Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 233 Hou Junji visits Pushan Mansion at night.

It is night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The mansions of the princes and nobles are almost all concentrated together, which is somewhat similar to the wealthy districts of later generations.

Pu Shangong is a hereditary and irreplaceable title, although Li Mi is not doing well now, it is only passed down to his generation and has declined.

However, Pu Shangong's mansion is still quite close to the center of this Sui "rich area", and all of them are deep houses.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This Pushangong Mansion is also a big house with high bluestone walls and red bricks and green tiles.There are four dragons and phoenixes on the door, "Pusangong Mansion".

Since Li Mi is not a big official in the court and has no real power, his family does not support many people.There are only 30 to [-] people including maids, concierges, servants, and cooks.

That's right, to raise twenty or thirty family servants and maidservant's family, for Li Mi, this is already considered a poor family.

In Pushan Gongfu, after Li Mi burned all the letters and accounts with Han Wang Yang Liang, all the gold, silver and jewels he got from Han Wang sank into the well, and his heart became much more stable.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles." The watchman beat the gong and yelled from street to street.Three gongs sounded, which meant that it was already the third watch.

The third watch is the time when the human spirit is the most exhausted, and it is also the time when the person sleeps most sweetly.At this moment, even nocturnal creatures like watchmen are already yawning, let alone sleeping people.

Hou Junji was dressed in black night clothes, with a black gauze covering his face, and quietly approached under the wall courtyard of Pu Shan Gong's mansion.

"Teng! Teng! Teng!"

Hou Junji jumped three times and landed in the courtyard.Li Mi's mansion didn't support too many family guards, so the defense in the mansion was not tight.

Hou Junji tiptoed to the outside of the bedroom, stunned Li Mi with a stick of incense, then entered the room cautiously, and then rummaged through the room one by one.

However, after digging through boxes and cabinets, Hou Junji did not find anything useful in Li Mi's bedroom.

After Hou Junji came out of Li Mi's bedroom, he sneaked into Li Mi's study again.Originally, Li Mi's letters and accounts, gold, silver and jewelry were all hidden in the secret room of the study.

However, these things have now been disposed of by Li Mi.Hou Junji searched for a long time in the study room, although he found the secret room, but the secret room was empty, and nothing useful was found.

"and many more!"

"No!" Hou Junji noticed something when he was about to leave the secret room.

Where Li Mi originally put the box, there is a box print that was pressed out by the box.The secret room was pitch black, and Hou Junji couldn't help it at first, but when he went out, he inadvertently lit the ground with the candle in his hand, and only then did he realize it.

Hou Junji is an old night traveler, since he found a clue, he naturally had to investigate it cautiously.

"There is no dust! It means that the box should have been carried away not long ago." Hou Junji touched the ground with his hands and found that there was no dust on his hands.

Hou Junji judged that the box should have been moved away today, but during the day, Hou Junji stayed outside all the time, and did not see Pushangong's mansion transporting anything outside.In that case, the box must still be in the mansion.

Immediately, Hou Junji's goal became clear, which was to find the box.Since Li Mi hid these boxes, there must be something wrong with these boxes.

After having a goal, Hou Junji began to search for boxes from room to room.Even the rooms of the servants and maids were not spared.These servants and maidservants were all stunned by Mixiang by Hou Junji, and then they searched carefully.

After searching all the rooms, Hou Junji still couldn't find the boxes that he thought were problematic.In the end, Hou Junji even searched for the firewood room and the kitchen, but he still couldn't find it.

Not to mention the woodshed, the kitchen, even the cesspit in the hut, Hou Junji poked it several times with a stick, wanting to see what could be in the cesspit.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Hou Junji tossed and tossed in the Pushan mansion for more than half an hour, but he couldn't find anything. At this time, he suddenly felt a little urgent to urinate, so he just took out his stuff and started to pour water in the yard.

Anyway, the maids and servants in the entire Pushan Mansion were stunned by Hou Junji's incense, and they couldn't wake up until dawn, and Hou Junji didn't shy away from it.

In the middle of urinating, Hou Junji noticed something unusual. There seemed to be something wrong with the grass in the yard.On the grass, at a distance, there are traces of back pressure.

Didn't Li Mi let some of his confidantes sink all those boxes of gold, silver and jewelry into the well?The distance from Li Mi's study to this well is insignificant.

In order to take a shortcut during the day, these servants carrying boxes did not take the paved stone road, but stepped on the grass.I don't know if these boxes are too heavy, or the people who carry them are useless.

After he had carried it for a certain distance, he put down the box to rest for a while, and the box just pressed some marks on the grass.

These traces were not easy to be found in the first place, so to speak, when Hou Junji was urinating, he happened to see these traces pressed out by the box.

If others saw these traces, they might not care about them, but Hou Junji was a cautious person.He compared the box print in the secret room in his mind, and immediately knew that it must be pressed from the same box.

Hou Junji searched along the box, and after a while, he came to the well.Holding the candle in his hand, Hou Junji looked carefully at the well.

The well was pitch black, and Hou Junji's small candle could not illuminate the deep well. From this point of view, there was nothing else in the well except water.

Suddenly, Hou Junji noticed something abnormal at the mouth of the well. Some red paint was scratched on the stone wall at the mouth of the well.

"It's the lacquer applied on the wood. It seems that these boxes must be in the well." Hou Junji rubbed the wooden varnish on the stone wall at the mouth of the well with his hands, and said very firmly.

Thinking of this, Hou Junji extinguished the candle in his hand, then took off the rope tied to the barrel from the mouth of the well, tied it around his body, and rowed down the well wall bit by bit.

Not long after, Hou Junji slipped into the well water, which was icy cold.Hou Junji couldn't care less, and sneaked into the well.

Sure enough, as Hou Junji expected, there were seven or eight boxes at the bottom of the well.It would be impossible for Hou Junji to get rid of these boxes by himself.Therefore, Hou Junji did not act rashly, but just took some things from these boxes, and then crawled out of the well.
