Chapter 214 Hundreds of Millions of Wealth
At midnight, two pairs of blue eyes moved quickly in the darkness.
Led by a small group of green-eyed guys, they climbed into a deserted three-story courtyard.
There is a row of stables in the backyard, which still retain the original smell of horse manure.
The wet rat stood on the middle stable and squeaked to mobilize the team.
Lin Shu slid down from Baozi's back, rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her hands.
He walked to the stable, squatted, took a deep breath, and picked up the stable that weighed several hundred pounds.
"Click~click~"
A dull sliding sound was heard from underground, and after a stick of incense, people filed down.
Under the illumination of the night pearl, the shadowy box appeared before our eyes.
There was a thin layer of dust in the basement, and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.
Lin Shu pried open a wooden box, and saw a box full of silver ingots neatly placed together.
Ten taels per ingot, one box weighs one thousand taels.
[Tsk tsk, he is really rich. There is so much wealth in such a deserted yard. ]
[Then the people next door must be extremely wealthy. ]
Lin Shu secretly glanced to the north, at the five courtyards connected together.
The ancient residence of an old-school family in the imperial city was said to have once been as wealthy as a country.
Later, for unknown reasons, it gradually declined.
Lin Shu temporarily gave up the idea of going for a walk and waved her hand to put away all the wooden boxes in front of her.
Another secret door appeared, and I pushed open the heavy stone door.
Another pile of boxes, collect them.
After collecting the boxes, a secret door appeared and I continued to do hard labor.
Collect the boxes and push the stone door.
After repeating this five times, no more secret doors appeared.
There were about one hundred and sixty wooden boxes piled up on the open space in Lin Shu's space.
I pried open a wooden box at random and found a box of cold knives.
'What the hell!'
If a family intends to rebel, then secretly hoarding weapons is an absolute capital crime.
Is she doing another good thing?
Lin Shu felt like crying but had no tears, not knowing whether this was right or wrong.
All she wants is gold, silver and jewelry, she really doesn't want to touch weapons!
‘Hua Hua Hua~’
When all the wooden boxes were opened, half of them were found to be weapons.
Now things are getting serious.
Lin Shu felt a deep malice, and after returning to her original state, she immediately ran away with a group of younger brothers.
They also robbed the corrupt official Pan Guangmei and settled Madam Pei outside the mansion.
Mrs. Pei, who came from a brothel, was frail and delicate, with thin eyes and eyebrows, and was doted on by Pan Guangmei.
Food, clothing and other expenses are all the same as those in the imperial palace.
Gold and silver porcelain, jewelry, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, and gorgeous brocade, it can be said that everything is available.
There were ten large boxes of South Sea pearls alone.
Each one is round and full with different colors.
Lin Shu was dazzled by the collection she received for the first time. Each one was so exquisite that it could be called a work of art.
The food here is a mix of delicacies from land and sea from all over the country, with ginseng, deer antlers, ganoderma lucidum, and blood bird's nest counted by the box.
Lin Shu emptied the Pei Mansion's storehouse and asked Luo Tang Shu to take her to see the real beauty.
...
In the bedroom, the creaking and groaning sounds continued.
A faint fragrance came out from the gap, and the maid on duty had a rosy face and her head almost shrank into her stomach.
Perhaps it was the effect of the fragrance, the maids all felt a little drowsy.
When she smelled the fragrance, Lin Shu's mind was stunned for a moment.
She bit the tip of her tongue gently, knowing that she shouldn't stay here for long.
I held my breath and climbed onto the bun's back, patting it gently to make it leave.
It is hard for people to forget the kindness of a beautiful woman.
She is just a money-loving purse, so let others enjoy the beauty!
On the way back, Lin Shu gave her friends enough food to survive the winter.
And say goodbye to them and make an appointment for the next action.
After dodging team after team of patrolling soldiers, he finally got into the yard from the stable.
