Daolin once again looked at the evidence from the City Lord's Mansion, and then asked: "How did Li Mulin look when he traded with us? Did he look like he was about to die?"
"I really don't believe a rich man who is obsessed with life and money every day and says that he is about to die." Jijiu said with a sneer.
"Then what kind of situation can lead to this incident involving a life?" Dolin turned to look at Qingjiu.
"I don't know. After this certificate is sent, we will no longer be able to see the Li family. The house has also been sealed, and there are guards patrolling the door." Concubine Li said.
Dowling nodded. In fact, they didn't have to take over the property, but the feeling of being tricked for no reason was very unpleasant.
"Have you ever gone in and taken a look?" Dowling asked Xiang Jiujiu again.
Jijiu shook his head.
"How long has that property been sealed?" Daolin looked at Concubine Li and asked.
"When we came here, we first found a hotel nearby and checked in. The next day, I took the Wang brothers to go and apply for these two properties. The two properties were basically processed at the same time. They both signed contracts, paid and moved in. , but there was no reply, and about a week later, the owner of the property came to discuss it, and finally finalized the deal of 530,000 taels," Concubine Li said.
"We have just finished purchasing this place, and the funds for purchasing furniture and decoration are somewhat limited, so we only need to sign and fingerprint the property deed first, and the money will be settled within three days."
"On the first day, I stopped drinking and went to a trading house to exchange money. After all, the money you gave us was not completely in cash, and some things had to be exchanged. The money exchange went quite smoothly, and we exchanged two hundred thousand taels on the first day."
"In the morning of the next day, another two hundred thousand taels were exchanged. Counting what was in hand, it was completely enough. But in the afternoon of the next day, the City Lord's Mansion came over with this certificate. On the same day, we went to the site to check. Then The property has been sealed, and even when we asked the surrounding shops, we didn’t hear that Li Mulin had passed away.”
Daolin nodded after hearing this. It seemed that for this matter, he needed to go to the city lord's mansion. After all, the previous grudges had not been settled yet, and the Resurrection Society still had to settle the account with the city lord's son for assassinating him.
"Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with the president of Baodefu before? He can be regarded as the master with one hand covering the sky here. It should be easier to approach him on this matter." Concubine Li said in a low voice.
"I'm going to go to the scene to have a look first. At least I'll know some of the reasons. As for what happens next, let's talk about it later." Dowling shook his head and said after thinking for a moment.
"Then when do you plan to go?" Qingjiu asked.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. I'll go take a look tonight." Dolin said with a chuckle.
It was an uneventful day, and after Dorian carefully prepared for the day, night finally came.
As the sky gradually darkened, Daolin and the Wang brothers walked out of the shadows outside the wall of Li Mansion, which is outside the east courtyard of the house.
"Master, be careful, we are here, just shout if anything happens." Wang Da stood behind Daolin and whispered.
Daolin nodded, jumped up on the wall, and after making sure no one was paying attention, he jumped directly into Li's house.
He hid in a corner and looked around carefully. Because he was sneaking in secretly, he did not dare to be too blatant. Soon, the opportunity came, and a man dressed as a servant slowly walked over.
"There is someone in the house!" Daolin frowned suddenly. This was completely different from what Concubine Li had described.
Daolin hurriedly hid his figure, and when the man passed by, he covered his mouth and placed his other hand on the back of the man's neck.
The man fainted without even making a sound. Dolin quickly took off the servant's clothes, then pulled the man to a dark place and bound and gagged him.
Dolin changed his clothes and walked out of the dark place. It was relatively hidden here and should not be easily discovered.
I wandered around Li's Mansion aimlessly. To be honest, Li's Mansion covers a very large area, with three courtyards and east-west courtyards.
Along the way, Daolin discovered that there must be about twenty warriors dressed as servants, and this was just the east cross courtyard.
These people seemed to be busy cleaning, but they didn't move for a long time.
"Sure enough, there is a problem." Dolin thought to himself, walking through the corridor and finally turning from the east cross courtyard into the main courtyard.
"Come here." Suddenly a sharp voice sounded from behind.
Dolin frowned when he heard the sound. This sound was simply too familiar. He often heard this sound in costume TV dramas in his previous life.
"How come there are eunuchs?" Daolin was shocked.
"What are you talking about?" The voice behind him sounded again, and it could be heard that the other party was already a little impatient.
Dorian lowered his head slightly and turned around slowly.
"Why are you taking so long? Come with me quickly." The man muttered, turned around and turned into a secluded path.
Daolin quickly followed. He wanted to see why there was an old eunuch in Shangzhou County.
After leading Dolin to a small, quiet courtyard, the old eunuch opened the door and walked in.
Dolin hesitated for a moment but then followed in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old eunuch looking at him up and down.
The old eunuch stared at Dolin with narrowed eyes and said with an evil smile: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, that little brat who appeared out of nowhere is so bold. You even dare to break in here."
Dolin was shocked, knowing that his identity might have been revealed, but he still pretended to be confused and bowed and said: "I don't understand what you mean, sir?"
"You farted and acted in front of me. Tell me who gave your dog the guts to come here." The old eunuch took a step forward and shouted angrily. There was a faint green light surrounding him, and the aura of the second-grade transcendent realm filled the room. burst inside.
Dolin looked at the old eunuch with fear and said softly: "It's unfair, my lord."
The old eunuch was furious, raised his hand and turned into claws to grab at Daolin.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the old eunuch looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. His hand was still two inches away from his cheek, but the other person's palm had already slapped his cheek hard. The pain on his left cheek told him that this was not a dream.
"Shame on you, you bastard." Dolin shouted at the old eunuch angrily.
The old eunuch came back to his senses, his chest heaving with anger, his teeth crunching, and a cold voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Good boy, I'm going to kill you."
The old eunuch flicked his sleeves, and a soft sword appeared in his hand. The soft sword stabbed towards Daolin like a poisonous snake.
Daolin dodged and stepped back, followed closely by the old eunuch, the soft sword in his hand moving like a silver snake.
The two retreated into the courtyard. Daolin seized the opportunity and grabbed the soft sword with his left hand. He twisted and pulled hard with one hand, and the old eunuch was staggered by him. He punched the old eunuch with his right hand. abdomen.
The old eunuch bent down in pain. How could Dolin let go of such a good opportunity? He raised his hands above his head and slammed the old eunuch on the back.
"Bang..." The old eunuch was knocked to his knees by this blow.
Dolin did not pursue anymore, but sneered at the old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground. A white mark was left on his left hand by the soft sword, without even scratching the skin.
