When darkness and silence returned to the courtyard.
Li Lanzhen remained seated in the space, staring at the dark courtyard.
She was afraid that if there were hidden sentries outside the courtyard, going out would be like walking into a trap.
If I could enter that space and teleport, that would be great!
Sigh, just think about it. How can everything go as you wish? As a transmigrator, having a system and a space is already a huge blessing!
One should be content, and yes, I, Li Lanzhen, am very content.
She muttered whatever came to mind in her online space.
There was still no movement in the courtyard, and it was pitch black outside the courtyard wall.
Li Lanzhen felt that they must have all been withdrawn, leaving no hidden sentries behind, right?
She was about to leave.
Turning to look at Xue Bao, he thought for a moment and decided to let the kid sleep in the space. It would be more convenient for him to go out alone. If there was any danger, he could just come into the space and hide.
The man in black was dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit, and his face was covered with a black cloth.
Li Lanzhen thought for a moment and decided to disguise herself as well, so that at least people wouldn't be able to tell whether the assassin was male or female.
So she turned around and went to the storage room.
After rummaging around, I found a black tracksuit and a pair of black sneakers. I also found a pair of blue cotton socks to wear. What should I do about my head?
She let her hair down, tied it into a bun on top of her head, and wrapped her head with a piece of black cotton cloth, pressing her forehead low to cover her eyebrows.
The cotton cloth was then wrapped around her face, passing over her nose, and tied behind her head, leaving only her eyes visible.
Two stun guns were prepared and placed, along with a large knife.
This time she's not going to use firecrackers or fireworks. If you piss her off, she'll just burn down that damned Imperial Uncle's mansion!
Having prepared all this, Li Lanzhen emerged from the space. The door to the main room had been kicked down by the soldiers and was lying on the ground. She walked silently to the courtyard wall like a cat.
He pressed his ear against the courtyard wall to listen to what was happening outside, then picked up a stone and threw it over the wall.
"Ding-dong"
The stone hit the outside of the courtyard wall, but there was no sound for a long time.
Li Lanzhen confirmed this time that there were no hidden sentries outside the courtyard wall, and that it was safe.
She then braced herself against the courtyard wall and leaped over it.
After leaving the alley, Li Lanzhen ran quickly along the shops on both sides of the street toward the residence of the Imperial Uncle, which was also the government office.
The last time she came to Youzhou with Gou Dan and Han Yinan, they passed by the government office, so she knew the way.
Actually, the streets weren't very peaceful either. Every now and then, a group of people carrying torches and knives would run towards the government office, making a ruckus and pushing each other.
Li Lanzhen thought, "This must be the doctor or a suspicious person he arrested."
How many people have been wronged and forced to confess under torture this time?
It seems I'll have to set fire to the government office today and let all these people escape in the chaos.
While thinking, he kept dodging the soldiers running past.
Li Lanzhen arrived at the back gate of the government office.
This is the place Gou Dan brought her to last time. He said it would be more convenient to go in through the back door. The back door is usually where people from wealthy families deliver vegetables and supplies, or where maids and servants from the mansion go out to run errands or buy things.
You absolutely must not enter through the front door.
Li Lanzhen arrived at the back gate, where the government office was also brightly lit.
Soldiers and officers stood both inside and outside, holding torches and broadswords.
Looking out from the courtyard wall, Li Lanzhen saw that the entire government office was brightly lit, probably because lanterns were hung up and torches were being used by the yamen runners.
Li Lanzhen was hiding in the shadows, thinking about how she could get in without being discovered.
Then they heard running and shouting coming from the government office.
"Grab him! Don't run, assassin!! Grab him!"
The shouts grew louder as they approached, eventually reaching the back door.
The guards at the back gate, upon seeing a burly man approaching, brandished their swords and clashed with the charging man, who was also wielding a large knife.
Li Lanzhen took a closer look and realized that this person actually didn't know martial arts; he was just fighting randomly, but he was quite strong.
He was probably wronged by them and arrested haphazardly. Perhaps he was unwilling to accept being wronged, so he broke out. He had been attacked with swords and was covered in blood.
At this moment, the big man was waving his knife around, hacking wildly while shouting and cursing.
"You bunch of corrupt officials, not only do you oppress the people, but you also arbitrarily arrest people and frame us. Since you say I'm an assassin, I'll kill you all today!"
But how could he possibly defeat so many people by himself? The group surrounded the big man and slowly moved out through the back door.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Lanzhen quickly slipped into the government office through the back door.
She didn't rush into the courtyard of the government office. Instead, she leaned against the back wall of the government office and slowly walked forward. The back courtyard of the government office consisted of warehouses and other similar buildings, as well as small courtyards where no one lived.
Normally, the storeroom should be guarded by yamen runners, but at this moment, all the men have been transferred to the front to catch the assassins, so there is no one guarding it.
This gave Li Lanzhen an opening, and she quickly rushed to the door of this row of warehouses.
Although the warehouse was secured with three locks, and the locks were very large, none of this posed a challenge for Li Lanzhen.
She thought to herself, "This damned imperial brother-in-law is no good. I'll just put everything in the warehouse into my spatial storage today."
He took out a thin iron wire and opened all three large brass locks in no time.
However, when I pushed the door open, it made a creaking sound.
Li Lanzhen was startled and quickly held the door open, refusing to push it open further.
She was afraid that the noise from the door would alert the people in front.
After listening for a while, they heard painful wails and the shouts and curses of thugs coming from in front of the government office.
No one paid attention to what was happening in the warehouses in the backyard.
Seeing that the door was open enough for her to pass through, Li Lianzhen did not push open the warehouse door again.
When she went inside, the warehouse was pitch black. She reached out and touched something; it must be grain.
She stopped checking, said "Put it away," and left. She didn't dare close the door, afraid of making any more noise.
We continued walking along the wall to the entrance of the large warehouse in the middle.
There was only one brass lock on the door of this warehouse.
Li Lanzhen quickly opened the door. This time, she dared not open it too forcefully, afraid of making a louder noise.
She slowly opened the door, but to her surprise, the warehouse door made no sound.
Li Lanzhen entered the storeroom, took out her small flashlight, and quickly shone it around. The storeroom was filled with weapons and a lot of bedding, all of which looked to be of uniform size.
Could it be that the government office is preparing bedding and cotton-padded clothes for the yamen runners or soldiers to get through the winter?
Never mind, they all belong to me, Li Lanzhen, now. With a wave of her hand, she put them all into her spatial storage and turned to leave.
Upon arriving at the third warehouse, which also had three locks, the problem was that the first lock was located above the door, out of Li Lanzhen's reach.
He cursed inwardly, "What kind of nonsense is this? Who puts a lock on the top of their door? Isn't this blatantly telling thieves that the things in this storeroom are valuable and important? Look how difficult this lock is, you can't open it!"
After Li Lanzhen unlocked the two locks below, she took out a chair from her spatial storage, quickly stood on it, reached out and unlocked the lock, put the chair away, pushed the door open and went in. She shone her small flashlight, and it flashed with golden light!
Just as expected, this warehouse is full of treasures.
I wonder how many families this imposter, the emperor's brother-in-law, plundered and ruined to amass his treasure.
Before she could take a closer look, Li Lanzhen waved her hand and put them all into her spatial storage.
Even after going out, the door is still wide open.
She figured that with the doors of all three storerooms open and completely dark, the night watchmen would eventually find them. Then, with everyone gathered there, she could continue doing whatever she wanted in the courtyard in front of the government office, putting anything that caught her eye into her spatial storage!
