Chapter 140: Encountering an official investigating a case at midnight

However, Zhang Shouan felt that Jiang Youzhen's performance was beyond his expectations. He just didn't know who was behind this kid to get so many good things.

And Zhang Shouan didn't think that this guy would dare to come here alone after hiring a few thugs. He was afraid that the people behind him were hiding in the dark.

In fact, Zhang Shouan did have the idea of ​​shirking his debt just now, but when he considered that Jiang Youzhen could easily take out so many treasures, he didn't believe that there was no one behind him.

Therefore, he did not act rashly. What would 100,000 taels mean to him when he returned to the capital? The most important thing now was how to return to the capital. If he caused any trouble because of his greed, he would kill himself.

"If you have treasures in the future, just come to our Baohuazhai and find Manager Tong. We will definitely give you a fair price."

"Mr. Zhang is an open-minded man. This transaction is fair and we are very satisfied. We will definitely have the opportunity to visit you again in the future. It is getting late, and I am afraid that those who are traveling with you may worry, so I will take my leave now." Jiang Youzhen bowed, and now that he had received the banknote, of course he had to run away.

As expected, she had an accomplice. Zhang Shouan's heart tightened, and he also praised his wise move just now.

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

How could Jiang Youzhen know that Zhang Shouan had imagined so much? The "we" she just mentioned was of course referring to herself and Jiang Fugui and the others, after all, they came together during the day.

Jiang Youzhen didn't know how she got back, her mind was almost a mess. It wasn't that she was useless, but it was the first time she got so many banknotes, 100,000 taels!

She hurried back to the inn, looked around the room, found no one there, and then closed the door.

Rubbing her hands, she took out all the banknotes in the storage space, intending to count them and see how much wealth she had now.

"Today, there are people selling pearls, blood jade bracelets, jade pendants, and raw agate stones... How much do they cost in total?" Jiang Youzhen couldn't even count because he was so excited.

"Forget it! Let me count how much silver I have in total!" Jiang Youzhen was too lazy to count anymore, and started counting a pile of silver bills, silver ingots, and small change.

The candlelight flickered, Jiang Youzhen held the silver bills and counted them, and found that there were a total of 105,200 taels of silver bills, and another 600 taels of silver ingots.

The remaining dozens of taels were made up of small change and copper coins, totaling about eighty taels.

In other words, she now had two cents left in her hand, not counting the pile of silver and copper coins, which Jiang Youzhen no longer cared about.

Oh my god! She was really going to be so proud. She had so much silver that she couldn't spend it all. And that wasn't even counting the things in the treasure chest. There were other treasures as well.

Jiang Youzhen felt a little dizzy after becoming a wealthy man all of a sudden.

Staring at the pile of silver bills in front of him, Jiang Youzhen planned to find an opportunity to go to money houses to exchange the silver bills for silver or gold, as these were the safest options. In this era, gold and silver were the hard currency.

He happily collected it. Although he was still a long way from becoming the richest man, he would never have to worry about food and clothing in his life.

I want to take out the treasure chest to have a look, but I’m worried that the gold is too dazzling. What if the golden light attracts other people’s attention?

Forget it! I'll wait until the new house is built and she has her own room before taking it out to count! Anyway, it won't go away if I put it in the storage space.

Jiang Youzhen collected all of these and placed them in the box Zhang Shouan gave him. The mahogany box was carved with a magpie on a plum tree, which was very festive.

After putting everything away and taking off her outer clothes, Jiang Youzhen lay down on the bed. She was so excited about making so much money that she couldn't sleep. Suddenly she thought of Shen and the three sisters, and felt a little sorry that she couldn't share her joy with them.

She didn't dare to test people's hearts. She would definitely help the three sisters in the future, but it would be impossible to do so without reservation.

"Oh! I have no place to spend the money I earned!" Jiang Youzhen sighed and suddenly wanted to go to Beijing as soon as possible.

Buy land! Buy a house... Thinking about it, Jiang Youzhen finally fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and there was a slight noise in the house. Jiang Youzhen woke up suddenly. She didn't open her eyes, but she was no longer sleepy. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the movement in the house.

However, the next moment, a smell of blood was getting closer and closer, accompanied by heavy breathing, which made the hairs on her body stand up.

What happened? Was he being targeted by someone while selling his treasures? Was he trying to steal them? Or did Zhang Shouan regret it and couldn't bear to part with the money?

At this moment, Jiang Youzhen's mind flashed with several possibilities. She held the dagger tightly in her hand under the quilt. At this moment, she felt very regretful. The system had just rewarded her with sword skills, but she didn't think of buying a sword immediately.

"Don't make a sound. I know you're not asleep, but listen to me. As long as you help me deal with the investigation later, I won't hurt you and I'll give you a reward."

A hoarse whisper was heard by Jiang Youzhen's ear, and she was completely shocked. She suddenly opened her eyes, but felt a chill on her neck.

"If you help me, I will give you money. If you don't help me, then die with me." The man said in a cold tone.

While Jiang Youzhen was thinking of a solution, there was a noise coming from outside the door.

“Bang, bang, bang!” “Bang, bang, bang! Open the door!”

"Open the door! Open the door! We are investigating a case. Everyone, open the door. We are searching!"

Here it comes! Jiang Youzhen was a little panicked, because she clearly felt the sword on her neck getting closer. The sharp blade was piercingly cold, and it went straight into Jiang Youzhen's skin, making her shiver with cold.

"They are obviously coming in to search. Even if I don't report you, you will be found by them." Jiang Youzhen swallowed and couldn't help but blame himself for his bad luck.

"As long as you don't tell me, I will find a way to escape their pursuit."

In the dark night, a pair of deep eyes stared at Jiang Youzhen. Even in the dark night, he could see the other's trembling eyelashes. He had good eyesight and hearing, so as soon as Jiang Youzhen moved after entering the room, he knew that he was awake.

Suddenly, he grabbed Jiang Youzhen's wrist and carefully felt her pulse, trying to make sure that she had no internal force.

However, the next moment, his eyes were full of astonishment, and then he quickly let go of the slender wrist.

"As long as you don't say anything, I won't be caught. If I escape, you will be safe. Those people are extremely vicious. If they knew that I was hiding in your room, they would probably think that we were in cahoots.

When the time comes, they will catch you and torture you severely. Are you sure you can handle it, as delicate as you are? And they will not show mercy to women. On the contrary, they have many ways to make you wish you were dead!"

Fuck your mother! Jiang Youzhen opened her eyes wide. The other party had exposed her as a woman dressed as a man, and wanted to threaten her?

"Hurry up! Open the door quickly! Come out, the people inside." The door was almost falling apart, and these people wanted to kick the door open.

Jiang Youzhen was a little nervous. This damned coquettish bitch must have done something that angered the heavens and the people, otherwise why would they mobilize so many government forces to arrest him? Judging from the noise outside, it was a big scene.
