Chapter 234 [Nightmare]
Jiang Lili and Xin Che got hold of County Magistrate Huang's small treasury.
Because County Magistrate Huang had entered the small treasury with the birdcage clock, Jiang Lili now opened the switch of the small treasury with ease and slipped in with Xin Che.
What the naked eye sees in the camera footage is still different. When Jiang Lili saw such a large jade bed in front of her, she was visually shocked!
If you knock off a piece at random, one gram can be sold for at least 3,000 yuan.
Jiang Lili's mouth was almost watering.
Xin Che looked at the jade bed and said, "This jade is of the finest quality. It can warm the body. Lying on it will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer."
Jiang Lili was secretly shocked: "In such a remote county, the county governor can actually be so rich."
Xin Che seemed accustomed to this kind of corruption. He said solemnly, "As long as he has the authority and the will, he can find a way to get it."
Xin Che blinked: "Are you going to cast a spell again?"
"You still understand me."
Jiang Lili had a wicked smile on her face, and her dimples seemed to be hiding evil intentions.
"Okay, I'll keep watch."
Xin Che consciously raised his foot and prepared to leave the room, reminding him, "Be careful."
"Hey, wait!" Jiang Lili called out to him, "Just stay here. I'm a little scared."
She was not afraid of the dark, but recently due to plan needs, she was forced to watch several classic horror movies such as "The Grudge" and "The Ring", and downloaded a lot of horror background music. When she was alone, she would easily think of these clips and feel a little scared, so she still had to have an accomplice to accompany her.
Xin Che glanced at Jiang Lili in surprise, then walked to a position not too far behind her and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
With Xin Che guarding behind her, Jiang Lili felt at ease.
She clicked on the personal favorites in the chat group interface and began to search through the things in County Magistrate Huang's vault.
Xin Che saw rows of vases, porcelain plates, calligraphy and paintings, and gold and silver ornaments and utensils on the wooden shelves disappear before his eyes.
Even though he had seen many storms and waves, he was still stunned for a long time when he saw such a magical scene.
He was once again convinced that his prince's wife was a fairy who had descended to earth.
Xin Che watched the entire process of Jiang Lili "using magic" and became more and more silent.
One day the gods will leave the mortal world and return to the fairyland, right?
He is a mortal, how can he compare with gods?
Xin Che has always been high-spirited and unstoppable in his self-confidence. He is superior to others on the battlefield and can stand alone against ten thousand.
But now, facing the little fairy-like Jiang Lili, Xin Che became uncertain for the first time.
Perhaps the gods only saw his merits in guarding the border for many years and saving the people from dire straits, so they took pity on him and came down to earth to save his entire family when he was in exile.
It was he who created a friendship that shouldn't have existed.
The night was as cool as water, and Xin Che's eyes were full of clarity.
"Great harvest, great harvest!"
After Jiang Lili finished cleaning out the small treasury, she turned around and saw Xin Che standing in the shadows with his eyes downcast, looking like he was about to fall apart.
Jiang Lili: ???
What happened? Was it because the contrast between Huang's wealth and his exile was a blow to him?
But putting aside the fact that Xin Che is not the type of person who cares about material things, their new home in the mountains is also very luxurious!
"What's wrong?"
Xin Che looked up when he heard that and smiled: "Nothing, our little fairy is really amazing!"
His smile was somewhat sad, very much like an abandoned stray dog.
Jiang Lili dragged Xin Che, who was still lost in thought, away and said, "Hey, buddy, let's move on to our next destination!"
Xin Che's thoughts were brought back by Jiang Lili's word "accomplice".
"Are we accomplices?"
"Yeah, of course!"
Jiang Lili answered with certainty.
She glanced at the empty vault and said, "We did this together. You are not allowed to deny your debt, regret your mistake, or leave me alone."
"good."
Xin Che's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. He was not the type to worry about gains and losses.
In that case, every day I can spend with her is a day.
"By the way, aren't you good at drawing?"
Jiang Lili pulled out a blueprint from her sleeve and showed it to Xin Che: "Can you draw this on the wall?"
The drawing is an abstract horror-style painting that looks like a pair of eyes from a distance and is very creepy.
Jiang Lili had already taken out a bucket of red paint that Xiaopang had bought in advance from her personal collection.
"I'll try."
Xin Che took the brush and paint from Jiang Lili. Jiang Lili turned on the night light, and Xin Che used the light to paint on the wall of the vault.
This painting focused more on the meaning than the form. In less than two quarters of an hour, the horrific graffiti on the wall was completed.
Amidst the red wall, a pair of eyes is extremely creepy, as if being stared into the abyss.
Jiang Lili wanted to look, but Xin Che covered her eyes and told her not to look back.
"You'll have nightmares tonight."
The two men left the vault quietly.
Not long after walking out of the vault, Xin Che, who had excellent hearing, heard footsteps approaching.
Xin Che subconsciously pulled Jiang Lili into his arms and took her to hide behind the pillars. Their figures were obscured by the pillars and shadows.
"Shh-"
Xin Che placed his index finger in front of his lips.
Jiang Lili nodded in understanding. It was so convenient to have a humanoid radar!
After a while, footsteps were heard.
From the sound, there were two people passing by.
Jiang Lili heard someone passing by say to another person, "Tell the kitchen to make a bowl of brown rice and barley soup this morning. The master hasn't been sleeping well lately and has been having nightmares."
Jiang Lili recognized the voice as that of the steward serving County Magistrate Huang.
The woman being ordered by the housekeeper said, "Brown rice and barley soup? Does that stuff work?"
The housekeeper sighed, "Just think of it as a psychological comfort, so I can get scolded less. Remember to boil it, boil a big pot, so that we, the people below, appear to have done something."
After the housekeeper gave instructions to the maids in the mansion, he left, and the courtyard returned to silence.
Xin Che captured the key information: "Huang County Magistrate's nightmare?"
Jiang Lili touched her nose and replied softly, "Maybe I've done too many bad things."
He Xiuzhu's business was thriving under the leadership of County Magistrate Huang. In fact, he was secretly in contact with the County Magistrate's deputy, the County Chancellor.
County Magistrate Huang only knows how to spend his time drinking and carousing and does nothing. The affairs of the government office are handled by the County Magistrate. The County Magistrate is actually very resentful, but he dares not speak out.
After Jiang Lili came up with a scam to set up for County Magistrate Huang, she asked the shopkeeper Ma to give a medicine to the county magistrate. This medicine was mixed with tea, and people who drank it would have trouble sleeping, start having nightmares, and become distracted.
This medicine was a recipe provided by squad leader Qi Yunyou. The squad leader's father, the old imperial physician Qin, was a capable assistant to the empress dowager, the champion of palace fighting. He had a huge inventory of these sinister recipes.
Jiang Lili copied the prescription and asked the pharmacy owner Fan Qiu to help her prepare the medicine.
