Xu Minghao stuck out his tongue playfully. He just felt that the black pimple matter was mysterious and exciting, and he wanted to find out more about it. He didn't think much about it. Moreover, he also knew that there were secret guards protecting him, so he thought there would be no big deal.

danger.

"Third brother, I just think it's fun. Don't tell mother. Don't worry, I'll send the stupid guy home right away!" Xu Minghao promised immediately.

When Wei Ying heard that Xu Minghao was going to send him back, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, no!"

Seeing that Wei Ying was about to make a fuss in the street, Xu Minghao immediately comforted him and said: "Silly man, be obedient. I will buy you candied haws to eat later. My house will prepare delicious food in a few days. I will be outside the wall then.

Just like a cat meowing, you can crawl out of the dog hole, my mother's food is delicious!"

After hearing Xu Minghao say that he would send him delicious food, Wei Ying agreed to go home. Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Xu Minghan shook his head helplessly. Xu Minghao couldn't find a cat or a dog to make friends with.

Are you a normal person?

The two brothers of the Xu family did not send Wei Ying back through the gate, but let him crawl back through the dog hole. Who made Wei Ying look unpopular in Dingyuan Hou Mansion, fearing that he would sneak out of the house?

If you are punished, you should go back the way you came.

Then they saw that it was getting late, so the two of them returned to the General's Mansion. However, on the way, Xu Minghan asked Xu Minghao for the black lumps in the well, and he did not tell Lin Shuran about it.

But both of them forgot one thing, that is, the secret guards responsible for protecting them would regularly report their emergencies to Lin Shuran. That night, Lin Shuran knew about Liang Ji's coffin shop, but she did not immediately find him.

Xu Minghao confronted Xu Minghan, but asked the secret guard to report their whereabouts to her at any time.

In the next few days, Lin Shuran was busy preparing New Year's gifts for various governments. The children of the Xu family were also busy with their own affairs. According to reports from secret guards, Xu Minghao would sneak away every one or two days.

He went to deliver some food to Wei Ying outside the high wall of Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and the two seemed to have really become friends.

The strangest thing was Xu Minghan. He stayed alone at Liang Ji's Coffin Shop for two days, and then he tried his best to find out that the real owner of Liang Ji's Coffin Shop was called Liang Shunzhong. He was actually the second steward of Prince Ling's Mansion, not just from the Prince's Mansion.

A servant may have several shops outside, among which this coffin shop is one of his properties.

"What else did the third young master do?" When Lin Shuran heard what the secret guard said, she became more doubtful. Did Xu Minghan discover something?

The secret guard told Lin Shuran that Xu Minghan also went to the Fireworks Kitchen to get closer to an official from the Ministry of Justice.

Lin Shuran sent the secret guards back. She immediately sent Lingqin to Liang Ji's coffin shop and asked her to get a black lump from the deep well. Then she sent Mei Mei to secretly investigate Liang Shunzhong, the second housekeeper of Prince Ling's Mansion, and the official from the Ministry of Justice.

.

Soon, Lingqin came back. She had washed the black lump and gave it to Lin Shuran. Lin Shuran had seen this black lump once in the hands of Xu Minghao. According to the secret guard, Xu Minghan broke open the black lump and found a piece of gold inside.

So she asked Lingqin to break open the black lumps.

Lingqin took the black lump in her hand, and with a little internal force, the black lump split into two halves, and the small golden ball appeared intact in her hand, and then handed it to Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran held the little golden ball between her thumb and forefinger and looked at it carefully. There was real gold hidden in the black lump. How did Wei Ying, the foolish young master of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, discover such a thing? Did he put this thing on purpose or not?

For Xu Minghao? The most important thing is, why did Xu Minghan know that there was something else in it? And the thing hiding gold was actually related to the second housekeeper of Prince Ling's Mansion. Xu Minghan seemed to be very concerned about this, and why?

?Is it possible that the gold is related to the Ren family’s case?

The more Lin Shuran thought about it, the more unusual this matter became. It seemed that the answers to some questions could really only be asked to Xu Minghan face to face. Since this child already knew his true identity, now for him, he could devote his mind to it.

The only thing that matters is the Ren family's case.

After dawn, after breakfast, Lin Shuran called Xu Minghan to him and screened away the others. There were only two in the room, mother and son.

Xu Minghan stood in front of Lin Shuran. He always felt that Lin Shuran was a bit serious today. Her originally gentle eyes were looking at him seriously now.

"Mom, did I do something to make you angry?" Xu Minghan lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Could it be that Lin Shuran noticed what he had done recently?

Lin Shuran looked at him intently, then took out the little golden ball from last night and put it in the palm of his hand. Xu Minghan was startled when he saw this scene, and instantly understood that Lin Shuran probably knew everything. His eyes dodged a little, and his mouth moved.

Close it tightly.

"Brother Han, have you seen this thing a long time ago? For example, when you were young, or someone showed it to you?" Lin Shuran thought for a night about the reason why Xu Minghan was so attracted to this little thing.

, he must have had an extraordinary relationship with him, and this child has always hidden his thoughts deeply. If he didn't ask face to face, he would definitely not take the initiative to tell.

Xu Minghan was shocked by Lin Shuran's insight. He looked at her with an unexpected expression. Under the attention of Lin Shuran's earnest eyes, he nodded slowly.

"I remembered that someone played with me with such a little golden ball when I was a child, but I couldn't remember the person's appearance clearly. I only remember that there were many such little golden balls. I don't know if this little golden ball is the same as the little golden ball in my memory.

Relationship, I'm just curious whether they are related to the Ren family!" Xu Minghan said honestly to Lin Shuran.

In fact, not only Xu Minghan thought this way, but even Lin Shuran thought so after hearing this, because Prince Ling was also involved in the Ren family's case, and it was he and Fang Laoyushi who were responsible for confiscating the Ren family's property, although most of the Ren family's property was confiscated.

The family property was returned to the imperial court, but there were still many things that were not recorded or even missing, such as the Ren family's nine gold pagodas and huge silver.

How could it be such a coincidence that the little golden ball in Xu Minghan's memory is so similar to the one in the deep well of the second housekeeper's shop in Prince Ling's mansion? How to prove whether this little golden ball is related to the Ren family?

The little golden ball was very smooth and had no markings, so it could not be said that it must belong to the Ren family. Lin Shuran thought about it and decided to find someone who was more familiar with the Ren family than she and Xu Minghan. This person was the fifth uncle.

When she came to the farm to find Uncle Wu again, Lin Shuran didn't mince words, she took out the little golden ball and asked him: "Uncle Wu, have you ever seen anyone use gold like this in the world?"

When Uncle Wu saw the little golden ball, surprise flashed across his face. After taking it, he looked around, nodded, and said, "It's very similar!"
