Chapter 93
She dragged out Old Zhu, who had a better relationship with Li Mao, into the yard, then took away his sword and threw it outside the door.
After finishing everything, he lit the aphrodisiac incense and locked the house from the outside.
The dozens of officials who bullied the public should finally suffer some consequences!
Especially the general.
Before Ruan Mian left the house, he knocked the candlestick to the ground.
After doing this, she ran to other rooms without stopping.
The officials here don't have as many servants as those in Kyoto.
There were only a few people in charge, and they were all recruited from among the convicts.
The general is holding a banquet today and servants are strictly prohibited from going there, so Ruan Mian can move freely in this small mansion.
It was just a few thatched huts, and she quickly looted some of the things inside.
When she came to Sun Jian's study, she found it was cleaner than she had imagined.
Apart from some tables, chairs, and food, there was nothing valuable.
But Prosecutor Sun was obviously not an honest person, so Ruan Mian carefully checked in the study and indeed saw something unusual under the desk.
She pulled aside the animal skin blanket and saw a path leading to the cellar.
After entering, we found that the cellar was full of goods from border trade.
There is cotton unique to the Lanqiang Kingdom, a lot of wind-dried peat, and many weapons.
Among them are explosives similar to detonators.
The leads are extremely long.
The last time Ruan Mian looted the Xuanjia Army’s arsenal, although there were many weapons and turrets in it, there was no such hidden explosives.
I guess he had a secret relationship with the Lanqiang Kingdom.
Above him was the Governor. The original book did not mention the relationship between the Governor and General Huo, but they both managed the Wuheng land at the same time, and Huo Zong was sent later.
She boldly speculated that the two men must be incompatible, and the court must have become suspicious of the governor, worried that he was in cahoots with the Prince of Yan.
That's why Huo Zong was also put in charge of the border defense of Wuheng.
Of course, this is just Ruan Mian's guess. As for the specific situation, she doesn't care about it for now.
The most urgent thing is to get all these things into your pocket!
She should expand her space warehouse.
Anyway, don’t miss out on something that comes for free.
However, beyond that, she also found an unexpected surprise.
That is the ledger of the peat trade.
She opened it and found that it clearly stated how many times they had shipped goods in the past year, how much silver they had sold, and who were the servants responsible for transporting the goods and mining.
Ruan Mian put it into the space without hesitation. After leaving the house, he found that the front room was on fire and people were howling one after another.
She curled the corners of her lips, turned and walked out of the mansion, disappearing into the darkness.
Although she doesn't have a horse, she has a spiritual beast in the space.
Ruan Mian discovered that no matter whether the spirit beast was in the space or was kept outside the space, as long as she summoned it in the space, the spirit beast would immediately appear beside her.
The big white tiger was too conspicuous as a mount, so she called over the little deer.
The big white tiger howled twice, as if it was not happy that Ruan Mian didn't want it, and kept moving closer to her, wanting Ruan Mian to sit on it.
This cute and innocent look is really lovable.
So she touched the big white tiger's head and coaxed her.
"I'll sneak you out next time. You're all my babies!"
As a result, the white tiger obediently lay down beside the spiritual spring.
At the same time, Ruan Mian rode the deer and quickly returned to the shelter camp.
I don’t know if it was the effect of the spiritual spring water, but when the little deer appeared in the form of a space spiritual deer, it was obviously larger in size, very strong, and able to walk very fast, not inferior to a horse at all.
When she thought about the fawn becoming a normal animal, it was able to change back into the appearance of a fawn.
Ruan Mian returned safely and no one said anything.
Until the next day.
The news from the general's mansion finally reached everyone's ears.
At that time, they had already gone to work at the lumberyard. During lunch break, Ruan Mian and his friends ate buns and listened to the conversation of the officials not far away.
"Have you heard? The general was burned alive last night!!"
"Not only that, but the room where the banquet was held was... it was also quite unsightly!"
The officer even lowered his voice. The other officer who heard this was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth and couldn't believe it.
"If... so lewd? That's too bold! What about the fire?"
"Only one soldier escaped, but he left behind his sword. People say he might have set the fire, but he's nowhere to be found now."
They were shocked and surprised, while Ruan Mian beside them calmly finished the remaining buns. Mei Xi looked at Ruan Mian a few more times and couldn't help but step forward to ask, "Miss, were you okay yesterday?"
"I left early yesterday and escaped that disaster."
"That would be great."
Before Ruan Xi could say anything, Yun Xiu came over and reminded Ruan Mian, "Madam Ruan, we've brought the little deer here. Shall we leave now?"
Mei Xi had just arranged for the officials to take an extra hour's rest as they were tired before going to meet the people from the Jinsha tribe.
For safety reasons, Ruan Mian didn't let them follow.
This is to avoid being seen by other convicts and reported to the prison guards, which would then make it even more difficult for them to establish connections.
Yun Xiu was worried: "Madam Ruan, I'd better go with you. I want to protect you."
"I'll be fine. He's just a kid. Besides, we both have flares. If anything goes wrong, I'll blow it."
This was prepared by Ruan Mian before coming to the shelter camp. He sent it to a few close people to ensure that everyone could send signals in time if they encountered any accidents.
After hearing this, Yun Xiu didn't follow.
However, there was still a little tail following Ruan Mian.
When she arrived at the agreed place, she did not see any members of the Jinsha tribe.
She put the two fawns on the ground and watched them running around in the snow. She felt that the world seemed to have become beautiful.
Unfortunately, the "little tail" behind him suddenly scolded.
"You little bitch! Were you the one who did it last night? You burned the general to death!"
Hearing this, Ruan Mian slowly turned around and saw Li Mao following him.
She smiled lightly and asked calmly.
"Master Li, I'm just a woman. How could I have the extraordinary ability to burn the general to death?"
"You still say no?! You were clearly taken into the house yesterday, but you were unharmed and returned to the internment camp as if nothing had happened! Who else could it be if not you?!"
He scolded and jumped up and down.
"You must have accomplices behind you! Tell me, who's behind this? No wonder you weren't afraid at all when Old Zhu and the others took you away yesterday. You must have been prepared, you little bitch."
"Master Li, you flatter me. I'm single and have been tricked by you old gentlemen. How could anyone else cooperate with me?"
