In the main room of the Chen Mansion, a thug led a group of men into the inner room almost like a whirlwind. However, when they all walked from the inner room to the outer room, they did not see any of the three men. Even if it is the figure of one of them.
Then others couldn't help but complain, "Where did that person go?"
The thug looked around the room. After confirming that no one was found, the thug immediately said, "These three people must have committed a murder, so they ran away."
"Then what should we do now?" One of them asked the elder for instructions.
The elder looked at the thug calmly and said, "Where is the study!"
When the thugs heard this, they immediately went to lead the way.
The old man followed the thugs to the study. After some rummaging through the cabinets, they quickly found a stack of account books in a small box hidden in the corner.
The old man only briefly flipped through all the account books, and then whispered, "Burn all these account books."
"If the target of those people is just Jin, we don't need to continue to pursue it. As for Jin, we will tell outsiders that she died in an accident after being kidnapped by thieves."
After hearing the old man's instructions, the others only nodded in agreement. At the same time, a servant was preparing to carry the box outside and burn all the ledgers in the box. However, before he could leave the room, the old man Then he said, "What are you doing out there with the account book?"
The boy just whispered, "As I tell you, I want to take this box of things out and burn it."
The old man just said immediately, "No need to mention it, let's just burn it here."
The boy looked at the furnishings around him and said, "But sir, it's easy to catch fire if you burn it in the house."
"If it's a fire, it's a fire. Just so we can say that there was a fire in this house, and Kim was burned alive inside."
The boy obviously wanted to say something else, but the master interrupted directly and said, "Stop talking nonsense and quickly set up the stove."
When the boy heard this, he could only say yes helplessly.
However, after that, he seemed to be ready to carry the wooden box out.
The old man couldn't help shouting, "Put the things down first, and then set up the pot. Do I need to teach you how to do this?"
After hearing the old man's words, not only did the young man not stop, he actually ran faster.
Seeing the boy's condition, the others immediately reacted, "Let's chase him! We can't let this guy go. We can't let him take the account book away!"
After hearing this, the others immediately ran and chased the boy.
However, several people chasing together were not as fast as one boy. Even the thug who had some skills and took the lead could not catch up with the humble boy.
It was obvious that this boy was definitely not an ordinary boy. He might even be an undercover agent from above.
When he thought of this, the old man immediately said to the thugs, "Hurry up and let the thugs close the gates around the yard."
When the thug heard the words, he immediately whistled. This was their way of communicating when necessary. As the thug's loud whistle sounded, the doors in all directions in the room were instantly closed.
And as the door closed, the group of people instantly started the mode of closing the door and beating the dog.
There were a lot of thugs in the Jin family's house. Almost no matter where the boy fled, there were many pursuers. The boy could hardly move in the garden, but he was not willing to return the box of account books to the group of people. So the boy quickly came to an abandoned hut full of vines. This hut was obviously the house where the spiritual tablet of Chen Ke's eldest brother Chen Yue was kept.
There was little room in the house to hide a small wooden box. ..
In the end, he could only stuff all the ledgers under the statue of Guanyin behind the spiritual tablets.
After doing this, he could still hear the voices of the men tracking him.
He only hid in the corner of the room, and then jumped out of the window of the hut.
Others did not track his figure. Finally, when a sharp-eyed person discovered that the boy was escaping toward the garden, he shouted, "He is going to the garden. Don't let him go!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately
Chased in that direction.
At the same time, Chen Ke was about to leave after agreeing to Xu Zhilan's proposal. However, when the three of them were about to leave, Chen Ke suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered that my brother's tablet is still here." In the house, no matter what, I have to bring the tablet back for my eldest brother."
After listening to Chen Ke's words, Xinguan didn't say much nonsense. He just said, "I'll get it. You guys hide here. No matter what you see, don't make a sound. I'll come back as soon as I go."
After receiving Xinguan's instructions, the other two people naturally nodded in cooperation.
And Xinguan quickly went to the wooden house.
Almost not long after Xinguan left, he saw a young boy in gray rushing into the courtyard in a panic.
There was also a group of thugs who came in with him, and those thugs were obviously the same group of thugs who were preparing to fight the boy.
