial court. Li Yuanfa, you are so brave!"

 As the lid of the box opened, Li Yuanfa also discovered the clues.

 The top level is filled with books.

He was muttering, "It's really a hidden gold brick, it's so well concealed." Little did he know that Shan Shen didn't notice the real gold underneath, but instead flipped through several banned books.

 “Impossible!” Li Yuanfa rushed forward anxiously.

He rummaged desperately in the box without looking at the titles of the books. He threw the books all over the floor, but couldn't find what he wanted.

 He had to dig through another box, but there were still books.

　　It’s full and stuffed tightly.

Li Yuanfa's face turned white, then turned white again.

 What's going on?

 Where is the gold?

The Wang brothers were also dumbfounded when they heard the word "forbidden book".

 "Stealing two boxes" and "hiding banned books" are completely different crimes!

They shouted anxiously: "We brothers really don't know anything. If we had known that this stupid thing was inside, who would have earned those dozens of taels of silver!"

Mr. Xi was also stunned.

He only met the gentleman once, and the rest was all what Li Yuanfa said.

Now it doesn't matter whether the gentleman made a mistake or Li Yuanfa was deceived. In short, it must be cleared up.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Master Qingtian, I just helped out out of kindness, and didn't even take the money for my hard work. The things belong to Mr. Li, and they have nothing to do with me!"

Li Yuanfa stared blankly at the books.

What did Mr. Zhu Si ask him to dig up banned books for?

　　Is Mr. Zhu Si’s information wrong?

 No, that’s not right!

 Until now, he didn't react.

Jumping up from the ground, Li Yuanfa rushed towards Gao An: "It's you, you framed me!

You have dug up the real thing a long time ago, knowing that the Wang brothers will come to steal it, so you put these deadly things in it and bury the box back!

 Spit it out and give it back to me! "

Gao An easily held Li Yuanfa up and handed him over to the Yamen servant.

"That's nonsense," Gao An pointed at Li Yuanfa and said to Shan Shen, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. The villain really wants to frame him, and the most he can do is put some rocks and mud in a box. These books banned by the imperial court, There’s no way the villain can get it.”

Shan Shen understands this principle very well.

Let alone a businessman in Gao'an, even Shan Shen, who loves books, only sees one or two unique books by chance, and passes them at a glance without being able to read them at all.

 As for filling two suitcases…

 Hey, his head is not heavy, he is crazy and wants to die!

　　It would be too difficult to frame people with this.

Li Yuanfa couldn't get away from the yamen, and his eyes almost bled when he looked at the books.

If they are all gold bricks, he can't prove that the things are his, and there is no Mr. Zhu Si.

Master Zhu Si heard that they entered Shuntian Mansion, and he would definitely find a way to ask Shan Shen to release them, and take the gold bricks back after all the procedures were completed.

 Hgao'an will not be cheap anyway.

As for him, Li Yuanfa, it's amazing that he spent a few days in a cell and was still a good man when he came out.

 But the situation is different when it comes to banned books. Mr. Zhu Si will definitely be eager to clear it up, and the Yamen will not let him, the "master of the book," go.

 He is going to be finished.

No longer concerned about concealing anything, Li Yuanfa shouted anxiously: "What's in our box is obviously gold bricks! Gao An, please return my gold bricks!"

"Sir," Gao An only complained to Shan Shen, "he is such a bad person! Two large boxes of gold bricks are not enough even if the villain sells his ancestral property. He is blackmailing the villain!"

Li Yuanfa was filled with anger and spoke arbitrarily: "Sir, please tell the truth. The thing belongs to the fourth master of the British government. He asked the villain to dig it out for him. It's really true!"

Shan Shen pressed his eyebrows.

 Whether it is true or not, it is impossible to go to the British government at this time.

Those who stole boxes were put in jail, and Gao An had his fingerprints stamped on the confession. "Don't worry, sir, Lao Shi Alley will be beautifully built and safe," he said. "These thieves are indifferent and disturb your sleep. If the villain dug out these two boxes by himself, he would definitely give them to you in broad daylight." Come."

