Along the way, he saw that the guards of the Wei family were also moving, but they were all paying attention to the direction in which the "assassin" was escaping, so he took the opportunity to sneak into the dark courtyard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I felt a spooky feeling. There were very few lights here. Compared with the bright lights in other places in the Wei family, it seemed secluded and indescribable.
Moreover, there were no servants, no maids, no guards, no one in the yard.
After entering, the feeling is like going to a haunted house in an amusement park, and there is an aura of inaccessibility everywhere.
Zu An gathered his thoughts. He knew that time was tight, so it was better to find things as soon as possible.
Not only did he want to find the gold medal for Pei Mianman, he also wanted to find the box that Old Man Mi wanted.
Although Old Man Mi said there was no need to look for it for the time being, he still wanted to know what was in the box.
Of course, under normal circumstances, weighing the huge risks, he would still suppress his curiosity, but today's opportunity was really rare. Pei Mianman helped him lure people away. It would be a pity not to find him.
The layouts of the rooms of the big families in this world are similar. Being accustomed to the rooms of the Chu family, Zu An quickly discovered the existence of the study room in the courtyard.
He took a cursory look in the study, especially the bottles and jars on the bookshelf, and tried to turn them around. After all, after watching so many TV series, if there is any mechanism, it is usually on it.
Unfortunately, after he tried it again, there was no mechanism in the study.
So he decided to go to the bedroom to look for it. Not long after he walked around the study, he came to the bedroom at the back.
As soon as he entered the room, Zu An frowned and subconsciously fanned the air in front of his nose with his hand: "What is this smell?"
There is a strange smell mixed in the room. In fact, I can feel that it is the smell of expensive incense. Logically speaking, it shouldn't smell bad.
But the smell of incense is also mixed with a lingering smell of urine. When the two smells are mixed, the smell is simply amazing!
It's not fragrant to say it's fragrant, it's not smelly to be said to be smelly, it's a disgusting smell that's hard to describe.
"What is the Wei family doing? Can't they prepare a clean and tidy room?" Zu An complained, and did not stop searching.
He scanned the entire bedroom with lightning eyes, and then went straight to the bed.
He opened the quilt and tapped lightly on the bed board with his fingers.
Sure enough, not long after, a hollow sound came from somewhere under the bed board.
"Hey, these guys are so uncreative when it comes to hiding things." Zu An couldn't help complaining. These locations have been shown in TV series eight hundred times. I didn't expect people in this world to hide things like this.
He quickly found a hidden compartment and opened it. There was a box inside. It was the box that Old Man Mi had mentioned before. Both the appearance and the pattern details were exactly the same. He hurriedly took out the old box from his arms.
The box given to him was put back into its original position, so that even if he came back, he wouldn't immediately find that the items had been dropped.
He was very curious about what was in the box, and subconsciously wanted to open it. Unfortunately, the box was extremely delicately designed, and a stream of light flashed outside, indicating some kind of restriction.
Now that time was in a hurry, he did not dare to study it carefully at this time. After hastily stuffing it into his arms, he began to look for the gold medal that Pei Mianman was looking for.
Unfortunately, I searched every possible place in the room and couldn't find any trace of the gold medal.
It was almost time to see a stick of incense, and footsteps even came from not far away.
He did not dare to stay here any longer and hurriedly retreated.
"I don't know if Damanman can escape from that guy's clutches." Zu An was a little worried, so he simply ran to a wing in the yard and knocked over the oil lamp there. Soon flames and thick smoke rose.
He also took advantage of the chaos and returned to his room.
"The water is running away, the water is running away~"
It didn't take long for the Wei family to hear noisy sounds from everywhere, and the servants carried buckets to put out the fire.
Zu An pretended that nothing was wrong and ran out. He also pretended to pull a few servants passing by and asked: "What happened? What happened?"
The expressions are so real that he can really compete for the title of Best Actor at the Oscars.
Then he rushed to the Wei family's study with a worried look on his face, and happened to meet Qin Wanru coming out.
"Madam, are you okay?" Zu An asked with concern.
"It's okay." Qin Wanru looked at the chaotic Wei family with some confusion.
Someone had already run to report to the head of the family, Wei Dabao. After hearing this, his face changed slightly, and then he bowed his hand to Qin Wanru: "I'm really sorry, Madam Chu, something happened at home that made Madam laugh."
"The Master of the Wei family has made a serious statement. Since there is something going on in your house, we will not disturb you and leave first." Qin Wanru replied.
Wei Dabao nodded: "I have just told my wife what I should say. I will think about it carefully after she returns. Our Wei family is very sincere."
Qin Wanru smiled and nodded to him, and then left with Zu An.
After going out, Qin Wanru got into the carriage, and Zu An followed on horseback.
He couldn't help his curiosity, so he walked to the carriage and asked, "Madam, how was the conversation with the Wei family?"
Qin Wanru raised the curtain slightly, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face: "Come into the carriage."
The guards on the side exchanged glances one by one. It seems that the madam likes this uncle more and more. Please don't offend him again in the future.
In addition, some of the guards who participated in the bet with Cheng Shubo were crying and sad. It seemed that the bet was really going to be lost.
Hearing her call, Zu An was a little flattered. After all, they had known each other for so long, and every time she was either angry with him or on the way to being angry.
Such a friendly invitation is really rare.
After entering the carriage, I immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance. The richness of this fragrance was completely different from that of Chu Chuyan. It was obviously the fragrance of Qin Wanru.
Zu An recalled the smell he had smelled in the yard before. It was obviously a very expensive incense, but it still made him feel sick no matter how he smelled it. However, the smell was even more refreshing now.
Seeing him twitching his nose slightly, Qin Wanru frowned slightly, this guy really didn't know etiquette.
However, as a woman, it is still difficult to get angry when the fragrance on her body is recognized by men.
She snorted and woke him up: "Chu Yan repeatedly told me to trust you before she left. Although I still don't understand why she trusts you so much, I believe Chu Yan will not do it without aim."
"You are the middleman for the Wei family's affairs, so I don't have to hide anything from you when talking to them."
Zu An felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that Chu Yan's wife would consider him so much, so he said respectfully, "Thank you, madam."
Qin Wanru then continued: "The Wei family has offered to provide us with a loan with an interest rate of 8.8%."
Zaun was keenly aware of the point: "Then how many loans can they provide?"
"Infinite." Qin Wanru said.
"Infinite?" Zu An was stunned.
"Yes, they can provide us with as much as we want." Qin Wanru's voice was also a bit shocked, and she was obviously amazed by the Wei family's financial resources.
"Does his family have a mine?" Zu An was dumbfounded.
"I think he should be the spokesperson of some dignitaries in the capital." Qin Wanru analyzed.
"If it is true, this interest rate can be said to be very conscientious." Zu An said.
The interest rate of 8.8% was considered low even in the previous life. Although the bank's base interest rate is only about 6%, there are only a handful of people who can actually borrow bank loans at this interest rate, and they usually have strong connections. Most of them can do so.
As a business, thank God if you can borrow at an interest rate of 12%.
What's more, the amount the Chu family wants to borrow this time is an astronomical sum.
So no matter how you look at it, the Wei family's conditions this time are extremely generous.
Qin Wanru sighed: "It would be nice if it was just that simple, but they need our Chu family's salt farm as collateral. I'm worried that this is their conspiracy to seize our salt farm."
