It can be said that this is a perfect misunderstanding.
Song Wan didn't bother with this. She untied the bag on her back, tied it into a knot again, and hung it on the back of the horse in the cart she was driving.
This was the first victory of the night, and it was a fruitful harvest, so she was very satisfied.
Song Qi was curious, "Miss, no, Master, what's in this box?"
Song Wan patted the horse's back and said, "It's the banknotes. I've loaned out so many young prostitutes, so of course I have to ask their boss for some hard work money."
Song Qi was stunned... This is also possible.
"It's almost time. We should go to that guy's house." Song Wan looked up at the sky. It was pitch black and she couldn't tell what time it was.
"Master, are we going like this?" Song Qi saw her get in the car directly and couldn't help but remind her, "Wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"
After all, they have no legitimate reason.
Song Wan pulled the reins, looked up at him, frowned and said, "Song Qi, why don't you not go and stay to take care of the kids." He was so long-winded that he was almost catching up with Song Yi.
The child she was talking about was the disobedient boy that Gu Yan had tied up in a hurry.
When Song Qi heard that he was going to stay, he quickly shook his head, "Master, I don't want to stay."
Song Wan became increasingly irritable. "Then shut up and lead the way."
Song Qi: "Oh."
After the incident, the group drove towards the residence of Xinzhou prefect Yao Xu according to the original plan.
Although Yao Xu had left the mansion, the defense inside would not be relaxed too much, so Jiang Zhen, Zhang Sheng and others were still a little worried.
They are so blatant that it is easy to leave traces.
"General, are we sure we want to follow Miss Song like this?" Jiang Zhen quietly drove to Gu Yanji's side and asked in a low voice.
Others may not know, but Gu Yanji knew how powerful her ability was. Thinking back to what happened on the roof of the attic just now, that person was clearly standing less than three meters away from them, but he could not see anything and even thought they were running away in the opposite direction.
But this kind of thing is hard to explain, and even harder to let more people know about it, so Gu Yan said anxiously, "Ah Wan has her reasons for doing what she does. You just need to remember that she won't put anyone in danger."
Jiang Zhen thought of the strategy he had just used to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and thought to himself, maybe Miss Song had a backup plan.
Gu Yan hurriedly fooled him and turned to look at Zhang Sheng, her words becoming more serious. "When we enter the mansion later, you must do your best to protect him."
Gu Yan was pointing at Qi Fu, the man he had poked at in the blood on the cart. He did not specify his identity, but he believed that Zhang Sheng, who had been with the late emperor for more than ten years, would be able to recognize him.
Everything was said without words. Zhang Sheng nodded solemnly, "I understand."
In addition to being unable to move, Qi Wu was also silenced and could only watch.
Gu Yan knew that he still had some resentment in his heart, and he had no intention of changing his inner thoughts. He just didn't want A Yu to lose his last relative.
Compared to the few people who didn't know the truth, Song Wan's attitude could be said to be extremely leisurely. She looked relaxed along the way. Those who didn't know her might have thought she was really just here to visit the Lantern Festival.
Yao Xu's mansion was located on the richest street in Xinzhou City. It had a good location, quiet in the midst of a bustling city, with a wide road, which was very suitable for transporting silver.
Song Wan led everyone out of the main gate. Ten cars were parked in front of the mansion. The servant at the door seemed to be blind and didn't even look at them.
Except for Gu Yanji, everyone present looked stunned, especially Song Qi, whose mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit in it.
Jiang Zhen was a little stunned and murmured, "So the gatekeeper is one of ours?"
Zhang Sheng calmly analyzed, "Even if the servant is one of ours, it's not so easy to break into Yao Xu's study."
After hypnotizing the servant with her mental power, Song Wan was about to push the door open when she thought of a fatal problem. The roads in this kind of mansion were full of twists and turns, and she didn't know where they were.
So she withdrew her hand, turned around and asked, "Who among you knows the way? Come forward and lead the way."
In fact, she could use her mental power to sense the direction of the study, but she was born with a poor sense of direction, which was the case in her previous life.
If she was alone, she would have flown over there long ago, but now she couldn't take everyone with her.
