After experiencing the kidnapping of my own young lady before, and the night break-in of thieves just two days ago, even the most indifferent person knows that this house is probably being targeted. Although the master went to report it to the police early that night,
The policemen from the yamen came to the house to inquire, but then left. They would only ensure that more people would be sent to patrol the streets at night, but they would do nothing else that night.
In this way, the maids and servants in the house were even more worried. The thief who didn't even catch the royal guard invited by the master, there was nothing an ordinary policeman could do. But the royal guard just happened to come to the house as a guest, and the next day
He left and was injured. Even the official of Jin Yiwei was betrayed, but knowing how ruthless this thief was, who knew he would not come again? In this way, even the busy master could not come out.
, people in the Song Dynasty were panic-stricken.
In the study, Song Qingfeng has been sitting quietly for an hour. There is no one around him, and there is no usual account book on the desk. Instead, there is an exquisite sandalwood box. Song Qingfeng is sitting on the chair and playing with a piece of paper in his hand.
An exquisite jade pendant. Made of mutton-fat jade, it is carved into a tiger with teeth and claws. The image of the tiger is so lifelike that you can tell it is extraordinary just by looking at the workmanship.
Song Qingfeng had been lost in thought for a long time while holding the jade pendant. He looked through the jade pendant several times but still had no clue. Even the wooden box used to store the jade pendant was carefully checked by him. There were no interlayers and no characters. It was true that
It was an ordinary box. What his father had passed down to him before his death was indeed an exquisite jade pendant. But many things had happened in the past month, and when he thought about the questions asked by the Jin Yiwei Shen Ye, Song Qingfeng knew that most of them were because of this.
But Song Qingfeng didn't know the reason, and his father didn't explain it before he died.
The jade pendant in his hand glowed with a unique soft color under the sunlight. Song Qingfeng looked at it carefully again. He sighed but had to give up and carefully put the jade pendant back into the wooden box. Just as he was about to get up, there was someone outside the study door.
There was a call.
"Sir, Madam is here, would you like to have a meal?"
The little maid outside the door shouted loudly. When Song Qingfeng heard this, he quickly picked up the wooden box and took two quick steps. He put it in a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf. He closed the hidden compartment and returned the book to its place. Song Qingfeng looked at it carefully.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he quickly went over and opened the door.
After closing the door, Song Qingfeng looked at the madam in the yard and smiled, then stepped forward and said, "Madam, you have been waiting for a long time. Where is the girl Yu Jing? Has she passed?"
Watching the madam and the master go away, the two maids outside the study were relieved, but suddenly they heard the master turn around and say again: "You two stay here and don't move around. Remember to give me some advice later."
The lamp is on in the study, sir, I have had dinner and I have to come back to read."
"yes!"
The footsteps were getting farther and farther, and the two little maids patted their chests with their hands and let out a long sigh of relief, and their bodies suddenly softened.
Seeing the master go away, the two little maids who had been standing with him for more than two hours didn't care about anything else. They just patted the dust and sat down on the cold stone steps. They opened their chat boxes and started chatting happily.
"Hey, the master is really scared to death when he turns around!"
"That's right! Hey, let me tell you, Xiaolian, have you heard? In the morning, the butler scolded some of our servants who were helping us in the kitchen!"
"Ah!? I don't know why the butler is angry again? Please tell me what's going on!"
"What else could be the reason? Someone must be stealing food at night?"
"Ah! This! The master and his wife treat us well, but they have never left anyone without enough to eat. If you don't say you don't have enough to eat during the day, you steal it at night and don't know who did it. How shameless!"
"That's right!"
........
After dinner, Song Qingfeng plunged into the study again. But this time he did not sit on the chair, but paced back and forth in the room. After a long time, as if he suddenly made up his mind, he opened the door
Facing the two little maids outside the door, he ordered: "Go and tell Uncle Chen to prepare a carriage for me immediately. I want to go out. Oh, by the way, if Madam comes to ask later, just tell me, Master, I am going out."
Went to the dock to look at the goods."
After hearing the master's instructions, the two little maids responded in unison, "Yes!"
Then the little maid on the left took a lantern and ran quickly to notify the butler.
During tea time, a carriage was ready outside the Song Mansion. The butler, Old Uncle Chen, was waiting beside the carriage holding a lantern. From a distance, he saw the master coming with a wooden box in his arms.
"Master, it's not peaceful here in the city, why don't we go there early tomorrow morning!" Going out at night is not a special thing. In the past, cargo ships would arrive at night, and the master would often go out at night. It's just that things are not peaceful at home recently.
The housekeeper still asked with concern.
Hearing the housekeeper's concern, Song Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Hey, I haven't been to the dock for two days, so I can't feel relieved. Didn't the Yamen police officer say he would send more people to patrol the streets? Business can't be delayed.
