treacherous world

Chapter 43 Family Heirloom

Zhao Pu looked at the corpses in the coffin's room, and the bloody and dirty room. Gongsun was dressed in white and was busy with the autopsy, and somehow felt unhappy. a dead body.

Zhao Pu leaned against the door alone and was sulking. Gongsun looked up and saw that his face was blue and looked uncomfortable. He thought he was sick to his stomach seeing so many corpses.

"Zhao Pu, shush." ​​Gongsun waved at Zhao Pu like chasing a dog, signaling him to go out and play for a while.

Zhao Pu was a little weak, "Then what... bookworm, why don't you come out to catch your breath, isn't the smell disgusting?"

"That can't be helped." Gongsun continued the autopsy, "The sooner I finish the autopsy, the sooner I have clues, the sooner the injustice will be cleared up, after all, so many people died."

"Hmm..." Zhao Pu squatted on the threshold, staring at Gongsun.

"Look at what?"

"No." Zhao Pu smirked, "Bookworm, your back looks like a Bodhisattva..."

After finishing speaking, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, Zhao Pu quickly raised his hand to take it, and it turned out that Gongsun flew out the knife without any hassle.

Zhao Pu clapped the knife between his two fingers and patted his chest, "My dear... Kiss, you want to kill your husband."

"Are you talking nonsense again?!" Gongsun stared at Zhao Pu viciously with a knife, fork, tweezers, and said, "I know how to get cheap all day long!"

"Hey." Zhao Pule walked over, put the knife in Gongsun's hand, and stretched out his arms to hug him from behind.

"Hey." Gongsun's beautiful phoenix eyes gave him a sideways look, "Don't make trouble!"

"Let's rest for a while at the head office." Zhao Pu gently poked Gongsun's waist, "Do you want to combine work and rest?"

Gongsun struggled for a few times but still couldn't hold him back, so he had to give up at last, and gave him a blank look, "You know how to make trouble!"

Zhao Pu smirked, "Shall we find a place to relax?"

Gongsun kicked him, "I won't be able to do anything if you relax!" He said, holding Zhao Pu's finger, "Take your hand away, it's true to go out for a cup of tea, I want to eat, I'm hungry! "

"I'll eat it for you!" Zhao Pu was still tired, and Gongsun stepped on him, "There are so many dead people watching, you are really in the mood! Beware of lightning."

Zhao Pu was thick-skinned, he took Gongsun out to sit, washed his hands and drank tea, it was serious, although he said that the case was important, but misfortunes happened every day, things that God can't control, there is no reason for his family's Gongsun to work hard.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu went to the courtyard to have tea and rest, and chatted about the case again.

"Hmm... so many people died again, it's boring." Zhao Pu rested his chin in one hand and held a teacup in the other. "You said this murderer is really interesting. He pretended to be a ghost and killed so many people... I guess he has a deep hatred."

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, killing so many people is for revenge or to silence people." Gongsun frowned, "There are just a few reasons."

"Actually, there is only one reason." Zhao Pu smiled lightly, "It's just for myself."

Gongsun was stunned for a moment, seeing that Zhao Pu lacked interest, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "There are also those who serve the country and the people."

Hearing this, Zhao Pu was stunned for a while. He stared at Gongsun for a long time, couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to gently touch Gongsun's chin, "Is your mouth so sweet? Come on, give me a kiss!" "

Gongsun pinched Zhao Pu's cheeks to prevent him from approaching, stuffed the last piece of tea into his mouth, and ran into the office to continue the autopsy.

Seeing him running briskly, Zhao Pu picked up the cup that Gongsun had just drunk from the table with a smile, and took a sip... with emotion, it was really sweet.

Putting aside Gongsun and Zhao Pu's love affair and the post-mortem examination, Bai Yutang has already brought the fourth son outside Jiashan Building.

This Jiashan building is very grand. It is said that this building is not easy to enter with money, and needs to be related. In other words, this building is a private meeting place for several gentry families in Xinghua County.

Bai Yutang brought his fourth son to the front of the building around noon, and Li Feifei's family members were already waiting at the door. It was the shopkeeper from last night. Seeing someone coming, he hurried inside to invite him.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly - originally planned that Li Fei would not come and ask his family to help him, but he did not expect to come... There are really people in this world who have had their entire family wiped out and have no heart to do business.

Zhan Zhao was watching from the top of the building, just now he lifted the roof to look for it, and Li Feifei was in the private room on the top of the building, tasting wine leisurely, and there was a young man playing the piano.

This young man looks like a young boy with a bit of makeup, and his demeanor is completely incomparable to that of Bai Yutang.Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, since Li Feijiu likes that type...then he shouldn't have any thoughts on Bai Yutang, right?

After thinking about it, Zhan Zhao was discouraged again, why should he get angry in such a hurry?Bai Yutang has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and there are many people who covet him. He can deal with martial arts masters, princes and nobles, let alone this little Li Fei.