The problem is that she can't carry it, it's too heavy.
"I'll go." Gu Yan glanced at the others anxiously, then stepped forward with a helpless smile, "Where do you want to go first?"
"Of course it's the study!" Song Wan said happily, "That's where the most money is!"
"Okay, let's go to the study first." Gu Yan said hurriedly, calling Gu Wen and Gu Wu, "You two drive the two carts first and follow us in."
Gu Wen: "...Master, are we just going in like this?"
Gu Yan anxiously said, "Yes, just go in like this."
Song Wan pulled Gu Yan and hurried towards the mansion. Every time they arrived at a place, she would cast a mental barrier.
At the same time, her mental strength was constantly being consumed, so she had to keep pulling Gu Yanxi.
Even though replenishing mental power is not as efficient as in the past, it is still better than nothing, and it is better than using it without replenishing it.
The food bought on the street earlier also came in handy at this moment. Not only Song Wan herself, but Gu Yanji also had two large purses hanging around her waist, which were filled with sweet pickled cherry cakes.
Every time Song Wan took two steps, he would be fed a piece of food.
After being together for such a long time, Gu Yanji vaguely understood that besides herself, eating could also help her replenish that ability, but the effect was not as good as his.
Gu Yanji would sometimes wonder, if he didn't have the ability she needed, then in her eyes, would he be no different from Song Qi and Gu Wu?
Maybe he was not as good as them. He was so badly injured at that time that he was just a burden to her.
Whenever she thought of this, Gu Yanji felt extremely grateful that God had given her the abilities she needed, and she couldn't help but increase the strength in her hands.
Song Wan was eating while walking, when suddenly, she felt Gu Yanji seemed to be pinching her hand.
"You pinched me?" She slowed down.
Gu Yan, having lost her strength, quickly let go, looking apologetic. "It's my fault. Does it hurt?"
Song Wan shook her head. "How strong are you? It's like a cat scratching."
Gu Yan was anxious: "..." She almost forgot her natural supernatural powers.
However, Song Wan discovered that the more force he applied, the faster she absorbed the spiritual power. So she said, "If you use a little more force, it seems that you can absorb it faster."
Gu Yan was anxious...why was this special ability of hers so unusual?
Gu Wen and Gu Wu, who were driving behind, went from being cautious at the beginning to being able to distract themselves and eavesdrop on their masters' conversation.
Just now they heard something like "use a little more strength" and "like a cat scratching", and they also saw their master feeding cakes to Miss Song.
At that moment, Gu Wen and Gu Wu had an illusion that they were not here to empty the prefect's residence, but to have fun.
By the way, I also ate a mouthful of dog food from my master and Miss Song.
The entire mansion seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. No matter how loud the sound of horse hooves was, no one noticed.
Jiang Zhen suspected that Yao Xu had not paid his subordinates their monthly wages recently, otherwise how could the guards at a prefect's residence become so lax.
Everyone came to the outer study, and almost as soon as they entered the area, the secret guards hidden on the roof noticed them.
Shocked, they immediately drew their swords, but no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than Song Wan.
In just a moment, dozens of secret guards felt their brains go blank, and then their bodies rolled down from the roof uncontrollably.
They were forced to close their eyes before they could even see what the person looked like.
Song Wan withdrew his spiritual power and said to Gu Wen and Gu Wu, who were also stunned behind him, "You two, tie them up and remember to gag them with cloth."
It is still unknown how long the move will take. Song Wan’s mental power can only control them for an hour at most.
Gu Wen and Gu Wu were already numb inside. They quickly pulled out a few thick ropes and tied up the person on the ground.
"Let's go in." Song Wanxu shouted. She only had about 40% of her mental strength left. She was used to being well-off on a daily basis, so she felt a little insecure at the moment.
Gu Yan quickly noticed the change in her tone, but said nothing. He just considerately increased the strength of his grip on her hand.
This was the first time he felt his own uselessness.
Jiang Zhen originally wanted to persuade him not to be so high-profile, as it would be bad if it attracted other people.