Upon seeing this situation, Xu Zhilan couldn't help but shrink her neck in fear.
Fortunately, they were hiding on the roof at this time. As long as they didn't make a sound and most people didn't look up, it would be difficult for them to spot the two people on the roof.
The thugs' attention was obviously focused on the boy and the wooden box.
"Run! Keep running! I want to see what else you can do to keep running." The leading thug gestured to the thugs around him to half-surround the boy, while verbally mocking the boy.
The boy stepped back step by step when they chased him.
However, after retreating to a place, he quickly leaned against the wall.
In this situation where there was almost no retreat, the leading thug took the lead and prepared to attack the boy, but he didn't expect that the boy could react much faster than him.
When he attacked the boy, the boy just threw the box behind him.
Then he started fighting with the thug.
When the two were entangled, the leading thug immediately signaled his men to join the fight while looking for the box.
Although this young man has some kung fu, it can be seen that his kung fu is not bad. But after all, two fists were no match for four hands, and the boy was quickly detained. At the same time, the others only discovered the wooden box that had been left behind.
The thug closest to the box immediately chased in the direction of the box, but did not wait for the man to pick up the box in his hand.
The boy suddenly burst out with a burst of brute force, and then he just rushed towards the man, but in the end he was more than capable.
He failed to knock the man down. Instead, he was attacked by thugs. He only had a dagger stuck to his body. In an instant, he covered the wound and fell to the ground.
Seeing the man fall to the ground, everyone else was shocked, "Why did you attack him?"
"Didn't we get the thing? If we don't do something to him, are we going to continue to keep this useless guy?" The thug who stabbed the young man's body with a dagger only added.
Others seemed to agree.
But when the thug carrying the box was about to lift it up, he felt that the box seemed to be very light.
So the thug just opened the box and looked over.
Seeing that the wooden box was empty, there was nothing in it. The man couldn't help shouting, "We have been cheated! There is nothing in it."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately gathered around. After confirming that the account book in the box was indeed gone, everyone immediately prepared to hold the boy responsible.
However, the boy was lying on the ground and collapsed.
Someone used their hand to test the boy's breathing, but at this time, the boy only had no breath at all.
After seeing this situation, a group of people couldn't help but start to complain about the person who just made the move.
It's a pity that the man looked completely unmoved.
"What's the use of complaining about me now? Could it be that after you complain about me, that person won't die?"
"What's more, if I hadn't taken action just now, you would have been the one who had the accident." He said this to the person who found the box empty.
His words left everyone else speechless.
He didn't care about this and just continued, "So instead of complaining about me here, you might as well go and look around."
After hearing his words, everyone stopped talking immediately. Everyone started to look for the ledger in the box.
After those people left, Xu Zhilan and Chen Ke revealed half of their heads. Xu Zhilan looked at the body of the man underneath and said, "What should we do now? Should we go and see that man."
This time, Chen Ke shook his head, "It's better not to go now. Let's wait for Xinguan to come back."
Xu Zhilan nodded. Fortunately, she didn't wait long before Xinguan came back. However, when Xinguan came back, in addition to the memorial tablet of brother Chen Ke, he only brought back a dozen thick blue-backed account books.
This account book was obviously left by the boy and what the thugs were looking for.
Xu Zhilan looked at the account book, and then whispered, "What is this? Why should we take it away."
Xinguan only replied, "I don't know, but it seems that this account book is very important and may be of some use to your little lover."
After saying this, Xinguan only glanced at Chen Ke.
Being stared at, Chen Ke's face instantly turned red.
Xu Zhilan took over a few ledgers graciously and prepared for everyone to stuff some ledgers into each one.
Unexpectedly, a weak voice suddenly came from below.
"The people above, can I ask you a favor?"
After hearing this, everyone didn't know who the person who asked for help was at first.
It wasn't until the body that was originally judged to have expired moved slightly that Xu Zhilan discovered that the other party was actually still alive.
Xinguan obviously didn't know what happened.
He only asked Xu Zhilan with his eyes.
Xu Zhilan immediately whispered, "I didn't do it, it was the thugs who thought he had a ledger in his hand, so they killed him."
After hearing this, Xinguan cautiously got off the roof, and then he asked the brother in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"
