102 Chapter 102 Causing Trouble (3)
When they passed by the servants’ room, the couple blew over the knockout powder to knock everyone out.
Then, they almost encountered a patrol team when they walked to the central courtyard. Afterward, the two hid in a rock decor and observed the surroundings. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
In the end, it was confirmed that there were two teams of five people, and the interval between each group rotating was quite long.
The two of them stayed in the rock decor and waited for the patrol team to come over. They blew some knockout powder and carried the fainted people into the decor.
They proceeded to knock everyone out in the manor. According to the layouts of the manor, they found a study in a courtyard in the northeast.
Gu Chengrui stepped forward and used a wire to open the lock. The two of them put on shoe covers and gloves respectively before quietly walking in.
Seeing that the curtains inside were down, Zhou Ying took out two small thumb-sized flashlights and carefully looked for the Qiao family’s account book containing evidence of the crime.
Very quickly, the couple found the account book. However, it was apparent that it was just a surface-level accounting book. But it was not difficult to see that the business of all the Qiao family restaurants wasn’t doing well, especially the restaurants in this town. They basically maintained a level of neither profit nor loss.
He didn’t know who the county governor backing Elder Qiao was, but he still put down the letter.
After the two of them left the study, they were a little depressed when they saw that they hadn’t gotten many results.
Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui continued looking for the manor’s various storehouses. First, she found a storehouse of about 100 square meters beside the kitchen. Inside, there was all kinds of food; cured meat, frozen meat, dried vegetables, pots, bowls, ladles, and so on. She put all of them into her interspace.
Then, they went to the warehouse in the front yard. Because it was where they kept their money, two people were left to guard it. When they went over, the two guards were chatting in low voices.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying directly took out a tranquillizer gun, put the two people to sleep, and then stepped forward to take back the needles.
Looking at the big lock on the door, Gu Chengrui immediately went forward to unlock it. He pushed the door open and walked in.
However, the Qiao family was not as rich as they had imagined. They had only received less than ten thousand taels of silver from the warehouse.
There was also a small chest of silver pieces and a large chest of copper coins.
Finally, they found about five thousand taels of silver in a paper form inside a drawer. Seeing that they had got what they could, the two of them wiped away their traces and retreated.
After they left the manor, they went straight home and fell asleep.
