Chapter 539: Catching a Mouse

After a few hectic days, everything was finally ready.

Thanks to the many people who helped, the whole process was always orderly.

And since he returned to the palace to say goodbye, Rong An has not seen Zhu Chengyi for almost ten days.

It is said that there are also a lot of things in the Yan'an Palace.

There are no elders in his house, so he has to make up his own affairs, and he is busy enough.

The emperor gave him some men, and he also asked for some help himself.

He had good connections in the past, and even though he had a lot of friends, there was no lack of people as capable as Kole.

In short, I heard Yu Tong say that the basic preparations in the palace have been completed.

The whole palace is in a new atmosphere, just waiting for the dowry and the princess to enter the palace.

And tomorrow is the day when the palace sends people to the general's mansion to see the dowry, and then send the dowry and make the marriage bed...... When it was over, the wedding began.

Therefore, all the dowries prepared by the General's Mansion today have to be moved to the front hall, draped in saffron threads, and waiting for the man to come to "inspect" tomorrow.

After a lot of work, everything finally fell into place.

After counting the dowry list again, Rong An felt like a tired old cow panting.

It's too much trouble to say that everything should be kept simple.

Of course, this full house of utensils is gratifying to look at. It's all hers.

In this life, I am really rich.

Even though night was falling and she was very tired, she could see this box of joyful and precious treasures, and she felt that she could sleep all night in this hall.

Touching it here, looking there, even Xiaohe couldn't wait patiently, and urged frequently, and Rong An ordered a few people to start locking it. When the man arrives tomorrow, they have to open the boxes one by one in front of people......

After putting a large string of heavy keys into the box and locking it again, the few people were ready to leave.

There are a few big locks outside the hall, which is reassuring.

But as soon as she walked to the backyard, because of the words of the newcomer Xia Ying, Rong An remembered something again, which made her have to turn back again.

Xia Ying is as his name suggests, and as soon as he speaks, he chatters endlessly. She mentioned her cousin's marriage, and talked about pressing the box money.

Her cousin's family is not rich, thinking that it is better to put less than 30% of the money, but the mother-in-law of the family is staring at the money when she looks at the dowry.

Not only did he open the box, but he also turned over the bottom and counted all the silver coins. Because of the small number, the two families actually had a lot of fighting. While asking for money, he didn't give it, and there was a lot of uproar, and the two families became a joke together, and they almost didn't even get married on the second day......

Rong An thought that something was wrong, and immediately turned back.

"Isn't that box heavy, girl? Don't worry about the lack of men. "Xia Ying is unknown.

“……”

Rong An is really not worried, she just puts a box of copper plates, who can say that she doesn't say a word? Does Zhu Chengyi still have the ability not to marry her?

The point is, she put too much!

Rong An always thought that the box where the money was put would not necessarily be opened, but she only heard that someone's mother-in-law would open the box in public for people to watch and support their faces. But who knows if there will be a guy who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement tomorrow? Who knows how many unobtrusive ones Zhu Chengyi invited? Who knows how long the box will be there?

In case someone else goes to count the amount in her money box like someone else's mother-in-law...... That's not going to be wonderful.

Her box was packed by herself.

She padded a layer of silver tickets at the bottom of the box, and all the yards on it were neat and uniform ingots of the same size. There are three layers of ingots, absolutely dazzling and good-looking, full of confidence.

In order to look good, she also spread the newly beaten gold and silver leaves, gold and silver fish and small flowers around the house.

But the key is that the third layer of ingots is not silver, but gold. It's full of gold ingots!

And the denominations of the silver tickets at the bottom are all over 100 taels.

That's why that box is worth a lot of money!

She was to blame for this. When she listened to Chang Rufei and their discussions, she knew that the day of the wedding would be extremely busy, several intimate girls were doing their jobs, and she didn't trust the new maid enough, she really didn't worry about her silver money and silver tickets, and finally simply decided to send all her ingots and most of the silver tickets to Yan'an Wangfu first.

To this end, she also arranged for tomorrow's pressure box money to be managed by the water chestnut herself.

Obviously, no, if you are faced with a room of gentlemen, you can only rely on a water chestnut, but I am afraid that it will not be able to stop.

Forget it, she still hurriedly put the money in the box again.

It's a big deal to have a silver ticket or something, and she carries it with her when she gets married.

wealth is not exposed, especially for her, a "good name" who has always cried about the poor......

Rong An left all the girls outside the courtyard, and motioned for the guards and guards to wait outside, and took the key alone and prepared to enter the hall.

