Chapter 404: The idea of attacking the warehouse
Si He quickly collected his thoughts, reached out to pull out the silver needle from the maid's body, took back the talisman paper, restored its mobility, then looked at the old nanny on the ground again, and poked her painful point, and she woke up immediately.
However, when Nanny Sun opened her eyes, she met Si He's deep eyes and was stunned for a moment.
"Get up and follow me."
Si He gave an instruction to Nanny Sun, pulled out the silver needles from her body, picked up the two lanterns with their lights turned off, and stood up and walked towards the rockery.
Nanny Sun followed her like a puppet, dumbly and slowly walked into the rockery.
The remnant soul also controlled the maid's body, slowly sat up, and after a while, followed her back to the rockery.
It was dark in the rockery, but it was no obstacle for Si He and the remnant soul.
The surroundings were completely silent. The noise hadn't attracted anyone. Si He then asked Nanny Sun, "What are you doing out so late?"
She remembered that this nanny served the eldest lady. Now it was late at night, and these two people came out stealthily. What did they want to do?
Nanny Sun replied truthfully, "Madam told us to go to the storehouse to get some banknotes and send them to the Yang family tomorrow to have them release the Fifth Young Master."
The residual soul that possessed the maidservant beside her suddenly became angry again when she heard the voice of Nanny Sun again, and the negative energy surged, but because it was afraid of Si He being here, it did not attack Nanny Sun.
Si He glanced at it and continued, "Tell us everything that happened today in detail."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun replied expressionlessly.
It turned out that not long after Si He and the others left the house, the magician arrived. Led by his servants, he went directly to Qingyin Courtyard, captured the strange Hongdou, stabbed him to death with a sword, and then performed a ritual.
But when the ritual was only halfway done, they heard that the two girls had disappeared, so the Guo family dispatched a number of guards to search for them.
However, because she failed to find the person, Mrs. Guo thought for a long time and finally decided to take some more banknotes and send them to the Yang family tomorrow. She would also bring the concubines' daughters from the two rooms and send them over as well.
Mrs. Guo had originally taken out a lot of private money as "ransom", but she was afraid that it was not enough, so she asked Madam Sun to get some more from the storehouse.
Of course, this was done with silver notes from the public treasury.
Now that Madam Guo is the housekeeper, she can still make up for it by embezzling some public funds. Moreover, this is a "ransom", so even if the old lady knew, she would not say anything.
However, the fight between the three branches of the Guo family was still quite fierce, and this time the "ransom" would cost a lot of money, so the second and third branches complained a lot, and both openly and secretly wanted some subsidies from the public treasury.
Therefore, in order to avoid any complaints from the second and third houses, Nanny Sun was asked to go to the public treasury late at night to get some banknotes in a low-key manner.
After listening to what Nanny Sun said, Si He asked some more questions about the Guo family and the past situation of Qingyinyuan.
It turned out that several concubines had died in Qingyinyuan before, basically from the first and second wives. In the past, anyone who committed a crime would be sent to Qingyinyuan and imprisoned, but they did not live long, and each one died more miserably than the other.
Because they were all people who made mistakes, the old lady turned a blind eye.
And this remnant soul is one of them.
When Nanny Sun was talking about these things, it became extremely excited again, with yin energy surging, and it kept making low "ho ho" sounds, staring at Nanny Sun with its cold eyes.
Its anger seemed to be reaching a critical point, and it seemed as if it wanted to pounce and swallow Nanny Sun at any time.
Si He had no choice but to comfort it again, "Calm down, I will hand her over to you later."
After hearing Si He's words, it suppressed its anger and tried hard to restrain itself.
From this it seems that its mind is still relatively clear.
Si He continued to ask some questions, and then said: "Let's go to the warehouse."
Now that we've come to the Guo family, we can't go back empty-handed.
Then she instructed it: "Follow her."
"Yes."
It responded and followed Nanny Sun out of the rockery. Although it didn't know how she controlled Nanny Sun, it didn't find it strange. After all, in its eyes, she was a capable person, and it was normal for her to have some special methods.
It was now filled with rage, wishing it could devour Madam Sun's soul as quickly as possible. No, perhaps it could be even more cruel...
It stared closely at Nanny Sun's back, and a gloomy aura surged around it.
On the dark path, Nanny Sun was controlled by Si He and walked in front, while the residual soul occupying the maid's body walked behind. Si He followed beside her, not too far away, trying to hide her figure as much as possible.
Along the way, we didn't encounter any patrolling guards.
Perhaps because the guards were out looking for someone today and ran around all afternoon, most of them are resting now, with only a few people left on night patrol.
Si He walked a long distance before throwing the two extinguished lanterns in her hands to the side of the road, to prevent them from searching around the rockery if something happened tomorrow, and the talisman paper hidden there might be found.
When they were almost at the warehouse courtyard, Si He took the lead and walked forward, picked up two stones, and threw them at the two guards at the door. In an instant, the two men fell to the ground.
Nanny Sun walked to the warehouse, took out the key and opened the gate.
The courtyard was dark and surrounded by high walls. Although there were no guards, it was still well protected. It was difficult to enter without a complete set of keys.
Normally, the keys to this warehouse are controlled by Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo, but something happened recently, so the old lady temporarily gave the keys to Mrs. Guo.
Madam Guo usually kept the key hidden very carefully. Wan Fei's situation was special now, and she was afraid of attracting the attention of the second and third rooms, so she couldn't let Madam Sun come so late at night.
Now, there are six heavy iron doors to open.
Walking into the heavily guarded warehouse, Si He looked around. This was truly a treasure trove. Boxes of gold and silver were piled up. Although each box was locked and sealed, there was a seal on the box, which indicated the contents of the box, such as how many taels of gold and how many taels of silver.
The seal is intact, the items are intact, and it is very cautious.
In addition to gold and silver, there are also some jewelry here, but they are all locked and sealed in boxes. Only some large items are wrapped in cloth.
The banknotes that Nanny Sun was originally going to take were placed on the brocade box on the table right in front of her.
The brocade box had been opened before. It was opened by the old lady and Madam Guo together. There was only a silver note for 50,000 taels of silver left in it.
This time, Madam Guo asked Nanny Sun to take the only 50,000 taels of silver notes left in the brocade box. Nanny Sun was Madam Guo's dowry nanny and was deeply trusted. The family's indentures were in Madam Guo's hands, so Madam Guo was so confident in letting her come to take the silver notes.
Si He walked forward, opened the brocade bag, looked at the banknotes inside, and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
