On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1851 This Silver Can’t Be Stealed

Yan Ruyu ignored Mr. Bai's compliments and tapped the table with her fingers.

"continue."

Mr. Bai nodded and continued to roll the dice.

He didn't dare to be negligent this time and tried his best.

But no matter what means or methods are used.

Yan Ruyu guessed all ten of them correctly.

Moreover, the stakes kept rising, and by the last ten rounds, Yan Ruyu had already won three thousand taels.

Now, Mr. Bai couldn't sit still anymore.

"Young Master is very capable, I wonder..."

"Of course," Yan Ruyu said, "I know my abilities very well. It's normal that you don't know. If I let you know, how can I win?"

Mr. Bai: “…”

"Let's stop here today," Huo Changhe said, "There's no point in playing anymore. It's boring to win every time."

Mr. Bai's face turned pale. This statement really deserved a beating.

Huo Changhe raised his eyelids and looked at Mr. Bai: "You're not going to be able to leave, are you?"

Mr. Bai forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? We are a legitimate gambling house. You can come and go freely regardless of winning or losing."

"In that case, count our silver and ask for cash."

In a short while, more than three thousand taels became his silver.

Mr. Bai smiled and said, "More than three thousand taels is not a small amount. It is not convenient for you two to take it. How about I send someone to take it back with you?"

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other, and Huo Changhe nodded: "Okay."

The moment she turned around, a smile flashed across Yan Ruyu's eyes.

Otherwise, why would you need cash? I just deliberately led you to say this so that I could send someone to deliver the silver.

Money is a small matter, what matters is the people who want you.

Going downstairs to the lobby, the gamblers saw them coming out, stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

Yan Ruyu bowed and said, "Everyone, I'm lucky today, please share in my good fortune. I'll give you a hundred taels later."

The crowd cheered.

Someone curiously asked: "How much did you win?"

"Not much, three thousand taels."

Everyone exclaimed again, looking at them with envy.

Mr. Bai also followed him downstairs and assigned someone to deliver the silver.

Yan Ruyu pointed casually and said, "Well, you were the one who was shouting loudly just now, you come and send it off."

That man, Zhang Qi, was the one who went to find Zhou Shan and scared Zhou Shan.

Zhang Qi was embarrassed, but didn't dare to say anything.

The huge piles of silver were counted and packed into boxes. The gamblers looked at them and drooled.

This is three thousand taels of silver. Many people will never see this amount of money in their lifetime. It’s unimaginable.

Mr. Bai held a fan in one hand, covering half of his face and hiding the smile on his lips.

The purpose is to let these gamblers watch and arouse their greed. Maybe a few of them who are brave enough will go and steal or rob - anyway, it will cause some trouble for these two people.

Moreover, someone must be sent to get the silver back at night, or at the latest tomorrow.

Taking away three thousand taels from here with nothing has never happened before, how could it be possible?

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were in front, and four people were behind, carrying two boxes and following them out of the gambling house.

After turning left and right, we finally stopped in front of a house.

It doesn't look like the main entrance.

Zhang Qi remembered the route. He had lived in Youcheng for many years and was familiar with all the streets and alleys.

I haven't been here very often, but there is always a sense of familiarity.

He thought about going around to the front to see where the main entrance was.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door opened. The person who opened the door was about to greet him, but Huo Changhe waved his hand.

The silver was carried in and the door was closed behind him.

Zhang Qi looked around and saw that the house was quite large, the yard was deep and quiet, and there were few people around.

where is this?

"Come this way," Yan Ruyu said to them.

When you send someone home, even though they have arrived, you cannot just drop the box off and leave. You have to deliver it to the place where it will be taken.

Originally, Zhang Qi was worried that they would not be allowed into the mansion, and he didn't know where the silver was stored. But when he heard this, he felt relieved.

Continuing to walk inside, Zhang Qi found that this place was a bit strange.

Other houses have backyards connected to the front yard, but why is it that here there is another yard through the backyard?

He was wondering when he suddenly noticed that the person in front of him was different.

The people before were all servants and maids, no different from ordinary families, but when they got here...

What was the person who appeared wearing? Black clothes, red sleeves, red collar, and red belt.

Isn’t this... a constable?

Zhang Qi's heart was pounding and he quickly glanced at Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu in front of him.

I wonder, could it be that these two have some background or connections with the government?

If that's the case, I have to go back and tell my master. I'm afraid I can't just take the silver back.

Go further and pass through a moon gate.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

Zhang Qi's heart also sank.

There is no longer just one constable here, but a group of them, and a large group of yamen runners as well.

This is!

An idea flashed through his mind, but he didn't dare to think further.

But this matter has nothing to do with whether he wants to or not, and it will not change because of whether he wants to or not.

Just as he was panicking, he heard Huo Changhe ask, "Is Governor Cao here?"

"Yes, in the study."

Huo Changhe turned around and said, "Let's go."

Zhang Qi's calves cramped - now he was sure that this was the governor's office.

No wonder he felt oddly familiar when he was at the back door.

That feeling is both familiar and strange.

I vaguely knew it existed, but I had never been there, so I wasn't very familiar with it.

A man like him would be too busy hiding from the yamen runners, so why would he come here on his own initiative?

This time he came, and he came thoroughly. He went all the way from the back door to the front yard, and even went to the study of Governor Cao.

Zhang Qi smiled bitterly to himself, thinking that he could brag to others when he returned.

But he never expected that he would never be able to go back.

Governor Cao is in his study. The murderer has not been found yet, and the matter in West City has to move forward. Food and vegetables have to be allocated every day, which is also a huge expense. Although his subordinates are very useful now and no problems that cannot be solved will come to him, he still has to ask about the progress and have an idea of ​​the situation.

Especially with money and grain, no mistakes can be made.

The money for building West City was paid by the princess, so he had to ensure that the accounts were clear and every penny was spent wisely.

While I was busy, I heard that Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were coming.

He hurried to greet them, and as soon as he saw how they were dressed, he knew they were going somewhere incognito again.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe had already told him about this situation. If the two came in disguise, they should look at the jade token on their waists.

Others didn't know, but Huo Changhe told him that the jade token was an ancestral heirloom of the Huo family.

The governor Cao stepped forward and was about to speak, but Huo Changhe gave him a look and he swallowed his words back.

Looking again, the people behind carried in two boxes.

After the box landed, Yan Ruyu ordered them to open it, and inside was a pile of silver.

"Master Cao, this is the food allowance for this period of time."

Governor Cao's eyes lit up, but he felt embarrassed.

"It's okay, take it," Yan Ruyu smiled and glanced at Zhang Qi and others.

Zhang Qi's head was buzzing, and he had only one thought in his mind - there was no way he could get this money back no matter what.
