Xinglin Yaxu had only been able to hear a few sounds outside the space before.
Just a few days ago, she accidentally discovered that she could see the outside world through the peephole on the door!
Could it be that the functions of this space have gradually become more complete as she has been in this strange world?
As she watched Jia Wensheng raise the lantern high in his hand and carefully examine the items in the room, she secretly wondered when the basement in the backyard could be opened.
Time passed little by little. After Jia Wensheng carefully checked the objects placed in the secret room, he turned and walked towards the door!
Just when Si Jinxing thought he was about to walk out of the secret room, he suddenly stopped, which scared Si Jinxing so much that she held her breath!
Jia Wensheng did not step out of the secret room, but reached out and pressed a blue brick behind the shelf!
Si Jinxing stared in amazement at the wooden door at the end that creaked open...
Is Jia Wensheng born in the Year of the Rabbit? He's really good at hiding it!
She followed Jia Wensheng and walked towards the secret room in the secret room!
Just at this moment, Jia Wensheng suddenly frowned, turned around and looked back twice before continuing to move forward.
Si Jinxing knew that he couldn't see her, but the feeling of his eyes sweeping over her just now was really scary!
She breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw Jia Wensheng lighting the candle in the secret room, she quickly took a look inside!
Just this one glance really frightened her!
This this this.....
All that caught my eye were vulgar things like gold and silver ingots, hundreds of boxes full of them!
It's so bright and shiny that it almost blinded the eyes of a certain money-loving woman!
This... is probably even more abundant than Emperor Chongde's treasury, right?
Si Jinxing swallowed secretly while she quickly tidied up the space in the backyard, hoping to make some more room!
Can.......
Those millions of kilograms of grain are really too much!
She was so anxious that she turned around and sighed: If I had known that I would be able to travel through time one day, I would have bought a house with a big yard no matter what!
Si Jinxing was just thinking about playing, but suddenly thought of...
There’s nothing on the roof yet!
She quickly ran to the third floor of Xinglin Yaxu and came to the balcony of the south bedroom.
In my previous life, as long as I stood on the balcony on the third floor, I could see very far away!
But now, there was fog outside her balcony, as if she was floating in the sky and surrounded by clouds!
She climbed up the ladder, stretched her neck and looked at the roof, and immediately burst into joy.
Although the roof of this nearly 100-square-meter house is a little foggy, it is still suitable for placing some things.
She quickly ran back to the first floor and looked out through the peephole, only to find that Jia Wensheng had already left.
I think that person found that there was no sign of moving in the secret room of the Heyan Village ancestral hall, but something was lost, so he hurried back to the mansion to check the secret room here!
But how could he have imagined that the thief was right under his nose!
Si Jinxing's men did not waste any time and moved all the gold and silver to the roof of the third floor in a few seconds!
She clapped her hands, looked at the ransacked secret room, and was about to leave, but found that she didn't know where the exit mechanism was.
She curled her lips. If it weren't for Xinglin Yaxu, she would not have survived until now!
Si Jinxing flashed into the pharmacy space, passed through the wall, and arrived at the first secret room behind the study.
She reached out and picked up an account book, glanced at it casually, and found that it was an account book of a rice shop.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that the selling price recorded above was as high as five taels of silver per stone of rice!
Before she came, she learned that the price of rice in Longyin had always fluctuated between two and three taels.
But the prices in Jia Wensheng's shop are twice as high, or even more!
No wonder he embezzled so much food. He took the food that the people had worked so hard to grow and came back to continue harming them!
Si Jinxing took the account book and realized that Jia Wensheng really had no bottom line in doing things!
A sharp light flashed in her eyes. Those who do evil will eventually perish. Just wait and see!
Fortunately, the account books, letters and other items in this secret room did not take up space. Si Jinxing waved his hand and put them all into the space.
When she left the secret room, she found that Jia Wensheng had left the study.
As soon as she tiptoed out of the yard, she heard low voices of conversation!
"That Mr. Ding, he's been your steward for nearly twenty years, and he's been tied up just like that!"
"I just don't know what he did to make the Lord so angry!"
Si Jinxing, who was hiding in the dark, saw two palace soldiers walking forward in the faint moonlight.
Master Ding?
Suddenly, she remembered that when she was in Baifulou, someone seemed to say: "My surname is Ding!"
Was it the head of Heyan Village who was arrested?
In a flash, she thought that she had been following Jia Wensheng for twenty years and must know a lot about his past!
if......
Just when she was about to search the house, someone suddenly grabbed her collar!
Si Jinxing subconsciously wanted to punch him, but then he heard the man whisper, "It's me!"
It’s Bai Xi’s voice!
Si Jinxing put away his fist and asked in a low voice, "Where's Qingchan? Why is it you?"
Bai Xi did not answer, but just grabbed the ignorant little princess, avoided the palace soldiers, and jumped out of the Jia Mansion!
In an alley not far from the Jia Mansion, Qing Chan saw her princess being held in the palm of Bai Xi's hand, and she was so angry that she walked up and slapped him.
While helping Si Jinxing tidy up her wrinkled clothes, she said:
"Jia Wensheng suddenly returned home and brought back the village head with him tied up.
Mr. Huang continued to advise that the only person missing from Heyan Village was the headman's old father, and there must be something fishy going on.
Jia Wensheng then gave an order and had the man thrown into the private prison in the mansion!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing turned her head and glanced in the direction of the Jia Mansion, and said in a cold voice:
"Let that old fox run wild for two more days!"
She glanced at Bai Xi and ordered, "When you get back, send someone to tell Ding Lizheng not to let him die like this!"
Bai Xi nodded in agreement.
When the three of them returned to the house, as soon as they entered the door, they heard a secret guard come to report:
"Just now, a thief with a lecherous look was hanging around outside the house for a while. I sent someone to follow him and found that he finally returned to the residence of Jia Wensheng, the governor of Xuzhou."
Hearing this, Si Jinxing frowned and said:
"Jia Wensheng is very thoughtful. He might have targeted one of us. We all need to be more careful in the future and continue to take good care of the house."
The man quickly agreed.
Si Jinxing walked towards her yard, turned to look at Bai Xi, and asked:
"Didn't you go to Fu Tong's house? Why are you back so soon? Did you find out something?"
Bai Xi took two steps forward, leaned close to Si Jinxing's ear, and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing stopped in her tracks. A light flashed in her eyes, and she asked in surprise:
"Is this true?"
