Leopard House Hutong, the private residence of Mrs. Fengsheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This night, Mu Wan came in the name of visiting Ke Yinyue, accompanied by Lin Chunwei, on the surface, on behalf of Xiong Sifei to greet the Hakka family and send some precious gifts, but secretly came to steal the confidential account book.

Although Ke Yinyue is the owner of this private house, she rarely lives here, unless she has something important to discuss with Cui Chengxiu, Xiong Sifei and others. The Ke family and Mu Wan haven't seen each other for a long time, and today it is difficult to get out of the palace, so a banquet was set up to entertain her sister.

Mu Wan came with a purpose, and naturally frequently persuaded to drink at the wine table, pleasing the Hakka family. Halfway through the banquet, he got drunk and drowsy with this delicate beauty; She herself pretended to be too drunk, and lay down at her desk and pretended to sleep.

Seeing that they were all happy and drunk now, the maid in the house helped the Ke family to the bedroom, and at the same time helped Mu Wan to the side room to rest, leaving Lin Chunwei and the others to continue eating and drinking.

Originally, Mu Wan planned to steal this account book directly, but after thinking about it, she still used other means. Although the Hakka family does not often come to this private house, but this mansion as the hub of her contact with the outside world, in addition to inviting some maids who are responsible for cleaning, but also recruited some people who know martial arts as doormen, especially the swordsman who is drinking with Lin Chunwei Ren Xing is superior in martial arts, is the leader of these doormen, has been praised by Xiong Sifei many times, and once wanted to take him under his command.

Therefore, it is not easy to sneak in and steal directly, and no one can imagine that she is here to steal things, so naturally she will not take precautions. And she can also take advantage of the opportunity to get drunk in the house and secretly search for this account book.

Mu Wan was helped to the bed in the room by the maids, and after covering the tulle, the two maids gently retreated and closed the door. Mu Wan didn't get up, she knew that the two of them would definitely come back. Sure enough, soon they came to the room again, Mu Wan opened her eyes slightly, and saw that they were each carrying a basin and a towel in their hands, and they didn't have to think about it to know that they were here to wash her.

Mu Wan still pretended to be drunk, let them scrub their cheeks and hands, and finally wiped their feet before leaving the room.

As soon as they closed the door, Mu Wan's eyes widened and she quickly sat up.

She had been here several times, and she was very familiar with it, and at first glance she knew that she was placed in the wing room on the east side. Such an important thing as a confidential account book must be hidden in Hakka's bedroom, even if it is not in her bedroom, it must be hidden in other rooms in the attic, and it is impossible to put it in a side room.

Mu Wan put on her shoes, gently came to the door, opened the door and walked towards the bedroom where the Hakka family lived.

Outside the porch of the attic, two doormen were leaning on the pillar and chatting, and when they saw her coming, they quickly stopped talking and greeted her.

Mu Wan stroked her forehead with her hand and said coquettishly: "Two big brothers, may I ask where is Lu Xuan, can you give me some pointers?" ”

The two men smiled evilly when they heard that she was going, and one of them pointed to the northwest corner and said, "It's over there." ”

"Thank you." Mu Wan smiled at them, and walked towards that side with vague steps.

The two of them looked at Mu Wan's swaying steps, and when she walked away, one of them couldn't help but say: "Such a drunken beauty is out of courtesy, I don't know what the scenery is, I really want to see it clearly." ”

Another person chirped, "You're too perverted, aren't you?" ”

The man smiled, still looking at Mu Wan's staggering and drunk figure, reluctant to turn his eyes away, until this back disappeared at the end of the corridor, then shook his head and sighed.

Mu Wan bypassed the corridor and rushed to the corridor on the side. It is a two-story wooden and stone building, and the Hakka family lives upstairs. When she came upstairs softly, and made sure that there was no one else nearby, she put her ear to the door and listened, and there was a slight snoring sound from the Hakka inside, so she gently pushed open the door, dodged in, and then gently closed the door.

By the light of the red candles hanging high above the candlesticks, she could see the situation in the room clearly. The interior of the room is very luxurious, the floor is covered with thick brocade, the stone walls are also carved with various paintings, the tortoiseshell colored shell inlaid dresser, the pear wood table and chairs, the furniture in the room is all exquisite, which shows the luxury of Hakka life.

I saw that Ke was lying on her back on the rosewood shelf bed, and through the hanging curtain of light veil, it could be seen that she was still drunk and unconscious.

Mu Wan put her mind at ease and tiptoed over. In one corner of the room lay a large cabinet with a golden lock locked in it, and the ledger was in it.

She had figured out before she came that this kind of confidential thing must have been locked, so the first thing to do was to find the key to unlock it. Hakka is drunk on the bed, and it is impossible to sleep with the key, so the key is afraid that it is also in a corner of this room.

Mu Wan glanced at her eyes, and saw a purse with gold and silver threads placed on the dresser, she gently opened the purse and looked through it, but found that it was full of sachets, powder boxes and the like, and even a bell, but there was no key.

She couldn't help but wonder, where did the Hakka put the key, it wouldn't be in this room, if that was the case, it would be a lot of trouble. I rummaged through the room for a while, but I still didn't find anything.

