After rebirth, the little junior sister’s salty life
Chapter 483 Walking into a Scam
The chief guard hurried to the study room with the real treasure map in his arms, feeling extremely nervous and excited. At this moment, the city lord Ming Haijun was sitting alone in the study room, lowering his head and concentrating on reading a letter in his hand.
The captain of the guard knocked on the door gently, then opened the door carefully and walked in. He walked straight to Ming Haijun, knelt down on his knees, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the City, I am fortunate enough to have fulfilled my duty. We have successfully discovered the whereabouts of the real treasure map and have brought it back to the Lord of the City. Please see it in person to verify its authenticity." After saying that, he held a delicate wooden box over his head respectfully. Appeared in front of Ming Haijun.
Ming Haijun paused for a moment, slowly put down the letter in his hand, raised his head, and stared at the guard kneeling on the ground. He stood up, walked steadily to the guard, and took the wooden box from him.
This wooden box exudes a faint fragrance and is engraved with exquisite patterns, making it look particularly solemn and mysterious. Ming Haijun couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. He gently opened the lid, and a dazzling light shot out from the box.
When the dazzling light gradually dissipated, he couldn't help but put his hands over his eyes. After the light completely dissipated, he slowly put down his hands and took a closer look, only to see three mysterious treasure maps lying quietly in the box.
This discovery gave him a strong belief: the treasure map he got this time was not an illusion, but a real clue to the treasure!
\"Well done! You have made such a great contribution, and this city lord will never treat you badly. Now you can leave first.\"
\"Yes, Lord City Lord!\" The man retreated.
After the man left, Ming Haijun held the box tightly in his hand and walked towards a very secret courtyard in the backyard with steady steps. Along the way, he looked solemn, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
Finally arriving at his destination, he stood in front of the door and gently knocked on the slightly quaint door. After a while, a lazy voice came from the room:
\"come in.\"
Ming Haijun took a deep breath, carefully opened the door and stepped into the room. As soon as he walked in, a strong fishy smell hit his face, making his heart tremble involuntarily. However, he always lowered his head and did not dare to look up at all.
"Why did you come to see me this time?" The man sitting in the first seat spoke in a low voice with a barely perceptible sense of pressure.
"Uncle San, I got the real treasure map this time. Please take a look." The man who spoke knelt on one knee, lowered his head and handed the map in his hand forward.
However, at this moment, Ming Haijun accidentally looked up and saw a thrilling scene - in the arms of the man called Third Uncle, there was a girl who looked like a broken doll! What made him even more terrified was that this girl turned out to be his biological daughter, Ming Rou!
Ming Haijun stared at everything in front of him with his eyes wide open, looking at it in disbelief. His heart was filled with anger and grief, but more of it was fear. He knew how cruel this man was, and if he offended him, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, the third uncle seemed to have noticed Ming Haijun's gaze. He smiled slightly, stuck out his tongue and gently licked his thin lips with blood, then said: "You have such a beautiful daughter, but you didn't bring her to see me earlier, and asked me, your third uncle, to find her myself. You are so unfilial..." His words revealed an undisguised greed and evil.
"Uncle San, please forgive me for making you laugh. It's really not that I'm unfilial! You know, not long ago, Rou'er suddenly contracted a strange disease and has been in a deep coma ever since. She hasn't woken up yet. Today, I am grateful for your kindness and care, uncle. It is really a great blessing for me!" Ming Haijun said these words while slowly lowering his head. He seemed to feel guilty and remorseful, and he didn't dare to look directly at the respected elder in front of him.
In fact, although this woman is indeed his own flesh and blood, he has also taken good care of her and doted on her for many years. However, all of this is not out of sincerity, but just out of ulterior motives - his ultimate goal is nothing more than to cheat the Liu family of the invaluable treasure map!
So far, the plan I originally set has been successfully realized, and it can be said to be complete. In this case, why not give this daughter to the third uncle? Thinking of this, Ming Haijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief...
"Get up! Let me take a look at the box in your hand." As these words rang out, Ming Haijun slowly stood up and walked towards the man with firm and steady steps. His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and determination, as if this task was very familiar to him.
When Ming Haijun walked to the man, he carefully handed over the box in his hand. The box looked simple and mysterious, with traces of time engraved on it, and seemed to hide endless secrets.
After the man took the box, he was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he stroked the surface of the box with his hand and felt the ancient texture. Then, he slowly opened the lid, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping treasure inside. When the box was fully opened, three treasure maps with faint light were displayed in front of them.
The man stared at each treasure map with wide eyes. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, not missing any details. After a careful comparison, he nodded with satisfaction: "There is no mistake this time, these three treasure maps are all real. As long as they are combined, the real location of the treasure will appear."
His voice was full of anticipation and excitement, as if he had already seen the wealth and glory that was about to come. At this moment, the whole room was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere...
After hearing the other party's affirmative words, Ming Haijun could no longer suppress his excitement and joy, and he quickly spliced the three maps together. Sure enough, as expected, a familiar sight appeared in front of them - it was a towering snow-capped mountain in the far north, covered with snow all year round!
\"This is the legendary snow mountain!" someone exclaimed.
\"Looking like this, the treasure should be hidden here. Without further ado, you will immediately arrange the manpower and prepare it, and we will set off immediately.\" The man said with firm eyes, indicating that he was determined to win this treasure hunt. Because as long as he can find this treasure, he will definitely be able to obtain huge benefits from it after returning to Kyoto.
\"Yes, Third Uncle!\" Ming Haijun replied respectfully and slowly exited the room.
However, the moment he stepped out of the door, the original flattering look on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a sinister and cunning sneer. There was even a hint of cruelty and malice in his eyes: Humph! Since you all want to compete with me for this treasure, don't blame me for being ruthless!
After returning to the study, he summoned the group of cronies who were loyal to him without stopping, and carefully arranged everyone's tasks.
In order to get the real treasure, he even planned a thrilling assassination operation - the target was none other than his third uncle!
\"Did you all understand what I just said?\" He glanced at the people in front of him with burning eyes, and solemnly warned: \"There must be no omissions to avoid being noticed by others!\"
\"Don't worry, sir! We know that this matter is of great importance, and we must be cautious, fulfill our mission, and successfully complete the tasks assigned by the city lord! \" Among the crowd, a leader made an oath without hesitation.
\"Very good! In this case, I believe you. The most important thing right now is to make all the preparations before departure. After all, it will take at least three days to reach the snowy mountains from here, so hurry up and prepare Right." He pointed out the key point thoughtfully.
\"I obey the city lord's order! I will start arranging relevant matters now.\" Before he finished speaking, the guards left quickly, their movements were clean and well-trained.
