Chapter 129: Setting Fire to the Ancestral Hall

If they were to hide, where could they hide? If I were the only one at home, I could do whatever I wanted. But now that I have a family, I can’t do anything I want.

Shen Ruyi thought quickly, but before she could come up with a result, Yiren came over.

Shen Ruyi asked Yiren to send her out first.

Yiren didn't say anything and flew out of the wall with Ruyi in her arms.

Shen Ruyi was really at a loss, so she asked Yiren, "Sister Yiren, do you know the way to Prince Ning's mansion? Send them to Prince Ning's mansion, they want to see the emperor."

Yes, if you want to see the emperor, it would be most appropriate to send you to Prince Ning’s mansion.

Besides, there is still some face between him and the young prince as they both make money together. If anything happens, maybe the young prince can help to mediate.

Just do it.

"I know you. I'll listen to you."

"Sister Yiren, you can send her there yourself. After that, find a secluded place with no one around to park the carriage and go home directly. I have something else to do."

"It's too dangerous for you to be outside alone."

"It's okay. I have a bunch of medicine. I'll go straight home when I'm done."

While Yiren was flying into the inner courtyard, Shen Ruyi released a carriage, a horse came out, and quickly fastened the reins.

Seeing Yiren carrying everyone onto the carriage one by one, Shen Ruyi quickly crawled into the dog hole in the wall.

Yiren looked at Ruyi who disappeared into the dog hole. It turned out that this was the reason why Ruyi asked her to check the location of the dog hole.

I see……

She didn't know whether to laugh or worry.

Forget it, let’s get rid of these hot potatoes first.

He jumped into the carriage and drove away.

After Shen Ruyi climbed in, she went straight to the outside of the ancestral hall of the Shangshu Mansion but did not enter. It was unknown whether it was a psychological effect or a real feeling.

I always feel a gust of cold wind, and an indescribable sense of eeriness, which is a bit scary.

He quickly poured white wine around the ancestral hall, and finally threw a fire starter in and lit it.

After the ancestral hall was completely burned, Shen Ruyi quickly ran out of the dog hole and left.

I looked at my watch. It was almost 9 o'clock. The palace banquet would soon be over. I had to go home quickly.

Shen Ruyi ran home quickly.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and the only pedestrians they saw was a small black shadow flashing past them.

When I looked more carefully, it had disappeared and I thought I was seeing things.

Shen Ruyi ran back without stopping and climbed over the wall from the garden.

Because the dog hole facing the outside of the house has been blocked by someone I arranged. I know it is a big loophole, so why dare I leave it open?

Not long after I got home and sat down, Yiren came in.

There is a difference between those who can do light work and those who run on two legs.

Yiren breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ruyi coming back. She was afraid that Ruyi might have encountered some danger outside, so she flew back as quickly as possible.

Shen Ruyi quickly poured a glass of water for Yiren, who took it and drank it directly, and then drank three glasses of water in succession before stopping.

"How was it, was the delivery going smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. When we got to the main gate, I was talking to the doorman when the young prince's carriage came back from the palace and ran into us. I told Xiao Ningzi and he told the doorman to drive the carriage directly into the palace without saying a word."

"What a coincidence."

"Yeah, we're really lucky. But we're both completely exposed. How to cover it up when the time comes? That's a big problem."

"Among the people here today, is there anyone you know? Or?"

"There was one person whom I had seen by chance before. I didn't know his official position, but he must have been a high-ranking official. After I went in, I asked them who he was, and one of them said he was the prefect of Huainan.

If I remember correctly, it was previously rumored that the prefect of Huainan had fled for fear of punishment for corruption, and some people also rumored that he had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Who would have thought that he would be in the dungeon of the Shangshu Mansion? I felt that this was definitely not a trivial matter, so I rescued him. "

"Yeah, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We should save him."

"Ruyi, how did you know there was a dungeon under the rockery?"

"That's what it says in the storybook, so I'm just guessing. Who knows if I could be right?"

After hearing this, Yiren nodded. Indeed, she hadn't thought of it either. She was just bored and tried it out randomly.

"Then let's sort out the land deeds, house deeds and other things we have collected, and sort out the documents and letters that may be useful." Shen Ruyi said.

"can."

"Take a break first. I'll put the things out and we can sit in the study and sort them out."

As she spoke, Shen Ruyi came to the study, put out the big sofa first, and then put out all the small boxes and cassettes that had been put away.

The two began to organize, putting the jewelry and jade together, the silver bills together, the land deeds and house deeds together, and various documents and letters together.

There were quite a few documents and letters, so Shen Ruyi specially cleared out a large box to put these in separately.

Shen Ruyi did not open these locked boxes and cassettes. She could feel what was inside by putting her hands on them.

Just let the young prince's people take this thing away. Now that it has come to this, we have no choice but to continue.

By the way, the letters and documents found from Shen Huai were also put in there.

Yi counted the banknotes twice, and after confirming that they were correct, she said, "Why is there only so little silver? There are only a little over 43 taels in total. They are a bit poor. Yang Shangshu's mansion must have taken more than this from Shen Huai's family."

"I guess he spent it as he took it." This amount does not include the amount of gold and silver ingots collected, so it is indeed not much.

Yang Huizhang was the Minister of War and the most popular person under the Empress Dowager.

After all, this position is equivalent to the modern Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission or Minister of National Defense.

This amount of money is indeed too little and a bit unacceptable.

Shen Ruyi took the land deed and looked at it herself. The thickness was much thinner than that of the official's family.

As for whether it was valuable or not, Shen Ruyi couldn't tell, and the agate that could be analyzed to determine its value was not there.

Shen Ruyi counted them, a total of 52. "There are not many deeds for land and house. So many people were killed, and so much money was embezzled. Where did it go?"

"That's right."

"Those people clearly saw that we were involved in what happened tonight. My true identity is probably not hidden from Prince Ning's Mansion and the emperor. Let me think about how to pick us out."

"Ruyi, just say it was done by some gangsters. There's no way the two of us can empty out such a big mansion, right?"

"Yes, let's talk about this. Let's say that when my mother was young, she accidentally saved a gangster.

Some time ago, the man passed by the capital and wanted to see how his former savior was doing. After checking, he found out that his savior had been murdered.

He has everything now in order to repay his gratitude. It makes sense, we are victims, just trying to survive and protect ourselves.

As for the things in Yang Shangshu's mansion, we don't know. We didn't participate in the move and we just let them do everything."

"Yes, Ruyi, if anyone asks, just say so. Anyway, we just want revenge. After all, it's the murder of our mother and brother, and that's irreconcilable."

In this era, who could have imagined that there is such a magical existence as "space".
