Chapter 38 A Rich Harvest



The central hall, flower hall and dining room outside the house were all swept clean.

Looking at the bare main house, Gu Xinran felt a sense of accomplishment.

Let's go all the way. After cleaning up the warehouse and going to the study, we will go through the entire backyard according to this standard process.

The warehouse was on the west side of the main courtyard, and Gu Xinran found it quickly. The strange thing was that there was no one guarding it!

I took out the key and opened the door of the warehouse. There were a lot of things inside. Grain, oil, rice and flour were in the outer warehouse. There were tens of thousands of kilograms of refined rice and flour alone.

In the inner storeroom, there were three boxes of gold, ten boxes of silver, three boxes of pearls, agates, beads, hairpins and jewelry, cloth, antique calligraphy and paintings, and many precious medicinal materials, including five hundred-year-old ginsengs.

There is another room next to the inner storehouse, which is filled with new huanghuali wood furniture. These are good things. I heard that wealthy families will prepare dowries for their daughters very early.

After all, a carved step-out bed would take thousands of man-hours to make, and it would definitely not be possible to prepare it temporarily.

Gu Xinran took a quick glance and was shocked by their exquisiteness.

Take it away!

After the warehouse was emptied, Gu Xinran tensed up, kept his eyes and ears open, and cautiously moved towards the study in the front yard.

The study is a strategic location. Normally, there would be someone guarding it, and we couldn't let them down again.

Unexpected!

There were no guards, and they arrived at the study smoothly. Is this Magistrate Sun a good official? He only hired two guards for such a large backyard!

Now that she was here, she could just do it! It wasn't her nature to get hung up on things.

There are a lot of good things inside, and the secret room is cleverly designed. After the mechanism is opened, there is a small iron door that is as solid as a rock. Don't even think about opening it without a key.

Haha, my luck is so good that the key around Magistrate Sun’s neck comes in handy.

Gu Xinran carefully opened the iron gate and stood at the door to observe carefully. The space inside was not big and might be the small treasury of Magistrate Sun.

There were more than twenty wooden boxes stacked against the wall, taking up most of the space, and two exquisite brocade boxes placed on the only table.

Gu Xin muttered to herself, "Could this secret room have some kind of trap?" It's always better to be cautious. She pulled out a long piece of firewood from the space. Haha, I had it from the small kitchen. She poked around in the secret room, but nothing happened.

She tiptoed in, came to the table, and slowly opened a brocade box. Wow~wow~wow~

A whole box of silver notes, all with a face value of one thousand taels, is worth about two hundred thousand taels!

Overjoyed, beaming, and overjoyed—these idioms weren't enough to describe Gu Xinran's excitement at the moment. From now on, she could really let herself go! !

Of course, the prerequisite is to find a stable place first.

Gu Xinran was certain in her heart that Magistrate Sun was a corrupt official, a big corrupt official!

Raiding his house is to eliminate harm to the people!

In order to take the silver with a clear conscience, Gu Xinran decided to help the poor people as much as possible while fleeing from the famine.

The other box contains a box of letters and account books, which I have put there but don't have the heart to read for the time being.

Gu Xinran walked towards the pile of wooden boxes, opened them and was blinded!

There were all irregular lumps of gold nuggets, more than twenty boxes in total. She had never seen the world, so she couldn't calculate how much they were worth in silver.

The savings of Magistrate Sun's family refreshed Gu Xinran's cognition again and again. How much of the people's blood and sweat must have been exploited!

Collect! Don’t even let go of the table.

After cleaning the study, I went through the same process in the front yard.

Next, except for the servants living in the backyard, not a single piece of firewood was left for them in the entire backyard.

Sun Xudong's East Courtyard, Sun Ziyan's West Courtyard, and the side courtyards of the concubines and illegitimate children were all searched and looted.

Apart from the main courtyard, the most luxurious place is Sun Ziyan’s west courtyard. Those who are favored are different.

But she could not escape Gu Xinran's clutches. Miss Sun, who was sleeping quietly, was as beautiful as a flower, but when she thought of her arrogant and domineering look, alas, her beauty was reduced to only one point.

Fortunately, Duan Yunchi didn't like her, otherwise she would be a little worried that he would help Miss Sun to avenge the confiscation of property and the murder of his brother.

I really want to draw a big turtle on her face to get back at her for provoking me that day. But forget it, considering that there are so many jewels, silver, and nice furniture and clothes in her room, I'll forgive her this time.

It took more than an hour, and only the owner in pajamas and an empty house were left in Magistrate Sun's house, not counting the servants.

Let them have no outer clothes to wear tomorrow, and see how they can still be so arrogant.

Before leaving, I saw the horses in the backyard and wanted to take a few of them, but unfortunately there was no space for living things.

At the end of the world, the space will be as large as 15,000 square meters, and living things can enter it.

Gu Xinran silently made a wish, "Space, just be obedient and grow up on your own!" Golden thighs are hard to come by.

Gu Xinran was tired but happy. She suppressed her excitement and returned safely to her room in the inn.

He locked the door and quickly slipped into the space.

While checking today's harvest, they sang: We ordinary people are so happy tonight!

Hey! The space has expanded by over a hundred square meters!

Is the space so good that it can fulfill her wish?

This is impossible. It should be the six bottles of spirit gathering water that were delivered to Xiao Mingzhan.

I don’t know where the golden thigh is. He is rich, beautiful, and can expand his space. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Today I collected a lot of things and didn’t have enough space, so I expanded it. That’s so thoughtful!

The pile of furniture and clothes in the medicinal herb field was more than ten meters high. Fortunately, there was no height limit, otherwise the space would have been too small to accommodate them.

Gu Xinran had an idea and sorted and piled up all the clothes, quilts, ornaments, tools, furniture, etc.

The bags of grain around the spiritual spring were stacked higher and higher.

Gold, silver and jewelry were also stacked together.

Fortunately, there are more than ten square meters here, so there is a place to appreciate the treasures.

Boxes of gold, silver bills, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings were all opened and lined up for them to admire slowly. Gu Xinran was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

If you want to know what makes money quickly, it would be robbing corrupt officials, finding ways to help refugees, being a knight-errant, and robbing the rich to help the poor.

Gu Xinran was really tired tonight. She ate a big bowl of shredded pork noodles and two chicken legs to fill her stomach.

After a quick wash and makeup removal, she lay on the bed in the space, admiring the beautiful jewelry, trying this and touching that, and fell asleep unknowingly, counting money in her dreams.

The rude knocks on the door interrupted Gu Xinran's sweet dream.

He put on his clothes, moved out of the space, ruffled the quilt on the bed, and placed the luggage prepared by Gu's mother next to the bed.

Gu Xinran opened the door yawning, feeling very irritable after waking up.

"Why are you rushing me? Disturbing someone's sweet dreams is murder! Little myna, if you don't have something urgent to do, I'll beat you to death..."

Standing at the door were two sword-wielding constables. Gu Xinran quickly changed his tone, nodding and bowing, "Greetings, sir! How can I help you?"

The bailiff said angrily: "Come out and search!"

One person was guarding Gu Xinran while the other was searching. The guest room was so small that it was easy to see at a glance.

Gu Xinran slipped in a few coins and tried to find out what was going on. "Sir, what's the big deal? Why are you so worried about running this errand so early in the morning?"

The constable took the silver and his expression softened. "Don't mention it. Young Master Sun was murdered, and Prefect Sun was robbed. The city is under lockdown for a search. Don't go out unless necessary."

After receiving the confirmed news of Sun Xudong's death, Gu Xinran was in a good mood. I wonder what the scene was like?
