The thieves actually kept their word, and the group left in a hurry without harming a single villager.
Their behavior made Tong Linyuan, a scholar, very confused. Doesn't this secret need to be kept?
Handing over the secret means being killed, but Tong Linyuan has no power to restrain the chicken. The villagers only have some strength at most. How can they fight against these people who lick blood at the tip of their knives?
But even handing over the entire village's money may not satisfy these people. In the end, they still can't escape the killing, so it's better to use this secret to fight.
Tong Linyuan came up with a possibility, that is, they had to ensure that they found the treasure before they would attack him. If they knew that the location of the treasure was different from what was recorded in the manuscript, wouldn't it be a joy in vain?
Maybe it’s because the Kit Kat box is a more sophisticated piece of art than the iron box?
Are they afraid they won't be able to open it?
Why don't they leave one person to monitor them?
In this way, if they can't be found somewhere, they can come back and ask for help. What if they run away during this time?
The reason why Tong Linyuan can't figure it out is very simple. The Jifeiguodao is not an organization, let alone a sect. The boss is not the leader or the head. He can't order other people, so he can't monopolize the treasure.
No matter who stays, the treasure will not be distributed to him in the future.
Go together?
Why bring an outsider? Kill him in the future?
The villagers will spread the news and either don't kill them or kill them all.
Kill the villagers first. Even if Tong Linyuan knows the truth, will he still tell them?
If you say it, you will die, if you don't say it, you will die. Who can tell?
It doesn't matter, a scholar's body can't stand the severe cold and wind, so he can't hide in a place where outsiders can't find him.
It's better to be generous and let it go. You can decide whether to kill it or not when you get the treasure in the future.
Compared to a scholar who doesn't know the inside story, the boss is not thinking about how to get rid of this person who knows the secret, but wants to kill the other brothers.
It's okay that they don't know what the treasure is. Once they know it, they will probably make the same plan. In this way, they will take action sooner or later. Now that they are the only ones who know, they can set a trap first and lure them into the game.
It is never too early to strike first to gain the upper hand.
The secret of this treasure must not be spread out, so hurry up. If someone finds out, I'm afraid a lot of trouble will happen.
The boss knew that after getting the treasure, he had to kill the insider Tong Linyuan and the villagers, whether they knew it or not.
So the boss's plan is to be more generous, to let him go as he is told, without showing any murderous intent, and to keep the other party in the village as much as possible.
On the contrary, Tong Linyuan felt that they would come back to kill him, for no other reason than because they let him go so easily. Tong Linyuan knew very well what kind of robbers they were. They had poisoned the land of Kyushu for many years. Every time the dynasty raised troops to fight, the ones who caused the most harm were Not the army, but the bandits who took advantage of the situation.
Tong Linyuan knew those people, so he had no choice but to leave. If the bandits came back and massacred the villagers, he could report it to the Four Ministries. Even if the court couldn't control it, he could also inform the Five Holy Lands. He didn't believe that these bandits could do such unscrupulous crimes.
Where is the safest place?
The four-part meeting hall!
There is the imperial court, the seat of Kyushu's political power, and the only place where mortals can get close to the Five Holy Lands.
how to get to? Why go?
Just rely on this secret in your hand!
Maybe they want to know, maybe the Five Holy Lands also want to know, maybe they know the origin or importance of this treasure.
In short, he cannot let these bandits kill the villagers. This is the pride of a literary man. He must be worthy of the treasure given by his husband and the kindness of the villagers to his husband.
Both sides have their own scruples, and secrets will lead to death. Both sides know that they will not leak out easily, but at the same time, the other side is someone who may leak secrets, so a battle between offense and defense begins.
Several villagers took Tong Linyuan and hurried to the nearest county to report the matter. Although Beihai was far away, Tong Linyuan was not sure of the speed of those masters. He had to be as fast as possible.
Tong Linyuan handed the iron box to the village chief. Although the iron box was useless after the robbers took out the treasure, Tong Linyuan was not sure that his speculation was completely correct. Maybe there was a bigger secret hidden in the little book, so he continued to wait. Destined person.
And it bears witness to the goodness of human nature.

"Sorry! I can't open it!"
Boss: "Why, as a craftsman, you can't open a trap box?"
"There are sixty-four beads on this Kit Kat box. Each bead has a scale on it. The scales are divided into three levels. If you want to open it, you need to find sixty-four sets of scales, and the scales must be exactly opposite to each other. Among them, There are so many changes. If there were no maps or clues, it would probably take more than ten years to try one by one!"
"What? More than ten years?"
Lao San chopped off the craftsman's head with one knife. Although he didn't know what treasures and secrets were inside, it was useless since he couldn't open the box!
"you!"
Just as the boss wanted to stop him, his head fell to the ground.
The boss said bitterly: "You'd better be careful. You have entered the city now. If you are discovered by the five holy places, don't say that the brothers are ignoring their old feelings!"
Lao Wu: "Yes, this craftsman knows nothing. There is no need to kill before opening it. You'd better exercise restraint and don't implicate us!"
Robbers are cruel and have no regard for affection, even for their own people.
The third child said dissatisfied: "I know!"
The robbers and thieves approached more than a dozen craftsmen one after another but could not open the Kit Kat box, which made the boss very satisfied. If it was opened easily, his plan would not be implemented.
"Let's go find that person and try!"
"Yes, no matter whether he can be opened or not, he will be killed and silenced, and everyone in that village will also be killed!"
"The massacre of the village has caused too much noise. If someone sees it and spreads the news, things will be difficult to handle!"
"We'd better determine what the treasure inside is first. If it's really that important, there's no harm in giving it a try. If it's just the scholar who is trying to make things up, we don't need to be so careful. Even if it gets spread, it won't necessarily attract anyone!" m.
"That's right. What's more, we are not soft persimmons and can be pinched by anyone who wants to!"
Boss: "I also know a craftsman whose skills are better than the previous ones. If he can't open it, we will go back to Tong Linyuan!"
The second child: "Okay, just listen to the boss. As for killing or not, we can wait until we take out the treasure!"
"Let's go! Cross the ice and snow plain ahead first."
………………
"Wow, what do you think this is?"
Meng'er was pleasantly surprised to find Huangmei in the snow. It was inconspicuous, but she also knew that it was different from ice and snow at first glance. The first thing she saw was that she had so many different feelings that it was hard to describe, and it was very strange.
Shangguan Yuan heard Meng'er's voice and ran over in a hurry. The first time she saw it, a robber with a long knife suddenly emerged from the ice and snow and slashed at her.
"ah!"
Shangguan Yuan was frightened and took a few steps back, just in time to bump into Qin Feng's arms.
Some people died, but not completely...
