Chapter 97

After Liu Qingcao table was released, she began to grope up and down the bookshelf.

This study is so strictly guarded, it must not be, it is only as simple as 5000 taels of silver and a letter.

The fire outside had been extinguished, and when Liu Qingcao was about to finish searching the third bookshelf, she heard the voices of two servants outside the door.

"Master, for some reason, there was water running behind the study, but the wooden beams were only burned, and everything else was fine." The tall and thin servant reported in a respectful voice.

The fat servant took a look at the tall and thin man, his eyes were full of contempt.

Jiang Chuanhai looked up at the two of them, then squinted at the study.

"Have you two ever left here?"

The tall and thin servant looked nervously at the fat servant, who lowered his head and remained silent.

"Old, sir, we left for a little while when the water came out..."

"Oh? For a while?" Jiang Chuanhai glanced at him coldly, then walked into the study with a hum.

The tall and thin servant watched the dark-faced Jiang Chuanhai enter the study, feeling uneasy.

"We're afraid we're going to be punished."

The fat servant was originally gloating about watching the show, but now hearing what he said, he also started to feel scared.

This fire is abnormal!
In the study, when Liu Qingcao heard the voice outside the door, she found a hidden place and hid in the space before Jiang Chuanhai pushed the door in.

Jiang Chuanhai closed the study door, lit the oil lamp, and scanned the study up and down. Seeing that there was nothing suspicious, he took a long breath.

"It seems suspicious."

Jiang Chuanhai pulled away the chair and sat on it. When his robe swept across the table, something caught him.

He subconsciously lifted it with his hand. With this lift, he directly pulled the key on the ground to the ground, making a "ding" sound.

Startled, Jiang Chuanhai immediately pulled the chair away, squatted down, and opened the drawer.

It was empty inside.

Something is missing!
Jiang Chuanhai's expression tightened, and he looked around the study.

Liu Qingcao raised her eyebrows in the space and looked at it, laughing in her heart that the head of the Jiang family would never have imagined that someone in this world was in front of him, but he couldn't see it.

Jiang Chuanhai didn't find anyone in the study, and felt relieved. Suddenly, he thought of something, and ran to the third bookshelf in a panic.

Looking at the traces of the bookshelf being turned over again, my heart rose in my throat.

Liu Qingcao stared closely at Jiang Chuanhai, watching his trembling hands take down a book from the shelf.

Liu Qingcao saw that after the book was drawn out, there was a round iron ball embedded in the wall in the empty space.

This location was exactly where she hadn't had time to search, and she almost found it.

Jiang Chuanhai pressed the iron ball, and one bookshelf was divided into two.

Zuo You moved the bookshelf, revealing a wooden door. Jiang Chuanhai hurried in, checked everything inside, and found nothing missing, so he felt relieved.

The things here are most of the property that the Jiang family has saved for two generations in the past few decades. If it is stolen, the Jiang family will be seriously injured.

Fortunately, only a few thousand taels were missing.

Looking at the belongings in a secret room, Jiang Chuanhai thought of the people in the Tang Dynasty, and a look of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

Liu Qingcao watched him check the contents inside, walked to the shelf beside, picked up a black box, opened the lid, took out a black ball from inside, and wrapped it in a handkerchief.

"Yan Yi, since you don't know current affairs, go with that child."

Jiang Chuanhai looked at the black pill in his hand, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Liu Qingcao heard this in the space, she was stunned.

Just now, the head of the Jiang family was talking about Yan Yi?

Master Yan! ?

Who is that child! ?
What is the head of the Jiang family going to do, is he going to kill someone?

Liu Qingcao looked at Jiang Chuanhai, her hands and feet were cold, she didn't expect that the Jiang family was so bold, a master of the academy would solve it as soon as he said it, without fear at all!

Fortunately, I listened to Lu Dingyuan's words, otherwise she might be targeted by the Jiang family.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingcao trembled uncontrollably. She is a modern person, born as a farmer, and has never seen the darkness of the upper class. It is here that she truly sees the darkness for the first time.

Just when Liu Qingcao was in a daze, Jiang Chuanhai took the medicine and left the secret room. He looked around cautiously, and Jiang's secret room was closed.

Liu Qingcao sat in the space, her hands trembling uncontrollably, she waited for a long time before she stabilized her mood.

Coming out of the space, Liu Qingcao took down the book, pressed the iron ball, the bookshelf was separated, Liu Qingcao pushed open the door, and ran in, just now in the space, only a corner of the inside could be seen, now come in, Only then did I see everything inside.

The secret room is about [-] square meters, except for the door, nothing is placed, the rest of the place is full of piles.

Liu Qingcao wanted to save people, so she didn't dare to look carefully at the delay, and started to work directly, moving all the things inside to the space, not even leaving a piece of paper behind.

She looked at the empty space and smiled with satisfaction. Such a cruel person who disregards human life should not have any compassion for him.

Liu Qingcao left the secret room and restored it to its original state. If time permits, she will definitely go to the main house of the head of the Jiang family. Even if there are not as many belongings in that house, there are still a lot.

It's just that time is really running out, she has to save others, the black pill that the Patriarch of the Jiang family took is not easy at first glance, if it is not in time, Master Yan may die.

Liu Qingcao put some books on the bookshelf into the space, then took out a candle and lit it, and threw it on the small bed.

When the candle was lit, Liu Qingcao stood behind the door, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, and waited quietly.

Not long after, the two servants outside the door noticed the bright light in the study, they looked at each other, opened the door and rushed in.

"No, it's not good, the study is flooded!" The fat servant stuttered as he looked at the burning bed.

"Quick, put out the fire."

The tall and thin servant rushed out, leaving the fat servant alone in the study.

"Why is it on fire again?" The fat servant looked at the growing fire, hurriedly recovered his broom, and beat the burning bed.

Seeing that the fat servant didn't pay attention to this side, Liu Qingcao quickly slipped out from behind, fearing that she would meet a tall and thin servant on the way, Liu Qingcao deliberately chose to walk against the wall.

After a while, the fire in the study was getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that the fire couldn't be controlled, the fat man shouted loudly.

"It's flooded, come quickly, the study is flooded."

"Quick, get out of the way!"

The tall and thin man hurried over with a bucket in his hand, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he quickly poured the water in the bucket on it.

"It's over, it's over." The fat servant Ding looked at the fire in bewilderment.

Seeing him like that, the tall and thin servant got so angry that he kicked him on the calf.

"When you're done, hurry up and call someone."

After speaking, he hurried away with the bucket in hand.

The fat servant curled his mouth and ran to the lobby with a crying voice, shouting as he ran.

"It's running out of water, come quickly."

"It's flooded, the study is flooded, come and put out the fire."

After a while, all members of the Jiang family ran out of the room, looking in the direction of the study, worried.

The study is not far from their respective houses, if the fire burns here, it will be fine.
