Unscrupulous Concubine Evil Lord
Chapter 263 The Inner Ghost
Peach Blossom Tribulation.
Fate commits peach blossoms, but the ending may be to die alone.Yuan Bao is such a good person, how could he suffer such a fate?
No matter how much Xia Chuyi thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, but her last thoughts slowly drifted to herself.
It's not that she doesn't know what he's thinking, but for such a good man, she really doesn't want to say something clearly.
She cared so much about them, Yuan Bao, Feng Luo, Chang Huan... They all gradually became important people in her life, so no matter who they were, she didn't want to lose them.
But, could Yuan Bao's catastrophe be because of her?
There was a pimple in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable even if she moved, as if someone had stabbed her softest place with a knife.
Next to her, Chang Huan held her hand a little harder, and looked down at her, his eyes were light and gentle as water.
After all, Feng Luo didn't say the words he wanted to comfort Xia Chuyi, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chang Huan's eyes, and a strange look flashed across them.
"It's so long, I'm fine." Xia Chuyi felt that the hand holding her was stronger, and he could even see how nervous the tall and innocent man was.She couldn't help smiling at him, and reached out to pat the back of his hand.
Chang Huan's smoky eyes flickered for a moment, and then he loosened the strength in his hand.
Looking at the lights in the distance, Xia Chuyi felt as if there were countless loneliness locked in the deep boudoir.
No wonder Yuan Bao wanted to move out, no wonder Yuan Bao didn't let them come to the City Lord's Mansion, no wonder Yuan Bao tried every means to hide it from her...
In fact, some things are more depressing to know than not to know.
Xia Chuyi got an answer that she didn't want to get, and she was depressed. She was about to take Chang Huan and Feng Luo to retreat, but was stopped by Mr. Jin all of a sudden.
"Xia Yushi, can you do me a favor."
Xia Yushi...
This is her official business status, and she really didn't plan to use this status on the way except in Cangzhou and Liuzhou.
Now when she suddenly heard Mr. Jin call her that, she became terrified, and she felt a little clear in her heart.
This is something to talk to her about.
Turning her head, she looked at Mr. Jin and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Jin?"
"Please also ask Xia Yushi to move to the study."
Mr. Jin personally made a gesture of invitation, and his determined expression immediately made Xia Chuyi understand that maybe the matter between her and Jin Yuanbao is not the focus of tonight, and what he said next is the real reason for him to lure her here. Purpose!
She didn't hesitate, and strode along.
Seeing Mr. Jin looking at Chang Huan and Feng Luo, she couldn't help waving her hands: "They all know about me, don't worry, Mr. Jin, they are not that kind of people."
Only then did Mr. Jin silently nod his head, and for a moment he stopped his previous smile and steady steps, and instantly became awe-inspiring.
Xia Chuyi followed behind and thought, everyone said that Jin Yuanbao's business talent is the best in the world, but actually think about it, if there is no strong pusher behind him, no matter how great his talent is, he will not be able to display it so easily.
Such a shrewd and experienced Mr. Jin, is there anything he can't solve that has to be done by her?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Mr. Jin say "Here we are". As soon as the four of them entered, the door of the study was immediately shut, and no one else was present.
As soon as Xia Chu saw the situation, he didn't dare to relax, so he waited for Mr. Jin to speak.
Mr. Jin didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Xia Yushi, I lost one of my account books, can you help me find it?"
"Looking for the ledger?" Xia Chu opened and opened his eyes lightly.
Mr. Jin nodded: "Xia Yushi can even solve the haunting incident. I believe it will not be difficult for you to find a ledger. I dare not tell my baby about it, so I can only beg you in private."
No, a haunted incident is a haunted incident, and looking for the ledger is looking for the ledger, are these two different things?Who said that if you can catch ghosts, you can look for ledgers?
Xia Chuyi didn't understand Mr. Jin's thinking, and when he heard that he couldn't tell Yuan Bao about it, he immediately raised his mind: "What kind of account book is this?"
Mr. Jin sighed suddenly: "It's an old account book from more than 20 years ago. Who didn't do some stupid things when they were young? I have done so many good things over the years, isn't it just to redeem the things I committed when I was young? Well, but if that account book falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it will cost the entire Jin family their lives!"
The ledger that will kill people, the bastard thing when I was young...
Xia Chuyi squinted his eyes suddenly: "Is it a black account?"
Mr. Jin raised his eyes to look at her, and then nodded helplessly: "It was really desperate back then, so he gathered a group of people to rob a batch of gold delivered by the imperial court, and then started to make a fortune with that little capital."
"Huh?" Xia Chuyi looked in disbelief.
With Mr. Jin's body shape, he still went to grab gold from the imperial court?Is the gold of the imperial court so easy to grab?
