"You …" Jin Futai felt the world was spinning around him.
Su Rongrong's eyes widened. "All of it? He's too naive. The Jin family's property belongs to Master Jin. It has nothing to do with you. How can you give it to him? "
"Actually …" Zhao Zhuo said embarrassedly. "Father-in-law gave me the key to the treasury when we got married."
Su Rongrong looked at Jin Futai in shock. The latter shouted toward the outside, "Quick, go check the treasury …"
"No need …" Zhao Zhuo said. "I gave him the key on the day of the wedding."
Soon, a servant came to report that the treasury was empty. Treasures worth tens of thousands of soul stones were all taken.
Jin Futai's face turned pale. He sat on the chair and murmured, "It's over. It's all gone …"
Su Rongrong asked Jin Zhu 'er, "You knew?"
"I knew," Jin Zhu 'er said.
"Why?" Su Rongrong asked.
Jin Zhu 'er looked at Zhao Zhuo affectionately. "Actually, Brother Zhuo didn't agree. I insisted on exchanging with him. I love Brother Zhuo. I can do anything for him. "
Su Rongrong's eyes widened. Then he sighed. "It's not just Wuyin. Lust can also make people crazy." She turned to Jin Futai. "Master Jin, the thieves can't take away your shop and land. From today on, although you're no longer the richest man in Jinyang, you're still a rich gentleman. Don't make things difficult for them."
Jin Futai stood up again. He said expressionlessly, "I don't dare to disobey the inspector's order." Then he shouted at Zhao Zhuo and his wife, "You two, get out of here. Get out of here. Don't let me see you again! Get out … "
With tears in her eyes, Jin Zhu 'er knelt down with her husband. They kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times. "Your daughter thanks Daddy for your help!" Then she left with her husband happily.
…
"I felt that Rongrong was in control just now." On the way back, Zhao Ting suddenly said.
Su Rongrong blinked his eyes and grinned. "Am I mature and charming? When the son-in-law sees me, he will praise me to the heavens."
Zhao Ting said expressionlessly, "Yes, yes, yes. Then, I'll reward you with a box of rouge from the Cloud Pavilion."
Su Rongrong's face immediately darkened. He stomped his feet and said, "Young Master is really hateful. He actually used ink powder as rouge. I was mocked for many days because of him!"
Zhao Ting said, "Unfortunately, you've overlooked one thing."
"Oh?" Su Rongrong said.
Zhao Ting said meaningfully, "Maybe this is just a story, a story made up by Zhao Zhuo."
Su Rongrong said with a smile, "I've also considered what Grandpa Zhao said. So, we're going to investigate the truth. If Zhao Zhuo really did lie to me, he won't be able to escape from me in the Southern Phoenix unless he has wings. "
Zhao Ting smiled and said, "So everything is under Rongrong's control."
"Of course," Su Rongrong said proudly.
The two returned to the restaurant and reported the results. Yan Shiyi was also curious about the origin of the mask. Moreover, someone actually used Yan Li's identity to openly swindle people. He also wanted to see how bold this person was.
After that, the three of them went to the Daqing Tea House for five consecutive days, but they still couldn't find the mysterious man. On the sixth day when Su Rongrong was about to lose confidence, the mysterious man appeared.
On the morning of the sixth day, the three of them entered the Daqing Tea House as usual and went their separate ways. Yan Shiyi went to the private room and the other two went to the private room.
He was observing from the lobby on the first and second floors.
Just as Su Rongrong was feeling bored, she suddenly saw a person wrapped in a black robe walk in from the door. Her beautiful eyes immediately widened, "His shape is like a funnel, his eyes have compound pupils, his cheekbones are abnormally wide, his lower jaw is abnormally long, and his earlobes are abnormally large. Young master, young master, this person is just as Zhao Zhuo said, he looks very strange. Quick, catch him! "
The man in the black robe didn't notice Su Rongrong's stare and went straight to the counter.
"Zhao Ting." Yan Shiyi ordered Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting nimbly jumped over the railing on the second floor and jumped in from the window on the first floor like a civet. He grabbed the neck of the man in the black robe like lightning and pressed him against the counter. "Tell me, who ordered you to do this!"
"Stop!" At this moment, the three guests who were sitting by the window on the first floor rushed over.
Zhao Ting was shocked and was about to defend himself, but he heard the man in the black robe let out a muffled groan and the whites of his eyes rolled back. He was dead. He pulled off the mask of the man in the black robe and saw black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"He committed suicide by biting the poison!" Su Rongrong exclaimed.
The three saw this and stopped. One of them said angrily, "Who are you two? Why did you ruin our plan? Don't you know that we've been following this guy for seven days and seven nights? We were about to get a clue, but you guys ruined it! " The one who spoke was wearing a brown shirt with a jade belt around his waist and a jade crown on his head. His face was upright and full of spirit. When he scolded them, it was clear that he had an extraordinary background.
Su Rongrong's voice was crisp and clear, and he didn't want to admit defeat. He said to the man, "I am the inspector of the Southern Phoenix Territory from the Hall of Phoenix. Who are you?"
"Hmph, Dragon Elephant Mountain's Su Xingyu," the man said.
Su Rongrong let out a subtle smile. "Ha! You're that Qian Die something Su Xingyu? You're a disciple of the Dragon Elephant Mountain after all. You have a teacher like that. Are you unreasonable? Do you know that we've been waiting here for six days and six nights to catch him? Now that he killed himself by biting the poison sac, what does that have to do with us? "
"You!" Su Xingyu felt anger rising in him.
