In addition to the servants in the room, the Godly Doctor Song Wencao, Hua Manlou, and Yang Muzhi were also chased out by Master Hua.

Because Yang Muzhi still had Hua Ping's face, he didn't have much interaction with Hua Manlou. However, Song Wencao seemed to be very familiar with him, and the two of them could even chat for a while.

"Look at Qi Tong's face recently. Have your eyes improved?" Song Wencao chuckled, and even his half-white beard shook.

Hua Manlou waved his fan and replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Song. It's still the same."

After a few more polite words, Song Wencao said goodbye and left. Yang Muzhi pulled Hua Manlou's sleeve, indicating that he had something to say.

After finding a quiet place, Yang Muzhi rubbed Hua Manlou's brows, "Don't frown. I don't like it."

Hua Manlou laughed, "Muzhi, how come I didn't know you could be so overbearing before?"

Of course, friends and lovers couldn't be treated equally. No matter how close a friend was, there was still a limit. However, lovers couldn't distinguish between you and me.

Now that the person in front of him had been classified as one of Yang Muzhi's people, even if he was unreasonably overbearing, he could still be righteous.

His eyes were bright as he looked at Hua Manlou, "I know you're blaming yourself for the death of that servant, right?

I'm also very sorry to see him die, but now that the Iron Shoe Bandit has appeared, and uncle's reaction is so abnormal.

I'm afraid that some things are out of our control. Promise me that you'll protect yourself. "

Hua Manlou lowered his head, and the familiar faint smell of medicine gave him temporary clarity, "Muzhi, you also have to promise me that you'll protect yourself."

After a while, the two of them planned to find Lu Xiaofeng to ask about the progress of the matter. It just so happened that Lu Xiaofeng was also looking for them.

They randomly found a room to sit down. Hua Manlou habitually wanted to pour tea for Yang Muzhi, but found that there was no tea in the teapot, so he could only give up.

Yang Muzhi squeezed his hand, indicating that he didn't care about these trivial matters, and looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, which had just grown out, with an unfathomable expression on his face. He did not keep them in suspense for long. "The manservant died with one slash. The fatal wound should have been his throat. The bloody wounds on his body were all caused after he died."

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a handsome man walked in casually, "There are generally two possibilities for abuse after death. One is for revenge, which is simple abuse. The other is to destroy the corpse to conceal the identity of the deceased or the murderer."

After saying this, he sat down on the only empty stool at the square table, and pulled out a bright smile, "I'm the arrester of Six Fan School, Jin Jiu Ling. Nice to meet you."

Jin Jiu Ling was famous in Jianghu, and his reputation had risen in the imperial court. He was an excellent and successful man in all aspects.

But the most peculiar thing about him was his attitude towards life: he didn't drink unless it was the best wine in the world, he didn't wear clothes that weren't made of the best silk in the world, and he always used the best things.

Many people once asserted that a proud and conceited person like Jin Jiu Ling would never be willing to bow down to others, and would never be a arrester for long.

But to this day, he still held the title of the world's number one arrester.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled at him and didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks, "I knew it. Besides me, the most troublesome place in the world must be you. Long time no see, Jin Jiu Ling."

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and laughed. It was a pity that there was no wine here, otherwise, they would definitely drink to their hearts' content.

As the host, Hua Manlou also laughed, "After solving the problem at hand, the two of you can go to Fourth Brother's wine cellar and drink to your heart's content."

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng's attitude towards Jin Jiu Ling, Yang Muzhi didn't bother to pretend to be Hua Ping. After all, there was no reason for a servant to sit at the same table as the host and guest. "Golden Constable, long time no see."

Previously, one of Jin Jiu Ling's disciples had become enemies with the Tang Sect while investigating a case. He had been poisoned badly, and it was Yang Muzhi who saved his life. The two of them could be considered friends.

After greeting each other, Jin Jiu Ling said seriously, "That servant was indeed killed by a cut to the throat, but combined with Seventh Flower Prince's identification of the Iron Shoe Thief's mark, we have reason to believe that the murderer didn't intend to torture him or destroy the evidence. The murderer's intention was to make a big deal out of it."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded in agreement, "Sixth Brother Hua's wedding is a lively event with many guests. After making a big deal out of it, it's natural to take advantage of the opportunity to do something. It's hard to find out."

For some reason, Jin Jiu Ling, who had a serious expression on his face, laughed in a low voice, "Hahaha, I agree with Lu Xiao Feng. By the way, you look very beautiful in your wedding dress, hahahaha."

After saying this, other than Lu Xiaofeng, the other three people in the room all laughed to varying degrees.

Just as they were celebrating, a servant hurriedly rushed in, "Young Master!

Not good, Master has fainted! "

Hua Manlou and Yang Muzhi looked at each other. Yang Muzhi shook his head, and the joyous atmosphere suddenly froze.

