Chapter 118: Getting Rich (1/2)

At night, Li Yan's clone, who had sneaked into Jin's house during the day, began to act.

At first, he only locked on ten targets, but through the information obtained by the clone of [Shamushan], Li Yan expanded the number of targets to fifteen.

Because these fifteen targets were no longer in Jin's house at this moment.

Li Yan didn't even need to put out smoke or drugs, he just broke in, took the things and ran away.

By the time they found out, Li Yan might have spent all the money they contributed.

The first one, Li Yan chose was the third steward of the kitchen named Tan.

Li Yan heard that this man was stingy and greedy. Not only did he like to deduct the monthly salary of his subordinates, but he also liked to steal some tonic things, such as exotic beast meat.

Once he was discovered, he pushed it to the fire workers in the kitchen, causing the fire workers to be caught and beaten to death.

It can be said that the fire workers in the kitchen all hated and feared this man.

However, this man had a steward father who was given the surname Jin, and ordinary stewards could not do anything to him, let alone those fire workers.

These are what Li Yan learned from the conversations of the firemen in the kitchen when they were resting.

The biggest reason why Li Yan chose this person was not because he was so bad, because his behavior was just a minor incident in the Jin Mansion.

It was because his father, the steward who was given the surname Jin, happened to have passed away more than ten days ago, and his father's inheritance was all in his house.

Li Yan had already known the terrain of the outer mansion of the Jin Mansion very well, and soon he came to the house of the charcoal steward.

Along the way, Li Yan's biggest feeling was that it was much quieter, with only a few guards still patrolling, and there were fewer lanterns hanging at night.

However, the inner mansion, from a distance, was still brightly lit, with a scene of singing and dancing, and there was no change compared to usual.

In the Jin Mansion, when you reach the position of steward, you will generally be assigned a separate room of considerable space, but it is all set up in the steward's work area.

Just like the steward of the firewood room, the house assigned to him is in the firewood room.

And the house assigned to the charcoal steward is also near the kitchen.

There are six stewards in the kitchen, one first-class steward, two second-class stewards, and three third-class stewards.

The six stewards are assigned to the same house, so Li Yan must be careful not to attract the attention of other stewards, otherwise he can only blame the other stewards for bad luck.

Li Yan silently jumped onto the wall more than ten feet high, and looked inside. Only three rooms were still lit, and faint voices came from inside.

The other three rooms were quiet and there was no light.

Li Yan's target was one of the three rooms.

Leaping onto the roof, Li Yan lay on the roof to listen to the sound.

Steward Tan has not married and had children yet, and stewards in the Jin Mansion married late.

So, as long as there is no sound in that house, it is Steward Tan's house.

"Found it."

After exploring all three houses, Li Yan found the target.

Then, Li Yan went directly into the house along the chimney.

With a shake of his whole body, most of the ash fell off, and Li Yan didn't care about the rest.

The house was very messy and there was some peculiar smell, which was consistent with the living characteristics of a man living alone.

Li Yan had some experience in searching for hidden wealth.

So, in less than a quarter of an hour, after almost turning over the house, Li Yan found the wealth hidden by the charcoal steward.

"Sure enough, he inherited his father's property."

After looking at the nearly five thousand taels of silver notes and hundreds of taels of gold, Li Yan smiled.

Then, he left a line of words in the room, saying that the thief Cheng Liuxiang had visited here.

After that, he swallowed the silver notes and gold and silver, and Li Yan left this place through the chimney again.

The second house, the second-class steward of the affairs hall.

This person was the one who killed Song Fei. Li Yan chose him to collect some interest in advance.

Very smoothly, Li Yan swept away all the money in his family.

This person was also quite wealthy and contributed three or four thousand taels of silver notes to Li Yan.

There were also some silver ingots and broken silver, and Li Yan had nothing left, so he took them all.

But considering that he had thirteen families to visit today, these things were simply a burden, and finally thrown away in a corner.

Waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

In this way, Li Yan came all the way and plundered all the wealth of the eighteen stewards.

Among them, some stewards already had wives and children, so Li Yan took away the valuables and kept the remaining silver ingots and broken silver.

Those without wives and children were all taken away, the valuables were swallowed, and the troublesome ones were thrown on the roadside, waiting for their next owner.

The reason why there were eighteen families and three more was that the stewards of these three families were more alert, and Li Yan's whereabouts were discovered.

Naturally, Li Yan dealt with them all.

