Chapter 161 The Man Behind the Scenes 3

Chapter 161 The man behind the scenes (3)

Yunxi also discovered the two boats hidden in the reeds by the river, and immediately understood that they were going to the city by boat! The people behind the scenes were really cautious, and Yunxi also observed that there were still people under the rockery inside the house.

There is a secret room in which there are more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver, as well as many antique calligraphy and paintings.

This house couldn't be a place where the people behind the scenes kept their money, Yun Xi thought to herself, if the gold and silver were placed in a secret room, how could it be safe in her space.

Yun Xi rolled his eyes and thought about it. He didn't know if he could store these things directly into the space. He had never tried it before, but it was not too late to try it now. Yun Xi thought about it and started trying it immediately.

She waited until these people carried them to the rockery, then used her mental power to cover the entire wooden box containing the silver. She silently said "accept" in her heart. Unexpectedly, she actually took the box of silver in the secret room into herself.

Yunxi immediately became happy and took the entire secret room into his own space.

The entire secret room was like a geese plucking its feathers. There was not even a shelf left, and Yun Xi was allowed to take it into his own space.

After collecting it, Yunxi began to feel upset again. If she had known that she could still do this, she would have collected the bandit's money. But thinking about the distance, Yunxi thought that she might not be able to complete it. This hidden gold and silver

The secret room happened to be underground where these people carried them. Thanks to the bandits who dug a secret tunnel and asked her to check the underground as soon as she entered, she discovered this secret room underground.

But the location where the treasure is hidden in Heishanzhai is a bit too far, so you won't succeed without even thinking about it.

Yunxi simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, there were a lot of good things in her dimension. She wouldn't keep all the money for herself. If the people were in trouble, she could exchange it for food in her dimension to help. The money in her dimension

Food is more valuable than money.

After Yun Xi collected the money, he continued to observe and found that there was not a single woman in the house. They were all burly men. Including the people escorting them, there were about ten or twenty people.

These people carried Yunxi's box and placed them in a room closest to the back door. These people did not let them out. They just opened the box and put a package of drugged chicken legs inside, and then

The lid was closed and locked again.

Yun Xi admired them in his heart. These children were from poor families. After being drugged, they were scared and hungry. Suddenly they smelled the aroma of meat, and they couldn't help but eat it even if they knew there was something wrong with them.

After the group of people put them away and locked the door, leaving two people to guard the door, the others went about their own business. Yunxi saw that everyone had left, so he didn't know when he would send them away.

, she will definitely not eat the chicken legs in this box.

Yun Xi, who was lying in the box, thought of her father at this moment. She didn't know if her father had listened to her and reported it to the official.

At this time, Yunyi followed Zhang Captou and had already entered the city. Before the city gate opened, Zhang Captou asked one of his men, Zhao Hu, to wait at the city gate. When the city gate opened, he went to rent a house as soon as possible.

.

The remaining people asked them to pretend to be ordinary people. Originally, Zhang Captou planned to go to the county government after the city gate opened, but now because of the news about Yunxi, he changed his mind. He now suspected that there was someone behind these bandits.

The person behind the previous Shangyuan Festival case is the same person.

In order to find out the whole story and whether the Shangyuanjie case was related to this case, Capt. Zhang decided to send people to the Lu family to keep an eye on him. After Chen Xiao confessed the third son of the Lu family, Capt. Zhang had already gone to investigate.

the person’s background.

I discovered that Mr. Lu from the Lu family was actually the emperor's son. He was originally a third-grade Hanlin scholar and accepted the imperial decree! Among the Hanlin bachelors, the one who has served the longest is required to be in charge of control, imperial edicts, edicts, and order compilation. This person has already assisted him.

He has been an emperor for three terms. He is now almost seventy years old. In the short-lived ancient times, this old man who is almost seventy years old was as precious and rare as the giant panda.

However, no matter how well Mr. Lu took care of himself, he still had health problems. In recognition of his contribution to the great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor granted Mr. Lu permission to retain his official position in the future.

This means that the emperor allows him to return to his hometown in advance to retire, and he still has a salary and salary, and can also participate in some important court affairs, but he does not need to go to court at any time. He does not need to participate in some small things, and someone will inform him about big things.

In addition, his eldest son has been promoted by the emperor to the rank of fourth-rank scholar, and he only needs to return to his hometown to recuperate. Of course, if he dies due to illness while he is being recuperated, the privileges granted by the emperor will also be lost.

Already.

Therefore, everyone in the Lu family does not want Mr. Lu to die, otherwise, they will not be able to use Mr. Lu's strength to climb up.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as retirement for officials. Unless they had physical problems and could no longer serve, there would be a saying of "retirement in the lead-up to the official position", which meant retiring early. Of course, it does not mean that you can retire if you want to.

It also depends on whether the emperor will let the person go.

Zhang Captou feels that if this case is still related to the Lu family, it will be very difficult for their county magistrate~ One is only a seventh-grade county magistrate, and the other is a third-grade official! How to investigate this?

The third son of the Lu family is the youngest grandson of Mr. Lu. This involves the grandson of a third-grade official. Zhang Captou felt that if it were him, he would definitely not continue the investigation, but he also thought that the adults in his family also seemed to be involved.

With a decent background, he has confidence again.

Although he didn't know the specific details of his family, he probably wasn't wrong, Zhang Captou thought in his mind.

Now, all we have to do is wait for the little girl from the Yun family to follow the bandits. I don’t know what the Yun family is thinking. If such an older girl follows the bandits, aren’t they afraid that she will also be caught?

What ability does this little girl have that makes the Yun family feel so relieved that the little girl's father comes with her? Moreover, since she can bring news to her father, why not follow her father back?

Zhang Qiao had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't take the liberty to ask. At this time, they were already in a house in Xiahe County. He first asked his men to buy some food, and after filling their stomachs, he sent

People went out to monitor the Lu family.

And Yunyi is also waiting for news about his daughter. Zhang Captou is not going to see Mr. Liu, the magistrate of Xiahe County. He is afraid that if he tells Mr. Liu here, the Lu family will get the news.

Then it will alert the snake.

Fortunately, when he came to Xiahe County this time, the county magistrate gave him a lot of money, which was enough for them to eat, drink and live for two or three days. Moreover, before coming, he also told him that if something happened, he could handle it on his own.

, now he can just wait for the news with peace of mind. He believes that the little girl from the Yun family will definitely send news to his father.

On the other side, Yun Xi kept waiting and waiting in the box. When she was really hungry, she simply ducked into the space first.

After entering the space, Yun Xi was confused. Her courtyard seemed to be a little bigger. When she entered, she found that there was an additional alchemy room next to the weapons room. As for why she knew it was an alchemy room, because the door

The plaque hanging on it reads "Alchemy Room" in two large gilded characters.
