Rudonghai

Chapter 185 Execution
Ji Jiaqian hurriedly ordered Liusu to prepare hot water and bring it over, she got up and said, "Ran Lang wash up quickly, I won't bother you. I just searched the kitchen, and in the end I didn't even look at the firewood room."

She was puzzled again: "The boy who usually follows you, why is it missing? Didn't he follow Ran Lang to the kitchen just now, could it be that he ordered hot water to be brought over?"

"I asked him to go out to run errands. There are only one or two people around me." Ji Keran said it lightly and vaguely, and Ji Jiaqian didn't suspect it.

When the hot water arrived, she left first.

Ji Keran soaked in the hot water, dismissed the waiters, squinted his eyes and thought about how to sell the rest of the treasure house, and what he needed to prepare.

His time is running out, and he has to take advantage of An Guohou to be still alive, and use the banner of his grandfather to worry about the old department, otherwise he will be a junior after all, without such a big appeal, it will be half the effort.

After soaking for less than half an hour, when Ji Keran was getting ready, he suddenly felt a sharp object poking his back vest, and he didn't dare to move: "Brother, we have no grudges, why should we do this? , there is a brocade box on the couch, there are many bank notes in it, you can take them as you like."

The visitor smiled lightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Ji is generous, don't you think it's a pity to give the banknote you just got so easily to me?"

Hearing this, Ji Keran almost broke out in cold sweat.He had just come out of the secret passage, and it stands to reason that all the servants nearby were dismissed, and the only servant who knew clearly died again, how did this person find out?
Or is it that this person has been following behind him, hiding in the dark, so he didn't notice?
If so, the man knows too much.

"What is Master Ji thinking, thinking how to get rid of me silently, just like that foolish and loyal boy?" The visitor smiled again, but his tone was a little cold: "Such a loyal boy, my lord It can be seen that apart from yourself, you don’t trust anyone else at all. But this has nothing to do with me, it’s just that the person I hate the most is a villain like you. One thing on the surface, another thing on the back. Looks like a modest gentleman , but behind his back he is a very villain."

After all, the sharp knife on the back of the vest was taken away. Before Ji Keran could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a pain in his left hand, and the joint was removed by this man with his bare hands. The painful pain made his whole face turn pale for a while.

Ji Keran supported his left hand that was limply drooping by his side, and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Forgive me, strong man, here is a box of night pearls, the pearls of the South China Sea, if the hero likes it, just take it."

"Master Ji is really generous, but I'm not very interested in these things. My lord has got so many good things, but I only give away these two easily. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" The man smiled darkly, The sharp knife pointed at his back vest again.

Hearing this, Ji Keran gritted his teeth, this man was clearly taking advantage of the fire.

Blame him for his carelessness, and he was afraid that people would know that there was an entrance to the secret passage under the bed, so he simply drove them away, and the guards only waited outside the courtyard.

Who would have expected that someone would be so bold and follow him all the time, and come out to make trouble at this time?
He was taking a bath, and he didn't even have a self-defense dagger at hand, and the long sword was placed on the table a few feet away, giving this thief a chance!

If he had a long sword in his hand, Ji Keran wouldn't be so passive!
"What is the man's plan, you might as well just tell me." He also calmed down. If the man only wanted money, then it would be easy to handle. At worst, for the sake of his own life, he would allocate some of them and send them away anyway.

As for the thief's life to squander these things, that's another matter.

The man was really looking for money, so he said casually: "I want half of the things, you and I are half of the things, sir, do you have any objections?"

It's really a lion with its mouth wide open, and half of the treasure is demanded with one mouth!

Ji Keran felt that the sharp knife behind him was pushed forward again, and his skin and flesh could already feel the coolness and sharp protrusion of the sharp knife. It seemed that if he tried harder, he would be pierced through, so he had to temporarily compromise: "It looks like a good man I came prepared, so what can I do other than admit defeat? At this time, my life is in the hands of the hero, and it seems that I have no room to refuse."

"Master Ji is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and I like to talk to smart people. In half, I will give you a head, and I will dispose of the body of the servant for you, so you don't have to do it yourself, how about it?" The man quickly withdrew the sharp knife, just Still not taking half a step back, Ji Keran didn't dare to act rashly.

"Okay, then thank the hero first." He was not sure how long this person had followed him, pointing outside and said: "The entrance is in the kitchen, and the hero can go directly. There should be no one in the kitchen at this time, and the entrance is at the entrance." Under three stoves."

The man sneered: "There is the entrance to the secret passage here, why should I look far away? And if Master Ji orders the guards to surround the kitchen, wouldn't it be impossible for me to escape?"

The only thing is that there are no guards in this yard, Ji Keran can't let them in, and the entrance to the secret passage is seen to be under the bed, which is the safest place.

