The woman in black gave her a blank look and said disapprovingly: "Of course I have searched, but it is unlikely that it is up there, and the furniture is also simple. It is a lounge, a piano room, and a chess room. There are no secret rooms on the walls and floors. If there is , and are easy to find.”
After all, the pavilion is not grounded. The thickness of the walls and floors is limited, so it is easy to find it
Lu Xiaoshu sneered, and said, "I believe you know better than me how cunning this Second Master Jiang is. Maybe the mechanism that controls the secret room downstairs is upstairs! When you searched upstairs, you didn't find anything unusual?"
The woman in black was stunned for a moment, and said "impossible" unconvinced, but couldn't help muttering inwardly, is it really like what she said
With the suspicion and suspicion and exquisite thoughts of the second master of the Jiang family, it is indeed not impossible to do this.
Lu Xiaoshu said: "I'll look for it below, you go up and have a look!"
The woman in black looked at her seriously, then finally nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll go up and have a look!"
Seeing her go upstairs, Lu Xiaoshu continued to search downstairs.
When he came to the small pavilion in the inner room, he raised his head subconsciously, just in time to see the painting she had made a few days ago hanging on the wall, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurried forward to reach out to pick the painting.
Anyway, it was impossible for her things to stay in this loathsome house.
With the thought that she couldn't keep it safe, she didn't care about being cautious anymore, so she simply took down the scroll and put it up neatly.
Just as she was about to take out the painting and hide it secretly so as not to hide it from the eyes of the woman in black, she didn't want her feet suddenly to be empty, she let out a low cry of "Ah!", and instantly fell down, falling into a deep trap middle…
Lu Xiaoshu woke up faintly, not knowing that his mind was still a little heavy and his body was a little sore. She rubbed her waist, arms and legs, struggled to get up from the ground, and looked around, feeling a chill in her heart.
This is obviously a secret room. If it is just a mechanism controlled by a painting, I can’t hide it from the woman in black. She must have moved something upstairs. It just so happened that she moved the painting below.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help complaining secretly: Since meeting this woman, she has never been unlucky! Now it's all right, and it fell to this broken place again.
The secret room was huge, as if there was still a passage leading to the front, and there was an oil lamp burning on the wall, emitting a faint yellow light, which only slightly eased her fear.
She tried to search the secret room for a mechanism to get out, but found nothing.
She didn't give up, so she walked forward along the passage. The passage was not long, and at the end was a quietly closed door. Enduring her pounding heart, she gently pushed the door open and entered, feeling startled.
This is another secret room, which is different from the previous empty room. There are sixteen and a half people tall and huge wooden boxes neatly placed here, with a pair of large black iron locks hanging on it.
Lu Xiaoshu suppressed the curiosity in her heart, stepped forward and patted the box, the dust on the box was flying lightly, she couldn't help but sneezed and slapped her nose, and fiddled with the big iron that was as big as her palm in boredom. Lock, sighed softly.
I don't even know what's in those boxes! Could this be what the woman in black was looking for? Is it a treasure
She accidentally noticed that the big iron lock seemed to be a little loose, and felt a little excitement for no reason, so she took the iron lock and looked carefully.
Presumably the owner of the box was worried that the key would get rusted and it would be inconvenient to open after a long time, so the iron lock on the box was just hanging on it, not locked.
Lu Xiaoshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the box, only to see that the box was full of all kinds of jade vases, packed very tightly, with a soft and delicate luster, which made one's heart skip a beat just by looking at it. She stretched out her hand and flicked a lotus-shaped jade bowl lightly.
There are no less than fifty or sixty pieces of jade wares in this big box. I don't know how much it is worth!
With her heart pounding, she carefully closed the box, thought for a while, and then gently blew the dust on it to cover up the traces of movement, and then opened the other boxes.
After opening seven or eight boxes in a row, Lu Xiaoshu was so tired that he sat on the ground leaning against the boxes, panting, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and the scene he saw just now flashed back and forth in his mind.
Inside these large boxes, there are not porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting stoves, but various jewelry accessories, the first-class Shu embroidered brocade fire raccoon sable fur, and neatly stacked yellow and shiny gold ingots. Blind her eyes!
Needless to say, those jewels, each of those jade and porcelain looks like the best of the best, what a fortune this must be!
