Chapter 105 A Mess
At this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion has already become a mess.
Ye Er had already arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Yun Li. An Ye and An Bai also shook off the guards and came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion smoothly.
Yun Qingshan was fed the antidote by the palace doctor. When he woke up, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes and hurried to the study.
Yun Li asked Ye Er to put a common drug in Yun Qingshan's room. Even if there was no antidote, it would automatically dissolve the drug the next morning. It just made him sleep more deeply.
When he came to the study and saw the dead guard on the ground, he thought to himself that something was wrong and suddenly panicked.
He hurried to the bookshelf and saw the flower pot had been moved. His face turned pale in an instant. He moved the flower pot with trembling hands, and the mechanism was opened.
Yun Qingshan shouted coldly: "Come quickly!"
Several guards came in. "Master! Your subordinates are here!"
"Let me in and take a look!"
"yes!"
He was a little scared and didn't dare to go down alone, so he asked a few guards to go in front and he followed behind all the way to the basement.
The forty-eight night pearls on the walls on both sides of the passage were still there, which made him feel a little relieved.
When he arrived at the place where the treasure was hidden, the huge place was empty, and the dense bows and arrows scattered on the ground made his scalp tingle.
“Ah…Ahhh…”
Yun Qingshan collapsed and knelt on the ground, holding his head and shouting loudly
"This is all my life's work! Who is it! Who is trying to make things difficult for me..." Yun Qingshan said with gritted teeth.
Then he sat motionless on the ground in a daze, his eyes unfocused, staring at the wall.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He asked the guards beside him: "Have you caught the thief again?"
Several guards shook their heads, and one of them replied, "Master, we didn't catch him. The thief is very skilled in martial arts, and we are no match for him..."
"How many people are there in total?"
"At first, one person showed up, and then two more came to help. Those two helpers were even more powerful..."
Yun Qingshan was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Waste! With so many of you, you can't even catch three people? You are just waste! I have raised you for nothing all these years."
Several guards lowered their heads and dared not look directly at him.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Are you sure there are three of you?"
The guards looked at each other, then nodded in unison: "Yes, sir! It's just three people. We can confirm it!"
"Did you see them come into the study? If there were only three of them, how did they move all this stuff out? It would have made quite a noise just moving it!"
The guards were completely bewildered, as they had no idea what was stored in the basement.
I can only shake my head blankly
"Oh! It's bad, it's bad!" Yun Qingshan seemed to have thought of something and kept slapping his thigh with a look of regret.
The three thieves who broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion were probably just trying to cover up their mistake. The secret passage he dug in the basement leading to the outside of the city must have been discovered. There must be a group of people working together from inside and outside to carry away the treasures directly from the passage.
He regrets it... He really regrets it!
I had originally promised to move these things to another place in a few days. They had been placed in the basement of the study for several years without any problems, but something happened at this critical moment.
How should he explain this to that person?
"Gather all the guards and go down the secret passage. The road leading out of the city, as well as any suspicious individuals or convoys entering or leaving the city gates, must be searched thoroughly by me! Quick!"
As long as he hasn't left the city, he still has a chance. Now he can only hold on to this glimmer of hope.
"Yes! I obey your command!"
After the guards left, Yun Qingshan stood up from the ground, trembling, holding onto the wall, hunched over, and went up the stairs.
…
Yun Li, who was sleeping soundly in the space, had no idea that the capital had been turned upside down by her.
Yun Qingshan dispatched all the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion to search every house in the capital overnight, including inns, restaurants, teahouses, and clinics...
No corner was spared. Some residents were awakened by knocks on the door in the middle of the night. They got up in a daze and opened the door. Then the big guards rushed in and searched the house without saying a word.
Such behavior immediately caused the people to groan and complain. For a while, everyone was discussing privately, wondering what had been lost in the Prime Minister's Mansion that required such a big fuss.
…
The next morning, Yunli woke up slowly and saw that it was already eight o'clock.
The two little babies beside me have already opened their big round eyes.
Dabao was looking at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling with his eyes wide open, while Xiaobao raised his arms and played with his fingers, babbling and drooling.
Yun Li felt her heart melt. How lucky she was to have two such obedient little babies. They didn't cry or make a fuss when they woke up, and they didn't cause her any worries at such a young age...
The baby of a few months old is so worry-free, she can't stay in bed anymore, so she got up quickly, holding one child on each side, and carried the two children to the first floor and put them in their cribs.
Then she washed her hands, prepared milk for the two little ones, and fed each of them one at a time. Her guilt was alleviated... Otherwise, she would always feel that she was an incompetent mother and could not let her children go hungry or full.
After feeding, she wiped the two babies' faces, washed their hands, changed their diapers, washed their butts... and changed their clothes. After an hour, she felt that she was sweating profusely.
She glanced at the time and it was almost ten o'clock. She had been busy all morning and hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet...
No wonder people say raising children is a sweet burden.
She took a sandwich and a glass of milk from the supermarket, ate them quickly, and then changed her clothes. She simply changed her appearance and dressed up as a scholar.
Otherwise, if a woman appeared in this desolate mountain suburb, she would easily be suspected.
…
It was not until the afternoon that she arrived in the capital. It turned out that the exit was next to a village called Hezi Village on the outskirts of the capital.
There used to be a pile of graves there, almost like a mass grave. Because there were so many dead people buried there, people thought it was unlucky and no one wanted to go there. Even people passing by felt it was unlucky.
That's why Yun Qingshan dared to put the exit there without anyone guarding it. Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, he didn't expect that all the money would go into her pocket in the end.
I don't know if Yun Qingshan is so angry that he fainted or died of anger...
She first went to Yayun Pavilion to ask for a room, changed back into women's clothes, and originally planned to return to Qingya Village today.
She decided not to go back and stayed in the east courtyard for the time being.
But she didn't want to show her original appearance, so she changed her face to look like a young woman, but her facial features looked three-dimensional and a bit exotic.
She might use this face in the capital for a while.
After packing everything up, she went to the second floor of Yueyanfang and asked the shopkeeper Qi to go to the east courtyard of the city and bring a letter to Ye Er and Bai Zhi.
I guess Cherry and Baizhi must have woken up today and found that my two children and I were gone. They must have been scared to death.
