I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

The layout of the room shows that this should be a warehouse.

Cabinets with countless drawers stand against the wall, and rows of wooden shelves are placed in the middle of the room. Various files and items are stored in them, and they are all labeled.

The system shuttled between the various shelves very lightly, obviously knowing the rewards to be obtained.

What Luo Qianhuai cares about is another thing: there are others in the warehouse!

Her hearing was surprisingly good at the moment. Since she came in, the other party's breathing has become more and more nervous and his heartbeat has become faster and faster, just like fireflies in the dark night, which is not too clear.

In the dead of night, what was hidden in the locked warehouse of the Yiting was unlikely to be an official of the Yiting, but most likely a gentleman of Liang Shang who was similar to her.

The five large rooms are connected in the middle, and the space in them is not small. The sound came from the beams on the east side of the house. Luo Qianhuai didn't find anyone, but he found a crack in the window on the west side. He thought that was where his comrade came from.

The system stood in front of a wooden frame, jumped up on tiptoes, and easily took down the rectangular object that was placed at the top of the shelf, one meter long, one foot wide and three thirds thick.

The system casually lifted off the black cloth covering the outside, revealing its true face: a plaque.

On the plaque are engraved three characters in red letters on a black background: Ji'antang.

Luo Qianhuai was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the century-old pharmacy that her uncle told her about, which was passed down to her by her mentor and then confiscated?

So the system knew that she needed a new plaque, so it simply helped her get into Yiting and get a ready-made one?

But things are not that simple. As long as the verdict of that year is not overturned, the Ji'antang brand will not be displayed.

It's just that she can't hang it up. If someone discovers that the previously confiscated plaque is gone, it will be easy for them to follow the trail and find her.

"System, this thing is too big to take away. How about we put it back where it was before I helped my uncle clear his grievances?"

Footsteps sounded at this moment, and two people entered the small courtyard, holding lanterns that lit up the windows.

They chatted while walking: "After all, it is the first thing that makes the new official take office. Lord Yi Ling has been studying past case files tirelessly since he took office. He asked us to review the files so late. It seems that he will not be able to rest tonight."

"Your Majesty is a capable minister who has been praised by His Majesty. He has picked out several doubtful cases in just a few hours. With that kind of background, his future prospects are limitless. Just listen to me, stop complaining if you have nothing to do, and follow suit. If you do it, you will have a future."

"I'm just talking too much in front of you." When the man said this, he suddenly let out a sigh: "My eyesight is not blurry, right? Why is this door lock broken?"

Another person was much more alert than him and immediately shouted: "There is a thief! Come quickly, a thief has entered the warehouse!"

While shouting, he picked up another person and ran outside the courtyard, fearing that the thieves would jump over the wall and hurt them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Qianhuai quickly reminded the system: "Leave now!"

"The reward is withdrawn successfully and the enforcement status is lifted. Use the shortcut system to reach the pinnacle of life! Thank you for your trust and support in version 1.2 of the shortcut system!"

With these words, Luo Qianhuai's consciousness returned to his body.

The plaque in her hand was made of a whole piece of solid wood coated with paint. She couldn't hold it at all and accidentally dropped it to the ground.

The good news is that the plaque was neither broken nor hit Luo Qianhuai's feet.

The bad news is that such a big object made a lot of noise when it landed, which was clearly heard by the people who just rushed into the courtyard. Someone was shouting orders: "The thief is still in the house! Surround the yard for me!"

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

"People inside, listen, you are surrounded. Put down your weapons immediately and come out of the house to avoid death!"

Being surrounded by thieves who were trying to break into the imperial court, Luo Qianhuai didn't know why he could still be so calm and sober.

Maybe he was tricked a lot by the system, so he grew up quickly, right?

She lowered her head in silence, picked up the black cloth that had been used to wrap the plaque, used it as a scarf, wrapped it tightly around her head and face, and tied a knot above the bridge of her nose.

"System." She called out: "I want to go home safely immediately without my identity being discovered. Please calculate the shortcut and enforce it!"

"The wish has been received. We are working hard to calculate the shortcut according to the host's needs..."

"Ding! The shortcut calculation was successful! Since the host's current ability is not enough to complete this plan independently, this system will enforce it!"

The next moment, Luo Qianhuai's body jumped up lightly and jumped onto the main beam. The faint breathing sound before suddenly stopped.

Luo Qianhuai looked along the east side of the main beam and saw a person.

He was dressed in black, his hair tied into a high ponytail with a cloth band. His face was covered by a black scarf, only his eyes were exposed. He was squatting in the corner on the beam, looking at her with burning eyes.

It turns out that this comrade is hiding here. I don't know if he can escape in this situation.

Just as Luo Qianhuai was thinking of this, the system had already hurriedly walked behind the colleague. Under his horrified eyes, he picked up the person and threw him out the door.

The unbearable feeling in Luo Qianhuai's heart just arose and disappeared without a trace.

Even if you are a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, you can't blame her for this.

It can be said that she was forced to come here by the system. Subjectively, she had no motive or premeditation for theft. But this man in black is different. He is a pure thief. The system catches and throws him away like this, and he has become a good justice. What citizens should do.

The people outside were already prepared. Under Siko Baiming's silent gesture command, more than a dozen detectives with knives had already approached the windows and doors. Just waiting for an order, they would forcefully rush into the warehouse and capture the thief alive.

In a flash of lightning, a man in black burst out of the door like a cannonball, directly knocking the two soldiers facing him to the ground.

Without any surprise, he was immediately suppressed by seven or eight long knives and unable to move.

"Don't, don't kill me!" He shouted loudly: "There is someone else in the house, she was the one who threw me out!"

The sound of tiles hitting each other sounded at the right time. When the officers and soldiers who had all their attention attracted by the man in black looked up, they saw an unforgettable scene.

From the damaged roof, a woman wearing ginger satin pajamas jumped out.

Her figure was graceful, her hands exposed outside her clothes were white and delicate, and a touch of golden light flashed from the cuffs, looming.

Unfortunately, the entire head and neck area was covered tightly by a huge black cloth, not even the eyebrows were exposed, and only a pair of eyes were as black as paint.

This woman was so relaxed that she was already out of the small courtyard while moving up and down.
