Chapter 120 Late Night Siege
Chapter 120 Late Night Siege
After a busy day, the mansion finally returned to peace after dark. The mansion had changed a lot. The original green trees, red walls, green willows and red flowers were all covered with a layer of white gauze, and white lanterns were hung everywhere.
The ancestral hall, which had not been opened since Qian Qiansui entered the mansion, was now open. Fu Zichan's tablet was placed in the middle, surrounded by incense burners and white banners. Except for the coffin that should have been placed in front of the mourning hall, everything was neatly arranged, without missing a single thing.
It is surprising and regrettable that the Anshun Marquis Mansion has gone from being a flourishing place to being in ruins today. No matter what the hostess thinks, at least that is how it looks to outsiders.
"How pitiful... Such a good new daughter-in-law has become a widow." Prince Hengzhou stood in front of the carriage, looking at the white lanterns hanging outside the mansion, smiling maliciously.
"Don't forget our agreement. I will help you take the people away, and you have to help my sect gain a foothold in Quzhou." Fu Zichan was wearing a mask, and his voice was difficult to distinguish between male and female. He looked at the door of his former home, and his heart had gone from being burning with anger to being calm.
If he can't turn back into a man, it will be impossible for him to become the Fu Zichan he once was. Judging from the current situation, the empress will not allow "Fu Zichan" to live. His enemies have seized the opportunity and will never give him a chance to turn things around.
Just as Yuan Chengzhi said, it would be better for them to find another way, but the biggest hidden danger in the Marquis' Mansion is still there. This woman knows his identity, so how could she let him easily return to the Marquis' Mansion as a mistress?
It is urgent to get rid of Qian Qiansui.
"Don't worry, as long as I take the person away today, I will give you definite news tomorrow." The King of Hengzhou is not a fool. He originally had his eyes on Qian Qiansui, but this little attraction was not enough for him to take action personally. He never does business that will lose money. The papermaking and printing formula in Qian Qiansui's hands is his real purpose for coming here today.
"Then... let's cooperate happily." Fu Zichan's body cannot fight. The gender conversion pill will change the body into another gender while raising all the configurations to the highest level, but at the same time it will also initialize everything in the original body.
What Fu Zichan has to do now is to wait for a commotion in the main courtyard, and then he will take the opportunity to enter the Marquis' Mansion and find the Concubine Dowager. This time he will confess everything to his mother.
Qian Qiansui didn't know how many doors she had opened today. Sang Biao had tricked the Marquis's Mansion into giving her the keys to all the important warehouses. It could be said that except for some private warehouses in the Dowager Concubine's courtyard, she had checked all the other warehouses in the Marquis' Mansion, even the places where food was stored.
She even specially called Sikong Taxing to her house, fearing that the bastard Fu Zichan could dig a tunnel or build a secret room in the house. With a professional like Sikong Taxing, let alone a secret room, even if it was just burying potatoes or hiding winter grain, he could dig three feet into the ground to find it for her.
The result was certainly encouraging. At least she hadn't finished counting some of the property in the Marquis' Mansion until dark.
This is how she plans to deal with it tonight. Tomorrow morning, she plans not to do any counting at all. She will just ask for a few monkeys from the scroll, and then take away everything she can find in the warehouse. Qian Qiansui has a feeling that it is no longer safe to hide these treasures in the mansion.
Holding the quilt, Qian Qiansui felt a little cold again. Wen Chun appeared once today and then disappeared without a trace. No one knew what mission he went to do.
She was dazed and suddenly felt someone slapping her in the face. She opened her eyes suddenly. Although Sang Biao was good-looking, his face looked very weird in the middle of the night and almost scared her to death.
"Oh my god! Why don't you light a lamp? It's so late at night, with the moonlight and the shadows. If I get scared to death, I'll be the first to kill you!"
Sang Biao rolled his eyes at her, and simply pulled the fox fur over her, wrapping her up with only her head left. Then he opened the window and ran out carrying her in his arms.
"What are you doing? A healthy cat is going to kill its master?" Qian Qiansui was disheveled in the wind and suddenly came to his senses.
She could already smell something burning in the air.
"Is there anyone coming?"
"A lot of people came outside. They are very brave and want to come in to share a piece of the pie." Sang Biao held Qian Qiansui lightly and easily. When she looked up, she saw that a lot of archers had come to the roof at some point. She was not prepared to confront them head-on. She turned around and landed on the ground and went into a room.
"Is he Fu Zichan's man?" The first person Qian Qiansui could think of who wanted to kill her was Fu Zichan. Now the name "Fu Zichan" was gone. Fu Zichan should have realized that he could not come back, so he wanted to kill her in anger. This was very reasonable.
"I just saw that besides him, there was also some King of Hengzhou..."
"That old pervert?" Qian Qiansui didn't expect that these two people would join forces.
Sang Biao pushed open the back door of the house and said, "I know you're not afraid of being beaten, but if you're tied up, you'll be in trouble too. Just find a place to hide and leave the rest to us."
Qian Qiansui didn't want to show off her bravery. She knew very well how good of a fighter Lais was. These people were probably not enough for Sang Biao and Lais to cook a dish.
Sang Biao's decision was correct. Some people in gray clothes had sneaked into the main courtyard at some point. They were different from the people in black who had come before. These people moved strangely and at an extremely fast speed, and the way they walked was also weird.
The man in gray seemed to have known the house where Qian Qiansui lived for a long time. As soon as he entered, he pulled the trigger on the bed, and a large net flew out, glowing a strange shell color in the moonlight.
The men in gray closed their nets again, but unfortunately there was nothing inside.
"Oh no, the truth is revealed." The gray-clothed leader spoke with a gesture without using a local accent, and the black-clothed men who had invaded the mansion began to search every room.
Soon, the main courtyard began to catch fire.
"What the hell? I was murdered the first time I slept in the marquis' mansion. Why am I so unlucky!" Sikong Taxing ran out of the fire covered in dust. He just fell asleep a little. Is it necessary to treat him like this? He hasn't gotten married yet. What if he gets disfigured and no one wants him?
"You are still alive? That's good, come with me." Sang Biao jumped into the yard and was very happy to see Sikong Taxing.
"What? What are you going to do?" Sikong Taxing wiped the dust off his face, patted his burnt hair, and looked confused.
"Come with me to steal someone." Sang Biao didn't let him refuse and took his men to the roof. He was almost beaten to a pulp by the men in black.
"Who? Who are you stealing? I'm a decent woman, don't hurt me!"
Sikong Taxing dodged the arrows, with a sad face, and ran towards the moon shouting.
At the same time, a man wearing a mask sneaked into the concubine's yard and stood at the concubine's door, hesitating.
