Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

As Jin Sanye recalled the past, he described the scene. Father Jin sighed and said, "My child, sometimes curiosity is too strong, which can kill you. Fortunately, I was the only one there today, otherwise you would have died long ago. What do you want to do with your father?"

Mr. Jin Sanye said, "Father, what happened to you that day? Why is there so much blood?" Father Jin didn't want to talk about what happened that day, as he felt that it was a bit secretive. But he couldn't stand his son's repeated questioning, so he sighed and said, "That night, father killed more than 50 people."

It was a very calm sentence, but it frightened the young Mr. Jin. Fifty lives were not worth mentioning in his father's mouth, which made Mr. Jin, who was still inexperienced, a little afraid of his father. Father Jin touched his son's head and said, "What? Are you scared?" Mr. Jin nodded and said, "Father, why did you kill so many people?"

Father Jin snorted coldly and said, "We asked those people to keep the secret. Son, you must remember that the people who are best at keeping secrets in this world are the dead. Because the dead can't speak at all, but the mouths of the living can move."

When he said this, Mr. Jin sighed deeply. It has been almost thirty years, and I will never forget that scene. My father's cold eyes made me feel cold. About half a month later, one night my father suddenly came home with injuries. When my mother saw my father like this, she quickly helped him in.

My mother wanted to ask a doctor, but my father sighed and said, "There's no need. I won't make it through the night. I didn't expect that I was so loyal to my master, but in the end he would regard me as a thorn in his side. I really regret it. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have served him as a knife and killed those brothers."

The mother looked at the father with tears in her eyes and said, "You... who hurt you?" Father Jin spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "You don't need to know this. When I die, dig a hole and bury me. Then you and your son should quickly pack up your belongings and leave. It's best to leave this city. The lower your profile, the better."

Father Jin took out half of a map from his pocket and said, "This half piece of paper contains half a map, which is related to the royal treasure. Many lives have been lost for this treasure. You and your son must keep this map well, it may be your protection in the future."

Father Jin sighed and said, "It's a pity that the other half of the map is in that brother's hands. Otherwise, if the two maps were combined into one, we could dig out their treasure. Then our two families would become prominent nobles. What a pity, what a pity, that brother should have passed away before me."

When Jin Sanye said this, his face was already in tears. At his age, he no longer wanted to seek a noble position, but just wanted his family to live safely. He took out a pendant from his neck. There was a mechanism inside the pendant that could split it into two halves. Jin Sanye took out the half of the map from it and handed it to the middle-aged man next to him.

The middle-aged man slowly unfolded the small half of the map and looked at it. The things drawn on it were quite sloppy. The edges of the map were torn very irregularly, and it was obvious that it was done intentionally. The middle-aged man took a detailed look, and from the yellowing of the paper, he felt that what Mr. Jin San said was true.

The middle-aged man asked Master Jin Sanye, "Who is this Brother Na? You mean the lower half of the map? It should be on him." Master Jin Sanye nodded and said, "That should be the case. This Brother Na should be the deputy captain of the guards. He and my father have a life-and-death friendship, but it is impossible for this person to still be alive. So the chance of finding that half of the map is very slim."

The middle-aged man slapped the table and said, "For the future of the party and the country, we must find the remaining half of the map. Did your father say anything to you before he died?" Mr. Jin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Nothing. I have already told you everything I should have said."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Oh, are you sure you have told me everything and haven't forgotten anything?" Mr. Jin smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "Of course I have said everything I should say. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do." The middle-aged man said, "How could that be? We trust Mr. Jin very much. We completely believe in Mr. Jin, you can rest assured."

Mr. Jin nodded, thought for a moment and said, "It's getting late now. I want to leave. I wonder if it's ok?" The middle-aged man smiled strangely and said, "Of course you can. If you need Mr. Jin's help in the future, we will definitely come to your house to teach you. You should also take the young master back. Don't be rash and let him get lost in the future."

Mr. Jin San had a dark face and said, "I'm learning from you." Mr. Jin San carried his grandson and left without even looking at Xiao Wu and Mr. Na Hong. Na Hong looked at the middle-aged man and said, "It's obvious that this kid didn't tell the truth. Why didn't you continue to deceive him?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You have to remember that this matter must be boiled like a frog in warm water. Sooner or later, this treasure will be ours, why are you in such a hurry? I have to say that you are really smart. You let me pretend to be someone from the Secret Service and actually tricked this old guy out. What should we do next? Should we really send Jin San's son and grandson away?"

Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you so stupid? Our ultimate goal is to make money. We are not from the Secret Service, so why should we listen to Jin Saner? When the time comes, we can just use the tactic of procrastination to bring him down. The map in our hands is our biggest gain today. We have collected this map with great difficulty, and we are only missing the last one."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, took out another piece of the map from his bag, and started to piece it together. But he saw that there was still a small piece missing from the right corner, and he said helplessly, "It's still missing a piece of the map, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

The old man smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "A small mistake can lead to a big mistake. We still have to collect the other small piece of the map for him. Damn it, that old man was so damn abominable that he tore the good half of the map into two halves. It really made me damn mad. Otherwise, we would have found the treasure long ago, and there would be no need to suffer here."
