After they left, Zhou Ying glanced at the manor.

Although the manor looked very ordinary, the fact that assassins lived in it proved that this place was definitely not simple.

She swept her gaze over the luxurious main courtyard where King Kang lived and checked everything carefully.

Finally, she found a secret compartment behind a painting in his study. There were two boxes, one big and one small.

Inside the small box was a stack of silver notes worth 1,000 taels of silver. Inside the big box was a stack of letters.

Seeing that King Kang was asleep, Zhou Ying immediately put them into her interspace.

After returning to the residence, the couple left some instructions and returned to their room.

After entering her interspace, Zhou Ying took out the two boxes. After confirming the special mark on the banknotes, she put them aside.

Then, she and Gu Chengrui read the letters in the big box in order.

It was mainly information collected from various sources, each on just a piece of paper.

“There are King Kang’s men in Dongyang’s military camp. No wonder he’s so familiar with King Rui’s whereabouts.

“However, King Rui and the others should have noticed it by now.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he handed her a piece of paper.

Zhou Ying glanced at it. Sure enough, it was the news of King Rui returning to the capital with serious injuries.

The two of them flipped through a few more letters and were surprised that there was information related to them. Moreover, it was so comprehensive that it covered everything besides Zhou Ying’s interspace.

The last piece of information they got was also the most useful. It was related to the investigation of the Marquis of Ding’an’s assets.

Moreover, the information showed that after the Gu family was raided, King Hui and the others did not hand everything over to the national treasury. Instead, they hid what they took in a house north of the city.

After Zhou Ying finished reading, she looked at Gu Chengrui and asked, “Since those things can’t be exposed, should we take them all back?”

“Sure. Even if they know that they lost it, they probably won’t dare to reveal that since it could trace back to King Kang.”

“Let’s do it.” Zhou Ying decided and quickly returned the two boxes to their original places.

Following the address on the letter, she found the house north of the city. It was a relatively dilapidated house.

A family of eight lived inside, with three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

It seems like the Marquis of Ding’an’s methods of hiding things were really shockingly similar to those of his concubine.

She searched the entire residence and found the stuff in the side courtyard.

However, what she did not expect was that the entire courtyard below was hollowed out.

Four entrances led in four directions, each leading to the four basements.

It seemed that they were really cautious. If she didn’t have her divine senses, she could only discover two of the four basements at most.

After that, she quickly took everything from the four secret chambers.

As for the family of eight in the main courtyard, she honestly did not feel guilty about robbing them.

The fact that they could live here meant that they were the Marquis of Ding’an’s trusted aides. They must have been involved in many sinful deeds, as they would not have been able to gain the Marquis of Ding’an’s trust otherwise.

When she put everything into her interspace, she was shocked to see that there were more than 200 boxes of things.

Half of them were antique paintings; the other half was filled with jewelry; and about 50 boxes were filled with gold bars. She was too lazy to count them all. In short, she struck gold.

“It seems that the Marquis of Ding’an has been embezzling quite a bit over the years.” Gu Chengrui commented while holding a silver-inlaid jade hairpin that was obviously not of the Ming Dynasty style.

“Is this something from the west?”

“Yes, our country likes to use gold-inlaid jade, but the west continent prefers silver-inlaid jade. Moreover, the jewelry they make there is more complicated.”

“What a rare jade this is.”

“I just wonder which of these once belonged to the Gu family..”
