Wang Ersheng carried Leng Yi on his back, tied his grandson to his chest, and walked quickly across the roof.

"Wow." Little Yining just let out an exclamation when his grandfather manually silenced him.

It is hard to imagine that Wang Ersheng, a strong man of eight feet tall, could be so light as a swallow. He climbed the wall to the top effortlessly, and his feet landed on the tiles without any sound.

Little Yining looked at her grandfather with admiration. She only knew that he was good at hunting, but she didn't expect that he was so good at stealing. As expected, her father was the most useless person in the family. Apart from making money, he was good for nothing else.

Wang Ersheng had already set his goal in mind, and when he came to a high wall, he climbed over it. With two children, he was even more cautious, hiding his entire figure in the darkness.

The two tails behind looked at each other and also sneaked into the residence of the Minister of Works.

Wang Ersheng gestured to the two children to keep quiet, then took them to a room, knelt on the ground and knocked on the stone slabs one by one.

Xiao Yining was stunned by his actions.

This is…

This is……

Wang Ersheng continued his actions until one of the stone slabs made a different sound. He took out a long thin needle and, without knowing how to operate it, he silently cut the stone slab into two pieces and moved it away.

Xiao Yining's worldview at this moment was shattered as the stone slab cracked. At this moment, she could no longer hold back, "Grandpa, this will lead to imprisonment."

You are dancing on a tightrope.

Wang Ersheng grinned and said, "Don't be afraid, Sister Qing. Your grandfather has been doing this since you were born."

Then you must be exiled three thousand miles away!!!

Maybe the entire nine clans will be exterminated!

Xiao Yining touched his head and roared in his heart.

She felt that the speed at which her father and uncle climbed up was not as fast as the speed at which her grandfather sent the clan to safety.

The next moment, Xiao Yining stopped thinking so, because she was blinded by the bright light in front of her.

Wang Ersheng said regretfully, "If you hadn't followed me, I could have emptied this place."

Leng Yi frowned as he looked at the scene in the dark room, then glanced at Wang Ersheng.

As expected of Wang Lin’s father, he found other people’s secret treasury without saying a word. He thought he was going to eavesdrop on other people again this time.

"Uncle Wang, how long have you been looking for this?"

"Well, I found this when I entered Yanjing. You and the waiter of the inn were arguing at the time, and the carriage carrying gold just passed behind me. I have heard that sound since I was a child." Wang Ersheng picked up a gold bar and took a bite. There was a row of teeth marks, really. He put the dumbfounded little Yining on the ground, stuffed the gold bar into her hand and coaxed her, "Qingjie, be good, your grandma worked hard to make money, and it costs a lot of money for your two uncles to marry wives. If you move these grandpas back, you can let your eldest uncle marry the most beautiful woman in Yanjing."

Leng Yi next to him had already started stuffing gold bars into his clothes very skillfully. These gold bars had no marks on them and could not be traced once they were taken away.

Little Yining stared blankly at the two people who had turned into bandits, and silently said to himself, this is the world in the book, whatever happens is normal.

Hahahaha, her dear grandpa is a gold thief, who would believe it if she told others?

Hahahahahaha…

Xiao Yining quietly moved to a shelf, picked up a few gold bars and stuffed them into his clothes.

If one day the truth comes out and she is beheaded for doing nothing, how absurd it would be.

This one is hers.

This one is her mother's.

This one belongs to her father.

This one...

Let's destroy it together. It doesn't matter if this world doesn't exist. Woohoo...

The robbery of the three men was seen by the shadow guards hiding in the dark. They were surprised at their actions, and even more shocked that a small Minister of Works could hide so much wealth.

38 looks at 13: Go back and inform the master.

13: No, I have a mission.

38: Me too.

13: I am reporting to His Majesty.

38. I am also a direct shadow guard. That’s all. I won’t bother with women.

Wang Ersheng had been scouting the place for many days and was fully prepared. The only variable was the two children. But it didn't matter. He practiced martial arts every day and it would be easy for him to go back.

After the three men left with the gold bars, countless figures quietly surrounded the residence of the Minister of Works.

"Boss, should we chase him or not?" a shadow guard asked, looking at the receding figure.

