Chapter 723: Jade Ruyi
Hua Lang had an indescribable feeling about Zhu Shiwen, so everyone didn't ask any more.
After returning to the mansion, Bao Zheng asked Wei Huai to send someone to call Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
When Liu Bei and Zhang Fei came to the mansion, it was already late afternoon, although the weather was hot at this time, it was not as strong as the sun at noon, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang and others did not give a good face after seeing Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, which made these two people who had just lost their good brothers feel very uncomfortable.
Hua Lang looked at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and asked, "Is there something that the two of you are hiding from us?" ”
Liu Bei shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said, "No, we have all said what we know, and we have nothing to hide." ”
Hua Lang snorted coldly and said, "But as far as I know, Guan Yu, the second master of Guan Yu, went to see a person in a single inn yesterday, and Guan Yu obeyed that person, and said that he would go back to discuss with the two of you, presumably Guan Yu went to the study last night to see the two of you, right?" ”
After hearing these words, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were suddenly surprised, as if they had seen a ghost.
After a long time, Zhang Fei asked, "...... you How do you know the way? ”
Hua Lang smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "It's not a secret, when a few of us first came to Jinling yesterday, we had a meal at a single inn, and we happened to see Guan Yu, the second master, at that time, let's say, who is the person who met Guan Yu, and what is the matter he discussed with Guan Yu?" ”
Zhang Fei was a little shocked, he wanted to speak and stopped, and at this time, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "That Zhu Shiwen has a gap with my brother, could the murderer be him?" ”
Hua Lang saw that Liu Bei wanted to divert his attention, and immediately said angrily: "I have already seen that Zhu Shiwen before I called you to come, he can't be the murderer who killed Guan Yu, or tell me who that person is, what to do with Guan Yu." ”
Liu Bei saw that he couldn't escape, and after hesitating for a moment, he had to say: "This matter is the hidden pain of our three brothers, and I am afraid of a few jokes if I say it." ”
"It's okay for you to say it directly, besides, your brother Guan Yu was killed, don't you want us to find the murderer quickly?" Bao Zheng asked sharply.
Liu Bei nodded again and again, and said: "Here's the thing, our three brothers were not very rich when they were young, and they were more embarrassed, one day, we met a person who was chased and killed, the person was seriously injured, and he was almost happy, after the three of us brothers took him home, they treated him, but after watching it for a few days, it still had no effect at all, and the person in the rivers and lakes was still dead, and we had to bury the person, but when we buried the person, We found a baby in him. When Liu Bei said this, his voice couldn't help but be much lower.
At this time, Wen Menghe couldn't wait to ask, "What kind of baby?" ”
Liu Bei scratched his head with a finger and said: "It's a jade Ruyi, the jade Ruyi is not very big, only the size of a palm, but it is very exquisite, and it is made of good jade, so it is very valuable and precious, our three brothers saw the jade Ruyi, and their hearts were immediately overjoyed, and they wanted to keep it well, but since they got the jade Ruyi, the three of us lived in embarrassment, and we had to sell the jade Ruyi. ”
"It's strange to say, we use the money we get from selling Yu Ruyi to do business, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become the current scale after reaching the most Lu, we thought that this matter would continue like this, but the second brother suddenly looked for us last night."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but concentrate even more.
Subsequently, Liu Bei continued: "Yesterday we received news from the second brother, so we hurried over......" Liu Bei was just about to continue, Hua Lang suddenly interrupted him and asked, "When did you meet?" ”
"Last night's unitary hour!"
"When did you leave?"
"After the unitary hour!"
Hua Lang nodded, and then made a gesture of please, meaning to let Liu Bei continue.
Liu Bei bowed slightly, and then continued: "The second brother invited us to go, and then told us that today he went to a single inn to eat, but in the middle of the meal, suddenly a person he had never seen walked into the room, and the second brother saw that he didn't know the person who came, and suddenly doubted in his heart, so he got up and asked, but the person only smiled slightly, and then sat opposite my second brother, and told the story of the rescue we saved when we were young. ”
"How old is that guy?"
"I asked the second brother about this, and he said that ** is about twenty years old, and when we get Yu Ruyi, he should still be just an ignorant child."
Hua Lang bowed, and then Liu Bei continued: "When my second brother heard that person say this thing, he was very shocked, and quickly asked him what he meant by this, and the man sneered, saying that he naturally wanted to get back what he deserved. ”
"What does he deserve?" Hua Lang was a little puzzled and hurriedly asked.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "At that time, we were also shocked when we heard the second brother say these words, thinking in our hearts, even if he knew about this matter, what could he do, he just wanted to use this matter to blackmail us, I'm afraid it's not possible, but he said that the Jianghu man we saved back then was his father, and the jade Ruyi was their family's ancestral heirloom, and now it was sold by us for money, how can it be done, he wants us to return his jade Ruyi." ”
Hearing this, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and at this time, Liu Bei continued: "When my second brother learned that he was the son of that person, I suddenly lost my confidence, after all, we are not robbers who kill people and set fires, and the jade Ruyi was indeed not ours back then, we are weak-hearted, but we have sold the jade Ruyi, and where can we give it to him, so the second brother first lied to the man and said that he would discuss it with the two of us after returning home, and then make a decision after the discussion." ”
"That guy agreed?"
Liu Bei nodded.
"What kind of decision did you three brothers make after meeting last night to discuss this matter?"
At this time, Zhang Fei, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "What decision can we make, that jade Ruyi has already sold people, even if we want to return that person to jade Ruyi, we must find that jade Ruyi first." ”
Liu Bei nodded and said, "We are going to find the jade Ruyi of the year, and then buy it and return it to that person, after all, with our current strength, it is not a problem to buy ten such jade Ruyi." ”
For what Liu Bei said, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang agreed with them, after all, no matter how precious Jade Ruyi is, it can also be measured by price.