Shan Shen snorted: "Don't all thieves work at night?"

Gao An laughed and accepted Shan Shen's joke.

 When we walked out of Shuntian Mansion, the rain stopped.

 “God is good!” Gao An praised.

If it hadn't rained, he wouldn't have been able to clear out all the people in the alley.

If the rain had not added mud and made it a mess, Li Yuanfa might have felt that the foundation was not so strong when he put down the shovel.

If it hadn't been muddy and dirty, Li Yuanfa might have been able to tell at a glance that the box didn't look like it had been dug out for the first time after being buried in the ground for a long time, especially the big lock. Dong Chen's family finally dug out two locks from the warehouse. It's almost the same old lock, but it's different from the one that's been buried for a long time.

If the heavy rain hadn't blocked his sight, Wang Si was wandering around the alley, and he might have discovered that they were setting up an ambush, or maybe he would have caught the person in the Yamen and was unable to nail the thing that came out of Lao Shi Alley.

 As for the BRIC that Li Yuanfa shouted about...

 Gao An is not stupid.

Those books were really heavy when packed into boxes, but they were definitely not as heavy as the first time they were moved.

He personally used it, and the feeling is unmistakable.

 Li Yuanfa is telling the truth.

But there was no name written on the gold bricks. The princess dug them out first. Why should she take advantage of Li Yuanfa?

By daybreak, through conversations among the guests in the breakfast shop, many people knew what happened in Lao Shi Alley last night.

 The news of course also reached Zhu Cheng’s ears.

 He didn't even have time to ask a few more questions before an official from Shuntian Prefecture came looking for him.

"Two boxes of banned books?" Zhu Cheng almost nodded when he saw the official, his face was full of dissatisfaction, "Why do I want people to dig up banned books? And gold bricks, what nonsense!"

I know Mr. Shan needs to make inquiries when investigating a case, but if anyone makes a complaint, I will go to the Yamen to reply. This doesn’t make sense.

 I don’t know what kind of hair Li has, and it has nothing to do with me. "

 After sending off the official, Zhu Cheng found a sedan and hurried to Liuguo Hutong.

Madam Wang welcomed Zhu Cheng in: "Why do you look like this? What happened?"

“Didn’t you say there were two boxes of gold bricks buried there?” Zhu Cheng asked urgently, “Why are there two boxes of banned books?”

Madam Wang’s eyes suddenly widened: “No gold bricks? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

"How is it impossible?" Zhu Cheng asked, "Did you see it buried with your own eyes?"

"I..." Madam Wang shook her head, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but my godfather said it himself. When the master left Beijing, my godfather watched with his own eyes as he packed the boxes and buried them in the foundation..."

 Zhu Cheng was angry, and his words were not pleasant: "How many truths can be said about cutting off descendants?"

 The Queen turned her face away.

Outside the house, a young salesman carried a target full of candied haws in one hand and a bunch in the other, biting it vigorously.

It is Xuansu.

Although the courtyard door was closed and the voices of the people inside were low, it could not stop his outstanding hearing.

 At first, seeing Zhu Cheng's hurried look after hearing the news, he was 70% to 80% sure.

After listening to Zhu Yan's question after entering the door, it was ten % -Zhu Ying hadn't seen him with his own eyes. It wasn't him buried at the beginning. He also got news.

Having confirmed this, even if Zhu Cheng and Lady Wang went to the back room to talk, Xuan Su had already completed his task.

Now, there are some unexpected surprises.

 Godfather, master.

 What exactly does it mean? The master and the princess will definitely be able to analyze it as long as they scratch the surface.

I have to say that the princess's method of inviting you to enter the urn is really effective.

After biting the candied haws, Xuan Su inserted the empty stick into the target and carried it all the way.

   Thanks to book friend Xu Bicheng’s official girlfriend for the reward.