"Well......" A coquettish voice came into her ears, startling her, it turned out that Keshi turned over and lay face inside.

Mu Wan looked at the body of the Ke family lying horizontally, and her heart moved, should she hide the key under the pillow or quilt?

With the mentality that she would rather give it a try, she quietly approached the bedside, lifted the curtain, and bowed down to look over. As Hakka's body turned around, most of the pillow was exposed, and she reached out to pinch the corner of the pillow and lifted it gently, but the bottom was empty, and there was nothing but the cushion.

Mu Wan's heart became anxious, if she couldn't find the key and couldn't get the account book, how could she explain to Sun Yueling? Reaching out and groping for a while on the cushion, he found that there seemed to be a protruding injustice near the head of the bed. Mu Wan hurriedly reached under the cushion and seemed to have touched a leather case.

The leather case is slightly narrow and long, and nine times out of ten it is used to hide keys. Mu Wan was overjoyed, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, but unexpectedly pulled down half but couldn't pull it, it turned out that the other end of the leather case was tied with silk thread and tied to the corner of the bed.

Mu Wan smiled bitterly in her heart, the Hakka family was very arrogant on weekdays, but she didn't expect that she would have such a heart, hiding something not only under the bed, but also tied it up. Fortunately, she was well prepared, took out a dagger from her bosom, cut the silk thread, took out the holster, opened it, and sure enough, there was a golden key inside.

Mu Wan didn't wait any longer, walked to the cabinet, and used the key to open the lock.

There was a soft sound of "pop", and the key was opened in response, and the Hakka seemed to be alarmed by this soft sound, and even said "uh-huh" in his mouth, and his body also turned around, facing her direction and lying on his side.

Mu Wan's heart was pounding wildly, and her hands stopped moving, and she didn't even dare to breathe. After a while, it wasn't until Hakka's breathing returned to normal that she secretly called for luck, but fortunately the sound didn't wake her up.

Mu Wan gently opened the cabinet, and there were a lot of clothes hanging in it. She found a small drawer in the closet, and slowly opened it to see that there was a book in the drawer, which was obviously an account book.

took out the book, flipped through it by candlelight, and what was recorded on it was indeed the abnormal income and expenditure of the Citi Society, including the details of their bribes to officials in the palace, and at the end of the first page was written "In the second year of the Apocalypse, the eighteenth day of the lunar month, 30,000 yuan of silver and Xu Dahua of the Criminal Department", and then turned a few pages, which recorded the situation of giving gifts to the eunuchs. But Mu Wan immediately discovered that Xiong Sifei's gifts were not only given to the eunuchs, but even some courtiers with unknown party affiliations, such as Zhou Yanru and others, had also accepted his benefits.

Mu Wan put the account book box into her arms, then gently walked out of the room, closed the door, and turned to go downstairs.

Rounding the attic, I stepped down the long corridor again, heading towards the vestibule. Lin Chunwei was still eating wine in the front hall, and it was time to ask him to leave together.

The two doormen in front of the corridor saw her turn back and greeted her warmly. Mu Wan nodded and walked past them quickly. Seeing that he was about to step into the back door of the front hall, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him, saying, "Miss Mu, please stay." ”

Mu Wan was shocked in her heart, and when she looked back, she was the first person who was talking to her, so she forced her composure and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Ren, you have something to do with me?" ”

Ren Xing looked her up and down for a while, and said, "What are you doing in the lady's room?" ”

Mu Wan's heart shook, could it be that he found out about the situation of stealing books in the Hakka room? Then I thought about it, this possibility was very small, because I had been careful to keep an eye on her, and no one had noticed her sneaking into the attic. The only possibility is that he bumped into him when he went downstairs, and he was suspicious, so he asked.

So he said: "Brother Ren, what you said is good, I wanted to say goodbye to my wife and talk before leaving." But after knocking on Madame's door, Madame did not respond, presumably sleeping thickly, so she did not dare to disturb her, and planned to leave by herself. After a pause, he smiled, "What's wrong?" Brother Ren still wants to keep me for a few more drinks? ”

A strange glint flashed in Ren Xing's eyes, and he said, "The eldest lady wants to say goodbye to Madame, what's so difficult about this, I'll take you to see Madame." ”

Mu Wan shook her head and said, "No need, why bother Madame's good dreams?" I understand your kindness, don't give it away! Then he turned and walked away.

"No way!" Ren Xing stepped up with an arrow step, stopped in front of her, and said calmly, "Madame is the most affectionate, since the eldest lady is leaving, why do you have to talk to Madame, otherwise wouldn't it be too rude?" I believe that Madame will also be happy to say goodbye to the eldest lady. ”

Mu Wan was secretly shocked in her heart, this punishment was so difficult for herself, it was obvious that she was suspicious of her, and pretended to be displeased: "Brother Ren is so unreasonable, since Madame has already fallen asleep, how can she wake her up?" Don't mess around, Madame won't spare you if she knows. ”

Ren Xing said coldly: "You don't dare to see Madame, I'm afraid you did something sorry for her, right?" How can I let you go so easily! Then he turned his head and shouted at the two doormen, "You go and see if Madame is okay?" ”

The two doormen heard the order and hurriedly ran to the attic.
