It was already completely dark, and in a mansion, the entire courtyard seemed quiet.

Wei Ming, the head of the household, was a little anxious at the moment.

He paced back and forth in his study, uneasiness creeping in.

If God really had regret medicine, he would definitely take it without hesitation.

"Hey, I wouldn't have been so greedy if I knew I wouldn't have been."

He didn't have any greed at first.

However, when the bright 100,000 taels of gold were placed in front of him, he knew that it was a full 100,000 taels of gold, and as long as he waved his hand, he would have it at his fingertips.

He is fallen!

Yes, he fell. Greed is infinitely magnified.

Usually he is also greedy for ink, but he can have the opportunity to be greedy for such a large sum of money. Or for the first time!

Maybe there won't be such an opportunity again.

And the risk is minimal. After all, there is Luo Hai on the outside, and there are three princes on the inside to help hide it.

However, he didn't dare to take away all the gold, so he quietly intercepted a part of it, that is, the 20,000 taels that disappeared.

As an indispensable member of the Three Princes' faction, he has won the trust of the Three Princes. Otherwise, the third prince would not have entrusted him with this task.

Although he is greedy, he is not a brainless person. He thought about the causes and consequences of this incident.

Afterwards, the third prince may scold himself, but he will not punish him too much.

Then, the 20,000 taels of gold, the third prince will definitely give it to himself.

Grace and power are all the same!

So he was confident that it wouldn't have any effect on him in this matter.

However, he never expected that Emperor Chu would let the nocturnal traveler handle the case.

The shadow of the famous tree of people, the charm of the ghost, the night walk of a hundred ghosts. This is no joke.

Are there still fewer officials who die at the hands of the night walkers?

There are definitely those who rebel, those who are guilty and those who deserve it.

But are there still fewer who have been wronged? As far as he knows, there are quite a few of them.

is like the tragedy of the Wang family in Liangjun five years ago.

But in the end, it's not over.

Whoever dares to continue to investigate, I am afraid that offending the night walk is not death.

Now it was his turn, Wei Ming panicked.

is not only afraid of the night walk, but he is also afraid that the three princes will kill people and kill their mouths.

Thinking of the evidence that had been kept over the years, his heart was slightly reassured.

There are those things, and he and the third prince are still in the same boat. If the third prince wants to turn his face with him, he must also be evaluated.

But obviously it is not a last resort, and he doesn't want to fall out with the third prince. After all, if he did that, he would be the one who was unlucky in the end.

Wei Ming couldn't stop wandering, a little frightened. On the side of the three princes, what do the three princes think?

Just as he was thinking, a carrier pigeon flew to the window.

Looking at the letterhead on the carrier pigeon, he was a little bumpy, are the three princes ready to give up on themselves.

Wei Ming took a deep breath, his hand trembled slightly, and opened the letterhead.

After reading it, he took a deep breath and calmed down his nervousness.

At this moment, he had a smile on his face and brushed his beard with his hand.

The third prince did not give up on him, although the letter accused him of moving the 20,000 taels of gold.

But more than that, he told him to hide the gold so that it wouldn't be discovered by the night walkers.

At the end of the letter, he said that after the incident, the 20,000 taels of gold would belong to him. But not as an example.

At this moment, Wei Ming suddenly brightened, sure enough, my guesses were all right, now I just need to spend a period of time in peace, the limelight is over, and the 20,000 taels of gold are his.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, it was a proper 20,000 taels of gold.

As for the gold being found by nocturnal walkers? How is this possible!

No matter how powerful the night walk is, even if it is to give them another hundred years. They would never have imagined where the gold was hidden.

He's still safe now, and as long as he's been cautious lately, he'll be fine.

Wei Ming carefully folded the letterhead, as for what the letter said, burn it immediately after reading it, obviously he would not do this.

This is the capital of his life, how can it be burned.

Then close all the doors and windows of the room and lock them.

Looking around, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he felt a lot more relieved.

No, he didn't notice that a piece of rubble had been taken from the roof of the study. Someone observed the situation in the study through the cracks, this was the dead soldier arranged by the military advisor, the dead man was dressed in black and masked, watching Wei Ming's every move.

He remembered his mission, if Wei Ming burned the letterhead, he could leave directly.

If not, he'll have something to do next.

In the study, Wei Ming walked over to an ordinary-looking vase, grabbed the vase and turned it around.

With the sound of "click", a dark grid was revealed on the wall not far from the vase, which was only half a cubic meter in size.

There weren't many things inside, except for a stack of silver tickets, a closed wooden box, and the rest were some epistolary ledgers and the like.

Wei Ming carefully put the letterhead just now together with the existing letter.

Then he looked at the box quietly, and at this moment he had a hesitant look on his face.

Reaching out and taking out the wooden box, Wei Ming was in a somewhat complicated mood.

Should this thing stay or not? Staying has a fatal impact on himself, but staying has the advantage of staying, in case one day the third prince is dissatisfied with himself, he can rely on this to save his life.

"That's it!"

Sighing, he decided to stay anyway. It is better to ask for others than for yourself, and the things that save your life are naturally in your own hands.

He put the box back in its place, walked over to the vase, and turned around a few more times, and the dark grid disappeared. The original walls were restored.

Then Wei Ming walked out of the study and locked the door.

The dead man on the roof saw Wei Ming's every move clearly. In the end, Wei Ming chose to hide it privately.

The dead man jumped off the roof and walked to the door of the study, looking at the locked door, frowning a little, he was not good at picking locks, but he still learned this skill.

The dead man felt sweat begin to break down on his forehead. He needs to observe his surroundings and open the lock without breaking it.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the lock opened.

Walking into the study, he opened the dark grid according to Wei Ming's technique.

Take away all the letters and accounts of the dark grid, and replace them with those he has prepared. Then it is placed in its original position.

Noticing the wooden box in the dark grid, he opened it.

"Gold?"

The dead man frowned, it's just a piece of gold, as for hiding it?

Closing the wooden box and putting it back in its place, he ignored it.

Feeling that everything was in order, the Dead Man restored everything to its original state and disappeared into the night.

Not long after, another dark shadow entered the house, opened the dark grid, and also looked at it.

He took some letterheads, then opened the wooden box, and saw that the contents were nothing but gold. I don't really care either.

After some searching, the object was returned to its original place, and then disappeared into the night.

PS: Who is the last yellow finch? As you can guess, it's absolutely unexpected.

The princess of the four princes
