"It's definitely a lot." Jiang Zihong nodded servilely: "We can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every month, but we can only get a few dozen taels, all in the hands of the Fifth Master."

Zhong Ran became interested. She now understood that if she wanted to advance through cultivation, she could not accumulate it with elixirs, but with gold and silver.

In her previous life, she had no concept of this at all. Born into a noble family, she had been the focus of her family since birth. Resources were delivered to her every month, and she didn't have to worry about anything.

Now she understood that if she wanted to improve her cultivation, she would need a lot of financial support.

She is very short of money.

"In his house?" Zhong Ran was considering whether he should go to the residence of that Lord Chen to move in.

Such a disaster has happened in their family, and the money is not clean, so she won't feel any pressure even if she moves.

"Master Chen Wu has a small family outside. Most of his money is hidden there. He also keeps some pretty girls there..."

Noticing the chill in Zhong Ran's aura, he quickly changed the subject: "Aunt, I know where his little home is, but it's heavily guarded."

"Ah, his guards are so few, how can they be worthy of polluting my ears?"

"Auntie, when are we going?"

"Wait for me outside for a moment. I'll go in and take a look and then come out. Go report to the police. Just do as we said before."

Zhong Ran looked at Jiang Zihong: "They are related to the theft case, do you understand?"

Jiang Zihong quickly agreed and walked quickly to the front yard.

Zhong Yan wanted to go in with Zhong Ran, but she refused: "Xiao Yan, wait for me outside for a while, I'll be out soon."

She planned to put some useless things from the sacred tripod here to prove Chen Wuye's crime of theft.

By then, she would like to see who can save him.

Zhong Yan nodded slightly and stood there without moving.

He Chao stayed a little distance away from the young master. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt uncomfortable when he got close to him.

I can’t describe the discomfort, but I just feel uncomfortable.

Zhong Ran walked into one of the rooms. There was only a bed inside, with four women lying on the bed, all unconscious.

She glanced at the four women, all of whom were about fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were all good-looking.

They must have been drugged and were falling asleep. She took a quick look and ignored them. She moved some furniture from the sacred tripod - the furniture from her good father's room - out and piled them casually in the corner.

Then he went to see the second room and saw the set of tables and chairs from Prince Ning's room, even the teacups were still there.

She wanted to move more things out, but the things in Prince Ning's Mansion were all good. She felt that if she sold them or pawned them, she would be able to exchange them for a lot of silver.

So, she couldn't bear to do that and piled some of the servants' things in the corner.

He walked out and said to He Chao, "Come on, take me to the yard over there."

When the soldiers arrive, this yard will definitely be confiscated, so she doesn't want it anymore.

"Who owns this yard?"

She suddenly thought of this matter, would it cause trouble?

"Don't worry, Auntie. This is the name of a close confidant of the Fifth Master. This place was originally just a branch."

Master Chen Wu bought many villas, all of which were registered in the names of his close confidants.

"That small courtyard over there is what I bought myself. Except for my two close confidants, no one else knows about it yet. It is absolutely safe."

Zhong Ran walked with him to the front yard and said calmly, "Don't do such things that will damage your virtue in the future, but you can do other things to earn money."

"I will do whatever my aunt says."

Zhong Ran remembered that among the things he moved from the Marquis' Mansion, there were many house deeds and shop deeds that had to be converted into silver.

She knew nothing and didn't know how to run a store. What's more, these things had become shady things, and she couldn't come forward and take them back openly.

"Help me well, and I won't treat you unfairly in the future."

When we walked to the front yard, a large group of people were still there crying in pain. Uncle Chen Wu had lost a lot of blood and had not woken up yet.

He Chao happened to see Ah Sheng still lying there, so she whispered, "Auntie, that young man is called Ah Sheng. He is a very strong young man, but he is a little silly and eats a lot."

"However, he will work for whoever feeds him. Fifth Master picked it up when he was away from home. He wanted to use his power to unify the underground forces in the capital."

"Look, Auntie..."

Zhong Ran walked over and saw that the young man was almost eight feet tall, so he became a little curious.

Even in the world of cultivation, some special races rarely have such high levels.

"Then take him with you, but keep him under close watch."

He Chao nodded quickly and asked several confidants to take Ah Sheng with them to the courtyard he mentioned.

As for the remaining dozen or so thugs who had also taken her medicine, they all scattered and found places to settle down on their own.

They just hang out in Beijing, so they have some cards up their sleeves.

Prince Ning came out of the palace and brought back a lot of rewards.

Because the palace was robbed, the emperor and the imperial concubine gave him a lot of rewards, at least to ensure that his palace could operate normally.

Steward Zhong Bo hurried over, his tone urgent: "Your Highness, I just received news that someone reported that some of the stolen items were found in a courtyard in the west of the city."

"Your Majesty, would you like to go over and take a look?"

Prince Ning frowned as he heard this. He could roughly guess who the thief was.

Now all of a sudden, stolen items appear? Why does this sound so strange?

"Go and see."

He strode outside. Someone was waiting outside with a horse ready. He jumped on the horse and headed towards the yard he had found in the west of the city.

In addition to him, many people including the Dali Temple Minister, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Ye, and the Ministry of Justice rushed over there.

Even the other princes and kings rushed over after hearing the news, wanting to see who the thieves who had been causing so much trouble in the past few days were.

"Second brother, you are here too." King Cheng just dismounted from his horse and saw him, and bowed to him in greeting.

Mu Jinning nodded slightly, dismounted, and walked in with him.

The people who were lying on the ground just now were now all taken to the side, their faces pale.

The girl and child at the back were rescued, and several adults were inspecting and studying the furniture in the backyard.

Someone also went to the Marquis' Mansion to inform Zhong Qingshan to come and claim the property.

Seeing Prince Ning coming, a middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Prince Ning, come and take a look. Are there any things from the palace?"

Mu Jinning nodded and walked over. He first looked at the furniture piled together. Although they looked in good condition, he had a feeling that they did not belong to his palace.

The palace is so big that it is impossible for him to know what every piece of furniture looks like.

He looked at Uncle Zhong beside him, and Uncle Zhong shook his head slightly.

He walked into another room and immediately saw the set of tables and chairs in the middle.

He recognized it without Zhongbo telling him.

He had been reborn in this body and had eaten at this table several times, so he could recognize it.

"Second brother, is this table the one in your room?" King Cheng, who came in to see what was going on, exclaimed.
