I have to say that in this regard, Lin Mengya's worries are very reasonable.
Aunt Fang and Uncle Huo, who were also out on business, also experienced a thrilling moment.
However, unlike Lin Mengya, who did not arouse any suspicion at all, after realizing that the ancient books on the float were actually his parents' love tokens, Uncle Huo was like a thunderbolt, about to explode.
Fortunately, Aunt Fang was by his side.
At the critical moment, she pretended to be a shrewd and snobbish woman, and scolded Uncle Huo on the pretext that her man was not motivated.
Things like this happen from time to time, and others won't doubt it much if they think about it.
But Aunt Fang finally dragged Uncle Huo back and hurried back. As soon as she entered the door, her face immediately darkened.
"We have to change places quickly, or we might be targeted."
She hurriedly packed her things, but Uncle Huo seemed to be under a restraining spell and stood there without saying a word.
His eyes were red and his heart was in torment.
That is a relic of his parents!
How dare these people, dare
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.
Aunt Fang immediately became alert.
Pulling the person into the inner room, he pretended to curse a few more times, and then asked, "Who is it?"
"Aunt Fang, it's me."
Lin Mengya's hoarse and deep voice is uniquely identifiable.
Fang Rao immediately relaxed his guard and quickly opened the door.
"We have to go quickly"
"We can't leave for now"
They both spoke at the same time.
But one wants to leave and the other wants to stay.
Fang Rao frowned and quickly pulled her in.
"Girl, it's all because this old guy of mine is careless. We might be being targeted now!"
Although Aunt Fang is not a top expert, she has accumulated sufficient experience in acting behind the scenes over the years, and has a strong sense of danger.
It was fine when they were in the crowd, but along the way, she felt as if she was being followed.
Therefore, she was in a hurry to come back and move, so as not to expose her man's true identity in advance.
But Lin Mengya held her hand and her expression remained calm.
"We are indeed being watched. My people have discovered that someone is watching us. So in this case, we must not leave."
Compared to Aunt Fang's panic and worry, Lin Mengya thought more.
Now that someone is monitoring them, it shows that their identities have not been exposed yet.
This further illustrates that the ancient book came from a strange place.
The few tails brought back by Uncle Huo and Aunt Fang just verified her guess.
"Hmph! The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth! It's not like we, Fang Rao, are afraid of them. I just feel that doing more is worse than doing less."
Aunt Fang is actually a ruthless person at heart.
Just like she has been able to find a way out for herself in the past ten years, even though she was surrounded by traps everywhere in the Zhao family, which shows that she is not a coward who accepts her fate.
Since you can't escape, then confront them head on!
Lin Mengya looked at Aunt Fang, who was fighting hard, and patted her arm helplessly.
"The matter has not reached this level, but I do think it must have something to do with what Uncle Huo and the others did when they went to Pei's house that night."
The door to the inner room was also opened by Uncle Huo.
At this moment, he also regained his composure.
Lin Mengya nodded to Uncle Huo, who said apologetically, "I'm so sorry for dragging you down. Don't worry, I know what to do."
Lin Mengya really doesn't care whether she is a drag or not.
Besides, we are all revolutionary comrades on the same boat. She is good at nothing except protecting shortcomings.
Anyway, she and Yu have decided that Uncle Huo and his family are their partners, so they will naturally support them to the end.
What's more, she felt that there must have been some accident that night, otherwise Uncle Huo and Huo Xiao would not have been able to catch the other party with their caution.
Uncle Huo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I think they must have discovered that a few things were missing from the secret room underground. That's why they deliberately took out ancient books to fish."
The Huo family is a big businessman.
According to Huo Xiao's memories and Uncle Huo's description, the Huo family before they were wiped out could be said to be the richest man in the ancient clan at that time.
Naturally, all those countless wealth cannot be placed in one place.
Moreover, Huo Xiao's grandfather was also an extremely far-sighted businessman who also had a mindset of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
Therefore, he chose to divide all the Huo family's property into four parts.
The largest portion is naturally placed in the Huo family's main residence.
Therefore, after the massacre that year, Huo Xiao was able to rely on his own initiative to take away enough wealth to make a comeback.
The remaining three points were hidden in different places.
No one except Uncle Huo and Huo Xiao knows where the treasure is hidden.
As for the ones under the house in Yuehu City, they are the smallest part.
Even so, it is enough to make the current ancient families covet the wealth with red eyes.
Uncle Huo took Huo Xiao to visit the mansion at night, firstly to check the situation of the Pei family, and secondly, to take out a few things from where the treasure was hidden.
