Chapter 236 I Want to Be a Villain 26

The night is dark and windy, which is a good time to take action.

In the past few days, the entire Qian family has been busy with the old man's rituals, visiting temples and serving porridge at the porridge shop. Even the masters like the old lady and the second wife are almost exhausted, let alone the servants in the house.

So at night, there were almost no people walking around the house.

This is exactly what Tao Ran wants!

Otherwise, how could she plan and arrange so many activities for them in recent days? It is just to let them fall asleep early at night so that they can move around more easily!

Tao Ran climbed into the tree soon after falling into the night.

Looking through the telescope, she watched the two women who were watching the night go back to the servants' room. Because of fatigue, the women who patrolled the night these past few nights were also lazy, just walking around with a lantern to deal with the problem.

Coupled with the strong wind and cold weather that Tao Ran specially selected tonight, they were even more casual. They only came out and walked around for less than ten minutes before retreating back to their residence. The next time they come out for inspection, it will be an hour later...

So now, almost no one is seen in the entire Qian family's backyard.

The cold wind blew by, making Tao Ran shiver.

What a wonderful weather!

On a night like this, except for those who kill, set fire, and rob, who else is willing to work conscientiously?

Tao Ran slid down the tree.

Now, she's going to go out for a walk.

The mother-in-law in her yard slept in a small room at the gate of the yard, so naturally she couldn't go through the front door.

She walked towards the back wall of her courtyard.

Her yard was in disrepair and had long been unstable, so she had already cut a hole in the back wall for easy access. Several days passed and no one noticed.

At this time, she easily got through the hole and walked out, carrying props and tools with her, of course.

The prop is the tray in her hand.

The tools are all hidden under the clothes.

At this moment, Tao Ran was completely dressed as a maid.

What she was wearing was the uniform uniform worn by the maids of the Qian family. She held the tray and walked quickly with her head lowered, just like a little maid delivering things.

Don't be afraid even if you meet someone.

She's put on makeup.

The Taoist priest brought her a complete set of cosmetics. After using her modern makeup techniques, what she is wearing now is not Li Jingui's face, but something similar to Chuntao, the maid accompanying the second wife.

The reason for using such a face was carefully chosen by Tao Ran after observing various activities in the mansion recently.

Chuntao's stature and body shape are similar to Jin Gui's, and her facial features are also somewhat similar. The other people in the second room are far away from Tao Ran's target tonight, so they are less likely to be caught.

With the help of Tao Ran's makeup skills, her face and Chuntao's originally only two-point resemblance were now at least four to five points similar. Under the cover of the night, Tao Ran felt that the similarity between the two of them at a glance was at least 60%.

That will be enough.

So, Tao Ran walked into the Qian family's backyard in the night with a tray in his hands.

As observed by the telescope, Tao Ran walked for five minutes without encountering anyone.

Then, she arrived at the yard where Ni Hong lived.

As far as she knew, Ni Hong's place would have no more than three servants tonight.

Tomorrow morning we have to distribute porridge, which requires a lot of manpower. Therefore, all the courtyards have dispatched servants to help in the kitchen, even the old lady's courtyard is no exception.

Therefore, there is a high probability that there will be no servants here at Ni Hong tonight.

In addition, a close maid next to Ni Hong has returned to her hometown to deliver a letter and has not yet replied. Tao Ran speculates that she probably only needs one maid...

Tao Ran gently knocked on the door knocker.

A few seconds later, a little maid asked "Who is it?"

Tao Ran would not show timidity: "Open the door. Chuntao in the second wife's room was specially ordered to give something to the girl."

I heard that it was the Second Madam, the mistress of the house now second only to the old lady, who couldn't give her some face? Looking through the crack in the door, she looked like she was Miss Chuntao. The little maid quickly unlocked and opened the door.

"Is the girl here?"

"The girl has gone to bed."

"Who else is in the courtyard?"

"Apart from girls, there is only sister Xiaocui."

The door opened, and the little maid came with a lantern to guide Tao Ran. Tao Ran handed out the tray in her hand, and the little maid quickly put down the lantern to pick it up.

This time he bowed his head, and then...

Then the back of the little maid's neck went numb and she lost consciousness.

Tao Ran gave her a hand knife and numbed her directly.

After closing the door, Tao Ran dragged the little maid aside first...

She walked to the window. The room was quiet, and the people in the room were obviously asleep.

After looking around the rooms on the left and right to make sure there was no one else in the courtyard, Tao Ran took out a plate of incense that had been strung with a string from his waist. After lighting the incense sticks, he hung it from the slightly opened window. He went in, closed the window, sat under the window and waited...

what else can we do?

She asked the Taoist priest to make smoke, but in the end the Taoist still couldn't do it. He didn't even give enough medicine. Later, it was only after Tao Ran put pressure again and agreed to pay fifty taels of silver that the Taoist priest got such a small plate of incense.

It is said that although the incense takes at least a quarter of an hour to take effect, the effect is similar to smoke.

After inhaling it for a quarter of an hour, the whole person will become drowsy and unable to open his eyes. In a quarter and a half, you will fall asleep and enter hallucinations in your dreams... In short, the longer you inhale, the better the effect of immersing yourself in dreams, similar to a high-end version of sleeping pills.

Tao Ran used some for the gatekeeper in his courtyard two days ago. After a while, the woman was so sleepy that her eyelids trembled. She didn't even know Tao Ran was approaching. She smiled at the corner of her mouth and lay there snoring... almost half of the time. After an hour, I slowly woke up.

The effect is quite good.

She knew it! There is no way that the deceitful Taoist priests don’t have this kind of thing in their hands! They travel around the world and deceive rich people. You have to prepare some "magic medicine" that can make people obedient and confused and fall into dreams, right?

At that time, the Taoist priest said: "I only have so much on hand, and I've given it all to you. You can use it at your leisure. This small coil of incense is only enough to be effective in one room. It will take about half an hour to burn it all. The person who inhales it will probably be asleep. Two hours. Pay attention to yourself. Don’t get caught!”

Just like that, Tao Ran waited at the window.

Tao Ran was very pressed for time tonight. After almost ten minutes, she called "girl" and "sister Xiaocui" outside the door...

No one responded. While Tao Ran blocked his nose, he took a deep breath and went in directly holding the lantern.

As expected, there were only two people in the room.

Xiaocui was sleeping on the couch next to Ni Hong's bed. Both master and servant were breathing evenly and sleeping deeply.

Tao Ran patted Xiao Cui's face, and Xiao Cui only opened her eyes in a daze, then closed them again.

"Who?" Xiao Cui asked unclearly.

"I, Chuntao, the Chuntao next to the second wife."

"Oh..." Xiaocui fell asleep again.

Tao Ran patted Ni Hong's face again. This guy was sleeping even more deeply than Xiao Cui.

What are you waiting for?

Tao Ran changed the position of the incense and placed it next to the bed, allowing the master and servant to breathe fully, and then took out a sack from his waist.

She showed no mercy tonight.

The first thing to do in a dark and windy night is robbery!
