After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Chapter 180 Night Visit to Xie Mansion

Late at night, the sky and the earth were shrouded in darkness, like giants with strange shapes.

The autumn wind was blowing, the dim lanterns were swaying gently, and the firelight was flickering.

Jiang Hao was dressed in night clothes and had a veil on her face. She entered Xie's house quietly.

Prefect Xie did not follow the path of an honest official who was close to the people. The number of servants in Xie's mansion was ten times that of Jiang Huaiqing's mansion.

Magistrate Xie has money, and Madam Xie has even more money.

In this case, who would put themselves in a difficult position?

Qin lay on the bed. The wound on her buttocks had gradually healed, but the wound in her heart would never heal.

The maid Bizhu served by her side, counting the silver bills for her one by one, then carefully counting them and putting them in a wooden box.

These banknotes were obtained after Qin's Yahang sold the shop. All of them must be given to Xie Mingyuan, not a single one will be left.

Qin wanted to cry when she saw the banknotes, but since Xie Shian's death, her tears had long dried up and she only felt a sore and swollen pain in her eyes.

Bizhu closed the box and said, "Madam, there are seven thousand two hundred and eighty taels in total."

The property was sold too hastily, and the real estate agent deliberately lowered the price, so several shops in certain locations were only sold for this small amount.

In the past, if anyone offered her this price to buy the shop, she would have slapped them twice.

Qin felt like crying again. She slowly closed her eyes and said, "Put it there for now. We'll send it to the master tomorrow."

Qin's heart was bleeding.

Bizhu responded quickly and then put the box in the closet.

After she closed the door of the closet, she said to Qin: "Madam, it's late at night. I will help you go to bed."

……

After Jiang Hao sneaked into Xie's house, he first avoided everyone and went into the front yard.

In the study, the lights are brightly lit.

Jiang Hao sneaked up to the roof and gently pushed the tiles open a little bit. Looking down from the gap between the tiles, Xie Mingyuan was sitting at the top, and two middle-aged men were sitting on both sides of the bottom.

Among them, there are several large boxes.

Jiang Hao is very familiar with this kind of big box, and she has many of them in her space.

It seems that Xie Mingyuan and his team have got the money again.

Could he really collect 1.5 million taels of silver in just one month?

If Xu Zhao hadn't run to Jiang Hao and let the cat out of the bag, Jiang Hao wouldn't have known that their reasons for not arresting these corrupt officials were so outrageous.

However, there is a reason for being outrageous.

Perhaps, His Majesty just wants these people's money.

"Sir, now that Xie has given up protecting you, what are you going to do?"

At the beginning, when Xie gave them silver as a token of filial piety, they did not have a lot of reasons to refuse.

People always seek benefits and avoid harm.

Although Xie Mingyuan was angry, he also felt extremely lucky: "You two came back late and didn't know that Madam had already agreed to lend me a hand."

"really?"

"Of course, what's in front of me is what Madam sent me two days ago."

The two looked at the large wooden box in front of them and knew what was inside.

"In that case, the two of us will take our leave first."

After Xie Mingyuan and the other two left, he also left the study, yawning and went to sleep next door.

Jiang Hao finally got the chance and slipped in.

When I opened the box, there were indeed large white ingots inside.

Jiang Hao put the box into the space without thinking, and then searched around the study, collecting all the valuable calligraphy and paintings and ornaments on the antique shelf.

Later, while rummaging through the desk, Jiang Hao found a letter from Jiang Huaiqing to Xie Mingyuan in a book.