"But we didn't hurt anyone. We just used some tricks to stun them all. And we left some gold for them. When they wake up, they can take the gold and hide in an unknown place to live .”
It can be seen that Mr. Jin and the others have indeed considered enough, but they don't want to harm others, and they will eventually harm some people.
The world is so big, could it be that the king's land, those officials and family members who escorted the gold, would not be let off so easily.
Mr. Jin also seemed to be very regretful, and said in a low voice: "Later, I searched everywhere for the family members of those officers and soldiers back then. If I could find someone who could take care of them, I tried my best to take care of them."
Xia Chuyi didn't comment on what happened back then. Mr. Jin and the others were going to rob the court rather than ordinary people, so it can be seen that they tried their best to avoid harming others.
Moreover, who is living well and has not been cornered, and would do such a thing?
Xia Chuyi flipped through those things, and asked directly: "Where did you put that ledger, who knows?"
Mr. Jin immediately walked into the inner room of the study, and then pulled the bookshelves layer by layer, and finally opened a secret compartment in a very inconspicuous corner.
The secret compartment is only the size of a palm. If you don't know that the things are placed here, you may have to turn the entire study room upside down, and it will be impossible to find it.
"I've always kept the ledger here, and no one knows about it except me. How can I tell people about this kind of thing."
Old man Jin looked at the empty dark compartment and couldn't help sighing again.
This time Jin Yuanbao had to go back to Jincheng, because he wanted to see him for the last time.If something really happened to him because of that ledger, he would have gone without any regrets.
What has been committed will eventually have to be paid back.
Xia Chuyi checked the hidden compartment carefully, and thought that if fingerprints could be collected in this age, it would be much easier to deal with.
Unfortunately, the conditions are limited.
She shook her head and sighed, thinking that she could only rely on her unparalleled mind to find the person who stole the account book.
Mr. Jin looked at her shaking his head, and was startled: "Is there no way to find it?"
Xia Chuyi smiled, and said, "It's too early to draw conclusions, anyway, I have to try, right?"
"There is Lao Xia Yushi." Mr. Jin cupped his hands at Xia Chuyi, and she quickly helped him up.
She asked Chang Huan and Feng Luo to remove all the books around them, and while checking the surroundings for clues, she asked, "Old man, how long have you lost this ledger?"
"It's been more than half a month."
"More than half a month?" Xia Chuyi's hand holding the book froze, and he turned his head to look at Mr. Jin in a strange way, "Didn't you receive any threatening messages?"
Mr. Jin shook his head, and also looked like he couldn't figure it out: "It must be something for the Jin family to make people go to great lengths to dig out my old affairs. I wonder why no one has taken it for so long. That ledger was threatening me."
Xia Chuyi propped his chin with one hand, and thought for a while with his eyes downcast: "There are two possibilities, one is that it's not in time, and the other is that the person who stole the account book has no chance to hand over the account book."
"No chance?" Mr. Jin is also smart, he can see right through, and suddenly the light in his eyes flashed, "It's the ghost!"
Their Jincheng is a big commercial city, and the wealth accumulated in this city is as rich as an enemy.So the most indispensable thing here, apart from money, are all kinds of bodyguards that exist like shadows.
In the entire city lord's mansion, there are countless clear and dark sentries, and there are agencies in many places, and strict records must be kept for entering and exiting.
Even Xia Chuyi and the others, who were so elusive and elusive, came here for a while, and they were almost taken aback, let alone the others.
Xia Chuyi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "The possibility of being an inner ghost is indeed quite high. The place where you put the ledger like the old man, apart from seeing it with your own eyes, the possibility that you can find it is that the person took the whole study It’s not something that can be accomplished overnight.”
Thinking about it, she asked Feng Luo and Chang Huan to move a cabinet, and walked to the back with the oil lamp in one hand.
There was no way to clean it, and a thick layer of dust covered the finger-wide gap, and in the middle, a not-so-obvious fingerprint caught everyone's eyes, and it was already covered with a layer of dust.
"Sure enough, and it looks like that person has been looking for the account book for a long time, and he has been in the city lord's mansion for a long time."
As soon as Xia Chu walked out with the oil lamp in his hand, he saw Mr. Jin's serious face, clearly in deep thought.
"Did the old man think of anyone?"
Mr. Jin shook his head: "It's scary because I didn't expect it. I let a spy stay in the city lord's mansion for so long. Xia Yushi, do you have any way to find that person?"
Xia Chuyi didn't dare to give an affirmative answer, and the only thing he could say in the end was a faint sentence: "Try it."
Fate commits peach blossoms, but the ending may be to die alone.Yuan Bao is such a good person, how could he suffer such a fate?
No matter how much Xia Chuyi thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, but her last thoughts slowly drifted to herself.
It's not that she doesn't know what he's thinking, but for such a good man, she really doesn't want to say something clearly.
