Chapter 1411 There is a problem with Guanyin Temple
A-Lan believed in her intuition. A-Yu was right. There was nothing suspicious about the temple. There was no problem if the temple was placed in a populated place, but it would be unreasonable if it was placed in a remote mountain.
However, they found nothing, not even a human figure here. The only thing they can do now is probably to stay here.
With a bang, a stone hit him. A-Lan looked up and found that there was no one there at all. Looking down at the stone, there was a note wrapped on the stone.
It says: There is something wrong with the Guanyin statue.
Alan suddenly stood up and looked around to find out who was helping him. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this person was probably a brother of the Fengtian Sect. They couldn't show up at this time, so they secretly reminded themselves.
A-Lan handed the note to A-Yu. After reading it, A-Yu said: "Does the Guanyin statue have a mechanism?" A-Lan said: "Why don't I go in and take a look alone? You stay here. If I don't come out, you will
Go back and find Uncle Ren."
"No, I have to go in with you. Don't waste time. I'm really worried about you going in alone." Ayu said.
A-Lan had no choice but to return to the temple with A-Yu. After entering the main hall, they circled in front of the Buddha statue, hoping to find the problem.
A-Lan reached out and touched the lotus lamp and found that the lamp was movable. So he twisted the base of the lotus lamp and an underground passage popped up from the level of the Buddha statue.
They secretly walked down. The stairs they built didn't have many steps, and soon they found a passage. The strange thing was that there seemed to be no one in the cave. Was there no one in the gold mine?
Because there was no candlelight, after going down, Ah Lan's eyes were completely dark. He had no choice but to take out the Night Pearl. With the Night Pearl, he could see clearly that this was indeed the gold mine mentioned by the shopkeeper, but there was no movement at all inside.
, is it a shutdown?
They walked for a long time and finally reached the end. A Lan was a little confused and said in a low voice: "In the past ten years, they have dug so little land?"
"It looks like he left without finishing digging. Moreover, if he dug every day for more than ten years, how could he only dig here?" Ayu said.
Both sides of the hole were reinforced with wooden piles, but the golden gold could still be seen on both sides. But what was the reason that caused them to stop work?
According to the greed of the Great Elder, he will not do this. He will definitely find a way to dig out all the gold mines in the mountain range before he is done.
"Let's go out and talk." Alan said, picking up a piece of gold that fell from the ground.
The two people returned to the temple, moved the lotus lanterns, and closed the secret door.
This trip was quite fruitful, because they found a gold mine. Although there was no one there, they were sure that the shopkeeper was telling the truth.
The two returned to Leng Mansion first, took a bath and changed their clothes, and then went to the Yamen again. Nan Qing saw that it was them who came, so he rolled his eyes and took them into the house.
"What happened again?" Nan Qing said.
"Do you know there is a temple in the mountains in the northern suburbs?" A Lan asked.
"Many people visit that temple in the northern suburbs, how could they not know about it?" Nan Qing said.
"It's not Qingshan Temple, it's a very remote place in the mountains." A Lan said.
"You mean there is a temple in the mountains in the northern suburbs?" Nan Qing asked.
After listening to Nan Qing's words, A Lan understood that Nan Qing didn't know at all. In other words, this temple was basically a cover-up. If no one found out, it would be fine. Even if they found out and walked around, they would just treat this temple as a
Take a look at the abandoned temple.
Nan Qing saw A-Lan nodding and said, "Are you two so bored that you went to that temple in the northern suburbs?"
"We did go, but it wasn't boring. I came here today just to chat with you and kill some time," A-Lan said.
Nan Qing understood and said: "So that's why. I think those elders will fall apart sooner or later because of your torment. Then you can rest here for a while, and I'll make you a pot of tea."
"No, no, no, come on, come and sit with me at the restaurant and have something to eat by the way." A-Lan said.
Nan Qing didn't eat anyway, so the three of them went to the restaurant again. After eating, they sat there drinking tea and chatting.
Of course, the elders received the news again, telling them that A-Lan had gone to the Yamen again. This time, the elder was not so panicked, but he still felt that he could not figure out what A-Lan wanted to do.
"What exactly does he want to do? If the Yamen has clues, they will take the initiative to find A-Lan. However, A-Lan has taken the initiative to go to the Yamen over and over again. Isn't it bad?" the elder said.
"What on earth is he doing?" the third elder murmured.
Not to mention the First Elder, even the Third Elder didn't figure out what A-Lan wanted to do this time. Since everything was handed over to the Yamen, why do we have to go there again and again? In just a few days, we went there in total
Three times.
"If they can't find it out, I'll investigate it myself. Even though the Yamen has been alerted, nothing has been found out," the elder said.
"Third brother, did they have any clues and provided them to the Yamen?" the second elder said after thinking about it carefully.
"What the second brother said is not unreasonable, or they found the clue first, so they went to the Yamen in person." The third elder said.
"No matter what is found out, this kid shouldn't report it to the official." The great elder shouted.
