Chapter 789 Toad
The envelope given by Shang Shaojing contained a note and a key.
Jiang Li happened to have nothing to do today, so he found the address written on the note.
When I arrived, I discovered that this was actually the villa where the merchant used to live.
After the businessman went bankrupt, the villa was repossessed by the bank and put up for auction.
So why did Shang Shaojing give her this key?
Jiang Li stepped forward and realized that the key did not match the door.
In other words.
Shang Shaojing gave her a key that couldn't even enter the door.
Jiang Li turned around outside the gate, but Ji Yanbai came up with an idea.
"Miss, if you want to go in so much, why don't you just climb in? No one lives in this house anyway."
Jiang Li: "."
"We are decent citizens and cannot do illegal things."
"Ok."
Jiang Li wandered around for a while before finding the buyer's phone number on the wall and called it immediately.
She firmly believed that Shang Shaojing would not give her an ordinary key casually.
At worst, she could just buy this villa.
The call was quickly connected, but before Jiang Li could speak, a familiar voice came from the receiver.
"Why did you remember to call me?"
Jiang Li exited suspiciously, glanced at the number, and clicked back suspiciously.
"Gu Yu?!"
Zhao Lang laughed, "Surprised? I'm surprised too. How come you even know my mobile phone number?"
Jiang Li: "."
She glanced at the number on the wall again in disbelief.
"That's not right. The number I dialed was obviously the number posted outside the door of Shang Shaojing's villa. Why was it you?"
"This is nothing surprising." Zhao Lang said, "Because this villa was photographed by me."
After reacting, he immediately became serious.
"Why did you go there? Looking for Shang Shaojing?"
Jiang Li was silent for a while.
"The reason is a bit complicated, but it's good that you're the one who answered the phone. You have the key to this villa, right? Isn't it convenient to send someone to deliver it?"
Zhao Lang moved quickly, and half an hour later, a black car stopped at the door of the villa.
However, he himself got out of the car.
Jiang Li took a look at him.
"Is Mr. Gu very free?"
Zhao Lang smiled and shook his head, "I'm very busy, but your things should come first."
Jiang Li: "."
"Don't be so talkative and open the door quickly."
"Are you looking for something?" Although Zhao Lang asked, he obediently stepped forward and opened the door of the villa.
"I really need to find something." Jiang Li said.
"Then it's very possible that we're looking for the same thing."
Zhao Lang's words successfully stopped Jiang Li.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you still remember the evil town toad you found in Longji Lake before?"
"remember."
"I have already found out about the other half of the toad. Back then, it was the merchant who secretly obtained the other half."
Jiang Li frowned, "You mean, the merchant sent people to interfere with your family's Feng Shui bureau?"
"No." Zhao Lang shook his head, "Everything is just a coincidence."
The Feng Shui master originally wanted to take control of the merchants by doing this, but he didn't expect that before he could take advantage of Xie Town, his sect would start fighting internally.
The Feng Shui master also died as a result, and all his magic weapons were divided among his disciples.
This is how this evil town fell into the hands of his disciples.
His disciples didn't know the details and just used it as a magic weapon to make money and sold it to the Shang father who was at a disadvantage at the time.
Later, after many twists and turns, Shang's father discovered the benefits brought by toads and made full use of them. But Shang's father didn't know the ins and outs of the toad, so the benefits he got were naturally limited.
It was probably because of the guidance of others that I investigated the Gu family step by step.
That's why Shang Shaojing later landed on the island.
Unfortunately, before they discovered the secret, the Feng Shui bureau was broken.
The situation of the merchants also took a turn for the worse, and families were destroyed overnight.
Although the situation has been solved, the existence of toad is always a hidden danger.
Zhao Lang searched for its whereabouts in every possible way, and then took pictures of the merchant's villa.
"However," Zhao Lang said, "I have sent people to check the inside and outside of this villa, and found nothing suspicious."
"There must be some," Jiang Li said firmly, "otherwise Shang Shaojing wouldn't have given this to me."
As she spoke, she took out the key.
The key is small and exquisitely made, and it seems to be of some age at first glance.
But Zhao Lang was not very happy. Instead, he muttered: "Why would he give you such an important thing? Doesn't he hate you very much?"
Jiang Li ignored him and studied the key.
"Didn't you already send people to search the villa inside and outside? Is there anything suspicious about the lock?"
Zhao Lang shook his head.
"I've pried open every lock, but still found nothing."
"Then there's only one way left."
Jiang Li put the key in the palm of his left hand and took out three copper coins from the bag with his right hand.
Zhao Lang recognized these three copper coins.
Jiang Li would take them out every time he calculated the directions.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Jiang Li collected the copper coins and strode away in one direction.
Zhao Lang followed her.
Jiang Li went straight to the fourth floor and found the innermost room.
This was supposed to be a study room originally, and the basic furniture is still there.
Next to a bucket of brushes, Jiang Li found something that looked like a seal.
The seal seemed to be welded to the table and could not be broken no matter how hard it was broken.
However, Jiang Li only pushed it gently with his hand, and a small jack appeared underneath.
——It just matched the key in her hand.
Jiang Li inserted the key in, and as soon as he twisted it, the bookshelf next to him began to shake.
"Be careful."
Zhao Lang thoughtfully stood in front of her.
After a while, a hidden shelf appeared behind the automatically removed bookshelf.
There was an object covered by red cloth in the dark space, and the surrounding area was covered with strange talismans.
"That should be it."
Jiang Li said and stepped forward. When he was about to reach out and lift the red cloth, he was stopped by Zhao Lang.
"Is there any danger?"
Jiang Li shook his head, "The Feng Shui bureau has been broken, the mother toad has been destroyed, and the child toad poses no threat."
"Then let me do it. My life is better."
As he said that, he took the initiative to lift the red cloth.
Sure enough, there was an ugly toad statue hidden under the red cloth.
Zhao Lang didn't waste a moment and called someone to come over and move the toad away.
Afterward, he joked with a smile.
"Master Jiang, you have done me another favor."
Jiang Li stretched out his hand, "Then how will Master Gu thank me this time?"
Zhao Lang: "."
"Does Master Jiang like money so much?"
"Who can have trouble with money?"
"But I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring a check with me."
Jiang Li looked around and said with a smile: "This villa is quite nice, why not treat it as a thank you gift this time."
