The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 188: Like a Dream

Jian Yue nodded: "My uncle didn't show up, but my cousin came to give me wealth. It's weird no matter how I think about it."

"Yan Jinghong said that my uncle left me a sum of money before he left, and he hid it in a house in Yanling Prefecture. My uncle entrusted it to him and asked him to give it to me when I reach the age of 15, and he also told me not to tell anyone." Jian Yue laughed at herself, "Master, do I have a face that is easy to deceive?"

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but laugh: "How did you find the flaw?"

"So-called coincidences are all intentional. How could it be such a coincidence? My carriage had just arrived at the door of the cloth shop, and he happened to ask where it was?"

Moreover, Yan Jinghong's attitude was very strange. She said Yan Xinning was a fake daughter and she had just returned to her ancestral home. Yan Jinghong was only surprised for a moment, but he quickly accepted it. Wasn't he accepting it too quickly? Didn't he suspect that she was also a fake?

In short, Yan Jinghong is a suspicious person.

Now, the two families of Meng Tongzhi and Wang Tongpan, who framed her and her master, have just fallen. I wonder what role Yan Xinning played in the poisoned wine case? If she didn't intervene, she must be preparing a big move.

Jian Yue felt that perhaps she could get some information about her maternal family from Yan Xinning.

She is not the original owner, and she has no feelings for the original owner's maternal family. She originally planned to keep it like this since there is no contact between them! But now that her cousin has come out, she can't just sit back and watch. What's more, he wants to plot against her!

"What's your plan?"

"I have made an agreement with that cousin and will go with him to get the property tomorrow. He said that the property is a dowry given to me by my eldest uncle and he doesn't want my father and stepmother to know about it, so that it won't fall into my hands. Look! How thoughtful he is for me."

"Take a few more people with you tomorrow."

"No, I can take Fu Liu and Fu Yun with me to avoid alerting the enemy. I will go meet this cousin first in the evening."

In the afternoon, Jian Yue took a nap and rested herself sufficiently.

Around midnight, she took Fu Yun and Fu Liu and used her Qinggong skills to go to the inn where Yan Jinghong was staying.

Yan Jinghong lived on the second floor. Fu Liu first blew smoke in through the window. After waiting for a while, he opened the window and quietly went in.

Jian Yue went in. Fu Yun was watching outside.

Yan Jinghong was knocked unconscious in his sleep. Jian Yue asked Fu Liu to feed him a drug called "Dreamlike Poison". This drug is between a drug and a poison. People who are poisoned by it cannot distinguish between dreams and reality, but can hear sounds from the outside world.

Jian Yue began to ask: "Who are you?"

Yan Jinghong, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, spoke strangely: "Yan Jinghong."

"how old are you?"

"Forty-six."

"Why did you come to Yanling Mansion?"

"I was asked by my cousin Yan Jingyu to hand over the property he left for his niece to her."

Jian Yue frowned: "Did Yan Jingyu tell you this personally?"

"No, he sent a butler from Shangjing."

"Do you know the butler?"

"do not know."

"Where is the house we are going to tomorrow?"

"Huaishu Hutong in the west of the city."

"Is there an ambush in that house?"

"No, it's just an ordinary house with six boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the cellar. Yan Jingyu is really generous. He is willing to give so much to a niece. He refused to give a penny to the family back then. He secretly sold the property and ran away with the money."

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them left the inn and went to the west of the city, where they found the Huaishu Hutong mentioned by Yan Jinghong. However, as soon as they approached, they found someone guarding it.

There were two people sitting on the roof and two people in the yard.

Jian Yue and Fu Yun found the best angle, bent their bows and drew their arrows, and shot at the two dark shadows on the roof.

puff puff!

The black shadow was shot by an arrow and fell on the roof.

When the people in the yard heard the noise and just drew their swords, they saw a figure flash before their eyes.

puff!

One man's blood surged and he slowly fell to the ground.

The other man dodged the fatal blow and was about to escape when he was shot by an arrow that came out of nowhere.

He killed one of the four guards and knocked three out with arrows.

Fu Liu gently opened the gate, and Jian Yue and Fu Yun went in.

The three unconscious guards were taken to the kitchen for interrogation and fed with a drug called Dreamlike Illusion.

After half an hour, Fu Yun and Fu Liu cleaned up the blood in the yard and wiped out the traces of the fight. It took them two trips to get rid of the four guards.

Near dawn, four figures quietly entered the yard. One person stayed in the open, while the other three hid.

Yan Jinghong woke up in the morning and felt a little dizzy. He seemed to have dreamed last night, but he couldn't remember what he dreamed about. He didn't care, finished today's task, and quickly took the money and left. For some reason, he always felt uneasy.

After breakfast, Jian Yue arrived in a carriage, looking impatient.

Yan Jinghong smiled secretly in his heart: See! No one can resist the temptation of money.

If there hadn't been guards in the mansion, he would have wanted to take the wealth for himself.

Jian Yue only brought Fu Yun with her. After Yan Jinghong got on the carriage, Jian Yue urged Fu Yun, who was acting as a temporary driver, to hurry up.

The carriage drove all the way to the west of the city and entered Huaishu Hutong. Yan Jinghong got off the carriage and knocked on the door. A guard inside opened the door with his head lowered.

Yan Jinghong also introduced to Jian Yue: "This is the guard left by your uncle."

Jian Yue nodded and pretended to be curious and asked, "Uncle, which room do you keep your valuables in?"

Yan Jinghong whispered: "In the cellar to the west."

This small courtyard has three main rooms. The west wing has a kitchen and a woodshed.

Yan Jinghong took Jian Yue to the door of the woodshed and said, "The entrance to the cellar is in the woodshed." He turned around and told the guard, "Go and move the boxes out."

The guard went into the woodshed without saying a word, moved away a few bundles of firewood, moved the stone slab on the ground, and went down to the cellar.

"Uncle, let's go and help." Jian Yue said as she walked into the woodshed.

Yan Jinghong was disdainful in his heart: After all, I grew up in the countryside and have never seen so much money. He has not even seen the money yet! He is already confused.

"Uncle, come and help." Jian Yue's voice was urgent. It turned out that the guard was carrying up a jewelry box.

Yan Jinghong had no choice but to go over and take the box.

Yan Jinghong received the boxes at the entrance of the cellar, and Jian Yue and Fu Yun couldn't wait to open one.

"Wow! So much silver! I'm rich! I'm rich!" Jian Yue was so excited that her face almost touched the silver ingots. She held the ingots in both hands and smiled until her eyes narrowed.

Fu Yun also touched the gold ingots with surprise.

thump! thump!

Yan Jinghong turned around and found Jian Yue and Fu Yun lying on the ground unconscious.

His mind went blank for a moment, his face turned pale, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.

Another group of people came into the yard, led by the housekeeper who was sent by Yan Jingyu to Qiongzhou to find Yan Jinghong.

Even if Yan Jinghong was slow, he realized that something was wrong. He asked with trembling lips: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The man who called himself Butler Wu smiled complacently...
