Chapter 1678: A Happy Ending
At the madam's command, seven or eight eunuchs rushed towards Yan Ruyu and Beibei.
Bei Bei wanted to stand in front of Yan Ruyu: "Master, go quickly."
Before he could block it, Yan Ruyu pushed him behind her with one hand, flipped her wrist, and shot out a poisonous needle hidden weapon.
In a blink of an eye, the three turtle slaves fell to the ground.
The others were unable to see clearly due to the strong light and did not see the hidden weapons. They only felt that in the blink of an eye, the three men fell to the ground and were all shocked.
The madam and Erya were also surprised.
Yan Ruyu smiled coldly: "You guys think you can take me down? Do you know what's on my head?"
"What?" the madam asked subconsciously.
"This is the fire of the sun and the light of the stars. How can you ordinary people understand it?"
Yan Ruyu even felt like laughing as she spoke.
Maybe I'm too nervous lately, so I just want to be like the abbot and talk nonsense.
This is much more labor-saving than fighting back and forth.
Bei Bei immediately agreed: "Yes, my thief saint can even steal the sunlight for his own use, let alone your little Star-Grabbing Pavilion?"
The turtle slaves looked at each other, but dared not move forward.
Yan Ruyu raised her hand and pointed at Erya: "You are not of my race, so your heart must be different. What are you doing here? Do you think that the heavens don't know what you have done?"
Erya's face changed slightly and she pursed her lips, but did not refute.
Yan Ruyu was actually just trying to trick her and give her a scare. It would be best if she could go find her accomplices afterwards.
Erya pondered for a moment: "Don't be fooled by him, he is just talking nonsense, kill them!"
Yan Ruyu sneered, raised her hand and threw something, then ran straight towards Erya.
Erya couldn't see clearly what it was and didn't dare to touch it. She picked up a wooden stick next to her and hit it with it.
Just at this moment, Yan Ruyu realized that she also had some skills.
With just this one blow, the thrown pill exploded.
A cloud of smoke rose.
The smoke filled the air and everyone was coughing and unable to open their eyes, and the place was in chaos.
Erya was shocked and quickly covered her mouth and nose, but she still inhaled some.
When the fog dissipated again, there was nothing in front of me. Where was the shadow of Yan Ruyu and Beibei?
Outside the courtyard wall, Yan Ruyu retracted the rope, and the silver ingot waiting outside also came to take over.
"Princess, are you okay?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "It's okay, you came at the right time."
She whispered a few words and Yinding nodded: "Yes."
Erya returned to the room and felt a sore and burning throat as if she had swallowed fire. She drank half a cup of tea, but it didn't help and the pain got worse.
She couldn't help but feel annoyed.
The madam was also coughing nearby, her voice hoarse: "What should we do? Should we move those people in the right yard first?"
Erya shook her head irritably: "No, we don't know where those two people came from. If they are government officials, they might be waiting for us now. If they are not government officials, we might be discovered by the government if we move."
The madam continued to cough, but secretly complained in her heart. She had already told him not to mess with that man, but he didn't know where he came from and still insisted on killing him. Now she was in a dilemma.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "There's a fire, put it out!"
The madam was so shocked that she stood up quickly and ran out to see what was going on.
Fires broke out in other courtyards, and thick smoke filled the front hall, causing the frightened guests to flee in all directions in chaos.
The madam quickly ordered people to put out the fire and keep the guests safe.
She had no idea that while things were getting chaotic here, Yan Ruyu had already reached the fourth floor.
I heard from Xiangxue before that the third floor is the rooms of the courtesans, and the fourth floor is the room of the madam.
No one can go up without permission.
Yan Ruyu didn't care and took advantage of the chaos to go to her room to collect her things.
Speaking of which, it has been a long time since they were collected. Yan Ruyu didn't have the energy to distinguish what was useful and what was useless, so she took everything away, leaving nothing behind except the doors, windows, and load-bearing walls.
The four walls are empty, so it is easy to see whether there are dark rooms or dark doors.
Sure enough, there was a secret door on the wall. When I opened it, I saw a lot of valuables inside.
Take them all away.
After cleaning up here, I went to other rooms on the fourth floor.
There are four rooms on this floor. One is for the madam, and no one knows what the others are used for. But Yan Ruyu feels that Erya’s room should also be on this floor.
She pushed open the door of the second room. There was no one inside. The furnishings were luxurious, but it didn't look like anyone lived there permanently.
Don’t worry about anything else, just take the things away first.
There is no dark room or secret compartment in this room.
The same goes for the third room.
In the last room, Yan Ruyu pushed lightly and was startled and alert.
The door was locked from the inside.
It means there is someone inside.
The next moment, the door suddenly opened and a shadow rushed out.
The speed was very fast and there was a fierce murderous intent.
Yan Ruyu had been prepared - and fortunately for her, she was not injured by the weapon in the man's hand.
But this person's movement was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, and he disappeared in an instant.
Yan Ruyu only had time to see clearly that it was probably a man, and she didn't see anything else.
She was secretly surprised, as she hadn't seen such a master for a long time.
The person was gone and there was no point in looking. Yan Ruyu turned around and went into the room.
She came suddenly, and the man must have been unprepared, and left in a hurry, so maybe there might be clues there.
This room looks like someone lives there, but it's a woman's room.
Yan Ruyu guessed that this should be Erya's room.
There are several paintings hanging on the wall. I don’t know how good their quality is, but they don’t depict scenery from the Central Plains, but more like scenery outside the Great Wall.
No matter what it is, just get rid of it first. It won’t be too late to look for it when you come back.
The entire fourth floor was empty. Yan Ruyu went down the rope from the back window with satisfaction.
The silver ingots are already there. Just wait here after the fire is set.
"Princess, I have sent someone to notify the fire brigade and the governor's mansion. Lanxing Pavilion will not be able to rest peacefully tonight."
"Very good, let's go."
They quickly withdrew.
……
Huo Changhe basically did not sleep all night. He asked several constables who had a good relationship with Constable Liu, and they all said that they did not think there was anything abnormal about him, nor did they see any strange people looking for him.
As the day dawned, more and more people appeared on the streets and the shops opened.
Xiao Chiye went to several banks in person to inquire and brought back several deposit receipts.
"Your Highness, this was found from several small banks."
Huo Changhe took it and frowned.
He counted them one by one with a gloomy face.
"Thirteen thousand taels?"
Xiao Chiye nodded: "There are three money cities, and they are small money houses. It can be seen that they have made preparations and are afraid of being discovered."
"But please make it clear, did he save it himself?"
“I asked them, but they said they couldn’t be sure because the person depositing the money was wearing a mask.”
Huo Changhe glanced at the bundle.
"Is that the mask?"
"I didn't wear a mask when I went there. I just asked them verbally and asked them to describe it in detail. What they said was exactly the same as what Li Qi said."
