Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 211 It’s better to die, it’s better to die cleanly!

"Hmph!" Sha Zhu snorted coldly. He certainly didn't believe what Jia Zhang said. He knew that Jia Zhang must be hiding something, but he had no evidence now and didn't want to waste time with Jia Zhang. He had more important things to do.

Sha Zhu turned and walked out of Yi Zhonghai's room. Seeing this, Jia Zhang hurriedly followed him and asked, "Sha Zhu, what are you...what are you going to do?"

"I'll go report it!" Sha Zhu said without turning his head.

"Report...report a case?" Jia Zhang's face changed. "What case do you want to report?"

"Yi Zhonghai was murdered, of course I have to report it!" Sha Zhu stopped, turned around, and looked at Jia Zhang coldly, "Jia Zhang, I warn you, don't try to protect the murderer, otherwise, I will be the first one who will not let you go!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu walked out without looking back, leaving Jia Zhang standing there alone, her face pale and her whole body trembling...

Jia Zhang stood there, the cold wind blew on her face like a knife, but it was not as cold as the last look from Sha Zhu. She shrank her neck guiltily, and watched Sha Zhu's figure disappear at the gate before she ran back home.

In the room, Yi Zhonghai was still lying straight on the bed, like a cold sculpture. Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to look at his face. The face that usually acted like an elder and used his status as a "big uncle" to bully others seemed particularly strange at this moment.

"It's better to die, and die clean!" Jia Zhang suddenly had this thought in her mind, and then she was frightened again. She slapped her face hard, trying to drive this terrible thought out of her mind.

No, don't panic! Jia Zhang tried to calm herself down and began to think about what happened last night. Sha Zhu said that Yi Zhonghai was murdered by someone, could it be... could it be that someone discovered what happened last night?

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang broke out in a cold sweat. She fell to the side of the bed, replaying the scene of last night in her mind...

Back to the night before, Jia Zhang went to bed early after dinner as usual. But she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

"Damn Shazhu, why don't you give all your salary to me for safekeeping!" Jia Zhang became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, and her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.

She knew that Sha Zhu earned a large salary every month, but he would rather give the money to those ungrateful people than help his "poor" aunt.

"No, I have to find a way to get some money!" Jia Zhang thought to herself.

Just then, she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the yard.

"Who?!" Jia Zhang sat up alertly and listened carefully with her ears pricked up.

"It's me, uncle." A deep voice came from outside the window.

When Jia Zhang heard that it was Yi Zhonghai, she immediately perked up. She put on her clothes, tiptoed to the window, and asked in a low voice: "Master, why are you here so late?"

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Yi Zhonghai said in a low voice, "I have something to discuss with you."

Jia Zhang opened the window suspiciously and let Yi Zhonghai climb in.

"What's the matter, uncle? Why are you being so mysterious?" asked Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai did not answer, but walked to the table, took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and saw a thick stack of banknotes inside.

"This..." Jia Zhang's eyes widened as she looked at the stack of banknotes.

"This is Shazhu's salary for this month." Yi Zhonghai said, "I've thought about it. Instead of letting those ungrateful people get a bargain, it's better for the two of us..."

Before he could finish his words, Jia Zhang covered his mouth with her hand.

"Shh, keep your voice down! What if someone hears us?" Jia Zhang said nervously, but her eyes were greedily staring at the money on the table, as if it was the most delicious food in the world.

"Don't worry, I'll do the job, don't you trust me?" Yi Zhonghai smiled complacently, "I've already thought about it. I'll say that Sha Zhu hid our salary and refused to help us. We were so angry that we..."

Jia Zhang nodded in understanding, a greedy smile appearing on her face.

After the recollection, Jia Zhang felt cold all over. Yi Zhonghai was dead, so would anyone still believe what he said before?

"No, I have to get rid of this money quickly!" Jia Zhang hurriedly took out a broken box from under the bed, stuffed the money into it, and then found some old clothes to cover it.

After doing all this, she felt a little relieved. However, the look in Sha Zhu's eyes before he left was like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart, making her restless.

Just then, there was a sudden noise in the yard.

"They're coming! The police are coming!" Someone shouted.

Jia Zhang's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind...

Jia Zhang's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She grabbed the enamel pot on the table in a panic and threw it to the ground without thinking. With a loud "crash", the enamel pot broke into pieces, and the fragments flew everywhere.

"What are you doing, old hag?!" Sha Zhu's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of impatience.

Jia Zhang suppressed her panic and pretended to be calm and yelled back, "What do you care! Can't I just break a cup? You lose money, get out now!"

Sha Zhu was stunned by her scolding, then sneered: "Hey, the old man just left and you showed your true colors? I tell you, this matter is not over yet!"

Jia Zhang's heart skipped a beat, but she still managed to speak: "What are you talking about? You little bastard, don't think I don't know what you are thinking! As soon as Yi Zhonghai dies, you want to take all his property, right?"

Sha Zhu was so angry at her words that he laughed. He pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and cursed, "Bullshit! What does a master's property have to do with me? Am I that kind of person?"

"Don't I know who you are? Don't think I don't know all the good things you've done behind my back all these years!" Jia Zhang simply threw the can away and pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and cursed, "You ungrateful wolf, you ate my food and drank my drinks, and now that you've grown wings you want to fly away, right?"

The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, and soon attracted the attention of other residents in the yard.

"What's going on? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?" The third uncle Yan Bugui walked over with his coat draped over his face, looking impatient.

"Old Yan, you've come at the right time! Please judge for yourself, is this idiot Zhu an ungrateful person?" When Jia Zhang saw Yan Bugui, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and immediately started crying, "His uncle just left and he wants to take all the property for himself. Do you still have any conscience?"

Before Yan Bugui could speak, Sha Zhu couldn't help but say, "Jia Zhang, can you please have some shame? When did I ever say that I would take all the property of the master? Don't slander me!"

"I'm slandering you? You dare to say you haven't thought about it in your heart?" Jia Zhang jumped to her feet and cursed, "You conscienceless thing, if I had known you would be like this, I should have..."
