Shen Rou sat quietly in the space waiting for Jiang Zongwei and the others to fall asleep, and quietly entered the room through the window.

The room was filled with a faint aroma, the scent of the tea that the couple liked to drink, which was just covering the scent of saffron.

She walked to the table, picked up the teapot, carefully put a handful of saffron into the teapot, and waited for the saffron to steep.

At this time, she was not idle either. She carefully went to the dressing table and put all the valuable jewelry into the space. When Xue Ying woke up tomorrow, she would definitely think that these jewelry were taken by Jiang Zongwei to give to the Jiang family, and then she would let them fight.

Time passed minute by minute. Shen Rou saw the saffron soaking and gently took it out and put it into the trash can in the space. Before leaving, she gave the two sleeping people a vicious look.

She quietly left Jiang Zongwei and his wife's side courtyard and went to look for Xue Zhong's main courtyard.

Late at night, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the earth, as if covering the world with a layer of silver yarn. The breeze blows, and the leaves rustle, as if playing a gentle nocturne.

At this moment, midnight is approaching, and everyone in the Xue family has fallen asleep. Only the sound of the night watchman's clappers echoes in the silent night sky.

The moonlight was like water, quietly spreading across the courtyard, casting a silver glow. The flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, appearing particularly beautiful under the moonlight.

The sky is full of stars, twinkling with stars. Dazzling and dazzling, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes far, sometimes near, forming a series of gorgeous and colorful patterns.

She finally found Xue Zhong's main courtyard, quietly walked along the eaves to the study, took out a flashlight from the space to illuminate the entire study, her eyes scanned the shelves eagerly, and her fingers kept flipping through the books and decorations.

Hoping to find some useful evidence, time passed by, sweat gradually seeped out of my forehead, but there was still no clue.

As she was overwhelmed with emotions, a painting hanging on the wall attracted her attention deeply. She moved the scroll carefully. There was a groove behind the scroll. She reached out and touched it. She felt an uneven brick. She pushed hard and the brick moved slowly. She heard a creaking sound and a secret door appeared next to it.

She was immediately delighted. After searching for a long time, she finally found it without any effort. Such a hidden secret door must be the storehouse in the mansion.

If you come to the door and use something to block it to prevent yourself from entering the secret compartment and close the door from the outside, it will not be worth it.

There were more than a dozen large wooden boxes lined up in a row in the room. She quickly walked to the box and opened the lid. The white silver ingots inside dazzled Shen Rou.

She opened a few more large wooden boxes, each of which was filled with silver ingots, jewelry and banknotes. She was immediately overjoyed and almost sang a song to express her happiness at the moment.

It seems that the Shangshu often embezzled money from the national treasury. How could he have so many boxes of silver ingots with just his salary?

I made the right decision to come tonight to alleviate his sins. I wonder how he will feel when he finds out. Will he die of anger and vomit blood, or suffer from a stroke or cerebral palsy? The thought of it is exciting.

She hurriedly brought the seventeen boxes of silver into the guest room on the second floor of the space, and the entire room was instantly filled with them.

After leaving the space, the innermost room of the secret compartment was filled with rows of shelves, and the shelves were filled with priceless treasures.

She then brought all the shelves and the treasures on them into the space and placed them in another guest room on the second floor. She had to lift up the bed in the guest room to accommodate the treasures on the shelves.

Looking at the rows of treasures, he immediately showed a look of satisfaction and murmured to himself: "Xue Zhong, you have been plundering silver and treasures for many years. I will plunder all of your money at once. I am waiting to see what your reaction will be when you find that all your belongings are gone."

"Do you dare to report it to the authorities? I don't think you dare. After all, these are ill-gotten gains. If you report it to the authorities, you will only die faster. If you don't report it, you will be speechless and suffer internal injuries."

"If you die, I won't have to worry about planning all these things. If the emperor issues an imperial decree to confiscate your property and exterminate your clan, it will implicate your entire Xue family."

Shen Rou left the dark room and restored it to its original state. She knew it was not a good place to stay for long, so she left in a hurry.

Shen Rou returned quietly to the inn where she was staying. Feeling refreshed, she went into the space to take a bath. While taking a bath, she drank some beauty-enhancing red wine and fell asleep.
