"Dong dong dong!" The wooden stairs made a heavy sound. Qin Hui went upstairs very slowly. After all, he was old and had difficulty moving. But this gave Fang Zian and Feng Yiming time. When Qin Hui and others went up to the second floor

, Fang Zian and Feng Yiming put away the ropes, covered the mezzanine cover, and hid in the narrow mezzanine.

The light of the lantern illuminated the outside room, and the footsteps of several people slowly entered the room. Soon after, Qin Hui's voice slowly sounded.

"Qin Fu, have you ever touched the things here?"

"Ah? Mr. Prime Minister, how dare I do this? I have never touched anything in the cabinet. I swear to God..." Qin Fu's panicked voice came.

Qin Hui interrupted him and said: "I didn't say you took anything. I said, this silver ball has become shiny. Have you cleaned it? The last time I came, there was still a layer of dust."

Qin Fu hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, that's it, that's natural. Last time, the prime minister said it was dusty, so I came and wiped it myself."

Qin Hui nodded and said: "Yes. You have a good intention, but there is no need to do this next time. Especially these calligraphy and paintings, unless they are moldy, damp or infested with insects, you must not touch them. They are all old objects.

, it’s so ruined that it can’t even be repaired.”

"Yes, yes, I understand, Prime Minister, don't worry. I will remember it," Qin Fu said hurriedly.

Qin Hui said: "Qin Lu was responsible for taking care of this place before. After he died, I asked you to take over for him. So it's understandable that you don't understand this, but be careful, the things here are all treasures.

It has taken me half a lifetime to work hard, so don’t mess it up. Make a regular inventory and report it to me for review."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, Qin Fu understands." Qin Fu said hurriedly.

"Uncle Fu, I can come and take care of you in the future." Qin Tan said.

"Qin Tan, it's not that I don't want you to come here often. You shouldn't come here often in a place like Getian Pavilion. It's not good for you. Look at these treasures of calligraphy and painting. I feel like I can't control them, let alone you.

.If you are used to seeing these things, you will have no motivation to make progress. My things will not all be yours in the future. But you don’t need them now. Although these things are good, you must have the ability to keep them.

There is a saying you must have heard. It's called 'Every man is innocent and carries a treasure'. If you are unable to keep these treasures, these things will be the noose around your neck and the knife above your head. Do you understand?"

Qin Hui said in a deep voice.

Qin Tan was startled and said hurriedly: "My grandson understands what grandpa taught me."

Qin Hui nodded, reached out and took the lantern from Qin Tan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "You can stay outside. There is no need to go in. I can just go in and take a look. There are precious paintings inside, and there are many people."

, it brings moisture and popularity, which is detrimental to the preservation of the painting."

"As ordered!" Several people bowed.

The light of the lantern slowly became brighter through the bead curtain. On the mezzanine, Fang Zian and Feng Yiming looked at Qin Hui from the gap in the cover as he slowly opened the curtain and walked in with a lantern. The two of them blinked.

He stared at Qin Hui's figure without blinking, not daring to express his anger, and could not move at all.

Qin Hui slowly walked around the room holding the lantern, reaching out on the antique shelf and stroking the calligraphy and painting scrolls from time to time, looking cautious. At the same time,

There was a satisfied smile on his face again. After turning around, he came to the position directly under the cover. Qin Hui suddenly bent down and illuminated the ground with a lantern. He stretched out his hand to touch the ground, spread his hand out, and found something on his hand.

It was full of dust. Qin Hui slowly raised his head and looked at the top cover.

Fang Zian, who looked down through the cover, felt excited. He seemed to have looked into Qin Hui's eyes, and almost thought he had been seen by Qin Hui. Fortunately, he had a strong psychological quality and immediately realized this.

Qin Hui couldn't see himself under the circumstances. But at the same time, he also understood that he had made a mistake just now. When he and Feng Yiming came down just now, a lot of dust fell after the mezzanine cover was opened, which is very likely to arouse Qin Hui's suspicion. If he

It would be terrible if someone came up to check.

Feng Yiming was also very nervous. He touched Fang Zian's arm, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping a knife on his neck. That meant that he would just kill Qin Hui without doing anything else. Not only for the current crisis, but also for this

This situation seemed to be the best time to kill Qin Hui. Qin Hui was alone in the house, and with the hands of Fang Zian and Feng Yiming, he opened the cover and jumped down to kill Qin Hui. It should be successful.

However, Fang Zian slowly shook his head and rejected Feng Yiming's idea. He would not do that unless he had to. Under the current circumstances, assassinating Qin Hui was by no means the best plan. Not to mention that after assassinating Qin Hui, the two of them

He will be surrounded by Qin guards from all directions, and it is impossible to escape. The two of them will lose their lives here. And later, he will be accused of assassinating the prime minister of the imperial court, and his family, friends, and firemen will be killed.

