"Move over to the side and let me try as well." Qian Yexun was about to make his move as well.
After all, he was a woman, and perhaps his internal energy was insufficient. If Qian Yexun were to make a move, he was a man, so his internal energy would definitely be stronger than his own.
With a "peng" sound, the stone door moved and slowly opened.
"Let's split up and search. This mansion is so big, whoever finds it first, send out the signal and the other person will gather there as soon as possible."
But, in such a big house, after being searched thoroughly by the two of them, where was Fu Manduo?
Let alone Fu Manduo, he couldn't even see a servant in the mansion anymore.
"Not good, let's hurry to the shop. Hopefully, it won't be too late." For some reason, Qian Yexun had a bad feeling about this.
They had been trapped in the secret room for so long, and they had lost a lot of their time.
In the darkness of the night, the two of them ran towards the Fortune pawnshop.
The pawnshop was already closed, and it looked no different from usual.
"Come, let's go in and take a look."
They were no longer unfamiliar with the Fulai Pawnshop. They went in and out of it a few times, as if they were familiar with it.
However, the place where the shopkeeper was previously found was now empty. The thugs from before had all disappeared into thin air.
In the end, the two of them had to check the goods and items stored in the pawnshop.
However, there was nothing left to count. All the items and items were almost all gone. All of them were empty.
Nothing was left behind, not even a piece of jewelry that was worth a bit of money, or an antique vase.
"What? Why are they so clean? "This is unbelievable." Ban Xia was dumbstruck.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that something was amiss.
"Perhaps, from the very beginning, from the moment we set our eyes on Fortune's pawnshop, they had already thought of a way out, bringing us to the Tsui Yan Tsuen to look for some boss, then were lured back to that old house, and were tricked into the secret room to be trapped, and be unable to get out in time … All of this is to stall for time, to trap us, so that they have time to pack up, and even more time to escape. Therefore, a mountain is still a mountain high, and we have indeed been tricked! "
By the time he reacted, it was already too late.
"This is bad. Where can we find him? If he wants to hide from us, I'm afraid we'll just be fishing for needles in the sea. It'll be futile." Ban Xia sighed.
No one had expected such an outcome, and they didn't want to see it.
"Let's return to the inn first."
At the moment, no matter how anxious he was, it was useless.
After Fu Manduo successfully escaped from the secret underground room, he disbanded the servants in the mansion. Originally, he had bought this mansion for temporary living, and not many servants were hired so it was not a big deal.
As for Fu Lai's pawnshop, he had already instructed the shopkeeper to pack up all the valuables. He also left during the night.
Thus, when Qian Yexun and Ban Xia rushed to the pawnshop, the pawnshop was already empty, with nothing remaining.
In another house, Fu Manduo leisurely dismissed the servants in the house and entered the study by himself.
The Three Hole of the Cunning Bunnies was also one of his properties.
However, very few people knew about it. When he had purchased this property, he did not personally step in, nor did he use his own name.
In the study room, candles flickered.
With a cold face, he took out a long box from his pocket. This was the box that he had gone back to the house to retrieve tonight, and it was also the box that the two people he had trapped in the secret room were looking for.
"What exactly is in this box? Those two people almost took my life."
He held the box in his hand and looked at it over and over.
"Could it be some treasure trove or something? If there really is such a treasure trove, then I don't need to soar into the heavens, right?"
The more he thought, the weirder it felt. The eight trigrams in his heart started to make a ruckus, and Fu Manduo was really unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart. He hid inside the study room and started to open the long box.
If it was really a treasure trove, then he would have it.
This box was originally given to them by that person. In the name of putting it in the pawnshop, it was handed over to their family for safekeeping. At that time, it was agreed that as long as they used the pawned ticket, they would be able to retrieve the original item.
But now, that person was no longer here. Even if the person holding the ticket came looking for the original object, if he insisted on not giving it or just play and disappeared, the person probably wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
The current him had nothing to be afraid of.
Very few people knew about the trade back then.
Currently, the power of the Fu Family was far from what it used to be. If there really was a treasure trove in place, he could use it to revive the Fu Family.
