Chapter 73: Robbery and Planting
"That's good, 530 taels of silver. Since this dog official dares to ask for it, we dare to give it to it. Brother Yue doesn't. There are always people in Wangwu County. I wonder if there are any bullies and chaebols in the countryside who are unkind for wealth and are rampant?" Zhu Li narrowed her eyes slightly and asked calmly.
As soon as this said, Yue Pengju was stunned and hurriedly said, "Do you want to do the matter of robbing the rich and helping the poor and punishing bullies?"
"Hahaha, Zhu is just thinking about this. It's perfect for getting the heroes to rescue him for ill-gotten gains." Zhu Li did not deny it and admitted with a laugh.
This idea is good. Yue Pengju and Tan Erhu looked at each other, with a flash of light in their eyes, but they were always straight and honest, so they would not think about this.
But Zhu Li is different. He comes from later generations and his thoughts are naturally more relaxed.
Besides, he is now a native of Shuozhou. After finishing his work, he patted his butt and left. Even if these local gentry and elders found clues in the future, they could still settle the score with Zhu Li. If they gave them courage, they would not dare.
"It's not too late to do this. Brother Yue knows the situation of Wangwu more than me, so Brother Yue will choose the partner. I'll take care of it." Zhu Li said without any fear. Now he confirmed that Yue Pengju is Yue Fei's reincarnation. Yang Zaixing's identity is probably inseparable. After all, this name is very distinctive, and not everyone will name it like this.
The plan was decided, and Yue Pengju did not hesitate and took Zhu Li down the mountain that day. Of course, he went to check out the site. Yue Pengju joined the army as a county, but how many major things can a county do in such a battle? Although he joined the army, most of the people dealing with rascals and gangsters in his daily official duties, so he naturally became familiar with their tricks.
Soon Yue Pengju appointed a wealthy man from Wangwu. The head of the family was named Wang Doujin. Wang Doujin was originally just a dilapidated residence in Wangwu County, and even once lived in the market and was idle.
But he had a good fortune. One of his uncles was named Wang Zhongxian. He entered the palace as a eunuch in his early years. He became a fortune when Emperor Xizong was in power, which made Wang Doujin quickly rise up.
Even when Kang Shi was the governor of Xuanwu, he did not dare to touch him easily. He would not provoke him for no reason, so this person in Wangwu County was rampant and lawless.
Fortunately, people here have no talent and have no ambitions. They only know that they are greedy for money and are rampant in the village, making people with huge wealth, but they are not worth a penny to the villagers.
The courtyard of Wang Doujin's family was adjacent to the street entrance, just next to a restaurant. Yue Pengju took Zhu Li to the second floor of the restaurant, chose a seat by the window, and sat down. He called the doctor to serve two dishes and a pot of wine. He waved his hand to send the doctor away, and looked at the window and carefully observed the layout of the Wang Mansion. (Doctor: the name of the waiter in the Tang Dynasty.)
The layout of the royal palace is somewhat like Zhu Li in the governor's mansion in Shuozhou. It is located in the south and north, with three sets of cottages. The location of the treasury is probably in the inner courtyard, but after a day of observation, the specific location is not found.
This made Yue Pengju look very embarrassed. After all, it is serious to get the money early and redeem Yang Zaixing and the Song family’s wife as soon as possible. Every time they delay one more day, they are always worried in private.
Now that the royal palace vault cannot be determined, it would be strange if his face looks good.
Zhu Li raised her eyebrows and thought about it.
He spoke, "Don't panic, Zhu has his own way to let them take me to the vault location."
Yue Pengju was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Is the envoy to come out?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, let me keep it aside first. After the plan is successful, you will know it. If it is said, it won't work." Zhu Li smiled confidently, "You can just pick me up outside the backyard tonight. After you get the money, go to the county magistrate Song to redeem the person."
"Okay, if the envoy successfully steals silver and helps Yue save his brother, Yue is willing to serve the envoy to die and fulfill his grace today." Yue Pengju was not vague. He had an impulse in the morning to follow Zhu Li, but he had never had the chance to speak. If Zhu Li could really steal money and rescue Yang Zaixing this time, he would naturally follow the situation and follow this, so that he could see the young governor at a glance.
"Okay, Brother Yue, let's wait and see." Zhu Li didn't refuse, and refused Yue Fei to surrender to him. Zhu Li's mind had not yet been in trouble, so she naturally wouldn't be humble. What's more, he is alone now and has no helper around him. Yue Pengju and Yang Zaixing are definitely competent thugs, and of course he can only be used as thugs now.
At night, the moon is hidden and the stars are sparse, and the earth is dark, as if the heavens are causing this.
