"Who?" Chu Jihan suddenly spoke, and Su Ningxin reflexively stood up, holding the knife in a defensive stance. Where was anyone?
Chu Jihan was shocked by Su Ningxin's sudden action, with question marks above his head. What happened?
Then Chu Jihan saw Su Ningxin looking at him with a mournful expression, 【was this dog thing toying with me? There's no one there.】
Chu Jihan pretended that he didn't know anything, averted his gaze, and silently swallowed his saliva. Fortunately, his tone didn't carry too much excitement and surprise, or it would be difficult to explain.
Learn from this, and be more careful in the future, and don't let people discover that he can read minds.
The matters here had already been resolved, and both people didn't stay long. They went to the warehouse to see how Lian Sheng and the others were moving the tea leaves.
When leaving, Su Ningxin silently mourned for the soldiers in the room for three seconds. They would not only find their faces covered with footprints when they woke up tomorrow, but they would also find that they had slept with a dead person for a night.
How pitiful, but what did this have to do with her? Su Ningxin spread her hands and then resolutely left without even looking back.
On the other side, Lian Sheng and Shuangbai had already moved most of the things with the Secret Guards. The Tea Transport Department's warehouse was relatively remote, and because it was heavily guarded, ordinary Common People didn't dare to approach. This led to the fact that after the soldiers were drugged, Lian Sheng and the others opened the Main Gate and moved the tea openly without anyone noticing.
Seeing Chu Jihan coming over, Lian Sheng hurried forward and said, "Young Master's guess was indeed correct. The amount of Official Tea here is twice the amount stipulated by the Imperial Court. After we move half of it away, it will still be enough for the Tea Horse Trade for some Days."
Lian Sheng's eyes were shining as he spoke. He wanted to give the Young Master a thumbs up for this Action. The Young Master usually only knew how to spend money like water, but now he finally knew how to make money.
Although it was a bit like taking a tooth from a tiger's mouth, it was still a Good Omen, wasn't it? It was necessary to encourage it well.
Chu Jihan's intuition told him that Lian Sheng's eyes were not right, but he couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, so he could only put on a stern face and say, "Don't be careless. The place we are going to later is easy to be discovered."
After sending Lian Sheng away, Chu Jihan turned to look at Shen Qing. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. He was used to being able to hear Shen Qing's Thoughts. Facing a person whose Heart he couldn't see, he felt very inconvenient. It was still comfortable to be with Shen Qing.
【Haha, night exploration of the Young Lady's Chamber, who should be chosen for this good thing?】
Chu Jihan used his hand to pinch his Chin and straightened his head. He wanted to take back what he had just said. He was an upright person, and staying with this kind of person with such Thoughts would only pollute himself.
Pulling the Carriage borrowed from the Merchant Guild and walking on the bluestone road of the main Street, they didn't make any sound along the way.
The Group of People all had Kung Fu, and they walked without making a sound. And the Hoofbeats and the wheels were very Local Tyrant-ly wrapped with burlap by Chu Jihan, making the Hoofbeats that should have been crisp also disappear.
Finally, everyone stopped outside the Outer Wall of the Su Manor. That's right, this was the place Su Ningxin suggested to hide the tea leaves, and she also made the insane Decision to hide them in Su Lanxin's Courtyard.
Su San, after all, was the Prefect. The Tea Transport Department's chance to search the Su Manor was small. After all, although the Xuanning Marquis Manor was usually Low-key, it was still a Marquis Manor, and it was not easy to provoke.
Even if they were really bold, risking the risk of being given Petty Tricks by the Xuanning Marquis Manor in front of the Emperor to search the Marquis Manor, the possibility of searching the Young Lady's Chamber was not high. If someone really broke into the Young Lady's Chamber, the Su Clan would be the biggest Joke in the world.
As for why they chose Su Lanxin's Courtyard, Su Ningxin admitted that she didn't exclude a bit of personal Calculation. After all, the only person in the entire Su Clan who had offended her was Su Lanxin.
But this was not the main reason. The main reason was that Su Lanxin's Courtyard had a good Position. Her Courtyard was next to the Outer Wall, making it convenient to transport the tea leaves in, and the possibility of being discovered by the Servants during the transportation process was small.
Although Su Ningxin's own Courtyard was also next to the Outer Wall, she would never put this hot potato on her own Territory.
Ahem, no, it's that Su Lanxin's Courtyard also has other advantages.
Su Lanxin was now bedridden and couldn't get up. She certainly wouldn't run to the Warehouse, and she was a Concubine's Daughter. She would definitely hide some valuable Jewelry in her Young Lady's Chamber, where would she put it in the Warehouse? So her Warehouse was almost just for show.
With Su Lanxin's Personality, even if she looked at it, she wouldn't admit it. In order to avoid being discovered, she would definitely not let the Servants in, so it was very Safety to put the tea leaves there.
"Just here?" Chu Jihan asked in a low voice. To avoid startling people, he got a little close, making Su Ningxin want to kick him away.
Fortunately, Ji Chu was more sensible. After looking at her, he silently moved away a bit, saving him from being kicked.
Nodding in satisfaction, Su Ningxin then said, "It's just here. Just find a few people to blow some Dazing Smoke in the Servant's room, and then go to the Young Lady's Chamber to steal the Key."
"Who goes?" Chu Jihan asked subconsciously. He swore to Heaven that he didn't have any Thoughts, but because he had just heard Shen Qing's Inner Thoughts, he was worried that he would be Calculating himself.
As a result, Chu Jihan received a Despise look from Shen Qing, as if he was a womanizer eager to enter the Young Lady's Chamber.
Heart!
"You, a Secret Guard, can't pick locks, and you still have to steal the Key?" This time, Shen Qing's Despise was like a substance, which caused great Sin to Chu Jihan's Heart.
I'll go, you didn't think that way just now, the one who was trying to explore the Young Lady's Chamber in a sneaky way, wasn't it you?
Chu Jihan covered his chest to prevent himself from being angered to death, and then asked a few people to release the Dazing Smoke.
After holding back for a long time, Chu Jihan still couldn't help but ask, "Why choose the Su Clan? Do you know them?"
"Don't know." Su Ningxin answered decisively.
【I'm not, I don't have, don't talk nonsense, you must not slander me with your words.】
"No? I thought you had a grudge against the Su Clan?"
When he was eavesdropping on Su San and the people from the Tea Transport Department drinking tea, Chu Jihan thought that Shen Qing and Su San were Old Acquaintances. Later, Shen Qing suggested putting the Official Tea in the Su Clan, and Chu Jihan felt that Shen Qing had a grudge against Su San. Now he completely didn't know the Relationship between the two.
"I haven't been to Xingyuan Prefecture for long, how could I have a grudge against anyone?" Shen Qing answered as if he was joking.
【Have a grudge? Young man, you are too superficial. When you finish the Case, the Su Clan will help you at such a great risk, and that's a great Contribution.】
Chu Jihan: "..." I really thank you for trusting me so much. This kind of thing, if you're not careful, it's Extermination of the Nine Kin. You're not afraid that the Su Clan will be raided and Beheading.
Chu Jihan looked at the place in front of Su Lanxin's Courtyard, where there was light coming out, "Brother Shen, do you know whose Courtyard that is? Why not choose that one?"
【That's your Father's Courtyard, how could you be allowed to hide such dangerous items, go dream about it.】
