Chapter 232 Hand over the treasure
"I finally found you. Why aren't you hiding from me anymore?"
The young master in brocade robe who bought their house narrowed his eyes and looked at them grimly.
Aunt Jiang stood in front of Ye Mingzhu: "What do you want to do?"
The young master in brocade robes remained silent. The arrogant servant beside him snorted in dissatisfaction, "What do you want? You sold us a shabby house, and you still ask us what we want to do?"
Ye Mingzhu felt like the shoe was about to drop. Ever since she sold the house to the other party, she had a feeling that the other party would cause trouble.
I was a little worried at first, but when it really came, I wasn’t worried anymore.
"What do you mean by a dilapidated house?" Ye Mingzhu sneered, "You came to us and wanted to buy our house, but now you think it's dilapidated? Did I force you to sell the house to you?"
The young master in brocade robe narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Mingzhu carefully. He was not sure whether the things in the house had been taken away by this family, so he wanted to trick her.
"If you didn't take the things in the room, how could you sell it to me so easily?"
"Is there a problem with me selling the house to you?" Ye Mingzhu's face was full of anger: "You insisted on buying my house, not me begging to sell it to you."
"We haven't even been inside the house since you bought it. What can we bring out?"
"Or did you leave something in that house that you're planning to blame on us?"
The young master in brocade robe frowned. She was not sure whether what Ye Mingzhu said was true or false.
"Who knows if you took the things out in advance?" The principal's servant curled his lips and spoke.
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Maybe you found something and hid it secretly, and now you are crying thief."
The young master in brocade robes looked at the arrogant servant, who jumped up and down: "You are talking nonsense. I won't do that. The house has been demolished. There is nothing found except stones and wood."
Ye Mingzhu looked as if she had suddenly realized something: "So you guys demolished the house, and now you're looking for me to compensate you for it?"
As she spoke, she took a few steps back, as if she was afraid that the young master in brocade robe would rely on her.
They argued at the entrance of the restaurant, attracting many onlookers. Naturally, some of them had heard that there was a house in the alley that contained a treasure.
Looking at the appearance of Young Master Jinpao and Ye Mingzhu now, some people say that Ye Mingzhu’s family sold the house because they dug up a treasure, while others say that Young Master Jinpao dug up a treasure and was afraid that others would know, so he put the blame on Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu listened to the discussions around her, her face showing worry, but her heart felt a little relaxed.
The young master in brocade robes had never been surrounded by so many people. His expression became increasingly ugly as he stared at Ye Mingzhu: "Do you swear that you didn't take anything from the house?"
The arrogant servant looked at her with disdain: "If you don't dare to swear, you must have taken it. Hand it over quickly, and my young master can spare your life."
Ye Mingzhu is not an ancient person and has no feelings about swearing, but she does not want to be forced to swear.
"Why, are you the county magistrate or the prefect? What rank are you? You want my life?"
The arrogant servant opened his mouth but did not dare to reveal his master's name.
The young master in brocade robes stared at Ye Mingzhu: "You haven't sworn yet?"
"If I swear, you will stop staring at me?" Ye Mingzhu sneered. "If I swear, will you believe that I didn't take anything and stop bothering me in the future?"
The young master in brocade robe asked Ye Mingzhu to swear first.
"You are bullying me by saying this. What? Do you think she has no one to support her?" A nonchalant voice came from the back of the crowd.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Someone pushed through the crowd and walked in from the outside.
Ye Mingzhu was stunned. She didn’t expect it to be Fu Chengyun and Ye Wu?
Ye Wu winked at Ye Mingzhu, and Fu Chengyun rolled his eyes at her.
"Tell me how you bully others." Fu Chengyun shook a folding fan in his hand and looked at the young master in brocade robe with a smile.
The young master in brocade robes looked at Fu Chengyun, who looked like a dandy, and clasped his fists. "Excuse me, what is this young master's name?"
"Why should I tell you? I just came here to watch the fun and want to know how you bully others." Fu Chengyun tilted his head. His extraordinary temperament made the young master in brocade robe know that his identity was not ordinary.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, so please don't get involved." The young master in brocade robe's brain was spinning rapidly, guessing Fu Chengyun's identity.
"How do you know it has nothing to do with me? Let me tell you, all such trivial matters have something to do with me." Fu Chengyun really didn't lie. In the capital, he was involved in too many such matters.
The young master in brocade robe opened his mouth several times but didn't say anything. Could he say that he bought the other party's house and thought there was a treasure, but didn't dig it out?
Although the price he paid for the house was high, it was not the price of a treasure.
"He bought my house and now he comes to me and says I took things from his house."
Although Ye Mingzhu didn't know why Fu Chengyun helped her, it didn't prevent her from taking advantage of the situation.
"When he bought our house, he didn't even let me in. We didn't take anything. The neighbors saw it all."
Ye Mingzhu said calmly, "Although you paid a little more for the house, that was your own choice, not something I asked you for."
"You woman, the price we gave you at that time could have bought two houses." The arrogant servant thought Ye Mingzhu was too shameless and shouted loudly.
"Didn't you hear that there might be treasures in my house?" Ye Mingzhu pointed at everyone. "We all live in this town. Have you ever heard that there are treasures in Yuan Xiucai's house?"
As soon as this was said, someone nodded: "It has been said for many years, but no one has ever seen what the treasure looks like."
"You thought there was a treasure in the house, so you paid extra money to buy it. Now that there is no treasure, you come to find fault again?" Fu Chengyun stared at the young master in brocade robes mockingly, "You also believe in legendary treasures?"
The young master in brocade robe could not say that he had any definite news, so he simply pointed at Ye Mingzhu and said that they had dug up the treasure.
Ye Mingzhu spread her hands and said, "Then tell me what the treasure looks like?"
The young master in brocade robe was speechless and stammered, unable to say anything.
Ye Mingzhu shouted, "There must be at least eight, if not ten, families who have lived in that house. How could you be so sure that the treasure belonged to my family?"
"As for how long we've lived here, we've only been here for a few days. The previous family lived here for years. They said the house was empty, so someone might have entered. Why do you insist we took the treasure?"
The young master in brocade robe could say that he had checked the previous people and there was no problem, but Ye Mingzhu's husband was appointed as a captain by the court?
He suspected that the military book was taken away by Jiang Hongyu.
