Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Chapter 219: Collect, Collect, Collect 2

They avoided the guards and came to the study. Yun Duo didn't even miss a brush and collected them all.

Wherever the cloud went, objects disappeared visibly. In the blink of an eye, the study was empty, with only a vase almost as tall as her left, standing conspicuously in the corner.

Yun Duo looked at it strangely. She could sense that this must be a trap. She didn't understand the trap, so she didn't move the vase easily. She knocked on the window three times. Cheng Yuheng heard the sound and pushed the window open. He asked in a low voice, "Duo Er, what's wrong?"

Yun Duo pointed at the vase and said, "Yu Heng, look?"

Cheng Yuheng looked at the vase standing in the empty room and said, "Duo'er, stand here and don't move."

Cheng Yuheng walked over cautiously, frowned, and observed the vase carefully.

He pushed the vase gently, but it didn't move. He tapped the vase gently, but didn't find anything different. He used a flashlight to shine inside the vase, but didn't find any buttons.

He walked around the vase a few steps and found that a brick under his feet was moving a little, so he squatted down and gently tapped the brick on the ground.

To his surprise, the brick seemed to be loose, so he used his hand to push the loose brick and it came out without much effort.

After he took out the brick, he found that the bottom of the vase was connected to the ground, forming a whole. And at the base of the vase, there was a device similar to a keyhole, which was obviously the key to open the mechanism.

Cheng Yuheng was delighted and immediately took out the wire he had used to unlock the door. He inserted the wire into the keyhole and tried several times, but still failed to open the mechanism.

She looked at Yun Duo and said, "Looks like we have to go find Magistrate Wang. We can't open this without the key."

"Let me try it," Yun Duo took out a set of professional lock-picking tools in the space. These were tools that the army specially equipped to their special forces for use in emergency missions.

Yun Duo put the lock fitter into the keyhole. She turned on the switch and the fitter automatically moved into the lock according to the internal structure of the keyhole. When the fitter stopped moving, Yun Duo turned the key and heard a click, and the lock opened.

With a click, a hole only wide enough for one person to pass appeared on the ground behind the vase, which was connected to the wall, and there was a step leading downwards.

"Yuheng, you stay upstairs, I'll go down and take a look."

"No, Duo'er, I'll go down first to check the situation. You can go down when it's safe."

Cheng Yuheng took the flashlight, turned up the light, and walked down the stairs carefully.

Not long after, Cheng Yuheng came up with a stack of letters in his hand. "Duo'er, our trip this time was not in vain. Look at this. This is the evidence of the Zhongzhou prefect's collusion with Beiqi. These are some correspondence letters, and there are also several boxes of account books, all of which are accounts of collusion with court officials to receive and send bribes.

This is an underground secret room. In addition to the secret letters and account books, there are dozens of boxes of gold and silver. Go down and collect them all. Let's leave as soon as possible."

After Yun Duo went down to the basement, even though she had seen the grand scene of gold and silver in the Jinyu Mantang Bank, she was still shocked by the wealth in front of her. A seemingly ordinary prefect actually hid such a huge amount of wealth in the secret room. The mountains of gold and silver treasures were dazzling.

A rough calculation shows that the gold, silver and banknotes amounted to more than one million taels. This shows how much of the people's money this prefect had extorted over the years.

After coming out of the secret room, Yun Duo felt extremely tired, as if all her strength had been drained away. Her steps became weak, and she could only stand firmly by leaning on Cheng Yuheng. Cheng Yuheng looked at her distressedly, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and nose, his eyes full of concern and love. He squatted in front of Yun Duo and said gently: "Duo'er, come up, I'll carry you, we have to leave this place as soon as possible."

"Yuheng, I'll be fine after a short rest. Let's go to the kitchen. I'm going to make this dog governor starve to death tomorrow morning. I won't leave any rice, flour, grain or oil in the kitchen for this dog governor."

"Silly girl, even if we take over the kitchen, he won't starve. Let's get out as soon as possible. You can rest on my back. We still have important things to do."

Yun Duo looked at him suspiciously. Cheng Yuheng handed a letter in his hand to Yun Duo, "Duo'er, take a look at this." Yun Duo blocked the light with her body, opened the letter that Cheng Yuheng handed to her and took a quick look at it.

"This bastard, I really want to chop off his wheat sack and kick it like a ball."

"It's so easy, doesn't it mean he got it easy? Duo'er, I'll carry you into the space, will you still be on my back when we come out?"

"I haven't tried this before. How about we give it a try?" Yun Duo took out a piece of black cotton cloth from the space and handed it to Cheng Yuheng. "Yuheng, use this to hold me up. This way, no matter when I come out, I don't have to worry about falling to the ground."

Cheng Yuheng carried Yun Duo on his back, and Yun Duo flashed into the space. He opened the window and jumped out of the study, then closed it gently again. Then he used his lightness skills to find a secluded place to stop. He looked at the watch on his wrist that Yun Duo had given him. When the time agreed with Yun Duo came, Yun Duo appeared on Cheng Yuheng's back on time.

Yun Duo said happily, "Yuheng, this method is feasible, that's great. It just so happens that I don't know Qinggong either, so as long as we agree on a time, we can use this method to go anywhere."

"Duo'er, this is just a stopgap measure. We can't use this method unless it's dangerous. I'm worried that if the space fails and you don't show up on time, it will be more trouble than it's worth."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Yun Duo was on Cheng Yuheng's back, hugging his neck and acting coquettishly, "Yuheng, I still want to collect all the ingredients in the prefect's kitchen, what should I do?"

"Duo'er, be good and stop messing around. No object is more important than your body, don't you understand?"

"Okay Yuheng, just obey me once, just once!"

Cheng Yuheng had a blank expression on his face. "Be obedient and go into the space to rest!"

"Good brother, just once, okay? I promise you that after we clean up the kitchen, I promise to go into the space obediently, okay?" After saying that, he kissed Cheng Yuheng on the cheek.

"You're such a nuisance! Don't get off my back," Cheng Yuheng's ears turned slightly red. He sighed indulgently, then tiptoed onto the roof and ran towards the big kitchen.

In no time, they arrived at the kitchen. There were basically no guards here. Yun Duo, riding on Cheng Yuheng's back, easily turned the kitchen into an empty room. The iron pot on the stove and the chopped firewood in the woodroom next door all disappeared.

Yun Duo was too tired to do all this, so she lay on Cheng Yuheng's back and said weakly, "I'm going to rest for half an hour. When you get there, find a safe place to wait for me."

"Okay, you can rest in peace in the space."
