Chapter 042: The Witty Wu Sansheng
He just doesn't like to talk, and he has no objection to money, so of course he won't refuse.
The reward given by Wu Sansheng was indeed generous. If Hei Xiazi knew about this, he would definitely be envious and jealous to the point of being completely shattered.
There's no way. Everyone in the underworld knows that Zhang Qiling is trustworthy and doesn't talk much, but as for Hei Xia Zi...all I can say is that those who understand will understand.
Wu Sansheng's behavior was to use money to buy Zhang Qiling's credibility and act as a guarantee for him. The money he gave was not too much at all.
Zhang Qiling also understood that if he was exposed in the future, he would definitely be labeled a liar.
But he doesn't make a living by his reputation. With the example of Hei Xia Zi around him, he doesn't value reputation at all.
To outsiders, Hei Xia Zi's character and reputation may seem terrible, but he is capable and experienced, so those who need to be hired will still invite him.
Zhang Qiling's eyes flashed with coldness as he pinched the neck of the jade figurine, completely severing the life of the corpse inside.
"What are you doing, little brother? He's still breathing. What if he's still alive?"
Wuxie grabbed Zhang Qiling's hand, his eyes revealing innocent stupidity, which made Wu Sansheng, who was right next to him, look upset. He felt that Wuxie was almost losing all the face of Wujia.
"The answers you want are all in that box."
Zhang Qiling glanced at the box next to the jade figurine, and Wu Sansheng picked up the box before Wuxie.
The last time he got the golden silk book, Wu Sanxing only asked for the silk book, but Hei Xiazi directly used money to open the box and didn't let him touch it.
This was the first time Wu Sansheng took a good look at the box and found a shiny keyhole on it, which looked similar to the key he had taken out of the female corpse's mouth before.
Wait, they looked carefully and found no other keys here. If that key was for this ebony box, then the box that the blue-eyed fox corpse was holding before did not need a key. It was a mechanism box!
Wu Sansheng's face instantly darkened even more.
So last time he only had to pay to open this ebony box, and there was no need to spend that extra money to let Black Blind Man open the box in the hands of the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse!
He doesn't know how to unlock the door, so he can't open the box with the key, but he is not incapable of solving the mechanism, so he can open the box by himself.
It was also his fault that he didn't check carefully at the time and was cheated out of money by Hei Xia Zi.
"Uncle San, these two should be a set."
Wuxie took the key out of his pocket and waved it in front of Wu Sansheng.
Wu Sansheng ignored Wuxie's hand that was trying to take the box, took the key and inserted it into the keyhole.
Facing Wuxie's expectant and curious gaze, Wu Sansheng felt an immense pressure and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Before he could put the fake silk book in, he had taken the real one out and used it as a template, so the box was now empty.
He cast a look at Pan Zi, his most trusted subordinate. With years of tacit understanding, Pan Zi instantly understood that he needed his help to divert attention.
But his performance couldn't be too abrupt. He pretended to look around casually. Pan Zi didn't find an opportunity to attract anyone's attention, so he could only give Wu Sansheng a helpless look.
Wu Sansheng gritted his teeth in his heart, it seemed that he had to do it himself.
The fake silk book was in his trouser pocket at the moment. It only took him a second to put the fake silk book in the moment the box was opened.
At the critical moment, Wu Sansheng was quick-witted. Just before he unlocked the box and opened it, he suddenly looked towards a cave on the vine-covered stone wall with a sharp gaze and shouted in alarm:
“Who’s there!”
Because Wu Sansheng's expression was too real, and he was so shocked and sudden, everyone present subconsciously tensed up and turned their heads to look over vigilantly.
Wu Sansheng took advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was diverted, quickly opened the box with one hand, and reached into his pocket for the fake silk book with the other.
But just as he took out the silk book, his hand was suspended in the air, and before he could put the silk book into the box, Wuxie suddenly turned around and saw him.
Wuxie, who had long known the character of his third uncle, keenly felt that there was something wrong with Wu Sansheng's sudden remarks. He turned his head back before he could fully see the scenery in front of him.
When he turned around, he saw an empty box and Wu Sansheng's hand holding a silk book, suspended in mid-air. Wuxie felt that he had discovered the truth.
Wu Sansheng was caught on the spot and froze in place for a moment.
"Okay, Uncle San! I caught you, right? I knew you were going to take the things away secretly!"
Wuxie grabbed Wu Sansheng's hand and snatched the silk book from him, with a smug gleam in his eyes.
Wu Sansheng opened his mouth, speechless. Finally, he decided to admit the crime of wanting to monopolize the matter and began to defend himself in a hypocritical manner.
"Nephew, how could you think of me like that? I just wanted to take it out and take a look at it first."
"Oh, if I had been a step later you would have put the thing in your pocket.
You were so startled just now, weren't you just trying to divert our attention so you could take this thing away?"
Waving the silk book in front of him, Wuxie looked unconvinced, thinking that Wu Sansheng just thought he was naive and wanted to fool him.
"Ahem, ahem..."
Fatty Wang suddenly coughed beside him and nudged Wuxie with his arm.
Wuxie was feeling secretly happy about having Wu Sansheng's true face exposed. When he touched her, she turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Fatty Wang winked at Wuxie, signaling him to look across.
Wuxie suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were fixed on that place. He turned around in confusion, then his eyes widened to find that there was indeed a person in a cave on the cliff, and it was an acquaintance he had just met not long ago.
Wu Sansheng also noticed something was wrong at this moment and looked in the direction they were looking.
Zhang Moyu had been hiding well in the cave behind the vines. Seeing that they seemed to be fine, he wanted to go upstairs and wait for Zhang Qiling.
As a result, as soon as he stood up and before he turned around, he saw Wu Sansheng yelling towards him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This person was so perceptive that he was discovered as soon as he moved. Even Zhang Qiling didn't notice him.
Now that he was discovered, Zhang Moyu had nowhere to hide. He simply pushed aside the vines that were blocking his way and revealed his figure.
Wu Sansheng, Aning and Pan Zi, who didn't know Zhang Moyu, looked at him warily, thinking that besides them, there was another group of people eyeing this tomb.
When Zhang Qiling saw that it was him, the expression on his face softened a little and he secretly relaxed his guard.
The one who was more relaxed than him was Wuxie, who had already waved towards Zhang Moyu.
"Brother Mo!"
Hearing Wuxie's excited words, Zhang Moyu sighed silently in his heart, but didn't say much.
