Confiscating property? A stunningly beautiful substitute bride empties the national treasury and is

"Master Guo, the person has arrived!"

One of the men was untying a sack while explaining the situation to the man inside the house.

While Song Qingqian was still trying to figure out who Master Guo was, she was pulled out and thrown onto the bed.

"This...this person is not right!"

"I want the youngest daughter of the Lu family, oh no!"

While Guo Qian was entangled with the two, Song Qingqian slowly sat up from the bed.

"You...you didn't faint?"

Why should I faint?

Guo Qian was shocked: "You're faking it?"

"If you're here, then who was sent to the master's room?"

"I don't know!"

Song Qingqian smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care who it was...

"Go and arrest her, then take her to the master's room. Be quick!"

As soon as Guo Qian finished speaking, the two men rushed over but before they could even make a move, Lu Yunqi's boomerang chopped off their heads.

When Guo Qian saw the head rolling at his feet, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the spot.

"You...you're a demon!"

After wiping the blood off the boomerang, Song Qingqian put it away and got out of bed, walking towards him step by step.

Guo Qian was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, begging for mercy: "You...you don't kill me, I know a secret passage to escape."

"where is it?"

Song Qingqian leaned closer and gently traced the daggers on his cheek.

"You...you promise you won't kill me, then I'll tell you!"

Song Qingqian smiled and nodded: "Then it depends on your sincerity. If it's true, I definitely won't take your life. After all, we're complete strangers and have no grudges against each other, so I have no reason to kill you."

Guo Qian hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a trembling voice: "There is a rockery behind the courtyard, and the secret passage is behind the rockery. Every time the women are transported out, they use that secret passage."

Are there soldiers guarding the area?

Guo Qian nodded hurriedly: "Yes, there are two people!"

Song Qingqian patted his cheek with the dagger and laughed, "I'll spare your life since you've behaved well!"

"Thank you... thank you!"

No sooner had Guo Qian finished speaking than Song Qingqian knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike and quietly left the room.

"Qianqian..."

Lu Jingchuan was extremely anxious. He had finally managed to find out where he was and sneaked in, only to find that the person was gone.

"Reaching for the moon..."

Lu Lanyue hid in her room, too afraid to come out. Suddenly, she heard her third brother's voice. She thought she was hallucinating, but upon closer listening, it really was her third brother.

She hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, and as soon as she pushed open the door, she was knocked unconscious by a single blow.

"Third Brother..."

Hearing the noise, Lu Jingchuan turned around but saw nothing.

"Master, we've searched all the rooms here, but there isn't a single woman. It seems they've all been moved away."

The north wind answered cautiously.

"Search in other courtyards, don't overlook any clues!"

Lu Jingchuan clenched his fists and said with a gloomy expression, "I'll go to Li Yixiao's room, you go to Liang Han's room."

"I'll go right away!"

Halfway there, Song Qingqian suddenly discovered that Granny Yan and her men had locked the entire courtyard gate.

Seeing someone approach, she quickly dispatched two of her men, cornered Granny Yan with a dagger, and pressed her for answers:

"Where are they? Where were they all sent?"

"Which one are you asking about?"

Granny Yan spoke in a trembling voice.

"Chu Hua!"

"She was taken to Grandpa Liang's room."

"where?"

Grandma Yan pointed tremblingly to the courtyard to the north.

Song Qingqian pressed on, "What about the other women?"

"Five were sent to different rooms, and eight were taken to the cold courtyard!"

What kind of place is Lengyuan?

"It's a secret room, but this old servant doesn't know exactly where it is. It's always Master Liang who personally leads people there!"

"You really don't know?"

Granny Yan hurriedly shook her head: "This old servant truly does not know!"

"Since it's useless, you don't need to keep it."

"No...no...spare me!"

Song Qingqian quickly gagged her, tied her up with a rope, and then threw her directly into the lake next to her.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Song Qingqian was embraced by someone.

"Qianqian, is that really you? Are you hurt?"

Lu Jingchuan looked her up and down nervously, and only felt relieved after finding that she was unharmed.

"You came?"

Song Qingqian replied casually, "Did you see the others?"

"No! The courtyard is empty."

"Where's Lan Yue? We haven't seen her either?"

Lu Jingchuan shook his head, and Song Qingqian quickly pushed him away and walked into the room.

"Reaching for the moon?"

Lu Jingchuan whispered, "I've searched thoroughly, but there's no one here."

"They must have been taken to some cold courtyard, in Liang Han's courtyard. Go find them quickly."

After saying that, Song Qingqian turned and left, and Lu Jingchuan quickly chased after her.

In Liang Han's room, Chu Hua was lying on the bed with her hands tied. Faced with Liang Han's intense pressure, she shrank into the corner of the bed in fear.

Liang Han laughed excitedly, grabbed her ankle, and pulled her back.

"It's good to be awake. It's so much more interesting when you're awake. Let me tell you, if you cooperate well and make this old man comfortable, I'll make you my concubine in the future."

"If you're not discreet and make me angry, I'll sell you to a brothel to entertain the customers when I'm done with you."

"Oh, by the way, did you see that woman who ran away from the brothel today? That's what happens when you don't know what's good for you!"

Chu Hua shook her head, sobbing, "No...don't..."

"Don't cry, it's not time to cry yet. When it's time to cry later, the more you cry, the more I like it!"

