The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1500: Chapter 1500: Nothing Left But Money (6)

”Your father really was quite clever,” Yang Ruxin couldn’t help snorting coldly.

”I heard from my father that this was designed by a very famous trap master in the jianghu,” Ji Bin said with some pride.

”Too bad the cleverness wasn’t used in the right place; now it’s cleverness that has led to his own downfall,” Yang Ruxin frowned.

Ji Bin dared not speak any longer.

”Alright, I’ll go down and take a look.” Yang Ruxin didn’t bother lecturing him anymore. With Xiaolun around, she wasn’t worried about him playing tricks at all, ”Keep an eye out and don’t let anyone approach.”

Ji Bin nodded: ”Rest assured, my lady, once someone shows up, I’ll send you a message. There’s a rope here with bells, just pull and you’ll hear...”

It was then that Yang Ruxin noticed that there indeed was a very thin line near the entrance of the hole, almost imperceptible unless one looked closely. She nodded and then walked down into the tunnel’s entrance.

The tunnel was quite spacious; she didn’t need to bend over given her height. From the outside, it appeared dark, but once inside, one would notice many beads on the walls giving off a soft light. It wasn’t bright as daylight, but it was enough to easily see where one was stepping and what was around.

The tunnel wasn’t very long; the end was reached quickly, about four or five meters down, where there was a stone chamber.

The stone chamber wasn’t large, roughly twenty-odd square meters, but it contained a table, chairs, and a bed. On the side, there were wooden boxes everywhere, thirty-five in total. Twenty of these boxes were full of gold bars, another ten contained jade jewelry far superior in quality to the jadeite cabbage they had seen before, and the remaining five boxes were filled with precious medicinal herbs. Some, like ginseng and polygonum, were recognizable to Yang Ruxin; there were even Tianshan snow lotuses, and some she did not recognize.

”Ah, now sis is really down to her last penny,” Yang Ruxin touched her chin, and stored all the boxes into her space, ”Spending money can also be troublesome.”

Of course, she was just being melodramatic. If she said this out loud, she’d surely be beaten up.

There were the Four Treasures of the Study on the table, as well as some books. However, inside one of the drawers below, there was a box that held more than a dozen letters. After quickly flipping through them, they were all correspondences between Ji Lin and Yuan Country’s Wo Kuohai, as well as a few people from the imperial court over the years. The date on the most recent letter was from the month before the Yuan army began their campaign.

Yang Ruxin’s expression darkened. This was a serious matter; not only was Ji Lin a spy, there were even people in the imperial court colluding with the Yuan people. This was quite terrifying, but she decided to go out and leave it to Gu Qingheng to handle.

After completely looting the stone chamber, as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a crack in the wall behind the table. Without hesitation, she pushed against it, and with a rumbling sound, the wall was pushed open, revealing another hidden passageway.

Following the passage and pushing open the stone slab at the end, she found herself in a dead-end alley behind the Ji Residence. Because it was so remote, not even beggars would come here, and the place was overgrown with weeds. If one left from here and changed clothes, they would not be discovered by anyone at all.

Indeed, a sly rabbit has three burrows. If they hadn’t lured Ji Lin to Yong City back then, they would likely have never captured him.

Yang Ruxin restored the exit to its original state, then made the long journey back to the stone chamber. Just then, she heard the sound of the bell, and without delay, she quickly made her way out.
