Chapter 212
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll just make you something delicious at home."
Lin Hongyi put away the jewelry in front of him and asked Lin Shu to keep it for him.
What's more, a grown man is afraid of being robbed if he carries women's things.
Lin Shu ignored his bullshit and took the three back to the house.
She patiently tied flowers in the hair of the three, especially Baozi and Heizi.
The hair on both ears is thick, dense and long.
With two little buns on her head and a bell-shaped hair ornament tied on it, she is so adorable.
Because the rat has short fur, it can only wear its head flower as a collar.
The three fancy pets make a jingling sound when they walk, they are so adorable.
Lin Shu sat in the middle of the three and whispered.
"You three will participate in the operation together tonight. There must be no mistakes."
"..."
The three opened their mouths wide, and their eyes were flashing with excitement!
His mouth was stretched from ear to ear, and he was just about to burst into song.
"Ba~chi~"
"Ba~chi~"
"Squeak~squeak"
The three of them licked Lin Shu's palm in their unique directions to express their gratitude.
child time.
The person who tiptoed into the stable filled the trough with grass and soybean meal, and filled the water tank on the side with hot water.
The two horses rubbed against their little master affectionately and sprayed him with kisses.
They haven't run freely for a while and they miss the thrill of galloping.
"Be good and take care of the house."
Lin Shu, dressed in nightgown, gently coaxed the horse.
The two horses nodded their heads and looked at their young master with clear eyes.
Seeing her bending over and crawling out of the dog hole, the three pets followed closely behind her.
The two horses blocked the dog hole with hay and lowered their heads to chew soybean meal.
His ears twitched smartly, and he would look around at the slightest sign of trouble.
The clear big eyes are incomparable to those of ordinary horses.
...
On the dark street, the only sound was the rustling of snowflakes falling to the ground.
In the imperial city under curfew, even stray dogs and wild cats are hard to be seen.
Heizi and Baozi are fat and strong, with Lin Shu and Luotangshu sitting on their backs.
The two walked in the dark, taking vigorous steps and leaving no trace on the snow.
With a keen sense of smell and predictable routes, he easily avoided the patrolling soldiers.
The two stopped at the side door of the Shangshu Mansion, jumped onto the wall under the cover of night, and slid down along the crooked tree beside it.
The wet rat jumped down and led the way, avoiding the servants and guards on duty.
' Master, Minister Liu has a wife and ten concubines.
The ex-wife came from a merchant family and used all her dowry to open an official career for the Shangshu.
When Liu Shangshu took the position of Shangshu, Hua Shi passed away...'
Baozi, who acted as the translator, was not soft-hearted when it came to gossip about the Shangshu Mansion.
It turned out that Shangshu Liu was a poor scholar who relied on the power of his wife's family to get promoted and make money.
Once he gained power, he disliked his wife because she was from a merchant family and forced her to death.
After he married someone else, Hua's two children were sent back to their hometown to serve their parents in his place.
After the ex-wife died, women came in one after another.
There were ten concubines alone, five of whom were daughters of merchants.
When they entered the palace, they all brought with them generous dowries.
This is also the reason why Lin Shu took this trip.
Combined with the gossip I heard, it seems that Minister Liu is not a good official.
He accepted bribes in secret and held many banquets every year.
...
The guards at the Shangshu Mansion were tight at night, but compared to the agility of the three, they were still not enough.
With a drowned rat leading the way, that means you're taking a side path.
Look, Heizi jumped onto the roof carrying Lin Shu, and a rope hung down from the air vent.
Next, it’s Lin Shu’s turn to do something.
She put Baozi and Heizi into the space, and slid down the rope with the drowned rat in her arms.
The five-meter-high beam was built in just the blink of an eye.
She stepped on a wooden box in the warehouse and took out a small flashlight covered with a black cloth.
The faint electric light flashed across the warehouse, and the full boxes occupied the entire warehouse.
Lin Shu gently opened the nearest box, and the light from the micro-electric camera dazzled her eyes.
A box full of small change was just lying there without any protection.
In line with the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed, Lin Shu took the box.
Twenty boxes of loose silver and gold.
From this we can see that Minister Liu is a cautious person.
Brocade, jewelry, precious medicinal materials, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, antiques, jade ornaments, etc., all of them are exquisite.
It can be said that it has everything, the only thing missing is large silver or gold ingots.
Lin Shu put all these things into the space, and did not let go of the small pieces of gold and silver.
Whatever its origin, now she saw it was hers.
After emptying the boxes, a piece of iron plate in the corner caught Lin Shu's attention.
There is an iron plate embedded in the bluestone slab, without even a pull ring.
Very weird.
Lin Shu touched and stepped around in the warehouse, not leaving a single inch of space untouched.
'Crack, crack, click'
Lin Shu, who was lying on the wall, heard the eerie noise and was so frightened that she pressed herself against the wall and dared not move.
I was afraid that the weapons hidden in the dark would fly out, and it would be a pity to lose my life here.
When I saw light coming out of the cave entrance, I moved over carefully.
The bright light of the night pearl poured out from the basement.
[He is indeed an old fox. ]
Lin Shu was glad that it was her who came here, if it was an ordinary person.
Even if you enter the warehouse, you would never think that the entrance to the basement is inside the warehouse.
Because no one carries a portable space like her.
The warehouse will be emptied in the blink of an eye.
Minister Liu was really good at calculating. By only losing ordinary property, he could preserve more wealth.
...
Three basements, closely adjacent to each other.
There was one room each for gold, silver, and jewelry, but not a single piece of those fancy antiques or porcelain.
There were sixty boxes of gold and silver, each box containing fifty taels, with each box containing five thousand taels.
Pearls as big as longan and various colored pigeon egg gems, thirty boxes each.
A small wooden box, when opened, was full of letters between Minister Liu and certain people.
Lin Shu received the letters as they were, knowing that there must be something fishy about them, but who to give them to was still a question.
[Tsk tsk, what a minister who knows the current situation. ]
Lin Shu happily put away the box and secretly praised Minister Liu as he was exactly to her liking.
How can this person be so honest when he has so many gold, silver and jewelry that smell of money?
However, she likes it!
...
After quietly taking away Minister Liu's private vault, Lin Shu grabbed the rope and returned the same way.
Of course, the tools used in the crime still have to be taken away.
The drowned rat called on its own kind to lead the way and emptied the private vaults of the wife and ten concubines.
The largest amount of goods in these women's private warehouses are brocades of various colors, which are even richer than the stocks of large silk shops.
Next are gold and silver jewelry, jewellery and jade, and finally calligraphy and paintings, antiques and porcelain.
The wealth of the Shangshu Mansion was completely beyond Lin Shu's imagination.
This is assuming that no house deeds or land deeds have been found, and the cash alone is worth several million taels.
With the income of a Shangshu, it would be impossible to save so much silver even if he didn't eat or drink for a hundred years.
Lin Shu had already classified the Shangshu as a corrupt official, and she simply ransacked all the kitchens in the Shangshu's mansion.
When they left, the mice who helped were generously rewarded.
Lin Shu couldn't help but be overly excited to earn such a huge amount of money for her first time as a thief.
Sitting on the black cub's back, he looked around excitedly and ran towards the next target decisively.
