Manor Romance

Chapter 174 The Mystery of the Key
"Of course I can trust my little brother. Speaking of which, you even saved my life. The purpose of my visit is very simple. I just want to see the excitement. It would be the best if I can touch some fish and shrimp in the water. You see Those people outside don't look like they're here for a funeral, do you know what they're doing?" Qi Shi asked in a low voice, and he didn't delve into why Yun Li appeared here.

"I don't know, we have just arrived, but judging by their appearance, it seems that they are here for something. I heard that old man Mo is just a widow with no power and power. Is there anything worth thinking about?" ?” Yun Li asked with a puzzled expression.

In fact, with his superhuman sense of hearing, he had already heard some information from the conversations of the visitors, and knew what they were plotting, but when it came to the important points, they all avoided talking about it, leaving Yunli at a loss. But the appearance of Qi Shi may be able to help him solve this mystery.

"Old man Mo is powerless, and his whereabouts are erratic. There has been no news of him for many years. If the news of his death had not spread, everyone would not know that he was hiding in this small town. Their purpose is very clear. It is for a key, a key to unlock a huge treasure." Qi Shi lowered his voice and explained to Yun Li.

"Key? Treasure? Could it be the rumored treasure of the Lu family?" Hearing these two words, Yun Li blurted out the question without thinking, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted coming home. Lu Ci heard After saying this, his body shook, and he cast a puzzled look at him.

Regarding the past of the Lu family, the internal strife between the old Lu family, and the treasures of the Lu family, Yunli has never told Lu Ci about these things. These are all secrets. He guessed that Lu Qishan probably focused on this aspect. After knowing Lu Ci's whereabouts, he didn't know why he didn't take any action after knowing the whereabouts of Mr. Mo, but instead shared the information, but knowing these things was of no benefit to Lu Ci, it would only increase troubles.

Yun Li went over and squeezed Lu Ci's palm with his backhand, signaling her not to ask anything for the time being, and he would explain clearly later, Lu Ci understood the priorities, so he didn't ask too many questions, and continued to stand behind Yun Li without saying a word, listening patiently Follow the conversation between the two.

"You also know about this? But since that incident happened more than 20 years ago, it's not a big secret. These people came here for the key to the treasure of the Lu family. It is rumored that the key may be in the hands of old man Mo. Here, he has been hiding all these years, just to avoid the coveting of those who are interested. As for the truth, no one can be sure. People, there is no one who is not tempted to hear the word "treasure", so I also Come and join in the fun." Qi Shi explained.

These words completely shocked Yun Li. He and Lu Ci were here to find their relatives, but unexpectedly, they ran into such a funeral. Not to mention the inner turmoil, it actually involved the secret of the Lu family. Xin, this matter is getting more and more complicated, and there are more and more aspects to worry about. He can vaguely predict that troubles will come one after another, and he and Lu Ci can no longer stay out of it.

"More than 20 years ago, the Lu family wanted to open the treasure, but the key fell into the hands of a scientific research team in our country. I heard that all the members of this scientific research team disappeared. The Lu family must have taken the key back. How could it be? Did it fall into the hands of old man Mo?" Yun Li put aside his chaotic thoughts for a while, and continued to ask.

"This old man Mo has an unusual relationship with the Lu family. Otherwise, as a loner, he would not have the ability to own the treasure key. In fact, there have been people from the Lu family who have been secretly supporting him, but no one knows his identity. He owns the key." The news is just a rumor, and its authenticity needs to be investigated, but after his death, the truth should be answered soon." Qi Shi said expectantly.

"So that's the case. I don't know how much Boss Qi knows about the Lu family's operation more than 20 years ago? And our domestic scientific research team really disappeared like this?" Yun Li couldn't help asking curiously.

"The thing about the treasure of the Lu family can be proven to be true, and the key does exist, but no one knows what it looks like, and the location of the treasure is naturally only in the hands of the core people of the old Lu family. As for the scientific research team, it should be It was dealt with by the Lu family. At that time, your country had disputes with several small countries around you because of this matter, but then it disappeared for some reason. There must be many secrets in it, but that's all I know." Qi Shi said frankly.

These words are not much different from what Mr. Ren said. It seems that the outside world does not know the specific situation at that time. To investigate this matter clearly, the only way is to find out the person involved, but this is not the point. Yun Li asked again:
"Then how do you find the key? If old man Mo really has the key, he will definitely transfer it to someone he trusts before he dies, or return it to the Lu family, right?"