Soon, there was a light knock on the door, and Li Fei said, "Please."

The door opened, and the shopkeeper walked in with Bai Yutang and the fourth son.

"...Mr. Bai!" Li Fei hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Please sit down, please sit down."

Bai Yutang picked up the youngest son, put him on the table and sat down before he sat next to him. Looking up, he saw Li very ruddy sitting opposite him, with wine in his hand, dishes on the table, and a young man playing the piano beside him .

Bai Yutang secretly took pity on those wives and concubines who died for him—Lang's heart is like iron.

"Master Bai, I was frightened last night."

Contrary to Bai Yutang's expectations, Li Feifei himself started to talk about what happened last night, "I also heard from my servants that Mr. Bai is very skilled."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly—too bad, will his identity be exposed?After all, the yamen servants in the yamen also knew Bai Yutang's identity.

"I originally thought that Mr. Li would cancel today's agreement, after all, such a big event happened." Bai Yutang asked him back when he saw that he said nothing.

"Hehe." Li Weiwei smiled calmly, "It's okay, I'm not dead."

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and the fourth son beside him frowned, this man is so ruthless!

"They are all close relatives, and they died unexpectedly. Mr. Li's reaction is really strange." Bai Yutang drank from his teacup, inexplicably feeling a long-lost Jianghu atmosphere.Maybe he's been with Zhan Zhao for too long, and he's not used to such ruthless and cold words.Bai Yutang was fascinated when he thought of this, Zhan Zhao... is a man with love and righteousness.Those who are cold and heartless, no matter how good their skills are, are not real heroes, Bai Yutang always feels this way.

"People are always going to die." Li Wei brought some snacks to the fourth son, and said it as if other people's family members had died, "They died, I am sad that they will not come back to life, life is still Gotta get on with it."

Bai Yutang looked at him coldly, but didn't say a word, the world is full of wonders.

The fourth son felt sad, "Then don't you miss them? I won't see them in the future!"

Li Fei laughed, "It's still the same sentence, since it's dead, it's useless to think about it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently hugged the tea waiter's waist, letting him sit on his lap, smiling Said to Xiao Sizi, "Those who look back are doomed to miss the scenery ahead. Life is too short, so don't worry too much about other people's affairs, you are the most important thing."

He hugged the young man and fumbled, the young man showed a shy expression on his face, but he still looked at Bai Yutang from time to time.

The fourth son wrinkled his nose, this Li hated him so much, he was so selfish.Thinking of this, he glanced at Bai Yutang in the blink of an eye. There was still no change on his face, and he continued to drink tea.The fourth son still remembered that when he saw Bai Yutang for the first time, he was completely white, and he used his internal force to freeze a large bucket of water.At that time, the fourth son felt that Bai Yutang was very cold, could he also be a very indifferent person?So that day he reached out and touched Bai Yutang's palm, it was warm.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are very different in some places, but they are very similar in other places... The fourth son likes their warm hands the most.It's not right for Li Wei to think like that, what is life short, don't care about other people's life or death.Every year, Jiujiu takes the shadow guards to a large cemetery to worship. It is said that there are all those who died on the battlefield.Ninety-nine, they often say that it is betrayal for the living to forget their dead relatives and friends.To move forward, one does not have to forget the past!Keep the departed ones in your heart so they will always be there, always with you.

Li Fei saw the look of the little fourth son, so he knew that the little guy didn't like him, and it didn't matter, he was not interested in such a small child.

Bai Yutang put down his teacup, a little impatiently, "I'm here to see the ancient silk."

"I brought it." Li Fei said, beckoning lightly.

A follower came in behind him holding a black box and put the box on the table.

Zhan Zhao was on the roof, watching patiently. Fortunately, Li Fei didn't do anything special, and based on his words just now, the disgust in Bai Yutang's eyes was already obvious.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao continued to shake his head, it's really annoying, thinking wildly all day, who Bai Yutang likes and hates, has nothing to do with him in the first place!

Li Feifei opened the old ebony box, and saw a roll of vermilion silk and satin inside. The silk and satin did not know how to smudge. canopy.

Looking down from the roof, Zhan Zhao knew that Bai Yutang would definitely spend money this time, this thing is really precious!

The fourth son opened his eyes wide and looked at it. He often went to and from the palace, and he had seen many good things... But it was the first time he saw such silk and satin.

Bai Yutang saw that there was a faint golden luster in the vermilion silk, as if it was woven with extremely fine gold threads.Can't help but frown, the gold thread as thin as a hair...is it possible?

"Haha." Seeing Bai Yutang's expression very much, Li couldn't help laughing, "Master Bai has a good eye, this silk and satin is an ancestral treasure in the family, an ancient treasure."

