Chapter 78 Finding the Ledger
After everyone finished ordering the show, the people behind began to prepare.

There was a bang on the stage, and a handsome martial artist came out from behind the scenes. He was thin, wearing a costume with red arrow sleeves and gold. He was tied with five-color silk around his waist. His hair was tied high on his head and neatly tied with gold rings. Then, a group of flying phoenix eyes were slightly raised, looking around proudly, and all the essence shot out from under his long curtain-like eyelashes. This temperament alone is enough to make people heartbroken.After jumping up, he made a turn in the air, landed gently on one foot, and the colorful silk around his waist spread out like a bird's screen along with his figure, and sang loudly: "Look at the vastness around you, thousands of miles of silver makeup. It guides the mountains and rivers. , put it all into the poem bag, laugh, how many times can life have such scenery?
The old man likes to watch this kind of opera that sings about the mountains and rivers of the motherland. The people who accompanied him watched it with gusto. Just when everyone was so mesmerized, they had no idea that there was no one at the table.

Huo Jiuge sneaked out of the table. As usual, the gifts of today's guests should be registered and put into the warehouse for storage. There are only a few times in a year when Qin will open the warehouse at important moments like this. It is also Huo Jiuge's only chance to find the account book.

She had just walked halfway when she met Qin Junnan who had also slipped out of the banquet. Seeing a strange man appear in the inner house, Huo Jiuge thought he was just a guest who couldn't find his way, so she was displeased by his appearance. No defense at all.

Qin Junnan's eyes lit up when he saw Huo Jiuge appearing in front of him. He had only glanced briefly at the rockery before, but only after looking closer did he realize how beautiful the beauty in front of him was.

She had a pair of clear and bright eyes, like clear springs flowing from the valley. The two happened to meet each other and saw his face clearly. Huo Jiuge frowned: Why did he harass him in the restaurant that day? The man actually appeared here?

As a dandy and prodigal, Qin Junnan's first thing to do when he came to the capital was to take care of the major Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion. Although he was drunk in the Juxing Tower that day, he vaguely remembered that he met a fairy there. Beauty, but after waking up from alcohol, he found himself lying on the bed at home. He still remembered that feeling of loss.

Now that he saw the lost beauty reappearing in front of him, he vowed that he must seize this opportunity. If he could really marry such a beautiful person, he would never touch another woman in his life!

"This girl looks so familiar. Have we met somewhere?" He thought that by pretending to be upright and affectionate, he could leave a good impression on Huo Jiuge, but who knew that the other party would not even look at her? Not willing to give alms to him.

Huo Jiuge rolled his eyes at him and said impatiently: "I have never left this Rongguo Duke's mansion. You must have recognized the wrong person! And this is the inner house. If you go the wrong way, please go along Go straight along this stone path and get out of this place!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Qin Junnan held her wrist. Huo Jiuge turned around in surprise. When he was about to call someone, Qin Junnan said, "Are all the ladies in the Huo family as hot-tempered as you?"

"If you don't let go, I will call someone." Huo Jiuge warned him: "In this Rongguo Duke's mansion, I don't care how noble your status is, as long as you mess with me, I can make you suffer. Walk!"

Hearing what she said, Qin Junnan let go of his hand. He was not afraid. On the contrary, he was more interested in the woman in front of him.

He was like a ferocious beast, watching his prey escape in his hands with playful eyes. The more she struggled, the more he liked it. It was best to struggle under him, so that it would be fun to enjoy it.

He has been in love for many years, and he has concluded an eternal truth: the more character and moral a woman has, the more interesting it is to abuse her.

"I just got lost and accidentally walked into the inner house. If I accidentally offended the lady, please calm down!" He pretended to be lost and even wanted Huo Jiuge to take him out. , so that he can wait for an opportunity to strike.

"Haha -" Huo Jiuge obviously didn't believe his words, but she didn't want to argue with this scoundrel. Today was her grandfather's birthday, and she didn't want to be disturbed by this scoundrel.

Just at this time, a group of maids carrying fruit plates passed in front of them. It seemed that they should be sent to the stage. Huo Jiuge quickly stopped them.

"Hello, Fifth Miss!" Everyone bowed their heads and saluted Huo Jiuge.

"Well." Huo Jiuge looked at the maid in front of him, then pointed at Qin Junnan next to him and said, "This young master is lost. Take him to the front yard."

"Yes!" The maids accepted the order, and then said to Qin Junnan: "Master, please come with us."

This Qin Junnan was still immersed in Huo Jiuge's beauty and couldn't extricate himself. It wasn't until the maid called him several times that he was brought back to reality. "Eh, eh." He realized his gaffe. In order to save his image in front of Huo Jiuge, he quickly adjusted his attitude and then said to the maids: "You can help the girls lead the way."

"Master, please come this way -" The maid made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he should go that way.

Qin Junnan had no choice but to leave with the maids first and look for opportunities later. After Huo Jiuge solved his problem, he immediately turned around to complete his unfinished business.

Qin Junnan turned around reluctantly, only to find that the other party's figure quickly disappeared in front of him.

Huo Jiuge came to the door of the warehouse where the property was stored in Duke Rong's mansion, and found that the servants were carrying heavy boxes and transporting them into the warehouse. There were strong men with spears guarding the outside. Everyone must first go through a rigorous search to ensure that every property here is safe.

She finally waited until the people inside came out, and now only the guards outside were left. She picked up a stone and threw it, deliberately making noise and attracting the attention of the guards.

Sure enough, they heard the sound of a stone falling to the ground, which immediately aroused the guard's alert. The two looked at each other and looked for the sound.

Upon seeing this, Huo Jiuge ran in quickly.

This warehouse is very large, and is divided into several areas. Some are specifically for jade, and some are specifically for calligraphy and painting. There is also a large section set aside for gold and silver, and even clothing has its own special place.

For the first time, Huo Jiuge had a concrete understanding of the financial resources of the Duke of Rongguo.

She looked at the wealth piled up in front of her, took a deep breath, and then began to search seriously.

She wanted to find the account book before those people came, and after thinking about the place where the account book was placed, she felt that it must not be visible to the naked eye. There should be some dark room or something like this, specially used to store this thing.

In order to prevent people outside from hearing what was going on inside, she could only knock gently against the wall with her hands. Finally, she found a place where she found nothing.

But at this moment there was a noise outside, which frightened her and she quickly squatted down. Because she was hiding behind the box, people could not find her for the time being.

"Hurry!" An urging voice came to my ears: "There is only one trip outside. Let's go out as soon as the transportation is over. Today, the third lady invited the best theater troupe in the capital to celebrate the master's birthday. Let's hurry up. Once the things are moved, there might be one last scene."

Hearing what the housekeeper said, they instantly became motivated and worked much more efficiently.

Hearing the footsteps of their departure, Huo Jiuge stood up from behind the box. There was not much time left for her now. If she couldn't leave before that group of people, she would never be able to leave again once the warehouse door closed. Can't get out.

But she didn't have the key, so after thinking about it, she could only follow the trick she had learned before. She took off her hairpin and used a wire to pry it. There were things in her space that she had not used the last time. She took out a piece of wire and fiddled with it for a while, and finally saw the account book she had been looking for for a long time. She flipped through a few pages at will. After confirming that this was real, she took out the fake account book and the real account book hidden on her body. Dropped the bag.

Doesn’t Mr. Qin love to lie?Now it's her turn to use fakes!
