Chapter 24 My gold is poisoned!
Zhao Tianya was so angry!
He slammed the table and stood up suddenly:
"I don't agree with this!"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Wanjun looked up in surprise.
Huang Shuya was speechless.
Zhao Tianya's face was filled with rage:
"Wanjun! This kid is so tactless!"
"He is a weakling, as frail as a pickled eggplant. No matter if he has any background or not, I don't agree to this marriage!"
Huang Shuya quickly grabbed Zhao Tianya and said, "Little brother, don't mind. My husband used to be a military commander and has a bad temper..."
"Also, Wanjun, your vision, ah... Mother can't say anything."
Li Yuan: ???
Zhao Wanjun: ???
After a while.
“Hahahahaha, so that’s how it is!”
Zhao Tianya laughed heartily, as if he had let go of a heavy worry.
It turns out to be official business!
On the side, Zhao Wanjun's cheeks flushed: "What are you thinking about!"
Huang Shuya also covered her mouth and chuckled: "Your father is the most worried about your affairs. He is afraid that you will bring a husband back directly."
"Yes! This skinny, weak man, who has no manners and always talks nonsense, I, your father, absolutely cannot agree to it!"
Zhao Tianya ate his meal with big mouthfuls and smiled brightly.
Li Yuan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"No, I'm really not pretending..."
The other reviews don't matter, but...
He was a stay-at-home before he traveled through time. Although he lacked exercise, he could not tolerate being called weak!
Zhao Tianya and Huang Shuya turned back at the same time: "Oh, look at us, we are so outspoken..."
"Come on, come on, kid, eat more meat to replenish your body!"
Zhao Tianya hurriedly picked up some dishes and added rice for Li Yuan.
They were afraid that after Li Yuan left, others would see him and say that the Zhao family did not feed their guests enough.
Li Yuan's mouth twitched slightly: How can I say that I speak my mind...
Holding a big bowl of rice in his hands, Li Yuan was speechless.
"No, I've already finished eating..."
"Come on, come on, eat, eat!" Zhao Tianya's eyes were smiling, and he couldn't hear what Li Yuan said.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became cheerful, and Huang Shuya even began to feel sorry for Li Yuan.
"Look at how weak this child is! His family must be in trouble and he has never taken care of his body!"
Zhao Tianya nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Madam, let's give him some of the ginseng we have at home!"
Huang Shuya rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Ginseng King is a powerful medicine. This child is so weak, he needs some herbs to replenish his qi and blood..."
Zhao Tianya sighed: "Yes, I haven't seen such a weak young man in many years. We have to be nice to him! Otherwise, he won't have the energy to help Wanjun with work..."
Li Yuan: ......
The dinner, with the topic going a little off track, finally ended.
Zhao Wanjun also roughly formulated a plan to set the trap.
Several people gathered together to discuss, and finally decided: use Zhao's house as a trap to lure the thief in!
Zhao Wanjun did not trust any official in the city. Since he had to use a plan, he might as well let his own family do it!
And is it possible that Zhao Tianya is in collusion with the thief?
Zhao Wanjun glanced at his father who was still smiling foolishly and shook his head.
I am a very simple old man. It is good enough if I am not cheated by others. How could I collude with thieves to cheat others?
A few days passed.
Zhao Tianya walked out of the house with a swagger, accompanied by Huang Shuya.
The two went to a busy street and bought some gold jewelry.
A few days later, the thief struck again and stole gold and women's interior decoration from a wealthy family.
Zhao Wanjun made a public statement: We will conduct a rigorous investigation and catch the thief as soon as possible!
She also said: "The thief was cowardly and behaved in a vulgar way. He must be a scoundrel. If a woman's interior is stolen, don't worry too much. Just think of it as a dog taking it away!"
These are some of Li Yuanjiao's little irritating words.
After some time, Zhao Tianya took his wife out, avoiding public view, and secretly exchanged a large amount of silver for gold.
While chatting with his wife, he cautiously stated:
"Gold has been stolen severely, the market is short of gold, and the price is gradually rising. If we secretly collect some gold now, we will definitely make a fortune in the future!"