Ji Keran was thinking a lot, but he didn't expect this thief to know everything!
"Master Ji has a bad stomach, and it seems that I have to use violence to offend you." Before Ji Keran recovered, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and fell down when his eyes darkened.

Before he passed out, he could barely see a vague figure standing in front of him, the person was wearing a pair of black boots, other than that, he couldn't see anything.

When Ji Keran woke up, he found that he was still lying on the ground without moving a step.

There were no other wounds on the body, and there was no sound everywhere. I don't know if the thief has left.

He quickly got up, not caring that his left hand was already swollen, he opened the secret passage under the bed and hurried in.

The brocade boxes on the ground were already piled up on both sides, and there was no shortage of them.

Ji Keran was puzzled, picked up one casually, and found that it was empty!
Unwilling to give up, he picked them up one by one, opened them with one hand, and they were empty again!
One by one, all the brocade boxes were empty, and the thief said he took half of them, obviously he took away all the remaining treasures in the treasury.

Half of it was taken away by someone before, and the thief took the other half as well. Except for the weird boudoir, there is nothing left in the treasure house, except for an empty box all over the place!
Ji Keran sat down on the ground dejectedly, looked around, his eyes were blank, and gradually burst into ferocity.

The man's voice was deliberately lowered, but he can guarantee that if they meet again, Ji Keran will definitely be able to find him.

He left the secret passage, rearranged the bed, found nothing inappropriate, and called the guards in loudly: "A thief came here just now and stole my seal. You check around the village and block all the places. The gate, don't let anyone leave half a step!"

Ji Keran first said that he lost his jade pendant, and now he lost his seal, which is not a small matter.

The guards were all in a cold sweat, they patrolled everywhere today, and they never saw any familiar faces. Who on earth stole the things silently?

However, Ji Keran said that he was knocked out, and he didn't see the thief's face at all, only heard the voice, so he could only gather all the servants and guards in the village, even the groom, one by one. Called to Ji Keran to check carefully.

As long as there is a slight similarity, they will be locked in the firewood room and interrogated alone.

Ji Jiaqian didn't expect that something like this would happen in Ji Keran's yard after leaving for a while, she rushed over and said, "I'm not careful enough, should I ask the Hou Mansion to send more guards over?"

"No need, grandpa is sick. There are too many people who want to spy on them, and the guards of the Hou's mansion can't move." Ji Keran sighed and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. You can come and go in my yard freely. If no one finds out, I suspect that there is an inner ghost. If I find out who it is, I must peel the skin and pull the bones, and I will never make him feel better!"

Holding the long whip tightly, he went straight to the firewood room. There were four or five people locked up here, all of whom were somewhat similar in figure and voice to the thief.

I would rather make a mistake than let any one go!
All the people who were imprisoned looked desperate, especially when they saw the barbs on the long whip that Ji Keran was holding tightly, hitting the flesh and blood of people. Whoever can stand it after some torture will undoubtedly die !

It wasn't until dawn that Ji Keran threw away the long whip that was full of blood and minced meat, but his whole body was clean as new, with only a faint smell of blood surrounding him: "It's tough to deal with all the people inside. Nothing came out."

He was very tired, but he also understood that the few people inside probably didn't have the guts to threaten him. They wasted the night for nothing, but the anger in his heart gave out.

Ji Keran went straight back to the yard to rest, and the boy who cleaned up the mess went into the woodshed tremblingly, but was so scared by the overwhelming blood that his legs went limp and his face was pale.

None of those four or five people was complete, and their deaths were tragic, which showed Ji Keran's cruelty.

The next door was noisy, but Zhuangzi in Xiao's mansion was quiet.

When Xiao Xilin got up near dawn, Gu Yunxiao was still sleeping soundly, holding his arm and not letting go, because it was a bit chilly in the morning, and she kept curling into his arms to keep warm.

He smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to wrap his arms around Gu Yunxiao with one hand, telling her to finally stop moving and fall into a deep sleep. When he looked up again, he saw the bulging bundle handed over by Xiao Yi: "My lord, what is left inside is The subordinates brought everything back."

Xiao Xilin took a casual look, and found that there were not many unusual things, she nodded slightly, and said softly: "The secret room behind the wooden sign is just a boudoir?"

"Master Hui, it is true. This is a boudoir of a noble lady, and everything inside is exquisite. But there is no trace of people living in it. I am afraid that it has just been built, and the other party can only lock it in a hurry and turn the key again." Send it away. It’s a pity that the person who sent the key didn’t know what’s in it, so let’s just let it go.” Xiao Yi deliberately went to the next door for a while, and looked down on Ji Keran.

"Because of what happened last night, Master Ji was furious and privately executed three servants, two guards, and a groom."

"Human life is ignored, besides attacking the weak, who else can he use to vent his anger?" Xiao Xilin sneered, and asked again: "But teach him a little lesson and suffer a little?"
