Chapter 4: Traveling through time and space to become the wife of a prefect whose family was exterminated, she destroyed all her enemies (Part 4)

After receiving Yang Yi's secret letter, Cui Kun and Li Wu quickly rushed to You'an City.

Before the two of them arrived, Yang Yi spent every day in physical pain and heartache.

The pain in his flesh was because he felt pain all over his body, but the doctor couldn't find the cause.

My heart is bleeding because my wife spends money like water every day.

"Reporting to you, my Lord, the Madam has just withdrawn another 10,000 taels of silver from the treasury.

She said that the newly opened restaurant was going to hold a seven-day free opening event to increase its popularity.

Yang Yi was still lamenting that the mansion would soon be running out of money when he heard the butler walk in tremblingly and report to him about his wife's lavish spending.

"Move all the silver in the treasury to my study and hide it here. If Madam wants silver, just say that the mansion is currently short of it and wait until I pay her my salary!"

Ten thousand taels? The thought of ten thousand taels being gone in the blink of an eye.

Yang Yi felt as if his heart was pierced by a long sword, and the pain was excruciating.

I have to find what my master needs quickly, I can’t keep this wife.

When Yang Yi was feeling distressed, Hu Xiaomeng first went to the restaurant and spent a lot of money to let the owner know that he could hold the free event without any worries.

While going to Yihongyuan for fun, he avoided the people sent by Yang Yi to follow him and quietly returned to Canglan Mountain.

The place was in ruins and in a mess.

There are traces of fire everywhere, and all you can see are broken walls and ruins, which shows how rampant the fire was back then.

The heartbreaking cries of pain in the fire and the original owner's mother's shrill screams all lingered in Hu Xiaomeng's ears, making her scalp numb.

[Master, I just went into the secret room to check. There should be a path at the end of the secret room leading to the outside world.

It's a pity that the original owner's parents were poisoned, otherwise they would have had a chance to escape through the secret room.

The sudden sound of Ling Guoguo brought Hu Xiaomeng back from the original owner's memory.

"I'll go in and see if there are any other clues."

Taking a torch to illuminate the room, Hu Xiaomeng opened the secret room mechanism and walked in.

I looked at the ground carefully and found a lot of dust. It seemed that no one had been in there for a long time.

After walking up the long, dark stone steps and passing through numerous mechanisms, we finally arrived at a cave entrance.

The mechanism was opened through the original owner's memory. Outside, there were several lush trees and some bushes blocking the entrance of the cave.

The place that came out was near the foot of the mountain, in the opposite direction of where the original owner fell off the cliff.

I walked around here for a long time, but couldn't find any useful information left by Liu Bing.

Hu Xiaomeng could only leave a message for Liu Bing in the secret room through the sisters' previous communication signals.

If Liu Bing returns to Canglan Mountain one day, he will definitely find the handwriting he left behind.

However, before she could receive any news from Liu Bing, she learned from the intelligence personnel she had sent that Cui Kun and Li Wu would be coming to You'an City tomorrow.

Yang Yi originally wanted to go out and meet Cui Kun and Li Wu, but the pain in his body was unbearable, so he could only arrange to meet in the secret room of his study.

He secretly had someone prepare ginseng soup with double the amount of sleeping pills added, and watched his wife drink it with his own eyes. He made sure that she was unconscious before quietly leaving the room.

After Yang Yi left, Hu Xiaomeng quickly opened her eyes and followed him quietly.

"Master Yang, what happened? Why did you summon us so urgently this time?"

Cui Kun and Li Wu disguised themselves, avoided the eyes and ears of the Yang family, and came to Yang Yi's study.

"The one in the palace sent someone to deliver a message a few days ago. He heard that the sword that General Liu obtained that year had appeared in the martial arts world.

Let us make sure to investigate this matter thoroughly and see if it is the one Liu Bing took, and find a way to take it back.

General Li, you are very skilled in martial arts. If you were to fight against Liu Bing, what are your chances of winning?

The master will send several experts to assist you when the time comes, and you must make sure this matter is completed."

Yang Yi conveyed the order from the person in the palace.

“Master Yang, you can rest assured about this. It shouldn’t be a problem if the master sends someone over.

I lost to your wife before because I was careless and underestimated her determination to die.

I didn't expect that she would take us off the cliff with the intention of dying with us.

Fortunately, we were fully prepared and did not get smashed to pieces when we fell."

Hearing that his master would send an expert to help him, Li Wu was full of confidence.

For more than a year, he has been hiding in a secluded mountain to train soldiers, and his martial arts skills have improved a lot.

“That’s good. Have you heard about these two largest restaurants in the world that have been very popular recently?

If Liu Bing was really near You'an City, she would probably come to this restaurant to find out.

I have already sent people to keep a close eye on the restaurant's every move in secret.

If she comes, it will be up to you, General Li.

My wife invested 20,000 taels of silver in it. If Liu Bing doesn't come, I will suffer a great loss."

Thinking of all that money, Yang Yi felt distressed.

“Sir Yang, your wife’s idea is actually very good, and it should have been done a long time ago.

You have been secretly investigating Liu Bing's whereabouts for so long but haven't found her. By searching in this high-profile way, maybe she will really come.

The mine that our master asked us to mine has recently exchanged a lot of silver, and two boxes of them are yours.

I came in a hurry this time and didn't deliver it to you.

You can decide whether we should deliver it to you next time or you can send someone to bring it back.

You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. If you succeed in the future, the master will definitely benefit from you.”

Li Wu gave Yang Yi a knowing look.

"Master Yang, we don't want to borrow money from you, so stop crying poor.

Look at all these boxes of silver you have; there are so many that the storehouse can’t even hold them all.”

Cui Kun looked at the several large boxes in the secret room and curled his lips.

After all, he had been a county magistrate for several years, and he knew exactly how much money a prefect could earn.

“It’s not that the warehouse can’t hold it, it’s that we simply don’t dare to put it there.

I just had the housekeeper and his men move in quietly yesterday.

Otherwise, I would be worried day and night, and one day I might wake up and find that all the money in the mansion has been taken away."

Thinking of his wife's strange behavior over the past two days, Yang Yi touched the boxes containing silver and sighed.

"Hey, why is this box so light?"

Yang Yi was surprised to find that he could move the boxes without much effort, and he started to move them.

It was surprisingly easy to lift, and each box was easy to lift.

He quickly opened the box containing the silver and found that it was empty.

"How is that possible? I asked the housekeeper to bring people in quietly yesterday.

The box was clearly filled with real gold and silver, so why did all the silver disappear?"

Yang Yi's face suddenly changed drastically, and he touched the empty boxes in shock.

When he asked the housekeeper to move the silver over yesterday, he clearly opened and checked every box.
