With an unexplained purpose, Zhai Yuecheng was stunned by Jin Shichu who shamelessly waited until dusk at Jin's house before slowly going home.
"Brother Zhai, why are you here? Aren't you busy today?" Jin Shichu asked in surprise when he saw Zhai Yuecheng as soon as he got off the carriage.
Zhai Yuecheng said quickly: "I've been busy lately, so I just wanted to come and see the teacher and you. I didn't expect you weren't at home."
"I went out to play." Jin Shichu said with a bright smile.
Zhai Yuecheng looked at her dressed in neat men's clothes, with her head tied into a ponytail. She was full of vitality, like a tall and straight bamboo. He was suddenly fascinated and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Jin Xiangrong finally couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily to Zhai Yuecheng: "What are you doing here? My family doesn't lack you as a doorkeeper."
Zhai Yuecheng suddenly blushed, looked at Jin Shichu, and said, "Junior sister, where did you go to play? If you go out again, can you call me? I haven't been out for a while..."
"You brat! Didn't you tell me before that you were going to retreat to prepare for the examination? Now you still want to go out for fun?!" When Jin Xiangrong heard what he said, he was so angry that he opened his eyes and blew his beard, "I think you just don't have good intentions!"
Zhai Yuecheng:...
For a moment he forgot what he had said, and he touched his nose guiltily.
When Jin Shichu saw him like this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Senior brother, it's not that I won't take you to play with me. You have to study in seclusion and take the imperial examination. If I abduct you to play with you, I won't be able to play with you." What will you do if your exam is delayed?"
After she said that, she stopped paying attention to him. Zhai Yuecheng looked at her figure getting further and further away and sighed in despair.
When he turned around, he saw Jin Xiangrong staring at him eagerly, so he quickly calmed his eyes and pretended to be a gentleman.
Jin Xiangrong snorted and drove him back to the academy.
After that, Zhai Yuecheng went into seclusion to study, but Jin Shichu still occasionally received small gifts from him, such as hairpins carved by himself, a newly acquired travel book, snacks sold on North Street...
He was stunned to show his presence in front of Jin Shichu again and again, so that Jin Xiangrong could not do anything to him, because this man was very good at finding every opportunity to please Jin Shichu.
They are preparing for exams and having fun, while the protagonist is preparing to find someone to "rob the rich and give to the poor".
Because Wei Ning's previous injury was too serious, they had to live frugally for a period of time so that Weining could recover from his injuries. However, the money they had on hand was used up too quickly before Wei Ning's injuries could be completely healed. After recovering, the money ran out, so Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing had to advance their plans.
They carefully selected the family of a very wealthy official as their target.
Xiao Ruqing is the heroine after all, and she is quite smart. She does not blindly inquire about the rich families in the capital, but quietly blends into the crowds of knights, beggars, and servants to listen to their gossip about the big shots in the capital. After information integration, a lot of useful information was successfully obtained.
Tao Qian was their chosen target.
After all, the crime was committed in the capital, and Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing did not dare to underestimate the enemy. The two discussed a series of plans and planned to cooperate with each other. One would go in to "get the property", and the other would be responsible for guarding and watching.
Wei Ning was the one on guard, while Xiao Ruqing was the one "looking for money." They chose a dark and windy night to act.
Tao Qian was a minor official in the capital, but his family was very wealthy, so even though he had a small official position, he lived a very luxurious life. His house was luxurious and splendid, and he had a lot of concubines. The female family members bought a lot of jewelry on weekdays. At first glance, There is no shortage of money.
Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing changed into night clothes and arrived at Tao Qian's house under the cover of darkness.
They infiltrated very smoothly. After all, they were from the world and had been traveling for a while. Their skills were not comparable to those of ordinary people. Sneaking into the home of such a small official was easy. The guards were like paper and unreliable at all.
It was already midnight, and the Tao family had already gone to bed, so there was silence. After the two sneaked in, they headed towards the warehouse.
It's just that they didn't get the distribution drawing of Tao's house in advance, and they didn't know where the warehouse was. They searched for a long time without a clue. In desperation, Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing decided not to look for the warehouse, but to look for Tao Qian's study, because The men of many wealthy families in the capital are accustomed to putting important things in their studies. If the Tao family is so rich, Tao Qian must have put a lot of good things in his study, right?
The study room was much easier to find than the warehouse, so they quickly found Tao Qian's study room. After entering, they found that the study room was magnificently decorated. There were gold and jade bottles, precious antiques, treasures, and bookcases on the Duobao Pavilion. There are also several large banknotes and land deeds hidden inside...
"I don't want the land and house deeds, I just need a banknote." Weining said softly to Xiao Ruqing.
"Okay!" Xiao Ruqing also knew that it was difficult to get the land deed and the house deed. It was too troublesome to get rid of it. It would be easier to just get the banknote.
"Do you want to take these things away?" Xiao Ruqing pointed to the things in Duobao Pavilion.
Weining paused for a moment. Although he was born in the world of martial arts, he also knew that some rare antiques were worth thousands of gold. Even people from the world of martial arts would not be able to resist buying them up if they saw them.
At this moment, he happened to see a very beautiful white jade pipe in Duobao Pavilion. It was crystal clear, exquisite and cute, and must be worth a lot of money. And it just so happened that his father, Wei Shouyi, the current owner of Wanqu Villa, liked to collect all kinds of things. Planting pipes.
"Get some precious ones, small ones that are easy to carry..." Wei Ning whispered to Xiao Ruqing while quickly putting away the small and beautiful white jade pipe.
Xiao Ruqing didn't want to give in. She took a fancy to an ancient gold-inlaid jade mirror the size of an adult's palm, which was exquisite and exquisite, so she took it away without ceremony.
"It's time to go, don't waste time..." Wei Ning said and left Tao Qian's study, carefully paving the way ahead.
However, I don't know if their luck ran out. As soon as they came out of the study, they were discovered.
"Who?!" A rough voice sounded in the silent night, immediately attracting the attention of the guards patrolling the Tao family at night.
"Let's go!" Wei Ning's heart tightened and he quickly said to Xiao Ruqing. He himself tried his best to escape from the Tao family. As long as they left the Tao family, their chances of escaping would be much higher.
But they were disappointed. The man who discovered them was very skilled in martial arts. He came to the two of them almost instantly and started fighting with them.
"What a thief! How dare you break into Tao's house at night!" The man sneered and attacked them without hesitation. Wei Ning was almost unable to parry with such sharp moves.
