Chapter 121: Burning Hu Mansion
Governor Jiang shook his head weakly, but after a pause, he added:
"At the moment, I have no way at all, Mrs. Shen has always been shrewd and safe, since she concealed her identity and entered the Hu Mansion, I think she found some opportunity, I want to believe Mrs. Shen, wait for a while."
Over there, Shen Yueying entered the Hu Mansion, and Hu Ziye also cooperated with Shen Yueying, arranging a room for Shen Yueying, so that the people could entertain her.
When she first arrived at Hu Mansion, Shen Yueying was not in a hurry to find something, but when she was quietly sewing clothes, she took the opportunity to talk to the maids.
Because Shen Yueying treats people politely, she will guide the maids to embroider when she has nothing to do, and the maids in Hufu are also happy to chat with Shen Yueying, anyway, what Shen Yueying asked is not a secret.
After staying in the Hu Mansion for a few days and figuring out the route of the Hu Mansion, Shen Yueying quietly changed into the clothes of the maid in the house.
This dress belonged to a maid in the house, and the maid's clothes were torn, and Shen Yueying deliberately asked for it, saying that she would mend her clothes.
Shen Yueying's embroiderers and maids all looked at it again, and happily gave the clothes to Shen Yueying, Shen Yueying did mend the clothes, but she had to wear them first.
Shen Yueying first pushed the door of the room open a crack, and found that there was no one outside the door of the room through the gap, so she pushed the door out.
The moon was covered by dark clouds, and even the stars were dim, which showed that even God helped Shen Yueying.
Shen Yueying relied on the route in her memory, lowered her head, and quickly walked towards the warehouse, not far from the warehouse, Shen Yueying hid behind a green plant, and saw two guards standing at the door of the warehouse from a distance.
After Shen Yueying saw it, she took out the embroidery needle that she had prepared early in the morning in a hurry, and used her own ability, and the flying needle stabbed the guard's neck with a flick, and the two guards only felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
There was no sound at all in this process, and it didn't alarm the other guards, Shen Yueying would secretly hide in the green plant where she was hiding these few nights, and calculated in her heart the time for the warehouse guards to change duty, as long as she found what she wanted within half an hour, she would not be discovered.
Shen Yueying checked the surroundings and didn't see anything else, so Shen Yueying came out of the green plants where she was hiding, moved the fainted guard aside, and then opened the door of the study and quietly entered.
The warehouse of Hu's mansion was very clean, and the classification was also very good, Shen Yueying effortlessly found the gift that Lord Hu was about to give to Lord Ding, in addition to the corresponding gift list, what surprised Shen Yueying even more was that there was also a thank you letter to Lord Ding in the list of gifts.
Shen Yueying was overjoyed in her heart, originally she was worried that just a list of gifts would not be able to confirm the matter of Hu Zhifu's bribery of Lord Ding, but she didn't expect Hu Zhifu to be so careless that he would put the gift list and the thank you letter together.
Shen Yueying hid the list of letters and gifts in her arms and put them away, in order not to let people find out that the gift list and letters were lost, Shen Yueying directly burned this box of gifts with a horizontal heart.
Shen Yueying, who lit the gift box, quickly left the warehouse, and then went back to his room quietly.
As soon as the fire broke out, the people patrolling the house hurriedly shouted: "Go water, go water." ”
When the subordinates of Hufu heard the sound, they all woke up, put on their clothes haphazardly, and were busy fighting the fire, and even the Hu prefect was alarmed by the sound.
Shen Yueying's place of residence was far away from the fire, but the panicked voices of the people could still be heard clearly, Shen Yueying changed her clothes and pretended not to know about the situation.
Shen Yueying, who was thinking that she was going to do enough play, stopped a subordinate and asked, "What's going on in the middle of the night, why are everyone in a hurry, is there something big going on in the house?" ”
"I heard that there is a fire in the warehouse, you let go quickly, I am still in a hurry to put out the fire." Jia Ding said impatiently.
Shen Yueying made a pretense and went back to the house, and it didn't take long for the government soldiers to come to the door for interrogation, after Shen Yueying opened the door, the government soldiers asked: "There are thieves who signed in to the house and set fire, what suspicious people have you seen?" ”
Shen Yueying said with a frightened face: "Thief? What thief? I've been embroidering clothes in the room, I haven't seen anything, I'm just an embroiderer, this thief shouldn't hurt me. ”
Shen Yueying pretended to be weak and dragged the government soldiers for a long time, and the government soldiers left impatiently, not suspecting that Shen Yueying would be a fireproof person at all
Lord Hu was also awakened, and slowly pacified the concubine, and then put on his clothes and commanded the soldiers to look for thieves everywhere, but every corner of Hu Mansion was rummaged through and no thieves were found.
The two guards guarding the treasury didn't remember anything at all after they woke up, and Governor Hu's angry face was like the bottom of a pot, and he scolded the two of them for being wasteful.
Shen Yueying burned most of the gifts prepared by the Hu Governor's Mansion for Lord Ding with a fire, although the soldiers of the Hu Governor's Mansion urgently extinguished the fire, but the rest of the gifts were all scorched and blackened, and even other things in the warehouse were affected.
Hu Zhifu's face was bruised, but when he calmed down, he couldn't understand that this thief broke into his mansion in the middle of the night, knocked out the guards, but didn't ask for money, but just set a fire.
Hu Zhifu thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he could only give up, just thinking that he had offended someone and was retaliated against.
It's just that the gifts prepared by Governor Hu for Lord Ding have been burned, and they are going to be prepared again, Governor Hu is very attentive to Lord Ding, all the gifts are valuable things, and this burns away the inevitable pain of Governor Hu's flesh.
After Shen Yueying patiently finished the clothes for Hu Ziye in the room, she put away the list of gifts and thank you letters written by Hu Zhifu to Lord Ding, and temporarily left Hu Mansion on the grounds of buying cloth without changing her face.
Shen Yueying went to the governor's mansion with the evidence as soon as possible to find Governor Jiang, hoping that Governor Jiang could take action to sanction Hu Ziye and Lord Ding.
Governor Jiang looked at the list of gifts in his hand and Hu Ziye's letter of thanks, his face became more and more gloomy, and he slapped his palm on the desk, and Shen Yueying's ears buzzed.
"Bastard thing, the person surnamed Ding really dares to treat the court law as nothing for the sake of some wealth, and his surname Ding is not afraid of burning his hands with this money!"
Governor Jiang was furious.
Shen Yueying hurriedly asked, "Lord Jiang, now that the evidence is conclusive, will you be able to bring Examiner Ding and Governor Hu to justice?" ”
Governor Jiang rubbed his somewhat sore palms and said, "This matter is a bit difficult to handle, and it needs to be considered in the long run. ”
"Although this Hu Governor's Mansion is not a thing, if you want to move him down directly, you need the help of several other examiners, otherwise it is easy to be labeled as a colleague with just one official, a letter and a gift list."
"As long as the examiner surnamed Hu and Examiner Ding bite to death and don't admit it, the official will have nothing to do."
