Chapter 17 Borrowing money and accidents

"Miss Chai, don't get me wrong. I came to Lu's house this time because I was entrusted by a friend to investigate a strange incident. When we first learned that there was a demon from the Heart Training Sect in Chai's residence, we rushed there immediately. Lord Shou’s suggestion to go long-term to catch big fish is definitely not our intention to delay.”

Jiujiu, a simple child, was really fooled, and immediately revealed his old background, and Chai Jiangcui also took the initiative.

It turned out that Wu Dewei's delay in coming was my father's idea, no wonder Wu Dewei's came to clean up the puppet spirits the next day as soon as I finished solving the sub-helm of the Mind Training Sect.

But then again, I wouldn't have sabotaged their "fishing" plan, would I?

Chai Jiangcui's eyeballs rolled around, and he began to think wildly in his mind, but he kept talking,
She stood up and came to sit down beside Jiu Jiu, she leaned slightly closer to Jiu Jiu, and exhaled wildly:
"Brother Jiujiu, can you tell my sister what strange thing you are investigating? I'm so curious about half of what you said."

Although Chai Jiangcui had never been in a relationship in his previous life, he had seen a lot of "Tea Talk" and he could be regarded as a king of theory no matter what.

Although the practical skills are somewhat lacking, it is more than enough to deal with an innocent boy like Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu, who was already in the shadow of Chai Jiangcui, couldn't bear this posture. He leaned against the armrest of the chair tightly, and said with a stiff expression:

"Miss Chai, men and women are not intimate, as the daughter of the Chai family, shouldn't you maintain some image?"

Chai Jiangcui didn't like his tricks, and moved closer to Jiujiu again. She stuck out her tongue mischievously, and said expectantly:

"Hee hee, there's no one else here, so what kind of image do you need to maintain in front of Brother Jiujiu? Good brother, tell me what are you investigating, I like exciting things the most."

Hearing this, Jiu Jiu turned his head and looked around subconsciously, and found that there was really no one in the reception hall. It was probably because the old housekeeper just saw that something was wrong with Chai Jiangcui and Jiu Jiu, so he took his servants and slipped away first, for fear of seeing something Things that shouldn't be seen.

'The old fox! '

Jiu Jiu cursed inwardly, looking at Chai Jiangcui's big flashing eyes, his heart softened instantly, he nodded helplessly,

"I said, I said, Miss Chai, please sit down first, otherwise it may cause misunderstanding if someone sees it."

"Good drop!"

A cunning flashed in Chai Jiangcui's eyes, and she quickly sat upright, as if obediently listening to the lecture.

cough~

Jiu Jiu cleared his throat and said slowly:
"Miss Chai must have come to Lu's house to investigate the disappearance of Yinzi, right? However, I guess that the disappearance of Yinzi in Lu's house may be related to a weirdness in the legend of the practice world. Oh, by the way, Miss Chai may not know what a weirdness is. , weird in a nutshell is..."

Jiu Jiu seemed to have thought of something, and thoughtfully explained the strange characteristics to her in a simplified way.

Although Chai Jiangcui already knew about these things, she still showed her concentration and did not show a trace of impatience.

"The weirdness of the Lu family is likely to be a rare 'borrowing money'. Borrowing money is on the list of people in the weird record, and it is a rare and harmless weirdness.

It is rumored that "Borrowing Wealth" was born from the coins that passed through the hands of many people. It has the ability to help users create property out of thin air, but it is impossible for ordinary people to borrow strange powers without paying a price.The wealth obtained through "borrowing money" is often returned tenfold by your descendants after a hundred years. "

After listening to Jiu Jiu's narration, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help complaining:
"That is to say, the reason why the Lu family lost money for no reason is because the ancestors of the Lu family once borrowed two renminbi of silver every day from the 'borrowing money'. Tsk tsk, ten times! There are indeed black enough."

Jiu Jiu nodded in agreement, and continued to add:

"It's quite dark, and others will not know the price of using the weird 'borrowing money'. I once saw it in an ancient book of tricks. After someone got the 'borrowing money', they got several Ten thousand taels of silver, as soon as his descendants get the money in a hundred years, they will disappear out of thin air. In the end, they can only live on the streets and starve to death."

It is a typical usury routine to deceive people. Chai Jiangcui recalled the memories of his previous life, and found that this weirdness seemed to be the true inheritance of the loan shark routine in his previous life.

"Let's ask the Patriarch of the Lu family now, maybe he can know where the 'borrowed money' is."

