Chapter 567 Visiting the Government Office
At the same time Shen Ruyi entered the city, Ying Wu led some of General Tu's men towards the iron mine.
You must first get the iron ore in your hands.
The remaining people were divided into five groups, four of which guarded the city gates, intending to wait and see, so that no one would receive the news in advance and run away quietly.
A group of people waited for Shen Ruyi's signal to surround the mansion and arrest people.
This time, Shen Ruyi changed his clothes and followed Ying Jiu and Xihe into the city as a servant.
The large group of people they brought with them did not move and were waiting outside the city, including their carriages and the two masters Huang and Lu.
Otherwise, too many people might alert the enemy.
After spending a silver ingot, Shen Ruyi and his group successfully entered the city and settled down.
Look, rules are just rules, and they are only for certain people.
There is no road that cannot be opened with money and no rule that cannot be broken.
No matter how careful Shen Ruyi and his group were, they were still targeted by the people here.
Shen Ruyi hid behind the window on the second floor of the inn and saw with her own eyes that there were several groups of people following her outside the inn.
And the shopkeeper here is a bit abnormal.
The main reason is that they are one of the few outsiders, and their accents are very different from those of the locals.
They look different too, obviously taller and stronger than the locals, which makes them look very out of place.
Shen Ruyi asked Xihe and Yingjiu to continue pretending to be a young couple and go out.
After cleaning up and washing up, he took his servants to the street to attract attention.
She was planning to take some people out to visit Lord Wu's mansion.
As a result, I saw someone entering the house where I was.
She quickly jumped onto the beam and watched the waiter here skillfully look around.
I didn't find anything special, so after restoring the house to its original state, I went to other houses and searched again.
Even a waiter dared to do this. Could it be that our group had accidentally entered the lair of some organization or person?
Shen Ruyi asked the rest of the people to keep an eye on this inn to see what exactly was being done here.
Or is it just a black shop? If it is called a black shop, it is a bit hard to justify.
She went to visit the government office of Magistrate Wu alone.
After dressing up, Shen Ruyi strolled outside the residence of Magistrate Wu in broad daylight.
Then he entered the other party's house.
The scenery inside is particularly great, with a scene every few steps, which can be said to be the ultimate display of classical aesthetics.
Unfortunately, this is the government office of a traitor.
Shen Ruyi wandered around for a long time before she came to the outer study and jumped in through the open window.
After some searching, I found a lot of things and started reading them on the spot.
So much so that even when Magistrate Wu returned home, she hadn't finished reading these things.
He went straight into the space and stared outside, intending to observe this thing carefully.
See if she missed anything else or important links.
Magistrate Wu looked to be just over 1 years old, with a goatee, long cheeks and a thin figure. His height was definitely no more than 6 meters.
His triangular eyes are not big, but extremely sharp, and you can tell at first glance that he is a ruthless person.
When he spoke to the people below, he spoke very little and his voice was soft, but the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
He had dinner alone in his study and met his wife and two sons during the meal.
The rest of the time he is busy with official duties, and people who don't know him might think he is a diligent and people-loving person.
Around nine o'clock, someone came to report, "Master, those outsiders who came into the city today didn't do anything else.
I went out shopping and bought a lot of rouge, powder, beautiful clothes and so on.
I had dinner outside, watched some street circus and just went back home.
The innkeeper at Xinglong Inn replied that they had checked the rooms these people were staying in and hadn't found anything amiss.
Xia Ran just thought she had moved into Lord Wu’s lair.
Finally, I heard Magistrate Wu say: "Okay, I got it.
Tell their boss that things are getting tense lately, so it’s better for their master to stay away.
Let’s wait until this storm has passed.”
"Yes, sir," the man withdrew.
After getting the result he wanted, Magistrate Wu went to the backyard to sleep.
Shen Ruyi left the space and followed Magistrate Wu. She saw him enter the courtyard of a concubine's room and live a colorful nightlife.
She left here and began to wander around the mansion.
It mainly depends on whether there are other special places.
After searching for a while, I finally found a tunnel in a study.
I thought it was a place where treasures were hidden, but ended up going all the way to the magistrate's wife's bedroom.
And he was forced to listen to the intense, ground-shaking exercise.
The big bed kept creaking.
