Chapter 1558 Clues

How many eyes are watching him, openly or secretly? If there is any movement here, it will be easily over-interpreted.

Besides, he really has evil intentions!

"Just now, someone visited the villa through Fan Shuang and sold me black crystal worth 700,000 taels of silver. This person is a bit strange."

700,000 taels? Such a big order? Dong Rui ate the cake vaguely: "You see guests all day long, what's so special about this person?"

Yongquan Villa receives a lot of visiting cards every day. If ordinary people want to see He Lingchuan, they have to wait in line for at least ten years.

"He first bought the Fan family's land, and then came to the villa to find me through Fan Shuang's introduction."

"Smart people would do this, right?" Dong Rui took a sip of wine, "What's wrong with that?"

"The problem is that he doesn't seem to want to sell those black crystals." He Lingchuan also took a piece of cake to eat, "According to the market price, it should be around 550,000, but he insisted on 700,000. He doesn't have much sincerity."

"Then maybe he wants to sell it at a high price."

"I agreed to 700,000, and he was a little surprised." In fact, Tian Yun was right about one thing. If such high-quality black crystals were sold in bulk, the total price would only increase, not decrease. This is not like buying fruit in the market, where you can get wholesale prices if you buy more. "Besides, he is not very experienced in business negotiations. When we were having dinner, I asked him some common sense about the business world, but he was a little unfamiliar with his own chamber of commerce and did not know much about the market in Tianshui City. In general, this person does not look like an experienced businessman."

"Not experienced, but rich, at least with a lot of black crystals?"

"Yes. Assuming that his purpose is not simply to sell black crystals, then why did he come to me?" He Lingchuan pondered, "He also asked to get some spring water himself."

"Maybe he just wants to get close to you?"

"He behaves like he is trying to get close to you and build relationships, but the price is a bit high." The chips thrown out were black crystals worth 700,000.

Although He Lingchuan also paid, the other party did not suffer much.

The most important thing is that Tian Yun made He Lingchuan feel dangerous as soon as he appeared.

Although Tian Yun tried to cover up in many ways, He Lingchuan always felt that this person was constantly evaluating him.

"He's a little bit off."

He believed in his instincts honed on the battlefield, so he sent Wanqi Liang to follow Tian Yun to see which inn he was staying in and how many people were around him.

The situation was about to change, and He Lingchuan didn't want any surprises at this time.

"Okay, I'm going to take a bath." Dong Rui stood up and stretched. After so many days of seclusion, it seemed that a layer of mud could be rubbed off his body. "Leave me a braised pork elbow for dinner, stewed until it's soft and boneless."

He Lingchuan went to tell Wang Fubao to let Gulin check the background of the "Zhengxin Chamber of Commerce".

...

Since it's called Yongquan Villa, there must be a hot spring pool suitable for bathing. The water temperature is 43 degrees all year round. The colder the weather, the more comfortable it is to bathe.

Dong Rui soaked for half an hour until his bones and muscles were soft, and then he slowly climbed up.

Oh, it's refreshing, all 84,000 pores on his body are stretched out.

After soaking for a long time, his stomach began to growl.

At this moment, the braised pork elbow should be waiting for him in the small kitchen. Dong Rui walked out and was about to call in the two demon puppets guarding outside, but he saw the branches on the tree shaking and chirping -

These two guys are fighting for something?

The ghost ape and the bat are both fast, Dong Rui can't see clearly, so he can only look up and yell: "Hey, what are you doing!"

The two guys didn't give up and were still pulling. Dong Rui was annoyed and ordered: "All get down!"

The demon puppets rolled down obediently.

"Let me see!"

The ghost ape rolled his eyes at the bat fiercely, and then spread his palm under the eyes of his master.

There were two...

"Beetles?" Round, one green and one brown, one big and one small, but they were indeed beetles.

"What's so good about this thing?" Grab a handful of them in the villa.

He knew that beetles were indeed on the menu of ghost apes and bats. To them, it was just a snack. They didn't care about its nutrition, but they liked its crunch.

The bat chirped twice, and the ghost guess didn't want to be outdone, and also roared.

Another magic sound penetrated his brain.

Dong Rui's breath sank into his Dantian, and he shouted: "Shut up!"

These two things are actually not easy to worry about during non-combat time.

"You first!" He pointed at the ghost ape, "Tell me what's going on!"

According to the monkey, the bat found something delicious and had been stealing it just now, refusing to share it with it to taste.

"Delicious? What can two beetles be considered delicious?" These two things have been with him for a long time, and they have eaten all kinds of delicious food, even the Emperor Liujiang has been licked a lot, but now they are fighting for two beetles?

He knows how picky the ghost ape is. Dong Rui's heart moved, and he asked the monkey to turn the beetle in his palm over, with its belly facing up.

"This!" Dong Rui's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face suddenly became serious.

He asked the bat puppet: "Where did you catch them?"

The bat squeaked twice.

"At the entrance of the cave?!" Dong Rui's heart tightened. The bat actually caught these things at the entrance of his residence?

"Let's go back and look for them!"

At this moment, he didn't care about the big pork elbow anymore, and ran to his residence.

On the way, he met Yang Shan's guard, and he only said one sentence: "Tell He Lingchuan to come to the cave to find me, now, immediately, right away!"

Two quarters of an hour later, He Lingchuan arrived.

At the entrance of the mountain kiln, a dozen Yangshan guards squatted in the grass and climbed up the trees, as if they were looking for something.

He Lingchuan asked curiously: "What are they doing?"

Dong Rui poked his head out of the mountain kiln: "Come in, close the door!"

He Lingchuan did as he was told, and casually set up a barrier.

Dong Rui threw two beetles to He Lingchuan, his face as gloomy as water: "Trouble has come to the door. Look at these two things."

He Lingchuan took a look and found that this was no different from an ordinary beetle, and it was still dead. However, he turned the beetle over and saw a red line on its belly, extending all the way to the mouth.

Why does this red line look familiar?

Before He Lingchuan had time to think about it, Dong Rui handed him a transparent glass bottle.

In the bottle, there was a small blue beetle.

He Lingchuan took a look and saw that the abdomen of this blue beetle also had a long red line.

"Hey, isn't this, isn't this...?"

"This is the insect puppet that controlled the guards to attack Situ Yu in Yaopo!" Dong Rui said word by word, "We already know who its owner is."

It is the murderer who assassinated Situ Yu, and also the "father" in Xiao An's mouth.

It is another demon puppet master who has never appeared.

After Situ Yu was killed, Situ He came to find He Lingchuan and handed the bottle with the blue beetle to Dong Rui for research.

This thing is undoubtedly a demon puppet.
