Treasure identifying Golden Finger

Jiang Yanran, who was standing at the side, seemed to understand the meaning behind Faang Cheng's words. She looked up at the decorations around her.    

    

"It must have been placed by two different people!"    

    

She answered Faang Cheng's question without any explanation.    

    

Yu Yien did not understand their conversation, nor did He Huan. Only Faang Cheng and Jiang Yanran understood each other's meaning. To be honest, Faang Cheng was quite surprised by this. If this Jiang Yanran wasn't deliberately observing him carefully, then this girl's insight and comprehension ability were far too powerful!    

    

"What did you say?"    

    

Yu Yien frowned and looked at Faang Cheng and Jiang Yanran.    

    

"Look..."    

    

Faang Cheng showed Yu Yien the teacup in his hand, emphasizing the pure gold rim on the surface of the teacup. Then, he pointed at the stone carvings and wooden sculptures on the shelf and shrugged his shoulders.    

    

Only then did Yu Yien come to a sudden realization.    

    

"Different style?"    

    

He asked!    

    

"That's right, that's why I said, isn't this master a little split? But Jiang Yanran said something that might be correct. It was put up by two different people! Perhaps... these things of the literary style belong to the former master of the house, and these glittering things... they must have been placed there by some one in charge."    

    

"My lords, sorry to keep you waiting!"    

    

Just as Faang Cheng and the others were talking, a burst of hearty laughter sounded from the entrance of the main hall.    

    

Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a simple green robe walking quickly towards them from the main hall. He was a very tall man, very stout, with a very regular face, a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes.    

    

He was smiling gently at the moment. As soon as he entered the main hall, he held his hands together and bowed to them.    

    

"You are..."    

    

You are... He Huan went forward and looked at the person with a questioning look.    

    

"Ah, I am the second son of the Zhao Family. Everyone likes to call me Second Zhao!"    

    

It turned out that the person who came was the second brother of the Zhao Family, Second Master Zhao, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the Zhao Family.    

    

"I wonder what business do you have with the Zhao Family?"    

    

Second Master Zhao asked straightforwardly, looking very straightforward.    

    

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just... a routine investigation! Recently, there have been several cases of attempted murder against the heads of small families in Seahold, so we have to routinely question those who have recently lost their heads or are seriously ill."    

    

Jiang Yanran spoke without revealing anything, causing Faang Cheng and the others to give her a thumbs up in their hearts at the same time.    

    

When he heard Jiang Yanran's words, Second Master Zhao was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had realized something, the smile on his face faded.    

    

"My third brother's death... was an accident! It should have nothing to do with the murder you mentioned! Alas, it is really hard for us to accept this. No one would have thought that our third brother would leave us in such a way!"    

    

Speaking of Third Brother's death, Second Master Zhao seemed to be very sad. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, as if he really did not want to talk about it.    

    

"Oh? It's like this..."    

    

Jiang Yanran was lost in thought.    

    

"Even so, we still have to routinely inquire about the reason and process of the death of the Zhao Family Master. I hope Second Master Zhao can cooperate with us!"    

    

Jiang Yanran expressed her understanding, but also expressed the necessity of their investigation and asked Second Master Zhao to cooperate with them.    

    

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand all of this!"    

    

Second Master Zhao nodded, and then he seemed to recall the scene when his third brother passed away, and then he slowly opened his mouth!    

    

"My third brother... Oh, the Patriarch of our Zhao Family is forty years old this year. He hasn't married yet, and he doesn't have any children! As you know, sir, the age of our family is not the same as that of a normal person. Forty is not an age at all. A while ago, my third brother... he suddenly fell in love with a woman, a woman from a brothel! "    

    

Second Master Zhao was already being very polite. In fact, his brother had fallen in love with a prostitute!    

    

However, Faang Cheng and the others were not surprised by this. After all, a scholar falling in love with a prostitute was a common occurrence. However, this matter would definitely be difficult to accept for the scholar's family. After all, that family would easily accept a brothel girl as their family, not to mention that Third Master Zhao was the patriarch of the Zhao Family! If Third Master Zhao really married a brothel girl as his wife, then wouldn't the other patriarchs of the Zhao Family laugh their teeth off? Everyone would secretly say that the wife of the Zhao Family's patriarch was actually a brothel girl!    

    

"So... All of you rejected the action of the Zhao Family's patriarch?"    

    

Jiang Yanran timely reminded Second Master Zhao to continue.    

    

"Of course! I think... no family with any reputation would agree to let a brothel girl be the wife of their family head! So we tried to persuade Third Brother to give up the idea! But..."    

    

Second Master Zhao paused.    

    

"Second Master Zhao didn't agree. In fact, he resisted you very fiercely!"    

    

Jiang Yanran continued based on her experience.    

    

"Yes, Third Brother, he... as if bewitched, said that he would marry that whore no matter what, and I don't know what that bitch did to him, to make Third Brother follow her so loyally, and not want to break off his relations with her!"    

    

As he spoke, Second Master Zhao became agitated and was about to swear when he suddenly remembered that it was also a girl who had asked him the same question.    

    

"Then after that... How did the Zhao Family Master die in an accident?"    

    

Jiang Yanran looked at the excited Second Master Zhao in front of her. Her expression did not change as she continued to ask in a business-like manner. Faang Cheng, who was standing at the side, looked at the little girl who asked the question with admiration.    

    

"Your love for talent has flown up again! This is a beautiful girl. Be careful of the one in your family being jealous!"    

    

Yu Yien teased Faang Cheng in a soft voice.    

    

"While it's true that you're eager to learn more about talents, the person in my family is not someone who would be easily jealous!"    

    

Faang Cheng replied Yu Yien with a smile, but his eyes were still fixed on Second Master Zhao.    

    

"This... Sigh, speaking of which, actually, we... we are more or less responsible for this!"    

    

When Second Master Zhao heard Jiang Yanran's question, he couldn't help but sigh.