I thought to myself that the magistrate's wife was the most transparent person. She enjoyed herself every night just like her husband, which was good and fair.
It’s not that Shen Ruyi approves of cheating, but she thinks that if men can do it, women should be able to do it too.
Otherwise it would be too unfair and too disadvantageous.
As a result, after waiting for the clouds and rain to stop and chatting with the people on the bed, they found out that the people lying on the bed were their eldest son Wu Minglu and his step-wife Qin Yueru.
It turned out that the two of them had already fallen in love with each other and were just about to propose marriage.
In the end, Wu Minglu was snatched away by his own father.
Of course, this is also something that the girl's family strongly supports.
Marrying the magistrate's eldest son is not as reliable and promising as marrying the magistrate himself.
Both sets of parents were very satisfied with this matter, except for the couple.
But who cares about their opinions?
For Qin Yueru, marrying an old man has many side benefits and it brings her face.
But no matter how many additional benefits she received, they could not alleviate the fact that she was alone in an empty house.
What's more, Magistrate Wu has more than thirty concubines, and the number is still increasing.
Magistrate Wu only cared about Qin Yueru for a few days when she first got married, and then he forgot about her.
Slowly, Qin Yueru shifted her gaze and attention away from Magistrate Wu.
Showing up at dinner in the evening was just a pretense to make sure whether this person would come back to the backyard.
After knowing the news he wanted, he left.
Besides, the skin that Magistrate Wu shed is no match for his young and lively eldest son.
Hence all this happened today.
The two of them were in a sweet relationship and secretly cursed Magistrate Wu, calling him an old immortal.
Call him a shameless person for stealing a woman from his own son.
This pair of star-crossed lovers were separated.
The tone of voice between the two people was so disgusting that it formed a sharp contrast with the cursing, as if they were cursing an unrelated outsider.
These people still know how to play.
Shen Ruyi almost laughed out loud.
I think I can start with these two people when interrogating them in the future, and it should be effective.
After the two men finished expressing their true feelings to each other, Wu Minglu put on his clothes and prepared to leave.
The stepmother tried to persuade him to stay overnight, but Wu Minglu refused on the grounds that it was unsafe.
Then the two of them kept pulling and tugging at each other for a while, and only then did Wu Minglu enter the tunnel and officially leave with Qin Yueru's reluctance.
We agreed to come back tomorrow night.
After watching the whole show, Shen Ruyi also left.
As a result, Wu Minglu came out of the tunnel and went straight into his wife's room to continue paying public grain.
Oh, this is the man.
Just now, I was so in love with that person, so inseparable, I wanted to marry him/her right then and there, but now it turns out like this...
It looks like the stepmother is really moved.
This man must be using his step-wife to achieve some of his own goals.
But never mind her, she was just there to watch the show.
After taking a look around, Shen Ruyi didn't find any problems in other places in the mansion.
I came to the courtyard where Magistrate Wu had entered. The lights were off and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.
Finally, I came to the study and reunited with my people.
Ying Jiu had been waiting for a long time, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Ruyi return safely.
"Our people captured a foreigner in the inn where we were staying. He should be a master, about twenty years old, with some small braids on his head.
The shopkeeper there treated the man with great respect, calling him "Master."
"Yes, very good. Have you taken the medicine?"
“They used a lot of muscle softening powder and arrested the shopkeeper, the waiter, and the others.
When I came over, they were interrogating the waiter."
"Yes, that's fine. Keep looking for something."
Finally, the two of them conducted another thorough search, but they still couldn't find the secret room. Could it be that their thinking was wrong?
He sold so many weapons, where should he put the money?
Finally, Shen Ruyi visited the large warehouse in the prefectural government again, but still couldn't find a large amount of silver. This was unacceptable.
After much deliberation, I decided to start with Wu Minglu.
He asked Yingjiu to drag the thing off the bed and out of the house, find a remote place, and threaten and deal with it.
After almost kicking the other person's little brother to pieces, the man finally mentioned a place.
It is a separate courtyard, hidden very secretly, and no one else knows about it.
"He seldom comes here, only once every few days, and he doesn't stay long each time.
I don't know what's here specifically, but he values it very much and guards it very strictly."
The only way Wu Minglu knew this was because he got information from Qin Yueru, and then he followed his biological father several times to find out the place.