Jiu Jiu shook his head, "That friend of mine is the second young master of the Lu family. I asked him before, but he said that the ancestors of the Lu family did not tell them the clue of 'borrowing money'. But don't worry, I have already heard about it." Be prepared."

While the two were talking, Lu Hao, the head of the Lu family, finally hurried over.

Lu Hao was a middle-aged fat man, wearing a military cap. Perhaps because he was running too fast, his shiny forehead was covered with sweat.

"Ahaha, my humble Lu Hao is the Patriarch of the Lu family. The arrival of the two distinguished guests really makes the humble house shine. Please forgive me for the lack of hospitality from the servants."

Lu Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and enthusiastically bowed his hands to the two, not daring to be rude.

He once met Chai Jiangcui from a distance at the birthday banquet of an old man of the royal family.The apple of the sheriff's eye, if this aunt is unhappy, she can kill Lu's family with a few words.

Jiu Jiu is also a heavyweight. In the letter sent back by his son, this can be said to be described as an immortal master, and the Lu family can't afford to provoke him.

Chai Jiangcui sat on the seat and didn't speak, but turned his head and blinked at Jiu Jiu. Jiu Jiu didn't know what Chai Jiangcui's intention was, but he stood up and replied:

"Master Lu, you're being polite. You should already know the purpose of our trip, so I hope Master Lu will lead us to the place where the money was lost."

"us"?Is it true that Miss Chai has a close relationship with the young man in front of me as the butler said?That's a little bit of a big deal.

Lu Hao's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help thinking of something.However, after many years of ups and downs in the business world, he has already developed the ability to control his expressions proficiently.

He still had a warm smile on his face, "No problem, two distinguished guests, please come with me, the money box that lost money for no reason is in my backyard."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation and led the two of them to the backyard.But before leaving, he couldn't help but take a little look at the behavior between Chai Jiangcui and Jiu Jiu.

Although this behavior was very secretive, Chai Jiangcui and Jiu Jiu were not ordinary people, so they immediately noticed something was wrong.

'This fat man didn't misunderstand something, did he? '

Feeling the inexplicable meaning in Lu Hao's eyes, Chai Jiangcui touched her temples in confusion, but she couldn't jump out to explain at this time, so she could only let Lu Hao make random guesses.

Lu's Mansion is just a second-entry house, and you have come to the backyard through a corridor.

Lu Hao took out a key from his sleeve, opened one of the locked doors, and said with an awkward smile:

"It made the two distinguished guests laugh. Because I lost money every day, I deliberately locked the door, but it seems useless now."

Entering the room, Lu Hao pointed to a big black storage cabinet in the corner, and handed a bunch of keys to Jiu Jiudao seriously:
"This is the cash cabinet used to store the money of the Nalu Mansion. The two distinguished guests are free to check it out. I'm in the study next door. Call me if you need anything."

When Lu Hao handed over the key, he looked very easy and didn't say anything else.The identities of these two are not enough to covet the meager money of the Lu family.

After Lu Hao left, only Chai Jiangcui and Jiu Jiu were left in the room.

The lonely man and the widow are in the same room, which is easy to be associated with.Especially this girl is still very beautiful, Jiu Jiu couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment on his face.

But Chai Jiangcui didn't think so much. At the moment, her mind is full of finding "borrowing money" and looking for opportunities for the card to absorb it secretly.

"Brother Jiu Jiu, let's open the door of the cupboard. I can't wait to see what you mean by 'weird'."

Seeing Jiu Jiu standing there in a daze, Chai Jiangcui stretched out a finger and tapped his shoulder lightly, reminding him in a charming voice.

"OK, all right."

Jiu Jiu felt his cheeks getting hot, he hurriedly lowered his head and walked to the cash drawer to unlock the two big locks on it.

The cash drawer in the Lu family is two meters high and nearly one meter wide, and it is made of camphor wood.It is divided into upper, middle and lower floors. The upper layer is a grid of drawers, which contain the deeds of Lu's house and a small amount of bank notes.Ingots of silver and copper plates are stored in the middle and lower floors respectively.

Looking at the shiny silver in a cabinet, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and picked up two handles to play with. The silver's impact sound was really crisp and charming.

"This is where money is so charming. How many people in the world are busy just for this few taels of silver. Brother Jiu, what are you doing now?"

While tapping the silver ingot, Chai Jiangcui looked curiously at Jiu Jiu who took something from the storage bag on his waist.

