The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 235
In the treasury of Wuhou Mansion.

Jia Jing was looking forward to the remaining box.

After all, the first box that Jia Jing opened contained a high-quality spiritual object, and the second box might be another surprise!

Tear off the seal, unlock the lock, and finally lift the lid...

A series of actions flowed like clouds and flowing water.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

"Sure enough, surprises like the one just now are really uncommon!"

Inside the box, Jia Jing first opened several small deerskin pockets containing gems, and the colorful gems shone brightly under the bright candlelight from Curry.

The people who were still admiring the boulder were suddenly attracted by the luster of the gemstone, and turned their attention to it.

In the box, apart from these small buckskin pockets and two leaning long knives, the rest are some delicate silverware carefully packaged, including knives, forks, bowls and plates, all of which are complete. They are all carved with many exquisite patterns and patterns, embedded with shiny gemstones of various sizes, large and small.

In the candlelight, a heap of shining and delicate gemstones and utensils shone brightly.

Under this situation, even Lin Daiyu, who has always been unconventional, and Xue Baochai, who likes to be clean, couldn't help but shine.

Jia Jing was a little disappointed in her heart, after all, the things in this box were all ordinary things, but even after adjustments, those spiritual things themselves were extremely precious and rare things, otherwise the original monk and Taoist duo would not Will search hard for decades but find nothing, and finally have to take a desperate risk at Jia's house.

It is extremely lucky to be able to get a first-class spiritual object today!

Jia Jing took out the two long knives that were placed obliquely in the box, and said to Daiyu and Baochai: "You can take the items in this box to the warehouse over there. If you like anything, Just take it and use it, they are all ordinary objects!"

What Jia Jing said made Zijuan Yinger next to her speechless.

"If any of these gem vessels are placed outside, they can be called precious treasures, but in the eyes of Lord Hou, they are far inferior to that luminous stone!"

Jia Jing smiled and said: "What I'm looking for is a rare and special one. The gems and utensils in this box, even though they are luxurious and rare things, are really far inferior to that big stone here. of!"

After all, Jia Jing looked at the two long knives in his hand again.

Pull it out gently.

Then, a long knife with numerous water-like patterns on its surface appeared in Jia Jing's eyes.

Under the reflection of the light from the outside world, on the blade surface of the long knife, the pattern of water ripples presents the shape of a rose claw, and there are even stripes running across the surface.

"Isn't this a Uzi steel (Damascus) long knife?!"

Jia Jing recognized the material of the long knife in his hand at a glance, and then flicked it with his fingers. The material of this knife was obviously different from that of Dazhou's mainstream weapons, and there was a clear buzzing sound, "The toughness is not bad. !"

With a knife in his hand, Jia Jing put the knife back into the sheath, "This Utz steel long knife has excellent sharpness, toughness and other performances, but this weight..."

Weighing the long knife in his hand, Jia Jing made up his mind that it should be rewarded to his subordinates as a treasure, because it is too awkward to use lightly!
After all, Jia Jing at this time is a man with artifact-level weapons and equipment!

The mere two long knives of Uzi steel were naturally ignored by him.

After receiving Jia Jing's order, the servants hurriedly moved the big box containing precious stones and gold and silver vessels to the area of ​​the treasury where valuables were placed. Point registration.

During this period, Xue Baochai's gaze inadvertently glanced at the shelf on one side, but her expression froze for a moment involuntarily.

After returning to Jia Jing's side, Xue Baochai immediately asked, "Did Third Brother and Sister Lin take anything from the treasury today?"

Jia Jing and Daiyu were taken aback for a moment, and they both said "never".

"Then this matter is strange!"

Xue Baochai couldn't help frowning, "I just ordered the things in the treasury yesterday, so why did the set of ivory Buddha statues that were given as a tribute from Siam in the palace disappear?"

"Something is missing?" Lin Daiyu whispered.

"I'm afraid there are internal thieves in our house!" Jia Jing said coldly: "I never thought that there would be a few internal thieves in our house!"

After all, Jia Jing ordered: "Go and tie up all the people guarding the warehouse, and take them to the main hall. I want to see which one is boring!!"

"Yes!"

Amber led the way out.

After a while, there were shouts from outside, but it was the people guarding the warehouse who were directly grabbed and tied up.

……

The main hall of Wuhou Mansion.

Several tall candles illuminate the whole room brightly.

In the hall, together with the four people who were not on duty, a total of eight servants guarding the warehouse had their hands cut behind their backs and tied tightly with water-soaked hemp ropes.

Jia Jing sat at the head, her brows were icy cold.

"Let's talk about it, what happened to the things that are missing from the treasury?"

The eight servants were kneeling there trembling, and the four servants who were directly captured from the treasury collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this, Jia Jing's eyes became a little colder, and he continued to ask: "I ask myself that I have treated you well, why do you dare to do such a thing of guarding yourself?"

"Master Hou, spare your life!"

A servant couldn't stand Jia Jing's questioning, and said tremblingly: "We didn't take the things, we were all forced by the Lai family and the second master in the next door!"

"Lai Da Lai Er?" Jia Jing frowned, "Although they are the butlers of the other two houses, they can't control our Hou's house, so why are they involved?"

Seeing that someone had already revealed the matter, several other people also kowtowed on the ground to beg for mercy, and they all confessed.

"So that Master Hou would know that we were all picked from the family's children when the Hou's Mansion was built the year before last. However, although the villains were able to come to the Hou's Mansion to work as errands, the women and children in the family were still in other places. On both sides of the house...

Then the Lai family's uncle and the second master insisted on using them to persecute the villain, we have no choice but to wait! "

Jia Jing asked again: "Then why did Lai Da Lai Er steal things from the treasury?"

One of the servants thought for a while and replied: "It is said that the Lai family donated money to their son Lai Shangrong for an official, and in order to wait for a fat vacancy, they have to send some more money and things, so that they can be called Shangguan Xing cheap!

Because Lai Da and the others thought that there are so many treasures in Lord Hou’s mansion, they must not have much impression, so they thought about getting one from Lord Hou, and then there will be decent and powerful ones, and things will naturally come to fruition... ..."

"Slave dog is so courageous, and his idea came to me! Do you really think that Lai Shangrong has given up his slave status and donated his official position, so this Marquis can't do anything to them?"

Jia Jing was furious!
