Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Emptying the Yongzhou Government Office
Considering her Combat Power wasn't high enough and that Innate Divine Strength was too easily exposed, she immediately took out all the safety equipment from her space.
Electric Shock Baton, Chili Powder, Climbing Rope, a Hunting Rifle, a Crossbow, Night Vision Goggles, mouse traps…
So disappointing, with just this stuff could she even return once she had gone?
But soon, she remembered her specialty — the Poison Pill.
Not to mention, she had dozens of types of poisons here.
Some induced sleep, some drove people mad, and others made people follow orders…
Right, didn't she lack helpers? Then she would find some who would obey orders.
Simply put, she would pick a few people inside the Yongzhou Government Office, give them Obedience Medicine, and have them lead the way to move her stuff.
That way, she would distract the government soldiers. When the time came, whether they opened the city gate or not, if they didn't open it, she might as well capture them too.
This plan was simply brilliant, Qi Yue gave herself a huge thumbs up.
Soon, the time arrived at 2 a.m., Qi Yue changed into Night Travel Clothes, put on Night Vision Goggles, and also wore a mask before heading out.
In the evening, she had used the excuse that it was too noisy living on the third floor and had already moved to the first floor, so it was very convenient for her to leave.
The midnight Yongzhou City seemed to be veiled in black silk, both dark and stifling.
Running alone in such a night, Qi Yue was not afraid but instead so excited that her palms sweated.
She even believed in her heart that she was born an adventurer.
She soon arrived at the Yongzhou Government Office, this large official residence under the night sky appeared like a huge beast, calmly squatting as if waiting for someone to walk right into a trap.
Before coming here, Qi Yue had already thought through her action plan, so she appeared calm and unruffled.
Seeing that the path was empty, she confidently ascended the steps of the Government Office and started knocking on the door.
“Bang bang bang…”
In the dead of night, the sound of knocking quickly spread and there was soon a stir inside.
“In the middle of the night, who is it!”
A voice yawning came from behind the door, and Qi Yue knocked two more times.
The person came to the side of the door and asked through it, “Who is it, we don't open the door at night without urgent military matters.”
Qi Yue lowered her voice, making it sound like an elderly man.
“I come from the Capital City, and I need to see the lord of the Prefecture.”
The person inside clearly got a jolt, his voice becoming more alert.
“Could it be a person from Grand Tutor Lin?”
Qi Yue hummed an affirmation, then heard the sound of the person opening the door.
What followed was a bizarre version of events.
As the person inside came out, Qi Yue instantly entered a space and instantly entered through the Government Office's main door.
The person who opened the door saw no one, and after searching inside out and top to bottom, finally went back to sleep cursively cursing at whoever had played him.
At this point, Qi Yue had already brazenly walked into the Government Office's main hall, which was just a hall, with nothing much in it.
Moving farther into the hall, it split into east and west courtyards, one side was the office rooms labeled with different plaques stating Salt Office, Workshop, Household Office, and other such inscriptions, the other side housed the night patrolling Government Officials. Qi Yue sprayed a bit of Sleep-inducing Spray into the wind there, and they each slept even more soundly.
Moving farther back, through a corridor, was another courtyard, which appeared to be a resting area for officials, with rather plain furnishings.
Qi Yue woke up a dozing soldier in the hall, and before he could shout, Qi Yue stuffed an Obedience Pill into his mouth.
“I ask you, how many courtyards are there in total at Yongzhou Government Office, and where are the storerooms and the lord's living quarters?”
“Yongzhou Government Office has a total of sixteen courtyards, 180 rooms, with the front office and rear residence. The storerooms are located at the fourth, eighth, twelfth, and fifteenth courtyards. The lord is staying tonight in the thirteenth courtyard…”
Qi Yue was astounded; she truly had not expected that such a small Prefecture's Government Office could cover an area comparable to the Marquis Residence?
No wonder they could send so much gold to the Grand Tutor? All this was forged from the sweat and toil of the common people!
She sighed, and simply had the obedient soldier lead the way to the storeroom.
Along the way, she dealt with four more soldiers, one of whom was a minor leader. After taking the Obedience Medicine, he talked a lot—answering ten sentences for every question asked, which indeed gave Qi Yue a better understanding of this Prefecture Lord.
Soon Qi Yue learned this Prefecture Lord not only had eighteen concubines, but in the sixteenth courtyard, he also detained many women he had captured.
“Good, tonight is really not in vain,” Qi Yue clenched her teeth as she looked at the fourth storeroom.
With those obedient soldiers, Qi Yue effortlessly brought all thirty soldiers guarding the storeroom's door under her control.
This storeroom contained precisely the items supplied to Grand Tutor Lin.
According to the soldiers, the Prefecture Lord kept all the best items of Yongzhou here.
Jade bowls held green Jade Beads, used by Grand Tutor Lin to amuse himself after meals.
A pillow carved from white jade, with a secret compartment underneath, was used by Grand Tutor Lin for sleeping.
There was also an exquisitely designed incense burner, also made entirely of jade.
One soldier said, Grand Tutor Lin feared someone might poison him through the incense burner, claiming jade burners could detect any poison in the incense…
Additionally, there were thirty-five boxes of gold, one hundred and twenty boxes of silver, a coral ornament, and a longevity stone sculpture from Taihu Lake.
With a wave of her hand, Qi Yue gathered all into her spatial storage and then headed to the storeroom in the eighth courtyard.
The left storeroom held all sorts of food items.
Pots, bowls, ladles, seasonings, liquor, grain cereals, dried fruits, mountain goods… all piled up into a mountain.
The right storeroom contained various household items.
Silks and satin, spring-autumn shoes and socks, wooden couch rocking chairs, children's toys and so on—it was truly a feast for the eyes.
Qi Yue didn't look closely; she just kept collecting relentlessly.
Then she came to the storeroom in the twelfth courtyard, filled with many newly crafted bright weapons and swords.
Qi Yue originally didn't want these items, but thinking that the Prefecture Lord had placed the items in the twelfth courtyard showed he valued them highly, so she gathered those as well with a sweep of her hand.
When she reached the thirteenth courtyard, Qi Yue began her sweeping spree.
This area was the living quarters, filled everywhere with fine items.
Jade Screens, chairs crafted from gold, pure white jade vases…
Qi Yue collected something every step she took, advancing like a whirlwind.
When she reached the thirteenth courtyard, she went straight to the Prefecture Lord's bedroom.
In the deep of the night, the area was tranquil but lit up—by the glow of several Luminous Pearls.
On the massive bed lay three women and one man, and from the shabby covers, it was evident they were all naked.
Everything under the Night Vision Goggles was clear as daylight, but Qi Yue was unmoved.
After two lifetimes, such sights were nothing to her.
First, she collected the Luminous Pearls, then taking advantage of the darkness, she sprayed the three women with Sleep-inducing Spray and fed the Prefecture Lord an Obedience Pill.
Next, led by the Prefecture Lord himself, and with dozens of soldiers clearing the way, they continued towards the back courtyard, collecting valuable items as they encountered them.
After all, being a Prefecture Lord, in the storeroom of the fifteenth courtyard, Qi Yue collected another 500,000 taels of silver and several large boxes of jewelry, reportedly the trousseau planned by the Prefecture Lord for his daughter.
Eventually, she stood at the entrance of the sixteenth courtyard.
“Open it.”
At her command, the Prefecture Lord personally opened the door.
