Chapter 174 Well-trained
"Boss, why don't you say it's because I trained him well?" Sixteen's voice suddenly rang in my mind.
[Sixteen, you can still contact me from so far away?] Yunyi was very surprised.
I suddenly sensed your brainwaves. Those two monkeys were trained by me, specifically to find treasure.
How do I find it?
I familiarized them with the scents of gold, silver, jade, and other precious stones.
Yunyi: ...
Do those things even have a smell?
It's hard to explain, but it's the same principle as a foodie being able to smell roast chicken from anywhere.
"You're the best." Yunyi nodded, offering a perfunctory compliment.
sixteen:……
It feels so perfunctory.
The Sun family's storeroom was quite full, but it was clear at a glance that most of it was Du Rumei's dowry. There were some good items among them, but...
Space is limited.
Therefore, she could only pick and choose, putting some valuable and useful items into her space, and having to give up the rest.
After sorting through the selections, more than an hour had passed. There was still time to go to the Huang family's house. However, before leaving, I went to the gatehouse at the back gate. Granny Chu was on night duty tonight, but she was already asleep.
“Little girl, you…” Granny Chu rubbed her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, I'm leaving now. If you don't want to be implicated, you should leave too." Yunyi said, handing her twenty taels of silver. "This is enough for you to find a place to live out your retirement. It's not a good time to stay in the Sun family."
"you……"
Yunyi had already turned and disappeared into the night. The reason she came back was entirely to avoid implicating innocent people. As for what the old woman would choose, that was her own business.
By this time, Granny Chu had fully regained her senses. After thinking about what had happened to the Sun family, a chill ran down her spine. She quickly packed her things and left.
She was originally a gatekeeper, so it was very convenient for her to leave whenever she wanted.
As for what will happen to the Sun family after she leaves, that's beyond her control. After all, she wasn't a servant of the Sun family, but someone she had just hired and hadn't signed a contract of servitude.
Yunyi wasn't familiar with the Huang family, but with Monkey Sixteen and his wife leading the way, they arrived in no time.
The Huang residence was much more luxurious, even more beautiful than the Du residence of the prefect.
Although it was night, Yunyi walked across the rooftops, and below was a scene resembling a Jiangnan garden.
Building a garden resembling that of southern China in the far northwest would be quite expensive.
As expected, this is the home of the richest man in Longxi; its reputation is well-deserved.
The Huang family has many guards, and even at night, there are waves of people patrolling.
The monkeys seemed to be very familiar with the place, and they easily evaded the guards with Yunyi, quickly arriving at the study.
Huang Jin was a businessman who hadn't read many books, but his study was very large and elegantly decorated, with four rows of bookshelves. If someone who didn't know him came in, they would think it was the study of a scholar.
Yunyi had the two monkeys guard the door, while she, following Huang Jin's instructions, found the soft couch and pressed down on a protrusion on one of the legs near the window. Sure enough, there were a few rattling sounds, and then the entire soft couch moved, revealing a dark hole.
Before she could even get down, Monkey Sixteen jumped down first.
Yunyi: ...
Is it because you can smell it?
However, Monkey Sixteen quickly came up, but he brought up two gold ingots and placed them directly in front of Yunyi.
Yunyi's eyes lit up. There was gold inside! That was wonderful. She immediately went into the cave.
Fortunately, there were steps to go down, but the cellar was not high, only about one and a half meters high, so Yunyi, who was about 1.6 meters tall, had to bend over slightly.
There were only seven or eight steps to the bottom, which was a basement of about thirty square meters. There were more than a dozen large boxes neatly arranged, one of which was open and full of gold ingots.
Yunyi opened each box and looked inside. There were ten boxes of gold ingots, two boxes of silver ingots, and two boxes of jewelry. She then waved her hand and put them all into her spatial storage.
After glancing at the empty basement, Yun Yi was satisfied. She turned around and went out, restored the cot to its original state, and then swept the bookshelves again, discovering quite a few rare books. In the end, she simply took all four bookshelves away.
Books are so expensive and hard to buy these days, so these are really valuable.
After that, he went to the kitchen and storeroom for a while before preparing to leave.
However, when I went out, I accidentally stepped on a fire poker.
"Who's there?" Just then, a guard on patrol came over and heard the commotion.
Yunyi was about to hide on the roof beam when Monkey Sixteen grabbed a piece of meat from the kitchen, jumped out, squeaked twice, and threw the meat at the guards.
"Where did this monkey come from?" a guard shouted.
"You still dare to steal meat?"
"Catch it."
……
Hearing the guards chasing after the monkey, Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief and climbed onto the roof to leave. However, she found that there was now a man in black on the roof. She frowned and was about to leave when the man reached out his hand to her.
Yunyi stabbed the dagger in her hand toward the other person's arm.
"Boss, it's me."
Yunyi immediately stopped: "Why are you here?"
"The Huang family is the richest family in Longxi. I've come to see if they have any silver." Jing Han smiled. "Looks like I'm late?"
"Okay." Yunyi nodded. "I've searched everything I could. It's almost dawn now, let's go."
Jing Han nodded and followed Yun Yi out of the Huang residence.
By this time, the rooster had crowed three times, and it was beginning to get light in the east.
"Boss, I'm hungry." Jing Han rubbed his stomach.
Yunyi rolled her eyes at him, but still took him to a breakfast stall and ordered two bowls of noodles, two baked buns, and a small plate of pickled vegetables.
"Thank you, Chief." Jing Han picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Yunyi narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Jing Han's behavior. Although he seemed rude, he probably didn't realize that some of his unintentional actions revealed an innate elegance that couldn't be learned. It must have been cultivated from childhood and engraved in his bones.
This person's true identity is probably not simple.
"Chief, why aren't you eating?" Jing Han looked up and met Yun Yi's slightly scrutinizing gaze. He touched his face with a puzzled expression. "Is there something on my face?"
"Jing Han, do you want to tell me your true identity?" Yun Yi picked up her chopsticks and asked the question seemingly unconsciously.
Jing Han was stunned: "I..."