One of them was at the peak of blood exchange. If he hadn't successfully attacked Li Yan from behind and his vigilance was relaxed to the greatest extent, Li Yan might not have been able to take him down in three or two moves.

Li Yan recognized this person, a first-class steward in charge of the outer palace treasury.

At that time, Li Yan realized that this time he had made a great harvest, and later it was proved that Li Yan was not wrong. He gained the most from this person.

Not only did he get more than 15,000 taels of gold and silver, but he also got three [Liver and Gallbladder Relationship Pills]. Li Yan had seen this pill on the second floor of [Tianbao Tower] two days ago, but he didn't expect that he would buy it.

This is a pill that can greatly speed up the process of nourishing the kidneys. After taking three pills, the liver can be nourished within a month if the blood supply is sufficient.

Now, Li Yan has obtained three kinds of pills that can be used in the Yun Zang realm.

It is enough for Li Yan to nourish the heart, liver, and kidneys in three months after entering the Yun Zang realm.

When Li Yan had plundered all the targets, his body had become fatter than before.

That is to say, the guards of the outer mansion were really pitiful at this time, otherwise Li Yan would be discovered as soon as he appeared.

In the end, Li Yan left the Jin Mansion in a swagger.

From beginning to end, the few guards of the Jin Mansion did not find any trace of Li Yan.

However, by tomorrow, Li Yan's deeds will be exposed.

After all, he killed three stewards.

Among them, there was even a branch of the Jin family, the first-class steward who was in charge of the outer mansion warehouse. This was no small matter.

Even if the guards of the outer mansion of Jin Mansion will not increase in the future, I am afraid that those managers will transfer the money of the family.

Therefore, this time can be said to be the last time Li Yan plundered the outer mansion of Jin Mansion.

Of course, Li Yan did not care. The money he plundered this time was at least nearly 100,000 taels. For a long time in the future, he would not have to worry about money.

Returning to the first house that Li Yan rented in Linjiang City, Li Yan glanced at the house next to him, turned around and walked into the basement of this house.

Li Yan no longer monitored the neighbors next to him, because both of them had died, and both died miserably.

The man died in [Evil Tomb Mountain], and it was Li Yan who collected the body. Half of his body was blown up and half of his head was missing.

The woman was stabbed to death in bed by his handsome informant. She couldn't believe until her death that the person who killed her was her favorite person.

Afterwards, the informant also swept away all the silver bills that Li Yan had been eyeing.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

Can Li Yan tolerate this?

He followed the other party directly and waited until he got to his house. After the man relaxed, Li Yan attacked and killed him.

He took the silver bills he had just received and the silver bills he had saved, totaling more than 6,000 taels.

It is worth mentioning that the informant's family had more money.

And the woman's original more than 5,000 taels, after just a few days, only less than 3,000 taels were left.

I don't know where she spent it.

In the basement, Li Yan's clone used his hand as a knife to cut open his stomach, and banknotes and gold rolled on the ground.

Among them, most of the banknotes were worth fifty taels, and a few were worth hundreds or thousands of taels.

Fortunately, these large banknotes were placed next to corresponding tokens, which made Li Yan very happy.

Perhaps, these housekeepers would not think that their money could be stolen after they were placed in the Jin Mansion.

Obviously, the previous two thefts in the Jin Mansion caused by Li Yan did not serve as a warning.

However, it is hard to say after this time.

It took nearly half an hour for Li Yan to count all these banknotes, gold, and all the remaining banknotes and gold and silver.

Finally, the result was obtained.

The total amount of banknotes that can be used directly is 86,550 taels.

There are also large-value banknotes that need to be exchanged for silver before they can be used, totaling 19,000 taels.

The total weight of gold is 3,720 taels.

The total weight of the silver is 2,430 taels.

There is still some silver in the main body, which the clone did not count.

The final result is that Li Yan currently has 145,180 taels of silver.

You don't know if you don't count it, but this calculation shocked Li Yan.

This amount of silver is probably enough to equal the annual income of the Li family.

"It seems that I will never lack silver in the future."

Li Yan looked at the silver bills and gold and silver on the ground and muttered to himself in a daze.

"It's a pity that the auction of [Tianbao Pavilion] has ended. Otherwise, with this money, not only can other elixirs that shorten the training time of the other two organs be bought, but also all martial arts can be replaced with top-level ones."

Li Yan has already started practicing the top-level swordsmanship - [Nine Yang Blade of Flame].

