Chapter 18 Empty the Hou Mansion
When Jiang Nanyuan heard the sound outside, she immediately slipped into the space.
As soon as she entered the space, the door of the study was pushed open and Jiang Nanfeng walked in from outside.
He first looked around at the door, and seeing that there was no one around, he felt confused.
Strange, I just heard a sound in the study? Could it be that I heard it wrong?
Jiang Nanfeng was worried and called out two secret guards to inquire about the situation. He learned that no one came and he was indeed overly worried.
Then he left again.
Jiang Nanyuan was in no hurry to leave the space. Jiang Nanfeng was suspicious by nature, and she was afraid that he would come back in a while.
Sure enough, after a few moments, Jiang Nanfeng came back again and checked the study inside and out again.
Then he moved the mechanism into the dark room and checked the things in the dark room again. Seeing that nothing was missing, he felt relieved and left the dark room.
What he didn't know was that when he entered the dark room, Jiang Nanyuan came out of the space using the invisibility technique and followed him all the time.
After Jiang Nanfeng left, Jiang Nanyuan appeared. She first looked around the secret room.
The space of this secret room is not big. There is a desk inside and seven or eight boxes placed not far away.
There was a pile of envelopes on the desk, and nothing else.
Jiang Nanyuan thought that the boxes should contain gold, silver, jewelry or rare treasures, so she walked forward and opened them.
I was almost dazzled by the things inside. These boxes were all weapons, including swords, long swords, and even bows and crossbows.
Jiang Nanfeng actually secretly hoarded so many weapons. What on earth does she want to do?
Jiang Nanyuan couldn't figure it out, so she waved her hand and put all the boxes of weapons into the space. Then she walked to the desk and saw the pile of envelopes on the table.
She picked one at random and took out the letter inside. She was surprised to find that the contents were all the daily correspondence between him and the second prince.
It turned out that the weapons in this secret room were all stored by him for the second prince.
The second prince was planning to rebel, and they had been secretly stockpiling private troops.
Jiang Nanyuan quickly looked through all the envelopes on the table. When she saw one of the envelopes, her eyes narrowed dangerously.
It turns out that they were secretly planning this!
In the letter, she learned that the person they feared most now was the God of War Prince Xiao Yuchen.
They have impeached Xiao Yuchen to the emperor, saying that he wants to form a clique for personal gain, start a rebellion, and has the intention of treason.
Xiao Yuchen has won many military exploits on the border in recent years. Not long ago, he repelled the northern barbarians and returned victorious.
However, he never expected that he would be ambushed on the way back and seriously injured.
And all this was the work of the Second Prince and Jiang Nanfeng.
They had jointly submitted a memorial to impeach Xiao Yuchen for plotting rebellion, and the foolish emperor actually believed it.
Jiang Nanyuan also found an imperial edict in Jiang Nanfeng's study. She opened it and took a look. It turned out that the foolish emperor believed what they said.
Now a tight net has been laid, waiting for Xiao Yuchen to enter Beijing, and then he will be arrested and thrown into jail.
Not only that, the imperial edict also listed the names of officials whose property the emperor wanted to confiscate. Jiang Nanyuan saw Lin Zhaoye's name on the edict.
It turns out that this is what they were planning!
Haha, you want to confiscate your property? Then I'll empty your mansion first!
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyuan put the imperial edict back to its original place, and then she put all the other things in the secret room into the space.
Not only that, after Jiang Nanyuan came out of Jiang Nanfeng's study, she went to the old lady's yard and put all the valuable things in the old lady's house into the space.
She didn't keep any of the ornaments in the house, including her jewelry and hairpins.
Next, she went to Liu Shuang's yard. When she arrived at Liu Shuang's yard, she was surprised to find that Liu Shuang had not slept yet. She was still in the house throwing tantrums and throwing things.
After listening for a while, I realized that the reason she was angry was because Jiang Nanfeng stayed at Luo Yurou's place today.
Since she hadn't slept yet, Jiang Nanyuan went to someone else's yard first.
She emptied out everything in the house and every yard.
Now only Liu Shuang's yard is left, and the other one is Jiang Wenjin's yard.
Returning to Liu Shuang's yard again, Jiang Nanyuan saw that she was still awake. She took out some smoke and blew it towards her room.
Soon she was lying on the bed unconscious. Jiang Nanyuan quickly put all the things in her room into the space. She had a lot of good things here.
Although there were quite a few things, she found that Lin Zhixue's dowry was not among them.
She searched her room again but found no secret compartment.
Could it be that those things were not hidden in her mansion, but somewhere else?
Jiang Nanyuan thought of this possibility and was about to leave when she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Liu Shuang's lying position seemed a little different.
It seemed that the place where she was lying was bulging. Jiang Nanyuan walked up to her, pulled her down from her sleeping position, and threw her to the ground.
Then she touched her bed board and found that it was different. This board was higher, so she lifted it up.
I actually discovered that there is a tunnel leading downwards!
Haha, this Liu Shuang is really amazing! She actually built a secret passage under the bed where she sleeps!
Jiang Nanyuan was curious about where this secret passage led to. She took out the night pearl and walked into the tunnel. The further she went down, the more spacious it became.
After walking for a while, the road ahead was blocked. It seemed that the tunnel had not been opened yet.
However, Jiang Nanyuan was not without gain. It turned out that Liu Shuang had hidden Lin Zhixue's dowry in this tunnel.
She still put all these things into the space and turned back along the tunnel.
She restored her bed and strode away without caring about Liu Shuang who was still lying on the ground.
She finally came to Jiang Wenjin's yard. Jiang Wenjin's yard was quiet, and she wanted to search for some things into the space.
But when she came here, she found that the most valuable things here at Jiang Wenjin's place were the pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
She had no interest in those, so she didn't take them.
Jiang Nanyuan did not return to her own courtyard. She came to the Duke's Mansion again in the evening.
The Duke's Mansion is now heavily guarded, and it has not yet come to the point of ransacking the property. She wants to empty out all the things in the Mansion in advance.
Aren't they planning to confiscate my property? Fine, let them confiscate nothing!
Jiang Nanyuan sneaked into the Duke's Mansion again and ransacked the entire mansion, and that's not all.
She even went to the residences of the Second Prince and Wang Luofeng of a different surname to search around.
Whether it was money in public or things hidden in secret, she found them all and put them into the space.
After searching the houses of the two of them, she went on to search the houses of the families that were convicted in the imperial edict.
Anyway, their property was going to be confiscated, so it would be better for her to benefit the foolish emperor.
