Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 169 I’m not willing to leave empty-handed.
Everyone looked around the box, but no one said anything about opening it.

"The Forty Thieves only have this box of money. Isn't it a little short?"

Shen Ru was shocked not knowing who had spoken, but the expression on her face remained the same. Anyway, no one could find anything from her.

"Father, she was the first to arrive. It's possible that she hid something."

Kasili really stared at Shen Ru and spoke again.

"Idiot, Shen Ru is standing here, what can she hide?"

Yan Shaoqing shouted rudely, "You are the only one who can't do anything. You just know how to talk to others."

The Lord of Innocence City looked at Shen Ru, and it really didn't look like he had anything hidden on him.

Looking around again, it was a bit strange that there was only one box in this empty room.

"Open this box and take a look."

After hearing the city lord speak, his men opened the unlocked box.

"This is... a book?"

The group of people were disappointed when they saw the neatly stacked notebooks.

Oh, ledger?

Shen Ru's eyes lit up after seeing it.

"It's only half the words again, Shen Ru, look at it."

Yan Shaoqing stepped forward, took a book, flipped through it, and gave it to Shen Ru.

It was really a ledger. It was full of simplified Chinese characters and Arabic numerals. Well, no one could understand it except her.

Facts have proved that this ancestor is her fellow villager. Although separated by time and space, she has inherited the legacy of her fellow villager. I think it makes sense!

Shen Ru flipped through the records above, with a frown on his face, but his heart was filled with joy.

It says, Hotan jade, 200 kilograms; gold products, 300 kilograms, agate, jade, and other Dawan gold crowns...

These are all hers!

"Shen Ru, how are you? What's written on it?"

Yan Shaoqing asked anxiously.

"I can barely see it. It's probably an account book. It seems to say there are hundreds of kilograms of gold and jade, but I didn't see it!"

"A few hundred catties?"

The city lord also took a breath of cold air, how many big boxes would that be?

"These things must still be here. Aren't there still so many books? What's written on them?"

Shen Ru then picked up another one. This is... a diary!

After flipping through a few pages, what was written above was how the ancestor, the leader of the robbers, expanded his robber career.

Although this... great thief career is not advisable, this senior is still doing it quite vigorously.

"It says on it that he robbed a certain caravan on a certain day in a certain year and how much money he intercepted."

Shen Ru simply said: "This is the life of this thief."

"It's amazing that a robber can still record his life."

Yan Shaoqing mocked: "Where did those things go?"

"The castle is so big, maybe it should be placed somewhere else."

"Um... I want to take these books away. Doesn't my father like to read all kinds of ancient books? Bring them to him, maybe he can recognize them all."

Shen Ru said with an excuse.

Yan Shaoqing looked at Shen Ru's appearance, thought for a while and said, "You guys, each of you should take a few copies. City Lord, do you want them?"

"My dear nephew, please take these things away. What I want are the gold, pearls and jade. Everyone, please give me room after room to find them."

The city lord said impatiently.

"City Lord, how do you get out of this place?"

There was no door in the stone chamber. The people of Sinless City groped for a long time, and in the end, they could only look at the entrance of the corridor.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb up from here. Shen Ru, do you have any ideas?"

Yan Shaoqing also looked at the corridor. When he came down, he felt that he had made several turns and went straight down again. This stone chamber was probably at the bottom of the entire stone castle.

Shen Ru had no choice but to ask tentatively: "Why don't you try to climb up?" So these forty thieves put their treasures here with no intention of being taken away!
Shen Ru thought for a while and went to look through the box.

At the bottom of the box, there is a map.

"How can I let you take away the wealth that I have worked so hard to acquire? Hahaha, just stare!"

The map starts with this sentence, and then the route below draws the way out.But from the looks of it, it's just a very narrow passage.

……

Shen Ru pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

"Shen Ru, what's written on it?"

Yan Shaoqing looked at Shen Ru's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, but there is a map."

Shen Ruyi said, and everyone else looked over.

She followed the drawing on the map and touched it on the wall.

It should be here. Shen Ru found the mark on the map and pressed it.

Click, click, click… A sound was heard in the stone wall, and then, an exit like a dog hole appeared on the wall.

Really... Shen Ru looked at the small opening. Between the walls, there was about the width of a thin woman.

"This is the exit shown on the map. You can go directly to it."

Shen Ru said: "However, I can't take anything out with me!"

"It's so narrow, how do you get out?"

One of the guards around Yan Shaoqing couldn't help but speak.

"Well, it's so narrow. The Forty Thieves don't want anyone to take things out."

For people to pass through the bottom-down passage, they need to stretch their arms and enter sideways. Anyone who is fat and has taken something will get stuck.

"Or, just climb up this corridor."

Shen Ru pointed at the corridor that slid down.

Immediately, everyone started to make a fuss. The narrow passage did not allow grown men to pass through at all!
"City Lord, what should I do? Are you just leaving like this?"

"We have worked so hard for so many years, there is no way we haven't found anything!"

"Could someone get there first? Isn't there hundreds of kilograms of gold?"

Yan Shaoqing was also hesitating. If the way out was so small, where were all the belongings of the Forty Thieves?
"Shen Ru, what did you say?"

Why should I say it? It seems like I can get out sideways!

Shen Ru looked light-hearted.

"Either take this passage or climb that corridor. There are only two ways. Choose one!"

The city lord of Innocence City was obviously unwilling to give in. He came forward and took the map to look at it in detail.

"It's impossible to return empty-handed. There must be other secret rooms."

"If not, we will break down this stone wall."

Shen Ru looked at the diaries in the hands of Yan Shaoqing and others and said regretfully: "Yan Shaoqing, please put your things back, otherwise you won't be able to get out!"

"You can't get out without putting it back in. Do you think we can squeeze in?"

I'm afraid only Shen Ru and Kasili can do this.

"Then... take the corridor?"

Shen Ru asked, "It's not that I can't walk, it's just harder."

Yan Shaoqing was also irritable and felt very unhappy after running away in vain.

"How about you put these books back? It's not easy for everyone to go out. These are not worth anything."

Shen Ru suggested: "I think they are quite stingy and don't want anything to be taken away!"

She wanted to do something big, Shen Ru said that, but he had a bold plan in his heart.

She wants to take away everything in this box!
