Chapter 24: The Former Enemy

Yu Niang took out a tael of silver and handed it to the old man and said, "Thank you, uncle, for telling me these things, this silver will give you some wine to moisten your throat." ”

"I can't do it, I can't do it. The old man pushed back again and again, and finally he couldn't accept the money.

The old man wanted to keep Yu Niang for dinner, but Yu Niang left on the pretext of having something.

Yu Niang left the old man's house and returned to the Fulai Inn in the city, and took out all the silver on her body. Count it, and there are only more than five hundred taels left.

If she spends the money alone, she will definitely be able to use it for a while.

But today I heard the old man say: The family wants to sell the house, and Yu Niang wants to buy it.

But no matter how cheap the house in the capital is, it will cost more than 2,000 taels, and only 500 taels on your body is definitely not enough. It seems that there is a way to earn some money back.

But Yu Niang doesn't want to use medicinal materials to exchange for silver anymore, and this rare medicinal material can't appear on the market frequently.

Otherwise, it will disrupt the market and cause trouble for the government to track down.

Yu Niang looked at the silver tickets on the table and worried, where can I get some silver? Do I really want to be a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor? Besides, I am not a poor person.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of any good way. If you really can't do it, you can only rob corrupt officials.

Yu Niang ate at the inn, and then came to a teahouse, I heard that the news here is the most well-informed, maybe I can ask something?

I just found a good spot to do it, and I'm ready to order a pot of tea to drink. Someone came across the street and said, "Don't mind putting together a table!"

Yu Niang looked up and saw that it was actually the nursing home next to the third young master Huang, and it was also the young man surnamed Li who had helped her.

Yu Niang shook her head and said, "Of course I don't mind." Li Shaoxia, please sit down, what kind of tea do you want to drink? ”

He smiled at her, called Xiao Er and said, "A pot of Longjing before the rain, two dishes of side dishes." ”

Xiao Er answered, and soon there was a call with a singing voice in his ears: "The second table in the front row, a pot of Longjing before the rain, and two hors d'oeuvres." ”

After Xiao Er left, Yu Niang listened to the voices of the people around her, and wanted to find out some useful news for herself. He sat across from her and looked at her without speaking.

After a while, Xiao Er brought tea and side dishes. He poured a cup of tea for Yu Niang, broke the silence and said, "Young Master Liu, why are you here?

After Yu Niang thanked her, she took a sip of tea and said, "Not yet." Why is Li Gongzi here? You don't have to be by your third young master's side?"

"I'm not the only one with the guards around the third young master, and today it's my turn to rest, and when I saw you at the door, I followed in. Li Hengyao said with a smile.

The two sat in the teahouse for an afternoon, drank two pots of tea, listened to a commentary, and then left.

Yu Niang left the teahouse and did not go back to the inn, but walked towards the south of the city, where there lived many officials of the fourth or fifth grades, and Yu Niang planned to start from these people.

Yu Niang knew in her heart that only these people were easy to start, and they didn't dare to say anything if they lost some silver, after all, these silver can't see the light, and if they are lost, they can only be found secretly.

If it is those high-ranking officials, it is estimated that there is not much cash at home, and there may be a lot of jewelry and ancient paintings, but these are not suitable for Yu Niang's current situation. Therefore, the officials of the fourth and fifth grades are just right.

Coming to the streets south of the city, Yu Niang was carefully observing the layout of these houses, so as not to accidentally get lost when she came at night.

Suddenly, I found that there was a figure in front of me that was more familiar, and when I walked in, I saw that this was her enemy in her previous life.

In his previous life, he was arrested by him, and he never left the mansion until he died.

It's just that he wasn't in Xu Zhou in his previous life? How is he in the capital now? What the hell is going on?

Yu Niang quietly followed behind the enemy, watching him walk into a courtyard, and after he entered the courtyard, Yu Niang flew up to the courtyard wall.

Seeing that there were guards patrolling back and forth in the courtyard, Yu Niang hurriedly hid in a hidden place to avoid the patrolling guards.

After the guards left, Yu Niang walked in the direction where the enemy had gone, and watched him enter one of the rooms.

Yu Niang looked left and right, used light skills to quickly cross the garden, came to the room where the enemy was, and quietly hid on the beam outside, slowing down her breathing so as not to alarm the people below.

I put my ear to the wall and listened to what was being said inside? But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement inside. Now, Yu Niang is strange?

Is he alone in this room? So, is this mansion his?

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. Still, someone from outside came over.

It's a young woman, she said she was a maid, she didn't look like she was walking, she should be a Han woman with small feet, and she was carrying a food box, thinking that she was the aunt in this house.

Yu Niang saw her knock on the door and said to the people inside, "Master, open the door! ”

The goosebumps of the jade lady who heard the voice were about to rise, but the people inside enjoyed listening to it, only to hear the man's laughter from the room.

Then, Yu Niang saw the door open from the inside.

The woman who was originally carrying the food box was dragged into the room by the man, and the woman let out an exclamation of laughter.

Then, Yu Niang heard the woman inside say: "Master, wait a minute, wait for the slave family to put down the food box and come back, okay?"

"Okay, okay, my dear baby, hurry up and put that thing in the way, I can't wait, master. ”

Hearing this, Yu Niang left. She had determined that this was the enemy's current mansion.

She didn't know what was the reason why the people who were originally in Xuzhou appeared in the capital? There must be a reason that she didn't know.

Yu Niang decided to come back at night to check, the room just now should be the study.

And the dog official actually messed around with the concubine in the study, and he wouldn't be a clean official. Even if the identity of the enemy is put aside, an official like him stealing his silver can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor.

In the evening, in the dead of night. Yu Niang jumped out of the inn and arrived at the enemy's mansion on South Street.

At this time, it was pitch black all around. Only a few torches danced in the distance, presumably guards patrolling with torches.

Yu Niang walked in the shadows, bypassing the patrol guards to the study where she had been during the day.

Yu Niang did not go to the door, but walked around the room outside, and found that this study had two windows, and the one in front of it was shorter and could not be locked and pushed.

Yu Niang had to come to the back window, this window was higher than the ground, Yu Niang flew up and pushed it, found that it could be pushed open, and hurriedly supported the window with a sword, and climbed in sideways.

When she came to the room, Yu Niang carefully observed it before landing.

There is a lot of space in the study, there are two rows of bookshelves that take up a lot of space, and there is a desk, a screen not far away, and a low couch at the back.

Yu Niang first came to the desk, rummaged through the table carefully, found nothing useful, and knocked around the table, but found nothing unusual.

I checked the bookshelf again and found that there was nothing else except books, but what made Yu Niang strange was that this bookshelf was one big and one small.

The book on it, Yu Niang also took it down and looked at it, and found no problem.

Then Yu Niang went to the low couch behind the screen to take a look, except for a thin quilt on it, there was nothing else.

Yu Niang didn't give up and searched again, but she still didn't find a place where she could hide silver, or a dark pavilion.
