There were three guards in front of the warehouse. Unlike the patrolling officers and soldiers, they did not make jokes. They stood in front of the door motionlessly, carrying big swords.

Looking at the situation, there must be something extraordinary inside.

Jiang Yue hid in the darkness, her hands itching. She squatted down, fumbled on the ground, and found a stone.

She recently had a sudden idea to practice "hidden weapons".

Isn't that what martial arts novels all about? Unleashing hidden weapons without making a sound, without even having to fight. It's so effortless and hassle-free, and it's so cool.

She practiced many times when she had nothing to do, but unfortunately there was no result. Her dream of becoming a female knight was severely hit.

Jiang Yue looked forward seriously with half-closed eyes, carefully aimed at the target, then swung his arm vigorously and the stone flew out.

With a "click", the stone was thrown off course and landed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Her dream of becoming a heroine was completely shattered.

"What's that sound?!"

"Who's there?! Come out!"

The guards had stern faces and seemed to be about to come over.

“Squeak—”

They instantly breathed a sigh of relief and stood still, "It turned out to be a rat..."

Jiang Yue gritted her teeth and elbowed back, hitting Jiang Nian. His chest trembled slightly, and he had been holding back a laugh since just now.

Jiang Nian tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, not wanting to embarrass Jiang Yue.

He half-bent over and moved closer, sliding his right hand down her arm and picking up another stone.

He whispered in her ear, "It's not your fault that you can't see clearly at night."

“That’s right!”

"It's okay, try again and I'll teach you."

Jiang Nian's pupils glowed faintly in the night. His chest pressed against Jiang Yue's back, his large hand gripping hers. He fixed his eyes on the target, his elbow driving his wrist, and threw it forward with all his might.

He is strong and his movements are quick and decisive.

Stones flew out, and there was a sound of breaking wind. In an instant, the lanterns under the eaves shook and one of them went out.

The guard turned around when he heard the noise, "Is it the wind that's too strong?"

"What are you asking? Is it the strong wind or the ghost?" The two men looked brave, but it was only on the surface. When the lights were turned off, they became agitated.

Another shouted, "It's just the lights went out, don't make a fuss! What ghosts?! Don't mention those things!"

In the past two years, countless people have died in the city. It's scary to talk about these things. It's very unlucky and inauspicious.

He was obviously the leader, and his expression was calm. The other two did not dare to refute him.

He pointed at one of them and ordered, "Go, find a tinderbox and light the lantern again. There's a rule in the mansion that lights can't be extinguished here."

"yes."

The person who was ordered immediately ran towards the kitchen. Unexpectedly, when passing by a dark bush, someone covered his mouth, dragged him inside, and beat him unconscious, without him being able to utter a single cry.

In front of the warehouse, two guards looked up at the eaves and were about to pick up the blown-out lantern.

Suddenly, another lantern went out.

"Is the wind so strong tonight? Why is the other light out? I didn't even feel any wind."

"You're thick-skinned, what's there to say?"

"Hey, how can you talk like that!"

"Why hasn't the second brother come back yet? It's so dark that I can't even see his face..."

They didn't know what was going on, but everyone except them was called to the front yard. It was quiet there, but suddenly they heard the sound of pebbles falling behind them.

The two men looked at each other first, gripped the knife handles tightly, and then turned around.

Two dark figures flashed before my eyes, like ghosts, moving quickly and without any sound of footsteps.

Ghost!

The two of them stared with their eyes wide open, their minds fluttering. Before they could react, they were knocked unconscious and dragged into a corner.

The key was hanging on the waist of the guard who gave orders. Jiang Yue pulled it off and compared it, and it was indeed the key to the warehouse.

There was no sound inside, just as she thought, it must be stillness.

After walking in and closing the door, Jiang Yue took out a flashlight. The moment she saw the things in the warehouse clearly, she couldn't help but smile.

The warehouse did not contain the gold, silver and treasures she had thought. Instead, it was filled with rice and wheat, all in their husks, making them easy to preserve.

This means that these are not the food for daily consumption in the mansion, so they must have other granaries.

The grain shops in the city usually also have granaries.

With the gifts from the rich families in the city, the government's own official land, and the fact that this gentleman is so good at amassing wealth, it's hard to say how much treasury he has.

The two looked at each other, "There are two warehouses here, is there the one next to it as well?"

"Shall we take them all?"

Jiang Yue shook her head, "Just take the ones from this warehouse."

One warehouse wouldn't be too much of a burden, but if they took too much, if there was a bloody storm in the city, it would be difficult for them to escape. As for the rest, they could just keep them. After all, the government still had a lot of people on its payroll.

Jiang Yue acted quickly and emptied the entire warehouse.

After the two men finished stealing, they fled.

The guards were still lying in the dark corner, and no one reported the news.

Everyone was still trying to catch the thief in the front yard, but they were so busy that they couldn't control the front yard and the fire broke out in the back yard.

The white fox had a gloomy face and sniffed around the servants but couldn't find the key.

As for the maids who served in her room, they were tortured to death and still couldn't tell what they looked like. No new people had come in recently, so no one knew how she got in.

The white fox was filled with anger, mixed with a bit of fear.

"Auntie, there is one servant missing from your room..." The housekeeper was trembling with fear, fearing that something bad might happen.

“Where are the people?!”

At this time, the maid who had fallen in her room woke up and crawled out, crying to her, saying that she had been knocked unconscious and her outer clothes had been stripped off.

The white fox and the adult were shocked and hurried back to her room. Everything in the room had been moved, and it was obvious that someone had searched through it.

Coming specifically for her? Did he know some secret? Could he be Baihu and the others' helper?

The white fox closed the door to isolate himself from the mixed smells outside.

She walked around the house, but the strong incense interfered with her sense of smell and she couldn't smell anything unusual.

Except for the strong smell of blood.

Moreover, the smell of blood was particularly familiar to her.

The white fox began to panic and his face became paler and paler.

The prefect stood aside, not knowing what she was sniffing back and forth, when he suddenly felt water dripping on his face.

He wiped it with his hand and it was sticky and smelled of rust.

It hasn't rained in the past two days. Where does the water come from?

He looked up and collapsed to the ground in fear, opening his mouth wide and trying to shout for help but his voice failed.

On the beam above his head, a huge black snake stuck out its tongue at him, its vertical pupils staring at him intently.

His thighs trembled and his heart felt cold.

Is this the end of my life today?
