Chapter 12: Taking Treasure Clues
"Do you have any ideas about the repeated thieves in our Wanfu? Even though we speak freely, we can only come up with better solutions to the thieves." Chang Yiyi wanted to learn more about the Canzhu Medical Book through the mouths of everyone, and maybe she could take the opportunity to find out who was thinking about this Canzhu Medical Book.
"I feel that Wan Mansion will have to patrol more in the future, increase the number of people and times at night at night, and must catch this thief. Today, I almost ruined my wife's fetus. I must avenge this revenge." The eldest young master Wan Xiulu said.
"I would like to thank my third sister for what happened today, otherwise that demonic Taoist would really harm my child. I will salute you here." The eldest young lady was still scared of what happened just now, and was grateful to Chang Yiyi for being able to rescue her in time.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. We are all a family, it should be, it should be." Chang Yiyi responded embarrassedly.
"I feel that if we want to catch this thief, we must think of a good way. At present, the thief cannot find the treasure they want to steal, so they come to search for it many times. I think dad should lead the snake out of the hole. You might as well tell us the place where the treasure is hidden, so that we can catch the thief in a purposeful and targeted manner." The second young master Wan Xiucai suggested.
"My husband is right. This will attract thieves. Only by catching the thieves will our ten thousand mansions be safe." Second young master's grandmother Wang Lina agreed.
"No, it's too risky to do this. This treasure is my father's beloved thing. It's priceless. How can I publish the hiding place? Maybe in this way, it will attract more attention from thieves, and will bring greater crises and troubles to our Wan Mansion." Wan Xiuping, the youngest daughter of Wan Mansion, opposed.
"The little girl is right. It's too risky and undesirable to do this." Mr. Wan also disagrees with the disclosure of the treasure hiding place.
"Xiaobai, it's your turn to say, what do you think?" Chang Yiyi reminded her when she saw her son-in-law who had been silent.
"I feel that my second brother's plan is very good. Although it is a bit risky, as long as we strengthen our guards and do not give the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it. As long as we can catch the thief and then put the treasure back on, isn't that the most effective way to solve my ten thousand houses?" Bai Yang, the son-in-law, expressed his opinion.
"In this way, there are still risks. If you want to say that you should just sell the treasure. Over the years, countless people have been thinking about this treasure in our Wanfu, which has also brought too much trouble to our Wanfu. It would be more appropriate to exchange it for silver." The eldest lady suggested.
"This time I agree with my elder sister. If the master agrees, I will let Tian'er go through the yamen and find a rich buyer. The treasure is not in our hands. There is no need to worry about thieves coming to harass him in the future." The second wife also expressed her positive attitude.
"Shut up! You are a prodigal family. This is a prodigal family. This is the treasure of our Wan Mansion. No one wants to deal with it privately unless I die." Mr. Wan was extremely angry when he heard someone think of a way to sell the treasure. His beard kept shaking with his cheeks.
"Lao Wan, calm, calm. Since it is difficult for us to unify our opinions on dealing with thieves, we have to maintain the status quo, especially at night to strengthen escorts and patrols. At the same time, I would like to tell you a little secret. The King of Hell asked me to thank Butler Lin. If Butler Lin hadn't pretended to be confused in the mansion these days, deliberately loosen the inside and tighten the inside, and secretly observing the thieves' movements, the treasure might have been stolen." Chang Yiyi said this just to help Rui Zhi cover up his abnormal behavior of knowing nothing, and at the same time, she also helped Rui Zhi establish loyalty and prestige in Master Wan's mind.
"Butler Lin, I blame you a few days ago. I made you wrong and almost killed you in the dry well. I will apologize to you." After Master Wan learned the truth, he quickly apologized to Rui Zhi.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Mr. Wan is polite. This is what a villain should do." Rui Zhi responded happily.
"Third daughter-in-law, since you have returned to our Wan Mansion safely, let Xiao Zi continue to serve you from now on. I will arrange for the servants to go to the yamen to tell Tian'er and let him go back to the house to spend the night tonight." Mr. Wan discussed.
"Lao Wan, don't force me. After all, my husband is a yamen's tolerance. He should first put his work first. This is also the most basic professional ethics of a civil servant. When he has time, he will go home by himself. Besides, I am idle at home and you can go to the yamen to find him." Chang Yiyi quickly stopped him tactfully.
"Okay, okay, it's up to the daughter-in-law." Although Mr. Wan seemed to understand Chang Yiyi's words, he still understood the general meaning.
"Finally, I want to make a major decision. Today, the demonic path collided with the heavens, and the heavens got angry. Now the demonic path has been driven away, but I just saved the 'Divine Fire'. I plan to give this 'Divine Fire' to Lao Wan for free. On the one hand, it can drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and on the other hand, it can also light candles and dry firewood in the room."
As he said that, Chang Yiyi handed her lighter to Mr. Wan with both hands.
"It's so good, so good, my daughter-in-law is determined to be able to hand over such a precious treasure of "Divine Fire" to me. It's my blessing." Mr. Wan was so excited that he almost burst into tears after taking the so-called "Divine Fire". He lived for most of his life and had never seen such a magical treasure.
"Lao Wan, I will teach you how to use divine fire. Just hold it down here and the divine fire can be sprayed out. After letting go of your hand, the divine fire will disappear immediately." Chang Yiyi taught Mr. Wan how to use a lighter, which made Mr. Wan even more grateful. It would be strange if such a capable and sensible daughter-in-law is unhappy.
"Okay, the first family democracy conference ends here. Let's go all out. Butler Lin comes to my room and I need to explain the security work of Wanfu in person." Chang Yiyi could not find out the whereabouts of Canzhu Medical Book, so she had to leave and wait for the opportunity.
Everyone returned to their jobs, and Rui Zhi followed Chang Yiyi to the room.
"Yiyi, you are so good. You actually used a lighter to coax the whole family around." Rui Zhi closed the door and said in admiration.
"I was also a sudden idea. I originally wanted to use my positive energy to clean up the demonic path that pretended to be a god, but then I thought that this would definitely scare the Wanfu family. If everyone avoided me and was afraid of me, it would be inconvenient for me to find out the whereabouts of Canzhu Medical Book in the future. I happened to use this lighter to win over the old man. After all, only he knows where Canzhu Medical Book is hidden." Chang Yiyi explained.
"You are still thoughtful, so you have become the hero in everyone's hearts. Fortunately, you brought the lighter back from the school." Rui Zhi said with gratitude.
"I brought several lighters back. I originally thought that in ancient times, there were no electric lights, and the lighting was all based on candles. I used a few lighters to light them. I didn't expect that it would be useful today. I also brought a solar flashlight. In the future, we can order something sneaky." Chang Yiyi said proudly.
"Then what does it mean to hold this family meeting?" Rui Zhi asked.
"I just want to learn more about the whereabouts of Canzhu Medical Book, and let you and me get to know these people formally, otherwise we will easily reveal it, especially for you, you are the butler of Wanfu, you don't know anything, and many people don't know it. It's inconvenient to do it. I just take the opportunity to help you gain a little prestige and don't let the old man cause trouble for you all day long." Chang Yiyi explained.
"Thank you Yiyi. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything." Rui Zhi said with confidence.
