Chapter 45 Win or Lose

In the second half of the night, Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu drove a horse-drawn carriage to a hidden location in Zi Lan Xuan.

After getting off the carriage, Zi Nu breathed a sigh of relief.

In the carriage, Cheng Jiao told her jokes in all seriousness and they bet on who could stop laughing first.

She almost couldn't hold it in, luckily Cheng Jiao couldn't hold it in first.

Just because she asked what "Just because you are so beautiful" meant.

Cheng Jiao's skills were immediately broken, and he almost improvised a singing and dancing performance of Kun Quan Sword!

Wei Zhuang held the shark tooth in his hand and looked at Zi Nu with cold eyes, asking her to give an explanation.

There is a secret passage in Zi Lan Xuan that leads directly to the interior of Zi Lan Xuan, and no one knows about it except him and Zi Nu.

Now that Zi Nu has brought Cheng Jiao in, there are only two choices.

First, Cheng Jiao is already a trustworthy partner. Second,
"Don't worry, there's no need to destroy this secret passage. Master Cheng Jiao has brought the money."

Zi Nu deliberately concealed the specific amount.

"Zi Lan Xuan is not short of money!" Wei Zhuang watched Cheng Jiao carry down the cash box full of gold coins.

With his eyesight, he could tell from the force Cheng Jiao exerted and the sound of the box being put down that this was the weight of a full box of gold coins.

A box of gold coins, two thousand pieces were not enough for Wei Zhuang to take it seriously.

Zi Nu smiled and said nothing.

Cheng Jiao carried down a box of gold coins and took a few breaths. It was so damn heavy!

It was like a big bag of fertilizer and cement, very heavy.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, don't just stand there, hurry up, there are still more than 20 boxes!"

He waved to Wei Zhuang, signaling Wei Zhuang to come over quickly.

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly at first, then said: Hmm?

"More than twenty boxes? Did you recover the 100,000 gold military pay that Ji Wuye hid?"

Wei Zhuang was shocked and forced himself to calm down.

Reason told me that the most likely scenario was that Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu found the military pay.

"What military pay? Oh! Stop asking, just come and move in!"

Cheng Jiao was not concerned about the psychological shock Wei Zhuang suffered.

It was the first time Zi Nu saw Wei Zhuang's brief loss of composure, and it was quite amusing.

Next, Cheng Jiao felt comfortable. Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang each carried two boxes, and soon they moved the twenty-five boxes of gold coins in the car to the secret room of Zi Lan Xuan.

The three of them knelt in the private room where Wei Zhuang often enjoyed the scenery.

"what happened?"

Zi Nu knew Wei Zhuang's character, so she stopped playing tricks and told him everything she knew.

"Where did Liu Yi get the gold coins?" Wei Zhuang was puzzled.

"The treasure of Lord Huoyu." Cheng Jiao drank the Snow-Top Silver Shuttle that Zi Nu had personally brewed for him, and drank it happily.

"Baiyue Fire Rain Villa?"

"That's right, Liu Yi got it back then. Ji Wuye didn't know."

"If Ji Wuye had any doubts, Liu Yi would not be alive today."

"That's true."

"You got this money by cooperating with Ji Wuye to bleed the Korean nobles."

After a brief silence, Wei Zhuang expressed his judgment.

Zi Nu stood up and poured Cheng Jiao another cup of hot water, and the tea leaves that had fallen to the bottom floated up again.

"Brother Wei Zhuang is smart, that's true."

"Then why do you want to move the money back to Zi Lan Xuan?"

Wei Zhuang asked about the doubts in his mind. He knew about Cheng Jiao’s fund-raising fraud scam, and the principal could not be moved at will at the beginning.

Moreover, dividends need to be distributed every once in a while to keep the scam going.

Cheng Jiao touched Zi Nu's white little hand that was massaging his shoulders.

"This is my betrothal gift to Zi Nu."

Zi Nu smiled brightly, picked up the snacks on the table and fed them to Cheng Jiao.

"enemy."

Wei Zhuang closed his eyes, not wanting to be hit any more. Seeing Wei Zhuang remained silent, Zi Nu gently pushed Cheng Jiao.

"Tell me quickly, do you want to take this money and return it?"

Cheng Jiao scratched Zi Nu's palm.

"It's simple. Liu Yi's money is not worth showing off."

"Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Wei Zhuang had already stood up and was standing in a familiar place, looking at the gloomy night scene outside the window.

"The fish will die, but the net will not break."

"Who are you going to let kill him?"

"Ji Wuye."

Wei Zhuang's eyes narrowed, and he turned around and looked directly at Cheng Jiao.

"You think I'm stupid?"

Cheng Jiao said seriously at this time: "It is indeed Ji Wuye. To be more precise, it is the killer of Bai Niao under Ji Wuye."

Wei Zhuang stopped talking and waited quietly for Cheng Jiao's next words.

Cheng Jiao slowly told the whole story, except for concealing his improper relationship with Mrs. Hu, which was a must!

"Li Kai, the former Right Sima, is the killer vulture of Bai Niao. It's interesting. It seems that the past of Baiyue can no longer be hidden."

Wei Zhuang muttered to himself.

"Why are you so sure that Vulture will kill Liu Yi?"

Wei Zhuang sorted out the ins and outs of the matter and asked about the key to the matter.

"Treasure, betrayal and hatred."

Cheng Jiao very elegantly uttered three words that were relevant in almost every story.

This is the line he learned from Empress Xuanji.

"interesting."

Wei Zhuang looked at the inky black night sky.

Cheng Jiao thought that he would come over to protect his sister Nongyu when the time comes, although it might be the other way around.

The vulture listened to the scorpion's report.

A few days ago, he searched the house thoroughly in the middle of the night when Liu Yi was not at home, and unexpectedly met Li Kai from that year. After he turned around and left Liu's house, he asked Poison Scorpion to send people to capture Li Kai that night, but there is still no news until now.

After enduring humiliation for so many years, he finally had some freedom to move around. Whenever he had time in the past few months, he kept an eye on Liu Yi's actions, trying to find the whereabouts of the treasure.

He struggled a little. If he continued, he would expose his ulterior motives in front of Ji Wuye. However, he still hadn't got the treasure for more than ten years, and he was unwilling to give up!
"Keep looking!"

The poisonous scorpion obeyed the order.

The person he looked for to back him was Bainiao, a subordinate of Ji Wuye, and the person in charge of him was Vulture.

Vulture was a little gloomy. He recalled the information he had collected about Liu Yi, trying to find some clues from it.

After Wei Zhuang left, Cheng Jiao became bolder and Zi Nu became more relaxed.

The two of them snuggled together, loving each other.

Zi Nu couldn't resist Cheng Jiao's little actions at all.

She enjoyed that special feeling and the spiritual comfort that made her addicted.

Cheng Jiao gradually began to act recklessly, making Zi Nu want to give him the cold shoulder.

"Behave yourself"

Zi Nu had seen many things like that, and although it was her first time, she didn't resist.

However, just as Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu took a step further, an ethereal voice came in.

"Sister Zi Nu, are you in there? The young master wants to listen to the zither, and I'm ready."

Zi Nu's ignited passion quickly subsided, and she looked at Cheng Jiao with resentment.

Cheng Jiao was also helpless. He won the bet and got 100,000 gold. Zi Nu also kept her promise and invited Nong Yu to play the piano.

But now, is he a winner or a loser?

When Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu were looking at each other affectionately, they did not know that Mo Ya was already standing quietly on a roof somewhere, ready to start his hunting.
