Chapter 1304: Great Kindness
According to a servant's confession, he didn't recognize the corpse altar, but he...he recognized the big red box containing the corpse altar. It was late at night and it was raining. , he came out in a daze from sleep, and saw from a distance that the side door of the mansion was opened, and a group of people were moving things into the mansion, including this big red box.
At that time, he felt strange that he had not heard of any new medicinal materials arriving, and medicinal materials require extremely high storage conditions. This kind of weather was obviously not suitable.
What’s even weirder is that these people didn’t light up lamps, and each of them was dressed in a raincoat, with the brim of his hat pulled down so low that his face couldn’t be seen clearly. The more this person thought about it, the weirder it became, and finally he couldn’t help but get closer. Hide behind a tree and observe.
Under the cover of the night and the sound of rain, these people did not notice him, but as a bolt of lightning pierced the night, the man briefly saw the faces of several people clearly.
The two leading people were actually Mr. Wu and Manager Zheng!
Besides them, there was also Zhang Sheng’s face. He still remembered this person’s face until now. He heard a few conversations, which were not very clear because they were mixed with the sound of wind and rain. This person told Mr. Wu that the goods It's all taken off, and the accent sounds like... like it's from Shanghai.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng asked Laifu to get paper and pen, and quickly drew a portrait according to what the person said. He continued to revise it until the person nodded and said that it looked very similar, and then he stopped.
Taking the painting, Jiang Cheng asked the Third Young Master’s people to identify him. Unfortunately, everyone said they didn’t know him, and the scope was extended to the entire Wu Mansion. Everyone in the Wu Mansion also said they had never seen this person before.
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to put away the painting. He had already made a plan in his mind. Since this person was likely to be from Shanghai, he would go back to Shanghai to ask the shopkeeper of Bao Mo Zhai for help. With the help of his contacts, he could find the person. The odds will be much higher.
After struggling for so long, it was almost dawn. The second young master proposed to arrange for all the masters to go back to the wing to rest, but Yuan Shanyuan refused. He said that everyone had important things to do and it was not convenient to stay in the Wu Mansion longer. Since most of the curses had been If it is lifted, it would be better to leave early.
"Why, the curse hasn't been completely lifted yet?"
Hearing such words, Laifu was even more panicked than the second young master. This trip almost ruined the Wu family's family. If it happens again, , he couldn't even think about the consequences.
Luo Tianhe took a cautious attitude and said in a low voice, "The Curse of the Resentful Baby is more complicated than all of us thought, so we are not entirely sure whether it will be repeated, but please rest assured, Second Young Master. We are fully prepared. Only the curse shows signs of awakening. Please send someone to Shanghai immediately to inform us. The arrangements we left behind are enough to protect your safety in a short period of time."
The second young master couldn't help but sigh, and with the support of Laifu, he showed a helpless smile, "Ahem, then...then. Thank you, masters. We will never forget your great kindness to the Wu family.”
After seeing that Jiangcheng and the others had decided to leave, the second young master no longer wanted to stay, and asked Laifu to use the best carriages in the house to send the masters back to Shanghai. When they were leaving, they also presented extremely generous rewards and the carriages on the way. Eat and drink, do everything in good order, and be very respectful.
The first thing Fatty did when he left the Wu Mansion was to look for the little boy. The moment he saw Fatty come out safely, the boy who was squatting in the alley and waiting almost cried. After some comfort, Fatty took the boy away. He also brought a carriage with him.
Because there were enough carriages, everyone rode separately. Jiangcheng Fatty and the little boy sat in the same carriage. The fat man broke the sugar cakes prepared by the second young master for them, and gave half to the doctor and half to the boy. "Thanks to you this time, you don't have to be afraid, we will take you back Go to Shanghai. We have a friend there who is very upright. I’ll try to see if I can ask him to find a job for you.” After working so hard for Mr. Kegong, he can definitely be regarded as a friend who can be trusted.
The little boy squatted all night, feeling sleepy and hungry. After eating, he fell asleep in a daze. The fat man turned his head to Jiangcheng and asked in a low voice: "There is really no curse on the Wu family. Dismissed? ”
"I don't know, I think Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan don't know either." Jiang Cheng's gaze stayed outside the window, as something seemed to be attracting him in the night.
"Then...why did they say that?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng slowly looked back and looked at the fat man with a hint of complexity in his eyes, "Because we have to protect ourselves and prevent The human heart is indispensable, the second young master... is our last hurdle."
"Today is different from the past, the eldest young master, the third young master are all. Now that he is dead, the Second Young Master has become the real talker in the Wu Mansion and has great power. If he wants to attack us, there are so many people in the Wu Mansion that it will be difficult for us to resist him, which is why we have to leave overnight. "
“Because once we leave late, we won’t be able to leave until the second young master completes the arrangements.”
"We saved his life, and he wants to attack us?"
It is said that a drop of water should repay a favor with a spring. Fatty couldn't understand it at all. They saved the second young master's life, so they would not repay the favor. Forget it, the other party actually wants to kill them.
Jiang Cheng shook his head, "Brother, not everyone has your heart. Not to mention the second young master, but also the eldest young master, third young master, and Mr. Wu, they would make the same choice in the same situation. , when things happen, put justice aside and put profit first."
"We know too much about the Wu family, Mr. Wu's dark history, and the third young master secretly collaborating with bandits. This is a serious crime. Once leaked, Wu The family is doomed."
"And to be able to accumulate such a family fortune in this world, the second young master of the Wu family is not too clean. This man looks cool and cool, but in terms of means, he is not as good as him. The difference between the two brothers is that at least they are better at winning people's hearts. To tell you the truth, I have noticed murderous intent in the second young master. If we are allowed to leave alive today, I don't think he can even sleep well. "

"But Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan's actions are equivalent to making it clear that your curse is still there and will break out sooner or later, and only we can solve it. If you kill us, just wash your neck and wait for death."
“ The second young master had to let us go because of the curse, but this man is not stupid. When he figures out that the curse has passed, he may come back to cause trouble for us."
"If he dares to come, I will kill him. Him!”
The fat man's face turned fierce. After a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and asked: "The horse bandits in the mansion, and those people of the third young master..."
Jiang Cheng raised his hand , and made a gesture of wiping his neck. , "Of course he will kill them all. He said that the third young master had already thought of it for him. The horse bandits attacked late at night. The second young master led the crowd to resist desperately and finally wiped out the horse bandits. Unfortunately, the third young master and his followers all died in the melee. .”
"The second young master lost his loved one and was heartbroken. However, he remembered the hardships faced by Mr. Wu in starting a business and deeply felt that such a large family in the Wu family could not be without an owner for a day. The second young master endured his grief and sat down as the head of the family with tears in his eyes."
Jiang Cheng sighed and said with some reflection: "If the eldest young master hadn't died early, I'm afraid he would have been forced to die in the melee." (End of Chapter)
