"There's another thing. Wanli hasn't been going out much lately, but whenever he does, he takes out a lot of money. I guess he has a plan in mind and is planning to do something."
"Ha, with a brain like his, anyone with a brain would know he wanted to run away with the money. Now that Liu Hai is dead, he's worried he'll die too."
"Don't keep those who don't obey. If the Wan family gets involved, it will be troublesome."
"The Wan family now has some power; it's not easy to make a move against them..."
After Zhao Jiu said all this, he also talked about the situation in the capital. After this conversation, Mingzhu had a clear understanding of the situation.
"Alright, you go and arrange things now. I'll cooperate with you. We'll have dinner together tonight too." After saying this, Zhao Jiu returned to her usual gentle demeanor.
Upon hearing this, Mingzhu immediately put down her cup, stood up, greeted Zhao Jiu and her mother-in-law, and then went out.
The study fell silent. Zhao Jiu kept his eyes on the items on the bookshelf while quietly drinking tea.
After the kettle was empty, Zhao Jiu got up and went to the door, locking the study door from the inside. Then he went to the telephone, and Lin Xiaoxiao knew he was about to make a call.
Lin Xiaoxiao carefully walked up to Zhao Jiu to check the number dialed on the phone, and silently memorized the number.
After giving the other party a brief order to contact Mingzhu, Zhao Jiu promptly hung up the phone. The instant she hung up, Zhao Jiu's gaze turned towards the direction where Lin Xiaoxiao was.
Lin Xiaoxiao began to tense up, feeling that Zhao Jiu was staring at her neck. She felt that if there was a knife nearby, he would not hesitate to pick it up and slash her neck, which was chilling.
That look lasted for a few seconds before returning to normal.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought she had been discovered and was already prepared for battle, only to find it was a false alarm. It has to be said that people who have been on the battlefield are really sharp, and the killing intent on their bodies does not disappear with time; it just depends on whether they want to hide it or not.
She was glad that she had the idea to make each of them a set of clothes today; otherwise, they would never have known that the enemy was right beside them, knowing all their plans and strength.
Given this advantage, they are certain that this faction has a high probability of failing, and they will probably only realize at the moment of defeat that the enemy has always been by their side.
Not only will the Han family suffer, but the Kong family and the remaining two families will likely also be in dire straits, and whether their children can be born safely and smoothly is also uncertain.
This person is a viper! Now that she's here, she'll make sure this scum gets his comeuppance and is despised by the world!
Lin Xiaoxiao was extremely angry and disgusted by the person in front of her. She picked out several handy items in her space, ready to teach this scum a lesson, but she stopped when she saw Zhao Jiu's actions.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jiu walked to the shelf, touched the broken bowl, and saw a hidden door in the wall next to the study. He went straight in.
A long staircase appeared in the hidden door. Lin Xiaoxiao followed it in and found that the air inside was dry, not humid. It was clear that Old Bi Deng's secret room was managed, and the things inside must be extraordinary.
They soon arrived at the secret room. When Lin Xiaoxiao saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, "Trojans! Super rojans!"
The secret room was quite large, at least 60 square meters, and was beautifully decorated, dazzling even Lin Xiao, who had seen many treasures.
It's very clean and bright, and if you smell it carefully, you can even smell a faint sandalwood fragrance.
Zhao Jiu had made the entire secret room very clean, even the walls had been plastered. Both the boxes and the tabletops were exceptionally clean. Lin Xiaoxiao looked around, shaking her head in amazement.
No wonder they're so dazzling; each one of these could be a museum's prized possession.
Exquisite glass cups, and beautifully carved antique display shelves.
The display shelves are filled with exquisitely carved wooden ornaments, and the hanging calligraphy and paintings include some depicting shrimp and others horses.
Beside the wall stood a very exquisite jade Buddha. In front of the jade Buddha was an incense burner. As soon as Zhao Jiu came in, he lit three incense sticks and bowed to the jade Buddha statue.
If Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know that showing up would ruin things, she would have loved to spit on Zhao Jiu's face right now.
She couldn't help but laugh in anger. A ruthless person with faith? Did they want to beg for Buddha's forgiveness? Bah! For such a person to offer incense to this Buddha statue is an insult to Buddha.
After calming herself down, Lin Xiaoxiao continued watching from inside.
Her gaze was drawn to the center.
In the very center, Zhao Jiu had even put a glass case over the treasure inside. When Lin Xiaoxiao went closer to take a look, wow!!!
This is an incense burner, and it is exceptionally exquisite. Both the materials and the carvings are masterpieces. The whole object seems to have a magical quality; once you see it, you can't take your eyes off it.
The more Lin Xiaoxiao looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
This...this gilt bronze Boshan incense burner!!!
If this were in later generations, it would definitely be a prized possession of any museum.
Not only was there an incense burner, but there was also a very cute little horse next to it. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what it was called, but anything that Zhao Jiu could put in the proportional cover must be something special.