As Liang Han spoke, he grabbed her chin and kissed her forcefully. Chu Hua shook her head and refused, kicking her legs wildly, but Liang Han held her down so she couldn't move.

"Ugh...no...no..."

Seeing her dress being torn, Chu Hua's fear intensified. Heavens... someone please save her!

bump!

The door was kicked open suddenly. Liang Han turned around in shock and looked at Li Yixiao, who was standing fiercely at the door. He trembled and got up from Chu Hua to go to meet him.

"Brother-in-law, what brings you here?"

Li Yixiao reached out and pushed him away, then strode to the bedside and pulled Chu Hua, who was crying and clutching the blanket, out of the room.

"no!"

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean 'not'? What exactly happened?"

Liang Han anxiously pressed for an answer, asking why his brother-in-law was in his room. Shouldn't he be with that young woman at this time?

Li Yixiao stroked his beard and angrily cursed, "She ran away! That little bitch was switched!"

"Go and bring her back to me. If you don't find her tonight, you can disown me as your brother-in-law!"

"Run away? How is that possible!"

Liang Han immediately shut his mouth after speaking. He glanced reluctantly at Chu Hua on the bed, then bowed and scraped to Li Yixiao, promising:

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. There are guards everywhere in our courtyard. It would be impossible for them to escape. They must be scared and hiding. I'll go find them right now!"

"roll!"

After angrily reprimanding her, Li Yixiao turned around and glanced at the woman on the bed, who was crying with tears streaming down her face.

She was not bad looking, passable. The tonic in her body had already begun to take effect. Li Yixiao reached out and tugged at his clothes before touching Chu Hua's ankle.

Chu Hua was so frightened that she quickly pulled her foot back and curled up into a ball.

"Do not……"

"Do you know who I am? In this entire imperial city, there is not a single woman who will refuse me if I set my sights on her."

"It is your good fortune to serve me. If you have a son or daughter in the future, you can walk sideways in the entire Imperial City."

As Li Yixiao spoke, he started running out on his own. Chu Hua took the opportunity to untie the restraints on her hands and hurriedly ran off the bed, but Li Yixiao reached out and hooked her back onto the bed.

"How naughty!"

He then pounced on it...

Seeing Liang Han come out of the room, Song Qingqian quickly pulled Lu Jingchuan to hide in a corner. After they walked away, Song Qingqian whispered:

"Go with him and see if you can find the others. I'll go find Chu Hua first, and we'll meet up at the rockery in the backyard later. There's a secret passage there that leads to the outside world."

Lu Jingchuan nodded: "Okay, let Bei Ci follow you for now!"

"Be careful!"

Seeing that the person had left, Song Qingqian led Bei Ci inside. Just as Li Yixiao was about to call for help, Song Qingqian knocked him unconscious with a palm strike and kicked him off the bed.

"Chu Hua, it's me!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law..."

As Chu Hua spoke, she hugged her tightly and burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had just endured.

Song Qingqian patted her reassuringly and whispered, "Bear with it for now, don't cry. Escaping is the priority, hurry up and go!"

"Uh-huh!"

Chu Hua nodded, then turned to look for her outer robe, only to find it torn, and became extremely anxious.

After seeing this, Song Qingqian took off her outer robe and gave it to her, then instructed Bei Ci:

"Quickly tie this person up!"

Bei Ci nodded, and when he turned around, he found that Song Qingqian was already wearing a black men's outer robe.

"He has committed numerous evils; cripple him!"

After Song Qingqian finished speaking, Bei Ci kicked Li Yixiao in the groin, and he immediately stared wide-eyed in pain.

After Song Qingqian gagged him, she pushed Chu Hua to Bei Ci and gave the order:

"Take her with you first!"

"Young Madam, what about you?"

"I have other things to do!"

As Song Qingqian spoke, she left and headed straight for Li Yixiao's independent residence.

Unable to find the secret room, she first searched the main house and study thoroughly for all the rare treasures.

Looking at the dozen or so boxes of gold ingots and gold coins lined up in the warehouse, Song Qingqian sighed. It was astonishing that the government office in such a small county was so wealthy. It seemed that they had been bribed quite a bit, and that all of them had been taken away without leaving a trace.

After leaving the warehouse, Song Qingqian headed straight for the granary, leaving no survivors in her wake.

Just as she was about to leave, a faint fragrance wafted into her nostrils, indicating a secret room!

Following the scent, Song Qingqian suddenly spotted Lu Jingchuan hiding in a corner; it turned out he had also been following them.

Liang Han led his men to a doorway, looked around, and finally left his men outside while he and two others pushed open the door and went inside.

"Qianqian!"

"Shh!"

The two men rushed forward and quickly took down the guards outside!

Liang Han turned a corner ornament, and suddenly the antique shelf moved, revealing a secret passage. Liang Han led his men inside.

"go!"

Song Qingqian and Lu Jingchuan followed, while Beifeng stayed outside to keep watch.

As soon as they entered the secret room, the sound of women crying came out. Inside a huge iron cage, several women were trembling and hugging each other, sobbing and crying.

After Guo Qian counted the people one by one, he said, "Boss, Song Qingqian isn't inside. Someone just sent word that Huya took a woman from the room, and it might be her."

He had just said that Song Qingqian had escaped, and the number of people matched up, so she must have been caught later. However, Liang Han didn't believe him and insisted on checking everything.
