Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 408 Murder and Silence

She took out a tinder from her bosom, unscrewed the lid, and blew gently. The flame immediately ignited, adding some light to the dark room and allowing Wei Xiaohu to see the person in front of him clearly.

However, when Wei Xiaohu saw her deep eyes, he instantly lost his mind and became as dazed as a puppet.

Si He then blew out the tinder in her hand, and the room returned to darkness. She asked, "How much silver do you have? Is it all stored in the treasury?"

He replied truthfully, "The total assets of the Wei family amount to over 500,000 taels of silver, and the treasury holds over 100,000 taels, along with various precious items and jewelry."

"The remaining money was stored in secret rooms, as well as in secret rooms outside the house and in the farmhouse."

Hearing this, Si He was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the Wei family was so rich now!

She thought about it, then asked him about the details of the secret room and the houses outside. The result was very satisfactory.

After asking about money and other things, she asked about some things about her, what plans and speculations he had.

Sure enough, he checked her background thoroughly and found out that she was a daughter of the Guo family. He then sent people to pay attention to the Guo family's movements, mainly to her movements.

Today, she secretly escaped from Jinxiu Tower and was noticed by those stalkers. However, they were afraid of her and did not follow her rashly. For the time being, they did not know her whereabouts.

As for why they were wary, when the group of spies in Qingmu City got into trouble before, they didn't think it was an accident. Based on her skills, they all guessed that it was her who did it, so this time they were more cautious and didn't reveal any clues.

Hearing what he said, the murderous intent in her eyes grew deeper. She had to admit that this group of stalkers were really cautious. It was because they did not follow her rashly that she did not notice their presence.

This Wei Xiaohu is really restless!

"Where are the people who are following us? What are their characteristics?"

She asked in detail, and he answered in detail, answering each question truthfully.

After she had learned everything she wanted to know, she suddenly ordered Wei Xiaohu, "Go to the dressing table and bring me that gold hairpin."

Wei Xiaohu immediately did as she said, got off the bed barefoot, went to the dressing table not far away, and took out a golden hairpin. It was his concubine's hairpin, a golden and thick hairpin. Although it looked a bit vulgar, it was very valuable and conspicuous, so she saw it at a glance.

But, Si He asked him to take the hairpin, not because she wanted it.

When Wei Xiaohu came over with the hairpin, she said, "Use this hairpin to kill the woman in your bed."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman on the bed stood up in shock. It was obvious that the woman was pretending to be unconscious!

When she was questioning Wei Xiaohu just now, she noticed that the woman's breathing had changed, and it didn't seem like she had been hit by an injection, so she asked Wei Xiaohu to do this.

"do not want!"

The woman begged for mercy, but it was pitch black all around her. She could only see two blurry shadows at best when she opened her eyes wide, and could not even see clearly.

But Wei Xiaohu had already grasped the hairpin and stabbed the woman.

“Ah! Help!”

The woman screamed twice before being stabbed to death by Wei Xiaohu. Her face and neck were stabbed and blood was flowing, but Wei Xiaohu continued to stab her.

Si He stood in front of the bed, watching coldly. It turned out that the woman was wearing soft armor, so the needle she had shot before did not hit her.

She didn't want to kill innocent people, but this woman was courting death.

After a while, she finally said to Wei Xiaohu, "You should end your life too."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaohu stopped his actions, stabbed the hairpin into his heart, and fell on the bed.

At this moment, Wei Xiaohu regained consciousness, but he also died.

Si He stood up and walked a few steps towards the bed. Then he reached out to take the silver needle from the corpse, wiped it clean, and put it back in his pocket.

The noise here did not alarm the people waiting outside the yard. After all, there was some distance, and the doors and windows here were closed tightly. The woman's scream just now was not that loud.

But it’s best if it doesn’t alarm anyone.

She put the chair back to its original place, cleaned up the footprints, and took two pieces of cloth to wrap her feet to prevent leaving more footprints. Then she took a bunch of keys and turned to walk towards the study next door.

Wei Xiaohu's study is next to the inner room, and the secret room is also in the study.

Entering the study, she successfully found the secret room according to what Wei Xiaohu had said before.

The secret room is not big, but it contains a lot of things, including some valuable calligraphy and paintings, several large boxes of gold, several boxes of silver, and many banknotes and house deeds.

She first picked up the title deed and took a look at it. Any title deed that could be stored here was either a valuable shop or a house he bought privately.

When I asked Wei Xiaohu just now, he said that he also kept some money in a house in the city. This is a habit he has developed over the years and he will not keep all his money in one place.

As for the small house in the city, he was the only one who knew about it. He only asked the servants in the shop to clean it occasionally, and did not let anyone in the Wei family know about it.

Si He thought about it, then took a piece of cloth from the secret room, collected the banknotes and the house deeds, and wrapped them up.

As for other things, she wanted to take them, but she couldn't, so she had to give up.

After taking the things, she walked out of the secret room and closed the door.

Before leaving, she walked back to the door and took back the needles from the two maids. She carefully examined their condition and made sure that they were really unconscious before she quietly left.

She returned the same way, jumped over the high wall silently, retrieved the big bag hidden in the tree, and flew towards the house that Wei Xiaohu had bought in the city.

Fortunately, it was almost midnight and there were not many police officers patrolling the streets. She kept leaping in the dark alleys and avoided the patrolling police officers.

She walked a long way before she found the house.

The house was indeed empty, but this location was very close to the government office, and the security in this area was considered the best, with patrolling officers walking around quite frequently.

I climbed over the wall and entered the yard. It was built very simply, like an ordinary house, and the yard was empty.

She took out the key and tried several times before she unlocked the door and pushed it open.

The room was still very simple. At first glance, there was nothing valuable. Even the tables and chairs were of ordinary style and material, and were well disguised.

The secret room was behind the cabinet in the bedroom. She moved the cabinet away and saw a small locked iron door.

She opened the door with her key and walked in. She saw several large boxes neatly placed there. She knew without even looking that they were filled with a lot of gold and silver.

Si He put the heavy bag on the box and quickly put the things she had taken from the Wei family's study there.

After all, it's better to leave it here than to take it back.

This place will temporarily become her treasure hiding place.

After putting her things away, she locked the iron door again and put the cabinets in order before leaving the house, locking it again and cleaning up any traces.

It had been a busy night, but the work was not yet done.
