In the silent night, a donkey cart appeared quietly at the door of Pan Jinlian's backyard.
A handsome man wearing a straw hat got out of the car, opened the door neatly, pulled the donkey cart in and closed it immediately.
The night wind blew gently, but no one else saw this.
The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. It has been some time since Wu Dalang's incident.
Everything that needs to be searched and taken from this house has been taken away. Besides, Ximen Qing is dead, so no one will pay attention to this place.
Li Zhengyi plans to hide here for the next two days, and will wait for the rest.
Li Zhengyi and Pan Jinlian went up and down, groping around and looking around. The inside of this house really looked like it had been robbed by bandits. Except for the heavier tables, chairs and beds, everything else that could be moved had been secretly stolen by someone. Go along.
But fortunately, we only stayed for a few days, and it was over.
Suddenly it occurred to me that Wu Dalang had escaped. Wouldn't this house become ownerless?
So he asked Pan Jinlian if he would sell the house, but he didn't expect that it was Wu Dalang who rented the house.
I originally thought that Wu Dalang owned a house like himself, but I didn't expect that he rented a house. I couldn't help but think that it was God's mercy that he could marry a wife with such conditions.
"Brother, this house is due to expire at the end of the year. How long can we live in it?"
Li Zhengyi thought for a while and told Pan Jinlian his plan again: "I will leave in two days. I want to move directly to Hangzhou and settle down. The money will be left with you. You should think carefully about what to do in the past two days. If we implement it, what kind of business can we do?"
It was impossible to go together. Li Zhengyi could only spare one day to send her out of the city. As for where she could be sent, it was up to chance.
Although he experienced so many things during the day, Li Zhengyi is still lively and energetic.
I was bored and practiced my skills in the yard for a while before going to bed.
At midnight, the room was dark and silent outside.
Li Zhengyi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stood up, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
I sat there thinking for a few breaths, then put on my clothes without saying a word, and quietly went out of the door without calling Pan Jinlian who was sleeping.
It was getting quieter and quieter outside in the middle of the night. Li Zhengyi didn't know what time it was. There was not a single person on the street. Only the moonlight in the sky spread a layer of silver gauze over everything around him.
The little donkey beside him raised his head and looked at him, and saw him quietly rolling out from the wall. His bright black eyes were full of confusion. He tilted his head and thought for a while before falling asleep again.
After Li Zhengyi came out, he tightened his clothes and shoes. He did not go far, but walked straight towards the tea shop opposite.
He came here to look for an opportunity to fulfill some of his previous promises. Since Ximen Qingdu was killed, is there still a king's wife missing?
But when he walked to the door, he found that there was an iron lock hanging on it.
No way?
Some strange thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Zhengyi quietly walked to the backyard, and sure enough, the back door was also locked.
"Did that woman run away after hearing the news that Ximen Qing was killed? This is too treacherous."
Since I couldn't find anyone, I had no choice but to prepare to go back. But as soon as he walked to the door, Li Zhengyi thought that Mrs. Wang would not use the empty city trick like Pan Jinlian.
So he returned in the dark, climbed over the fence in the backyard of the tea shop, and found that the door to the back room was also locked.
But this couldn't stop Li Zhengyi at all. He took a few steps back, then used his feet to leap forward, and reached the edge of the window twice.
Pushing it gently with his hand, he found that the window upstairs was not closed, but even if it was closed, Li Zhengyi would pry it open with his sword.
This time, there was no cold light coming from the window in the dark night. He climbed into the room on the second floor with his hands and feet very neatly.
There was no one there. He searched carefully upstairs and downstairs, but couldn't find Mrs. Wang.
It seemed that it was just as he expected. After hearing the news that Ximen Qing had been killed, Wang Po must have felt scared and ran away. I have to say that these evil people have a really strong instinct to run away.
After a while, Li Zhengyi was ready to leave, but as soon as he reached the window, he felt that he couldn't do it. If he left like this, he would be a cheap old pig.
So he searched up and down the house more carefully and put everything he thought was worth taking away on the table.
In the end, there were only two pieces of silk and a set of silver tea sets. Li Zhengyi frowned and looked at these items, wondering if the old pig and dog had already guessed that he would come in and take away all the valuable things?
His eyes lit up when he suddenly thought of something, and then he tapped his knuckles on the floor tiles in the corner carefully to listen.
"Dong dong... dong dong... dong dong... thump thump..."
found it? !
Li Zhengyi knocked carefully again and found that the bottom of the floor tile was indeed hollow.
With a slightly excited heart, I groped in the dark and inserted the blade of my sword into the cracks of the bricks to pry up the floor tile.
Sure enough there is something! And it is also a square wooden box.
I can't help but wonder, do people in this era like to hide good things under the floor tiles?
But these are not important, what is important is what is hidden in this box.
After Li Zhengyi rubbed his hands, he opened the square wooden box like a blind box.
hiss! !
He couldn't help but be a little impressed by the old woman. He didn't expect that she had hidden so many treasures.
But considering the shameful things that woman did, it makes sense that she could have accumulated so much wealth.
There are more than ten silver ingots, four gold cakes, and a pair of thick and heavy gold bracelets neatly placed in the square box.
There are two other items. Although Li Zhengyi is not sure how much they are worth, he feels that they should be more valuable than these silver ingots.
The two items are a topaz pendant the size of an egg, and a gold scroll engraved with something unknown. It is slightly thicker than kraft paper and is about the size of an A4 paper when opened.
There is something painted on it, which cannot be seen clearly in the dark. Through the moonlight, I can vaguely see what appear to be figures and words.
The piece of Hetian yellow jade feels very smooth and delicate when held in the hand, and the texture should be very good.
In ancient times, topaz was rarely seen in ordinary people's homes, and I don't know where this woman came from.
After getting a valuable treasure by chance, Li Zhengyi ignored everything else and just wanted to pack up all these things and take them away.
In the end, he did the same thing, without even leaving the box behind, and stuffed it directly into his arms.
Then he went upstairs and wrapped the satin and silver tea sets that he had found earlier in a piece of coarse cloth, held them in his hands and turned them over from the window.
The front and back doors of the house were locked, but the things inside were missing. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you might have thought it was something done by ghosts and gods.
Although he was carrying something in his hands and a wooden box stuffed in his chest when he returned, Li Zhengyi's steps were indeed very light.
