"I can't believe it, I can't believe that this guy is so careless that he can hide in the latrine." Chen Ke and Song Duanping ran over and saw that Wulang dug three feet into the ground of the latrine and dug out a large oil paper package from the ground.
.
After peeling back the layers of wrapping, I saw only one layer of oil paper and one layer of lime, which were wrapped in more than ten layers. Because of this, the inside could still stay dry.
When the last layer of oil paper was peeled off, a well-sealed rattan box appeared in front of the three people.
The cane box was unlocked, so it opened with a hard push, and you saw stacks of banknotes neatly stacked inside, exuding a faint scent of ink.
"It's actually Jiaozi?!" As a Sichuan native, Song Duanping was naturally very familiar with this kind of banknotes. Song Duanping couldn't help but exclaimed: "How much does this cost!" They were all in large denominations.
Chen Ke picked up a pile of houhou, nodded and said: "One hundred and ten pieces, a total of... one hundred pieces."
"How much is that?" Song Duanping said dumbfounded: "One million strings?"
This is definitely a huge sum of money. You must know that Chen Ke used all kinds of epoch-making knowledge and worked hard for ten years in Sichuan to save a family fortune of 100,000 guan... He originally brought 60,000 guan to Beijing to save it.
At that time, all the brothers were dispatched to escort him. At that time, I felt that it was an incredible huge sum of money.
This is a whole million strings! The number is so astonishing that the three young people quickly turned from ecstasy to nervousness.
"Could it be that those people are also looking for this money?" Song Duanping suddenly said this, obviously it is very possible...
If this money is really the goal, those people will do anything!
"..." At this time, Wulang usually remained silent and listened to his brothers.
"Who could it be? Song Duanping said in a deep voice.
"The remnants of Wuyou Cave?" Chen Ke asked.
"It is very possible that the Imperial City Division has been protecting us before." Song Duanping speculated: "They dare not act rashly. The people from the Imperial City Division just withdrew yesterday, and today they are targeting you."
"Are they following you two?"
"No." Song Duanping shook his head and said, "The two of us deliberately did it as a hindsight and found no one." He paused and said, "They probably don't know about this place yet. It seems that the big dragon head's confidentiality work is in place."
"It can't be kept secret for long." Chen Ke said solemnly: "Just ask about the economy and you can find it here."
"What should I do?" Song Duanping threw his worries to Chen Ke.
"We are asking for trouble this time. But that's it, even if we bury this box, it won't work." Chen Ke laughed at himself and said, "I have no choice but to play with them."
"I'm afraid this winter will be too dull." Song Duanping said with a smile.
Wulang also grinned. If they raided the den of thieves in Wuyou Cave, they would not be afraid of the remnants of the beggar gang.
"Let's leave quickly before they notice?" Song Duanping said.
"We can't hide. The more we hide, the more guilty we look." Chen Ke said decisively: "Since they haven't figured out our intentions, let them continue to be confused!" He smiled at the two brothers and said, "Didn't we buy a house?
?What should we do next?”
“Renovation…”
"Yes, Lao Song, you go find five or six manpower. Let's start the work today." Chen Ke ordered: "Lao Wu and I are here. Restore the scene to its original state."
"It's up to you." Song Duanping nodded, looked at the box and said, "What should I do with this?"
"Put it away first and take it back when it gets dark..." Chen Ke said with a squinted smile: "This is our reward for destroying Wuyou Cave!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Restoring the site is very simple. Just fill the toilet pit, pour the flushed mud back into each house, and then spread it flat. After half a day at most, you won't notice any abnormalities.
The Chen Ke brothers were quick with their hands and feet. After taking care of their hands and feet, they went back to their yard and sat for a long time. Then Song Duanping came to the house with a group of day laborers. The hired workers had already been informed and started cleaning up in full swing after entering the house.
Song Duanping sat next to Chen Ke and asked in a low voice: "No one is here, right?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "It's more stupid than expected."
It wasn't until after lunch that he noticed someone poking his head. Chen Ke had sharp eyes and asked, "Who is the neighbor at the door?"
The man didn't expect that he would ask this question so abruptly, and quickly turned back. Seeing that Chen Ke didn't say anything, he stretched his hand back again and said with a smile on his face: "Is there a new owner of this household?"
"Yes, I haven't greeted my neighbor yet. I'd be disrespectful." Chen Ke smiled and walked towards the door. What neighbor? He was clearly one of the two people following him.
"This family has suffered a lot." The man sang, looking inside and asked, "Why did you buy such a house?"
"It's cheap." Chen Ke said with a smile: "The house prices in Bianjing City are too expensive. It's rare that they are so cheap. Even if we buy it and rebuild it, it's still a good deal."
"Oh. Officials are very calculating." The man couldn't help but believe it.
"There is no place to get involved in the house today, so I won't invite Gao Lin in." Chen Ke cupped his fists and said, "You haven't asked where Gao Lin lives yet? We might as well pay him a visit."