But just as the words were on the tip of his tongue, he saw Song Wan push open the study door, pull out the whip from his waist and swing it at the bookcase behind the desk.
With a loud crash, the bookcase fell to the ground and broke into a pile of wood. Behind the huge bookcase was a wall of glittering gold.
Jiang Zhen swallowed, his eyes shining. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last saw gold.
What's there to persuade him about? Whatever Miss Song says and does is right. He decided that from now on, if Miss Song tells him to go west, he will never go east!
"This man is really rich." Song Wan immediately became excited when he saw the wall of gold. This was enough to buy a lot of food and meat.
Gu Yanji had never expected that there would be a whole wall of gold. It must have been impossible for Yao Xu, who had only been the prefect of Xinzhou for less than three years, to have embezzled so much.
This does not include the underground secret room.
Song Qi almost lost his composure. He quickly asked, "Miss, are you moving?"
Song Wan waved her hand and said, "Move!"
These will all be hers from now on, and she feels happy just thinking about it.
Song Wan asked them to move the gold on the wall first, while she and Gu Yan quickly used brute force to pry open the door of the secret room in the study.
All mechanical techniques, in the face of natural divine power, are like an ant trying to trip an elephant, and are extremely vulnerable.
This was a very large basement. After walking in, Song Wan was stunned by the silver piled all over the floor.
It was actually piled up, and even the boxes were useless.
"This Yao Xu!" After Gu Yan's exclamation, he was left with only deep anger, because he found an account book that recorded the silver and treasures that were tributed by various counties in Xinzhou.
What did they use to pay tribute? They secretly increased the taxes on the people, deceived their superiors and subordinates, and they deserve to be put to death!
Song Wan crawled out from the pile of silver, walked over to Gu Yanji and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this account book?"
"It's more than just a problem." Gu Yan sneered.
"If there's a problem, let's solve it." Song Wan liked money, but she still had some humanity. "Since Yao Xu is so greedy, let's empty this mansion and make him poorer than a beggar on the street!"
Song Wan waved his fist again, "And then beat him up!"
Seeing her extremely serious expression, Gu Yanji's anger immediately dissipated. "Okay, then empty it."
Song Wan liked his flexibility, so she originally planned to empty only the study, but decided to expand the scope to the entire prefectural mansion.
The gold in the study was enough to fill three modified large carts and Jiang Zhen’s small carriage.
The silver in the basement was enough to fill four modified large carts and Jiang Zhen’s two small carriages.
After Jiang Zhen moved the silver, he suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have changed to a larger carriage.
The little carriage was filled up after just a few moves, leaving people feeling a little unsatisfied.
There were only two empty carts left, and Song Wan was afraid that they couldn't hold all the goods, so he temporarily decided to ask Song Qi, Song Jiu and Song Wu to buy a few more.
At this time, the carriage shops were probably closed, so Song Wan took out a dozen silver coins wrapped in cloth from the carriage full of silver and said generously, "Remember to pay, we have money now."
Jiang Zhen's mouth twitched, he really wanted to say, Miss Song, you took the silver from my carriage!
But if it weren't for Miss Song, he probably would never get this money in his lifetime.
Song Qi and his companions were ordered to leave.
Song Wan led the group to continue their tour. There were dozens of courtyards in this mansion where people were currently living. Yao Xu had so many wives and concubines that he needed so many courtyards.
The second place they came to was Yao Xu's wife's yard. What surprised Song Wan was that it was already this late and this person was still not asleep.
The maids guarding the gate had all fainted on the ground. Song Wan entered the courtyard first. After all, this was where the women in the rear house lived. Jiang Zhen stopped at the door because his bag was full of silver anyway.
If his wife knew that he had entered another woman's yard, he would definitely be punished by sleeping in the military camp for half a month.
The barracks were inhabited by smelly men, and Jiang Zhen couldn't get used to sleeping there the most.
"Dad, why don't you leave?" Jiang Da's nose bumped into his father's hard back and he couldn't help complaining.
"Do you want me to die? If your mother knew I came into this yard, how could I live a good life?" Jiang Zhen slapped him, "Why don't you go in and help Miss Song!"