However, before the key could be inserted into the lockhole, her movements stopped.

Listening with bated breath, she was sure she had heard correctly.

There was a creak inside.

There are rats in the hall.

It's not small.

She roughly judged the direction and came to the back window.

There was a window for her to climb.

At this moment, she once again felt wise that she had preferred to escape and sneak attack from the day she learned martial arts.

Although she didn't have much kung fu with her fists and feet, she was also the one who ran in front that day and made Ah Sheng and Ah Hu unable to take it for a while. At this time, I climbed the roof, and it was easy to climb without making a single movement.

The guards and girls were silenced by a boo from her when they saw her head emerging from the high roof.

After carefully pulling open a roof tile, Rong An found a shadow in the house in the moonlight.

Can she not notice?

The thin, sneaky, familiar guy was rummaging around.

It's not a small amount of courage!

The defense of the mansion is quite tight, and it obviously took a lot of effort for him to enter this pavilion like this! I'm afraid that it will be mixed in with the furniture in the morning!

However, most of the boxes were locked, and although this guy could find it, he couldn't go any further.

Rong Anqiang pressed a little upsurge of anger and the urge to overturn him, intending to see what this kid wanted, or what he was going to do.

He searched for the boxes one by one, and sure enough, sure enough, he finally focused all his attention on her money box.

Under the clear moonlight projection, Rong An can see clearly.

The guy held the box, pressed it to his ear, and shook the box.

The pleasant and crisp sound of gold and silver colliding came, and his big white teeth also flashed silver.

"With this, it's not in vain." The guy was still muttering.

Rong An grinded her teeth and watched him sit on the rosewood table where she was married, holding the cash box and fiddling with the lock......

Outrageous!

Outrageous!

What a coward, he really came for her money.

The stinky boy also pulled out a dagger, both poking and prying at the lock.

How easily can the lock be torn off? How can it be easily leveraged?

So Rong An saw that the blade was cut onto the box at once.

Rong An was so angry that his heart twitched.

In the end, she was going to use the cash box for a lifetime, and the pattern on it was painted by her own person, which condensed a lot of her hard work. It's useless at the moment, so I asked someone to poke the flowers, but can't you be angry?

She could only force herself to take one deep breath after another to calm down.

Poking and prying didn't work, and the guy took the knife and chiseled again.

It took a lot of effort, but the lock was still secure.

He was really unwilling, he pulled through the crack in the door and looked out several times, and after making sure that there was no one outside and the courtyard door was closed, he actually walked directly into the inner room with the cash box and smashed it on the ground.

The box is still intact.

The guy simply sat on the ground, took the dagger, and began to look for the cracks in the box, intending to pry it open little by little.

But as soon as the tip of his knife poked into the gap, it seemed to encounter an obstacle and could not go down again.

He felt that the tip of the knife must have touched the metal.

There's also a layer of metal inside!

After a few more pointless pokes, he suddenly understood.

This box is a set of boxes. The outer box is made of solid wood, and the inside is made of copper casting.

He was speechless......

How can he open such a box?

No wonder his dagger was bent and bent, but he still couldn't move the box in the slightest. Even if you open the outer box, what will happen to the inner layer?

Rong An also sneered.

Nonsense, since it was the box where she put the money, wouldn't she be a fool if someone could easily pry it open and open it?

Even the lock was not embedded in the wooden board, but was cast in its entirety with the copper inside the box. Without her copper key, it would be difficult to open unless the copper was conceived. At least with this guy, it can't be!

Hehe, this box cost her a lot of money, two hundred taels!

As it turned out, it was a good box!

Her brand-new treasure box was destroyed like this, and she wanted to get it back......

On the other side, the thief was so busy that he sweated a thin layer on his forehead, but there was still no progress, and he had to give up unpacking.

He will not let go of this box of money, he can't open it, just take it away, there is always a way to open it. After taking a look at the environment, he pulled over a piece of red cloth covering the cabinet on the side, packed the box inside, wrapped up a bag, and put it by the door......

Rong An tsk, I have to go and return by myself, otherwise how can I see such a good show.

In fact, this guy didn't have the possibility of implementing this one in the first place.

This room is worth a lot of money, so there is a team of guards arranged near this antechamber, all of whom have martial arts. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't plan to reveal his wealth just now and withdrew the guards outside the courtyard, as long as this guy in the house dared to show his head and dare to make a move, he would be discovered as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is destined that this kid will not be able to do anything, and it is impossible for him to escape!