After they entered the secret room, they did find that there was less treasure here, but they didn't care.
After all, if the Pei family really finds out, they will definitely take it for themselves.
But despite this, they still had an extra thought and made some arrangements.
I think those people probably couldn't find out what was missing for the time being.
"I guess they found signs that the agency had been tampered with, so they suspected that someone from the Huo family had been here. Oh, it's just a guilty conscience."
The more Uncle Huo thought about it, the angrier he became, and his expression became worse and worse.
But Lin Mengya asked, "Uncle Huo, are you saying that the Pei family clearly found the treasure, but only used some of it?"
Uncle Huo nodded.
Lin Mengya was happy.
"I was just thinking that if they were really sure that it was the Pei family who did it, they would have arrested everyone in the city. There is only one possibility to use this kind of provocation to lure you out."
Her eyes sparkled.
"This batch of treasures should have been secretly obtained by the Pei family; and there are other people eyeing this batch of treasures, so they are not sure who made it."
Very simple.
If the existence of this batch of treasures is due to the Pei family passing through the Ming Dynasty, then based on the Pei family's current status among the ancient tribes, it is natural to use other names to search for them.
But they chose to adopt such a despicable and secretive method.
That means that the existence of these treasures, at least for the Pei family, is a secret that they try to hide.
And if they are sure that it was the Huo family who did it, then they can even use the excuse of seeing the Huo family to hunt them down.
But they still didn't.
This shows that they are not sure.
Even before this, someone should have sneaked into the house secretly, but the Pei family did not catch it, but there were other channels to confirm that someone knew the news about the treasure.
In this way, it would be beneficial to them.
After Lin Mengya's analysis, Uncle Huo's chaotic mind finally began to function normally.
He squinted his eyes, and his mind quickly filtered all the news about the Pei family over the years.
"The great prosperity of the Pei family has only happened in the past ten years. Therefore, the prosperity of the Pei family is most likely related to the treasures of our Huo family."
"Also, over the years, the Pei family has always used the name of merchants to form caravans to sell goods. So every time they come back, they bring back a large amount of supplies."
"But I paid attention before and found that their caravans were buying and selling medicines and food on the surface."
"The profits from these things are not enough to allow the huge Pei family to live like this. Rich. Therefore, the things that really support the Pei family should be the things of my Huo family!"
Lin Mengya praised in her heart, he is indeed Uncle Huo, once his IQ is online, he will be really powerful.
"One more thing, why don't the Pei family take back all the treasures?" she reminded.
Uncle Huo frowned, but thought of it immediately.
"The Pei family and the Lezheng family are married to each other, no, it's not just the Lezheng family."
"The Pei family seems to have intentional marriage relationships with many Shangxian clans. Those who marry in and out may be the work of other families. Therefore, old man Pei regards this place as a treasure house."
This really gave the Pei family a ready advantage!
Not only are everything ready, but even the treasure trove where things are stored is recyclable.
Of course, this premise is that all the Huo family members are dead!
Lin Mengya found that the more she delved into this matter, the more clues she could get and the more questions she had in her mind.
Therefore, with this introduction, she thought she could test the Pei family.
Obviously, Uncle Huo wanted to go with her.
"So, we should be careful these days. I don't think there will be any big problems."
Aunt Fang and Uncle Huo also agreed with her statement.
After all, Lin Mengya's purpose of coming this time is obviously more clear than theirs.
If they can't help, then try not to cause trouble.
Just as Lin Mengya was about to get up and leave some space for Aunt Fang and his wife, she heard crying coming from outside the door.
"Madam, please save my girl Xue'er!"
Familiar name, difficult argument.
Lin Mengya shrugged at Aunt Fang, but still stood up resignedly and went to see what was going on outside.
In fact, she had her own purpose in going to such trouble to deal with Xueer.
It's just that it's not convenient to tell Uncle Huo and the others now.
After leaving the door, Lin Mengya saw Xueer's eyes closed and she collapsed on the ground.
And beside her today was a strange young woman.
"Madam! Madam! I beg you to be merciful and let your master take in Sister Xue'er. My slave, I am willing to spend my whole life to repay you two for your kindness!"
Yo ho!
Yesterday it was all about the road, but today we changed the route? The change was a disastrous result?
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes, but still dodged the opponent's kneel down in a friendly manner.
"Who are you to her?" she asked this unfamiliar girl.
The latter raised his head, with a small face full of tears, which really made me feel pity for him.
"My maid, my maid is Sister Xue'er's adopted sister."
