Chapter 457 (1/2)

With that, the old man did not continue to delay, but groped at the bottom of the box for a while, and then picked out a small piece of wood.

Then, in front of the crowd, he inserted the wooden board into the lock hole. Please rotate it, and the wooden box made a ”click” sound. Then, he easily opened the lid of the wooden box.

As old Qi opened the wooden box, the crowd also let out a ”Yi”.

Because that wooden box is different from other boxes. The wall of the box is one inch thick.

Xiao Ruixuan could not help but wonder: ”what kind of wood is this box made of? Why is the box so thick, but it's not heavy? ”

”Because it's just a hollow one.” The Qi old man knocked on the wall of the box with his hand and made a sound of ”悾 悾”. I filled the box with phosphorous powder. If someone forcibly dismantled the box, the phosphorous powder would ignite the contents of the box and burn the articles stored in it

Jiang Wan's interest greatly increased.

Where is this wooden box? It's like a safe!

”And what's in it?” Jiang Wan could not stop asking.

Everyone is also curious.

Only some gold, silver and jewels were in the box.

If in the eyes of ordinary people, to see these jewelry, naturally will feel excited.

But in Xiao Ruixuan's eyes, they were extremely disappointed.

Looking at Xiao Ruixuan's disappointed look, the old man shook his head and reached out to lift up the layer with the jewels.

It was only then that they found that there was a sandwich in the box.

As soon as the old man fished out his hand, he took out a bundle of bound letters from the box, handed them to Xiao Ruixuan and said, ”see if this is what you are looking for?”

Xiao Ruixuan opened a letter casually, took out the letter and read it.

But the more he looked, the more heavy his face became.

As soon as he saw Xiao Ruixuan's look, he didn't say much. Instead, he said with a smile to Uncle Cai: ”what brother Cai told him to do has been finished. I'll leave now.”

The financial uncle first took a look at Xiao Ruixuan. Seeing that Xiao Ruixuan nodded, he said with a smile, ”it's rare for you and me to meet each other. Today, I'm the host. How about inviting my brother to Chunxi building to have a good meal?”

The Qi old man naturally refused, but the financial uncle held his shoulder, and they went out laughing.

Seeing that the uncle took Qi away, Jiang Wan came to Xiao Ruixuan and said, ”who wrote this letter to whom? What's it all about? Why do you look so pale? ”

But Xiao Ruixuan didn't speak. Instead, he handed the letters directly to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan took the letter and read it. He found that it was not so much a letter as an account paper.

However, what was recorded on the paper was not money, but the ”bad habits” of some officials in the current Dynasty.

Jiang Wan tore down two letters at random, and found that the Minister of culture and military of the Manchu Dynasty was either corrupt and bent the law, or robbed the women of the people. Under these atrocities, it seemed that it was nothing to do with nostalgia for qingfulou. Jiang Wan said coldly, ”is there my uncle or my father?”

Xiao Ruixuan shook his head, looked at the open mezzanine box and said, ”there are so many letters. It's hard to avoid them.”

Jiang Wan was silent.

Who is deliberately collecting these?
