The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 53: Clearing out the Yang Mansion Shop

There was a gloomy atmosphere in the Yang Mansion, but what they didn't know was that this matter was far from over.

Wang Jingru went home happily after a day of classes. As soon as she entered the house, she was told by the maid that the master and his wife were waiting for her in the study.

Wang Jingru thought something big had happened! She hurried to the study room, but before she knocked on the door, Yu Wenjiao had already opened it.

Quickly pulling Wang Jingru into the room, Yuwen Jiao called out to Xiao Cui'er, "Xiao Cui'er, stay away from the door and guard it. Don't let anyone get close." Xiao Cui'er quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Madam," and then she stood 10 meters away from the door.

Yu Wenjiao pulled Wang Jingru into the room and looked outside to see that there was indeed no one outside and the maid was not eavesdropping.

Wang Laosan and Yuwen Jiao then whispered to each other, "Daughter, was it you who did what happened in the Yang Mansion?"

After Yu Wenjiao finished speaking, Wang Laosan continued, "My girl, tell me if you are brave enough. This is under the feet of the emperor, and you actually stole things under the emperor's nose."

Yu Wenjiao lowered her voice and said, "My daughter, do you think that their family provoked you when you attended the banquet at Concubine Liu's house last time?"

Wang Jingru nodded. Her parents not only attended the flower-viewing party with Concubine Liu, but also studied in the academy.

The second princess and her two cousins, the two young ladies from the Yang Mansion, teamed up with the second princess and bullied me every day in a weird way.

Wang Laosan slammed the table in anger, which frightened Yu Wenjiao. The Chinese teacher stood up angrily, twisted Wang Laosan's ear and said, "If you are angry, then you are angry. Why are you slamming the table?"

I was startled, and my daughter was also scared. Wang Laosan quickly begged for mercy, "Madam, please spare me, madam, please spare me. I was just too angry just now, so I slammed the table."

Wang Laosan changed the subject and said, "This Yang family is really a piece of shit. There is not a single good person there. My daughter, you did the right thing. Dad shouldn't have said that to you. He should have taken everything from the family. Teach him a lesson and see if he dares to be so arrogant. Isn't it just some money?"

This time he has lost his money, let’s see if he can still be arrogant and dare to bully my daughter. But my daughter is powerful and has the protection of gods.

Daughter, please discuss anything with your parents in the future. No matter what you do, your parents will support you. But don’t act rashly alone again.

Dad, I have asked people to find out and checked all the shops of the Yang Mansion in the imperial city. I plan to take over all the shops of the Yang Mansion today. I will also take over the warehouses of all the shops of the Yang Mansion.

Otherwise, they will never learn their lesson and will become arrogant again in a few days.

Yu Wenjiao is very supportive of her daughter, but she is also worried about her daughter. Should I borrow two martial arts masters from your grandmother? Mother, are you stupid? Can this be known to outsiders?

Yu Wenjiao then remembered that he couldn't let anyone know about this, not even his own mother, for fear of causing trouble.

He gave up the idea of ​​asking for help, but still held his daughter's hand and said worriedly, "No matter what, you must be extra careful. If you encounter danger, hurry into your space."

Collect as much as you can. Don't force yourself, and don't let others find out.

Wang Jingru said, "Don't worry, mother! I have the protection of the gods, so your daughter will never be in danger. You and daddy should stay at home and don't go out, or you will be caught by someone."

If I go out at night and am targeted by someone with ulterior motives, I won't be able to explain myself. Even if I don't come back by daybreak, don't worry, I may be hiding in the space and not coming out.

Then you should hurry up and rest early. You will be energetic at night if you get enough sleep. So Wang Jingru was asked to go back to her yard. Wang Jingru pouted and said, "Mom, I am not a god. I don't eat food. I haven't eaten yet!"

How can you sleep on an empty stomach? Yu Wenjiao patted her forehead and said, "Look at your memory. I was so focused on letting you have a good rest that I forgot that you haven't had dinner yet. Mom, have you had dinner?"

Wang Laosan laughed and said, when your mother heard about what happened in the Yang Mansion, she thought it was you who did it, so she had no mind to eat.

Yu Wenjiao glanced at Wang Laosan and said, "You've already eaten. Come on, let's go eat together."