"Okay, lead the way. If you want to live, just lead the way. If you miss, you can do as you please," Shen Ruyi said as he fed him a pill.
Wu Minglu wanted to vomit it out, but Ying Jiu pushed it a few times and the medicine successfully slipped into Sangzi.
Ying Jiu threatened: "If you want to successfully obtain the antidote, then be honest. We only want money and nothing else."
"Okay, I'll be obedient and lead the way."
When he successfully reached the outskirts of the villa, he knocked Wu Minglu unconscious and threw him against the wall.
Judging from the breathing, there are quite a few people guarding here.
Shen Ruyi and Ying Jiu each took an antidote, then stood at the upper entrance and began to sprinkle the medicine inside.
After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of things hitting the ground.
Feeling that the time was about right, he dragged Wu Minglu into the villa.
The two of them looked around and started searching.
It doesn't look very good from the outside, but it's surprisingly big inside.
I slowly found my way to the main courtyard at the back, and found that there were people living there.
The night lights outside were on, and there were many servants and guards guarding.
Shen Ruyi and Ying Jiu acted at the same time and solved all the problems.
The two men spread medicine as they walked, and finally entered a bedroom. A girl who was keeping watch was sitting under the bed.
It turned out that he was just dozing off, but now he was soundly asleep under the effect of the medicine.
There was a young man sleeping on the bed, he looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Is this the concubine that Magistrate Wu has kept?
It doesn't make sense. It's impossible for Magistrate Wu, with his ugly face, to give birth to such a handsome young man.
It seems that this matter is becoming more and more interesting, and more and more complicated.
The two began to search again, and after some effort, they found a few letters, which were stamped with the seal of King Pingxi.
This matter is a bit complicated. The fiefdom of King Pingxi is a bit far from here.
How is it related to this, or is it that Magistrate Wu’s real master is the King of Pingxi.
But they didn't find any information about King Pingxi in Magistrate Wu's study.
Or was it Wu Minglu who deliberately pointed to the location of King Pingxi and caused him to fight with King Pingxi.
But no matter what, it is very abnormal for the King of Pingxi to appear here.
"Keep looking."
"Yes."
Finally, several letters and several account books were found, all of which recorded the sale of weapons and the inflow and outflow of silver in great detail.
Judging from the handwriting, it was recorded by one person, and it seems more like a record of what he did in daily life.
It was confirmed that the man on the bed was the third son of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion, who was specifically keeping an eye on the situation here.
Prefect Wu did indeed obey the orders of King Pingxi.
It seems that this time she is really going to break the sky here.
Put these evidences away first.
Let Yingjiu continue to keep an eye on this place while she looks for tunnels and secret rooms here.
Finally, Shen Ruyi found the secret room and tunnel in an inconspicuous rockery.
There were a lot of weapons and silver piled up inside, 64 boxes of weapons and more than 40 boxes of silver.
Shen Ruyi reached the exit of the tunnel as quickly as possible, which was outside the city.
Moreover, the tunnel is very spacious and can accommodate a carriage.
After figuring out what was going on, he wrote a message in a very concise manner, released the chubby dad from the space, and asked it to deliver the message.
The officials must be mentally prepared for this matter.
Judging from what we have seen so far, it is obvious that the King of Pingxi has other thoughts.
As far as she knew, the King of Pingxi was just a branch of the royal family, and was crowned king purely based on his own military achievements.
As a result, it became like this after only two generations.
As expected, the position of a prince is not easy to hold, and it is easy to develop ambitions.
Shen Ruyi sent a signal and attracted the nearest group of people.
Leave some people to guard this exit and continue to wait.
A few people were also sent to call for help. Since there was a ready-made passage into the city, there was no need to go through the main gate and alert the enemy.
And she led the others directly into the tunnel.
After coming up, he ordered people to take over the entire villa as quickly as possible.
All the unconscious people were brought together and put under unified custody.
Just as the sky began to turn light, another group of people who were nearby arrived.
"Go, send some men to the siege and capture the people. Also, send a signal for the rest of the people to enter the city.
The remaining people took over the four city gates, allowing only entry but not exit.
Anyone who breaks in by force will be killed without mercy.
Don't forget the Li and Chen mansions. Bring all the prisoners here for trial; it's spacious."
"Yes."
