I am the seventeenth prince

Chapter 22 Chapter 022
The wind is getting cooler, and there is a trace of humidity in the air.

In the dead of night, the window on the second floor of Gufeng Inn quietly opened. Li Ye, dressed in black, carefully closed the window as if he was about to blend into the dark night.

call.

The faint sound of the wind sounded in the inn, and he jumped forward, with an almost imperceptible sound, he crossed the eaves softly, and soon sank into the dilapidated and dark alleyway.

In the first three days, he walked through several avenues including Guangwu Street, and he had already memorized the nearby route map in his heart.

At the entrance of the alley, Li Ye stood in the shadows and looked at the mansion not far away. It covers a lot of land, and the famous mansions in Yujing are not even named, but that is because Yujing is The center of the Yu Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, throwing anything on Yujing Road can easily hit an official, it just depends on whether the official is big or small.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration, but it also shows that there are many officials in Yujing.

The so-called two words of official, there is only a problem of more greed and less greed, less greed is a clean official, and more greed is a corrupt official.

And Li Ye's goal is to attach himself to the crown prince, a small official whose name is his elder brother. He is not very eye-catching, but as far as he knows, he has been an official for many years, and he has saved a lot of money no matter what he can do from a county official to a Beijing official.

Standing outside the house, he was not in a hurry to sneak into the mansion, but took out the 'Returning Qi Pill' produced by the system, swallowed a pill, and recovered the true energy in his body that was consumed by the journey.

Since he dared to 'borrow money', he must have done his homework beforehand.

Running the breath-holding technique, lowering the breath in his body and calming his heartbeat, he walked lightly towards the mansion not far away.

The closer he got, the more clear was the breathing of an ordinary person not far from the door. His feet lifted off the ground, and the person flew out, stepped on the fence, and landed in the mansion with ease.

The tree shadows in the distance swayed, and a wolf dog was lying down not far away, snoring.

Li Ye looked at the outline of the black landscape, except for a few turnings, all the extinguished lanterns, and identified the direction. The architectural style of the Yu Dynasty faces south and north, and the most central room must be the head of the family.

Judging from this, his footsteps were light and slow, although the speed was not fast, but it was extremely swift, and did not disturb the porter and the watchdog.

In the corridor, figures flashed quickly.

Came to a dark room, but there was a faint fragrance of ink, Li Ye looked at the door button post behind him, took out a dagger, and picked it up quietly. At night, the room creaked and was very humble.

From the half-open space, he entered sideways.

As soon as he stepped in, he was a little nervous, wiping off the sweat that didn't exist, and exhaled slowly.

Everyone has their first time. Before, they always comforted themselves not to be nervous, but for some reason, this heart!

It just doesn't listen, and feels a little irritating for no reason.

Getting used to the darkness of the room a little, Li Ye, who had practiced internal skills, had better vision at night than in his previous life, not to mention how good he was. He quickly began to search in the study.

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

After spending [-] gold in exchange for 'Institutional Insights', he saw some clues in one of the bookshelves, and when he reached out and touched it, he could feel the obvious traces of movement.

'Removable? '

Overjoyed, he turned the switch of the machine.

There was a clicking sound in the room, which was very light and sounded like the rotation of gears. With a whistling sound, the thin needle that pierced through the air was shot towards Li Ye quickly through the mechanism.

Li Ye is very familiar with this kind of voice, and he wears a similar hidden weapon on his sleeve.

As soon as the body twisted, the thin blue needle, which also glowed in the dark, pierced the wooden pillar, and the tail of the needle was shaking.

'It's really cunning, but if you are cunning, you still fall in my hands, box, and I will accept it. '

With the corner of his mouth slanted, he came to the half-moved wooden wall and looked at the treasure room above which formed a stepped grid. He first opened the small wooden box and saw some shining pearls and bracelets.

A little bit disappointed, as expected, they were all high-value treasures.

But there is a problem here, Li Ye is not the kind of kitsch person, he has a style, and he doesn't like this kind of thing.

After putting it back in place, he opened the big box below, and when he opened it, he seemed to see a bright yellow light.

Well, this is his delusion.

In front of him was a box of gold bars, stacked one upon another, neatly arranged in front of his eyes.

This is his favorite, there is no way, the system will recognize this, other items are greatly discounted, or the kind of big dive.

After opening two boxes in a row, Li Ye weighed the gold bars in his hands. Looking at the root of all evil, he silently said to the official sleeping in the bedroom, "This thing is too evil, so I'll put it away for you." '

Putting it back and closing the lid, with a thought, a wooden box was added to the vacated storage grid, and there was a number 2 at the bottom right of the grid.

Li Ye reached into his bosom, took out the 'back view card' he bought for 1 gold, with his autograph on it, from his official certification of the word 'handsome', put it in the treasure room, and then he came quietly, go quietly.

He didn't take a single cloud, but only two boxes of gold.

After climbing over the wall, the figure rushed into the dark alleyway.

Quickly walking through various dark alleys, he came to the outside of the mansion he had observed in advance, and was about to repeat his old tricks, when there was a sound of drunkenness at the entrance of the street not far away.

Retracted into the depths of the alleyway, in front of him are discarded wooden garbage, quietly waiting for the drunk to pass by.

"Brother, you are going back to Beijing to report on your work this time. We will say goodbye tomorrow. It will be a year before we meet next time. I wish I could drink two more glasses."

The drunk said with some regret.

"Why do you need a year, you are a Butterfly Village headhunter, you are walking around all year round, you can stop by Qingchuan to visit me, after all, you are afraid that I will let you buy me a drink, cheapskate, every time It's all at my request."

The two embraced each other, and when they were passing by the alley, they stood still.

"what happened?"

One of them looked at the friend next to him without moving, and his eyes were bleary.

"Someone seems to be hiding there?" The raised finger of another person pointed to Li Ye's hiding place.

"Is there?" The man glanced around and saw a dark image that seemed to be moving, "Are you drunk? Let's go back to the station and drink."

As he spoke, he dragged his friend along and continued to move forward.

After it was confirmed that the person was gone, Li Ye, who was hiding behind the wooden trash, heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that he was a little careless, since someone was walking at night, he didn't try his best to perform the breathing exercises in a hurry.

Fortunately, there was no danger this time.

After waiting for a while, Li Ye followed the same pattern and sneaked into the mansion again. First, he searched the study, a place that symbolizes privacy. Unlike the previous one, there seems to be no secret room in the study.

Then in other rooms, he searched for a while, but still couldn't find it. He looked towards the owner's bedroom.

In order to carry out the principle of not being empty-handed, he can only destroy the owner's happy night life.

He came to the door with the secret fragrance made by the poison doctor of the summer hospital. It was different from the TV drama. He was afraid that the head of the household would catch a cold. Under the gap, blow gently.

Smoke into the house.
