Chapter 6 Emptying the Homes of Their Enemies

Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting were both skilled in stealth, and they arrived at the Minister of Rites’ mansion’s warehouse without anyone noticing.

There were guards outside the warehouse.

To avoid raising any alarm, Fu Yanting blew some sleeping powder, causing them to fall asleep quickly.

Chu Chenyin cooperated with him perfectly, using her ancestral lock-picking skills to open the warehouse door.

The Chu family’s warehouse, although not as large as the Fu family’s, contained many good things. Besides jewelry, gold, silver, silks and satins, there were also many high-quality jade and gemstones. It was said that Minister of Rites Chu loved jade, and it was true. There were at least ten boxes of various types of ice jade, worth a fortune.

Chu Chenyin was dazzled by the sight. At Fu Yanting’s urging, she moved all these things into the space in one go.

After the warehouse, they moved on to the kitchen and the granary.

The Chu family’s granary, besides rice, oil, and the usual pigs, ducks, fish, and meat, also had many delicacies like bird’s nests, abalone, and sea cucumbers.

There was a whole box of high-quality blood bird’s nests alone.

Chu Chenyin was overjoyed and moved everything into the space. This was even more satisfying than when she used her phone to shop online.

After a series of operations, she had emptied the entire granary, not leaving a single grain behind.

Chu Chenyin cautiously looked outside and whispered to Fu Yanting, “General, we can go now.”

Fu Yanting stopped and turned around, “Wait, I’ll leave something behind.”

Chu Chenyin looked at him in confusion, “Leave what?”

On the empty table, a live turtle was placed, its head sticking out!

Fu Yanting clapped his hands together and walked towards her with a carefree air, whispering, “Let’s go!”

Chu Chenyin looked at the bewildered turtle and couldn’t help but twitch her lips, unable to help but laugh.

Turtle~ turtle~ bastard!

Minister of Rites Chu would probably die of anger if he saw this!

Amazing, he’s truly amazing!

Chu Chenyin sincerely bowed to him in her heart.

After leaving the Minister of Rites’ mansion, the couple followed the map to Prime Minister Wan’s mansion, Grand Tutor Liu’s mansion, and several other officials’ mansions who were in cahoots with them.

These corrupt officials had their warehouses filled with gold and their granaries overflowing with grain.

Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting swept through them like they were shopping, emptying them all in less than an hour.

Just as they were about to leave, a young servant who had been knocked unconscious by the sleeping powder slowly got up.

Chu Chenyin remembered this servant from the original owner’s memories. He was the Minister of Rites’ lackey and had led a group of thugs to rob many people of their grain.

“You! Who are you?” He swayed his dizzy head and shouted angrily at them.

Chu Chenyin frowned and quickly drew a dagger from her waist, striding forward and quickly stabbing him in the chest.

With a click, her movements were swift, but as she looked up, she saw that Fu Yanting had already drawn a dagger and pierced the servant’s throat before her.

The throat was cut, and the servant didn’t even have time to cry out in pain. He could only stick out his red tongue, his eyes wide open, and fell to the ground, lifeless.

Chu Chenyin looked at Fu Yanting, who had been smiling at her just now but now had fierce eyes and a ruthless hand, and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

Indeed, the unruly demon king wasn’t just a title.

Fu Yanting retracted the dagger, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off it, then returned to his usual arrogant self, “Let’s go!”

Chu Chenyin immediately snapped out of her thoughts, nodded and replied, “Where to next?”

Fu Yanting looked in the direction of the imperial palace, raised his eyebrows and smiled, “To deliver a grand gift to the dog emperor!”

Chu Chenyin looked up, following his gaze, “The imperial palace, the national treasury is empty, but there are still many good things inside. Let’s take everything we can eat, everything that can cure diseases, and everything that’s valuable.”

Fu Yanting turned his head to look at her, his eyes seemed to hold admiration. He raised his eyebrows and nodded, “That’s exactly what I had in mind. Let’s go!”

He said, reaching out to put his arm around her waist, and with a leap, they jumped onto the roof.

Although Chu Chenyin was good at stealth, she couldn’t match Fu Yanting’s light skills. After all, he was an ancient person.

And a skilled ancient person at that.

With Fu Yanting’s light skills and the living map in his head, they soon arrived at the imperial kitchen and the food storage room.

There were so many good things in the palace, countless vegetables, fruits, chickens, ducks, fish heads, eggs, and duck eggs from foreign tributes.

Among them were familiar vegetables like radishes, onions, chives, and fruits like lychees, peaches, plums, grapes, pomegranates, oranges, pears, apricots, apples, dates, longans, cherries, bananas, plums, and grapefruits.

There were also some delicacies that ordinary people couldn’t afford, like bird’s nests, shark fin, bear paws, and venison.

Looking at those extravagant ingredients, Chu Chenyin couldn’t help but curse, “The tyrant, no wonder the national treasury is empty.”

After she finished speaking, she picked up a lychee and took a bite.

Sweet, so sweet. No wonder there was the famous saying, “A rider gallops through the dust, the empress smiles, no one knows it’s lychees that have come.”

This was much tastier than the lychees she usually bought for over ten yuan a pound.

Fu Yanting stuffed the lychee in his hand into hers, while looking outside, “Have you moved everything?”

It was soon the hour of the tiger, and the palace maids would be getting up to prepare breakfast for the emperor and the other nobles.

“It’s all done. I’ll leave something behind and then we’ll go!” Chu Chenyin spat out the lychee pit, placed the things in her hand on the empty table, then raised her eyebrows and turned to walk towards Fu Yanting.

Fu Yanting looked back and couldn’t help but laugh.

In the empty warehouse, there was a turtle with its head retracted.

But this time, there was a rotten egg next to the turtle.

Indeed, couples are different.

Then, they went to the imperial hospital and the warehouse where tribute medicines were stored.
