Volume 3 Human Skin Hand Scroll Chapter 28 The Whereabouts of the Hand Scroll
Since the party, Momofuku has started to appear in the hotel with her new image. Her new image caused an uproar inside the hotel! Everyone is talking about Momofuku's changes. Fortunately, Momofuku is at work almost every day
, otherwise, everyone would have to say that she went for plastic surgery.
I wonder if everyone likes the new Pfaff more, and everyone in the hotel is much more polite to her. Even Su Weixin, who had been deliberately embarrassing her some time ago, immediately changed his attitude and became particularly amiable to her. Of course,
It also means her job is much easier.
The last chat made Baifu and the others get closer to Xiao Yizhe.
In order to find out about the human skin hand scroll as soon as possible, I made an appointment with Xiao Yizhe again today, in a teahouse affiliated with the Ling family.
Baifu, Ning Xiao, Zhang Yang, Hunter, and Ling Hao all went there. Yi Dao was still missing and didn't know what he was busy with. Ji Yan was deliberately avoided by Ling Hao, and the conflict between them was obviously still there.
not solved.
Xiao Yizhe came to the appointment happily.
When he saw so many people in the room, Xiao Yizhe was stunned for a moment, and then greeted everyone affectionately.
He is indeed a shrewd businessman, he is really versatile!
Ning Xiao spoke first. He didn't go around in circles and asked directly: "Where is the human skin hand scroll?"
Xiao Yizhe was immediately stunned and his face became extremely ugly: "What kind of human skin hand scroll? I don't know!"
"Hmph!" Ning Xiao's face turned cold as usual, "Didn't you say last time that all the antiques sold in the store had been purified by mages? Then what happened to the white porcelain bottle that your store sold to my dad last time?
?”
A layer of dark clouds covered Xiao Yizhe's already dark face. He remained silent and just kept drinking the tea in his hand.
"Do you know that that white porcelain bottle almost killed my dad?"
Ning Xiao said angrily. Now that he thinks about the scene at that time, he is filled with fear. How afraid he is of losing his father, whom he has been dependent on since childhood!
Ling Hao spoke and told Xiao Yizhe the story of the white porcelain bottle.
Xiao Yizhe's face was a little shaken, and his helpless expression replaced the original stubbornness and toughness.
After thinking carefully for a while, Xiao Yizhe spoke slowly: "I'm sorry Ning Xiao, I didn't mean to harm uncle... I... also have a lot of difficulties..."
Seeing that Xiao Yizhe still hesitated to tell, Baifu asked: "Didn't you tell the story about a pair of embroidered shoes last time? If I guessed correctly, the pair of embroidered shoes should still be in your father's hands, right?
?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yizhe looked at Baifu warily, not sure what she wanted to do.
Baifu smiled at him and took out his bronze mirror from his backpack: "Look at the pattern on this, is it the same as the pattern on that pair of embroidered shoes?"
Xiao Yizhe took the bronze mirror with hesitation and took a look at it. He was shocked and said, "Where did you get this bronze mirror?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Baifu also started to show off. At this time, he had to whet his appetite, "Answer my question first."
"Yeah." Xiao Yizhe stared at the spirit flower pattern on the back of the bronze mirror and nodded heavily, "It's this kind of flower. I will never forget the sharp teeth in the mouth of this flower!"
"That half human skin hand scroll... tortured you very miserably, didn't it?" The hunter suddenly interjected coldly.
This faint sentence completely destroyed the defense line in Xiao Yizhe's heart.
After swallowing another sip of tea, Xiao Yizhe struggled in his heart for a long time and finally told everyone everything he knew.
It turns out that this Xiao family is actually a tomb robber.
Tomb robbers specialize in obtaining ill-gotten gains, and they have an instinctive greed for all treasures.
It was precisely for this reason that the Xiao family did the shameless thing of kidnapping Chu Fang's daughter to threaten Chu Fang, and thus obtained half of the human skin hand scroll.
Xiao Yizhe was not very clear about the details, and he had never seen the human-skin hand scroll. He had only heard bits and pieces about it from his father and uncle.
The matter of the human-skin hand scroll seemed to be very difficult, and my father and uncle would sigh when they talked about it.
However, Xiao Yizhe did not tell Baifu and the others about this, as he did not want others to know that the Xiao family also had a bad side.
Xiao Yizhe still agreed to take a few people to see his father and let his father explain it clearly to them in person. After all, this human skin hand scroll has indeed been bothering the Xiao family for many years. It is time to solve it, or these people may really be able to help.
Maybe when we get to Xiao's house.
After listening to Xiao Yizhe's explanation, everyone realized that the original white porcelain bottle was obtained completely by accident and did not follow the instructions of the human skin hand scroll.
At that time, the eldest brother of Xiao Yizhe's father took several of his men, including Mouse Eyes, to Shennongjia to look for another ancient tomb. Unexpectedly, they accidentally broke into the underground tomb that Baifu and the others had also visited.
tomb.
Unexpectedly, there were originally seven people who went in, but only one came back. The casualties were extremely heavy!
And the only one who survived, Xiao Yizhe's uncle, only brought back the white porcelain bottle that caused trouble.
As for what exactly happened, we can only know by asking Xiao Yizhe's father.
"I didn't mean to harm Uncle Ning..." Xiao Yizhe paused and said with some guilt: "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't want to sell the white porcelain bottle to Uncle Ning... Yes, it was the white porcelain bottle I chose.
Got his..."
"It's been a long time and you don't know anything!" The hunter did not hide his disappointment and became strongly dissatisfied.
Xiao Yizhe was stunned for a moment in embarrassment, and then muttered aggrievedly: "I didn't say I knew everything, so why blame me..."
The people next to me couldn't help laughing.
Ling Hao also told Xiao Yizhe about the fact that they went to the ancient tomb and saw the half-broken rat's eye.
After listening to Ling Hao's story, Xiao Yizhe's face became increasingly ugly.
"Let's leave now." Xiao Yizhe couldn't sit still anymore. These things were too weird, so it would be better to let his father know as soon as possible.
"Give me back the bronze mirror first." Baifu stretched out her hand unceremoniously. In fact, she had been holding back for a long time. That Xiao Yizhe just refused to return it to her, otherwise she wouldn't have to speak directly.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yizhe actually asked: "Can you sell me this bronze mirror? Let me know how much it costs!"