He fed the two horses some night grass and hurried back to the house with the three of them.
I took off my nightgown and lay down, patted the three heads, and closed my eyes to sort out tonight's harvest.
'Knock knock knock~'
The man with sore eyes was awakened by the sudden knock on the door.
Lin Shu climbed up from the kang and quickly put the three into the space.
He checked the room carefully again and found no traces left, then he lay back on the kang with peace of mind.
...
"Who are you? Why are you knocking on the door in the dark? We can talk tomorrow."
Lin Hongyi stood at the door in neat clothes and glanced at the next room.
He held a long knife and looked calmly at the gate of the courtyard.
"Brother, can you please let me stay for one night?" a man asked anxiously.
"No, go ask someone else!"
Lin Hongyi refused outright and went to an ordinary family to stay at the inn in the city.
It doesn't sound like he's a good person. Could he be a fugitive?
Alarm bells immediately rang in Lin Hongyi's mind. He didn't know who to turn to at this late hour to report to the police.
What if he leaves? What will happen to the small stones in the house?
Thinking of this, Lin Hongyi simply picked up his long sword and walked into the yard to practice his sword skills.
"Swish~swish~swish~"
The blade cuts through the wind, coming from far away.
After a set of sword techniques, Lin Hongyi's back was completely wet.
I listened carefully outside, but there was no sound.
He still didn't dare to relax at all, and slowly approached the gate of the compound with the big knife in hand.
Inside the house, Lin Shu listened to the noise outside, holding the iron gun in her hand under the quilt.
Waiting to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time.
...
"Little Stone, it's okay now. Are you scared?"
Lin Hongyi calmed himself down and spoke softly while standing at the door.
"Brother, I'm fine, you go back and rest!"
Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the false alarm.
She thought someone was tracking her down and was thinking about how to escape.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
In order to comfort the frightened little heart, Lin Shu flashed into the space.
Standing in front of a pile of boxes that had just been collected, according to preliminary statistics.
The two nights' harvest included about 20 million taels of gold and silver, as well as countless jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, pearls, medicinal herbs, and delicacies from land and sea.
There are about a thousand long swords, enough to arm a guard team.
All added up, the value is about 200 million taels of silver.
No wonder the treasury is empty but the officials are rich.
It turned out that all the wealth flowed into the pockets of officials.
...
The next day, several more thefts occurred in the imperial city, but no one knew the exact number.
All the officials were horrified when they heard the news. After the court session, they dared not linger outside and even stopped communicating with each other.
The entire imperial city, from the inner city to the outer city, was tense.
...
The New Year has arrived as promised, and the festive red lanterns are hung high, bringing some warmth to the tense and cold imperial city.
The first New Year in another world, in the imperial city where I am unfamiliar with the place.
The two brothers drove a horse-drawn carriage to purchase New Year's supplies, including chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, mutton, rice, flour, grain, oil, various snacks, firecrackers, lanterns, new clothes, new shoes, new hats, firewood, etc.
The brothers took this opportunity to increase the amount of food they bought.
Carriages went in and out of the courtyard one after another, and no one knew what exactly was purchased.
The food in the kitchen was piled up like a mountain, and a pile of snow appeared in the yard.
Freshly purchased meat is buried inside and can be used at any time. It is a natural refrigerator.
According to the customs of their hometown, a large piece of meat was stewing in the kitchen, and the two brothers were sitting around the kang making dumplings.
When the atmosphere of the New Year was wafting over the entire imperial city, dinner in the courtyard was served on the kang table.
A pot of dumplings, a pot of hand-pulled lamb, a pot of boiled chicken, and a pot of braised pork bones.
A tiger, a dog, and a rat, guarding the pots of meat and dumplings in front of them.
He looked at the two men eagerly, waiting for the order to start.
"Happy New Year, bro!
Happy New Year to Baozi, Luotangshu and Heizi! "
Lin Shu held up a bowl of dumpling soup, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.