They will be completely liquidated, and Shi Hao's family will also be implicated. The price is too high and not worth it. Fang Zian is not noble enough to pay such a high price in exchange for Qin Hui's life.

Moreover, even if Qin Hui was assassinated, the result would not be the best result. Prince Pu'an lost the opportunity to compete for the crown prince, and Qin Hui died. This matter still did not turn around, but would make Zhao Gou angry, and Qin

If the party is as rampant, the king of Pu'an County will be even worse. Qin Hui deserves to be killed, but not in this way. His death must be that Zhao Gou thinks he deserves to die, and his comrades can't help but ask for it, and the Qin government also follows

Everything was finished. He had to be killed with an unforgivable reputation, and he had to die openly. This is why Fang Zian did not make a plan to assassinate Qin Hui from the beginning, but chose to dig into Qin Hui's roots and find evidence that Qin Hui was a workman of the Jin Dynasty.

s reason.

Up and down the cover, three people with six eyes looked at each other. The only difference was that the two people on top could see the people below, while the people below saw the mezzanine cover on the square roof.

The atmosphere on the board was tense and tense, and there was a tense murderous intention in the air. Fang Zian admitted that although he was unwilling to kill Qin Hui like this, if Qin Hui showed the slightest sign of finding someone hiding here, then he would not do it at all.

Killed him without hesitation.

"Qin Fu!" Qin Hui looked up at the cover and said in a deep voice.

Fang Zian's hands clenched tightly and the muscles in his body tensed.

"Prime Minister, what are your orders?" Qin Fu replied standing outside the curtain.

"The cover of the back room seems to be a little loose, and there is some dust on the ground. I suspect that there are mice or night cats moving in the mezzanine. You have to go up and have a look tomorrow. The last thing you can't have in the attic is mice. What can they see?

All

It's a bite. You must not be careless about this." Qin Hui said.

"I know this, I will go and check it myself tomorrow. Don't worry, Mr. Xiang," Qin Fu said hurriedly.

Qin Hui snorted and finally looked back at the ceiling cover. Fang Zian also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Qin Hui was just worried that his calligraphy and painting treasures would be chewed by cats and mice, and was not suspicious of anything.

Qin Hui seemed to be leaving with the lantern, but when he walked behind the curtain, he suddenly stopped and turned around and walked back. Fang Zian was on guard again, wondering why the old thief didn't want to go. But he saw Qin Hui walking to the room outside.

At the partition wall, he hung a lantern on the corner of the antique shelf, reached out and touched the back of a golden Buddha statue. Then he picked up a calligraphy and painting. Fang Zian squinted and saw clearly that a dark pit appeared behind the calligraphy and painting.

Qin Hui reached out and groped inside, took out a wooden box, carried it on his back and looked at it, then quickly sent it back. Putting down the calligraphy and painting, he reached out and touched the Buddha statue again, and then used his palm to

After taking a picture of the calligraphy and painting, he picked up the lantern and left.

Fang Zian raised his eyes and looked at Feng Yiming, and the two of them almost laughed out loud. It was really hard to find anywhere, and it took no effort to get it. Although I didn't see what was in the box, since it was hidden so secretly, then

It must be the thing that Qin Hui values ​​the most. What could it be that is more important than the treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house?

"Let's go out and see how their fire is out. It should be almost done." Qin Hui said.

"It should be extinguished soon. The people in the fire department really have some tricks up their sleeves. Even Fang Zian is not a freeloader, so he still has some tricks up his sleeve." came Qin Tan's voice.

"Of course, that Fang Zian has some skills, otherwise, how could he have reached his current status? This guy is very scheming and a difficult person. He has made a marriage agreement with Shi Hao's daughter and will become Shi Hao's son-in-law.

. He even saw the opportunity to make a great contribution in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. This means and ability to exploit are not ordinary people. Fortunately, I made a clever move and overthrew the Prince of Pu'an County, thus cutting off his roots.

He won't be able to jump for long. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent given time. Hum, having said that, in front of me, he is still a small role. No matter how high he jumps, he is still a grasshopper and will be killed with one slap.

Already." Qin Hui smiled.

"That's how he can compare with grandpa. Grandpa wants to cure him, but it's not easy. Grandpa is slower, the stairs are a little shaky. Uncle Fu, the handrail of the stairs needs to be repaired tomorrow. Grandpa goes up and down,

Very inconvenient.”

"Yes, yes, what the Fifth Young Master said is absolutely true. I was careless."

The lights disappeared, the voices faded away, and soon the sound of the big iron door downstairs slamming shut was heard, and then only the noise of fire fighting outside was left.

Fang Zian and Feng Yiming put down the rope and slipped down. Fang Zian was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He blew up the fire certificate and went straight to the antique shelf. With excitement, Fang Zian reached out to the golden Buddha.

Touching behind his back, he touched a protruding button. Fang Zian pressed it lightly and heard a click, and a slight sound came from behind the picture of Autumn Rain in the Western Mountains hanging on the wall.
