What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Chapter 122: Where is the tacit understanding?

The two of them were in the air, like two rocs, leaping from one roof to another, and in a moment they were from the study to a big tree near the warehouse.

There are quite a lot of guards here, more than twenty in total.

Even with a tranquilizer gun, it's impossible to make more than 20 people faint at the same time.

Moreover, the guards were much more alert than the servants. If anyone noticed something was wrong and shouted, more people would come.

"Damn it, Gu Ming is just a county magistrate, and the defense is so tight that it's almost as tight as that of the imperial palace." Gu Xi cursed in a low voice.

Well, his girl is cute even if she swears.

Chu Zhao consoled him, "That's not the case. We can't fly around the palace so easily. There are also secret guards on the roof of the palace."

Gu Xi: “…”

Not comforted.

The two observed for a while and felt that they had no idea where to start. Since they could not attack by force, they could only use their wits to defeat the enemy.

The old way!

Gu Xi searched through the space and finally found two sets of men's silk clothing, the colors of which were roughly the same as those of Butler Gu and Gu Ming.

She pulled Chu Zhao and slipped into the space.

After Gu Xi applied some makeup, Chu Zhao soon became Gu Ming, while Gu Xi became the short and fat butler.

She didn't want to act like a fat person, but who made her shorter than others? She was so angry!

After coming out of the space, the two of them walked towards the warehouse in a swagger.

When the guards saw "Gu Ming", they immediately saluted, "Sir!"

"Gu Ming" ignored him and walked straight to the warehouse door.

"Butler Gu" hurried to open the lock of the warehouse, of course using the master key.

"Gu Ming" instructed the guard at the door:

"Guard the door and don't let anyone in!"

"Yes!" the guards at the door responded in unison.

After the two of them went in, "Butler Gu" closed the door.

The guard at the door seemed to be thinking about something and muttered quietly:

"Isn't the master entertaining guests today? Why are you suddenly in the warehouse?"

Another guard also lowered his voice and said:

"Why do you care so much? Maybe you are choosing a gift for the distinguished guest."

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Gu Xi's eyes lit up.

What does it mean that gold, silver and treasures are rolling in?

Gu Ming had only been the county magistrate for a few years, but the people under his rule were so hungry that they had to flee famine, which showed that he had plundered the people's wealth on a regular basis. The wealth in this warehouse was much greater than that of Zhen Wude.

Gu Xi added: "Three years as a clean magistrate, 100,000 silver coins."

After reciting it, she still felt something was wrong, but it didn't matter. She just liked to see Chu Zhao's eyes full of admiration and twinkling little stars.

Well, there is a sense of pride in being the big sister.

"Good poem!" Chu Zhao praised Gu Xi, "If Axi hadn't been a general, he would definitely have become a great writer."

"Can't I be the best in the world in both civil and military affairs?"

Gu Xi, you are drifting.

Gu Xi now has unlimited space, so he doesn’t have to worry about not having enough space, he just needs to collect it.

Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, cloth, animal skins, farm deeds, they collected them all along the way without leaving a single hair behind.

In a short while, the warehouse was left with only four empty walls.

The two were still looking for a secret room or something when they heard footsteps outside.

It was just such a coincidence that the guard with the crow's mouth had come true. The real Gu Ming and the real butler came to select treasures for the guests, and they arrived at the same time as Gu Xi and the others.

Gu Ming was planning to select a few antiques and ask Shi San to bring them to the Minister of Personnel Shi Huairen. He had just learned from Shi San that Shi Huairen liked to collect antiques.

If I can win the favor of the Minister of Personnel, wouldn't I be able to rise to a high position?

The guards at the door were all dumbfounded. Didn't their masters and the housekeeper just enter the storeroom? Why did they come in from outside again?

Shocked! The guards all had hallucinations.

The butler looked at the stupid guard and scolded him, "What are you standing there for? Don't you know how to greet an adult?"

The guards saluted mechanically, then their eyes widened, wanting to see if this lord and butler were fake.

When they arrived at the warehouse door and looked at the copper lock hanging on the door handle, the housekeeper was dumbfounded.

"Who unlocked the warehouse?"

The guards looked at each other, and finally pointed at Butler Gu himself with trembling hands.

Gu Ming looked at the open lock on the door, then at the guards, and finally fixed his gaze on the butler.

Butler Gu panicked, "Sir, I don't have it."

With a hint of doubt, Gu Ming pushed open the door of the warehouse and strode in. Butler Gu followed closely behind him and closed the door.

Then the two of them stood in the middle of the warehouse, looking at the four walls of the warehouse in astonishment.

It’s so clean!

"Butler Gu, please explain to me what's going on." Gu Ming was furious. He grabbed Butler Gu by the collar, his voice trembling in coldness.

Most of his wealth is in this warehouse.

Although there is a warehouse in the backyard, it is used for daily household expenses. The really valuable things are all here.

Besides him, only Butler Gu had ever had access to the key to the warehouse.

Gu Butler waved his hands repeatedly: "My lord, my lord, it's not me! There are so many things, I don't have the ability to move them away, it's these guards, they must be stealing!"

Gu Xi, who was hiding in the space, made a knocking gesture to Chu Zhao.

Then he appeared in the warehouse with Chu Zhao. Gu Xi chopped at the back of Gu Ming's head with a knife, but Chu Zhao took out a tranquilizer gun, pulled the trigger, and a silver needle as thin as a hair instantly shot towards Gu Ming.

Gu Ming and Butler Gu only saw a flash before their eyes, as if two figures appeared, but before they could see clearly, everything went dark before their eyes, and they fell to the ground with two "thumps".

Gu Xi went over and took the two into the space, then took Chu Zhao into the space again, and said angrily:

"Where's the tacit understanding? I mean knocking you out!"

Chu Zhao felt that the tranquilizer gun was very effective and was very excited. He didn't understand why Gu Xi was angry.

But based on his years of experience observing his father, if his daughter-in-law is angry, it must be because he has done something wrong, and he must admit his mistake quickly.

"I was wrong!"

Although he didn't know where he was wrong.

Gu Xi kicked Gu Ming on the ground and said:

"I was hoping to use the evidence of his crime to threaten him to open the warehouses and release grain to help the victims. Now you've shot him with a needle and he's sleeping like a dead pig. You won't wake him up until tomorrow noon even if you hit him."

Chu Zhao finally understood where he went wrong, but it was not his fault. Who wouldn't want to try out such a new weapon?

"Don't worry, Axi. Even if he faints, I'm still here." Chu Zhao pointed at himself.

Gu Xi thought about it and realized that it was true. Chu Zhao now looked like Gu Ming. As long as she didn't let Gu Ming go, Chu Zhao could pretend to be Gu Ming and do whatever he wanted.

Well, it's time to test your acting skills.

The guard at the door just heard the master and the housekeeper arguing inside, but before he could figure out what was going on, the quarrel stopped abruptly.

Then two "thumps" were heard.

The leading guard remembered that two groups of masters and the butler had gone in, and he felt uneasy, fearing that something might go wrong. After hesitating for a while, he knocked on the door and asked:

"Sir, butler, what happened?"