!”
Seeing that the master had made up his mind, the old housekeeper could only nod his head, personally helped Song Qingfeng into the car, and called six or seven strong servants to follow him.
The carriage walked slowly and leisurely along the brightly lit main street. Along the way, we did see a lot more people patrolling the Yamen.
After leaving the city, the lights on the street have not dimmed much. Although it is not as noisy as during the day, the night market in Wuding is still lively. The restaurants and teahouses are brightly lit, and there are people walking on the street in twos and threes. From time to time, the cries of vendors selling midnight snacks can be heard.
Seeing this, Song Qingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, put down the car curtain, stared at the wooden box in his hand and murmured, "If it's just for this, it's a disaster rather than a treasure. It's better to give it away!"
The carriage staggered away for another half an hour. The servant driving the carriage opened the curtain and reminded, "Sir, we have arrived at the dock!"
"Well, I understand. Just wait here. You don't have to follow me. I'll go over and take a look at the goods and then go back."
After saying this, Song Qingfeng got off the carriage, hugged the box and walked away along the wooden path on the water.
After wandering around for a while, Song Qingfeng came to the end of a wooden road. The moonlight was shining brightly on the river. In the distance, he could hear the shouts of the men unloading the goods at night. Normally, Song Qingfeng would have been anxious to greet the unloaders.
, but today he is enjoying the cool breeze blowing on his face, because no goods have arrived at the port today.
The wind stopped, and Song Qingfeng was about to change places, but when he turned around, the pupils in his eyes were extremely dilated, "Ah!" he said, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back.
I don't know when a person has been standing on the wooden path behind him, bathed in color, standing quietly on a fixed wooden stake inserted into the water beside the wooden path, wearing a black cloak, silver hair flying, jade face covered with veil, indescribable under the moonlight.
Fantasy and weird.
Is this a human? Is it a monster? Could it be that it is really the white-haired monster that has been rumored among dockworkers in recent days!!!
Song Qingfeng's hands were sweating, and he was too frightened to say anything. He calmed down and thought to himself: So what little friend Shen Ye said is true, is he really a silver-haired thief?
The man was silent and just stared at Song Qingfeng. Song Qingfeng was so frightened by the sight. At his age, he didn't dare to say that he was well-informed. He had traveled all over the country, but he was still very frightened. . He swallowed, mustered up his courage, and said
"You, you are, who are you!"
But the man seemed not to hear him and did not answer. He just slowly turned his eyes to the wooden box in Song Qingfeng's arms.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Song Qingfeng became even more panicked. In the silent night, there was no other sound except his own rapid breathing and pounding heartbeat.
However, after all, Song Qingfeng noticed the silver-haired woman's eyes moving downward because of her carefulness and boldness after decades of doing business.
After coughing a little and confirming that he could still make sounds, Song Qingfeng plucked up the courage and stammered again.
"This, this, this girl, no, no, this heroine! Song, Song knows that you want something from Song. Now, now, now Song is willing to offer it with both hands, but please Let go, let go of Song’s wife and children!”
Using all his strength, Song Qingfeng finished speaking, then he bowed his body, held up the wooden box with both hands, lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the person in front of him.
"!"
This time, the silver-haired woman finally reacted, her silver eyelashes flickered slightly, and when she stepped a little further, they fell to the ground leisurely like falling flowers in the spring breeze.
Song Qingfeng suddenly saw a pair of white embroidered shoes in front of his eyes. He was so startled that he trembled and thought to himself: How, how could it be possible? How could you not hear any sound when going up and down such a high wooden stake?! Could it be possible that this ,Human ,No, this is really that,,,monster!
But before he could figure it out, he felt a light touch in his hand and the wooden box had been picked up.
A "squeak" sound broke the silence of the night. Song Qingfeng knew that the wooden box had been opened, and his heart was beating rapidly. Sweat could not stop flowing from his forehead and into his eyes, which made his eyes hurt.
Then, I finally heard the woman say, "That's great, that's it. We won't cause you any more trouble!"
The sound was ethereal and cold, hitting my heart like a silver needle falling into a disk.
With just this sentence and no more words, Song Qingfeng found that the embroidered shoes in front of him disappeared in the blink of an eye. The silk river wind blew on Song Qingfeng's back, which was extremely cold. It turned out that the brocade clothes were soaked with sweat. Song Qingfeng slowly lifted them up. He got up and looked around, only to find that the man had left. Then he felt relieved and breathed in the cool night air. The burning pain in his mouth was so strong that he didn't realize it until now. The pain was unbearable at this moment, and Song Qingfeng was in a hurry. He hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Although he was glad that his bet was right, what he saw and heard tonight was simply the first time in decades. He stood for a long time before he regained his composure and walked away from the pier, still feeling sad in his heart. I couldn't calm down for a long time.
...
