"Yellow Word 003."
"Young Marshal, you absolutely cannot do that. If something happens to you, what will happen to our tens of thousands of Zhan family soldiers? You go out first and leave this to us. If I make the right choice, we will deliver the treasure to you intact." Adjutant Xu saluted Zhan Hengyi as if it was his final farewell.
Zhan Heng Yigen didn't listen to him. He took the key and went to open the door. Click, the lock was opened. He pulled the door open.
The adjutant and the guards all shuddered and closed their eyes, but-
There was no explosion.
The door opened, and the jewels placed in the small space inside the door emitted a strange light, illuminating the surrounding antique vases, jade cabbages, and ice and fire jade unicorns.
"Young Marshal, you are so awesome!" Adjutant Xu's voice was trembling with excitement. The young marshal had won the gamble with his life.
The man, barely breathing from the beating, was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide when Adjutant Xu stuffed a glove into his mouth. "Want to die? That's not that easy."
If I can't find out who's behind this, I'll take your last name."
Adjutant Xu has been with Zhan Hengyi for a long time, and his style of doing things has become somewhat like Zhan Hengyi's.
Zhan Hengyi finished his action and quickly evacuated the mine with the antique jewelry.
…
Everything was over. On the way there, Zhan Hengyi's mind was full of that girl. How could she be so capable at such a young age?
-
The next day, the morning light rose slightly.
Miserable cries were heard from the Nan family mansion.
"Nan Yuanzhong, open the door, open the door, open the door!
Don’t hide in there and keep silent, I know you are home!!”
“Woo, woo…”
…
Nan Xiaoxiao was awakened by the sound of cursing and a child crying, and got up in a daze.
After quickly washing up, he put on a scarlet-colored slanted-collar shirt and pushed the door open to go out.
She saw that her father Nan Yuanzhong and mother Xu Yun had already opened the door.
A group of people rushed into the courtyard, including the old, weak, sick and disabled. The woman in the lead looked to be in her thirties, with a shrewd and mean face. Her nose was flat and turned outward like Zhu Bajie's. She wore a cheongsam with golden peony inverted sleeves, looking like a brothel owner. "Nan Yuanzhong, look at these families of the people you have harmed half to death. Do you still have the nerve to live like this?"
After Wang Guiqin finished speaking, she turned around and gave a look to the group of old, weak and sick people.
The group began to cry and howl.
"My husband is still in the hospital and is about to die. Poor my five young children. How will I live in the future?"
"My father was killed by poisoned tea. His body is still at home. We have no money for a funeral. He's going to rot. The Nan family is guilty of heinous crimes. They killed people and didn't pay for their crimes!"
…
Wang Guiqin crossed her arms over her chest and glanced at the Nan couple with her phoenix eyes. Seeing them at a loss and looking instantly older, she twitched the corners of her mouth with a sense of pride.
Nan Xiaoxiao was just wondering who this person was when a plump, thin young man came trotting over from the main house to her side, "Little sister, she is the proprietress of the Bama Teahouse in Jiangcheng. Half a month ago, she and the owners of several other teahouses in Jiangcheng jointly bought a batch of tea from our Nan Family Tea Garden in order to lower the purchase price.
After the incident with that batch of tea, she was the one who brought the teahouse owners and the families of the poisoned people to our house to make trouble time and again.
"We agreed last time that after ten days, Dad would pay them 5,000 yuan in one lump sum, and now she's making trouble again after only four days. I have to teach her a lesson today!" He rolled up his sleeves angrily.
The one who spoke was the old man of the Nan family, Nan Shaoqing. He was strong and fat, with single eyelids and a melancholy look, thick lips, a hoarse and low voice, and short hair combed back. There was an inexplicable sense of joy just standing there.
"Hey, brother!" Nan Xiaoxiao grabbed his arm, "Those people were poisoned, and it was said that it was caused by drinking Nan's tea. Where's the evidence?" She had only been here for a few days, and she only heard her parents say that they had to pay compensation. She didn't know the details.
"The inspector of the police station personally investigated. The dog died after drinking tea made from Nan's tea leaves. Luckily, my uncle knew the inspector of the police station, so my father was not arrested and was only fined.
"Since our ancestors founded the Nan Family Tea Garden in the previous dynasty, nothing like this has ever happened. I really don't know what went wrong this time. The order of planting and harvesting tea is exactly the same as before!" Nan Shaoqing scratched his head with his fat fingers.
"The so-called investigation is to let the dog drink tea?" Too ridiculous.
Nan Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly cold as she looked closely at the face of the woman who led the trouble.
