Chapter 613 Squatting in the corner and drawing circles
In order to "clear the place", Baiban chased him for a long distance. It wasn't until Cheng Cheng made too much noise as he stumbled away that he attracted the guards on duty before he left.
The guard rushed over with a lantern, and saw the fat man half naked, with disheveled hair, a bruised nose and a swollen face... When the lantern shined, it was quite scary.
"Damn it, what the hell!" The guard's feet were faster than his brain, and he kicked Prefect Cheng away with one kick.
Governor Cheng couldn't hear the word "ghost" at all now, and was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms...
At this time, the courtyard was extremely quiet, and Mingruo was a little suspicious: "Is there no one on duty in this courtyard?"
"He probably doesn't want people to know about the things he did." Si Haochen analyzed.
"Yes..." It can be understood that even a pervert wants to be shameless? However, Cheng Taishou obviously took off the left side of his face and put it on the right side - one side is shameless, and the other side is skinny.
Mingruo followed Si Haochen into the bedroom. Because Cheng Taishou did not close the door after running out, the unpleasant smell in the room dissipated a lot.
Si Haochen took out the fire stick and lit the candle on the table. After playing with it for a long time, the whiteboard condensed into a figure again.
Mingruo rolled his eyes: "From now on, I'll leave all the pretending work to you."
"Okay." Seeing that Governor Cheng was so frightened that he peed his pants, Whiteboard found it quite interesting, "The darkroom is under the bed, and the mechanism is here."
Whiteboard has been around here before and is very familiar with the surrounding environment.
Si Haochen rolled up the quilt on the bed and threw it on the floor, then pressed the button.
‘Creak’, ‘Creak’… The bed board moved directly to the foot of the bed, revealing the dark room below.
"I'll go down and take a look first." Si Haochen picked up the candlestick on the table.
"It's just a little dark inside, so there's nothing dangerous about it," Baiban said.
After listening to the whiteboard's words, Ming Ruo reached out and grabbed Si Haochen's arm. Si Haochen pulled down his wife's little hand and held it in his palm.
The originally dark darkroom was illuminated by candlelight and immediately became golden. Mingruo's mouth opened into an O shape: "Is it so profitable to be a prefect?"
"..." Si Haochen also felt a little strange.
There is at least a million taels of gold in this secret room. No matter how corrupt and bribery Governor Cheng is, it is unlikely that he will be able to get so much money.
It's not that Si Haochen underestimated the financial resources of the wealthy families in Jiangnan, but it was obvious that Governor Cheng couldn't do anything worth so much money.
Under the guidance of the whiteboard, Mingruo opened the secret compartment and took out the account book placed inside.
"Huh? What is this?" Mingruo thought there was a small wooden platform under the account book and knocked it with his hand - it was hollow.
Si Haochen reached out and took out the 'box' from the secret compartment, shook it, and there was a slight 'clatter' and 'crash' sound inside.
Ming Ruo looked carefully through the candlelight and found that although there were two criss-crossing gaps on the wooden box, they were tightly closed and did not look like they could be opened: "There are no interlocking buttons, but it can be closed so tightly..."
"This is a scheming lock. The lock is hidden inside. It can only be opened by aligning the mechanism inside to the appropriate position and shaking it moderately." Si Haochen explained while looking through it.
"Put it away first." Mingruo felt that such an important thing as the account book was not found in a box. The things in this box must be more valuable.
"Yeah." Si Haochen handed the wooden box to Mingruo.
"Can I take some of the gold here?" If they take away the account books, they will definitely alert the enemy, but in the future, if the prefect's mansion is confiscated and such a large amount of gold disappears, they will definitely not be able to hide it.
"Of course not... take some..." Si Haochen saw the princess' face slump and poked her forehead, "Take whatever you want. No matter how much you take, you can't find it on us."
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded repeatedly, yes, just to let Emperor Danxu know that they had taken the gold, but there was no evidence! Let him instruct his husband to come to provide disaster relief, huh!
Mingruo packed up all the gold and put it into the space, and muttered on the whiteboard next to him: "When I recover my 'physical body', there will be no need for the master to do these little things himself."
"Huh?" Mingruo's big eyes rolled around, "You mean, if you have enough spiritual power, you can put all these into the space without me coming over?"
"Yes." Baiban nodded sheepishly.
"Let's go." After Si Haochen saw that everything was done, he took Mingruo back to the bedroom and activated the mechanism to restore the bed to its original state.
Si Haochen hugged Mingruo and jumped to the roof, sending a secret signal to Chuyi and Xunyi. When it was time for them to meet up, Mingruo said to the whiteboard: "Aren't you going back?"
"It's more interesting outside. I want to be like the white tiger and play outside." The whiteboard is like a child who is "out for fun". Once he comes out, he doesn't want to go back.
"No! OK!" With a thought, Mingruo directly threw the whiteboard back into the space, and also placed a 'restriction' on free entry and exit.
Are you kidding me? After learning that Bai Ban's continuous practice might help him empty out Emperor Danxu's 'treasury', how could Mingruo let it hang around outside and waste his training time! (Bai Ban squatted in the corner and drew circles.
Circle: Why is my mouth so 'unlucky', talking about these truths! The arrogant Prince Yun: Isn't it Danxu's treasury? I will take you there as my husband! It's just...his shabby treasury, what's inside is really
It’s just not much money...)
Xunyi and Chuyi soon came to the roof, holding a few letters in their hands: "I didn't find anything useful. These letters are correspondence between Governor Cheng and the fifth prince, which are somewhat useful."
"Well...send someone to deliver it to the third child." Si Haochen knew that he and his wife had the most powerful evidence, and nothing else mattered.
Mingruo and Si Haochen's team returned to the small courtyard of Zhuangyuan Building and found that the 'group' from the 15th district had returned.
Fifteen smiled and handed several account books to Si Haochen one by one: "Master, this is the account book you want. This is the Gong family's public property, this is their hidden property, and this is their private property.
The account books, these are some messy letters, anyway, they are in the same box as the account books for selling private salt, so my subordinates brought them back."
"Very good." Si Haochen was very satisfied with Fifteen's performance.
Fifteen felt happy, Lao Tie activated the new skill of 'picking locks with the tip of his tail', coupled with the old skill of poisoning people to stone if they disagreed, it was simply an artifact for killing people and seizing treasures!
After all the dispatched people came back, it was almost dawn. Si Haochen asked Mingruo to put all the account books into the space, and then followed his wife into the space to sleep.
When Ming Ruo woke up, she found Si Haochen sitting at the table, fiddling with the 'Scheming Lock' he got from Prefect Cheng.
"Are you awake?" Si Haochen put down the wooden box in his hand, "I cooked porridge, do you want to eat it?"
