Chapter 16 Picking up the money as early as possible
In a remote alley, Su Yizhao was so angry that he carried Mouse Girl around.
"Is it okay to dig graves? Ah? It's detrimental to one's morality!"
"Ouch! You didn't say you couldn't go to the mass grave!" Mouse Girl was also very aggrieved, but Su Yizhao didn't say it himself!
"Do you still want to drink spicy food? Have you forgotten the deliciousness of Linji Furong Cake?"
Su Yizhao was a little speechless, alas! Sure enough, we can't have hope for the rat girl.
"I'll ask again!" Mouse Girl swallowed her saliva thinking of Lin Ji's hibiscus cake, and quickly struggled to the ground, disappearing in a flash.
A quarter of an hour later, they appeared under a big willow tree next to the backyard of a house.
Su Yizhao glanced at the root of the willow tree and said, "Tell me! Is there a treasure down here?"
"Of course! Dig quickly!" Mouse Girl rolled her eyes and urged Su Yizhao to start digging for treasures.
Su Yizhao observed for a while and saw that this place was in a remote place. The backyard door was locked from the outside and there must be no one there, so he picked up a small shovel.
As she dug, she said, "I'm telling you! If there's no treasure in here, I'll have to pay for a shovel, and you'll have to compensate me!"
Su Yizhao thought that there was a treasure underneath, and his whole body was filled with energy at this moment.
"Huh? That's not right! The soil is a bit new and still so loose. Could it be someone else's treasure hidden down here?"
Su Yizhao didn't put much effort into digging, and suddenly felt a little confused.
"What do you care about him? Isn't it possible that someone bought it under the big tree? It's an ownerless thing, so dig it up!"
Mouse Girl really wanted to say Su Yizhao was annoying, but when she thought of her hibiscus cake, she held it back.
"Hey! You know a lot! But what you said makes sense!"
Su Yizhao no longer hesitated. Her time was limited, so she decided to dig it out first.
The soil below became looser with digging, and Su Yizhao dug a pit one meter deep without any effort.
Suddenly, she saw a piece of duck-egg blue satin fabric.
Su Yizhao was overjoyed and quickly put down the shovel and used a hand plane instead.
After careful digging twice, the cloth revealed its original shape, "There is really a treasure!"
This is clearly a purse. Judging from the material it is made of tapestry brocade, there should be something good inside.
Su Yizhao couldn't wait to hold the purse in his hands. He opened it and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Let me see, what is this? Huh? It's a piece of jade? But why is it black?"
Mouse Girl couldn't help but come over to take a look, and found that it was a piece of black jade, which made her very confused.
"It's black jade!" Su Yizhao was overjoyed. Judging from the quality, it was still black jade, so it should be worth a lot of money.
She brought the jade closer to her eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that it was carved with a soaring goshawk.
Turn the ink jade over, and the carving on that side is a cluster of flames, and the big character below is "order"!
Su Yizhao's heart sank. This was not someone's treasure buried here, but a token.
She sighed deeply, it seemed that she couldn't take this treasure away.
"Moyu? I've never seen it. How much do you think it's worth? It looks pretty good. You should be able to buy a lot of hibiscus cakes, right?"
Su Yizhao ignored Mouse Girl's words, but poured it out of his purse, and found that there was a banknote, twenty taels of silver ingots and a few taels of broken silver in it.
Su Yizhao should have been happy originally, but because of this token, she hesitated.
If the owner comes back and finds that the money is gone, will he look for the person who stole the money?
This token may have some secret that cannot be known by outsiders. If they find her and kill her to silence her, wouldn't she die unjustly?
I opened the banknote and looked at it, and found that there was no special mark. The banknote was still one hundred taels.
"Ah! I'm so excited!" Su Yizhao hesitated, but Mouse Girl couldn't wait any longer.
"Hurry! If someone comes, they will be discovered."
Forget it! It’s better to take it back first. Don’t use the banknote for now. We’ll talk about it later. It can always be prepared for emergencies!
Su Yizhao was cruel and put the banknotes and silver in his pocket, and put the token back into his purse.
Anyway, no one saw it, so could it be that there was a name engraved on the silver?
"Why don't you take it?" Mouse Girl asked in confusion.
"There will be trouble if you take it. We can do it as long as we have the money. Don't worry! This is enough for you to eat the hibiscus cake."
As Su Yizhao said this, he buried the purse back and pulled it randomly with his hands twice, but he pulled out another piece of cloth.
The red satin had complicated prints on it. Su Yizhao was a little curious and couldn't help but start picking at it again.
But when her hand touched a soft object, she couldn't help but backed away in fear.
"What's wrong?" Mouse Girl walked over curiously and found that it was clearly a hand, a pale hand.
What Su Yizhao dug just now was this dead man's hand.
"Ouch! Is there a dead person in here?" Mouse Girl opened her eyes wide, looking shocked.
"Hurry and bury it back!" Su Yizhao calmed down now. Something serious is going on, so run away quickly.
She picked up the shovel on the side and began to fill it with soil.
At this moment, her heart was pounding, and she looked around while digging.
If someone really killed him and buried him here, the murderer might have been watching in secret.
Su Yizhao became extremely angry when he thought that he was about to be involved in a murder case.
"Can your little friends be more reliable? I'm talking about picking up money! Why do you always find things for me that belong to dead people?"
Thinking of the money in his arms, Su Yizhao suddenly felt unlucky.
She originally wanted to put the money back, but then she thought about it and didn't want to give it up.
The bold ones will be supported to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death. How could such a righteous thing as silver be unable to suppress those evil spirits?
Besides, if the murderer was watching secretly, then even if she didn't take the money, people would find her, so it would be better to take it first.
"How can there be so much silver to pick up? You have to get up early to pick up silver! By the time we go, there won't even be a copper left."
The mouse girl felt a little unreasonable, but her tone was still confident.
Now is not the time to worry about it. We can clean up this little thing when we get back. Su Yizhao's men were very fast and quickly filled up the hole again.
After giving the soil two hard pats, Su Yizhao picked up the rat girl and ran away.
Seeing no one around, she threw the shovel into the river.
As she ran, she looked back and saw that no one was chasing her, so she calmed down her racing heart.
Taking a deep breath and looking at the bustling market ahead, she patted the dust on her body, straightened her sleeves, and quickened her pace.
…
"Master! We were late, no one was there, and we didn't find anything!" A man in black said respectfully through the curtain.
A dense red agate bead curtain separated the inner and outer rooms. Incense clouds were burning in the inner room. Through the bead curtain, one could vaguely see a person lying on his side on the Arhat couch.
"Maybe he's dead. Have you found anything?"
The young man's lazy voice sounded, a little hoarse, but still like the breeze blowing the moon.
"No! I don't know whether he is alive or dead at the moment. I searched the house and couldn't find it."