Hehe, Rong An was happy when he saw him. After all, he doesn't cause any damage to himself except for being a little annoying.

Opposite......

originally thought that he would leave just like that, but Rongan still underestimated this person's bad intentions.

After the burden was laid, he was not in a hurry to go out.

It's a sinister smile on the face.

He knocked on the center of the room, the chests that were clearly the most valuable, full of imperial gifts, and seemed to have determined the target. He rolled up his sleeves again and pushed all the boxes in the middle and stacked them, trying to squeeze them in the center.

The sinister smile on his face grew deeper.

After that, he tore off the largest red cloth on the tall table, and tore off the original large tablecloths in the hall, and the saffron red cloth and curtains hanging on the beams in the middle of the hall, and finally threw the pile of fabrics on top of the chest.

Then, he took out a bottle from the placket.

The cap opened, and he smiled from ear to ear as he began to throw the liquid over the flammable fabric.

The thick smell of oil came out.

In just a few strokes, a bottle of oil was emptied.

At this point, his purpose is obvious.

Stealing, by the way, setting fires.

As soon as the fire comes together, the wood underneath the cloth will soon ignite. At that time, even if these things are locked, they may not be able to be preserved intact.

This is a long preparation.

He's going to burn the dowry.

Even if it can't be burned, it will be a bad revenge.

Of course, with this fire, it is convenient for him to escape.

He took another thing from his waist, what is it if it is not a fire fold?

He blew lightly, and the fire fold lit up, reflecting his hideous face.

He blew again, and at the same time as the sparks splashed, small flames also rose.

He grabbed a piece of cloth and used it as a primer, and set it on fire at once.

A fire spread across the red cloth, making his crooked, misshapen fingers especially ugly.

He smiled wider.

The red cloth on his hand was already burning in the blink of an eye. He was about to throw the red cloth down and make it all crazy, but his hand shook.

He was almost dazzled, and the light of the fire in his hand made him see the face that made him hateful and terrified.

"Rongying, long time no see."

Then, Rong Ying's wrist was in sharp pain.

When he was stunned, the ball of fire was knocked on him, and his body was kicked in the chest by Rong An.

Rong Ying retreated, and was about to fight back, but was restrained by two guards who fell from the sky.

His crippled hand was trampled on the sole of his foot by a guard......

Rong An came in through the back door.

When Rong Ying was busy smashing the box, Rong An made a gesture, and the two guards took the key from the girl, and under the cover of Rong Ying's smashing sound, they opened the back door softly.

When several people entered the hall, Rong Ying was busy gathering the boxes and didn't notice it at all......

"Yu Rongan, you play with me again! You poisonous woman! You're a femme fatale! ”

Rong Ying instantly returned to the familiar domineering appearance of the past, opening her teeth and dancing her claws, spitting and flying, just eager to pounce and tear Rong An apart.

It's a pity that he has been tied up in a blink of an eye, and he can't move at all.

Rong An was lazy to pay attention to Rong Ying, recruited a guard to the side, asked him to rush to Liao's house as quickly as possible, slammed open the door of Liao's house with the greatest momentum, and ordered the old lady of Liao's family to come over, "Just tell her that I caught a mouse and ask her to come and take a look." repeatedly emphasized to her that it was 'me' and 'Yu Rongan' who caught it. It's not the Yu family, it's me! ”

Ordinary people don't understand this, but the old lady can certainly understand it.

"Girl, do you want to clean up?" Several girls were very annoyed, and after only such a short period of effort, the originally orderly hall was already a mess.

"There's no hurry." Keep it, maybe it will be useful later.

Xiaohe hugged the beautiful money box, her face was full of distress, and she gritted her teeth at Rongying.

"Girl, look at this box." The originally delicate box was knocked and poked many times, and at the moment it was "scarred".

"Well, let's put it there for now."

Rong An doesn't care. Since she was going to put less money, the box was a little bigger.

On the way over, she thought about it, so she simply changed it to a smaller one, which formed a contrast with the glory given by the emperor, and maybe she could better shape her image.

And although this box has been scratched out of a mess, but the damage is only the outer wood, anyway, the copper body inside is fine, she can customize an outer box later.

In addition, she also reflected on it just now, and Rong Ying was able to find this cash box at once, which showed that it was still too eye-catching and high-profile. When she is customized next time, she will make it mediocre, without any patterns, preferably half-old, and the kind that thieves don't bother to take a look at when they are sent to the thief.

So if it's broken, it's broken. Anyway, the account is written down.
