Chapter 438 Qinghuazhuang Sign-in
Some people were happy, some were beating their chests and stamping their feet, and some were watching the show.
"Someone must have taken action just now!" Tong Huaian glanced at the people present, looking for anyone with suspicious behavior.
"I just saw a man who looked like a servant with a strange look on his face. He went to that room. Since someone has placed a bet, there must be someone who doesn't want the boy to lose, after all, the odds are higher."
Jiang Youzhen calmly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. She wouldn't admit it anyway.
The leopard was obviously a little scared just now, but suddenly it became very brave, and its eyes were a little red. There must be drugs on the hidden weapon that the servant put to his mouth to stimulate his animal nature.
With three times the odds, how could the owner not be tempted? The owner of Qinghua Manor not only wanted a commission, but also wanted more compensation from the gamblers, which showed how greedy he was.
"Oh?" Tong Huaian suddenly looked at Jiang Youzhen, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"But this matter has nothing to do with us, so we'd better not get involved, so as not to bring trouble upon ourselves." Jiang Youzhen had already seen that Manager Wei was looking around with a dark face.
"What you said makes sense. It's better to have less trouble than more!" Tong Huaian nodded.
"Everyone! Today's competition has ended. After the calculation is clear, the settlement will be made to you. Please be patient!"
As Manager Wei said this, he ordered people to open the cage and take away the bodies of the young man and the beast.
He called the leader of the thugs in the village, "Chengda, why do I feel something is wrong?"
"It's impossible for Fan to kill the leopard so easily. Don't touch the leopard's body for now. I need someone to take a look!"
Manager Wei had just seen with his own eyes the servants inserting the poison needle into the leopard's body. The leopard went crazy because of the drug, but the leopard's behavior afterwards was obviously wrong. How could it be killed so easily by Faner?
"I said before that the drug was not right, and Doctor Li said that we have to continue the experiment. Maybe the leopard couldn't bear its strong effect, and after the drug took effect, its body was a little out of control, right?"
The leader of the thugs named Ah Cheng certainly knew the inside story, so he gave a reminder.
"The biggest bet today is only tens of thousands of taels. That man is from Jiangnan and has a huge fortune. He probably won't challenge the authority of Qinghua Manor for such a small amount of money."
Ah Cheng felt that Manager Wei was too cautious. The medicine was just a semi-finished product, so it was normal for something to go wrong.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but money can make a person happy, and a little bit of it adds up to a lot. This time it adds up to two or three hundred thousand taels of silver. Let's carry the leopard to Wenqing Garden, and I'll have someone check it before I can rest assured!"
Steward Wei said, "Today a special guest is coming. The boss said that he is very important. He has been arranged in Wenhua Garden. Send more people to guard him."
"Yes!" Ah Cheng took the order and went.
"Let's continue eating! Didn't you say you wanted to mix the crab roe with noodles? I'll ask them to bring a bowl of noodles!" Tong Huaian pulled Jiang Youzhen to sit at the table, intending to order a few more dishes, as the food on the table was already cold.
Jiang Youzhen felt that he had aroused Wei's suspicion, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet. Excuse me first!"
There were five silver spikes on the plate just now, but now two are missing. If Manager Wei interrogates her later, she will have a hard time explaining.
Glancing at the top of the ring, the young man had collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. Some people around the ring were cheering, shouting that they had made a fortune, and many others were cursing.
Soon, the boy and the beast were carried away, and the cage was also evacuated. Although everyone was still reluctant to leave, they returned to their own rooms.
"Wait for me, let's go together!" Wen Ruyu had just drunk a lot of tea because of nervousness, so he stood up and planned to go together.
"no!"
“It’s a bit inconvenient!”
Two voices came at the same time. Jiang Youzhen glanced at Tong Huaian, somewhat confused.
She was going to steal a chisel, so naturally she couldn't let Wen Ruyu follow her. Then why did Tong Huaian do that?
"I also need to go to the toilet later. Junior Brother Wen, why don't you stay with me?" Tong Huaian said.
"Ah?" Jiang Youzhen was stunned. This reason was simply too powerful.
Haha! I don't believe you! Wen Ruyu twitched his face. Should they go to the toilet together? Or should he not be allowed to go to the toilet with Jiang Youzhen?
"It's really going to rain. Since Brother Huai'an needs someone to accompany him, I'll go first!" Jiang Youzhen didn't care why the two were like this. He had to hurry and steal the chisel.
Jiang Youzhen walked in a hurry. As soon as he walked out of the wing room, a maid came forward to lead the way.
"No need to bother, just tell me where the Gongfang is!"
Seeing that the maid was about to follow, Jiang Youzhen waved his hand and said it again in a firm tone.
Qinghua Manor is very big, I heard it has more than a thousand acres, and the villas inside are also quite large.
Jiang Youzhen walked forward along the path pointed by the maid, observing as he walked. The silver chisel should be in the kitchen, but there must be someone in the kitchen at this moment.
Then she had to try her luck in other rooms, preferably ones that were empty, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.
It was because she didn't have the right tool just now, and the silver chisel was very thin and easy to use.
"Tongzi! Look at you, how come you don't even have a hidden weapon? You are so poor!" Jiang Youzhen was a little dissatisfied. If she had a hidden weapon, why would she be so passive?
It seems that I have to find some hidden weapons when I go back, just in case. Fortunately, my brother-in-law is a blacksmith, but I don't know if he can do this kind of delicate work.
System: Whenever the host needs something, it must be taken out and whipped.
Not knowing where the boy was being held, Jiang Youzhen was thinking about finding an opportunity to get him out later.
Talents are hard to find! Although those young men and women who were bought worked hard and some of them were talented and learned quickly, the time was too short. Without three to five years, they would definitely not be able to take on important tasks.
But this young man is different. From what we can see, he doesn’t have any skills or martial arts moves, but he has great strength!
Generally, the kitchen is not too far away, and with so many guests, the kitchen should be very large.
It happened to be dinner time, and delicious food was being cooked in the kitchen, the aroma soon wafting over.
Jiang Youzhen quickened his pace, looked forward, and found that there were still too many people.
Forget it! The kitchen is not good enough, but I don’t know if there is any in these rooms.
Jiang Youzhen found an empty room and went in to take a look, only to discover that there was nothing on the table.
She closed the door and was about to go to another room, but suddenly she thought that Luo Dan's room was empty. He must have left.
He left early and the leopard died after he left, so the blame cannot be traced to him.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly had an idea. He ran quickly, avoiding people along the way, and sneaked to Luodan's room.
After making sure that there was no one guarding the room, Jiang Youzhen pushed the door open and went in. The food on the table was still there, but there was no one in the room.
Jiang Youzhen saw the silver chisels at a glance, stepped forward, took two and put them in his sleeves.
Just as I was about to leave, a prompt sounded from the system.
[System release task: Host, please go to Wenqingyuan and Wenhuayuan to sign in! ]
