Their Lucky Star Was Transmigrated! Chapter 22: Fortune and misfortune
On the way home, Mr. Xu was jumping with a load of firewood, while Mr. Xu was leisurely carrying a basket and a chopping knife. However, if someone observes carefully, they will find that the old man is a little nervous now.
He holds the hatchet in his hand, which is already sweaty.
It was not a long road before, but in the eyes of Mr. Xu, it is really a bit long.
In his basket, at the bottom is this sandalwood box, on which are some herbs and mushrooms picked.
At this time, Mr. Xu was really afraid that someone would come out and **** the treasure from him.
Fortunately, nothing happened until I got home.
Old Master Xu entered the house, instead of throwing the basket in the yard as usual, he carried the basket into the main room.
Chou shi, who originally came out of the kitchen and was about to take the basket from the old man's hand, was stunned. When she recovered, the old man Xu had already walked into the main room.
"Daughter-in-law!"
Mr. Xu excitedly rushed to Mrs. Xu who had just returned to the house, "I'll show you something good!"
Then the old man put the sandalwood box in the basket in front of Mrs. Xu.
A box of jewelry, Mrs. Xu was also stunned.
"Where did this, this, come from?"
"I picked it up in the mountains, and the copper locks outside are rusted. They must be some years old!"
Mr. Xu laughed, "Now, our family is really rich!"
Old Mrs. Xu didn't talk to her, but picked up the jewelry in the box and took a look.
After just watching for a while, Mrs. Xu threw away the jewelry in her hand and said, "The head of the family, this thing can't be kept!"
"What's wrong?"
"Look at that mark!"
"What's up with the tag?"
Old man Xu picked up a hairpin and carefully checked the mark on the end of the hairpin. The expression on the old man's face also changed.
"This is a thief!"
"No!"
Old Mrs. Xu nodded.
"Fortunately, we saw the notice in the county seat, otherwise, this time it would really be a disaster!"
"Bless the ancestors!"
Mr. Xu folded his hands together, and was also afraid.
Twenty years ago, a major incident occurred in Wangjiang County. Jiang Chengfu's congratulations to the present His Majesty's enthronement were robbed in transit, and all the officers and soldiers who escorted the congratulations were killed.
This is a big case that has spread throughout the dynasty.
The new emperor ascended the throne. Hearing this news, he directly dispatched a large army into the territory of Jiangchengfu, killing people with rolling heads and rivers of blood.
All the cottages and bandits in Jiangcheng Prefecture were swept away.
However, there is still no clue about the stolen gift. It's not that the robbers were not found, but that the robbers were all remnants of the previous dynasty, and would rather die than reveal the hiding place of the congratulations.
"Master, you say, those things should be hidden in the back mountain of our Lingshui Village?"
"I remember that at that time, the mountain behind our village turned over to be a cottage!"
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu in amazement.
Old Master Xu was silent for a long time, then said slowly, "Daughter-in-law, do you want to go to the government to report? It is said that the court's reward has always been there!"
"Go!"
Old Mrs. Xu thought for a while, "Today, the two of you met in the wood chopping area, and maybe others will go there in the future. If someone else finds something and causes trouble, we will be implicated for nothing! "
"Yes, then, tomorrow, no, I'll go to the city today!"
"Head of the family, you wait first, you said, we're going to report, those people from the previous dynasty, will they trouble us?"