After Lu Xiaoshu was excited, his heart turned cold. Such a large amount of wealth, and it was hidden in such a place, obviously did not come from a legitimate source. In other words, this sum of wealth is obviously exclusive to the second master of the Jiang family, and the rest of the Jiang family will definitely not know about it, otherwise he would have been forced to hand it over a long time ago. How could it be so quietly placed in the second master of the Jiang family? Under the study
If these are really the private property of the second master of the Jiang family, then God, even if he is a business genius and has been making money since he was sensible, how much capital will he have to earn
Although Lu Xiaoshu is not an expert, he can also see that many things are not something that you can afford if you have money, and if you can afford it, you may not be lucky enough to buy it, so these things—
She couldn't help trembling. She heard that Master Jiang was abducted by someone since he was a child, and he only returned to Jiang's house seven or eight years ago. Could it be that this Master Jiang was a gangster before he came back? Before you come back, do you want to kill people and steal goods
But even so, it is not easy to accumulate such a huge wealth!
For an ordinary wealthy family, it would be nice to have a few excellent treasures, but Lu Xiaoshu casually flipped through those calligraphy and paintings and celebrity copybooks, all of which were written by the most famous masters in the past dynasties! It is difficult for ordinary people to ask for one. There are also those jewelry, not to mention how exquisite the craftsmanship is, just look at those huge red sapphires, cat's eyes, crystals, huge pearls, large pieces of emeralds and dazzling emerald hairpins, all of which are brilliant and brilliant , Elegant and majestic, not like ordinary people can afford to wear.
Could it be the treasure left by the previous dynasty
Lu Xiaoshu thought wildly for a while, then suddenly sighed in frustration, and secretly mocked himself for being unfounded. He didn't know how long he had been falling, maybe he starved to death here and turned into a zombie before people discovered it! I still have the mind to guess about those messy things!
What is the use of more treasures? Can't fill my stomach!
Lu Xiaoshu was startled immediately, secretly hoping that the woman in black would quickly find out the clues and come down to save her, otherwise, she would really only have a dead end.
The air in the secret room was thin, and after a while, Lu Xiaoshu felt a little drowsy again, leaning against the big wooden box with half-closed eyes.
The sound of eager footsteps came from far and near, and due to the narrow space, the echo reflected by the four walls was extremely clear in his ears. Lu Xiaoshu woke up suddenly, glanced around, and quickly went to the back of the box in the farthest corner Hide, hold down the pounding heart.
She expected that the woman in black would come, but this is the territory of Master Jiang Er after all, who knows who will come
The door was pushed open, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment. The man let out a long breath and murmured: "It's okay, it's okay!"
Lu Xiaoshu's heart went cold when he heard that, where is the woman in black, it is clearly the Second Master Jiang!
Her mind was spinning rapidly, weighing whether she should rush out unpreparedly and control the Second Master Jiang. After controlling him, it is not difficult to go out, but the difficult thing is how should she get out of the house after going out? How to escape his pursuit after leaving the mansion.
She still has Qing Lan with her, Jiang Mansion is no better than that wilderness.
Moreover, she didn't know the depth of Master Jiang Er, whether he knew kung fu? If he was stronger than her and fell into his hands, then he would be dead!
Lu Xiaoshu immediately hesitated again.
Before she finished hesitating, Master Jiang Er saw that there was no movement in the secret room, not even interested in checking the box, so he turned around and closed the door and went out.
Lu Xiaoshu groaned secretly, wanting to pound the ground in a hurry!
She hurriedly got up, catching up with her footsteps lightly, and when she cautiously opened the door little by little, the sound of Master Jiang Er's footsteps had gone away, and his figure had disappeared into the secret room ahead.
Because of the huge echo and the straight passage without any obstruction, Lu Xiaoshu didn't dare to chase after him at all, and could only watch him leave helplessly.
After a dull sound of the opening of the mechanism, Lu Xiaoshu rushed forward, and the previous emptiness and tranquility returned to the secret room, gloomy, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Xiaoshu stood there blankly, wanting to cry without tears!
Master Jiang Er must have noticed that the painting was missing, so he came down to check. Now that he has discovered something is wrong, the security of the study will be strict, that is to say, at least before the old lady's birthday banquet is activated by him, the woman in black will not have the opportunity to enter the study for interrogation. In this case, what should she do
At least, before the old lady's birthday, Master Jiang Er probably won't come down again. And whether he will come after the old lady's birthday is still unknown...
Lu Xiaoshu silently calculated, three days, the old lady's birthday, three days later...
She tried her best to suppress the feeling of coldness in her heart, gritted her teeth, and searched carefully back and forth in this underground secret room and passage, hoping to find the mechanism to get out.
Looking back and forth with eyes as big as copper bells, Lu Xiaoshu was exhausted and had to give up in the end.
Useless!
Rather than scrambling around like headless chickens, it is better to save your energy and wait for the judgment of fate.
Lu Xiaoshu sighed helplessly, and honestly went back to the secret room full of big boxes, sat on the ground leaning against a big box, blinked, and couldn't help getting wet.
