Chapter 50: Raid his explosives depot!
It was dark in the cellar.
There were no torches or candles, only a night-shining pearl embedded in the wall, gleaming softly in the darkness.
Looking at the night-shining pearl as big as an egg, Shen Wan couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
You know what, this kind-hearted Mr. Lin is really stingy. He used such rare treasures for lighting, but he was still thinking about the little money he took away.
After walking along the corridor for a long time, the view suddenly opened up and a huge cave appeared in front of us.
There was a large amount of explosives piled up in the cave!
Shen Wan looked at it and her jaw almost dropped in shock.
Although I guessed there would be explosives here, I didn't expect there would be so much!
Not to mention blowing up this mountain, it would be more than enough to blow up the entire capital city!
No, this matter is probably not that simple.
If Mr. Lin Dashan was just a local tycoon who lived off his wife, then why did he store so much explosives?
He was clearly wealthy, yet he was so impatient to take back his valuables. Could there be some secret hidden in them?
While I was daydreaming, I saw Aunt Zhou being thrown to the ground by the hunter like a dead dog.
The old lady got a bucket of cold water from somewhere and poured it directly on her face.
Aunt Zhou was completely chilled.
She shivered and then woke up slowly.
"Where is this?" She looked at the dark cave with a confused look on her face, "Am I dreaming?
The old lady smiled coldly, and between the lines there was a chilling chill unique to the underworld: "What do you think, Zhou Caiqing?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou turned pale with fear.
Not many people in this world knew her maiden name, but she definitely didn't recognize the old woman in front of her.
"You... who are you?" She looked at the old lady with horror.
The "old lady" smiled coldly, then slowly took off the human skin mask on her face.
It turns out that she is not a woman at all, but the old housekeeper of Mr. Lin!
After a brief moment of surprise, Shen Wan burst into laughter, and even her stomach ached slightly.
You know what, this guy looks really good in women's clothes, he's clearly a replica of Eunuch Huang!
Fortunately, this space is isolated from the outside world, otherwise the old housekeeper would be so angry that he would go berserk all night.
"Why is it you?" Aunt Zhou's face suddenly changed, and she asked haltingly, "What...what are you going to do?"
The old housekeeper frowned and grinned sinisterly, "What do you want me to do?"
"Tell me, where did you put the stolen property?"
When asked about the valuables, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but get furious: "Those things were clearly stolen by you, and you still have the nerve to turn the tables!"
"Don't say I didn't take it. Even if I did, you have no right to say anything here, because those things originally belonged to me!"
"You still dare to quibble!" The old butler's cloudy eyes suddenly tightened, and he shouted sternly, "You'd better behave yourself, or I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
He had sworn a solemn oath in front of the great philanthropist Lin that if he didn't recover the property, he would die to atone for his sin!
After much thought, he determined that Aunt Zhou was the thief!
Aunt Zhou was not a person with a good temper. She was so angry that she almost exploded when she saw that a mere housekeeper dared to yell at her.
She stiffened her neck and looked at him provocatively: "I advise you to let me go if you know what's best for you."
"When daybreak comes, the officer outside won't be able to find me, and he will definitely kill you!"
The old butler seemed to have heard a huge joke and couldn't help laughing.
"Just them?" He squinted his eyes and sneered with disdain. "To tell you the truth, no one else knows the way down the mountain except me."
"If this heavy rain continues for a few more days, they will all die here!"
When Shen Wan heard this, her dog eyes suddenly lit up.
"With so many things, where can I hide them if I steal them?" Aunt Zhou remembered Shen Wan's words and immediately retorted.
"Father, she must have accomplices!" The hunter interrupted from the side. "She has several daughters-in-law, and one of them has a shady relationship with the officials."
"If I'm not mistaken, those things should have been moved away with the help of the officials!"
The old butler's face changed.
This is what he is most worried about.
If those things get lost outside, none of them will be able to survive!
Thinking of this, the old housekeeper suddenly grabbed Aunt Zhou and asked fiercely, "I'll give you one last chance!"
"If you don't tell me, I'll chop you down!"
Aunt Zhou wanted to explain, but she hadn't even seen the trace of those valuables, so how could she explain?
Seeing that she was determined not to say anything, the old housekeeper became angry and embarrassed.
He pushed hard, but saw Aunt Zhou's plump body flying straight backwards.
The old housekeeper was so strong that the back of Aunt Zhou's head hit the hard wall hard, and blood gushed out immediately. She collapsed to the ground as if all her bones and muscles were pulled out.
Shen Wan was startled.
She hurried forward, only to find that Aunt Zhou had rolled her eyes.
"Dad, that old woman is dead!" The hunter saw this and was extremely anxious. "If we can't find the things again, the Third Prince will definitely not let us go."
Shen Wan was startled.
The third prince?
I never expected that they were the Third Prince's men, and this place might be the Third Prince's ammunition depot!
It seems that she and the son of destiny are really incompatible.
The old steward pondered for a moment and said, "Send those people down the mountain."
"Why?" The hunter stared with his big eyes like copper bells, looking puzzled.
The old housekeeper said coldly with a gloomy face, "After we go down the mountain, Zhou's accomplices will naturally take the money and property. We will just follow them then."
"If we really can't find it, then we will..."
At this point, he smiled evilly.
"Dad, you're really smart!" The hunter couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "If the Third Prince ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely make you a high official.
The old butler looked very proud, as if he had already been made a marquis or a prime minister.
"Learn more next time." He cleared his throat and said, "First and foremost, we should find those things."
The hunter nodded.
He glanced at Aunt Zhou's body and asked worriedly, "How are we going to explain this woman's situation to the officials out there?"
"What a fool!" the old butler cursed impatiently, "Why not just make up an excuse?"
"Go up and see if the girl is awake. If there's anything unusual, you know what to do."
After hearing this, the hunter nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
The father and son walked out while talking.
Shen Wan also hurried to follow.
While they weren't paying attention, she silently hooked her fingers.
I'm sorry, Third Prince, the big villain wants this explosives, she can't help him!
As for the night pearl, it belonged to the Xie family, so she naturally had to take it away.
But in the blink of an eye, the huge cave was empty, with only Aunt Zhou lying there with her eyes wide open.
After leaving the cellar, Shen Wan quickly returned to the west wing.
She covered herself with the quilt and pretended to be soundly asleep.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
The hunter lifted the door curtain and looked inside quietly, standing there for a long time before leaving.
Seeing him leave, Shen Wan quickly flashed to the space and rummaged through the property she had collected in Linjiazhuang.
I have to say that Aunt Zhou really has nothing to say about her old lover.
There are all kinds of jewelry, silk fabrics, etc.
Think about it, the Duke is really pitiful. Such a great hero, but he was cuckolded by such a woman!
Suddenly, pieces of paper fell out of the book.
Shen Wan picked it up and took a look, and was stunned.
