Chapter 261
Chapter 261
"I'm not crazy, I'm normal, otherwise why would I ask for a room number on the third floor!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her black eyes and said, "It's just that it's not easy to go down to the third floor. It's easy to be discovered." Then she added, "Take advantage of the night and jump down silently."
"You're trying to kill yourself." Huang Zhongchang looked at her anxiously and said.
"Since you dare to do this, you must be sure. I won't joke with my life." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark eyes, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you afraid that something will happen to me?" She looked at him nervously with amusement and said, "If I die, you will be satisfied."
"What are you talking about?" Huang Zhongchang said angrily, "When have I ever hoped that you would die?"
"After I leave, you can marry three wives and four concubines, and have girls everywhere. Aren't you happy?" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have never thought about it. I am not that heartless." Huang Zhongchang looked at her angrily and said.
"Conscience?" Shen Hui'e sneered, "There are many people without conscience in this world!" She raised her lips slightly and said, "Those who want to achieve great things must not recognize their relatives."
"You mean the superior? I don't understand." Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Everyone loves beauty. I'm a man, so my thoughts are normal. But I've never had..." He quickly added, "bad thoughts."
Huang Zhongchang said anxiously, "You are still the mother of my children. I hope you are okay. Don't you want the children to be without a mother? If I really marry them a stepmother, they will have a stepfather. The children will suffer." He added anxiously, "What can you do about karma?"
"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed when she heard that, "Don't worry! I cherish my life too." She looked at him with eyes as black as jade.
"Bang bang bang..." The sound of night watchmen was heard on the street. "It's three o'clock in the morning." Shen Hui'e looked at the blue sky with twinkling stars through the window. She walked forward and blew out the candle in the room. "I'm leaving." She jumped out of the window.
"Hello!" Huang Zhongchang walked quickly to the window, but could not see anything in the darkness.
All I could hear was that the lights downstairs were still on, there were a lot of people talking, and the sound of stringed instruments and wind instruments continued.
"You didn't even tell my brother." Huang Zhongchang muttered to himself, sticking his head out of the window and looking around, "How did she do it?"
&*&
Shen Hui'e leaped onto the two-story building next to Zuixianlou and landed lightly like a cat without making any sound.
How could she take such a risk! When she stood at the entrance of Zuixianlou, she had already observed the surrounding buildings.
Apart from Zuixianlou, the most luxurious and eye-catching building in the city, the best building is the County Magistrate's Mansion.
According to the Chinese city layout, after entering the city, Shen Hui'e walked around the city and easily arrived outside the county magistrate's mansion.
"Wow! It's quite lively." Shen Hui'e listened to the music coming from the county magistrate's mansion, which was brightly lit inside, "They really know how to enjoy themselves." Thinking of the refugees living in shacks outside the city, she clenched her fists.
It was a good place to be lively! It was just the right time for her to visit the county governor's mansion at night.
This tight defense could not stop the ghostly Shen Hui'e.
Shen Hui'e avoided the brightly lit lobby.
It was impossible to have fun outdoors in the winter! The doors and windows were all tightly closed, so Shen Hui'e could not see anything from outside.
Even though she couldn't see it, she could tell from the sounds coming from inside the room what was going on.
What can an animal that thinks with its lower body expect?
Shen Hui'e found the study room, but there was not even a guard. The study room was supposed to be a sensitive area, so where were the guards?
This made Shen Hui'e doubt whether useful information could be found in the study.
And how can I find information in this dark place?
Shen Hui'e tapped her forehead lightly. What should I do?
There were lanterns hanging in the corridor, but the doors and windows were closed, so the candlelight couldn't reach into the room!
Even if you shine the light inside, you still can't see clearly!
A gust of wind blew out the lantern completely, and now there was no light at all.
Give it a try! You can't leave empty-handed when you enter the palace.
Shen Hui'e flashed into the study, and after getting used to the darkness, she could gradually see the furnishings in the room.
Shen Hui'e complained in her heart: It would be nice if there was a night-shining pearl. She rubbed her chin with her index finger. I wonder if there is a night-shining pearl in this room.
Judging from the county magistrate's greed for money, maybe it's true.
Shen Hui'e's black eyes rolled around and fixed their gaze on the shelf against the wall. She walked over quickly and took a quick look. They were all jade ornaments and only two or three brocade boxes. She opened the boxes one by one.
One of the brocade boxes, wow...it filled the room with light, emitting a bright and clear moonlight.
Shen Hui'e walked to the desk and took the bamboo slips. The words on it were clear enough, so she could just use it!
Holding a brocade handkerchief, on which were written official documents from the court, documents written on cloth.
Shen Hui'e squatted on the ground and read ten lines at a glance.
There is a lot of information! There are indeed battle reports from various places on suppressing rebel forces.
This is exactly what she needs, to know the news from the outside world, otherwise she would be like a blind person.
It took about an hour to read all the official documents that he could get his hands on.
