The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

Qiwu watched the two of them spitting and gesticulating as they talked excitedly, their shadows on the wall stretched out very long.

The shadow climbed up the lantern, and as the lantern swayed, the whole yard was filled with shadows.

The two men were still chatting.

"Master, these things are nothing new. You also know that there are sixteen concubines now, and they all came into the mansion in recent years. Have you ever thought about how there are still sixteen after so many years, with new ones constantly coming in? Where did the previous ones go? Oh, I can't think about it too much." He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and exhaled.

Another person stretched his neck and said, "Let me tell you something you don't know. Do you know why the second master married the daughter of a minor official as his concubine?"

"Because the Second Master is inhumane and the daughter of the young official is easy to control, I know all this. I also know that the Second Master's backyard is full of people who have slept with his third son, and no one dares to speak out."

"The second master is inhumane. Where do you think he got all those children?"

"Then we have to ask the deceased Second Madam. However, this Third Young Master is really a freak. Although the young masters of the First and Second Houses of the mansion are all selling official positions for the Second Master, he is the only one who openly opens a bet on the flower boat. Whoever wins him can get a small official position and even be given a flower name, the Minister of Flower Boat, in charge of the appointment of officials on the flower boat."

"There is also the kind-looking lady. The grain store under her control took the lead in raising grain prices during the famine in the first half of this year. She merged many people's fields. She took out the sprouted and rotten grains to make porridge, and she gained a good reputation for being kind and generous."

"The managers in the mansion have all made a lot of money, and every family has built a new house. I just regret that I don't have the ability to make some money with them."

"We can't make money from this, but there are many people who sell their children. I bought a pair of girls at that time, and now they are very pretty."

As the candlelight flickered, shadows of people and trees intertwined, just like demons and monsters in the dark, about to crawl out of the darkness and devour the entire mansion.

Qi Wu shuddered. This place that eats human flesh and blood should really disappear. Unfortunately, she didn't have the ability to make it disappear for the time being.

However, she could empty the savings of several generations in the mansion, making them panic and worried, wondering all day long who the enemy was in the dark.

Without wasting any more time, I used the gold-etching talisman provided by Tutu, carefully tore it open with my fingernails and aligned it with the keyhole. With a light pull, the lock opened.

Looking back, I saw that the two people didn't notice it and the illusion array was working properly.

Gently open the door, gently close it, and hang the bead-sized illusion array on the door with a rope to maintain the camouflage effect.

Qiwu quietly put out three boxes of cheap beads.

First, use the system to scan and put the worthless or unsaleable things like ivory, coral, giant clam, tortoise shell, etc. from Tutu into the storage ring. When the storage ring is full, take a picture of the wooden house on Tutu's shelf, and use the system to control the antiques, paintings and calligraphy with cultural heritage, and a large amount of gold and silver into the wooden house, and then return the wooden house to Tutu for temporary storage.

Then the system scanned and uploaded all the remaining jewelry within the range. Tutu had accumulated a lot of points, enough to buy them.

As for the rest that cannot be uploaded directly, Qiwu does not intend to leave a single hair for the tribe.

Using the system control, one bead string tied to one piece of furniture, quickly cleared out the large items, and the remaining large items, incense burners, cloth, spices, furs, ordinary calligraphy and painting boxes, etc. were also hung on the lock, and a large area was uploaded,

The big warehouse was cleared out in just a stick of incense.

There are two more boxes of beads for tying things.

Qiwu used the system to control the dust and cleared away her own footprints and box marks.

There didn't seem to be many good things in the big warehouse, so Qiwu prepared to go to another yard.

Close the door. It's not easy to see that the lock is broken from the outside, after all, there is only a small hole in the lock. In fact, there is no need to worry about this. The two people guarding the warehouse are already drunk and talking nonsense.

Tutu took pictures of the things directly. The five floors of the storage building were not enough.

Tutu also selected a five-story building in the town to store these new things.

Qiwu sat in an optically invisible hovercraft and searched in the sky little by little. She would go to see the house with a guard at the door.

As expected, I found a lot of people's small warehouses.

This big house in the clan is where the clan leader's branch lives. It covers a very large area, like a small town.

There were only 12 real masters in the clan, including the clan leader and his wife, his five sons, and their daughters, all of whom were married. There were also five people from the clan leader's second brother's family.

After searching the warehouses one by one, I felt that there was not as much money as I had imagined.

Qiwu was a little puzzled. After so many years of plundering, this amount of wealth was only equivalent to that of an ordinary rich person. It seemed unlikely.

Qiwu asked Tutu if there was any solution. Tutu contacted Beth and suggested getting a metal detector, or recording the data of jewelry to detect jewelry. Tutu thought it was a good idea and asked him to quickly modify one and install it on the flying skateboard.

Bette was very efficient and completed the modification in a short time.

Tutu asked Qiwu if he wanted a flying skateboard. If not, Tutu would take apart the metal detector and send it to him separately. Qiwu thought about it and asked her to send it over together. She wanted to try if she could stand on the skateboard and use the illusion array to conceal her body.

She first left the mansion and found a place to set up a full-length mirror.

Standing on the flying skateboard, using the magic array to cover the body,

Change various postures and look from all angles without any loopholes.

Only then did he feel relieved to return to the mansion, hide his body, and ride on his skateboard.

Re-exploring all the owner's courtyards one by one except the main courtyard,

As expected, everyone has a hidden storehouse, and the wealth of any one person is enough to make the Marquis' Mansion cry with envy.

The male masters were all in the main courtyard, and the second lady was chatting with the first lady.

The eldest lady was in a bad mood and kept cursing the clan leader.

The second wife was a concubine, who was there to comfort the first wife carefully. She was not valued and had no children, so she often chatted with the first wife to relieve her boredom.

He tiptoed into the eldest lady's yard and collected all the items from the warehouses, both visible and hidden.

Then he cleared out the storerooms in all the courtyards except the servants' courtyard.

There must be silver, sales deeds and other things in their bedroom, but those things will be recorded as soon as they go to collect them.

So just take the valuable things. Of course, whether they are valuable or not depends on your mood.

Finally, he tiptoed to the main courtyard, where a banquet was being held with toasts and clinking of glasses.

Qiwu went to the study first, but there was no one there.

There was a small hidden vault in the study. Qiwu carefully used the gold-eroding talisman to open the mechanism, and found a few boxes of gold and the rest were letters.

There was no time to check them one by one, so Qiwu put all the letters on the bookshelf and sent them all to Tutu, and also sent everything in the study, including the furniture.

After Qiwu took over the open warehouse, he couldn't find where the patriarch's secret warehouse was, so he could only search around in his concubine's yard.
