The three of them took many detours and arrived outside the county magistrate's mansion. An Er leaped forward and landed lightly on the top of the wall. After observing the yard for a while, he nodded to Lin Xi!

Lin Xi patted Lin An's arm and motioned him to go up!

Lin An took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and followed what his sister had taught him. He took a few run-up steps, raised one foot and gently pushed against the wall, while climbing up with both hands. An Er on the wall grabbed him and pulled him up!

Seeing his brother squatting firmly on the wall, Lin Xi jumped up easily!

She looked carefully into the courtyard in the dim light of the lanterns under the eaves. There was a bamboo forest under the courtyard wall, and three guards patrolled over every quarter of an hour!

She patted An Er and Lin An lightly, pointed towards the bamboo forest, and signaled them to go down!

After the three of them came down, they hid in the shadows of the bamboo forest and did not move.

After waiting for a while, three security guards came over on patrol. They rubbed their eyes and yawned!

"Ah! We were on duty just when the young master was in trouble. We are so miserable! We didn't have to patrol all night before!"

"Okay, stop complaining! Compared to the brothers who are guarding the funeral hall, we are better off. At most, we won't sleep for one night and can still walk around, but they have to kneel all night."

"Sir, you are such a fool. You said he was afraid of being harmed by thieves, so you sent dozens of us brothers to patrol and guard the yard. But why did you let so many brothers guard his son's body?"

"Why do you care so much? Just patrol our night!"

"Hey! Brothers, you two go ahead and I'll follow you and take a nap! I feel like I can fall asleep even if I'm standing now!"

"Haha! Okay, no problem! You better be careful, keep your eyes open and watch the road, don't fall flat on your face! What if you get disfigured and your lover doesn't recognize you anymore?"

Two of the guards laughed and yawned as they walked in front, while the guard behind him squinted his eyes and moved his head slowly in a daze.

Lin Xi seized the opportunity, flashed, and quickly came behind him, strangled his neck, and covered the guard's mouth with a handkerchief boiled with knockout drug!

The knockout drug made by Lin Xi was extremely effective. The guard passed out after just two seconds!

An Er flashed over and carried him into the bamboo forest with Lin Xi and hid them. Then the two of them hid behind the two guards in front and knocked them unconscious when they were not prepared, and dragged them into the bamboo forest!

Lin An hid in the bamboo forest, watching the actions of his sister and elder brother An Er, and was very excited!

Lin Xi waved to his younger brother, motioning him to follow them. Lin An hurriedly ran over quietly and followed the two closely!

Next, Lin An saw his elder sister and his second brother showing off their skills. They would suddenly jump down from the treetops and knock someone down. They would suddenly appear in front of someone by hooking their feet under the eaves and then hanging upside down. They would then cover the person with a handkerchief and knock him down. They would suddenly appear from the eaves pillars and drag someone away...

Lin An's task tonight was to hide himself well and follow his sister and big brother An Er closely. He reached out and touched his pounding heart. Tonight was really wonderful!

Half an hour later, except for the servants who were kneeling in the front hall to keep vigil, everyone was knocked down by them!

"Sister, are the people in the mourning hall in front of us not caring anymore?"

Lin An flashed his big, bright eyes and looked at Lin Xi expectantly. It was obvious that he had not seen enough and wanted to see what method his sister would use to knock down everyone in the mourning hall.

"No, the door connecting the front yard and the back yard is locked. The people keeping vigil cannot move around freely and cannot turn over here. The front hall is quite far away from the back yard. They can't hear any movement in the back yard. There's no need to waste your time!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking in a low voice, he led the two of them into the house of the county magistrate's wife.

She just knocked the county magistrate's wife unconscious and did not use any knockout drug on her.

Therefore, Lin Xi simply took out a silver needle and pierced the acupuncture points of the county magistrate's wife, and the county magistrate's wife slowly woke up!

When she saw the situation clearly, she was about to shout for help when she heard Lin Xi slowly say in a man's voice: "Don't shout! Otherwise, if my hand shakes and the dagger cuts, your beautiful neck will bleed!"

Looking at the dagger pressed against her neck and the three masked men in front of her, the county magistrate's wife trembled and whispered: "I won't shout! I won't shout! Don't hurt me. Do you want silver? How much? I'll give you everything I have, just don't hurt me!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi raised her eyebrows, she had not thought of this before. The county magistrate's wife was a good reminder. Wouldn't it be even better if they could rob at the same time?

"Tell me, where is the silver hidden?"

"In the small box under the dressing table!" The magistrate's wife pointed under the dressing table with shaking fingers.

Lin Xi winked at Lin An and An Er, and the two understood and moved the box over. Lin An also searched all the jewelry on the dressing table, pulled off the tablecloth, and brought it over!

When Lin Xi saw this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched. He really is her brother! He is exactly like her!

"key!"

Lin Xi glanced at the lock on the box and pressed the dagger against the county magistrate's wife's neck.

"Good man, the key is hanging around my neck. Just raise your hand and I'll take it out right away!" The county magistrate's wife leaned back in fear and said flatteringly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi put away the dagger, pulled the key from the county magistrate's wife's neck, and threw it to An Er.

An Er took it, opened the box, and took out a thick stack of silver bills and ten gold bars from the box! Then, with a calm look on his face, he put them on Lin An's tablecloth, tied them into a bundle, and carried them on his back.

Lin Xi's eyes sparkled as he looked at the banknotes and gold bars that An Er had put away! Wow! I'm rich!

"Someone come! There's an assassin! Come..."

The magistrate's wife saw Lin Xi put away the dagger and was looking at another companion at this moment. She seized the opportunity and shouted loudly towards the door!

After just shouting twice, Lin Xi grabbed his neck!

She was out of breath, her face flushed, and she slapped Lin Xi's hand hard.

Lin Xi waited until she was too weak to move and was about to suffocate before he let go of her and threw her on the bed.

The county magistrate's wife lay on the bed and breathed in the fresh air!

"Ma'am! You are a little naughty!"

"I won't shout anymore, I won't shout anymore. Just take the silver and leave quickly. I promise that the master won't track me down!"

"Leave? Did I say I was here to rob? I'm here to avenge the lives of those dozen innocent concubines. Robbery is just a byproduct of your reminder!"

"Who are you? What do you have to do with them? I bought them from a human being. Since the indentures are in my hands, I have the final say on their life and death!"

"According to the rules of this world, you are right! But their deaths were caused by me, so I must avenge them!"

"Implicated by you?" The county magistrate's wife looked at Lin Xi in confusion.
