Liu Yinghua was so excited that her whole body was shaking, and her voice was trembling and unclear, "Master, shall we go and take a look?"

Qin Jingchang was no longer reserved and responded briefly, "Let's go!"

The two of them rushed out of the door, one step deep and one step shallow, and went to the East Palace.

The East Palace is really quiet this time.

Except for the mourning hall in the front yard, the entire backyard was dead silent, without even a single lantern lit.

In the deep winter, even the insects have fallen silent.

Fortunately, it was the middle of the month, and the moon was round and bright, so even without a lantern, it would not obstruct our vision.

Qin Jingchang and Liu Yinghua walked hurriedly and silently in the corridor of the East Palace, one after the other.

Suddenly, a strange "coo coo" sound came from the flower trees in the mansion, and Liu Yinghua was so scared that she cried out "ouch".

She grabbed Qin Jingchang's hand and felt that her husband's palm was also full of sweat. She couldn't help but complain, "This damn bird scared me out of the blue."

My heart was pounding and almost jumped out of my throat.

Qin Jingchang swallowed his saliva, stiffened his neck and said nothing.

He would never admit that he was actually very scared.

I’m afraid of the “ghost” rumors in the East Palace these days.

Qin Jingchang silently held his wife's hand, and the two of them supported each other and went to the back room of the main courtyard.

The rear house was originally a row of bungalows on the top of a mountain, but was later converted into a two-story building by Qin Jingyuan.

Mainly used as a warehouse.

The bright moonlight reflected on the wall, as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

The warehouse has four rooms on one floor, and a heavy lock is hung on the wooden door.

Liu Yinghua's heart was pounding. She swallowed nervously and asked in a low voice, "Master, how do I open it?"

Qin Jingchang looked at the entire building carefully, then reached back and took out an iron rod from his waist.

Liu Yinghua asked in a low voice, "Is it possible?"

Qin Jingchang replied unhappily, "How about you go get the key from that damn girl?"

Liu Yinghua shut up immediately.

Qin Jingchang spat fiercely into his palm, "Do you really think that without the key, I can't do anything about this door?"

He inserted the iron rod into the gap between the lock and the door, held the iron rod tightly, and suddenly broke it down with force.

Unexpectedly, the lock and door remained motionless.

This is awkward.

Just bragged to my wife.

Qin Jingchang spat into his palm again and tried the same method again.

The result is still no.

Liu Yinghua finally couldn't help herself and said, "Master, when that damn girl left the house today, I changed her clothes from head to toe, and even re-combed her hair. Not to mention the key, she couldn't have taken even an embroidery needle with her."

Qin Jingchang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Liu Yinghua said aggrievedly: "The master didn't ask."

She thought Qin Jingchang would go to that dead girl's room to get the key first.

Qin Jingchang threw the iron bar away and said, "Let's go to that damn girl's room to find the key."

Liu Yinghua asked, "Those two girls over there?"

"Promise them a little favor, but if that doesn't work, find a place to bury them!"

In the darkness of the night, Qin Jingchang's sinister voice carried a chilling cruelty.

Liu Yinghua couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

The two of them arrived at Qin Shu's room.

Although the moonlight is bright, it is still dark.

In places where the moonlight cannot reach, the darkness seems to be filled with evil spirits that are difficult to distinguish between gods and ghosts.

Qin Jingchang took out the fire starter from his sleeve, found a white candle and lit it.

The room was suddenly lit up with a warm orange light.

Qin Jingchang turned around and looked at Qin Shu's room, saying, "Why is this damn girl's room so empty? It's like a snow cave."

Liu Yinghua was busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets, searching as she went on, "In the past, this dead girl's house was so luxurious and wealthy. My sister-in-law wanted to give all the good things to her. In the past, every time Yi'er came here, she would make a scene when she returned."

So what if it's good?

In the end, didn’t they get a bargain?

Liu Yinghua found a bunch of keys from the box under Qin Shu's dressing table and said, "This should be it."

Qin Jingchang took it and looked at it, then he and Liu Yinghua looked at each other, and they both saw fanaticism in each other's eyes.

The two returned to the main courtyard warehouse again.

After two simple attempts, the warehouse door lock made a slight "click" sound.

The two of them froze in place.

After a long time, Liu Yinghua carefully removed the iron lock and gently pushed the door open.

A unique fragrance of pear wood suddenly hit me in the face.

Liu Yinghua couldn't wait and rushed into the room without caring about her husband's rule that "a wife cannot have sex in front of her husband".

There were no windows in the warehouse, only a ray of moonlight at the door, and it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen clearly.

Qin Jingchang took out a tinderbox and lit the candle in his hand.

Before he could move his eyes away from the candle, he heard Liu Yinghua scream, "Master?!"

Qin Jingchang was so frightened that he wanted to cover the woman's mouth and shouted fiercely: "Shut up! What are you shouting about..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was already frozen in place.

The entire warehouse was empty, with nothing but dust on the floor, not even a hair!

How is this going? !

Qin Jingchang glanced at Liu Yinghua subconsciously.

Liu Yinghua was also confused and asked fearfully, "What's going on?"

Can't it?

During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, she had come here once with Nanny Chun. If she remembered correctly, this warehouse should be used to store heavy items such as screens, kang tables, and replacement tables and chairs.

Who could sneak these screens, which require several strong men to lift, out of the house under everyone's noses?

Could it be that before something happened to my eldest brother and his wife, this warehouse was emptied to store other treasures?

Liu Yinghua thought so, and so did Qin Jingchang.

He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Forget about this for now, let's go to another warehouse and have a look."

The two men locked the door again and opened the door of the adjacent warehouse.

Seeing this, Liu Yinghua and Qin Jingchang's hearts sank immediately: the inside was also empty, and compared to the first room, this one only had a few wooden frames left.

Originally, it contained various exquisite official kiln porcelains and purple clay jade cups.

Of course it is empty now.

Qin Jingchang looked a little ugly.

Liu Yinghua's heart was also pounding.

The two of them went out of the room in tacit understanding. After locking the door, Qin Jingchang turned around and went upstairs in two steps.

Liu Yinghua followed closely in silence.

When he arrived at the door of the warehouse on the second floor, Qin Jingchang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then, find the key and open the door.

However, he did not go in immediately, and told Liu Yinghua, "You go in first and take a look."

Liu Yinghua's mouth felt dry and bitter, her heart was beating in her throat, and she gently pushed open the door with trembling hands.

It's still empty inside!

She felt like she was about to cry, "Master, there is still nothing!"

what happened?

what on earth is it? !

Qin Jingchang felt like he was going crazy. He wanted to rush to his ancestral grave, dig Qin Jingyuan and his wife out of the coffin, and ask them what was going on!

What about those treasures?

Where have they all gone? !

Qin Jingchang's voice was shaking violently. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Let's go to other warehouses and have a look."

The two men walked to the adjacent warehouse in silence.

Liu Yinghua remembered that this warehouse was filled with her sister-in-law's jewelry.

What she cares about most!
