Chapter 189: Taishi's Mansion Errand - Hidden Traces

Hongjun They didn't stay in the living room, one is that this is the closest to the two guards outside the door, if there is any wind and grass, it is easy to alarm them, and the second is that this living room generally does not store any finances, and no one will put gold and silver in the living room, right?

First searched in the study, in addition to a large number of books are some valuable decorations, Hongjun only took the two most expensive ones, and then slowly moved to the east wing with a slow cloth on the ground like a duck, this outer bedroom has two beds in the north and south, without any cover, each has a maid is sleeping soundly, and there are various towels and basins placed on the side of the bed for the master to need at any time. Hongjun and the three of them did not stay here, and directly lifted a curtain to the inner room, which is where Jiang Shang sleeps, with bookcases on three sides, a table and chair in the middle that can be used by four people, and the rest is a bed covered by the bed curtain.

A slight snoring came from the bed, and Hongjun turned his neck in a very small way, carefully looking at each bookcase, except for the books and a small amount of animal fur, there were some decorations that looked very valuable, Hongjun did not dare to take these things, because he would be found as soon as he could tomorrow. Hongjun didn't dare to stay here, he could only pick something that looked particularly valuable, and after scanning a few laps with his eyes, he focused on the bed, not the old man sleeping on the bed, but Hongjun found that the bed seemed to be a few points higher than the ordinary one, Hongjun's eyes narrowed, and found that the lower half of the bed had holes. The base about half a meter high actually had two tiny gaps, which could only be found by aliens like Hongjun and others, otherwise it would be difficult to observe even in daytime.

Hongjun squatted on the ground and moved over step by step, and found that it was difficult to insert even his nails into the gap, so he had no choice but to turn around and take the short sword that Bai Xi carried, the slender sword head could only go in a few millimeters, and with a slight force on the sword body, the corner of the wooden board was warped, and Hongjun gently buckled out the thick wooden board with his fingertips, it turned out that behind the wooden board was a dark grid, which contained two exquisite boxes, and two locks of different shapes made Hongjun have no time to study carefully. Then he repeated the old trick to open another hidden compartment, and there was only a larger box inside, and there were three locks pressed on it at the same time, what was the valuable thing in the box that could be opened with three keys? Hongjun was a little sweaty with excitement.

First, he reached in and groped around a few boxes, and found no other mechanisms, and then took out the two smaller boxes and handed them to the two women, and then took out the largest box, and then pressed the bed board, and after putting it on, he pressed it with his hand to make it fit more tightly.

"Click" a soft sound, so that the three of them nervously raised their heads to look at the direction of the bed, Hongjun felt that the hairs on his whole body stood up, the bed board of the horse turned out to be the kind that can be bounced up with a single press, why did he do this more? I just hope that Jiang Shang guy can not be so vigilant.

The three of them nervously watched the reaction of the man on the bed, who only stopped snoring for a few seconds, then seemed to roll over, and soon there was a slight snoring sound.

The three of them collapsed at this time, Hongjun nervously closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and signaled the two women to leave here, due to the arrival of things, coupled with the accident just now, the pace of the three of them accelerated a little, when passing outside, Bai Xi, who was walking in front, accidentally rubbed a basin with his elbow, there was no water in the basin, it seemed that it was temporarily poured in from a container next to it when needed, so the bronze basin fell from the stool under this rub, Bai Xi looked at the basin with a pale face, and forgot to reach out to catch it for a while, the slight sound made the highly nervous Bai Ze and Hongjun also notice the basin in mid-air, Hongjun stretched out his hand to catch it, but he didn't catch it, but when his finger was quickly stretched out, he flicked the basin to the other side, Hongjun looked desperately at the basin that drew a curve in mid-air and was about to fall to the ground, as soon as it landed, I am afraid that the three people in this room and the guards outside will get up to check it, At that time, the three of them were about to be discovered.

At this moment, Bai Ze didn't care about the box in his hand, and quickly stretched out his hands, which were able to catch the basin before it hit the ground, and the back of his hand was only less than a centimeter away from the ground.

There was a soft sound of "bang", although the basin was caught to avoid the screeching sound of the metal falling to the ground, but the movement of the box falling to the ground was unavoidable no matter what, fortunately, the box was originally very close to the ground, so the sound was also very slight. The three of them were nervously lowered, and Bai Xi was even so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly and trembled like a quail.