When the four of them arrived at Master Hua's room, Godly Doctor Song Wencao had just finished checking his pulse, "It's the same as vomiting blood just now. It's caused by poor blood flow. Brother Hua, if you have something to say, you can say it. If you keep it in your heart, it will only harm your body."

Other than the four people who had just entered, the rest of the people present were Master Hua's close friends. Hua Ruling sighed, "Qi Tong was right. The Iron Shoe Thief is indeed still alive. Now, not only is he alive, but … he has also stolen a treasure of the Hua family!"

The Hua family was the richest family in Jiangnan, and Hua Ruling, as the master of the Hua family, had endless wealth. What kind of treasure was worth his attention?

Before anyone could ask, Kuchi, who was at the side, looked anxious. He could not help but ask, "Brother Hua!

Was it that thing that was stolen?! "

Hua Ruling nodded, "Yes, it was that thing."

The group of people were confused and did not know what it was. Yingyan Laoqi, who was straightforward, almost jumped up, "Old Flower, why are you talking in riddles with the old monk?

What treasure was stolen? Just say it! "

Just as Master Hua was hesitating whether he should say it, Hua Manlou persuaded him, "Father, you should tell everyone."

However, after waiting for a while, no one heard Master Hua speak. Jin Jiu Ling stood up and revealed his identity as an arrester of the Six Fan School, "Master Hua, since you don't want to say it, why don't I ask? Was the stolen treasure the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas?"

Once the words' Vast Ocean Jade Buddha 'were uttered, everyone present, except for a few insiders, was confused. Why would the extremely wealthy Hua Ruling stutter over a mere Jade Buddha? Why would he be so vexed and troubled like this?

Hua Ruling did not explain. He just sighed and opened the secret mechanism in the room under everyone's gaze.

When the secret door opened, Yingyan Laoqi saw that it was only a short corridor. He snorted and stepped forward, but was stopped by Hua Ruling.

"Everyone, don't think that this secret room is the same as an ordinary corridor. In fact, it was designed with the principles of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. One wrong step will lead to a tragic death.

Everyone, please follow my footsteps and walk forward step by step. "

Finished speaking, Ying Yan Laoqi's heart was filled with trepidation as he took a step back. He muttered, "You scared laozi, I almost lost my life."

Therefore, Hua Ru Ling walked at the front, and the others followed closely behind him. Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have gotten an idea out of nowhere. He asked with great interest, "Uncle Hua, could this secret chamber be Zhu Ting's work?"

The world's number one divine craftsman, Zhu Tingyi, also known as' Boss', was Lu Xiaofeng's best friend. It could be said that the two of them grew up together. But something happened three years ago, it seemed that they had cut off all ties and no longer kept in touch.

It was not easy for Lu Xiaofeng to recognize the design of this secret room as Zhu Ting's work.

Hua Ruling adjusted his hat with his hand and said, "Yes, this is indeed Mr. Zhu's work. There is a turn in front of us. After that, we can move freely."

Hua Manlou walked in front of Yang Muzhi, as if he wanted to clear the obstacles in front of him.

When he turned the corner and stood still, Yang Muzhi, who seemed to be thinking about something, bumped into his back.

The body of a martial artist was hard, and this collision was not light. A hero named Yuan Fei saw this and laughed out in a low voice.

When everyone turned the corner, they saw the high platform at the end of the corridor. Some people had already surrounded the platform, but they saw nothing except the glass shards on the ground.

Song Wencao seemed to be curious. He faced Hua Ruling and asked in a loud voice, "Is the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas placed here? Is the cover broken to steal the Jade Buddha?"

Yang Muzhi looked at the shiny glass shards on the ground. This was the first time he had seen this kind of thing.

Jin Jiu Ling, who was standing at the side, seemed to have noticed this scene. He explained in a low voice, "This thing is called glass. It's an imported product and is not considered common."

His voice was light and carried a sense of pride, just like him. Yang Muzhi looked up and felt that he was an interesting person.

On the other side, Hua Ruling was seriously explaining the origin of the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas.

He said that outside of the Ming Dynasty, there was a small country called Hanhai Province, which had an inexplicable relationship with the Hua Family.

The Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas was the national treasure of Hanhai Province. Before the new king ascended the throne, he had to bathe, fast, worship the Jade Buddha, and recite sutras for three days. Whichever prince obtained the Jade Buddha was equivalent to obtaining the royal power.

More than twenty years ago, the old king was worried that his princes would fight for power in the future. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he secretly entrusted the Jade Buddha to the head of the Hua Family, Hua Ruling, for safekeeping.

The two agreed that only the prince who came with the old king's token could take the Jade Buddha from Hua Ruling.

After he finished explaining, he found his most beloved and most apologetic youngest son in the crowd. His eyes were filled with unconcealable self-blame and grief. "More than ten years ago, the Iron Shoe Bandit snuck into the Splendid Mountain Villa to steal this Jade Buddha.

It's funny that I was able to protect the Jade Buddha but not Qi Tong. "

When he finished speaking, the room was silent.
