Chapter 35

"It's like this. The kidnappers said last night that they want the Ning family to take out 1000 taels of silver and bury it under an old elm tree in the back mountain. They will release the child after receiving the money. Yin Butou asked the brothers to hide it carefully. Surround that old elm tree tighter than an iron barrel, so long as someone comes out to dig money under the elm tree, they will never go out to circle it! Our magistrate Wang also attaches great importance to this case, and specially dispatched a lot of first-class yamen servants , to help in the ambush. But who would have thought that the young master of the Ning family ran back by himself not long after the servants of the Ning family brought the shovel and buried the silver and waited for a long time."

Wen Xiaoyun opened her eyes wide, listening to the fascination, "The child ran back by himself?"

Mao Er said with an exaggerated expression, "That's right, they have all beards and tails, not even a single hair missing. Grandpa Ning remembered the 1000 taels of silver under the tree, and he didn't even bother to assign the servants, so he went straight to the old elm tree. Go down and dig it yourself. Who knows that after digging, I only found an empty cloth bag, and all the silver in it was gone.”

Wen Xiaoyun pinched her chin and thought, "Did that kid say anything?"

Cat Ear: "That doll didn't know anything, he just said he slept and didn't see anyone. When he woke up, he found himself sitting in a carriage, and an old grandmother told him to go home. He got out of the car, After running into the street for a while, I ran into the house."

"So evil?" Wen Xiaoyun frowned.

"That's quite the evil," the cat's ears approached Wen Xiaoyun and asked in a low voice, "Everyone said that the evil in this case was not done by humans, but by ghosts."

"The theory of ghosts and gods is not credible." Wen Xiaojun brought back the topic in time, "Back to the case, so the 1000 taels of silver are the main concern of Ning's richest man and Wang Zhifu now?"

"That's not it." Cat's ears blinked, "I lost 1000 taels of silver right under my own nose, and everyone has to be impatient. You know, it's a big ingot of ten taels, a total of one hundred. But the weight of hundreds of catties!"

The cat's ears looked left and right, suddenly lowered his voice, and said mysteriously to Wen Xiaoyun, "Everyone in the Ning House has said that this is a case done by evil spirits. It is said that the Ning family started from scratch and became the richest man in Yanzhou overnight. Jin Yuanbao turned into a little monster."

The corners of Wen Xiaoyun's mouth twitched slightly, and she just said that ghosts and gods are not enough, and even little monsters will come out.

"Can Yuanbao become a monster?" She asked cooperatively.

"That's not it," Mao Er lowered his voice, "Everyone in Yanzhou knows this legend, and even the servants of the Ning family are talking about it. They also said that monsters have no good intentions. I will give you one, and you will get back ten later. The Ning family has been prosperous for so long, and now it is time for the monsters to fight back. They all said that this 1000 taels is just the beginning, and in the future, the Ning family’s wealth will be lost. I can't keep it."

Wen Xiaoyun's eyebrows jumped.

This thing is getting weirder and weirder.

"Brother Er, when did the saying about the ingot fairy spread to our Yamen brothers?"

Cat Ear raised his hand and scratched his head, looking up at the sky and thinking hard, "When? It seems like—"

But before he could say the following words, a black shadow suddenly flew diagonally, and slammed into Wen Xiaoyun's left!