After hearing this, Bai Yutang's heart moved, he and Zhan Zhao thought at the same time - this Li Gang has a lot of money, before he made a fortune, he was a rascal, penniless, where did he get the family treasure?

"Since it's so precious." Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Mr. Li is not short of money, so why sell it?"

Li Fei laughed, and said meaningfully, "Probably...I have a predestined relationship with Mr. Bai."

Bai Yutang thought to himself, what kind of reason is this?Want to prevaricate and find a better excuse?

Zhan Zhao on the roof squinted his eyes—it was close!

"Besides, if Mr. Bai really has someone to recommend this silk to the palace for me, then I, Li Ji Silk, will have a chance to become famous all over the world."

"Could it be that there is more than one piece of ancient silk?" Bai Yutang was curious, "Otherwise, even if you recommend it to others, you won't be able to buy it, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Bai, I, Li Ji, can already make this kind of silk by myself." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched his lips lightly, making a "shh", and whispered, "This is a secret, I only tell Mr. Bai Alright, Mr. Bai, keep it a secret for me."

Bai Yutang frowned secretly, and then looked down at the roll of silk and satin. If Li really mastered this ingenious skill, then wealth and glory would not be far away from him.It's just... if you have mastered this skill long ago, you can make silk and sell it.Every year, there are people in the court who collect rare things from all over the place to pay tribute to the palace. If his silks and satins are sold and become famous, people will naturally come to him. The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys!Why do you need to go through such a roundabout method?It always feels like something has been deliberately concealed.

"Young Master Bai..."

Li opened his mouth very much, and interrupted Bai Yutang, who was preoccupied with himself, "Are you interested?"

"..." Bai Yutang nodded, "How much money?"

"Master Bai, let's make an offer." Li Fei once again made an unexpected move.

The fourth son blinked, looked up at Bai Yutang - Bai Bai, does this person have a bad brain?

"I drive?" Bai Yutang was also surprised.

Zhan Zhao felt strange when he heard it on the roof—this Li Fei is really weird!I always feel like I'm calculating something.

"Master Bai, don't be polite to me." Li Wei leaned on the table, stared at Bai Yutang and said in a low voice, "As long as Mr. Bai asks, I will sell it for as much silver as possible."

Bai Yutang was taken aback, and Zhan Zhao touched his body, regretting why he didn't ask Gongsun for a pack of laxatives just now?It can be sprinkled in Li Chao's wine, this prodigal son!Bai Yutang was suspicious at first, but it wasn't the first time he had seen this kind of battle, so he calmly asked the fourth son, "What do you think, fourth son?"

The fourth son blinked, want to ask for a price? !

Bai Yutang saw that the fourth son was holding the back of his head and hesitated, so he asked Li very much, "I'll let him drive, is it okay?"

"Of course." Li Chong didn't seem to care how much money he sold this heirloom, Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and said to himself, is this a family heirloom or a hot potato?How do you feel worthless? !

The fourth son touched his little purse, how much does this... cost? !After much deliberation, I was cruel, "Hmm... 100 taels of silver!"

Bai Yutang gently supported his forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Zhan Zhao covered his mouth to avoid laughing, and said to himself, what a good little four!I said too much, I should have said ten taels of silver just now!

After the fourth son finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yutang and thought, will it be expensive?After all, in his opinion, 100 taels of silver was a lot, and he gave his father to Zhao Pu, and the dowry only cost 100 taels.

"Ah... Ah Choo." Gongsun sneezed out of Wu Zuo's room, and Zhao Pu hurried forward to show his hospitality, "Bookworm, are you cold? Shall we do warm-up exercises?" Gongsun kicked him out.

……

"Haha..." Li Feifei smiled and nodded, "Okay! It's only 100 taels."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, there was indeed a problem.

Zhan Zhao also felt that Li Fei must have some kind of plan.

"Sell the heirloom for such a cheap price?" Bai Yutang looked up at Li Fei who had stood up and was about to leave.

"Hehe." Li smiled very calmly, lowered his head, approached Bai Yutang and said, "I said before, I have a good relationship with Mr. Bai, as long as Mr. Bai asks, I will do anything."

The little four on the side hurriedly pulled Bai Yutang back, it was too close, I hated it, it was meowing meowing if I was touched by saliva!

After Li Fei finished speaking, he said his farewell with a smile, asked the shopkeeper to collect the money, left the silk, and left.Soon, he left Jiashan Building and walked far away. Bai Yutang watched from the window with his brows furrowed. He opened the box again and took out the silk and satin inside to look carefully.

This silk is like a roll of ice silk, it is as light as nothing in the hand, and its luster is as bright as water, it is definitely a rare treasure, let alone 100 taels, 1 taels are not expensive!

"What's going on with Li Wei?"

At this time, Zhan Zhao jumped in from the window, "It seems that he intends to leave things behind!

Bai Yutang nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly, he heard a "click" from the room, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, is there anyone? !