When Jiang Da heard him mention his mother, he quickly shook his head and said, "Then I won't go in either. Let my second and third brothers go in."
Just as he finished speaking, another slap landed on his head. Jiang Da covered his head and shouted, "Dad!"
Jiang Zhen snorted coldly, "You don't have a wife, what are you afraid of? Go in quickly!"
Jiang replied, “…Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.”
It was because his mother at home was too powerful, which made him subconsciously choose to retreat.
Song Wan heard everything the bearded man said. She muttered to herself, "You men have so many rules."
Gu Yan was anxious...why did this sound so strange.
After Song Wan came in, she did not use her mental power immediately. She heard the woman in the room seemed to be scolding the bad guy Yao Xu, and she felt quite happy to hear it.
Song Wan pulled Gu Yan to the corner of the wall. She imitated the plot in later TV shows, blew on her index finger, and then poked a hole in the paper-pasted window.
She leaned over and saw a beautiful woman in her early thirties sitting by the bed, with an old nanny and a young maid standing beside her.
After scolding who knows how many concubines, the beautiful woman took a breath and asked, "Did the master go to Concubine Zhang's courtyard or Concubine Xu's today?"
The old nanny bowed her head and replied, "I heard from the maid in the front yard that the master has gone out."
The beautiful woman frowned, as if numb. "Xiahe Courtyard or Qiuju Courtyard?"
These two places were the two brothels that Song Wan had visited not long ago.
The old lady seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally replied, "It's Chunfeng Tower."
When the beautiful woman heard this, she almost couldn't breathe. Yao Xu was slapping her in the face. Not only were there not enough concubines in the mansion for him to sleep with, she also didn't stop him from going to brothels outside. Now, he actually started visiting brothels.
Immediately afterwards, Song Wan heard the beautiful woman cursing Yao Xu's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"No, I want a divorce!" the beautiful woman said finally.
"Yao Xu is a wife that suits my taste. It's just that she's unlucky to marry this scumbag." Song Wan tugged at Gu Yan anxiously, "How about we stop searching her yard?"
Gu Yan was anxious. "You can decide for yourself about your money."
Song Wan liked his understanding. "Then let's go."
So the entire mansion, except for the beautiful woman's yard, was completely looted by Song Wan without leaving a single penny behind.
In the middle, we even encountered a live sex scene, where the son cheated on his father and the son of a concubine slept with another concubine.
Song Wan's strange behavior made Gu Yan so anxious that his face turned black. He directly ordered Gu Wu to wrap the two naked people on the bed with a quilt and throw them out of the study with the secret guards.
Song Wan looked unsatisfied. She had seen apocalyptic action movies before, but this was the first time she had seen a live broadcast like this.
…
It took an hour to empty the entire mansion, and Song Qi and his men were exhausted.
To be honest, they had never been so tired when they were on missions before. They didn't expect that they would be bent over with exhaustion just by moving silver.
Song Wan was very disgusted with this and said, "You can't do this. You must exercise every day when you go back."
She remembered that in the past, there was a non-superpowered person who had specially developed a set of tricks to survive in the apocalypse. These tricks could not only break through the limits of the body, but also increase one's strength and make people stronger.
She saved that man's life, and in order to repay her, he taught her the tricks.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Song Wan decisively chose to accept it. Now that she thinks about it, this set of moves is quite suitable for Song Qi and the others to practice, so that they won't have to slow down their efficiency when going out with her in the future.
Song Qi and others were completely unable to speak. They had not expected that the eldest lady's strength was so great.
For ordinary people, carrying two bags at a time is almost the limit. For those who practice martial arts, carrying three bags is considered very impressive.
As a result, when they each carried three bags of silver on their shoulders, they saw that she had tied two bags of silver together with a short rope and hung them on the whip, so she had a total of six bags on her back.
Seeing how relaxed she walked, I would have thought she was carrying six strings of candied haws.
There were nearly twenty carts loaded with gold, silver, and jewelry, but not enough drivers. Song Wan even temporarily hired two child laborers, Jiang Er and Jiang Shan, but there were still several carts that no one had to drive.