"I'll live in front." The man was nervous for a moment and said with a dry smile: "The house is also in a mess, so I'd better clean it up and come back to invite the officials."
"That's fine, too."
"I won't disturb the officials anymore. I have to find some manpower." The man was afraid of revealing his secrets by talking too much, so he clasped his fists at him and hurried away.
Looking at his leaving figure, Chen Ke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The alarm was mostly lifted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The spy walked out of the alley, and his companion asked anxiously: "How is it?"
"We are demolishing old stuff there, working in full swing." The spy wiped his sweat and said, "The guy named Chen is so enthusiastic that he really thinks of me as a neighbor."
"Didn't he dump us in the first place?"
"I guess not. Maybe we didn't follow closely enough and lost track of him." The spy said, "Look at those long legs, how fast they walk down the aisle."
"Maybe." My companion suppressed his doubts and said to himself that this would be the best.
"You continue to stare, I'll go back and report a message." The spy said: "We must reconcile the confession, not to mention that we have lost him."
"Don't tell me." My companion didn't want to get into trouble, so he said, "Just don't let anything slip."
"Worry about yourself." The spy said, and left in a hurry. He traveled through most of the capital, and after going around in a few circles to make sure that there was no tail, he walked into a deep courtyard.
After waiting for a long time, the housekeeper asked him to change his shoes and clothes and enter the inner house. The spy lowered his head and did not dare to look around. However, he could see the layers of silk curtains under his feet and smell all kinds of luxurious aromas.
.I don’t know how many doors he passed before the housekeeper told him to stop and went in to report.
As a spy, he took a peek and saw the jewels and treasures in front of him, which were extremely gorgeous. He heard the sound of silk and bamboo and the singing of birds and birds inside, which made people feel very itchy. He couldn't describe how good it was, he just felt
The place where the old emperor lives is nothing more than this.
After waiting for a while, the housekeeper asked him to come in.
When the spies went in, Silk Music had stopped, and they saw a young man with a face like a crown of jade and a slightly hooked nose. He was wearing a flowing silk robe and a tie around his waist. He had black hair shawl and was not wearing it.
He was wearing no hat and no headscarf, his legs were stretched out in the arms of a beautiful woman, and his body was leaning on the soft couch. Behind him, there was an almost naked beauty who was gently beating his back.
"This is master."
Without the butler's introduction, the spy was already deeply aware of his humbleness. He bowed deeply and saluted, his forehead almost touching the ground: "Greetings to the master."
"This is the first time I've been keeping tabs on you today, so I didn't let the killer find out." The young man's voice was lazy, but full of the majesty of a superior.
"No," the spy quickly shook his head and said, "We are being careful."
"What did you find?"
The spy then told Chen Ke about buying a house, demolishing it, and preparing to build a house. At the end, he handed over a booklet, which turned out to be the real estate registration book of the agent.
The housekeeper presented it, the young man looked at the dirty book, frowned slightly, and then the maid held it and looked through it for him.
Turning to the latest page and column, I saw Chen Ke's name and the address of the property - Donkey Tail Lane.
"There are places like this in Bianjing City?" The young man was born and raised here, but he had never heard of Donkey Tail Alley.
"Yes, it's near the bridge. It's very remote." The spy reported back, "It's surrounded by poor houses. It took a lot of effort to find it."
"Where are you going to buy a house?" The young man pondered and said, "I remember, then Sha is a rich man, right?"
"Yes, people who went to Shuzhong came back and said." The spy said softly: "Many new rich people in Shuzhong are thanks to him. Naturally, he is also very rich. It is said that before going to Beijing, he cashed out his shares and cashed out six
Seventy thousand dollars in cash."
"If you have a net worth of 10,000 yuan, you are considered rich, let alone 60,000 to 70,000 yuan." The young man frowned and said, "Such a rich man goes to the slums to buy such a shabby house. What on earth does he want to do?"
"The villain also asked him. He said that the houses there are extremely cheap now," the spy said, "Maybe he wants to buy low and sell high."
"Just a house. How much can he earn by buying low and selling high? Thirty guan or fifty guan?" The young man laughed and said, "Don't tell me, this is how he got his tens of thousands of dollars."
This was something that the spy could not answer. The young man asked him to reward him with a large amount of money until he left. The young man said to the housekeeper: "The old man's intuition is very accurate. He said that our money must come from the murderer.
I can't be careless." He then ordered: "Let someone search it tonight and see what they can find out."
"Yes." The housekeeper agreed softly, and said with concern: "Although the people from the Imperial City Department have withdrawn, there is no guarantee that there will still be secret sentries watching him. If we go too far, we may be exposed."
"Then what can be done?" The young man said with a gloomy look on his face: "If I don't get this money back in one day, I won't be able to go back to my house!" He kicked a beautiful woman away angrily and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the emperor looks at him
, I also want to play him to death, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