Zhu Li and Yue Pengju came outside the wall of the backyard of the royal mansion and nodded to each other. Zhu Li rushed into the royal mansion in a flash. He observed in the darkness, first chose a servant's room, and flashed into it.
The servant's room was quite dark. Zhu Li closed the door and adapted to the darkness for a while. Then she began to observe. She saw a young servant, with crystal clear saliva, sleeping soundly on the bed like a pig, not knowing what good thing she dreamed of.
The scene was exactly what he wanted. Zhu Li tiptoed to the bed, secretly took the clothes taken off by the servant, quickly changed to himself, tidied it up for a little bit, then went out of the door, closed the door, and ran openly towards the inner courtyard.
Because he was wearing the costumes of servants in the mansion, although the night-time people felt strange, few people came forward to interrogate. However, when he arrived at the door of the backyard, he was stopped by a servant. Obviously, this person was a night watchman in the inner courtyard. Zhu Li was dressed in a servant's clothes, so she must not be a person in the inner courtyard.
The servant's face was full of flesh and opened his mouth and scolded, "What are you doing in a panic? You're too brave. You dare to break in any place. Be careful to let Alang know that you're a little monkey to death by sticking it."
Zhu Li lowered her head, pretended to be frightened, and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I don't dare to do it. But just when I was in the toilet, I found a few thieves near the cottage."
"Thieves?" The servant lady was shocked.
"Well, yes, they had somehow got into the mansion and were discussing how to steal property from the mansion, saying that they wanted to rob the Wang family's vault and present it to the newly appointed General Manager Zhu. They did not dare to neglect them, so they had to come here and prepare to tell Alang."
The servant was even more shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "There is such a thing, where is the thief?"
"I didn't see clearly below. They seemed to have all been fumbled towards the inner courtyard." Zhu Li still pretended to be timid and said tremblingly.
Hearing this, the servant lady had no patience to continue interrogating and quickly instructed: "You wait here, I'll come." Before she finished speaking, she turned around and went to the courtyard
I ran away, and it seemed that I was going to tell the person in charge of the inner court.
Zhu Li looked at the servant's panicked back, and a look of joy in her eyes of conspiracy.
Since Wang Doujin is Wang Zhongxian's relative, wouldn't it be better if he could provoke this eunuch and fight with Zhu Wen? None of them were good anyway. Although Zhu Wen was not as bad as recorded in later documents, this man had really framed him a while ago, and he didn't mind damning the other party again.
Just waited for a moment, he immediately followed and stood behind the servant, but he ran very carefully and kept keeping his body hidden into the darkness to avoid being discovered.
But in just a cup of tea, the servant lady stopped in front of a main room and said anxiously: "Alang, Madam, it's a disaster, a thief has entered the mansion and stole it."
"What?" The servant's scream immediately alarmed the people in the room. With a scream, the sound of clothes coming from the room came. It seemed that someone woke up from his dream and hurriedly got up.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the inside. A middle-aged man in a bad dress and pointed-mouthed mouth and monkey cheeks stepped out first. Behind him was a woman with a thin horse face and a thin lips, probably Wang Doujin's wife.
"Are you saying true?" Wang Doujin looked gloomy and shouted to the servant lady.
The servant bowed and said respectfully: "I dare not deceive Alang, my eldest lady, and the maid also heard from a toilet servant in the outer courtyard. He said that the thieves discussed and wanted to loot the treasury in the mansion and present it to the new General Manager Zhu, and then touched in in the inner courtyard."
"What, I want to steal my money and buy Zhu Wen, where is the servant who found the thief?" Wang Doujin frowned and asked indignantly.
The servant did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Just outside the yard, I dare not make decisions to let him come in without authorization, so I had to let him wait at the door."
"Well, I'll go and have a look." Wang Doujin thought for a while, and then decided to go and ask about the situation.
But the thin-lipped woman behind him said impatiently: "What are you looking at? It's midnight, Ah Lang, let's go to the vault to see it. As long as the vault is fine, won't you feel at ease?"
When Wang Doujin heard this, he felt it was reasonable, so he turned around and told the servant: "Go and bring that servant in to me, I'll go and see what's going on in the vault first."
"No" the servant lady responded and hurriedly ran towards the way, while Wang Doujin immediately carried the lantern and the thin-lipped woman, walking along the corridor towards the side of the main room.
When Zhu Li saw the target taking the bait, she quickly followed him quietly. Wang Doujin and his wife were circling around and finally stopped in front of an ordinary attic.
The couple looked around and found that there was nothing unusual around them. Then they reached out and took something like a necklace from their necks, took a key from above, and then opened the door. The couple hurried into the attic, stretched their heads out again, looked left and right, and then took the door on their hands and closed the door from inside.