Such "whispering" was naturally also quietly passed to the ears of certain people.
A few days later, the thief succeeded again.
Leaving a note: Zhao Siya’s words are sharp, but catching me is wishful thinking!
After Zhao Wanjun found out, he immediately spoke to the crowd:
"The thief is barking like a dog, he's already scared of the government office!"
After a while, Zhao's father and mother went out and exchanged another sum of gold.
At the same time, Zhao's mother bought some women's personal items.
In the city, the Yun Mansion suddenly hung up white silk and started holding a funeral.
When Li Yuan found out, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
The fat man Yun Fugui had all his life span reduced, and he really went to the underworld to line up and turn around in circles.
Zhao Wanjun has always been active in the public eye, wandering around the homes of various victims, as if he is investigating the thief fiercely.
The yamen runners have been under a lot of pressure recently. Zhao Siya is in a bad mood and has been mobilizing them to look for clues.
Zhao Wanjun also made some contemptuous remarks about the thief from time to time, and his words were quite tricky and sharp.
But it gives people a feeling of helplessness.
Because the thief's attacks became more and more frequent, as if he was angered by those words.
And Li Yuan seemed to have disappeared.
However, no one paid attention to this stranger.
In fact, he has always been in Zhao's house...
Poisoned.
Zhao Wanjun secretly got a special poison, and Li Yuan was smearing it evenly on the gold.
There were some unworn women's underwear next to them. Li Yuan crumpled them slightly, sprinkled some flower petals on them to add fragrance, and then...
Continue to poison.
A few days later, the roof of the Zhao family was leaking, so they hired a tiler to repair the roof.
As soon as the bricklayer came in, he was taken to have tea. Li Yuan pretended to be a bricklayer and worked on the roof under the scorching sun...
Temper another kind of poison.
By the time all this was ready, a full month had passed since the discussion.
It took a whole month just to set up this poisonous scheme.
At this moment, the amount of gold stored by the Zhao family was already among the largest among the wealthy families in the capital.
At the same time, Li Yuan also went to the alley to find gangsters.
Bald Liu appeared soon.
He still had a bit of awe towards Li Yuan.
Li Yuan told him something.
To say that it was done was to repay Zhao Wanjun for saving his mother.
Bald Liu was originally afraid of offending some dignitaries, but when he heard that it was to repay Zhao Wanjun, he immediately patted his chest and made a promise.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the thief to take action.
Zhao Wanjun's long-term verbal provocation, the large amount of gold secretly stored by the Zhao family, and the newly purchased underwear by the charming Mrs. Zhao...
When all the conditions were tempting enough, the perverted thief really came.
One night, a dark shadow took advantage of the darkness and moved across the rooftops...
The thief's skills were indeed very good. No one noticed his actions except Li Yuan.
When Zhao Tianya discovered that all the gold in his house had been stolen, even though he knew that it was to help his precious daughter catch the thief, he still got angry.
The thief stole the gold. God knows whether he can get it back after he is caught.
"That's the property that my Zhao family has accumulated for decades..." Zhao Tianya's eyes were blank.
Naturally, the personal belongings purchased by Mrs. Zhao, that is, Huang Shuya, were also taken away by the perverted thief.
But it did not damage Mrs. Zhao's innocence.
Li Yuan poisoned these personal items as soon as they were bought and never wore them.
Li Yuan also placed the clothes smeared with poison in the main room and asked Zhao's father and mother to rest in the guest room for the time being.
These actions were all deliberately planned. Mrs. Zhao was cooperating with her daughter to catch the thief, so naturally she didn't think too much about it.
As for the rumors that may arise in the future, Zhao Wanjun has his own ways to deal with them.
She would never let her mother suffer any injustice.
In fact, when the thief came last night, Li Yuan could have asked Zhao Wanjun to catch him in time.
But, both of them knew it.
This matter is no longer just about thieves.
When Zhao's father and mother implemented their plans, they deliberately avoided the public.
How could a mere thief know so much information if there was no one behind him?
Although this plan involves poison, Zhao Wanjun is determined to uproot the person behind the scenes!
