I came to the bookshelf again and looked carefully at the bookshelf standing by the wall.

She carefully flipped through the books on the bookshelf before, and did not carry the letter with it.

Yu Niang held the night pearl in one hand, and walked back and forth in front of the bookshelf with her chin in one hand. I searched back and forth in the study no less than five times, but she didn't find what she was looking for.

Something was wrong and unreasonable, shouldn't all normally important letters be hidden in the study, and why didn't she find them?

Is there anything else she didn't pay attention to?" Yu Niang looked up in the study. Finally, I realized that something was wrong.

Why are the two bookshelves standing by the wall so much different? The bigger one is almost twice as big as the other.

And there are only a few books on the shelves in this middle part, and they are all the kind of books that are not very important and very thick.

Yu Niang came to the middle of the bookshelf and groped back and forth behind the bookshelf. Finally found a raised switch at the back of one of the books.

Yu Niang pressed lightly with her hand, and the bookshelf that was originally against the wall moved to the side, and the large bookcase instantly turned into two, revealing a one-person-wide passage in the middle.

Yu Niang raised the night pearl in her hand above her head and bent down into the passage. It was very dark in the passage, and even if Yu Niang was holding the Night Pearl, she could only see two steps away.

When Yu Niang walked into the passage, the bookshelf mechanism behind it automatically closed.

Yu Niang was startled, hurriedly turned around to check, and was relieved to find that there was a mechanism in the corner of the wall that could be opened.

Walking along the passage, I found that the passage was not long, and it was estimated that it was dug by the surnamed Liang after he moved in, and it didn't take long to come to the end.

Yu Niang held up the Night Pearl and saw that this was a basement where things were stored, and there was nothing in it except two boxes.

Yu Niang stepped forward to open one of the boxes, and saw that it was all silver, as well as three account books, many of which had no names.

I took out the top one and opened it to see that it was a letter that had not been sent and was addressed to an official surnamed Li.

This official surnamed Li is estimated to be higher than him, and the letter uses honorifics.

Yu Niang read the letter and knew that the surname Li and he were originally Ao Bai's subordinates, but the official positions of the two were not high, and Ao Bai only knew that there were such two people, but he didn't attach importance to the two.

So these two people served in the original place for many years, until Ao Bai was arrested this year, implicating many people.

Many official positions were vacated in the court, and the emperor transferred the local government with better political performance to the capital.

In his previous life, the credit of Lord Liang was robbed by others. This time, after he was arrested in Aobai, he fell into the well and told him about the things that Shangfeng had handed over to him one by one.

betrayed his boss and Aobai, and his political performance in Xuzhou was also good, plus he was active in Beijing in advance, so he was naturally transferred to the capital.

Yu Niang read these letters one by one, picked out some useful account books as incriminating evidence, and handed them in to convict him at that time. She didn't move the two silver boxes, keeping them as evidence.

Wrap the books and letters in a blue cloth and place them in a separate place in the space so that you don't make a mistake when you take them.

After finding the incriminating evidence, Yu Niang left the passage and returned to the study to restore the bookshelves.

He left through the window and returned to his lodgings. The maids in the room were all sleeping, and no one knew that Yu Niang had gone out.

After getting the incriminating evidence, Yu Niang didn't want to stay in the Liang Mansion anymore, and she was worried that handing over the incriminating evidence would affect the black girl.

So he gently woke up the black girl sleeping next to him and said, "Black girl, black girl wake up!

The black girl who was sleeping next to her was woken up by Yu Niang, and opened her eyes in a daze and said to Yu Niang: "Yu Niang, what are you doing! Why don't you sleep so late?"

"Don't sleep yet, I have something to say to you. After dawn, you can go to the housekeeper to redeem yourself!" Yu Niang whispered in the black girl's ear.

"Why do you want to redeem yourself? Besides, I don't have any money to redeem myself. The brunette shook her head and said.

"Listen to me, you must redeem yourself, I have the money. ”

Yu Niang pretended to take out a fifty taels of silver ticket from her purse and handed it to the black girl and said, "This is a fifty taels of silver ticket, take it to redeem yourself first, and you can keep the rest first." ”

When the black girl heard that it was fifty taels of silver, she hurriedly sat up from the quilt and said in surprise: "Fifty taels?

"This is what I saved before, you can use it first. When will you have the money back to me?"

"It's too much, I can't ask for it. Besides, if you do a good job here, why should you redeem yourself? My family is very poor, and if I redeem my body, I will still be sold. ”

"This ...... Why don't you come to my house, so that your family won't sell it again." ”

"Your family, if your family is good, why do you want to sell yourself as a maid?"

"Uh...... You leave that alone. In short, you have to redeem yourself with a silver ticket, and when you go out, I will tell you the reason.

Fifty taels should be enough for you to redeem yourself, and if there is any leftover, you can use it first. ”

When the black girl saw that Yu Niang was resolute, she no longer refutated, and it was naturally better than the current person to redeem herself. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the front yard to redeem myself as soon as it's dawn." ”

Yu Niang nodded and said, "Well, you put away the silver ticket first."

After redemption, you first find a place to live, if you have nowhere to go, you go to No. 6 Yulan Lane to find the grandmother surnamed Xu and ask her to take you in. Then she said that I asked you to come to her. ”

The black girl put the silver ticket away in confusion, and she couldn't sleep when she was so frightened by Yu Niang. Just get up and go to the well to fetch water.

Yu Niang didn't care about her, and sat on the bed alone thinking about what to do with these letters and account books.

These are important pieces of incriminating evidence, and you can't hand them over casually, otherwise you will harm yourself.

Yu Niang, who was sitting on the bed and thinking about it, heard the sound of someone getting up. After a while, the lights came on in the room.

Seeing Yu Niang sitting on the bed, she was startled, and the girl who lit the lamp yelled at Yu Niang angrily: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, I sit here and pretend to be a ghost! ”

The girl's cry alarmed the other maids, and they came out of the bed and asked, "What's the matter?"

The girl said, "Hmph! Someone who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night sits at the head of the bed and looks at us. I don't know what I want to do?

I see, the sisters got up and checked their belongings, lest they lose anything important. ”

Yu Niang listened to her words and was dissatisfied. Originally, I felt that I owed them a debt, but now I feel that they are the same as the masters in this house, and there are really what kind of masters there are.

The other maids listened to the girl's words and got up to check their things. After a period of noise, they found that they had not lost anything, and everyone was relieved.

Yu Niang ignored them and walked out of the room to prepare for leaving the Liang Mansion.

First of all, I had to go to Steward Zhang to get back the other two signed contracts.

But it's a little late today, so I'll get it back in the evening. I don't know if it's still in the hands of Steward Zhang?

Leaving the room, Yu Niang went to the well to fetch water to wash, and saw that the wooden basin that the black girl brought to wash her face was placed on the ground, and people didn't know where to run?

Yu Niang stepped forward to fetch some water and put it in the basin, and took out her handkerchief to wash her face. After washing her face and waiting for the black girl in the same place, Yu Niang estimated that the black girl went to the front yard to find a steward to redeem herself.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the black girl to come back with a jump.
