Everyone nodded in agreement and answered firmly, "Yes!"
Leng Yue looked up at the sky and said, "Let's hurry up, it will be daybreak soon, this is a rare opportunity."
After a brief discussion, everyone split into two groups. Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan, along with a group of secret guards, went to the prefect's mansion.
General Tang, Qi Yize, Liu Jingtai and Sun Jingfeng went to the home of the wealthy and treacherous businessman Meng.
It is better to disperse them to avoid uneven distribution and the creation of discord.
Leng Yue put the horse back into the space. Everyone here except her knew how to perform Qinggong, so she disappeared after a few jumps.
Leng Yue was really envious, she also wanted to fly freely.
Ideals are full, but reality is skinny. She was carried away by Huo Jingxuan.
When she and Huo Jingxuan arrived, the secret guards had already knocked out all the guards of the prefect's mansion. An San had opened the door of the warehouse and was standing at the door waiting for them.
Leng Yue felt like she had no sense of participation at all, just like going to a supermarket to shop in modern times, just taking things.
While she was putting things into the space, Huo Jingxuan knocked on the wall and finally felt a bulge in an inconspicuous corner.
Huo Jingxuan waited for Leng Yue to collect the things outside, then pulled her aside and pressed the switch.
As soon as the door opened, there was indeed a mechanism inside, and a rain of arrows shot in from all directions.
It was the first time that Leng Yue had seen an ancient mechanism. She was curious and asked Huo Jingxuan, "How do you know there is a mechanism here?"
Huo Jingxuan pointed to the shelves outside and said, "The items outside are of average quality and not very valuable, but he used such a large and complicated lock outside, so there must be valuable things here that we haven't found."
Leng Yue praised Huo Jingxuan, "Your observation is very careful, but I think we should go to the study and the governor's bedroom to take a look. That's where the real secrets are hidden."
Huo Jingxuan didn't expect his wife to be so smart. He looked at Leng Yue with admiration. Just then the rain of arrows stopped, and he took Leng Yue's hand and walked into the inner room.
It was indeed much better than those displayed outside. Even the ginseng was two hundred years old. There were many other precious medicinal herbs, various antiques and precious ornaments, as well as some cloth and furs that Leng Yue couldn't name.
Leng Yue probably took a quick look at these and took them all. Until now, she had not seen a single gold ingot, let alone a copper coin. This was too strange.
She called out to Huo Jingxuan who was knocking around, "Husband, why are all these dead things?
No money at all?"
This is also what Huo Jingxuan felt was strange, otherwise he wouldn't be knocking around.
The two looked at each other and then simultaneously turned their gazes to the ground beneath their feet.
I've knocked everywhere, and now the only place I'm missing is this one.
Huo Jingxuan strolled around, stomped his feet when he felt something was wrong, and he actually found that the middle of the ground was empty.
However, he still couldn't find where the entrance was.
Leng Yue began to recall the TV dramas she had watched, and suddenly she set her eyes on the candlesticks embedded in the wall.
She walked over and bent it, and it really moved. Then she turned to the right, and suddenly the display shelf started moving.
The first thing Huo Jingxuan did when he heard the noise was to protect Leng Yue behind him, and An San and An Yi stood in front of Huo Jingxuan.
Leng Yue directly took everyone into the space, and waited until there was completely no movement outside and he was sure it was safe before coming out.
This is a great plug-in that works great and you won’t be afraid of any traps.
I saw a row of bookshelves move away, revealing a lotus pattern. An San stared at the pattern for a long time, and became more and more excited the more he looked at it.
Pointing at the pattern, he said, "Master, Madam, that is the masterpiece of Master Tianji. There must be something valuable there."
Leng Yue was also excited when she heard this, she didn't care about Master Tianji, since they had gone to so much trouble to ask the master to make the mechanism, wasn't it time to prepare the money?
She stretched her neck and rolled her big eyes around, which made Huo Jingxuan laugh.
He ordered An San, "Open it quickly, your wife can't wait any longer.
Be careful, there may be traps inside."
Leng Yue felt embarrassed because her thoughts were seen through. She glared at Huo Jingxuan, then stared at An San's operations and ignored Huo Jingxuan.
Sure enough, when An San was about to get close to the lotus pattern, his feet suddenly felt empty and he fell down instantly.
Huo Jingxuan and An Yi swung out the whips at their waists at the same time. An San quickly grabbed them, used his feet to gain momentum, and flew up the wall.
When I came up and looked into the trap, I was really scared, because there were rows of steel nails at the bottom of the trap, and they were half a meter long. If someone fell into them, they would be strung together like a blood gourd.
An San patted his chest to calm himself down, "It was too dangerous, my life was almost over!"
Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan were also scared when they saw the rows of steel nails. "This governor's mind is too vicious. He didn't even think of leaving anyone alive."
An San still didn't believe it, "I want to see what secrets are hidden down there that made him go to such great lengths."
Leng Yue, Huo Jingxuan and An Yi's curiosity was also aroused.
After a few people studied it, Leng Yue gave everyone a gas mask. It suddenly appeared in the space, so it joined in the fun.
Let Huo Jingxuan stand in the corner and use a hidden weapon to turn on the lotus switch.
Sure enough, as the cave entrance opened, a burst of white smoke came out. "It's really poisonous?" An San said, pointing at the white smoke.
After the white smoke dissipated, the group walked down the stairs and found six boxes in the dark room, which were filled with silver.
After Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan checked, they found that it was just ordinary silver and there was nothing wrong with it.
Without saying a word, she quickly put it into the space. After so much effort, she finally got some real gold and silver. She couldn't let it run away again.
After she collected all the money in no time, she said to Huo Jingxuan, "Keep looking. There must be more. With such a small amount of money, there's no need to set up so many traps."
Huo Jingxuan had the same idea, but after searching for a long time, he only found three secret rooms, but they were all empty, with nothing inside.
Leng Yue was so angry that he had no other choice. He ordered everyone to go out, made a few miniature bombs, and started a massive bombing.
A secret passage was revealed. An Yi walked along it and found many forks in the road. Fortunately, he had a strong sense of direction, otherwise he would have been lost.
Finally, after half an hour, they found what the prefect really wanted to hide.
An Yi took a look and felt something was wrong. He made some marks along the way and went out directly to find Huo Jingxuan.
While taking advantage of this time, Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan had already looted the prefectural government's mansion.
Originally, I just wanted to make some money, but I didn't expect to do something so drastic. It was because the prefect was so troublesome that he made Leng Yue angry!
Finally, all the valuable and usable items in each room were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were prepared to be burned.
Since An Er tasted the sweetness, he went straight to the stable this time. He waited for his wife to collect the good horses, and as for the inferior horses, he killed them directly because he wanted to eat horse meat.
In the end, even the prefect who was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms was not spared and was abducted by Leng Yue.
Like dragging a dead dog, he had An Er carried behind him with his own smelly socks stuffed in his mouth.
As soon as Huo Jingxuan saw Leng Yue's actions, he knew that it was this prefect who had made her angry. However, he did not sympathize with this prefect Zhang either. It was his own fault.
Just now, An Wu and the butler found some secret account books in the study. He took a quick look and already knew what was going on.
This prefect was so bold that he actually colluded with the eldest prince to embezzle public funds, impose taxes, buy and sell officials, and collect salaries without working.
No matter which of the above is true, Governor Zhang deserves to be put to death.