The long box opened, and Fu Manduo opened his eyes wide as he stared at the inside of the box. Inside the box, there laid a scroll like object.
"Could it be an expensive painting collection?"
He could not help but feel somewhat disappointed, because the expected treasure trove did not seem to exist.
Just by his calligraphy and painting, even if he was an expert at painting, the amount of money he was willing to pay was still very low.
However, this painting seemed a little unusual …
At this moment, he was extremely nervous. He was even more nervous than when he escaped from the secret underground chamber.
With a shake of his hand, he gently opened the scroll. When he could clearly see the contents of the scroll, his face turned deathly pale.
After a long time, he murmured.
"How could this be? How could this be?"
He originally thought that what he had in his hands was a huge treasure trove, or at the very least, a priceless collection of paintings. However, he never expected that it would actually be a hot topic.
The contents were enough to scare him. Even now, he still could not accept it.
"No wonder …"
He seemed like a mad fool as he kept mumbling to himself. The expression on his face was even more unfathomable and extremely strange.
To him, the scroll in his hands was like a burning hot mountain. If things went wrong, it might even affect his life, the lives of the entire clan, both young and old, as well as countless of people.
"If I had known it was this item, I would have let them steal it."
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
He could not remain calm any longer. He got up and paced around the study. There was a great shock and panic that enveloped him, making it difficult for him to calm down.
Qian Yexun and Ban Xia stayed the night in the tavern, and when the sun rose the next day, they continued to disguise themselves, and then went out to the streets to dress up.
The door of the store was still tightly shut. There was no sign that it was going to open for business.
There were no suspicious people in front of the house he went to last night. There seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.
That pawnshop suddenly closed the door. Look on the street, there isn't a single person standing up to scold or come to ask for his pawnshop, it seems that this pawnshop's business is really not doing well here. Or perhaps, this pawnshop is basically selling life and death, and doesn't have any kind of pawnshop.
Ban Xia was furious. They had fallen flat on their heads on top of Fu Manduo, this man.
"Don't worry, it's a fox. He'll reveal his fox tail eventually, unless he's forever hiding and never comes out!"
Qian Yexun had already arranged for people to stand guard nearby. If they discovered anything new, their subordinates would immediately report to him.
Of course, Ban Xia was not aware of these arrangements.
They walked around the market and no one was in the mood to go shopping. They just ate some lunch to cope with it before returning to the tavern.
Ban Xia knew that if she didn't hurry back to the Banyan City's territory, she would attract the attention of that person in the palace as well as dissatisfaction.
However, she still hadn't found out about the matter that Empress Dowager Zhen had left behind in her last words. She was truly vexed.
It was late in the afternoon, and someone was knocking on the door of the inn twice.
Qian Yexun's body flashed, he appeared behind the guest room door and asked: "Who?"
A man's deep voice came from outside. "Master, it's me."
This was a secret signal that he and his subordinates had agreed on. Outside, they called him 'Master'.
As expected, the moment the door opened, one of the hidden guards stood beside Qian Yexun.
This group of Dark Guards was personally trained by him when he was free all those years ago. Very few people knew of their existence, and of the subordinates he had, only Zhang Liang knew of the existence of this group of people.
Ban Xia looked at Qian Yexun's reaction and how they interacted together. Very quickly, she realised that the person who was standing outside the door should be one of her people.
Didn't they say that most of their subordinates disguised themselves as caravans and headed towards the Banyan City?
"Master, there is a new sound coming from the mansion. Today, we saw a person walking into the mansion. He did not walk through the front door or the side door, but directly climbed over the wall. He was very careful. But from the looks of it, he seems to be extremely familiar with the place. "
In Qian Yexun's eyes, there was a trace of a different color.
"What are the characteristics of that person?"
He wanted to confirm to his subordinates that the one who had snuck back into the house was Fu Manduo.
"He is tall, his body is sturdy and his movements are agile. He must have practiced martial arts and is quite skilled."
After all, he was a woman, and perhaps his internal energy was insufficient. If Qian Yexun were to make a move, he was a man, so his internal energy would definitely be stronger than his own.
With a "peng" sound, the stone door moved and slowly opened.

"Come, let's go in and take a look."
