Chapter 1120: A Group of Ruthless People
"When we went there, the Sheng family's house had indeed been searched thoroughly, and there was no loss of valuables."
Song Jiuyuan's eyes were cold, if they were really willing to wipe out an entire family just for the treasure map, then that group of people were not good people.
"Don't worry, go ask Sheng Duo."
Jiang Wan didn't want to care about so many things, but if there really was a treasure map, they really had to take care of it.
In case the route is the same, they have to pay attention to safety.
That group of people in secret are ruthless and dangerous.
"Then I'll go with you."
Just as Song Jiuyuan was about to leave, Jiang Wan held him back and said, "Look after the kids at home."
“The child can be placed inside.”
Song Jiuyuan didn't want to be separated from Jiang Wan, but he really couldn't let go of the child. Jiang Wan thought about it.
So he took Song Jiuyuan back to the house and left him and the children in the space.
"If you need anything, you can call me. I'll find a way to get in when I hear you."
Jiang Wan felt that it was relatively safe for him and the children in the space, and Song Jiuyuan could take care of the children.
If there is something he can't solve, Jiang Wan can still go in in time.
Song Jiuyuan naturally did not refuse such an arrangement, but he didn't know where Sheng Duo was for the time being.
Jiang Wan simply went straight to Sheng Mansion.
She wore a veil on purpose. Although Sheng Duo was a little naive, she had grown a lot after the incident at home.
In just one day, the Sheng Mansion was hung with white silk, and many people who were familiar with Master Sheng came to pay their respects.
Although they may not necessarily help Sheng Duo, they still try to save her face.
Probably because they were also curious about why the Sheng family had provoked such a powerful enemy.
When Jiang Wan arrived, Sheng Duo was kneeling numbly in the mourning hall, accompanied by Muxiang, Ruoshui and others.
Today, the Sheng family can no longer hide.
Several women helped to entertain guests in the front hall. Compared to Sheng Duo's numb and sad expression, these people actually smiled happily.
Maybe he thought he could take over the Sheng family's connections?
A hint of disgust flashed across Jiang Wan's eyes, then she took the incense from the side and knelt on the ground devoutly.
When he stood up again, he reverently placed the incense in the incense burner.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang, for coming to see my parents off."
Sheng Duo's voice was a little hoarse from crying. She sniffed and her eyes were filled with tears.
In just one day, she felt as if she had experienced tens of millions of years.
"Who are they?"
Jiang Wan looked at the ladies who were welcoming the guests over there, and a hint of disgust appeared in Sheng Duo's eyes.
"It's my cousins and aunts."
Their parents' bodies were still warm yet they were smiling so happily, how could Sheng Duo not hate them.
"That ambitious look on his face doesn't mean he's here to help you."
Ruoshui always speaks directly, "Shengduo, if you want to keep what your parents left you, you have to be ruthless."
"Thanks."
Sheng Duo had been immersed in sadness and had never thought about these questions until Ruoshui reminded her.
She seemed to understand why these tribesmen appeared before her in waves.
As if she had thought of something, she smiled sarcastically, “When my father was alive, he would say that even if you break bones, you still have tendons.
No matter how bad they are, my father has never taken advantage of them. Now my father..."
Sheng Duo couldn't say this anymore, and she clenched her hands at her sides into fists.
"I have something to tell you."
Jiang Wan sighed. If the other party was really after the treasure map, those yamen runners would probably return empty-handed.
Sure enough, when Jiang Wan and Sheng Duo found a corner to chat privately, they asked about the results of the investigation.
Sheng Duo's face turned pale, "The people at the government office said they couldn't find any clues.
It's not like the people in Huangyang Town did it, it should be done by professionals."
Her teeth were chattering with hatred. Her family was so innocent.
"Sheng Duo."
Jiang Wan looked serious and felt around again, and found that no one was eavesdropping nearby.
Then he lowered his voice and asked her, "In your memory, do your parents have any special secrets hidden?
Those people were not after money, but they turned your house into this state. Now they are not chasing you, so they must have taken something away from your house."
Yes, if they hadn't succeeded, those people would have definitely secretly found a way to take things from Sheng Duo as soon as Sheng Duo came back.
But those people seemed to have disappeared, which was enough to show that what the other party wanted had been taken away.
Sheng Duo was stunned upon hearing this. She stood there blankly. After a long while, tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Sister Jiang was right in reminding me that there is such a thing, hidden in my father's study.
My parents usually don't allow me to touch anything, so I don't know what it is, I just know it is hidden in a scroll."
Sheng Duo ran to her study room like crazy, even though everything in the house had been cleaned up long ago.
Some people took the opportunity to steal a lot of things, but the books in the study are still there.
The only things missing were the valuable vases, ornaments and famous paintings.
Jiang Wan followed behind Sheng Duo and watched her start to pull a mechanism like crazy.
There is a small secret compartment behind the neatly stored books in the study.
Now the secret compartment is empty. Is this the thing that brought disaster to her family?
Sheng Duo slumped on the ground and murmured, "If I had known earlier, I would have torn up that scroll earlier."
"Who else knows about this thing in your house?"
Jiang Wan had probably guessed that the map that was taken away must be a treasure map, but she didn't know whether it was the same one as hers.
She didn't even know if the picture was complete.
But Master Sheng would never let too many people know about such a secret thing.
"My father is very cautious. If I hadn't caught him and mother watching, they wouldn't have told me."
Sheng Duo shook her head gently. "They didn't even tell me, let alone tell others easily, so I really don't know."
She didn't even know what it was.
"Sorry, it may be a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask you what your next plan is."
Jiang Wan didn't continue the topic since Sheng Duo didn't know what it was exactly.
This clue is basically broken.
She said: "Today your people found the house where we live and said that you will be married off from now on.
Maybe they want the property left by your parents. Do you have any way to deal with it?"
It is said that the Sheng family is the richest family in Huangyang Town, and it is not known whether Sheng Duo can handle it.
"Sister Jiang, to be honest, I haven't thought about these issues yet."
Sheng Duo was immersed in grief the whole day. She really couldn't accept the death of her loved one.
Jiang Wan could understand, so she didn't force her, "You should worry about your parents first.
I just want to remind you not to fall into the trap of those people."
"Well, thank you, Sister Jiang."
Sheng Duo's eyes were red, "I didn't expect that when I encountered trouble, it wasn't my former relatives who helped me.
On the contrary, it is you who I just met, and things in the world are really unpredictable. "
It turns out that what my parents said is not necessarily right. Broken bones are not connected to tendons. That’s bullshit!
"I will stay in your house for the time being. If anything happens, just tell me."
Jiang Wan looked at the hot tears on her cheeks. Perhaps because she had become a mother, she felt inexplicably soft-hearted.