The shadow guard leader's eyes twitched as he looked at the three people stacked up together. "We need to consult His Majesty about this matter. We need to empty the residence of this minister first."

"Yes."

After the spoils were divided, Xiao Yining, with the help of her fellow villagers, returned to the house through the window, along with the gold bars. In fact, she also wanted to take a few large pearls, but her family's assets would arouse suspicion and might lead to her death, so she decided to hide as much as possible, as her life was more important.

"Sister Qing?" Wan Niang's voice suddenly sounded, which scared the guilty thief. She looked at the dim candlelight beside her.

After all, conditions have improved, and even the candles that I was reluctant to light before are now lit all night long.

Little Yining huddled into a ball and dared not move.

Wan Niang had already gotten out of bed and came to her daughter's side. "But you need to pee, why don't you call me mother?"

"Mom is asleep." Little Yining replied in a soft voice.

"It's okay. Remember to call me mom next time." Wan Niang touched her daughter's head lovingly. The next moment, she picked up her daughter, took out the bucket, and held her daughter to pee like when she was a baby.

Xiao Yining looked at the posture and immediately covered her face in shame. The gold bars hidden in her clothes instantly fell out with a bang.

Xiao Yining: ...

She turned back to look at her mother in panic, and Wan Niang was obviously also stunned by the sudden appearance of the gold bar.

"Sister Qing, you..."

"Dad."

"what?"

"Qingjie stole Dad's private money." Little Yining showed an expression seeking praise.

Husband's?

Wan Niang's mind flashed back to the scene where Lin Yuzan handed her eight thousand taels of silver notes. After years of getting along, she knew it was a lie the moment she heard it. Now he was secretly hiding so many gold bars...

Wan Niang sneered. If he hid it from her like this, she was afraid that he would do something unfair to her behind her back in the future.

It turns out that my mother was right. Men are unreliable after all. The most important thing is to stand on your own feet.

"Qingjie'er has done a great job. If your father behaves abnormally next time, remember to tell me." Wanniang's tone was cold. "I'll keep this gold for you. It will be Qingjie'er's dowry in the future."

Preparing the dowry so early?

Yes, women in ancient times, especially those from wealthy families, did start preparing their dowries from the moment they were born.

but…

"Sister Qing won't marry."

"Mother is reluctant to do so. I will find you a son-in-law when the time comes." Wan Niang said with a smile.

But you still have to get married.

Xiao Yining pursed his lips, showing that he was very unhappy.

Royal Palace

Sheng Jingchen took the account book from Pei Dafu, flipped through a few pages, and then threw it heavily at the Minister of Works.

"A small minister hid hundreds of thousands of taels of stolen silver and gold. His selfish desires made the people of Yanzhou homeless. Now the epidemic is spreading everywhere, and my entire Zhou Dynasty is shaken."

The Minister of Industry picked up the account book tremblingly. Every line and every name could make him faint on the spot, but he didn't dare to faint. If he fainted, the emperor would immediately slay his entire clan and drag his entire family to the vegetable market to be chopped off.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. I have sent people to Yanzhou to rebuild the dam. Give me three months, no, one month to build the dam and prevent the people of Yanzhou from suffering from floods again."

"You guys can't even bear the consequences of this crime. My Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed by you stinky bugs sooner or later. Get lost."

Pei Dafu watched the Minister of Works crawl away, shook his head helplessly, picked up the account book on the ground and put it back on the table.

He looked at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, the stolen silver that the young lady took must be taken back."

"How much did she take?" Sheng Jingchen asked in a deep voice.

"About a few thousand taels. They said they wanted to find a beautiful wife for my uncle." Pei Dafu said truthfully.

"She does think about her family." Sheng Jingchen sneered. He glanced at Pei Dafu, who immediately bent down very low. "She just has no conscience. That's all. The gold will be my cousin's dowry. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have married that country bumpkin. Humph, she's quite capable. No wonder she kidnapped my cousin's body right under my nose."

"Your Majesty is kind, but this doesn't match what's in the account book!"

"Well, it really doesn't match. This minister is really bold."

Sheng Jingchen looked through the account book again and put the names on the kill list. Pei Dafu said again, "Your Majesty, the prince's people account for 30% of the number here."

Sheng Jingchen looked at him fiercely, full of murderous intent.

"I dare not deceive your majesty."