"Brother Su, don't do this for the monk's sake. Since Lady Rongrong is here, then Brother Eleventh must be here as well." Among the three, a man with a face as fair as jade and eyes as bright as stars cupped his fists towards the void.
Su Rongrong took a closer look and said in surprise, "So it's Sister Bing Jian!"
Although Liumu Bingjian was disguised as a man, she was still recognized at a glance.
"How unfortunate. He must've put the poison in his teeth because you guys were following him. He ruined my plan. "Yan Shiyi came out of the private room and said unhappily.
Liumu Bingjian smiled disapprovingly and pointed at Su Xingyu. "Brother Eleven, let me introduce you. This is Su Xingyu. I'm sure you all know him." She pointed at another person and said, "This is Liu Letian, Buluo City's Public Order Division's guard. He's currently investigating the case with us. I'm sure the reason why we're following the victim is the same as you, Brother Eleven. It's all because of this. "As she spoke, she took out a relic.
"I have one too!" Su Rongrong exclaimed and took out an identical relic, which was the mask that transformed into Yan Li's appearance.
Liumu Bingjian smiled and nodded. "I'm sure what you guys encountered was the victim's belongings being wiped clean."
"That's right. Sister Bing Jian, what's going on?" Su Rongrong nodded.
Liumu Bingjian said, "It's a long story. I'll have to start from half a year ago. Half a year ago, the Heavenly Policy Tower received news that people from all over the Dragon Emperor's Residences in the human realm reported that a person called Yan Li had cheated them of their belongings. These Yan Li's played different roles. Some were fortune-tellers, some were physiognomists, some were hangers-on, some taught cultivation, and some married into the family … There were too many of them to count.
Only we can't think of it. There's nothing they can't do. As you all know, the relationship between the Dragon Emperor's Residence and the Heavenly Policy Tower has been tense. We couldn't get any useful information from the Dragon Emperor's Residence, so we could only investigate in secret. After our investigation, we found out that some of these people impersonated Brother Yan to gain benefits. Some of them ran away after they were exposed. Those who couldn't escape were poisoned to death just like him. All kinds of phenomena showed that there's a huge group behind this, and their goal is money. The person who made this relic … "She raised the mask in her hand.
"He must be familiar with Brother Yan."
Su Rongrong said excitedly, "What a coincidence, sister. I think so too."
Su Xingyu said coldly, "You're too late."
Su Rongrong was angry. "You sissy, what are you talking about! If you don't believe me, you can ask Grandpa Zhao if I said that before! "
"You dare to scold me?" Su Xingyu frowned. He had been famous in both the human and celestial realms for so many years, but nobody dared to scold him like that.
"Alright, you two, do you still want to listen?" Liumu Bingjian said helplessly.
"Hmph, I'm not going to argue with you." Su Rongrong turned his head away proudly.
Su Xingyu was secretly angry, and tried to persuade himself not to argue with a child.
Liumu Bingjian then continued, "There's only one person that we can think of who is familiar with Brother Yan and is an expert in making masks."
"Gu Haiyuan." Su Xingyu said.
"That's right." Liumu Bingjian frowned. "That's exactly why I can't understand it. After so many years, although Brother Yan isn't in the pugilistic world anymore, his name is still well-known. I can understand that organization using Brother Yan's identity, but why would Haiyuan's father make Brother Yan's mask for such an organization? I suspect that he's sending us some information, and it might be related to Brother Yan. "
"Related to Ah Li?" Yan Shiyi raised his eyebrows.
"Won't we know if we find him and ask him?" Su Rongrong said.
"We were just about to look for him, but you cut off all the clues!" Su Xingyu snapped.
"Who said so?" Su Rongrong's nose twitched slightly, and he narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Some idiots only think that only the living can provide clues, but they don't know that the dead often point to the truth."
"What do you mean?" Su Xingyu frowned.
Su Rongrong said, "This person ate fried rice for breakfast, a traditional food of the fishermen of the Sea Heaven Territory. But many years ago, due to the increase in precipitation, the inland of the Sea Heaven Territory gradually changed to rice, and fried rice has become a thing of the past. Fried rice is dry, and needs to be mixed with milk soup, fish soup, and so on. This person ate fried rice, but only drank water. "
"You can smell that? Do you have a dog's nose?" Su Xingyu was shocked. "Ptui, you're the one with a dog's nose!" Su Rongrong made a face at him and continued, "In this world, only the Sea Tribe doesn't use milk soup to make fried grains. This is because their bodies have enough water to dissolve the grains. At the same time, fried grains are their favorite food."
"Sister, you mean, this person is of the Sea Race?" Liumu Bingjian was also surprised.
Su Rongrong nodded confidently, and said, "There is a city in the Sea Heaven Territory, only fifty kilometers away from Mountain Pass. The residents of the city have been cultivating large amounts of raw materials for fried rice, all for the sake of worshipping the Sea God. It is said that every year after the worshipping ceremony, there will be no disasters at sea, and there will be no storms or waves to disturb the sea. But if the worshipping ceremony is not performed, disaster will befall the next year, and it is very effective. "
"Is that city Spirit Valley City?" Liu Letian suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Half a month later, the group arrived outside Spirit Valley City.
