Yan Cigui.

Chapter 71
"Yo," Shan Shen laughed, "I can't see that your ancestors really have some treasures."

Standing on the opposite side, Li Yuanfa couldn't see what was going on inside at all. He thought to himself, "Couldn't the gold brick be a treasure?" He chuckled: "Don't dare, don't dare. Just look at it, old man, don't talk about it."

Shan Shen loves books, and was very interested, so he simply opened it and took a copy to read the cover.

Seeing this, his expression instantly became serious.

One after another, flipping through three or five books in a row, he scolded: "All books are banned by the imperial court, Li Yuanfa, you are so brave!"

As the lid of the box was opened, Li Yuanfa also discovered the clue.

The top layer is full of books.

He was muttering, "As expected of a hidden gold brick, it's really well concealed", but he didn't expect that Shan Shen didn't find the real gold underneath, but even flipped through several banned books.

"Impossible!" Li Yuanfa rushed forward anxiously.

He searched desperately in the box without looking at the title of the book. He threw the book on the floor, but he couldn't find what he wanted.

He had to go to another box, but it was still a book.

It was full and tightly packed.

Li Yuanfa's face turned white and black, black and white again.

What's the matter?

What about gold?
The Wang family brothers were also dumbfounded when they heard the word "banned book".

The crime of "stealing two boxes" and "hiding forbidden books" is completely different!
They shouted anxiously: "Our brothers really didn't know about it. If we knew that there was such a head-lost thing in it, who would earn those dozens of taels of silver!"

Xi Dangjia was also dumbfounded.

He only met that master once, and the rest is what Li Yuan said.

Now it doesn't matter whether the master made a mistake or Li Yuanfa was deceived, in short, it must be cleaned up.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Master Qingtian, the villain just went out of his way to help, and he didn't even take money for his hard work. The things belong to Mr. Li, and it has nothing to do with the villain!"

Li Yuanfa stared blankly at those books.

What did Master Zhu Si ask him to dig up banned books for?
Master Zhu Fourth's news is wrong?
No, not right!
He didn't react until now.

Jumping up from the ground, Li Yuanfa rushed towards Gao An: "It was you, you framed me!
You dug up the real thing a long time ago, knowing that the Wang brothers would come and steal it, you put these terrible things in it, and then buried the box back!
You spit it out and give it back to me! "

Gao An easily held Li Yuanfa up and handed him over to the yamen servant.

"Nonsense," Gao An pointed at Li Yuanfa, and said to Shan Shen, "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, the villain really wants to frame him, at most he will put some stones and mud in the box. These books banned by the court, The villain has nowhere to get it."

Shan Shen could understand this truth very well.

Let alone Gao An, a businessman, even Shan Shen, who loves books, can only see one or two lonely copies by chance, and he can't read them at all.

As for filling two boxes...

Hey, his head is not sinking, he is going crazy to die!

It is too difficult to frame people with this.

Li Yuanfa couldn't break free from the yamen servant, looking at those books, his eyeballs almost spurted blood.

If it was all gold bricks, he couldn't prove that the things belonged to him, and there would be Master Zhu Si.

Master Zhu Si heard that they had entered Shuntian Mansion, he would definitely find a way to get Shan Shen to release them, and take the gold bricks back after all the procedures are completed.

Anyway, it won't be cheap Gaoan.

And he, Li Yuanfa, was a marvelous man who stayed in the cell for a few days, and when he came out he was still a good man.

But it is different with banned books, Mr. Zhu Si will be eager to get rid of it, and the "book owner" in the Yamen will not let him go.

He's finished.

No longer able to hide it, Li Yuanfa shouted anxiously: "The gold bricks in our box are obviously gold bricks! Gao An, return my gold bricks!"

"My lord," Gao An only complained to Shan Shen, "he is not a thing! There are two big boxes of gold bricks, even if the villain sells his ancestral property, he is blackmailing the villain!"

Li Yuan was furious, and said indiscriminately: "My lord, let me tell you the truth, the things belong to the fourth master of the British government. He asked the villain to dig them out for him. It's true!"

Shan Shen pressed between his eyebrows.

