Chapter 484: The Will (End)

Fortunately, the disciples of the beggar gang are all over the world, although it took a little effort, Xiao Yu'er got the information he wanted to know, and he found those short-term workers who had been employed by Mr. Luo, who had been in the town for many years, and sat down under the root of a wall like the later generations, writing that they would do anything and let people hire them.

When they found the two day laborers, they remembered it very clearly, and among all the odd jobs they did, they remembered that they had skidled a brick from that wall, hollowed out the wall and made a hole, and then put the brick back on. It was done very carefully, so that the joints between the bricks and the walls were barely visible. It was quite a difficult job, and the old gentleman was very picky. The man who told us about it was King Kong, and he was a burly man with a gray beard and a bit of a smart look.

When Xiao Yu'er returned to the "manor", her feelings were high, and she hurriedly opened the door of the study and carried out our actions according to the latest information. There is no sign of re-movement on the bricks.

But when the little fish carefully removed a brick according to the instructions of the short-term worker, a deep hole immediately appeared in front of them.

Xiao Yu'er couldn't wait to put his hand in, but the smug look on his face suddenly became stunned, and then he became depressed.

All he grabbed was shredded pieces of paper that had been burned to ashes, and other than that, there was nothing in the hole.

"Damn!" Xiao Yu'er angrily punched the wall, although there were cracks on the wall, but ~~~ I, my hand hurts. Shaking his hands vigorously, oops, oops.

After Qiao'er found out, she said distressedly: "Oh, Childe, are you okay?" He stepped forward and boasted about the hand holding the little fish. It seems to relieve pain.

It doesn't really work, and the little fish feels a little better.

Ma Xiaoling asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yu'er shouted, "Someone has attacked us before us."

The little fish anxiously examined the burnt scrap of paper. Obviously, it was the remains of the will that Xiao Yu'er was desperate to find, and there was still a part of Zheng Fu's signature on it, but the terms of the will were missing.

The little fish suddenly collapsed to the ground with both feet. If they hadn't coped with it like this, his expression would have been even more amusing.

"I don't understand," he whispered, "who broke this will?" What are their motivations? ”

"Could it be Zheng Fu and his wife?" Ma Xiaoling guessed.

"Why? They don't get any benefit from doing so. If this place became the property of the government, they would prefer it to be owned by Miss Luo. Who would be in good interest in destroying this will? ”

"Maybe the old man changed his mind and destroyed the will himself," Qiao'er guessed.

Xiao Yu'er stood up and dusted off his knees with his usual care.

"Possibly." He admitted, "Maybe it's a sensible idea on your part, Qiao'er, well, we don't have much to do here." We have done our best, and we have succeeded in contesting this old gentleman with our wits. But unfortunately, his niece will not benefit from our success. ”

Xiao Yu'er looked sad and dissatisfied. As for Xiaoling and Qiao'er, they were exhausted. Punch tons in the wagon.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu'er screamed: "Wake up, Xiaoling!" Wake up, quick! Let's go back! ”

Ma Xiaoling hasn't figured out what's going on. The little fish called the carriage and went back.

"I'm a fool!" He shouted, "A complete fool! I'll never brag about my cleverness anymore! ”

Qiao'er said: "Childe, impulse is the devil, and he is angry and angry. "As usual. Xiao Yu'er only cared about doing what he wanted, and didn't care about her words at all.

"The merchant's ledger - how did I not think of that? Yes, but where is it? Don't be in a hurry. I can't be mistaken. We have to rush back right away. ”

When Xiao Yu'er rushed back to the "manor", it was already dawn. woke up Zheng Fu and his wife, and you can see their faces full of confusion.

Xiao Yu'er didn't explain anything to anyone, and hurried into the study. "I'm not just a complete fool, but a hundred percent fool, my friend," he said, "look here! Now I've finally found it!"

He walked straight to his desk, took out the key, and unwrapped the envelope. I stared blankly at him. How could he possibly hope to find a testamentary form of this size in such a small envelope? He cut the envelope with great care, laid it flat, and spread it out. He then lit a match and pointed the unwritten blank space of the envelope at the flames.

After a few minutes, the vague handwriting gradually revealed.

"Look, beauties!" The little fish let out a shout of triumph.

Ma Xiaoling and Qiao'er looked at it together, and they saw it. A few lines of vague handwriting appeared on it, briefly stating that he had left all his inheritance to his niece. It was noon on March 25 and the witnesses were Jiang Ke, the owner of the sweets, and his wife.

"But is it legal?" Xiao Ling asked with a pant.

As we all know, the laws of the Great Song Dynasty do not object to you writing your will with invisible mixed ink. The testator's intention is obvious, and the beneficiary is his only surviving relative. But he foresaw every step that the person searching the will would take. And I, this utter fool, fell into his trap step by step. He was given two forms of will and had the servant sign them twice. Then, he went out with his will written in a dirty envelope and the invisible ink in it.

He made up an excuse to get the owner of the sweet shop and his wife to sign their names under his own autograph. Then he folded the envelope and fastened it to the key on his desk, and looked at it triumphantly and chuckled to himself, for if his niece had seen through his tricks, she would have proved that her life choices were right, that she had been educated, and that she deserved his money. ”

"She didn't see through it, did she?" Qiao'er said slowly, "This seems to be extremely unreasonable, but in fact, the old man won." ”

"No, Qiao'er, your mind is turning the wrong way again. Miss Luo immediately entrusted the matter to me, which is a testament to her ingenuity and the importance of a woman's education. People always have to hire first-class experts to help them do important things. This clever act of hers is enough to prove that she is entitled to that money. ”

I was amazed by Xiao Yuer's grand theory, and I was very surprised, I don't know how Lao Luo under the Nine Springs would feel about this-
