Chapter 274 Three-Story Villa
Chapter 274 Three-Story Villa
Perhaps it was what she was about to say that diverted Yunyi's attention, so she didn't even notice that the electric current had stopped, and was just thinking about the treasure map.
When she transmigrated to the ancient world, many conflicts were caused by a map or a book. The map was usually a treasure map, and the book was usually a martial arts manual or a secret to immortality.
She's living in ancient times now, so it's perfectly normal for her to have a treasure map.
If you want to rebel and become king, money is the key. With a treasure map, you have the ability to raise an army, and that gives you the capital to rebel and become emperor.
In ancient times, people looked down on merchants. The social hierarchy was that of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, and merchants had no social standing. However, those who looked down on merchants were all inseparable from money.
Therefore, these people are typically ungrateful.
After discussing it further, the Hei Yun and Hei Ning sisters quietly left.
Yunyi learned that the treasure map of the previous dynasty was drawn on a cowhide by Emperor Ai when the dynasty collapsed, and then divided into eight parts and given to his eight confidants.
More than sixty years have passed since the fall of the previous dynasty. Most of the eight confidants have died. Some of the treasure maps were passed down to their descendants, while others have disappeared without a trace.
Now, the master behind Black Cloud has obtained one of them, and the information we've gathered is that Bai Wu has one.
Another thing Yunyi didn't expect was that the Heiyun sisters were both from Yangzhou, known for their slender horses (a euphemism for prostitutes).
"Hey boss, check the space, what's going on?" Sixteen weakly reminded him.
Yunyi then realized the electrotherapy was over and hurriedly probed her consciousness into the space. What she saw there gave her a huge surprise: [Sixteen, can't you sense what's happening in the space?]
Boss, I've completely broken free from the main system. It's truly a clean break.
Didn't you say you were breaking up from the start? Now you're acting like you're still connected. Who knows, you might reconnect in a few days.
No, absolutely not anymore, because my energy no longer fluctuates at all, not even slightly. Now I'm just a bunch of lonely data, sob sob.
Yunyi: ...
Boss, you're all I have left.
[I just want to know if you can't sense space? What nonsense are you spouting?]
Boss, all I can feel now is your emotional fluctuations; nothing else.
【Very good.】 Yunyi smiled.
What's going on with that space?
【I won’t tell you.】
sixteen:……
The space has changed a lot. What used to be a small two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters has now become a three-story villa, which I estimate to be around 300 square meters.
Therefore, the things that were previously piled up can now be stored in categories.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that spirit leaf; it still has two leaves and still produces a drop of spirit spring water each time, at a leisurely pace.
But Yunyi was already very satisfied, after all, these were all extras that could add to her happiness.
Yunyi ignored Sixteen and jumped down from the roof beam. She originally wanted to leave, but after glancing at the firewood in the room, she put it into her space. After all, firewood was money. In the village, it cost five coins a bundle. There were at least thirty bundles here, which would be more than a hundred coins.
Since there's space available now, might as well take advantage of it; the main strategy is to make the most of every available space.
After leaving the woodshed, Yunyi went straight to the main courtyard.
Before they even got close, they could hear sounds coming from inside the house. Hei Ning had just returned and was already getting involved with Bai Wu. He really was full of energy and had some amazing skills.
A puff of smoke drifted by, and the two of them lost consciousness, abruptly ending the sounds of their intimate tussle.
Yunyi closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, beginning to search for anything unusual in the atmosphere of the entire room.
To Yunyi's surprise, there were indeed no hidden compartments or secret rooms in the entire house; it was just an ordinary room.
Yunyi walked to the bedside and looked at Bai Wu lying on top of the woman. Although it was a bit of an eyesore, she still scanned his body. In the various worlds she had experienced, there were more than one person who hid important things in their body, just like drug dealers in modern society who hide drugs in their bodies.
Believe it or not, she was right. There was a noticeable wisp of black energy below Bai Wu's shoulder blade. While this didn't necessarily mean there was something there, it confirmed that something was wrong.
He took the dagger and stabbed directly into the wound.
Perhaps it was too painful, Bai Wu groaned and showed signs of waking up, but was quickly knocked unconscious again by Yun Yi's punch.
Sure enough, a black lump was dug out from under Bai Wu's shoulder blade. After wiping it with a sheet, it was found to be a piece of waterproof kraft paper. When opened, there was indeed a small piece of yellowish kraft paper inside with a pattern on it, but it was just lines and couldn't make out anything. However, it should be the one-eighth piece of the treasure map.
Regardless, let's put it away first.
Afterwards, he went around the entire house and collected everything that could be used. These things could be thrown into the slums after they were taken out, since everyone needed them. So, he didn't even leave behind the chamber pots.
Only after the space was full did he set a fire and turn to leave.
"When the fire gets bigger, call for help," Yunyi instructed Hongyi.
"how about you?"
"I have something to do, I'll just go straight home in a bit," Yunyi said and ran off.
Hong Yi had no choice but to stay. When he saw the commotion inside, he kindly started shouting, "Fire! Fire! Come and put out the fire!" After shouting, he ran away.
Yunyi went back and fell asleep immediately. She only received the news at dawn that Bai Wu and a woman had been burned to death in their bed. The two were still in the act of intercourse when they were burned, and they could not be separated. Therefore, the steward Bai Fu had no choice but to bury them together.
Yunyi originally thought that the death of the head of the family would cause chaos among the people, but she did not expect that Bai Fu alone could keep the situation in order, and Bai Wu's men handled the funeral arrangements in an orderly manner.
Of course, it did alarm the government, but the officials just went through the motions.
It's all too common for someone to die in Black City.
Yunyi thus realized that Bai Fu, though ostensibly a butler, was probably of a much higher status than Bai Wu.
"Boss, there's something else that's quite strange." Zhao Xiaobei looked conflicted.
"what's up?"
"There's a poor neighborhood in the north of the city. This morning, every household there received some good things, like tables, chairs, pots and pans. One family even had a paralyzed father who had never been able to afford a chamber pot, but they received one yesterday."
