What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

The two of them sneaked to the window where Gu Xi had been and found a small hole the size of a peanut there.

Chu Zhao looked inside through the small hole and found that the woman was holding a very strange, glowing object in her hand and shining it on the bookshelf. He was sure that it was not a tinderbox.

When she saw a vase, she walked over and pressed the vase with her hand.

Then the bookshelf began to move slowly.

Chu Zhao's eyes widened. Seeing the woman's goal-oriented look, it was obvious that she had known about this plan for a long time.

No wonder he couldn’t find Zhen Wude’s warehouse. He suspected that Zhen Wude’s warehouse was in this secret room.

But he just couldn't figure it out. He searched for two nights but couldn't find it. He had also entered the study and searched there, but didn't find the secret room at all.

Why did this woman know that just by lying in a tree and looking at the stars for half the night?

Is she able to tell fortunes, or did she discover it by observing the stars at night?

Impossible! He didn't believe there was such a magic in the world.

He wanted to follow them in, but the patrolling guards came over, so they both quickly ducked back into the tree.

"Boss, what did you see?" Wu Dajiang asked in a low voice as the patrolling guards walked away.

Chu Zhao said, "She went into a secret room. I suspect that was Zhen Wude's storeroom, where he hid the money he had embezzled and received bribes, and perhaps other things."

Wu Dajiang was delighted: "Should we go in and intercept them?"

Chu Zhao thought for a moment and said:

"No need. If we go in now, we might get into a conflict with her and be exposed. The guards at the Zhen Mansion are not pushovers. Wouldn't it be better if we wait until she steals everything and leaves the county government office before we go and rob her?"

At this moment, when Gu Xi saw the secret door open, he was delighted. He shone the flashlight inside and walked in.

There were many boxes inside, and Gu Xi opened one at random.

Wow! The shining gold almost blinded her pair of titanium alloy eyes.

She opened several boxes and found gold, silver, pearls, and even a box of banknotes.

Without further ado, let’s collect——

Uh, the space is full and can’t hold these things. What should I do?

Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, but still took out the things she thought were the least important.

It was the food she bought.

Alas, my poor roast chicken, roast duck, fried spare ribs, and braised beef stew are going to be given to this corrupt official.

After Gu Xi took out a large amount of food, she finally packed up all the boxes. She also left a few boxes as evidence of Zhen Wude's corruption.

Although the video she took can also be used as evidence, cell phones should not be exposed if possible.

When he was about to leave, Gu Xi suddenly found a painting on the wall. Although it was beautiful, why did it feel so out of place hanging there?

She reached out and lifted the scroll below the painting, shone the flashlight inside, and found a small door in the wall.

There was a lock on the door.

Even a fool would know that such a secret place must contain something very important.

Gu Xi took out the small electric saw and broke the door open violently. In front of the power tool, no matter how thick the wooden door and iron lock were, they were all broken into pieces.

She shone the flashlight inside and found a booklet, which she took out and flipped through with the flashlight.

It turned out to be the account of Zhen Wude's bribery and corruption!

It records the time, place, and people who were sent, as well as what the item was, how much silver taels and silver notes were, or the value of the item, and what was requested, in great detail.

Well, this is a really careful county magistrate. He would definitely be an accountant in modern times.

Then there was no need for her to keep the gold and silver as evidence. She then took out some food from the space, put away the remaining boxes, and put the account books into the space.

After robbing Zhen Wude’s warehouse, Gu Xi quietly slipped out.

Chu Zhao and Wu Dajiang, who were waiting outside, were surprised to see Gu Xi coming out empty-handed. As the nightgown was tight, it seemed that it couldn't hide much.

How is it possible that nothing can be stolen in such a secret place?

The two people who were secretly planning to intercept were depressed.

Chu Zhao once again suspected that their tracking had been discovered by this woman, and she was just taking them for a walk.

"Boss, are you still following?" Wu Dajiang asked.

"Why follow her? She has nothing in her hands. What can we gain by following her?"

However, Chu Zhao already knew the mechanism of the secret room in Zhen Wude's study. After Gu Xi left, the two of them also entered the study.

Press the vase and the bookshelf will slowly move, revealing a secret room.

Before they even entered, the two smelled a mouth-watering aroma, which was more fragrant than any dish in the restaurant!

Chu Zhao opened the fire stick and they were both stunned.

On the ground in the middle of the secret room, there was a pile of food that was taller than a person and covered half of the room.

"Gurgle" Wu Dajiang swallowed his saliva.

"Boss, it smells so good. I've never eaten such delicious food before."

Chu Zhao was still in great shock.

He didn't expect that there was food hidden in the secret room.

The most incredible thing is that the food is still hot and has obviously just come out of the pot.

He touched the bowls and plates used to package the food. They were not made of porcelain, wood, gold, silver, iron or other materials. They were a material he had never seen before.

Wu Dajiang couldn't help it at this moment, so he grabbed a roasted chicken and started eating it.

Chu Zhao frowned: "Aren't you afraid of poison?"

"It's so delicious! It's worth dying of poison to eat something so delicious!"

Chu Zhao was speechless. He had no idea that Wu Dajiang was such a foodie.

He didn't feel hungry originally, but now that he was tempted by the food, he felt his stomach growling.

Then, the two of them simply sat on the ground and feasted.

There are not only meat and vegetables, but also soup.

After eating and drinking, the two held their stomachs and checked the secret room again. Chu Zhao also found the painting and the damaged box behind the painting.

It seems that the woman did not take nothing.

The most puzzling thing is these foods. Where do they come from?

Zhen Wude hid it? That shouldn't be the case. Even if he is a foodie, he can't hide food in a secret room!

What kind of bad taste would that be?

Moreover, the food was still hot. They had been staring at the study room from the tree outside for an hour and didn't see anyone bringing in food. When did he put it in?

Chu Zhao felt that ever since he met the woman named Xi, strange things always happened.

Could it be that she put these foods there?

But how and why did she do it?

Chu Zhao began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his mental state. All of this was just imagination, a dream, and an illusion!

I can't take it anymore. I've been following that woman to the county government office every night for the past two days and haven't had a good rest. I have to go back and catch up on some sleep.
