Chapter 71: Free



Why is the lady so popular with animals? They also try to imitate her by getting food to feed her, but the animals don't give her any face at all and don't get close to her at all. They just eat the food and run away after finishing it. Don't even think about touching her with your hands. They will get angry if you get too close to them.

Madam is Madam after all, and she is different from these servants.

Haha, nothing will be the same in this life, mutation is not that easy to occur.

Congcong came back just as it got dark in the evening.

"Yueyue, bring up the good wine and food!"

Bai Zhiyue had become accustomed to its crazy talk at any time. Knowing that it was hungry and thirsty, she brought it the fine meat and millet that had been prepared long ago, and poured it a small cup of warm water.

"Come on, eat now, the good wine and food are here."

"Yueyue still understands me. Su Gu has already settled down. He went south to Qingjiang County and is now staying at the Tongfu Inn in the county."

"Okay, eat and rest for a while and we'll go back early."

"Okay, I'm not too tired, just a little cold."

"Put you in a warm blanket and ride with me. You only need to show the way."

"Yueyue is so nice to me!"

At night, he let Qinglian and Hongying go back to rest early, put Chiyan into the space first, jumped out of the mansion wall alone, and released Chiyan only after leaving the city.

"Woman, where did you take me just now? What kind of place is that? Why is everything so white and bright? And what are those things? Why have I never seen them before?"

"That was brought out from hell. Of course you haven't seen it. Okay, stop asking and go!"

"Yueyue, where did that stupid horse go just now? Can I go there too?"

"Okay, but it's better not to go in if you have nothing to do. There are dangerous objects inside that can blow up the entire capital. I let Chiyan in today because it was difficult to take her out of the city."

"Ahh, what's so scary? You stupid horse, don't move!"

"As soon as I entered, I was trapped in a room. Everything was cold and silver. I didn't dare to move at all."

Haha, Bai Zhiyue put it in a laboratory on purpose. She was indeed worried that people would mess around with things after entering. The ammunition inside were all dangerous items.

One man, one horse, and one magpie arrived at Qingjiang County in less than two hours. It was close to the capital city to the north and was the largest water transportation starting point in the inland. There were many merchants coming and going, and it was quite prosperous. Even at night, the main streets were crowded with people.

Before entering the city, I put the horse in the woods outside the road.

"You wait here, I'll go in and come out after I'm done."

"Go ahead, just don't put me in that cage. That place is not fun at all. Just looking at it makes the horse feel gloomy and cold. It feels colder than the winter outside."

It is said that animals have very keen senses and it is true. That room has been used to dissect many humans and animals, so it is very eerie. Plus, she said it was from hell, which scared Chi Yan so much that she refused to go in again.

Bai Zhiyue entered the city and walked openly on the street. There were many pedestrians on the road and no one noticed her.

With Congcong helping to lead the way, she found Tongfu Inn without having to ask anyone.

"He lives in the second room on the east side of the second floor. The lights are off now, so he must have gone to bed."

"Wait a little longer, let's go after they are all asleep."

After waiting in the dark for half an hour, the streets became quiet and the lights in the inn were turned off.

Bai Zhiyue jumped and lay down outside the window of Su Gu's room. She stopped for a while and listened to the even breathing inside. She knew that he was sleeping very soundly. In order to prevent any accidents, she blew a smoke into the room.

He jumped into the room and checked his bag first. There was only a set of clothes, a few dozen taels of loose silver, an ID and a travel permit in it.

I looked through his coat again and found that there was not a single piece of paper in any of his pockets.

"This person is really careful. Where did he put it? He wouldn't keep it close to his body all the time."

Do I have to touch the corpse today? No, do I have to touch the flesh?

Bai Zhiyue had no choice but to pinch his inner shirt and trouser legs, and sure enough, there was an oilcloth bag tied at his thigh, which contained 200,000 taels of silver notes. Further up, there was a sewn-up cloth bag on the inside of his shirt, which contained 100,000 taels of silver notes, and the remaining 30,000 taels of silver notes were placed in the belt around his trousers.

"Are you planning on wearing this underwear forever? Hmm~ I wonder how long you've been wearing it!"

Bai Zhiyue frowned as she held the silver bills she had searched out and put them directly into the space. She had to spray them with alcohol disinfectant spray before using them. Alas, it was a big sacrifice for money.

He got more than 300,000 taels of silver for free, returned home safely, and fell asleep happily holding his son.

Su Gu was so unhappy that he almost died on the spot.

The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was to check the things he had hidden on him. After all, this was all the cash that the Marquis could use. It was also the Marquis' hope and the hope for his family to be able to escape from citizenship.

The first thing he checked was the cloth bag on his shirt. He touched it once and still nothing. He was so scared that his heart stopped beating. Then he touched the cloth bag that had been tied to his thigh with trembling hands.

Nothing, nothing, nothing at all. He even took off his pants and shook them, but there was nothing. His vision went dark and he was about to collapse. He bit his tongue hard, trying to stay awake.

He gently touched his belt, hoping that the thief would leave some behind, but his hope was unfulfilled, as he didn't leave a single piece.

“It’s over.”

I feel like crying but I have no tears. What can I do? Three hundred and thirty thousand yuan, the Marquis's hope. Even if he dies a hundred times, it will not be able to make up for his mistake.

The most terrifying thing was how he would explain that he had lost the Marquis. Would he believe it? Was it the money he had lost? It was the hope he had of raising his head again.

After all, Su Gu had worked as a manager with his father for many years. After becoming anxious and frightened, he began to think about how to solve the problem.

"Should we report it to the police?"

"No, I can't take revenge! If I do, I'll die, and even my parents, wife, and children will be implicated. Otherwise, I'll commit suicide and make it look like I was robbed and murdered."

"But I don't want to die. I want to see my son grow up, pass the imperial examinations, and bring honor to our family. I can't die!"

An hour later, he made a decision, changed his clothes and quietly returned to the capital. He stared at the gate of the marquis's mansion from afar. When he saw his father leaving, he hurriedly bought two meat buns and asked a beggar to take the opportunity of bumping into him to put his jade pendant into his father's hand.

Su Mingzhong naturally recognized the jade pendant on his son. He had clearly gone to work for the Marquis, so where did the jade pendant come from?

He looked around and suddenly saw his son leaving around a corner.

Su Mingzhong knew that something must have happened, so he sent the people around him to do things and followed alone.

The two men entered a small courtyard one after the other and closed the door tightly.

"Gu'er, didn't you leave the city yesterday? Why are you in the capital again?"

"Dad, something terrible has happened! I was robbed after just one night in Qingjiang County. Not a single cent of my money was left. I didn't dare report it to the police or return to the Marquis' Mansion, so I had no choice but to come back and discuss with you what should we do?"

"You~really got stolen?"