Even with the second-rate swordsmanship of the perfect level as the foundation, the progress of [Nine Yang Blade of Flame] is still a bit slow, and can only increase 300 points of proficiency a day.

However, you should know that just to get started, [Nine Sun Blade of Flame] requires 5,000 points of proficiency. I really don’t know how much proficiency is needed to practice to the Great Perfection.

However, if others knew Li Yan’s practice speed, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

This is a top-level martial art. Even a recognized genius needs several months to practice a top-level sword technique to the small success level.

In contrast, Li Yan only needed less than twenty days.

Obviously, as Li Yan's clones became more and more, and his soul became stronger and stronger, his speed of practicing martial arts would become faster and faster.

In the end, even the top geniuses would not be able to defeat him in practicing martial arts.

And such a phenomenon has gradually begun to emerge.

It was dawn. For Li Yan, a new day began, but for the outer mansion of the Jin Mansion, it was their most panicked day.

The bodies of the three stewards killed by Li Yan have been found, and the stewards of the eighteen families who were looted are also gradually being revealed.

The name of the thief Cheng Liuxiang resounded throughout the outer mansion of the Jin Mansion, and even the people in the inner mansion had heard of it.

Jin Fenglin was furious when he heard about this, and immediately ordered people to find out the news about Cheng Liuxiang.

After that, he sent people to arrest the last batch of guards in the outer mansion and tortured them severely to see if they colluded with outsiders to steal the property of the Jin Mansion.

Otherwise, how to explain that the outer mansion had just transferred a large number of guards and immediately encountered a large-scale theft.

Moreover, even if they did not collude with outsiders, it was a serious mistake in their duties, and they were bound to bear the blame.

The outer mansion also needs the blood of one person, or a group of people, to show the authority of the Jin family.

As for whether the outer mansion will increase guards in the future, Jin Fenglin did not make any statement.

In his heart, the inner mansion is the most important, and the guards protecting the inner mansion is the most important. The outer mansion is just a place where a group of slaves live and it is not worth paying too much attention.

In fact, if there were no direct descendants of the Jin family among the dead this time, and the thieves were too rampant, it would be a slap in the face of the Jin mansion.

The mere theft of property would not be reported to Jin Fenglin's desk.

And Jin Huolin, who prepared supplies and action plans overnight yesterday, had to strengthen the protection of supplies again after hearing about Cheng Liuxiang's behavior.

These supplies cannot be stolen.

Jin Huolin and his group of hundreds of people hurried and finally transported more than ten trucks of supplies to the mountain in the afternoon of that day.

"Uncle Fenglei, how is it going? Have you found the location of the tomb?"

As soon as he arrived at the busy excavation site, Jin Huolin couldn't wait to ask Jin Fenglei who had been sitting here.

"Not yet. We estimate that the tomb is hundreds of feet deep from the ground. We have only dug 70 feet deep so far, and the deeper we dig, the more difficult it is."

"The last thirty feet will probably take about two days."

Jin Fenglei looked at the ten-foot-wide, bottomless pit in front of him and said calmly.

"This, it will take two more days. Isn't this a bit slow? We don't have much time."

Jin Huolin almost cursed when he heard that it would take two more days, but fortunately he knew the temper of the person in front of him. If he dared to curse, he would be thrown down directly.

He won't die, but he will be in a very embarrassing situation.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I have been paying attention to the time. It's in time."

Jin Fenglei glanced at Jin Huolin and said calmly.

"You are not in a hurry, but I am."

Jin Huolin could not help but complain in his heart.

"Uncle Fenglei, did those servants, stewards and guards continue to dig at night?"

"Of course not. If they work at night, how can they have the energy to continue working during the day?"

Jin Fenglei looked at Jin Huolin as if he was an idiot.

At this time, Jin Huolin did not care about Jin Fenglei's eyes, but showed a trace of joy.

"Haha, Uncle Fenglei, just watch, I will let these servants dig the tomb before tomorrow morning."

"My nephew will take his leave first."

After saying that, Jin Huolin left after performing an elder's etiquette.

Watching Jin Huolin leave, Jin Fenglei could not help but sigh.

"A dragon in the abyss will soar into the sky. I am afraid that after this incident, the position of the young patriarch of Huolin will be as stable as Mount Tai."

"It seems that we have to stop investing in Huoyu."

Huoyu is Huolin's younger brother and Jin Fenglin's second son.

Less than half an hour after Jin Huolin left, an explosive piece of news spread throughout the camp.
