"That's right." The boss nodded. Young Master had recognized a famous sword and a good dagger in the shop just now. He must be someone who knew about weapons. In addition, the sword hanging on Young Master's waist is even rarer. It's not a loss for me to be lucky enough to see it here today.”
"Thank you, Boss." Qi Lu did not decline. He put away the dagger and placed it in the brocade box that the boss handed over.
The two of them thanked each other again and didn't go anywhere else. They left the house and walked toward the original street.
"You've really profited this time." Ye Meng took out his dagger and looked at it carefully. She felt that this dagger was a rare treasure.
"This is for you." Qi Lu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. He lowered his eyes, and his eyes were like a ball of ink that could not be dispersed.
"What? Give it to me?" Ye Meng turned her head away from him and pretended to laugh." Why are you giving me such an expensive thing?"”
"With it in hand, your safety will be guaranteed.”Qi Lu said. The deep look in his eyes had become clear, as if the person Ye Meng saw just now was another person.
"Thank you then." Ye Meng put away the dagger in her hand, her eyes shining as if she really liked this gift. However, he added,"It's good to have you as a friend."”
Qi Lu immediately cut off all the ambiguous relations. Of course, this was only what he thought.
"Oh, right." After walking for a while, Ye Meng suddenly thought of something and stopped." Now you have to accompany me to a place."”
"Where to?" Qi Lu asked reflexively.
"West Street."
As they spoke, the two of them headed toward the fork on the right. The West Street was different from the other streets. It could be said to be the wealthiest street in the entire Ningzhou Province.
Most of the people here were rich or powerful. Although there weren't many peddlers here, the antique houses and Qi Zhen Pavilions on both sides of the street were more dazzling than the previous one, and all of them were high-grade goods.
Ye Meng followed the name of the place on the folder and stopped in front of a house with Qi Lu. The house looked a little old. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.
This road was also relatively deserted, with only a few people passing by occasionally.
"Big Brother, may I ask if this house belonged to the Lu family?”Ye Meng stopped a middle-aged man who was slightly older and might have some impression of the case. The middle-aged man glanced at her, his eyes filled with sizing and confusion.
"Big brother, we are just curious. We don't have any other intentions.”Ye Meng quickly explained, considering that the people here might be more suspicious.
The middle-aged man looked at the two of them and felt that their eyes were clear. They did not seem to have any ill intentions, so he nodded. Then, he said,"Girl, curiosity killed the cat."”Then, he turned around and left.
"Curiosity killed the cat?" Qi Lu kept repeating what that person said, not quite understanding what he meant.
"He probably wants us to mind our own business.”Ye Meng looked at the man's back as he left, and a smug smile appeared on her face. She thought to herself, I'll just have to take care of this.”
At this moment, there were some strange movements coming from the house next door. It felt like someone was repeatedly muttering something. His voice was trembling as if he was afraid of something.
After a while, the voice got closer and closer. The door of the house next door was pushed open. A thin middle-aged man ran out from inside. As he ran, he held his head and shouted," It's not me. It's not me." Don't come looking for me."
It made the people around him feel very scared.
The man suddenly rushed toward Ye Meng and Qi Lu. Just as he was about to dodge, he grabbed Ye Meng's shoulder and started jumping around her. He looked terrified as if Ye Meng was some kind of scary thing. Then, he looked wronged and kept telling him," It's none of my business."”
Seeing this, Qi Lu grabbed his shoulder and threw him backward. The man fell to the ground. She smiled foolishly in the direction of the two of them.
"Madman." Qi Lu cursed softly.
Ye Meng pushed him away and walked to the middle-aged man." What's not your business?" she asked softly.”
"It's none of my business." Hearing Ye Meng's question, the middle-aged man sitting on the ground shook his head and replied.
"Oh, then who should it be about?”Ye Meng continued to ask.
" I don't know. It wasn't me, it wasn't me…" That person started mumbling again. Ye Meng saw that he was a little crazy and knew that she wouldn't be able to get any valuable information from him.
Just as he was about to get up to visit the people in the neighboring courtyard, he saw a figure run out from inside. It turned out to be an old nanny. When she saw the middle-aged man sitting on the ground, Jian Guang went forward to help him up and carefully checked if there were any injuries on his body.
After tidying up, she looked at Ye Meng and said apologetically,"I hope I didn't scare you." Our boss has been crazy for some time. Please don't take offense."
"May I ask when your boss went crazy?”Ye Meng pointed at the person and asked.
" Miss, this is..." The old lady looked at Ye Meng hesitantly. She didn't know why Ye Meng wanted to know about this, so she immediately became more guarded against the two of them.
