After finishing speaking, Shen Qingge stretched out one hand and made a listening gesture, while pointing outside the secret room with the other hand.

At this moment, a faint and intermittent sound was coming from outside the secret room.

"Knock knock—bang bang—"

There was the sound of the night watchman again, and the time had quietly passed to the hour of Chou.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger. Then, he quickly stuffed the account book in his hand into his clothes.

Then he put the handle box back into the secret compartment and carefully adjusted the position of the items to restore the entire secret room to its original appearance.

After completing this series of actions, Xiao Heng raised his head and turned his gaze to Shen Qingge who was standing beside him, and said:

"Indeed, it's getting late. Let's go."

Shen Qingge nodded in agreement, took Xiao Heng's arm, and the two of them left the secret room together.

However, this time, just as they were about to leave the secret room, Shen Qingge seemed to casually put his right hand behind his back and made a gesture of linking hands.

In the blink of an eye, the entire secret room was swept away and became empty.

Famous paintings and calligraphy such as "Five Oxen", "One Hundred Horses", and "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and their miniature scrolls;

What are precious porcelains such as blue and white porcelain, doucai porcelain, famille rose porcelain, multicolored porcelain, enamel porcelain, etc.?

Gold and silver ornaments such as eagle-shaped gold pendants, gold scabbard ornaments with double animal patterns, gilded Capricorn cloud disks, and ox-head gold step-shaking crowns;

What about the priceless Su embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu brocade, zhuanghua satin and other exquisite silks and embroidery products?

Not to mention the boxes of gold bars and night-shining pearls, as well as the thick stacks of silver bills...

In short, County Magistrate Zhang took away all the rare items that he did not dare to put into the treasury. Of course, he did not forget the "Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pills" and sandalwood!

Next was the library, where all the rare ancient books were taken away, even the bookshelves.

However, Xiao Heng, who was walking half a step ahead of Shen Qingge, did not notice anything unusual. While paying attention to hiding, he was concentrating on observing the terrain of the county government.

Just for a moment or two, Xiao Heng felt a chill on his neck. He thought it was because of the cold night, so he straightened his collar and continued walking forward.

Shen Qingge followed closely behind him, pretending to carefully examine the surrounding terrain, but in fact he was secretly keeping an eye on the targets around him that he could attack.

As she walked, she quietly put various items into the space.

Passing by the wing room, I close the wing room; passing by the storehouse, I close the storehouse; passing by the kitchen, I close the kitchen...

Shen Qingge first sniffed the ingredients prepared for tomorrow's banquet, and after confirming that they had not been poisoned, he waved his hand and put them all into his pocket.

Xiao Heng walked almost through the front and back yards of the county government office, and naturally, Shen Qingge also searched them thoroughly.

No matter which corner, as long as there is something that catches her eye, she will take it away without mercy. It can be said that she truly "treats everyone equally."

The servants on duty were also unlucky. The lanterns they were holding in their hands disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving them standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

The yamen runners in the mansion were sleeping soundly when they suddenly felt their bodies turn cold. They woke up with a start and found that they had inexplicably fallen to the cold ground. When they looked again, their quilts were gone, and even their beds were nowhere to be found!

The patrolling guards had just stepped firmly on the solid white marble floor when they saw a flash of white light before their eyes.

By the time they came to their senses, the white marble floor beneath their feet had disappeared without a trace. They immediately lost their balance and almost fell to the ground.

The guards rubbed their eyes vigorously, thinking they were hallucinating. After realizing what was happening, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs:

"Catch the thief!"

At this moment, County Magistrate Zhang was soaking comfortably in the bathtub filled with hot water, his back leaning against the edge of the tub.

He closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed the gentle massage brought by the maid's soft hands.

Occasionally, he couldn't help but hold the maid's hand, kiss it gently, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

But in the blink of an eye, the tub disappeared, and the hot water inside splashed everywhere.

"Ouch, my old waist!"

With a scream, County Magistrate Zhang fell naked onto the cold and wet ground.

He held his waist tightly with both hands, his face full of pain, and his facial features were distorted by the severe pain.

The maids standing by were also frightened out of their wits by the sudden change, and they screamed in panic: "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

When County Magistrate Zhang finally managed to endure the severe pain coming from his buttocks, he barely wrapped himself in an outer coat and staggered out of the room. He was instantly shocked by the scene before him!

This, this, this... How can this be called a county government? It's clearly a ruin!

Before he could react, the guards came rushing to report.

"Report... Your Excellency, the armory has been stolen!"

"Your Excellency, the torture instruments in the cell have been stolen, and the cages that chained the prisoners have also disappeared..."

"Report... Your Excellency, the treasury has been robbed..."

……

Then, Magistrate Zhang's wife, concubine, and maidservant came running out in disheveled clothes, each crying and terrified, and came up to him to make the decision:

"Wuwu... Master, please help me! I don't know where these thieves with great connections came from, but they emptied all my rooms!"

"Wow... my eighteen dowries and the gold and silver jewelry you gave me are all gone..."

A group of beautiful girls were crying inconsolably.

"Oh, oh... Master, I... my precious treasures that I used to serve you are all gone..."

The Sixth Concubine, who was born in a brothel, cried tenderly. In order to keep the master's heart over the years, she asked people to find many small gadgets from all over the place to enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

Who would have thought that the thief would not even let go of this hidden little gadget. How could she live?

Zhang Jun pushed away the Sixth Aunt who was clinging to him in annoyance and said angrily:

"Come here! Who is the thief who did this? How dare they steal from my county government?"

Tonight, even if I have to turn the house upside down, I will catch that heartless thief!"

At this time, this cruel "thief" had already taken Xiao Heng away from Anshan County Government.

When they left the county government, Xiao Heng always felt that the county government behind him was no longer as quiet as before, but became noisy, and he could faintly hear someone shouting.

When he wanted to look back at the situation, Shen Qingge turned his head back.

She said anxiously, "Your Highness, hurry up! They may have discovered our whereabouts."