Zhang Sheng had placed several spies in Xinzhou. If he called them over, half of the problem could be solved.
However, when he proposed it, Song Wan rejected it.
She had other plans for the remaining seven carts of silver.
"You guys go home first. Gu Yanji and I have something to do." Song Wan pointed to the carts with the least silver. "Leave these here. We'll need them for our business."
She said that she would make Yao Xu the poorest person in Xinzhou City today, and she couldn't go back on her word.
After seeing Song Wan's abilities, no one even had the right to question her.
They even had a hunch that if they were forced to stay, they would become a burden to her.
Gu Yan anxiously asked Zhang Sheng to take good care of Qi Fu and wait until he returned to discuss everything. In addition, the silver should not be transported back to the village first. Ask Jiang Zhen to help find a hidden place, or just buy a house to hide it, which is also suitable for living.
In Song Wan's words, they are rich now and can afford it.
After they left, Song Wan exerted his mental power on the horses, making them follow him.
"Let's go to where the beggars live in the city first, and then leave the city." Song Wan asked Gu Yanji to sit with her, and she would help control his carriage.
He stayed by her side so that she could replenish her mental strength at any time.
However, since Gu Yan was in a hurry, Song Wan didn't need to drive anymore. She could just free up one hand and concentrate on eating.
After working all night and expending a lot of energy, her stomach was already growling with hunger.
When they arrived at the beggars' residence in the city, Song Wan threw a silver ingot to each of them. Well, they were now richer than Yao Xu.
In the past, she always thought that the more money the better, but now she suddenly felt that spending money in large amounts was more enjoyable.
After leaving the city, they went to several nearby villages and towns and threw a silver ingot into the yard and house of every family.
Every time Song Wan threw a piece of silver, he felt as if he was the God of Wealth worshipped by every household, and he really came to give money.
Gu Yan was moved when she saw her distribute the remaining silver to these people.
Although it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, the appearance of these carts of silver should allow these people to live a life of full food and warm clothing.
Just consider it as compensation for Yao Xu's illegal increase in taxes in recent years.
Gu Yan hurriedly praised her and said that those people would be grateful to her.
This made Song Wan feel a little embarrassed. She just put in some effort, but she was still quite proud.
Because Gu Yan said anxiously that no one in the world was as powerful as her.
Well, she just wants to be the best.
After they left, the entire prefectural mansion fell into desolation.
When Yao Xu hurriedly returned with his men, what he saw were the tied-up secret guards lying on the ground, and two people next to them, whose faces were covered by colorful quilts and could not be seen clearly.
He was horrified. “What’s going on?”
Yao Xu asked the secret guards accompanying him to help untie the ropes.
One of the secret guards who was finally able to speak, regardless of his already numb legs, quickly knelt down and said, "Just now a group of weird robbers came to the mansion and emptied the whole mansion."
Yes, it’s a weirdo, a weirdo who can control them remotely.
"What do you mean emptied?" Yao Xu heard this and immediately kicked him away and ran into the study. His eyes widened. Where was the gold? There was only a pile of broken wood!
The basement was also opened, and the silver piled higher than a person was gone.
He hurried out again, kicked several secret guards several times, and shouted angrily, "Someone came to rob you, couldn't you stop them? You let them be kidnapped like that, what am I keeping you for?"
Yao Xu, who was already in a bad mood because of Liu Qingyun's sudden death, was even more furious at this moment. What weirdos! He even suspected that these people had betrayed him and acted out this drama themselves.
Yao Xu thought about it and turned his gaze to the colorful quilt. He couldn't help but frown. The quilt gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Who are they? Why are they lying here?" Yao Xu questioned the secret guard.
The secret guard lowered his eyes, without any intention of concealing anything, "My lord, it's the Second Young Master and Concubine Qing."
Yao Xu stumbled back a step, unable to believe it, "What did you say?!"
How could Yao Xu be so angry when his most beloved son actually got together with his most favored concubine?
"Evil creature!" Yao Xu was furious. He pulled out the sword from the secret guard and stabbed the two people on the ground.