Inside the restaurant
"Did you discover a gold mine in the Guanyin Temple?" Nan Qing asked with his eyes widened.
"That's right, it's just that I'm a little surprised. There's no one in the gold mine. It doesn't look like there was an accident. The cave looked like it was still mining a few days ago. Could it be that they knew I was investigating, so
Stopped mining?" Alan said.
"You only planned to investigate the gold mine in these two days. How could they know it so quickly? I think there must be some reason. Why not wait a few days and then go take a look." Nan Qing said.
"I didn't expect Shopkeeper Jing to have been killed long ago. I always thought it was Shopkeeper Jing who killed someone and hid the body, but it turned out that it was him who was hidden," said A-Lan.
"He was right to attack the Leng family, but it cost him his life," Nan Qing said.
"Finally, the life story of the skeleton was found out, and it can finally be laid to rest." A Lan said.
"Alan, if the gold mine remains empty and unoccupied, won't we continue the investigation?" Ayu asked.
"Of course not. Don't forget that Jin Yuzhai's accounts are also a problem. Even if there is no one in the gold mine, we can still start from that account. However, we should continue to act on the tea garden." A Lan said.
.
"Have you made arrangements?" Ayu asked.
"I asked Uncle Ren to send the banknote directly to the tea garden. The steward has already told me. Even if the elders ask, they know how to answer." A Lan said.
"That's good. They have been thinking about the tea garden. I guess they must be worried that we will suspect them. After all, we ourselves caused the tea garden incident. If we suspect them, they will feel very wronged.
." Ayu said.
"They are worried about being suspected by us, not only because of their grievances, but also because they are worried that we will investigate previous matters. The gold mine incident is one of them," said Alan.
"Is there anything else?" Ayu asked.
"They killed people for the gold mine, and I don't know what other crazy things they can do." A Lan said.
After the three people left the restaurant, Nan Qing entered the Yamen alone, and the two of them went directly back to Leng's house.
Because of the incident in the tea garden, the elders did not come over again and again to ask to see Yueyao. It was funny to think about it. They were worried that they would be wronged and were so scared that they did not even dare to go out. After A-Lan and A-Yu stepped into the door of the house, they went directly to the backyard.
.
When the servants in the backyard saw A-Lan and A-Yu coming, they first greeted A-Lan respectfully. A-Lan ignored them and entered the house with A-Yu after getting Yueyao's consent.
When Huan'er saw this, she went out because besides preparing tea, she also wanted to watch Shu'er in the yard.
Shu'er originally took a few steps forward. She wanted to stand in front of the door and eavesdrop on what A-Lan and Yueyao were saying, but she was discovered by Huan'er who had just come out.
"What are you doing?" Huan'er asked.
"I saw dust on the windows and I wanted to wipe them," Shuer said.
"You don't need to clean here. You are tired after a busy day. Go back to your room and rest for a while." Huan'er persuaded.
Shu'er wanted to say that she wasn't tired, but before she could say anything, Huan'er had already entered the small kitchen.
Shu'er knew that she should have gone to prepare tea, so she stayed in the yard and did not leave.
inside the house
"The elder has not been making trouble in Leng Mansion these days." Yue Yao said.
"Something happened in the tea garden, and the elders haven't paid attention to it these days," A Lan said.
"What happened in the tea garden?" Yueyao asked worriedly.
"I deliberately caused a few boxes of goods to be lost in the tea garden. The elders were worried that I would suspect them, so they have hardly been here in the past few days." A Lan said.
"So that's the case, no wonder." Yueyao said.
"Well, Ayu and I came here just to ask you how much you know about the elders." Alan asked.
At that time, if the elders kept coming to test them, I believe Yueyao would have sent someone to investigate the elders. After thinking of this, A-Lan decided to meet Yueyao with A-yu.
"Actually, I don't know them very well. Although they have been testing us, I always feel that they have bad intentions. However, I have sent people to investigate them. As you can see, the Third Changcheng Palace is very deep.
, the first elder has a bad temper, while the second elder is very gentle. The people sent to investigate them mentioned that they liked to go to the northern suburbs at that time. It happened that at that time, I had reached a bottleneck in practicing forbidden arts, and they needed to protect me.
I asked them to withdraw all of them. I was also worried that my secret would be discovered. It would be better to have more trouble than less, so I did not continue the investigation, as long as they did not get caught." Yue Yao murmured.
It seems that all the three elders of the gold mine in the northern suburbs have a share, and the only person the shopkeeper saw back then was the eldest elder. If Yueyao had conducted an in-depth investigation at that time, wouldn't there have been earth-shaking changes? She
She will definitely find a way to take away the gold mine. Will she still be interested in the ancient tomb then?
"Things are by no means as simple as you see. You should have a good rest first and remember to take your medicine on time." After listening to Yueyao's words, A-Lan hurriedly left the backyard with A-Yu.
Just as Huan'er's tea was brought out, he saw Ayu and Alan leaving.
