Chapter 414: Driving Away Magistrate Cao's Family
Fu Xuanheng responded calmly, showing no signs of abnormality. However, his heart was filled with shock and fear. This man was hiding in the government office.
The man thought that a palm wind would make Fu Xuanheng retreat.
Who knew that Fu Xuanheng couldn't do it.
But still very good at fighting.
He dodged and feinted, then disappeared in front of Shen Yunyue and the others.
Fu Xuanheng lowered his eyes and did not chase after her.
"This person is not from the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Fu Xuanheng closed his eyes and moved his ears.
He needed to see if there was anyone else here, it seemed...
Fu Xuanheng opened his eyes.
Shen Yunyue took the initiative to hold his hand, "Did you find anything?"
"here."
Fu Xuanheng came to the bookshelf and reached out to lift up the calligraphy hanging next to the bookshelf.
On the wall.
There is nothing unusual.
Fu Xuanheng knocked along the wall, and the sound in one place was different.
He pressed it down hard.
The bookshelf began to turn.
Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue looked at each other, and then walked in after the bookshelf was opened.
It is a long and narrow passage.
In the passage, there are two fist-sized luminous pearls embedded.
Shen Yunyue took a look silently.
Fu Xuanheng understood what she meant and jumped up to grab the night pearl.
Shen Yunyue has already taken a mining lamp.
Wait until Fu Xuanheng falls to the ground.
She put the mining lamp on Fu Xuanheng's head, and the two continued walking down the passage together.
Go inside.
There is a secret room containing various correspondences.
As well as top-quality gold, silver and jewelry, and some rare ancient books.
Shen Yunyue put all of these into the space.
She loved these rare ancient books that could not be bought even with money. The prosperity of a family did not depend on the amount of money, but on the students supported by these rare ancient books.
Fu Xuanheng continued forward and took an ancient book to look at it.
"Many of these were the work of Magistrate Cao, who deceived others."
"How do you know?"
Fu Xuanheng's unique copy, "I remember this copy belonged to the Jiumu Lin family. If I remember correctly, the Lin family got into trouble a few years ago."
The presiding official at that time was the father of Magistrate Cao.
Fu Xuanheng handed all the rare copies to Shen Yunyue, "Take them all. We'll build an academy in the future for students all over the world to read."
"good."
Shen Yunyue is good at storing things.
After collecting the things outside, I found a secret room inside.
This secret room is interesting.
There is a Zhurong Ding inside.
After touching it, I found that this tripod had not been used for many years.
Shen Yunyue didn't understand.
What's the point of putting an unused tripod in a secret room?
She put it into the space without saying a word.
"Forget it. There's nothing much in the Nan'an Prefecture's government treasury. There are only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and a few tens of thousands of taels of gold. The most valuable items are just jewelry and a few rare ancient books."
The two returned to Magistrate Cao's study.
Fu Xuanheng asked:
"Going to the backyard?"
"go."
The two of them swaggered into the backyard.
Naturally, Magistrate Cao and his family could not live in their original house, so they all moved to the main courtyard in the backyard.
When Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng entered the main courtyard.
Cao Xijin saw the two of them come in.
Shocked.
"Why you?"
Cao Xijin ran over from behind and pointed at Fu Xuanheng.
An Wu stepped forward and broke his fingers with force, causing Cao Xijin to scream in pain.
"Ahhh, spare me."
"Dad, save me..."
"Let go."
Mrs. Cao's eyes were bloodshot and she looked at her little son with heartache.
Anwu pushed hard and Cao Xijin fell to the ground.
It’s a very cold day.
I was in so much pain that my forehead was covered in sweat.
Prefect Cao's knees felt weak, and the fat on his chin trembled. "Young Prince, I, Cao, believe I haven't offended you, right?"
He had been posted abroad a long time ago and was not involved in party disputes.
Fu Xuanheng glanced at him nonchalantly and said, "You haven't offended me. I just want to take over Nan'an Prefecture."
"You'll have two choices. One is to leave here and go back to the capital."
"Second? Die here."
Magistrate Cao's eyes rolled around, thinking he had misheard.
Shouldn't Fu Xuanheng want to recruit him for his own use?
"That's it?" Magistrate Cao was dumbfounded.
The other members of the Cao family were also shocked.
I thought Fu Xuanheng would persuade me to surrender, but I didn't expect him not to even give me a chance.
This... is too much.
"That's it. Don't you want to?" Fu Xuanheng sneered, "Not everyone can be mine."
Finished.
He said coldly:
"I'll give you one hour. Don't even think about collecting your gold, silver, or valuables."
"roll……."
Fu Xuanheng didn't originally want to be so ruthless.
