She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 127 Chen Baosheng's Belongings
If that's the case, then there must be a lot of good stuff here.

It's 10:30 pm now, and she can't leave yet.

There are patrol teams outside; it would be troublesome if you got caught.

In addition, Huang Chunjing was still asleep, so carrying her on her back wasn't easy.

Since that's the case, let's stay here for a while, at least until dawn.

So she didn't stay idle.

This west room is full of good stuff, both on the kang (heated brick bed) and on the floor, so naturally we can't let it go.

The vases and ornaments have a vintage feel, but they are not antiques.

It's perfectly fine to use it for decoration.

Even the grandfather clock wasn't spared; it was all stored in the space.

There was also a mahogany table and a tea set on the floor, made of fine porcelain, which she put away.

Later, you can take them all to the recycling center.

After finishing those things, we turned our attention to the kang cabinet.

The decoration here is the same as that of an ordinary family, with a cabinet placed on the kang (a heated brick bed).

However, there were actually two sets inside this house.

Furthermore, the kang (heated brick bed) was really big.

She didn't hold back and immediately began her sweeping spree.

Forget about the bedding; even she wouldn't want it.

There were actually quite a few books placed underneath.

Surprisingly, this person has this hobby.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be nothing but low-nutritional-value items.

However, it still needs to be taken away.

Further down, there are three large drawers.

The left side contains daily necessities, kerosene, two packs of candles, five boxes of matches, and some other miscellaneous items.

The one on the right is filled with cigarettes, all kinds, both thick and thin.

Surprisingly, there were also three boxes of cigars.

These are things from abroad. Even if the Chen family has a lot of power in Shousong County, they wouldn't have these kinds of things.

Incredible.

There was no time to think, so I just packed up the things first.

The middle drawer is locked.

She didn't hold back and used the axe from before to violently break it open.

There were two notebooks inside, with some things written on them. Surprisingly, the last one was a detailed list of the grain sold this time.

"My goodness, the Chen family is really something!"

Ji Shuyin couldn't help but exclaim, the sheer number of them was truly astonishing.

Putting everything else aside, tens of thousands of kilograms of grain are not something that can be obtained casually.

Even if a family has four strong laborers who work every day, they can only exchange their earnings for refined grains.

Over the course of a year, it only weighs about a hundred kilograms.

Their single move involved 36,000 jin (13,000 kg), the source of which is definitely a question.

Chen Baosheng was a low-level henchman who only achieved his current status thanks to his brother-in-law, Captain Wei.

He is very likely an accomplice in the illegal sale of stolen goods.

It's normal for him to handle these things since it's inconvenient for the other person to come forward.

As for whether Captain Wei has anyone above him, that's another matter.

Furthermore, embezzling so much grain is no small amount.

Looking further back, there are records for every year.

Captain Wei and the Chen family brought this upon themselves!

Chen Baosheng was really clueless, putting such an important thing here.

However, this also shows that this house is like a base for him.

And she will get something better.

With such a large amount of grain as a medium, it makes sense that she saw someone surnamed Chen on the black market last time.

He put the ledger away and continued reading. Surprisingly, he had quite a collection.

There were three boxes under the cabinet.

The first thing was all bottles and jars. She had been exposed to them since she was a child and could tell some of the tricks of the trade.

Chen Baosheng definitely kept it as an antique; to put it another way, it's a mix of genuine and fake.

The second box contained some strange ornaments, but they were all made of jade, so they must have been highly valued.

Several of them were even packed in separate small boxes.

The last box contained what she wanted to see: in addition to some supplies, there was also a considerable amount of money and tickets.

All things considered, it probably amounts to seven or eight thousand yuan, all of which are large sums of money, a truly astonishing amount.

The receipts were incredibly diverse, including not only everyday items like food, drinks, and other necessities, but also rare items such as bicycle tickets, TV tickets, and sewing tickets.

It seems I've stumbled upon the perfect solution this time.

Inside the other set of cabinets, there was nothing special, except for a lot of fabric found at the bottom.

It's brightly colored and doesn't look like the ordinary goods sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Wait a minute, Ji Shuyin touched a piece of satin fabric and fell into deep thought.

This seems to be unique to Suzhou, and because it is so rare, it is seldom seen on the market.

I ran into Chen Baosheng and his sister in the city last time. Could it be that they were there to get these things?

If that's the case, then they certainly have more than one way to make money than just through food.

Bringing things back from such a distant city shows how big the business is.

I have only developed less than one-tenth of the Chen siblings' abilities.

Surprised as I may be, I'll still take it.

Next, we went to the main room, which was nothing special.

Tables, chairs, benches, and the like are no longer necessary.

I went to the east room next door. Surprisingly, there was no furniture in this room, only a kang (a heated brick bed).

It just doesn't look right.

Her gaze remained fixed on a painting directly opposite her.

It was a simple New Year's picture, symbolizing abundance year after year.

People like this usually worship Guan Yu, but unfortunately, the times don't allow it now.

The dim yellow light from the light bulb reflected on the painting, creating an indescribable strangeness.

The colors in the painting have faded considerably.

Someone like Chen Baosheng probably wouldn't be so meticulous as to replace something like this.

Moreover, this room is clearly not inhabited.

He reached out and touched it.

"It's empty."

Ji Shuyin didn't use much effort and discovered it easily.

After moving the painting aside, there was a hidden compartment behind it, but it was very crudely made.

There was a small wooden box inside.

After opening it, there was a stack of 1,000 yuan bills.

In addition, there are some antique silver jewelry pieces.

At the very top is a translucent jade plaque.

She didn't know what it was for, but she felt it was a backup plan left by Chen Baosheng, in case something unexpected happened.

The subsequent sweeps need to be done more carefully, as there might be some hidden money somewhere!
After putting it away, she went to several other rooms.

Further east, there are two rooms together without a partition in between.

This is what makes this house different from ordinary houses.

There were no electric lights here, so she took a flashlight.

As soon as the door opened, there was a feeling of darkness.

When Ji Shuyin finally saw what was inside, she was stunned for a moment.

A premonition began to spread in my heart.

She took the dagger and plunged it into the nearest sack. When the contents spilled out, she gasped in shock.