Jiu Jiu took out three things from the storage bag, copper coins, broken silver and azure spiritual thread.He tied copper coins and broken silver to one end of the azure spiritual thread, and put the remaining end together.

Hearing Chai Jiangcui's question, Jiu Jiu patiently explained:

"'Borrowing wealth' is stored in coins, and it likes to devour some coins that also have aura. So I plan to use this as bait and set up some traps to see if I can hang it successfully."

Weirdness cannot be distinguished by conventional means, so if you want to deal with them, you have to use some means.

After half a minute, Jiu Jiu had successfully tied eight ropes, four copper coins, and four pieces of silver.

"Okay, now we just need to put the bait in and wait quietly for the fish to take the bait."

Jiu Jiu clapped his hands, threw the broken silver and copper plates into the cabinet, and then closed the cabinet door, leaving only a few spiritual threads exposed outside.Jiu Jiu held the spirit thread with a focused expression.

Seeing that Jiu Jiu was so serious, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help becoming serious, standing aside and waiting quietly.

1 minute passed and nothing happened.

5 minute passed and nothing happened.

Half an hour passed, and there was still no movement from the spirit line.

Chai Jiangcui didn't dare to move because he was afraid of disturbing the "borrowing money" by making a noise, and kept standing in the same position, his legs were a little sore.

"If I had known it was so long, I would have just sat and waited in a chair, and suffered!"

Chai Jiangcui glanced at the back seat not far away, and muttered inwardly with some regret.But after waiting for so long, it would be too bad if all previous efforts were wasted, so I can only hold on.

Time passed by, and suddenly, the closed door was opened, and a gorgeously dressed woman walked in.

She looked at the two people in the room in surprise, and asked loudly:
"Who are you? Why are you in my bedroom?"

Chai Jiangcui looked at the domineering woman, and couldn't help frowning. What did Lu Hao do? It's fine if he didn't tell the mansion about them, and he didn't send someone to guard the door. Seeing how shrewd he looks, I didn't expect that even this Little things can't be imagined.

Jiu Jiu also seemed a little dissatisfied with the woman's sudden intrusion. In his opinion, this woman seemed to be too stupid. Could it be that she couldn't see the obvious head-catching clothes on Chai Jiangcui?

Too lazy to talk to her, Jiu Jiu said in a cold tone:

"Who are we? You can ask Lu Hao. Now I invite you to go out and don't disturb us."

When the woman saw Jiu Jiu speak so impolitely, she instantly frowned, and she screamed:
"Okay! You are still so arrogant in my house, you wait for me, I will let the master drive you out now."

After finishing speaking, the woman slammed the door heavily and walked towards Lu Hao's study.

Being disturbed by that woman, all the previous work was in vain, and I had to spend time waiting for the "borrowing money" to take the bait again.

'Well, at least now I have an excuse to find a chair. '

Chai Jiangcui sat down on a chair beside her calmly, and said lazily:

"I'm talking about Brother Jiujiu, is your fishing plan reliable? We've been waiting for half an hour just now, and the line in your hand hasn't moved at all."

Hearing this, Jiu Jiu felt a little offended, and said with some uncertainty in his tone:
"Maybe this 'borrowing money' is slow to respond? Let's wait and see, if it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways."

"Okay, then I'll wait with you."

Chai Jiangcui stretched comfortably on the chair, her graceful figure inadvertently revealed, so that Jiu Jiu had to lower his head and keep silently reciting the Taoist scriptures to calm the dryness on his face.

But at the next moment, Chai Jiangcui seemed to smell a faint smell of blood.

"No, that woman just had a problem!"

Chai Jiangcui's complexion changed, she stood up abruptly, and without any regard for etiquette, she took Jiu Jiu's hand and rushed out.

Although Jiu Jiu didn't know what happened, he didn't resist and let Chai Jiangcui drag him towards the door.

But Chai Jiangcui's reaction was still a step slow. The moment they were about to step out of the door, several pale green beams of light rose from the corner, forming a translucent light shield that completely enveloped the room.

Chai Jiangcui tried to reach out and touch the mask, but felt that he was touching a hard air wall. Obviously, this room was sealed off by special means.

"It's Yangmu trapped in the formation, we're afraid we've been ambushed."

Looking at the light curtains around him, Jiu Jiu looked solemnly.He took out a spiritual pen from the storage bag, and stood sideways in front of Chai Jiangcui.