Whether it is or not, it is impossible to go to the British government at this time.

After stealing the boxes, he was sent to prison, and Gao An pressed his fingerprints on the confession.

"Don't worry, my lord, Honesty Lane must be beautiful and safe," he said, "These thieves have no eyes and disturbed your sleep. If the villain digs out these two boxes by himself, he will definitely give them to you in broad daylight." Come."

Shan Shen snorted: "Don't all thieves work at night?"

Gao An laughed, and accepted the joke from Shan Shen.

When we walked out of Shuntian Mansion, the rain stopped.

"God is beautiful!" Gao An praised.

If it wasn't for the rain, he wouldn't be able to justify clearing out the people in the alley.

If it hadn't been for the muddy rain that made it a mess, Li Yuanfa would have felt that the foundation was not so strong when he lowered the shovel.

If it wasn't muddy and dirty, Li Yuanfa might have seen it at a glance. The box didn't seem to have been buried in the ground for a long time and was dug out for the first time, especially the big lock. Mr. Chen's family managed to find two shaped locks from the warehouse. Similar old locks, but not the same as the ones that have been buried for a long time.

If it wasn't for the heavy rain that blocked his sight, Wang Si might have discovered that they had set up an ambush while wandering around the alley, or if he had dragged him into the yamen, he would have been unable to nail down the thing that came from Honest Alley.

As for the gold brick that Li Yuanfa yelled...

Gao An is not stupid.

Those books are really heavy when packed in a box, but they are definitely not as heavy as when they were moved for the first time.

He did it himself, and it feels right.

What Li Yuanfa said was the truth.

But there is no name written on the gold brick, and the princess dug it out first, so why should Li Yuanfa be cheaper?
When it was dawn, many people knew what happened in Honest Lane last night through the conversations with the customers in the shop earlier.

Of course, the news reached Zhu Cheng's ears.

Before he even had time to ask a few more questions, the officials from Shuntian Mansion came to find him.

"Two boxes of banned books?" Seeing that the official almost nodded, Zhu Cheng's face was full of dissatisfaction, "What do I want people to dig up banned books for? Return gold bricks, what nonsense!
I know that Mr. Shan needs to ask questions when investigating a case, but if anyone asks a question, I have to go to the yamen to answer it. There is no such reason.

I don't know what Li posted, and it has nothing to do with me. "

After dismissing the official messenger, Zhu Cheng found a sedan chair and hurried to Liuguo Hutong.

Mrs. Wang welcomed Zhu Cheng in: "Why do you have such a face? What happened?"

"Didn't you say that there were two boxes of gold bricks buried there?" Zhu Cheng asked anxiously, "Why are there two boxes of banned books?"

Lady Wang's eyes widened suddenly: "No gold bricks? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How is it impossible?" Zhu Cheng asked, "You saw it buried with your own eyes?"

"I..." Mrs. Wang shook her head, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but it was said by my godfather. My master left Beijing, and my godfather watched the boxing and burying in the foundation with his own eyes..."

Zhu Cheng was angry, and his words were not pleasant to listen to: "How many truths are there in the things that cut off children and grandchildren?"

Lady Wang turned her face away.

Outside the house, the young shopkeeper was carrying a target full of candied haws in one hand, and a bunch of them in the other, chewing hard.

It was Xuan Su.

Although the courtyard door was closed, the voice of the people inside was also low, but it couldn't stop his outstanding hearing.

At first, seeing Zhu Cheng's hurried appearance after hearing the news, he was [-] to [-]% sure.

Listening to Zhu Cheng's question after entering the door, it is [-]%—Zhu Cheng has never seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't bury it back then, and he also got the news to handle the matter.

After confirming this point, even if Zhu Cheng and Mrs. Wang went to the back room to talk, Xuan Su had already completed the task.

Now, there are more surprises.

Godfather, master.

What exactly does it mean, as long as you peel it off, the master and the princess will definitely be able to analyze it.

I have to say, the princess's way of inviting you into the urn is really good.

After biting the candied haws, Xuan Su stuck the empty stick into the target and walked away carrying it on his back.

　Thanks to book friend Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend for the reward.