It's night, at Liu Chishu's house
The lights in the study were bright, and Liu Chishu was correcting the official documents on the table one by one with a wolf hair. Before he put down the approved official documents in his hand, he heard a soft shout from beside him.
"grown ups!!!"
With such an ethereal sound, Liu Chishu knew who was coming without raising his head, and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"It's Fairy Indigo Ling, please sit down quickly!"
But the silver-haired Indigo Ling didn't answer, and just handed over an exquisite wooden box.
"Hiss! What is this?" Liu Chishu was puzzled.
But Indoling still didn't speak. She just turned her eyes to the wooden box and gestured to open it.
"Could it be that?" Liu Chishu's voice rose, and he hurriedly walked around the desk, took the wooden box and carefully placed it on the desk.
After confirming that the wooden box was intact, Liu Chishu found two extremely exquisite jade pendants lying quietly in the box. One of them was carved into a dragon-shaped jade pendant, and Liu Chishu recognized it at a glance as the best ice from the land where the clouds hang.
It is made of a kind of jadeite, which is completely translucent and slightly light green. The other one is a ferocious tiger-shaped jade pendant made of mutton-fat jade from the Western Regions. Liu Chishu did not dare to show off his grandeur, so he carefully held out the two jade pendants.
Then the light was used to carefully observe its workmanship, and after confirming that it was flawless, it was gently placed into the box.
The shock and nervousness on his face disappeared, replaced by unstoppable joy.
He turned around and bowed deeply to Indigo Ling, and said, "Today I found the jade pendant. Liu is so happy! Everything depends on the help of fairies. If there were no fairies, Liu would have to dig in the ground for three days."
I can't find these four beasts jade pendants even with my feet. I'm extremely grateful, which I can't express in words. Liu's admiration for the fairy is like the endless river..."
Liu Chishu's voice was trembling, his old face turned into a flower with a smile, and he was praising Indigo Ling in front of him!
"Master Liu!"
Indigo Ling's ethereal voice directly interrupted Liu Chishu, who was immersed in infinite joy.
Hearing the fairy's soft cry, Liu Chishu also realized that he had lost his temper. He coughed twice, straightened up and said, "How forgiving the fairy is, Liu is so happy. If we find these four beast jade pendants, we will surely open the door to the treasure."
! What a shame! But I don’t know how the fairy found the last two jade pendants? "
Indoling looked at him and replied slowly, "Song Qingfeng!"
After hearing this answer, Liu Chishu slapped the desk angrily, "Oh, Song Qingfeng! It turns out that both jade pendants are in the hands of this old immortal like you! So that's it, that's it!"
It turns out that the two jade pendants fell into your hands. No wonder we searched in many ways to no avail, and even caused us to get into trouble in Jinlin. Huh!!! Song Qingfeng, what a good trick, if it weren't for this time
Fairy takes action, this jade pendant is really hard to find! It’s really unexpected!”
Liu Chishu was already a little excited and incoherent. As he talked, he walked to the window and looked at the lights in Wuding City, but he couldn't help laughing loudly again.
"Also, Mr. Liu, the identity of the Jin Yiwei sister has been cleared up. She is Shen Ye, a member of the Jinlin Town Office. It is said that he came here just for the Wu Daode case. He rescued Miss Song. Then
We must have met each other by chance at the Song Mansion at night, and I heard that his sister has also come to Wuding. He has been taking her to play around in the past few days, and even went to East Lake today. I think he came here to have some fun. This person is not worth it.
Worrying, it’s just that my sister met a martial artist with good qinggong skills outside the Song Mansion that night, but I don’t know if he was the guardian invited by Song Qingfeng.”
Hearing this, Liu Chishu walked back to the center of the study, stroking his beard and said, "If this person hadn't saved Miss Song's family and ruined our affairs, then this jade pendant would have been found earlier, and that stupid pig wouldn't have been killed.
Zhao Kuang would come up with such a bad idea and lose so many people. This person should die! However, there are important things at the moment, so let’s just leave him alone! As for Song Qingfeng’s nursing home that the fairy said, I’m here
Wu Ding has never heard of it for a long time, and no one under his command has ever discovered it, which is worth noting!"
After hearing this, Indigo Ling nodded slightly, "In this way, Indigo Ling has completed what the Lord ordered, so I'll take my leave first!" After that, he turned and walked directly to the window.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Liu Chishu rushed after her, "Wait! Fairy, what are we discussing???"
But before Liu Chishu could finish asking, Indoling had already walked away with a light step.
Liu Chishu, who had chased him to the window, looked out the window, but could not find his figure anywhere. He sighed and was about to close the window when he heard a voice in the air: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we will keep our promises."
OK!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Chishu's face again and he walked back to the desk.
"Here comes someone! Go and ask the young master to come over!" This chapter has been completed!