Shen Hui'e put the things back in their places and stuffed the night pearl into her chest first. The room returned to darkness. After she got used to it, she looked around the study.
Where is the secret compartment hidden?
Shen Hui'e felt around the wall but couldn't find the secret compartment.
No? Her feet gently rubbed the wooden floor.
Shen Hui'e lay on the wooden floor, tapping it gently. Suddenly she remembered the place under the desk and quickly crawled over.
Shen Hui'e tapped lightly on the floor with her fingers. It was solid, with no secret compartments.
Hmm... Shen Hui'e's black eyes rolled around, and her sight finally fixed on the brocade cushion beside the desk. She moved it away, and knocked it softly, "da da..."
Shen Hui'e's eyes lit up when she heard the voice, "It's empty." After rubbing it for a while, she pried open the wooden board, took out the night pearl, and saw the brocade box inside.
"What is hidden so carefully?" Shen Hui'e opened the brocade box, took out the brocade inside, spread it on the ground, looked at the words on it, and was stunned!
Shen Hui'e swallowed her saliva, then looked at the brocade box, and found other brocades inside. The more she looked, the more frightened she became.
"Ya Ya! This guy is even braver than me." Shen Hui'e quickly folded the silk along the original creases and put it back as it was.
The brocade box was closed, the wooden board was restored to its original shape, and the futon was dragged over in its original shape.
Shen Hui'e put the night pearl back into the brocade box and put it back in its original place. Her ears moved slightly and the sound of footsteps came.
There was no time to get out, so he jumped onto the shelf.
She wanted to jump onto the beam, but she couldn't get up because of the suspended ceiling!
This is retribution in this life!
Shen Hui'e lay on the shelf, pressed against the wall, holding her breath, watching the swaying lights outside.
It really looks like a will-o'-the-wisp, floating around.
"Look, it's pitch black, there's nothing there, let's go back!"
"Go and have a look. Go and have a look."
"What are you looking at? The study is the only important place in this area."
"I came to check it out just because it's a study. If something goes wrong, it could be a life-threatening situation."
"Who would come to the study? There is no gold or silver in the study. There is nothing to steal."
"There is no gold or silver, or anything that the master values, otherwise the study would not allow anyone to enter easily!"
"You can't even read when you go in!"
"Anyone who comes to the study to steal must be able to read, otherwise why would he come to the study? There are official documents between the adults in here."
"What's the use of official documents? Even if we know how to read, it's useless to us."
"Go check it out, it's so reassuring."
"Where is the light? You have bad eyesight!"
"No! I'm sure there is light here, it's green."
"You're talking about the will-o'-the-wisp, right? It's the kind that comes from the graves of the dead."
"Dead man..." His teeth chattered, "Last month, the master beat Mo Yan, who was serving beside him, to death in the study."
"Ah! Could it be that he is back?"
"Don't scare me. I can't stand being scared."
"Let's go back! Look, it's pitch black, there's not even a cat or a dog."
"We're already at the door, let's take a look."
Shen Hui'e looked at the two shadowy figures outside the door. They were really close.
"Want to go in?"
"The study is a restricted area. We are not qualified to enter."
"So what are we going to see?"
"This study is dark. There is no light."
"Where are the guards! The study is an important place, where are the guards here!"
"I guess he went to drink again."
"We are both guards, but they are really different from us."
You're still complaining about this, Shen Hui'e complained in her heart.
"Since there is no light, let's go back!"
"I think we should wait until the guards come back before we leave!"
Damn it, she ran into two dedicated guards and was blocked in the study. Shen Hui'e was filled with anger.
"Let's go! Otherwise, when the guards come back, they will say that we are trying to please the master. The guards will resent us, and we must be careful in the mansion from now on."
Right, right, right! Be careful of being bullied. Shen Hui'e urged in her heart, Go quickly! Go quickly.
"We have to guard it even if they hate us. I believe that you are wise."
Shen Hui'e was so angry that she fell backwards and stroked her forehead. How could she meet such a stubborn guy?
What should I do?
"Meow……"
The cat's cry is particularly abrupt and scary in the silent night.
"Ah!" The two of them shuddered in fear, "What?"
"I was so scared, it turned out to be a cat's meow!"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Meow……"
"Woooo..."
"Whoosh..."
"Ow..."
"Ah! This is a cat fight!"
"It really scared me to death."
Shen Hui'e listened to the two cats fighting. The fight became more and more intense, and the noise became louder and louder. It felt like it was right above her head.
"Gulu..." The cat rolled on the roof and fell off.
Bang.
"Ah! What's that sound?"
"Have a look."
"Meow!" The cat screamed and pounced on the face of the guard who was leaning his head to investigate.
"Ouch...my face."
"Get rid of it."
"Ah! It hurts me so much."
"Let go of the dead cat, let go."
"Hurry up and save me, save me."
"Bang bang bang..."
In a panic, the guard dropped the lantern in his hand to the ground and it went out completely.
