Chapter 566 Sneaking into Prince Ping’s Mansion
Just do it!
That evening, when it was getting dark but not completely dark, Qiao Ran put on a black tights and quietly walked into Prince Ping's Mansion.
Why didn't she choose to act in the middle of the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high?
Because according to her experience, generally speaking, just because most people choose to act in the middle of the night, the guards in these wealthy families will be more vigilant in the middle of the night.
Moreover, when everything is silent in the middle of the night, any slight noise will be amplified countless times, making it even harder to avoid being discovered.
Therefore, she did the opposite and took action before it was completely dark.
At this time, no one would think that someone dared to sneak into the house and do bad things, so the defense was actually the most relaxed.
Sure enough, when Qiao Ran sneaked into Prince Ping's Mansion, the people in the Prince's Mansion who had just turned on the lights were full of people. The maids and servants were carrying food or basins and handkerchiefs to various courtyards to wait on the masters of each courtyard to wash their hands and eat.
Qiao Ran did not go to those crowded courtyards, but went to the corner of the palace that was least visited but was guarded by many experts either openly or covertly.
When Qiao Ran saw a room that was obviously the palace's warehouse, Qiao Ran hid behind a pillar and saw the guards in the light rubbing their stomachs. Someone sighed:
"The food in the palace is so delicious. You can smell the tempting aroma from a long distance away."
"Hey, we're going to change shifts later, so we brothers should go out for a meal! I heard that the prince has been in a bad mood these days. He lost his temper this afternoon and ordered him to be beaten to death. There’s a pretty maid who wants to crawl into bed!”
"That little maid is also blind. She just chooses to climb into bed when her master is in the worst mood. Can't she be offended?"
"Hush! You talk nonsense about the master behind his back, you don't want to live anymore! Take good care of the warehouse, and you will be punished later. It doesn't matter what others do, anyway, we do our own thing well, and if we guard the warehouse, we won't be able to blame him."
The few guards who gathered together and whispered among themselves immediately dispersed and braced themselves for the last shift of the day.
Qiao Ran looked around and hid in a dense tree. She took out her infrared night vision glasses and scanned around the warehouse, finding a few secret guards hiding in the dark.
Qiao Ran took out a few small silver needles and fired them out with the help of infrared glasses.
Then he moved as quickly as a ghost to stabilize the fallen guards so that they would not make any noise when they fell and alert the other guards.
After taking care of several secret guards, Qiao Ran knocked down the guards who were waiting listlessly for their shift and quickly arrived at the door of the warehouse.
It is indeed the warehouse of Prince Ping's Mansion. It is incomparable with the warehouses of those big and small officials' mansions. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has copper walls and iron walls.
I saw that the warehouse was made of very hard granite stones, and it was difficult to be shaken by external forces.
The entire warehouse has no windows to prevent people from snooping through the windows and breaking in through them.
The door of the warehouse is a solid iron door made of two large pieces of black iron, with six door bolts and six large iron locks attached to it.
Qiao Ran clicked her tongue: "What a shame! There are three hundred taels of silver in this place!"
Is this warehouse made so strong to prevent others from knowing that there are many gold and silver treasures in this warehouse?
However, even if they knew it, it would be difficult for ordinary people to approach the warehouse door without alerting the secret guards and guards.
Even if you get close, you can't open the heavily locked iron door.
However, this "ordinary people" does not include her, Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran sighed, but her hand did not hesitate at all. She quickly took out a piece of iron wire from the space, poked and turned it, and opened a large lock in almost two seconds.
In the blink of an eye, six large iron locks also made of black iron were opened so easily by Qiao Ran.
Then she dodged into the warehouse. The moment she entered, even Qiao Ran, who had already ransacked officials' warehouses several times, couldn't help but gasp.
The area of this warehouse is more than twice as large as those in other large government buildings. It has various exquisite display cabinets and wooden shelves filled with various ornaments that are of great value at first glance.
There is a red coral tree that is taller than a person, and a very exquisite jade screen.
In addition, there are jade cabbage, celestial celestial lamp, Jin Ou permanent cup, cloisonné enamel heater, fist-sized luminous pearls, colorful glass bottles that are very rare in this era...
The bright colors and dazzling array are simply dazzling.
In addition to these precious ornaments and ornaments, there are countless boxes and wooden boxes piled on the ground.
Qiao Ran walked over and opened a box, which was full of various jade jewelry.
Then she walked to a pile of wooden boxes and opened the lid of a wooden box. The box was full of yellow that almost blinded her!
Huh! This Prince Ping is simply crazy. The blood and tears of many people are soaked in these gold, silver and jewelry.
Anyway, it was going to be sent to the palace for the dim-witted emperor to enjoy, so Qiao Ran took it away without any ceremony!
In the blink of an eye, the overcrowded warehouse, together with wooden boxes, cabinets, and shelves, all disappeared.
That's not all. Based on Qiao Ran's past experience, in addition to the warehouse, Prince Ping's Mansion will definitely have a basement.
Since he has so many weapons hidden outside, it is impossible not to hide some in the house in case of emergencies.
So she took out the iron rod used to hit people and quickly tapped it on the stone bricks on the ground.
However, it is obvious that King Ping did not dig a basement in the warehouse, probably because he felt it was not safe in the same place.
Since it's not here, it's probably in Prince Ping's study or bedroom.
Qiao Ran put away the iron rod, quickly left the warehouse, and locked the six big locks back again.
A new batch of guards will soon come to change the guard. Qiao Ran took back the silver needles that were tempered with powerful anesthetics from the guards and secret guards, and stuffed them with a pill, so that they could wake up after a while. He had no idea what was going on and continued to stand guard as if nothing had happened.
The fact that the warehouse is empty should be exposed as late as possible. It is best to wait until three days later when the emperor sends people to inspect the palace, and then let the emperor suspect that Prince Ping deliberately transferred the property in defiance of the order. hey-hey!
Qiao Ran rushed to Prince Ping's study and bedroom without stopping, and brought down the secret guard in the same way.
However, there was nothing in the study except books.
However, in the bedroom, Qiao Ran discovered a clue.
As usual, she took out the iron rod and gently knocked on each brick.
Soon, Qiao Ran stopped in front of a stone brick.
He put the iron rod back into space, took out a slender iron drill, pried open the stone brick, and saw a hole that could only be accessed by one person.
Sure enough, she just said it!
Prince Ping was indeed an old fox. He did not dig the secret room in the most likely warehouse or study room, but dug it in his own bedroom, just under the bed.
