Chapter 1432 Ebbing Tide
Looking at Jiang Cheng’s sinister smile, shopkeeper Qian suddenly panicked, but there was a door behind him. Even if he could run out and be caught by the officers and soldiers, then everyone would finish the game together.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Cheng, "Hero, I still have some scattered silver in the package upstairs. You two... you two heroes can take whatever you want."
Jiang Cheng shook his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and stared at the money The shopkeeper seemed to be looking at a dead person, "We don't want money."
When he heard that he didn't want money, shopkeeper Qian's face suddenly turned ugly. He suddenly realized a problem. What happened to these remnants of the previous dynasty who came to the door today? What is it for?
From Shopkeeper Qian's point of view, the most likely option was to kill someone and silence him. After all, he saw the other person's face.
"Shopkeeper Qian, I think it's better for us to be more direct. I will lend you your head later. Time is running out. Please bear with me. I will be there soon." Jiang Cheng gestured and extended his hand. It went into the lapel of his clothes, as if there was a knife hidden there.
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Qian collapsed in the next second, knelt on the ground and kowtowed crazily to Jiang Cheng, "Hero, hero, please spare me, my heart is actually biased towards you, but people living in this world cannot I only care about myself, I still have a family to support, you two heroes, please show mercy!”
Seeing that the purpose of the beating had been achieved, Jiang Cheng did not want to embarrass the businessman anymore, but he needed the information in the hands of shopkeeper Qian. In the conversation just now, shopkeeper Qian inadvertently revealed something that Jiang Cheng was very interested in. Something strange happened near Spring God Lake, and he mentioned a word, low tide. This was the first time Jiangcheng had heard of it.
No matter how you look at it, the information in the hands of shopkeeper Qian is more detailed and more valuable than that in Liu Dadan's hands.
With a look from Jiang Cheng, the fat man naturally took over the words and acted as a peacemaker. The fat man stretched out his hand to help Shopkeeper Qian, whose legs were weak from fear, and moved a wooden stool over for Shopkeeper Qian to sit down. , after comforting him for a while, Shopkeeper Qian’s complexion improved a lot.
The fat man took a pot of tea from the table and poured it for Shopkeeper Qian. The tea had long been cold. As soon as Shopkeeper Qian took a sip, he heard the fat man say to Jiang Cheng: "I said, Shopkeeper Qian doesn't look like him either." He’s a bad guy, let’s let him go today.”
"Yes, that's right." Shopkeeper Qian nodded like a fool, "I'm not a bad person. I have great respect for the former General Guo. I don't recognize him at all like this bullshit Zhennan Marquis."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng persisted , "No, if we let him go, there is a possibility of leaking the secret. Our plan must be foolproof. The two of us must work hard to solve him, and we must also find out the strange phenomena near Spring God Lake. You also know, then The time is coming. "Jiang Chengyou. The purpose of using vague descriptions such as the strange appearance and that incident is to extract the information from the hands of shopkeeper Qian. This man is a tricky person. If I don't scare him first, I'm afraid I will try to extract it from his mouth. Intelligence is difficult and they don't have that much time.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian could no longer hold the tea cup in his hand, and immediately cried with a sad face, "No, you two heroes, don't... don't do it. You have also seen that I packed so many luggage just to leave here. I'll go far away and never come back. I guarantee that no one from the Hou Mansion will find me. Also, don't you want to know about Spring God Lake? I... I happen to know a little bit, you might be able to use it. ”
"You know?" The fat man raised his eyelids.
“I know, I know!”
“Don’t believe him, he’s an antique dealer who knows nothing. Just keep an eye on him, and I’ll find the rope. You’ll help me in a while, and we’ll choke him. Kill him and then hang him," Jiang Cheng said indifferently.
"Okay, just like last time?" the fat man answered, scratching his neck.
Seeing the two singing and harmonizing, Shopkeeper Qian’s psychological defense completely collapsed. He didn’t know what evil he had done, but he actually met these two murderous demons. Listening to the conversation, this kind of thing happened between two people. People are already familiar with the road.
Shopkeeper Qian cried so hard that he burst into tears. He started talking about his unfulfilled son, and then talked about the sadness over the years. Seeing that it was almost done, the fat man gave him a step, "Okay, okay, listen to this." It means that you are also a hard-working person, and so are we. It is not difficult for us to help you. For now, please tell us about things related to Spring God Lake."
"There must be one. The words don’t match what I know, but your head..."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, he saw shopkeeper Qian nodding his head repeatedly, his face filled with joy of surviving the disaster, "Understood, I understand. , a lie, click!"
"The first question is, why are you, an antique dealer, so interested in Chunshen Lake, which is dozens of miles away?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Shopkeeper Qian pursed his lips nervously, "Hero, just like I told you before, after Luo'an City was defeated, the imperial army rushed into General Guo's mansion, but they waited until they broke open the treasure house. , Such a huge treasure house is actually empty, not to mention gold and silver treasures, even antiques, calligraphy and paintings.”
"Later, there were rumors that these treasures sank in the Spring God Lake along with General Guo's treasure ship. I didn't take it seriously at first. After all, these rumors were groundless, but later...it turned out that there was someone who was once Guo Da's treasure ship. The treasures from Jiangjun Mansion are secretly circulated on the market. I have seen them. They are not fakes, they are real, and the price offered by the other party is very low. It is obvious that they do not know the goods.”
“That’s just me. How could someone in this business not be tempted, so I investigated secretly, spent a lot of time, and finally found out that these things came from the fishing villages near Chunshen Lake."
In the past. During the narration, Shopkeeper Qian had a thorough understanding of some strange things in the fishing village. Jiang Cheng thought about it together, and combined with Shopkeeper Qian's identity, he felt that it was barely reasonable.
"Those treasures were all fished out of the lake by fishermen?" The fat man felt that he had followed the other party's thinking.
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Qian hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head with a strange look on his face, "Only a very small part of the fish was caught, most of it was picked up by the fishermen."
"Picked it up?" The fat man was a little confused, "Where did you pick it up?"
"From the Spring God Lake."
When he said this, Shopkeeper Qian's face turned gloomy. "It was a dark night. People living in the fishing village went to bed early, but in the middle of the night, many people were woken up by the sound coming from outside. It was the sound of water. A very loud and strange sound of water.”
“Everyone walked out of the door in confusion, and suddenly they had the courage to go to the Spring God Lake together. When they illuminated it with a lantern, they suddenly found that all the original lake water had receded, exposing a large area of the embankment, which was unexpected. What’s strange is that the tidal flat near the lake is actually covered with gold and silver treasures.”
I am also a sheep. I have a headache and a sore throat. It is difficult to see. Everyone, please pay attention to protection