The three of them finished their dinner quietly, and Yu Wenjiao urged Wang Jingru to go back to her room and rest quickly.

Wang Jingru returned to the room and lay on the bed. How could he sleep? It was not even dark yet!

So he entered the space and went to look at his treasures. Thinking that he would receive a considerable amount of supplies tonight, his little face was flushed with excitement.

In order to be energetic at night, I drank a bowl of spiritual spring water, then returned to my room, closed my eyes and rested, and actually fell asleep while lying there.

When Wang Jingru woke up, it was already midnight. She put on her nightgown, covered her face with a black cloth, and left the mansion through the back door.

Soon they arrived at Yang's shop, which was a cloth shop. Wang Jingru was familiar with the place and blew some smoke into the door. After the person watching the shop was poisoned by Min'an, Wang Jingru used a knife to pry open the bolt.

He pushed the door open and walked in, leaving no cloth or garments, not even the ends of cloth. He went to the warehouse in the backyard and did the same thing, leaving no thread behind.

After closing the cloth shop, they hurried to the next one. The Yang family opened fifteen shops in the imperial city.

The first store was the last one they came to, and the next store they came to was the rice store, where they did the same thing. After knocking the people inside unconscious, they went in and started collecting the grain.

There was plenty of all kinds of food, and it took a long time to collect them all. The most important thing was that there were large-denomination silver bills in the cash box on the counter. Wang Jingru took them out and had a look. There were probably about 100,000 taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest. She collected it all. Wang Jingru was so happy that she went to the warehouse at the back to collect the goods after collecting them in the store.

After cleaning up the grain warehouse, Wang Jingru went to the most prosperous street, where there were several shops, including jewelry shops. There must be golden men in these shops.

But there must be a lot of people guarding the shop, so Wang Jingru was even more cautious, and would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go. She took out the drug, lit it, and put it in the jewelry shop.

This time he didn't rush in. After a while, Wang Jingru looked inside and found that everyone inside had fallen down.

Wang Jingru opened the door with ease. She was right to be cautious. Just as she was about to close the door, she felt wind coming from behind. Wang Jingru reacted very quickly. She dodged quickly, then turned around and took the person behind her into the space.

In fact, he was not sure if there was anyone behind him, but he did not dare to take the risk, let alone expose himself. So he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

His guess was correct. Everyone else in the room fainted except this one. This man was highly skilled in martial arts and was specially arranged to stay in the jewelry shop to look after gold, silver and jade.

If Wang Jingru had hesitated just now, she might have been in danger because Wang Jingru was no match for this man.

Wang Jingru calmed down and found that there was no danger, so she started to work. He wanted to take away everything in the jewelry store and leave nothing for the Yang family.

The jewelry was placed on the counter, and Wang Jingru was afraid of trouble, so she took the counter away as well. After the collection, the room was empty, without even a table, chair or bench.

After finishing the things on the first floor, she hurried to the second floor. The things on the second floor were of better quality and more novel in style than those on the first floor. Wang Jingru quickly put everything into the space.

Wang Jingru quickly cleaned the house and went to the third floor. The jewelry on the third floor was even more expensive. They were all custom-made jewelry for the ladies of high-class families.

Wang Jingru was very excited when she saw the exquisite jewelry. Although she couldn't show them to others, she could store them in the space.

After all the things were collected on these floors, Wang Jingru thought it was impossible to just put all these things on the surface, so she went to the backyard. There was a row of houses in the backyard. Wang Jingru came to the house in the backyard and found that it was full of things.

But there was no gold, silver, jade or precious stones, but only cotton and cloth. Wang Jingru felt strange that there was no gold, silver, jade or precious stones piled up in the jewelry store, but so much cotton and cloth.

What exactly is going on? But now is not the time to study these things. No matter what it is, she will take it away. Wang Jingru cleaned up all the more than ten rooms.

But she still felt something was wrong, so she went back to the building in front. This time she searched the first floor to see if there was a secret room underground. After searching for a long time, she found the entrance to the secret room under the bed in the room where the shopkeeper lived.

Wang Jingru walked in. There was a sound inside. Wang Jingru walked in quietly and was shocked by what she saw. There were many silversmiths inside, and they were all busy making jewelry.

Everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but it couldn't have been because of the heat, because there was a stove in front of them. What was even more incredible was that everyone had heavy chains tied to their legs.

When Wang Jingru walked in, these people did not look up. Everyone was busy with the work in their hands. They had long lost their freedom and soul, just like puppets.

Wang Jingru ignored these people and quickly put all the amazing jade artifacts in the secret room into the space. Suddenly, the secret room was empty.

Wang Jingru came to these people, used a hairpin to open all the locks on the chains, and moved these people and the stoves into the space.

When these people changed their environment, they looked up and surveyed the space, then saw that the chains on their feet had been untied.

Wang Jingru didn't have much time to arrange these people, so she would deal with them when she returned later.

Wang Jingru left the jewelry store and hurried to the next place. Wang Jingru walked from one house to another, pastry shop, restaurant, wine shop, and the manor outside the city. Wang Jingru went to the manor, but she rode the red horse in the space.

Although the city gate was closed, Wang Jingru jumped over the wall and went out of the city. After Wang Jingru collected all these things, it was already dawn, and she quickly returned to the mansion.

She was exhausted that night, so she went home, had dinner, and fell asleep. He did not go to the academy to study that day, and asked the maid and teacher around him to ask for leave.

She said that she had caught a cold last night and had not woken up yet. Wang Jingru didn't want to go at first, so she planned to stay at home for a few more days.

Wang Jingru slept soundly, but the Yang Mansion was in a mess. Everything in the mansion was lost.

But their shop earns a lot of money every year, and they can make up for the loss soon.

But this morning, when I got up, all the shop owners came to the mansion.

Kneeling on the ground, he said that everything disappeared overnight, leaving only an empty house.

All the shopkeepers came, even the shopkeeper of the manor outside the city. The shopkeeper said that all the food in the manor disappeared overnight. The treasures in the secret room of the manor were also gone.

After hearing this, Yang Jiang vomited blood and fainted. When Yang Jiang fainted, the Yang Mansion immediately became chaotic.

When Zhang Ailing heard that all her things were lost, she felt that this time it was really over and there was no way she could make a comeback.

Not only do you have to pay high compensation if your items are lost, but each store has specially customized items for those noble ladies.

Now that the things are lost, they must pay a high price for compensation to appease the officials, ladies and girls.

How can these people get money? The most effective way is to sell their shops and farms. How can they survive if they sell their shops and farms?

The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Even when Yang Jiang fainted, Zhang Ailing didn't have the time to care about him.

He could only ask the servants to help Yang Jiang to the bed, as he had no money to hire a doctor. He could only endure it, as he had no money to buy medicine even if he hired a doctor.

Zhang Ailing sat there, tears falling one by one. Zhang Ailing was worried that her daughter would not be able to survive in the palace without money.

The family has huge daily expenses, the shops are empty and there is no way to make any money. The thing he regrets most is that he asked the owner of the rice shop to prepare 100,000 taels of silver yesterday.

It was too late yesterday so I didn't go to get it. I thought it wouldn't be too late to get it this morning. But who would have thought that the thief had stolen everything in the shop last night.

This thief is so despicable. I don’t know how their family offended this person. Not only did he empty their house, he also spared the shop.

This person must be a big shot, otherwise how could he have such ability? His family owns more than a dozen shops, and it would take a lot of power for them all to be emptied overnight.

Zhang Ailing was not only worried about not having enough money to spend, but she was also more afraid of that important person. Zhang Ailing wondered if her daughter in the palace had offended some important person.

The more I think about it, the more possible it seems, because all the people their family comes into contact with when doing business are business people.

It is impossible for there to be such a powerful person. Only his daughter is in the palace. If she offended some concubine, maybe those concubines have backers in their families.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right, so he hurried to the study to write a letter and had someone deliver it to the palace.

The food that the mansion brought back from the shop yesterday was not much, just enough to last for a week.

If I had known that tens of thousands of kilograms would have been shipped back yesterday, what would I do now? The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt and the more dizzy I felt.

He fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his head hit the corner of the table. Blood flowed down his face. His two daughters who came in saw him, and they were so scared that they screamed and cried in pairs.

Someone was quickly asked to bring medicine and gauze to bandage Zhang Ailing's wound. Zhang Ailing lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, without any blood.