The slight sound made the nearest maid take a deep breath, raised her head in a daze, opened a hazy eye, and glanced at it by the candlelight.

The three of them waited for a while, only to swallow their saliva when there was no movement at all, Bai Xi's little face was already dripping with sweat, Bai Ze trembled and gently put the basin on the stool, this was like a drowning fish opened his mouth to gasp a few times, although they didn't need to breathe to maintain normal needs, but the scene in front of him still made him instinctively take a few breaths to make the heart that was about to jump out more comfortable.

Hongjun pouted, signaling the two to leave here quickly, Hongjun was also extremely nervous at this time, and there was only one thought in his mind to leave here quickly, and finally moved to the living room, and the three of them hurriedly quickened their pace, and they didn't dare to stay for a moment and went out of the window. White Snake and Bai Lin were also hidden in the shadows, looking around nervously, and when they saw that the three of them finally came out, they gently gathered over.

Hongjun didn't talk nonsense, shook his head and jumped onto the wall with them, and then walked quickly towards the outside of the mansion. The muscular figure was much faster than when it came.

However, in the bedroom just now, Jiang Shang's snoring suddenly stopped, if someone was here at this time, he would definitely find that the sweat on his forehead had also wet the pillow, Jiang Shang turned over, gently lifted the bed curtain and leaked a small eye to observe, and then shouted loudly, "Someone!" ”

It turned out that when Hongjun accidentally made that "click" sound, Jiang Shang had already discovered the abnormality, after all, he was old and his sleep quality was not good, and a little movement could wake up Jiang Shang. But Jiang Shang, who was sorry for his life, didn't shout, he immediately judged that the person should be a thief, because if he came to assassinate himself, then the sound of the bed board just now would not have come out at all. Jiang Shang slowly stretched out his hand to take out a dagger under the pillow, and then pretended to turn over and continue to snore, as long as this group of people did not come to assassinate him, they took the property as they pleased, if they shouted, the people outside would indeed rush in, but the thief would definitely jump over the wall and hijack himself, it was better to pretend not to know first, take them out of here to ensure their own safety, and then act at the opportunity.

Just when Hongjun was only a dozen meters away from the outer wall, a rapid gong sounded from the side of the residence, and the Taishifu began to light up with firelight and candlelight everywhere as if he was suddenly awakened, Hongjun knew that he had been discovered, so he no longer moved slowly, and jumped outside with the four girls in three or five steps, and he didn't have time to pick up the utensils that had been hidden before, and ran towards the inn with the four girls in a hurry, and after arriving at the back wall of the inn, he jumped into their room through the open window.

After the five people turned in, they all looked at each other with flushed faces, and then Hongjun raised his fists to clamp his head, and shook his fists a few times, as if to vent the tension just now. The fourth girl also raised her small fist at this time, swinging happily in front of her chest. The experience of being a thief for the first time made them excited, nervous and exciting, as well as a trace of uneasiness and fear.

Hongjun and the others did not light the oil lamp, with their extraordinary eyesight sat around the table, on which were placed three boxes of different sizes, and the four women looked nervously at tonight's loot, and they were very curious about the contents of the boxes. Bai Xi completely lost the nervousness when he was in trouble just now, and rubbed his hands back and forth with his eyes wide open, the corners of his mouth were clasped together, obviously looking forward to the contents of the box.

Seeing this, Hongjun said that a smaller box was pushed to Bai Xi's side, and Bai Xi immediately put his hands on his cheeks excitedly, his body curled up slightly, and his eyes narrowed happily. Immediately took out the short sword, and struck the lock with the hilt, but nothing happened, Bai Xi stretched out his tongue a little embarrassed, and then aimed at it with the blade, a cold light flashed, and the lock was cut off by the short sword that was as iron as clay. Bai Xi directly put the short sword on the side, covered the lid of the box with both hands and looked around, fully enjoying the moment of harvest, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then held his breath and gently lifted the lid.

"Wow..."

"Get rich, get rich!"

"This Taishi's collection is really unusual!"

"yes, yes"

Bai Xi smiled and took out a jade Ruyi in the box and played with it in his hand, and the other three women also pulled for a while, what was in this box was not gold or silver, but jade that was more valuable than gold and silver. And at first glance, it is an extraordinary product. Without first-class carving, the jade quality is also extremely transparent, and it is obviously worth a lot.
