The courtyard door opened, and Governor Song quickly walked into Magistrate Ye's study. He saw that the study was empty, with not a single piece of furniture.

"Damn girl, how on earth did you empty out the study?"

Governor Song gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard.

All the rooms were empty, not even a piece of paper or thread was left.

He really doubted that if these houses could be moved, Ye Jintang could demolish them.

"Mother Zhao, do you know when Ye Jintang moved? Why didn't I receive any news?"

Aunt Zhao, who was following Governor Song closely, was also shocked and speechless by what she saw.

"Sir, as soon as the sun went down yesterday, Miss Ye drove the old slave out of the yard. When the old slave left, the yard was in good condition and no one came to move things."

"I came here early this morning and met Mr. Song."

Hearing what Aunt Zhao said, Governor Song's eyes flashed fiercely. It seemed that the damn girl had other plans for a long time. The reason why she said she would give him an answer early this morning was probably just delaying time.

Governor Song had been up and down in the officialdom for more than 20 years. He had never seen any tricks, but today he fell into Ye Jintang's hands. He was so depressed that he almost exploded on the spot.

"Now let me check where Ye Jintang stayed and where the things moved from the government office were put."

"Yes, I'll go check it out now."

When Aunt Zhao saw Governor Song looking like he was about to eat someone, she was so frightened that she ran away, fearing that if she ran a little slower, she would be angered by Governor Song.

Governor Song and Magistrate Ye had worked together for many years, and they vaguely knew that Magistrate Ye had a large amount of shady money in his hands.

He was thinking in his mind that Magistrate Ye died in a hurry and left nothing behind. He would definitely not be able to tell Ye Jintang about the money.

In other words, Ye Jintang moved away, but the money was still hidden in the backyard.

There is also the account book he has been looking for, maybe it is hidden with the money.

This matter should not be made public. Governor Song searched house by house slowly.

When he accidentally knocked on the floor tiles in the study room and heard a dull echo coming from below, Governor Song, who had been grim-faced just now, immediately beamed with joy.

As he expected, the things were hidden in the study.

It's just that the study room is empty at the moment, and it doesn't look like there is an institution.

Governor Song knelt on the ground and touched almost every floor tile, but could not find the mechanism to open the darkroom.

Naturally, Governor Song would not give up such a large sum of money easily.

He went home and called his younger brother and uncle.

The three of them took their tools and started digging in the study room.

Since he couldn't find the mechanism, he dug through the dark room. No matter how deep the money was hidden, he would dig it out.

All three of them had never done much physical work. They were digging the foundation with pickaxes. In less than an hour, the three of them sat on the ground tiredly.

"Brother, are you sure there is money hidden underneath?"

"Of course, many things happened to Magistrate Ye through my hands. I naturally know that he has saved a sum of money that cannot be exposed. As long as we find it, it will be ours. Even if the people from Danyang Houfu come, they can't find it. Our trouble."

Governor Song is still very confident about this.

"Okay, let's work harder and dig down quickly before anyone knows."

The three of them knew very well that if people in the Danyang Hou Mansion knew about this, they would have to spit out all the money they had gained.

It's a pity that Ye Jintang was one step ahead of them and took away the money last night. Their plan was destined to be in vain.

When Ye Jintang returned from the government office, Lu Zhu had already cleaned the house and was about to go out to buy groceries.

"Luzhu, please be safe."

Ye Jintang saw Luzhu carrying a large vegetable basket and couldn't help but remind her.

"Don't worry, sir. When I went out just now, I saw many government officials patrolling the streets. There shouldn't be any trouble."

"Well, you go back as soon as possible. Don't stay on the street too long."

"yes."

Luzhu left with the basket. She was so busy running around that she didn't bother to ask when the furniture was moved.

Ye Jintang took a look inside the Immortal Mansion and saw a patch of ginseng growing in the farmland. Each ginseng plant had bright red seeds, which was very beautiful.

"Is this mature or immature?"

Ye Jintang couldn't understand for a while.

After a while, she went into the space again and saw that all the ginseng seeds had fallen.

She thought to herself that if ginseng blooms and produces one kind of flower, should it be counted as one year or two years?

As long as she doesn't dig it out, the ginseng will continue to grow and bear fruit in the fairy mansion.

Ginseng that is several decades old is not very valuable in the market, but it becomes valuable after a hundred years.

She is not in a hurry to use the farmland in the Immortal Mansion now, just let the ginseng grow there slowly.

"Girl, girl, I heard something outside."

Luzhu rushed into the house happily carrying a large basket of vegetables and meat.

"call?"

"Ah, sir."

Lu Zhu smiled sheepishly and continued quickly, "I was at the vegetable market just now. I heard the aunts selling vegetables talking about how Governor Song broke his leg in the government office. There are several people in the city right now. All the famous doctors were invited to treat Governor Song."

"Oh, is Governor Song the only one who broke his leg?"

"And Governor Song's brother seems to have broken his arm and coughed up blood."

"It's strange to say that there is no big hole in the government office. How could they fall so hard? Could it be that they climbed the big tree in the government office to dig out bird eggs and fell?"

Seeing Lu Zhu's serious look, Ye Jintang couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"It's very possible that they mixed it with bird eggs."

"Luzhu, I'm hungry. What are you going to do for lunch?"

Ye Jintang glanced at the green beads basket, which contained several fresh vegetables, a chicken and a piece of meat.

"I was just talking and joking. I almost forgot about the serious business. Master, please wait a moment. I'm going to cook now."

Luzhu has a very lively temperament. She comes in a hurry and runs away as quickly as possible.

Ye Jintang took advantage of Luzhu's cooking time to take a look at all the houses, shops and properties left by Magistrate Ye and his wife.

The quantity of these things was quite large, so she had to get rid of them quickly.

In the afternoon, she went to take a look at the most valuable silver building, which was the dowry left by her mother.

"Sir, let's eat."

"My servant is clumsy and can only cook two dishes. Master, please don't dislike my servant."

Luzhu carefully placed the fried beans with meat, fried chicken with chili and a bowl of rice on the table.

The two dishes looked delicious, delicious, and delicious.

Lu Zhu put down the dishes and stood aside to wait for Ye Jintang to eat lunch.

Although Ye Jintang was a billionaire female CEO in her previous life and had dozens of people waiting on her, she still didn't need others to stand in front of her when eating.

"Luzhu, you go and eat. I can eat by myself."

"yes."

Luzhu bowed and turned to the kitchen for lunch.

Ye Jintang was just about to use her chopsticks when she remembered something. She didn't seem to have given any money. How did she buy these vegetables?

Ye Jintang came to the kitchen and saw Lvzhu holding a coarse-grain steamed bun in his hand and eating it with some dried radish.

"Luzhu, go get the bowl. I'll eat rice and meat. You can eat rice and meat with me."

Ye Jintang's words were so loud that Luzhu was stunned on the spot.

"You silly girl, you don't think that if we move out of the government office, we will have no money left."

Ye Jintang opened the pot and saw it was empty. Luzhu made a bowl of rice?

"Sir, Luzhu is fine. You can also fill your stomach by eating whole-grain steamed buns."

Looking at the poor Lu Zhu, Ye Jintang couldn't laugh or cry. Lu Zhu was so stupid that it made people feel distressed.
