“Those people handing out porridge will continue tomorrow. Just now, the auntie also said that after giving out the porridge, no one would be in charge of the porridge stall. You should have noticed that the porridge stall is quite big.”
It was only when she saw Xue Yan nod to indicate that she had discovered it that Jiang Yue continued in a low voice, “Since it will continue tomorrow, then the porridge stall will not be demolished for now. No one will care if anything about it changes. The things piled inside are all porridge utensils, such as the table boards and chopping boards. The things there are useless, and no one will think of stealing them. Therefore, no one will take anything. When it’s dark, we will put the evidence there. I reckon no one will find out if we go at night.”
Xue Yan nodded. “That’s a good idea. It saves us the trouble of finding another place to store the things in the secret chamber and then luring Shi Che to get them. Once we’ve put everything in the porridge stall, I’ll go lure Shi Che over.”
He would have to wear dark clothes and climb over the walls and roofs. She was pregnant, so it was not appropriate for her to do such a thing. He would not let her do it either. Therefore, Jiang Yue did not object to his suggestion to lure Shi Che away. She only said, “He has a group of soldiers following him at all times. You should be careful.”
“Yes.”
“When the time comes, bring a letter from Qiu Pusheng to Fan Jianxi with you, in case Shi Che suspects that there is a trap. Once Shi Che reads the letter, he will be able to prove that you were the one who took all the things in the secret room. He would naturally go to the place you wrote on the note to take those things.”
“Of course.”
The husband and wife agreed. When it was dark, the two of them went out. They passed through a small alley and quietly came to the porridge stall in front of the government office. Jiang Yue looked around and checked if there was anyone there. Once there was no one, she got to work. The things in the secret room had all come out of the space and appeared in the porridge stall. It was near the corner. Although there was moonlight shining down, it was dark inside because of the shed. When the things were put in, they drowned in the darkness. Even if there was someone nearby they would not be able to notice it easily.
The entrance of the government office was different from before. Now, soldiers were guarding it, but they didn’t notice that something was wrong here. Whether it was Jiang Yue or Xue Yan, they were hidden in this darkness.
When Xue Yan was at the inn, he had already taken a letter from Qiu Pusheng to Fan Jianxi from the small wooden box. After putting everything into the porridge stall, Xue Yan accompanied Jiang Yue back to the inn.
When the shopkeeper saw them coming back, he thought that they had returned from the night market and even greeted them.
After they returned to the room on the second floor, Xue Yan wrote a note. There was only one sentence on the note — I took the evidence from the secret room. They are now in the porridge stall in front of the county government. There are quite a lot of things. Whoever holds this letter must retrieve them.
The handwriting was written in a way that would not be able to trace back to him.
Xue Yan stuck the note into his pocket, keeping it safe.
Jiang Yue took out a bow and arrow from her space.
Xue Yan had learned martial arts from Shao Zhongxi. With Jiang Yue’s guidance from time to time, he learned to wield more than just a sword. He had learned all eighteen martial arts, and among the eighteen martial arts, the bow was the first he picked up, so he knew how to shoot arrows.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was only until midnight did Xue Yan put on his night clothes, covered his face, took his bow and arrow, brought the note and letter, and secretly left the inn.
However, he didn’t go to the posthouse. Instead, he went to the government office.