"Um, granny, you don't have to be so nervous.”Ye Meng could tell that she was on guard from her tightly knitted brows and clenched hands. She thought that she might not have expressed herself well, so she quickly made up an excuse." What I mean is that I have also learned some medical skills. I think if the boss's madness is still within my control, I should be able to cure him."”
"Is that true?" As expected, the old granny had already let down all her defenses and asked excitedly.
In fact, she had already invited many doctors and famous doctors to see her, but every time, there was no effect at all. Thinking of this, her originally hopeful eyes dimmed a little. What could such a young girl do?
"Why isn't granny willing to give it a try?”Ye Meng saw the disappointment in her eyes and quickly asked. He hoped that he could use this opportunity to enter this big house and learn more about the Lu family's case.
"Come with me." After hearing her words, the old nanny decided to try again at noon. Anyway, the boss was already like this. The worst outcome would be to continue to maintain this appearance.
Seeing that she had agreed, Ye Meng quickly asked Qi Lu to help the boss into the manor. When she entered the mansion, Ye Meng noticed a big 'Shen' character on the plaque hanging above the gate.
After tidying up everything, the granny invited the two of them to sit down and drink a cup of tea.
Ye Meng looked at the old granny who was very worried about the boss. She asked curiously," Excuse me, granny. Are you and the boss mother and son?"”
"No, no." The old nanny quickly waved her hand and denied," I'm just a nanny. I watched him grow up. Naturally, there are feelings too."
" Then Boss Shen's parents are…" She did not finish her sentence and waited for the old nanny to continue.
"Old Master and Furen unfortunately died of an illness many years ago.”As she spoke, the old nanny sighed slightly in her heart. In the blink of an eye, so much time had passed.
"Then why is Boss Shen crazy?”Ye Meng asked. She believed that there must be a reason for this. Otherwise, with Boss Shen's ability to open such a big honey shop, he would not be willing to go crazy.
"We have to talk about the eldest daughter of the neighboring Lu residence, Miss Lu Yin.”The old lady sighed and continued.
Then, he recounted the situation in detail. It turned out that the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master of the Shen family were both interested in this Eldest Young Miss of the Lu family, and the Lu family had not been able to choose who to be their son-in-law.
Later on, it even caused the two brothers to become more and more hostile. Until one day, a pile of ants crawled on the gates of the Lu and Shen families. From a distance, it looked like the word "death".
The two families didn't take it seriously before. They thought that someone was bored and was playing a prank. He sent people to clean up these ants.
However, on the second day, the situation before the doors of the two families appeared again. There was still a large group of ants stuck at the door, and there was still a big "die" word.
At this moment, a strangely-dressed old woman ran over and took a closer look. Then, she turned pale with fright and said with a terrified expression,"Not good, not good."”
When the Second Young Master, who was standing outside, heard this, he couldn't help but laugh." Old woman, what do you mean by not good? What's not good?"”
"I can't tell you the secrets of heaven, but this matter is really serious. I'll make an exception and tell you. "There must be one person in each of these two manors who wants to…" The old woman did not directly say the word "die" at that time. She only pointed at the sky vaguely, and the people beside her understood what she meant.
However, the Second Young Master did not think much of it at that time. He thought that it was just a swindler in the Jianghu who swindled and swindled to make a living. He hired a family to send some silver to the old woman and no longer thought about it.
"Sigh, if the heavens want you to die in the third watch, who can live until the fifth watch?”The old woman saw his incredulous expression and only sighed slightly, shook her head, and turned to leave.
When the people from the Lu family heard about this, they were extremely nervous because their business had been getting worse and worse recently. There were always some accidents. In their eyes, this might be a sign of God's punishment.
After all, for a businessman to be able to achieve such a big business like his family, he either relied on word of mouth or relied on power to reach the sky in a single step. The other type would use unscrupulous means to step on others 'heads and climb up the internet step by step.
However, the Lu Residence belonged to the latter, so people who had done too many bad things would inevitably have evil thoughts in their hearts.
Therefore, he was still worried and afraid about this matter.
The ants on the door also appeared once in a while. It made the people in their residence panic, afraid that the person cursed would be them.
Until one night, the Eldest Young Master of the Shen residence saw his Second Younger Brother and Eldest Young Miss Lu lying in the Second Young Master's room.
Only then did everyone believe the prophecy. After that, there were no more strange things like ants sticking to the door. This became a magical story in the mouths of the people in this area.
However, Eldest Young Miss Lu and Second Young Master Shen did not have a normal birthday after all, so the government sent people to investigate the general process of the matter.
At that time, the Eldest Young Master was so scared that he was delirious and blamed himself. He said that he should be the one who deserved to die in the Shen family. He was the one who harmed his second brother. From then on, he never woke up.
