Chapter 163 1 Upright and Dignified
The person standing in front of the window on the second floor took in the entire scene. Looking at County Magistrate Mu with a sinister look on his face, his brows slightly frowned.
He raised his hand and waved, and a man in dark clothes immediately appeared beside him, "Your Highness."
"Go, check the county magistrate's affairs, no matter how big or small."
"Yes." The man in black took the order and retreated quietly.
Yun Mo could see that the couple were not ordinary people.
He had never seen them in the imperial city, so he thought they were not from the imperial capital. However, he knew a lot about the people from the big families in various places, but he had no impression of them.
Therefore, they are most likely not from Yun State. Those who appear in Huaicheng, a small border town next to Song State, should be from Song State. Of course, they may also be from An State, after all, it is not far from Nanfang City at this time, but the probability is smaller.
In the middle of the night, Yuan Man and Yuan Er sneaked into the Mu Mansion. Yuan Er went to Mu Qiang's room, while Yuan Man went to the study.
Yuanman searched the study carefully, trying to find where the secret room was.
According to her past experience, darkrooms are usually located in the study.
After a thorough search, she found the location of the secret room, under the couch at the back of the study.
Yuan Man looked at the room full of gold, jewelry and boxes of silver in the dark room, and took them all, not leaving a single copper coin.
I confirmed again to make sure I hadn't left anything behind before I prepared to leave.
When she saw the lamp on the wall, she couldn't help but squint.
Is this light positioned too low?
Yuan Man stretched out his hand and broke it, "Kaka..."
There is actually a door next to it.
Yuan Man took out the Jingyun Sword and walked in. Because she was holding a candle in her hand, the distance she could see was limited, so she was very alert.
It seems that this county magistrate is not as simple as he seems.
After walking nearly two hundred meters inside, I saw a dark room full of shelves.
Yuan Man raised his brows slightly, and instead of checking each shelf one by one, he put away all the shelves and the things on them.
Anything that can be placed in a dark room like this must be good stuff.
Then he saw two more boxes in the corner. Yuanman walked over and opened them. They were all filled with silver bills, the smallest of which was one hundred taels.
Although the two boxes of silver are from Yun Country, they are all money and can be used in Yun Country.
Received.
She had a sudden idea and wanted to take away all the money that the county magistrate had embezzled. Unexpectedly, she got a good harvest.
After looking carefully again and making sure that nothing was left behind, Yuan Man left the dark room.
I looked around the study and saw the various antique bottles on the bookshelf. I collected them all, including the books.
And the paintings on the wall, put them away.
Well, this desk is also a good thing, I’ll keep it.
In the end, only the lonely shelf was left in the study, and even the gauze curtains were removed.
Yuanman left the study and originally wanted to check out other rooms, but when he heard footsteps coming this way, he immediately dodged and hid on the beam.
"My lord, does His Highness want you to assassinate the Sixth Prince?"
Mu Qiang nodded, "With our strength, there is no way we can kill the Sixth Prince who is protected by secret guards. If we really start fighting, we will only lose ourselves."
"You go and make the arrangements. Just pretend it's OK. Besides, it's not certain whether the Sixth Prince will come to Huaicheng."
The county magistrate who was following Mu Qiang thought for a moment and said, "But if His Highness knew about this, would he blame you?"
Mu Qiang paused as he raised his hand. "Then don't let him know."
"By the way, how is the arrangement going for you?"
The county magistrate nodded and said, "I have already given the order. Since the madam's shop is next to the inn, we can only wait until they leave the inn before we take action."
Mu Qiang frowned but said nothing. He withdrew his hand that was about to push open the study door.
"It's nothing, you can go back and rest first." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The county magistrate followed him and left the Mu Mansion.
After they left, Yuan Man fell down from the beam. Thinking of their conversation just now, he wanted to give Mu Qiang something.
But she had already emptied the study, so there was no need to burn it.
Then go to the warehouse, move it a bit, and then burn it.
So Yuanman started looking for a warehouse, and finally found one in Mrs. Mu's yard in the backyard. He didn't know whether it was her dowry or the Mu family's, but there were a lot of things, and the entire warehouse was almost full.
No matter who it belongs to, just take it.
Then he lit a fire, and while everyone was attracted, he immediately sneaked into Mu Qiang's yard.
I didn’t see Yuan Er. He must have either gone out or gone somewhere else.
There is also a warehouse, but, it’s not even half the size of Mrs. Mu’s warehouse. I took it.
Just the same, a fire was lit.
Mu Qiang looked at the fire in the warehouse, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, "What are you still standing there for? Put out the fire."
"Sir, the warehouse in the lady's yard is also on fire." The butler came over and said.
"What!" Mu Qiang quickly ran towards Mrs. Mu's yard.
He put most of the things in his wife's storeroom in case someone came to investigate and thought he had hidden them.
Although the bulk of the stuff is in the dark room, there are also quite a few things in the lady's place.
If this were to be set on fire, he would vomit blood.
When Mu Qiang saw the crackling fire, he felt darkness before his eyes. The fire was swallowing up his money like a gold-eating beast.
"Hurry, put out the fire." Mu Qiang shouted loudly, and immediately ran towards the study room thinking of something.
When he saw the empty study, he felt dizzy and quickly opened the darkroom.
Seeing the empty darkroom, he spat out a mouthful of blood that he had been holding back. He forced himself to open another darkroom while feeling dizzy and walked in with the lantern. This time, he could no longer hold it back and passed out.
When Yuan Man came out of the Mu Mansion, he saw Yuan Er waiting outside. "Let's go back to the inn first and talk while we walk."
"Yes."
The two shared information on the way, and Yuanman just felt that Mu Qiang was really not a human being.
There are concubines who are only twelve or thirteen years old. If this happened in modern times, the minimum age would be three years and the maximum would be ten years.
However, Yuan Er did not find the other information because Mu Qiang was in the room at that time and it was not convenient to investigate.
However, Mu Qiang's wife is an interesting person. She plays when her husband plays.
Today, there are two young masters from the inn in her room, trying to make her happy.
When the two returned to the inn, they saw Hui Chengyuan standing in front of the room with a dark face, looking at her.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Er immediately hid himself.
Yuan Man touched his nose and moved closer, "My dear husband Xiao, why are you up? It's the middle of the night and the dew is heavy. Go back to your room quickly."
Hui Chengyuan's mouth twitched, "Tell me, where were you going? Why didn't you call me?"
Yuan Man coughed lightly, "It's not easy to call you."
"I'm going to rob the county magistrate's house and burn down his storehouse. It's not appropriate to bring you along for this."
"You are such a righteous person, how could you do such a thing?"
"I should thank you, right?" Hui Chengyuan's eyelids twitched.
Yuan Man patted his shoulder and said, "You're welcome. This is what a wife should do."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at Yuan Er in the dark, carried Yuan Man into the room and closed the door.
Yuan Er shrugged.
