Chapter 21: Traveling through time but without a space? Why not just build one yourself?
"Miss! They are simply going too far!"
When Qiao Er saw her coming, she spoke in a voice as if pouring out beans from a bamboo tube:
"Among the private property the Second Master wants to hand over is the key to a warehouse on North Street, which is filled with treasures he has embezzled over the years!"
"We were supposed to move the stuff out of the warehouse today, but Butler Liu has already transferred everyone! I was wondering why I just saw the Second Master whispering with him. They're just stalling for time! They want to take advantage of this opportunity to move as much stuff as possible!"
Butler Liu drooped his eyelids and said calmly:
"No, you should have evidence to prove your point. You can't convict me based on your hurtful words."
Yun Qingqing understood.
Although the Yin-Yang account books were seized, given Yun Zhiping's style, many valuable items might not have been recorded in the account books. They might have been directly stored in the warehouse. As a result, now that the matter has been exposed, he has seized the opportunity to seize the opportunity and try to transfer more property.
North Street needed people, so all the strong laborers in the mansion were transferred to South Street. It would take at least one or two hours to redeploy them.
Whether going out to hire people or asking people from the Regent's Palace for help, it will take time. By then, even if the warehouse is not completely emptied, it will be almost empty.
She sneered and asked Qiao'er:
"How long has Yun Zhiping been out?
"About an incense stick of time ago, they should be almost at the warehouse by now." Qiao'er said angrily.
Yun Qingqing nodded and smiled calmly:
"It's just a warehouse of stuff. It doesn't require so many people. Let's go and take a look."
“…Ah?” Qiao’er looked confused.
Yun Qingqing had already walked to the stable, led a black and shiny horse, and rode on it.
"Just get to the warehouse before them. Come, I'll take you for a ride."
"Miss...you don't know how to ride a horse." Qiao'er said softly.
A moment later.
The black stallion carried the two girls out of the Yun Mansion gate. Qiao'er hugged her young lady's waist tightly, closing her eyes and screaming:
"Miss, please go slower..."
We drove at lightning speed and soon arrived at the door of the North Street warehouse. We met a group of laborers carrying large and small boxes and were about to leave.
"Who told you to touch the young lady's things? Put them down!"
Seeing this, Qiao'er didn't care about her weak legs, jumped off her horse and blocked the door, shouting angrily.
Yun Zhiping was directing the laborers in the yard. He had never expected Yun Qingqing to arrive so quickly. His eyelids twitched and he quickly came over to apologize with a smile:
"Qingqing, don't get me wrong. Second Uncle saw that you were planning your wedding and might not have time to deal with these trivial matters, so he brought people here to help."
"Oh? Really?"
Yun Qingqing crossed her arms and sneered at the leading laborer:
"Then tell me, where did he ask you to move these things?"
Seeing that the employers were polite to the young lady, the team leader did not suspect anything and replied:
"In reply to your Excellency's question, yes..."
"Of course we have to move it back to the Yun Mansion and into the warehouse!" Yun Zhiping quickly winked at the team leader and spoke hastily.
"The inventory of items in this warehouse has been checked. Feel free to check it when we move it back. You can absolutely trust Second Uncle!"
Yun Qingqing took the few thin pages of ledger he handed over. She knew without flipping through them that he just picked up some random things to deal with her. Did he really think she was stupid?
She smiled slightly and said, "Why should we wait until we get back to check? I'll check it here before moving."
Yun Zhiping's color slightly paused:
"But it took a lot of effort to pack these things. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to open and count them one by one?"
The leader of the labor team also said in a rough voice:
"It will cost extra money to go through all this trouble."
"I'm short of that little money?" Yun Qingqing remained unmoved. "Just count it here."
She was a little surprised. Yun Zhiping was obviously afraid that she would reconcile the accounts, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
As if answering her guess, Yun Bailian's voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Sister, why did you come here? It's so hard for me to find you!"
Yun Qingqing turned around and saw Yun Bailian hurried over with a palace maid.
"The Empress has summoned us to the palace. Let's go quickly and don't keep her waiting anxiously."
...No wonder Yun Zhiping wasn't worried at all, it turns out he was waiting here!
Yun Zhiping was so proud that his wrinkled face was covered with smiles:
"Since the Empress has summoned you, Qingqing, you should go quickly. If you're worried about this place, then you can leave it as is and wait for you to come back and take inventory, right?"
"Don't worry, I guarantee it will be exactly as it is in the account books!"
As for things other than the account books, haha...
"That's not necessary," Yun Qingqing looked at his smug face and smiled.
She directly commanded a group of laborers:
"Put your things down first and get out!"
Yun Bailian's face turned cold:
"What do you mean? Do you really have to waste time here? How long do you want the Queen to wait for you?"
Yun Qingqing smiled and said:
"I need to get dressed so as not to offend the Empress! It won't be long, so why are you trying to stop me?"
"..." Yun Bailian didn't expect that she would also use the Queen Mother to pressure others, and she was choked and speechless.
Yun Qingqing asked the laborers to put down the boxes, drove everyone out, and slammed the warehouse door shut.
Yun Zhiping and Yun Bailian looked at each other and discussed that if she didn't come out after counting to a hundred, they would break down the door and let the palace maids put pressure on her in the name of the queen to get her out.
In short, all the wealth that was accumulated with great effort can be washed away with today's actions. Even the Regent cannot snatch it back openly!
The two men were keeping a close eye on the time, but before they finished counting to fifty, the warehouse door opened a crack.
Yun Qingqing came out from the crack of the door, brushed off her skirt, and directly pulled Qiao'er onto the horse, smiling and saying:
"Since the Queen has summoned me urgently, I'll leave first. See you in the palace later!"
She pulled the reins and the black horse galloped away, leaving Qiao'er with only a series of screams.
"Ahhh Miss, I'm scared..."
Yun Bailian was confused:
"She... is leaving now?"
Yun Zhiping snorted coldly:
"Oh, she's just a little girl. I guess she thinks she's rich enough as a princess and doesn't care about these little things."
Yun Bailian frowned and said:
"Father, don't let your guard down. What if she goes to the Regent for support again?"
Yun Zhiping suddenly realized what was going on and quickly called out to the workers:
"Come on, come on, hurry up and keep moving! Except for the things we counted earlier, pack them all up and move them away. Don't leave anything behind!"
The laborers pushed open the warehouse door, turned around and glared:
"Sir, you're kidding us, aren't you? This place is clearly empty, what are you asking us to move?"
Yun Zhiping and Yun Bailian rushed over and took a look, and were horrified.
Where are the gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were just piled high in the warehouse?
Why is it all empty!
