Chapter 19 A night of fat pockets

When the housekeeper saw his master trembling, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him. He kept muttering in his mind: "Please take your time! You tell me where to go! You can't be in a hurry."

"Let's go!" Zou Jing rarely shook off the butler's supporting hand. His phoenix eyes were red, and his voice was low but could not hide his excited trembling: "Take your eldest son home."

"The eldest young master?!" The housekeeper was delighted, but then he was filled with worries. Over the years, countless people have come to the door in the name of the eldest young master, trying to tear out the master's heart. This time...

"This time, it's no different, no difference!" Zou Jing thought that he still had two eyesight after living for all these years. Besides, even if he took a step back, how could he dare to entrust such an important matter to him? How could he be lying! So what?

Dare to lie!

Yu Xian hid behind the tree, and when he saw the candlelight getting further and further away, he turned around and turned back.

The courtyard you enter on the second day looks ordinary from the outside, with mottled walls and even less glamorous than the neighbors, but there is something special inside!

Of course, this cave is not in the courtyard, but in the room at the second entrance.

Before getting the answer, Zou Jing was probably worried about the whereabouts of his only son. He was cautious and did not want to make a wrong step and offend the 'master', so he did not step into the house. Otherwise, he would never have left so neatly.

After getting the answer, naturally nothing is as important as my son!

Yu Xian didn't stop as soon as he entered, and went straight north along the broken bluestone path, and entered the back yard through the mottled moon gate.

As soon as I opened the door to the main room, my nose was filled with the strong and overbearing aroma of incense.

This smell was something she had never smelled before, but she could still roughly smell it after using several scents. Although the rhinoceros scent was faint, it could not escape her nose.

I gave the tribute rhinoceros incense to the outer room. I don’t know whether I should say that Zou Jie cherishes the flowers! Or I should say that Zou Jie is brave!

Striding into the house, she found that it had been emptied out, but she knew what had been inside, how many prohibited items there were, and how many tributes there were.

It's a pity. If Zou Jie hadn't been used earlier, eating these would definitely be a lot of money!

Who would have thought that the poor scholar who took advantage of his father-in-law's influence, the incorruptible minister with a reputation for being "unstoppable", and the infatuated man with the reputation of "marrying two people if he wanted to" would not only have a childhood sweetheart but also give birth to a child.

His Qingmei waisi, who gave birth to two sons and a daughter, was still a big borer! He even put the money and items he had enriched himself from through corruption and bribery over the years in the courtyard of his waisi!

After arriving at the corner and looking around, Yu Xian walked directly to the corner, squatted down and tapped the stone slab under his feet.

Empty! This is it.

He took out a dagger from his backpack, inserted it along the gap between the bricks in the corner of the wall, slid it open on all four sides, and then pried it open, revealing the hole below.

It was pitch dark inside.

Yu Xian took out another flashlight and shined a strong light on it. He saw that the bottom looked like a deep well, at least fifteen or six meters deep. The walls of the well were extremely smooth on all sides, and the bottom of the well was filled with swords.

Ordinary torches will never be able to see that deep! If you jump directly, there are three most likely consequences: fall to death, be tied to a sieve to death, or starve to death.

Of course, if you are very lucky, you might be able to find a way out. There is a one-meter-square hole on the south-facing well wall about half way up.

Yu Xian held the flashlight in his mouth, jumped down facing west, and slowly slid down while supporting the north and south sides with his hands and feet.

Until his right foot was in the air! He pushed hard with his left hand and left foot, and the whole person rolled into the hole on the right.

Although the entrance is only one meter square, the inside becomes wider and wider as you walk, and it feels like you will suddenly be enlightened after walking a dozen or so steps!

The secret room is not large in area, only about thirty square meters, but there are rows of shelves towering up to the sky, and they are piled high!

Yu Xian's eyes lit up and he quickly opened the nearest box, which was filled with gold ingots!

That’s outrageous!

She pointed out the corruption and bribery and hiding in an outer room, and the address was clearly written down. How dare Zou Jie keep these things here?!

Does Zou Jie think too highly of himself, or does he underestimate her too much?

After all the boxes were opened, his eyes were filled with sparkling pearls and he was full of money. I let out a long breath.

It seems like these things are destined for her!

I opened the space directly and thought about how to put these in.

As for why her backpack ended up like this, it was not all because these unexpected blessings came too suddenly!

Thanks to her foresight, the mahogany box she chose was custom-made at a higher cost. It was much larger than an ordinary box, so she put these things down together with the box.

After everything was cleaned up, I ran to the corner and continued to pry off the stone slabs.

Using the same method, after opening it, Yu Xian suddenly dodged to the side. At the same time, seven short arrows were shot out from the cave, bang bang bang! Even if you didn't look at the depth of the wooden frame, just listening to the movement was enough.

I know how powerful this short arrow is.

Yu Xian silently counted five, and then fired another salvo of seven short arrows!

However, the strength this time is obviously not as good as before. Just look at the light blue light on the tip of the arrow when it hits the ground, and you will know how powerful it is!

After these two rounds were over, Yu Xian returned to the opened stone slab. The hole was extremely shallow, and at a glance he could see the empty mechanical crossbow and the wooden box inlaid with jewels surrounded by the mechanical crossbow.

With regret on his face, Yu Xian slashed the wooden box with two clicks of his dagger.

What a pity. The wood and gems are soaked in poison. Although it can be cured, the antidote contains two herbs that are extremely scarce and expensive, not to mention the effort! Even the money spent must be higher than the value of this box!

He opened the broken wooden box and then opened the iron box inside, revealing the account books wrapped in oil paper.

Yu Xian put the thing away, put the dagger separately into a metal box and stored it in his backpack, before returning the same way.

Touching the smooth well wall, Yu Xian gave up the gecko movement technique, mobilized the little internal strength he had finally developed, and rushed out of the 'well' with a boost of energy.

After returning the stone slab, Yu Xian left quietly.

Although I spent a lot of time last night, I still got up early in the morning.

After all, she is just a mother-in-law. As a son, it is natural to say and do whatever she wants, but as a daughter-in-law, it is better to be respectful and polite.

Besides, she has to give face to her cheap husband! Anyway, it’s hard to tell when she’s grown. This is the only time in the past two or three years that she can set the rules in front of her mother-in-law.

But Yu Xian was ready, but her cheap husband didn't move.

It wasn't until Wei Shi came forward that he sent someone to invite her, saying that she was ready to leave.

It took less than three minutes to wait to get into the car.

The carriage swayed slowly along the way, and it was already past midnight when we arrived in front of the palace gate.

It’s less than an hour before the keys to the Li Palace Gate are locked! Including the time spent traveling back and forth from the palace gate to Yong Ning Palace, the total time you can spend in Yong Ning Palace is only one hour, right?
Chapter completed!
