Chapter 128 Ye Chutang and Song Jingning meet
When Kong Qingyuan learned that only rubble was left in the secret room, he staggered and almost fell down.
He shouted hurriedly: "Go to the warehouse!"
After yelling, he changed his tone, "Everyone stay and notify the other guards to go to the warehouse."
There are some important letters and rare books in the study, and they cannot be stolen again.
After the incident in the study, the entire Confucius Mansion became lively.
Ye Chutang immediately went to the study to watch what was happening.
Qi Yanzhou's men also followed.
Upon learning that the study had been robbed, he stopped staring at Ye Chutang and immediately went to the warehouse.
After Ye Chutang made sure that the person staring at her had left, she began to act.
Kong Qingyuan thought that as long as she was guarding the study, she wouldn't be able to empty it?
Innocent!
She found a homemade Molotov cocktail from the space, lit the cloth strip on the mouth of the bottle, and smashed it against the window.
With a "bang", the glass bottle shattered, and the gasoline inside spilled onto the windows and the ground, and was ignited by the burning cloth.
"There's an assassin! Protect the master!"
"The fire is coming out! Put it out!"
Ye Chutang changed his position every time he threw a Molotov cocktail.
Before long, the study was completely set on fire.
The fire spread from the outside to the inside.
Kong Qingyuan was forced to come out of the study, with a hint of relief under his dark face.
It’s better to be burned than to be stolen!
But the next moment, he saw a black figure appear next to the bookshelf.
The flames distorted the air and blurred the outlines of the black shadows.
But he could see that wherever the black shadow passed, the bookshelf and the books on it disappeared.
"The 'ghost thief' is in the study, go catch him!"
The guards looked at the burning study and were deterred from approaching.
"Master, the fire is too big. The beams of the house may collapse at any time. We can't go in and catch anyone."
Besides, the "ghost thief" is not a human being at all, so why let them catch him like this?
Entering the study is seeking death!
Kong Qingyuan's headache was about to explode. "Let the butler report to the police, and the others follow me to the warehouse."
He just couldn't believe that with so many people watching the things in the warehouse, how could they be stolen!
Seeing that the Kong family's guards had all gone to the warehouse, Ye Chutang began to search other courtyards.
She used a similar operation as in the study.
They poured gasoline, set the house on fire, forced the people in the yard out, and evacuated the house.
She did not act one courtyard at a time, but selected them randomly so that the people in the Confucius Mansion could not find any pattern.
Soon, the entire Confucius Mansion was engulfed in flames, leaving only the front yard and the storeroom unburned.
Kong Qingyuan's ferocious facial features looked like a demon in the light of the fire.
"Keep a close eye on the warehouse. If you can catch the 'ghost thief', you will be rewarded with a million gold coins!"
Although this is unlikely, what if?
To put it another way, even if we can't catch the "ghost thief", it would be good to scare him away.
The Kong family has been established in the capital for more than a hundred years. Although there have been ups and downs, they have accumulated a lot of wealth.
When Ye Chutang saw that the Kong family cared so much about the warehouse, he knew that there were large goods inside.
If I don't empty it out, I will be unworthy of the reputation of being a "ghost thief".
“Another day of high consumption!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire warehouse was suddenly lifted up and shook violently.
As the soil fell, only half of the secret room in the warehouse area became clearly visible.
The guards in the warehouse were shaken so much that they could hardly stand still.
The guards around the warehouse were stunned and their eyes were filled with horror.
Suddenly, the warehouse and the secret room fell down suddenly.
"ah!"
Someone was frightened and screamed, waking up everyone who was stunned.
Then everyone saw a hole on the ground that was the size of a warehouse and was bottomless.
"The 'ghost thief' is definitely not a human, it's so scary!"
Kong Qingyuan was also frightened and took a step back unconsciously.
The "Ghost Thief" has the power to destroy the world. The Kong family may not be able to keep the wealth they have accumulated for a hundred years!
A guard asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
Kong Qingyuan had no idea what to do.
He looked at the dark hole and didn't know how to fill it.
At this time, Ye Chutang had already sneaked into the warehouse.
The storeroom was deep down and completely dark.
The guards were so frightened that many of them climbed onto the roof and called for help.
The terrified sound echoed in the small space, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Wearing night vision goggles, Ye Chutang shuttled among the frightened guards and easily collected money.
Suddenly, someone discovered that the box in front of them was gone.
"Ghost...ghost...the thief is coming!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards became confused.
But they didn't dare to confront the "ghost thief" head-on and all shrank into the corner.
Soon, the warehouse was empty.
Ye Chutang found it quite funny and almost laughed out loud.
She quickly looted the storeroom and secret room, then used her powers to raise the storeroom back to its original position.
When the officials arrived, they looked at the warehouse and found nothing unusual, and they refused to believe that such a big house could be opened.
***
After Ye Chutang left the Kong family, he found a secluded corner and entered the space.
After she simply sorted out the things she had looted from the Confucius Mansion, she found a wooden box from the items in Prince An's Mansion.
The box contained the title deeds, land deeds, house deeds and shop deeds of all the properties in Prince An's mansion.
Although she couldn't exchange this stack of paper for money, she could empty out these shops!
It was not yet curfew, so Ye Chutang went to the teahouse to listen to an opera.
They are all dramas about resentful women in the boudoir and unfaithful men.
She was bored and focused on eating her snacks.
Seeing that the curfew was about to arrive, Ye Chutang got up and left the teahouse.
As soon as she went out, she met a group of young men coming out of the restaurant next door.
"Jingning, don't forget to go hunting at Meishan tomorrow."
"I haven't seen you for five years. Your archery skills must have improved a lot."
"If we hunt for something good, does that mean everyone gets a share?"
Song Jingning's cheerful and cheerful voice sounded, "Don't worry, everyone will get a share."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ye Chutang at the door of the teahouse.
His eyes shook violently.
Ye Chutang was wearing a dark gauze skirt and a black silk scarf on her face, revealing a pair of bright eyes filled with lights.
The light from the teahouse shone on her, casting a layer of golden light on her outer gauze dress.
She looked at Song Jingning who was surrounded by young men, and remembered what Song Zhiyan said.
He said, “It’s really similar.”
At that time, she was still wondering how similar her eyebrows and eyes were to Song Jingning, and Song Zhiyan must have exaggerated.
But after seeing it with her own eyes, she realized that they really looked alike.
Ye Chutang was the first to come back to his senses and nodded slightly to Song Jingning.
"I didn't expect that I would have the honor of meeting Master Haoyue when I went out for tea. My daughter Ye Chutang is very happy to meet you."
In fact, she and Song Jingning were strangers, so there was no need to say hello.
But she had a strong feeling that she wanted to get to know Song Jingning.
It seems like if I don’t know you, I will lose something.
Song Jingning immediately came back to his senses and bowed to Ye Chutang like a gentleman.
"My dear Miss Ye, I apologize for my impoliteness just now."
Staring at a woman is really disrespectful.
But I really can’t blame him. He was stunned when he suddenly saw a pair of eyes and eyebrows like his own.
Ye Chutang looked at the handsome and cheerful Song Jingning, and a very vulgar saying came to his mind.
The young master is unparalleled in the world.
She jokingly said, "Master Haoyue was impolite, so should he apologize?"
The unconventional words made Song Jingning smile.
"Of course. I wonder how Miss Ye wants me to apologize?"
"Tomorrow we'll go hunting in Meishan, take me with you."
"If Miss Ye can ride a horse, we'll meet at the city gate at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow."