But when I see Cao Xijin, I think of the dirty things this kid has done.
Suddenly, I felt sick.
Magistrate Cao always felt that something was wrong.
Fu Xuanheng let their family live here, probably because he wanted to use them for his own benefit.
But now...
Looking at Fu Xuanheng again, his eyes were full of disgust.
Fu Xuanheng took Shen Yunyue back to the government office. After Magistrate Cao and his family left, he and Shen Yunyue returned to the backyard.
"Master. They took some personal clothing and some silver."
An Wu told Shen Yunyue everything one by one.
"I took a look, and it's about three thousand taels of silver. Everyone chose the most expensive clothes to wear, and even took some pearls and jade jewelry."
Shen Yunyue nodded.
There was no intention to kill them all, so there was no need to raid their homes.
"Yes. Tell them that it would be best to hire someone from the escort agency to follow them."
"yes."
An Wu called over a clever boy and said a few words to him.
Shen Yunyue went to the warehouse.
After all, it is the prefect's house.
The family background is quite good.
She put some of the valuable items into the space, and asked An Wu to send people to inventory the rest.
"Give each soldier two taels of silver from the warehouse in the east." Shen Yunyue ordered An Wu.
She wandered around the backyard for a few yards.
I have no interest in shopping anymore.
It’s different now than before. I don’t think about putting everything into the space.
After all, it was their people who became prefects later.
These need to be stored in the warehouse.
The soldiers in the army need military pay, and Shen Yunyue needs to take this into consideration.
I can't do whatever I want like before.
Shen Yunyue pouted and sighed:
"Xuan Heng, we should not stay here tonight."
The government office was too... Shen Yunyue was speechless when she thought about it.
"Let's stay at an inn."
Fu Xuanheng whispered, "I'll take you back to the Zhou Mansion first, and then pick you up at the inn in the evening."
"You don't have to send me off. Xiaojiu can just accompany me."
"good."
Fu Xuanheng did not insist any longer.
He really still has a lot to do.
"Yunyue, you will be responsible for arranging the affairs of the Zhou family." Fu Xuanheng gently reminded him, "There is no need for the Zhou family to stay in Nan'an Mansion. You decide where to send them."
"Um."
Shen Yunyue responded and left.
Arrived at Zhou Mansion.
Shen Cifang has already gotten up.
Shen Yunyue gave her a special medicine, and after only one hour of sleep, the swelling on her face disappeared.
"aunt."
When Shen Cifang heard Shen Yunyue's voice, she turned around with tears in her eyes.
"Yun Yue."
She took a step forward and hugged Shen Yunyue tightly.
I couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears.
It was as if I wanted to cry out all the grievances I had suffered in the past few years.
"Aunt. Everything is over. My cousin will be better than before."
She patted Shen Cifang's shoulder soothingly.
"Auntie is so useless. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Shen Cifang sobbed bitterly, "Is everyone in the family okay?"
"I heard Shihan Prefecture was hit by a disaster. I sold some jewelry and asked someone to buy some food to send over." Shen Cifang became increasingly sad and upset as she spoke. "On the way, I encountered robbers."
The incident was discovered by Mrs. Zhou again.
The old lady said that she had emptied out her husband's house and filled her own family's, and even took away all her dowry.
It makes me sad just thinking about it…
"Aunt. If you want revenge and want to take back what's yours."
"It's what my cousin and his friends got, so we should take it back openly."
Shen Cifang hesitated.
"After the divorce, can you really take my children with you?"
"able."
"Let me get dressed." Shen Cifang wiped her tears, "Yunyue, your swelling-reducing medicine is quite effective."
"Yeah. It's really useful."
Shen Yunyue asked Bayanian to accompany her to the storehouse. "Let's go to the old lady's storehouse in the main courtyard. I heard there are pearl hairpins from the capital. Aunt, why not wear the most valuable pearl hairpin in the Zhou Mansion?"
"Okay."
Shen Cifang didn't hesitate at all.
He took Bayian and the nanny beside him and went to the old lady's private vault in the main courtyard in a threatening manner.
Shen Yunyue came to Zhou Yuanze's bed.
"Thank you, cousin."
"There's no need to be polite between relatives. But if my aunt gets divorced, does my cousin want to stay in the Zhou Mansion or go with her?" Shen Yunyue brought up the most realistic topic.
"Mother, she..." Zhou Yuanze sighed, "Of course I want to follow Mother. Father has too many children around him."
"He has long forgotten that I am his eldest son."
He knew in his heart that his father wanted to pass the family business to his half-brother.
Even his own brother couldn't get involved in it.
Speaking of which...it's really ridiculous.
The children of the legitimate wife live worse than the children of illegitimate wives.
