The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 28 Bold
"Miss, your weapon."

Xiaonian handed the weapon to Qin Ruizhi, then walked along the deep alley to the opposite street, walked around in a circle, returned to the street, started running, and went straight to Guanglitong Store. When he saw the patrolling guard, he waved hurriedly Call them.

Because he was running so fast, Xiaonian spoke intermittently, "Fire...fire...it's on fire. It's burning down a whole street. The young master urgently calls you to put out the fire."

"Firefighting..."

The leader looked towards the burning red street. The flames were jumping into the air. That direction was indeed the Pei family's shop.

But why would they be assigned to put out the fire? Their mission has always been to guard Guanglitong Store.

Moreover, why would a girl be sent to deliver a message?

"Hurry up and go!" Xiaonian imitated the demeanor Qin Ruizhi gave her, and controlled her momentum very well. "If you don't go, it will delay the fire fighting and cause irreparable losses. The young master will not spare you."

The leader was dubious and asked tentatively: "Since we are putting out a fire, why did you send a girl here?"

Xiaonian said confidently: "I am the maidservant serving the young master. Everyone else in the mansion went to the shopping street to put out the fire, but there was still insufficient manpower. The fire was too big and there was no way to save them. So they had to send me to deliver the message and adjust the situation." You guys go help put out the fire.”

The man was still hesitating and couldn't make up his mind.

"Okay, you guys don't even listen to the eldest young master. I think you are just cheating and not wanting to put out the fire. I will go back and report to the eldest young master now, saying that you have neglected your duties and turned a blind eye to the Pei family's losses. Just wait. Pack up your bed and get out, no, the eldest young master will not let you get out easily, he will definitely skin you and make you compensate the Pei family for their losses."

Xiaonian's hands were held tightly, but fortunately he couldn't see them at all in the middle of the night.

This is the bottom line she can hold on to. The eldest lady only taught these words. If it doesn't work anymore, she doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Pei Xingheng still had a deterrent effect on them, and they finally moved. The leader waved his hand, "Let's go, follow me to the shopping street to put out the fire."

Then a group of six people quickly ran towards the shopping street.

They walked on the front foot, and Qin Ruizhi appeared at the door of Guanglitong Store on the back foot. She put the straight knife on the back of her waist, carried a big hammer on her shoulder, and walked calmly and sonorously.

"Xiao Nian, you have nothing to do here. Go back quickly. Turn off the lights and go to bed when you go back. If anyone asks you, just say that you went to bed early and don't say anything else."

"Ah."

Xiaonian nodded and ran into the dark night, and his figure was quickly swallowed up by the night.

"Boom!! Boom!!"

Two heavy blows with the hammer broke the chain locked on the big iron door. The heavy iron door slowly opened a crack, and Qin Ruizhi ducked in and closed the iron door.

Except for the chain that has fallen to the ground, everything else is strange.

Qin Ruizhi held Guanglitong's business notes in his hand. He had checked it out before when he exchanged money. He opened the door to welcome guests at the same time and closed the door as soon as the Yin hour passed. Then the shopkeeper and the accountant in the store would make the accounts and leave at the Mao hour. The door Close, lock.

Immediately afterwards, six guards patrolled at any time, and the guards rotated every three days.

Inside the store, on the right side of the door is the counter, separated by an iron fence. It's not clear what's going on inside.

Qin Ruizhi went in in the dark, blew open a fire, and got into the counter with the faint light of the fire. There was an iron door behind the counter, with two locks on it. After two clicks, it didn't open, so two more hammers came. Even the iron door was smashed and deformed, but it was finally unlocked.

Push the door open and go in. It's still an iron door, so keep smashing it.

Going in again, what you see is countless large boxes. When you open them, they are full of yellow gold and white silver.Gold and silver are not important, and they cannot be moved. What is important is the deed.

This is Qin Ruizhi's purpose.

After digging through the last box and searching every corner, I finally found a secret door embedded in the wall.

Since it is a secret door, the mechanism to open the door must be inside the house, and on the wall outside the secret door, there is a statue of the God of Wealth. With a slight turn, the secret door opens, and there are bookshelves inside. Listed are ledgers and deeds.

Qin Ruizhi opened one at random, which was an IOU for a high-interest debt, totaling 1 taels of gold, signed by Yan Zhongwu, the son of the governor of Puzhou.

Opening it again, it was a deposit deed, depositing 5000 taels of silver.

Borrow 3000 taels, deposit 500 taels, borrow 300 taels, deposit 8000 taels...

Qin Ruizhi grabbed a handful and approached the fire to ignite it. The moment the flames started, she exhaled a hot breath and blew out the flames.

After a while, the flames reignited.

Maybe you can do something interesting with these loans.

Qin Ruizhi bit the fire in her mouth, and with the help of a small light, she collected all the loan deeds and piled them into a small bulge. She took off her coat, wrapped all the loan deeds in her coat, and then carried it on her back. At the back, exited the secret room.

Leave the deposit room, retreat to the counter, and then retreat to the big iron door.

With her back against the big iron door, Qin Ruizhi glanced at it and threw the fire in her hand out. It landed on the window coffin and instantly ignited the paper sealing the window. A small starlight quietly grew.

A small man walked through the streets carrying a heavy package at a very fast speed. He turned from one street entrance to an alley entrance, then came out from another street entrance, and then turned into a yard before disappearing.

At this time, in Puzhou City, the fire was shining like daylight, and half of the city was awake. Those who helped put out the fire, those who watched the excitement, and those who gloated and looked forward to the downfall of the Pei family.

People from all walks of life have their own thoughts.

Pei Xingheng stood at the street corner and was stopped by several followers. He looked at the shops that were in flames and could not be saved from a distance. His eyes were scarlet and a tiger-like voice came out of his throat.

"Who is it? Who is so brave and dares to burn down my Pei family's shop? You'd better not survive tonight, otherwise when I find out, I will dig you out and crush you to ashes."

The fire can burn away all traces, but it cannot burn away the smell of pine oil.

The smell was very strong, and there was a faint smell of alcohol floating in the air. With double preparation and double insurance, the fire started from the south. The north wind that happened to come up at night used the wind to burn the whole house at a devastating speed. The whole street.

When the fire started and someone discovered it, they hurriedly mobilized people to put out the fire, but they couldn't save it at all. Even when they got close, they were suffocated by the smoke, so they couldn't save it naturally.

This method and this ability to act are truly admirable.

Unexpectedly, this small Puzhou is actually a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Chai Pei's eyes swept over everyone present. Some were slumped on the ground after putting out the fire, and some were watching the excitement. Everyone was performing their own expressions perfectly, and there was no abnormality.

At this moment, someone came to report: "Young Master, there is also a fire over there in the store."
