Chapter 403 Take action

As soon as the counselor finished speaking, another deputy general who participated in the investigation said, "We only killed twenty of the five hundred sheep..."

After hearing what the counselor said, Sheng Yin remembered that she had let someone steal five hundred sheep.

She had instructed her subordinates to rob goods from outsiders many times, so she was very familiar with it.

After finding out that those foreign merchants had no roots or background in Nanzhao, she sent people to take action. These people had no place to complain after suffering losses. After all, in Haikui City, she was the boss!

If you want to do long-term business, you must first pay 5,000 taels of silver to her subordinates as a stepping stone, and then pay at least 1,000 taels of silver every month based on the business situation;

Foreign merchants who have no money but have superior goods sign a contract and hand over all their monthly revenue to the princess's mansion, which is equivalent to working for the princess for free, until they can collect 5,000 taels of silver to terminate the contract and pay the tribute silver like other merchants...

This is how the princess's mansion, which spends money like water, makes money. No matter how big or small the amount is, they will accept it.

For small islanders like this who are selling sheep, if they are robbed, then so be it. The sensible ones will honestly try to find connections or suffer the loss in silence. The stupid ones will be beaten to death if they make trouble.

Unexpectedly, this time, she would capsize in the gutter. Sheng Yin clenched her fingers and said, "There are indeed some suspicious points in this matter. Let's get rid of these sheep first!"

Sheng Yin's eyes were so angry that they could spit fire: "Go find the herdsmen who sold you sheep. Even if we have to dig three feet deep into the ground, we will find them!"

She must torture these untouchables severely, force them to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, and then cut them into pieces!

The eldest prince and the third prince, which one of these two wants to harm her?

In Su Rui's courtyard.

After the Second Princess left, Su Rui took out the bug from the Peony Gold Hairpin: [Li Li, I got the bug. The Second Princess has been busy with military affairs these past two days, and must have discussed a lot of important matters with her confidants.]

【@江麗麗: Okay, Xin Che will pick it up from your place later. 】

After Jiang Lili got the bug from Su Rui, she immediately sent it to Xiaopang, who asked his assistant to organize the content intercepted from the bug.

The next morning, Xiaopang sent the sorted content back to Jiang Lili. This time, the information Su Rui obtained was priceless.

The conversation between the princess and her confidant not only mentioned the number of troops stationed in the other five cities, but also mentioned two other warehouses where gold, silver, treasures and supplies were hidden, in addition to the princess's private treasury.

One is right under the military camp of Haikui City, and the other is on Xiushui Island, a remote island more than 30 miles southeast of Haikui City’s port. It is Sheng Yin’s last retreat.

Combining the information that Sheng Zhixing and Master Liao extracted from the Third Prince, it turns out that Xiushui Island used to be a remote, barren, deserted island with few inhabitants.

Fog easily forms around Xiushui Island. It is difficult to find the island without the guidance of island residents who are familiar with the sea. It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Sheng Yin may have seen this point and used Xiushui Island as a retreat. He hid some treasures on Xiushui Island. If he failed in the battle for the throne, he would retreat to Xiushui Island and run away with the money hidden on Xiushui Island. It was a good plan.

However, as the old emperor of Nanzhao, Sheng Zhixing was very familiar with the territory of Nanzhao. Xiushui Island was conquered by the original owner of his body from pirates when he was young.

Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows when she learned the location of Xiushui Island. Since it is in the southeast of Nanzhao, doesn’t it mean it is very close to their class’s base camp, Mi Kingdom?

At the moment, it seems that the scope of activities of their base camp will be further expanded!

After the princess went to the military camp in Anemone City, she did not return to the princess's mansion for the entire day.

At night, Xin Che sent people to investigate the rats in the basement of the private vault. Jiang Lili took out the chip from the bionic mouse and sent it back to Xiaopang.

An hour later, Xiaopang sent over the floor plan of the private vault's basement.

This floor plan is very detailed and not only clearly marks the items placed in the scanned area.

The princess' basement was indeed filled with danger. Not only was the terrain complex, but the bionic mouse also scanned the mechanism.

However, the bionic mouse also detected that there was more than one entrance to the basement, namely Sikong Zhen. There were four other passages leading to unknown places. According to the images recorded by the bionic mouse, in three of the four passages, people were seen going out but not coming in, and in one of the four passages, people were seen going in and out.

This explains why the number of people in black going in and out is different. It turns out that there is a passage in the basement leading to outside the mansion.

This is crucial information. If they want to escape or send people to sneak in, it will be much more convenient to have these four channels.

However, the most urgent task is to find out where these four channels lead to?

Jiang Lili and Xin Che made up their minds to take action tonight.

The princess and her trusted men were extremely busy at the military camp in Hai Kui City, and the princess's assassins had just checked the private vault two days ago and found nothing unusual, so they would definitely let down their guard. Now was a good time to take action.

Su Rui and Butler Liu said that they were feeling lonely staying alone in the empty room and wanted to go to the cat room to take care of the cats raised by the princess. They used this excuse to come to the cat room to keep watch for Jiang Lili and the others.

After the two sides handed over, Jiang Lili followed Xin Che and was led out of the yard by Xin Che using his lightness skills.

Jiang Lili, who had cooperated with Xin Che many times, was no longer afraid of being "flying" with Xin Che. The two of them bypassed the guards and successfully entered the private vault of the princess's mansion. After twisting the mechanism to open the secret door, Jiang Lili's heart suddenly beat faster when she thought that there might be someone behind the door.

The night clothes she and Xin Che were wearing were customized according to the styles worn by the assassins who entered and exited the warehouse. From a distance, these assassins could think they were accomplices, but no one knew how long the disguise could last. She just hoped that she would be luckier this time and that there would be no one in the basement.

"Click——"

The secret door closed after the two entered. The basement was dark, large and silent, making people feel a little uneasy.

Jiang Lili fixed an infrared radio alarm reminder device in the corner of the secret door. If someone comes in from the secret door, the alarm receiver in Jiang Lili's hand will vibrate to remind people.

Xin Che was watching on the side. After Jiang Lili installed the alarm reminder device, he pulled her behind him. Xin Che had already memorized the basement map in his mind, and took Jiang Lili to explore the four important outward passages first.

The containers and boxes filled with supplies that the two passed by along the way were originally empty as Jiang Lili passed by and the supplies disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fine rice and flour, gold and silver jewelry, rare gems, exquisite cold weapons... box by box, item by item, the treasures that the princess had accumulated over the years, as well as the supplies that had taken manpower and more than half a year to transport, disappeared in a flash.

At the same time, the number of classified items in Jiang Lili's personal favorites increased visibly.

Just as the two were about to approach the first escape passage, footsteps were heard in the darkness ahead!