"We don't know what relationship old man Mo has with the Lu family, but he died suddenly and without warning this time. Maybe the key has not been handed over. These people came here with this idea. The key may be hidden In this room. I received news that there will be a few powerful people coming later, and when they are all here, they will press the remaining family members of old man Mo, and maybe they will go to search directly. If you don't get the key, it's good to know its whereabouts." Qi Shi said eagerly, although he put on an appearance of watching a play, but if the key appeared, Yun Li believed that he would not really come to the play as simple as that.

While the two were chatting, there were indeed several groups of people arriving one after another. The number of people filled the open space in front of the hall. Some of the leaders came to the center of the mourning hall and asked their godsons about something. The godson still looked indifferent, but he also knew that they couldn't afford to provoke these people, and he answered whatever they asked, but the answer did not satisfy the visitors.

They all spoke Burmese, and Yun Li couldn't understand a word. Fortunately, Qi Shi, a temporary interpreter, was there. For other cases, all the relics should be handed over to them.

In fact, these are all excuses. Their purpose is to find the whereabouts of the keys. The godson said that Old Man Mo doesn’t have many belongings. If they want them, they can go to Old Man Mo’s room to find them. If he dies, he will not hand over the house.

Of course the leader would not believe his words, and immediately asked people to search in the room behind the hall and on the second floor. As for the family members of the three old Mo, they also planned to take them back for interrogation, but this action caused Opposition from other forces, if these people asked about the key information, other people's trip would be in vain. The two sides were divided into two parties in the mourning hall to confront each other for a while.

"Boss Qi, which side are you on?" Yun Li and the others were not involved in the confrontation, but he could see that Qi Shi was very concerned about this matter, so he asked curiously.

Qi Shi smiled slyly, and replied: "I know people on both sides. It's too early to stand in line. It won't be too late to make a decision when the situation is clearer. Moreover, the people I brought have secretly split into the two forces. I am not black and white, but I can be black and white, little brother, you have to study hard." Regarding Yunli, he had nothing to hide, and he directly told his favorite strategy come out.

Yun Li gave him a thumbs up, but he secretly scolded him as an old fox. The situation is unknown now, so he should not act rashly. Yun Li is not interested in keys, but this old man Mo Chen, he must get what he wants from him today. information, whether he is now dead or alive.

Both sides came prepared, and the stalemate was difficult to break for a while. The people who went to search the house sent word to report back from time to time, and it seemed that they didn’t find anything. They didn’t need to restrain themselves. Uprooting the hut and checking it out, although the godson was very angry, he was helpless. As for the old servant, he was still kneeling there, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

They searched for a long time and still found nothing, so they gathered again in the mourning hall and the open space in front of them to confront each other. As for the outskirts, there are a few old fritters like Qi Shi who are waiting for an opportunity, which is also a big force. It was supposed to be a mournful and heavy funeral, but now it has turned into a fighting arena. If old man Mo Chen saw this scene, I don't know how he would feel.

"You go back to the noodle shop and wait for me later, remember Huanhui? It's not too far from here." Yun Li suddenly turned his head and said softly to Lu Ci.

Lu Ci nodded, but hugged Yunli's arm tightly, and said word by word: "There won't be any problem, you don't want to participate in their conflicts, don't do dangerous things, or I won't leave."

"Don't worry, I said I would tell you a secret, and I will definitely keep my promise. The next thing I have to do is to take the secret out and not get involved in their conflicts. I will send you a message every half an hour Can you report it?" Yun Li persuaded softly.

"15 minutes!" Lu Ci said firmly.

"It's a deal, and it's the same for you. I'll send you out. If there's an emergency, remember to take out the anti-wolf spray for self-defense. Do you remember how to use it?" Yun Li held Lu Ci's hands and confirmed again and again.

Lu Ci nodded to make it clear, and Yun Li sent her out of the courtyard of the hut. After watching her walk away step by step, Yun Li returned to the hut, stood with Qi Shi, and thought about how to make a good plan next. implementation of the plan.

"Why did your little girlfriend go back? The good show has just started, and now we're going to enter the main part." Qi Shi asked Yunli while paying attention to the situation in the field.

"There is a price to pay for watching a good show. Boss Yi Qi, what will they do next?" Yun Li answered briefly, then asked Qi Shi for his opinion.
