Chapter 182

Having made up their minds, the two brought the donkey cart to a remote corner. He Zhiran waved her little hand and brought Mo Jiuye and the donkey cart into her space.

They had no other purpose for entering the space in broad daylight than to disguise themselves before going to do bad things.

He Zhiran took out some makeup tools and disguised Mo Jiuye as an ugly man with upturned eyes, a flat nose, and everted lips.

That wasn\'t all. She even put on a goat beard for Mo Jiuye.

Then she bought a set of gray casual clothes on Taobao and changed out of his black clothes.

When she looked at Mo Jiuye again, none of his original appearance remained.

He Zhiran couldn\'t help but laugh out loud, "Mo Jiuye, do you know? There are two types of people in the world who attract the most attention."

Not realizing she was making fun of him, Mo Jiuye asked earnestly, "What two types?"

"Hahaha, one is the especially good-looking kind, the other is your current look."

As He Zhiran spoke, she had already pushed him in front of the bathroom mirror.

When Mo Jiuye caught the first glimpse of himself in the mirror, he instinctively took a step back.

Pointing at his own nose, he asked in some disbelief, "This ugly monster is me?"

He Zhiran laughed heartily, "That\'s right, this is you. What do you think, aren\'t my makeup skills amazing? Looking like this now, I bet even your mother wouldn\'t recognize you."

Indeed, not to mention his mother failing to recognize him, even he himself didn\'t know who he was...

In any case, it was worth looking ugly to make his beloved wife laugh merrily.

After He Zhiran had her fill of laughter, she also disguised herself.

Her costume was much simpler. She just put on the men\'s clothing she wore in Pingyang County and casually smeared some stuff on her face to finish up.

After getting into costume, the two immediately left the space.

When they arrived outside the Cui Residence, after observing for a bit, Mo Jiuye directly swept up He Zhiran in his arms and used his lightness skill to leap over the wall.

What met their eyes were seven or eight women dressed in silk, being driven towards the main gate by some steward-looking men.

The women were crying loudly, and some even tried to run back but were crudely grabbed by the hair and pulled back by the stewards.

Among these women, He Zhiran immediately spotted the pair of twin sisters from the He family.

The two of them did not cry out or make a fuss. They just kept pleading with the stewards.

"Dear Sir, please have mercy on us sisters and don\'t sell us into places like that."

Seeing that these sisters didn\'t cry and shout like the others, the steward\'s heart softened a little out of pity.

"This is ordered by Master Deputy Magistrate Cui. Pleading with us is useless. You\'d best obediently come with us. That way you can avoid some physical suffering."

The He sisters continued pleading, "Dear Sir, could you please take us to see Master Deputy Magistrate Cui so that we may plead our case with him directly?"

"You\'d best abandon that idea. If Master Deputy Magistrate Cui had any sympathy for you, he wouldn\'t sell you off to the brothel."

"Dear Sir, please..."

Their pleas grew fainter and soon disappeared at the entrance to the Cui Residence.

He Zhiran scoffed, "This Deputy Magistrate Cui is quite realistic. Knowing that he can no longer perform, he decides to exchange these women for silver."

He Zhiran had merely meant to vent some frustration with those words, but they took on a different meaning in Mo Jiuye\'s ears.

Out of habit, he stroked her hair and said, "Don\'t worry, your husband\'s body is perfectly healthy and I will also protect myself well."

He Zhiran...

Your train of thought has gone way too off track here.

Without lingering on those thoughts, this was the perfect time to infiltrate the back residence where there were currently few people.

Mo Jiuye took her by the hand and jogged towards the front court.

He had specifically asked Liang Hao last night and knew the storehouse was right next to the main courtyard.

Therefore, with little effort, the two were able to locate the position of the storehouse.

The storehouse was only separated from the courtyard where Deputy Magistrate Cui lived by a single wall. They could see several medicine chest-carrying physicians standing there.

Those physicians\' expressions were as ugly as if they had just lost their fathers.

No wonder, as the steward kept pressuring them.

"You are all famous physicians in Yun City, yet you cannot cure the magistrate\'s injuries?

The magistrate has ordered that if his injuries show no sign of improvement for a day, you will not be allowed to leave for a day."

The physicians looked at each other, and a white-bearded elderly man stepped forward with a bitter expression.

"Steward, Deputy Magistrate Cui is asking too much of us here. Those eunuchs in the palace try every possible way to regain their manhood after gaining status and wealth, yet no one from ancient times till now has succeeded.

How could we small-town physicians possibly have such great abilities?"

The other physicians echoed his words.

"That\'s right, we are truly powerless against Deputy Magistrate Cui\'s illness."

"Steward, please help plead our case before the magistrate and let us go."

"I still have a family relying on my medical practice to make ends meet. Please help us say some good words!"

"..."

Faced with the physicians\' desperate pleas, the steward ignored them and yelled towards the outside of the yard, "Come over here, keep an eye on these physicians. If anyone runs away, you will pay."

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran watched from the shadows as three of the stewards guarding the storehouse immediately left, leaving only one.

With only one guard left, it was much more convenient for them to act.

Mo Jiuye swiftly flashed behind that steward and chopped him unconscious before dragging him to a corner.

He Zhiran seized the chance to rush over, and the two nimbly climbed in through the window.

The storeroom had clearly been tidied up with no signs of theft.

Indeed, as Liang Hao and the others had said, all that remained were some bulky items that were difficult to transport.

After scanning the surroundings, He Zhiran also broadened her horizons.

In addition to the lack of silver and banknotes, the storeroom contained gold, silver, pearls and jewels, jade articles, antique calligraphy and paintings, silks and satins filling the shelves around.

He Zhiran waved her little hand and all the items in the storeroom vanished without a trace.

The space had expanded and she no longer needed to consider storage issues. She took everything including the shelves into it.

After carefully checking that no items were left behind, the two exited.

But as soon as they had just jumped out of the window, they ran into an elegantly dressed woman in her thirties, accompanied by two maids.

Seeing the two strange men, the maids immediately screamed, "Madam, thieves!"

Madam Cui also saw them and shouted loudly for someone to catch the thieves.

Seeing this, He Zhiran quickly took out a bottle of anesthetics from her space and sprinkled it towards them.

Madam Cui and her maids soon collapsed.

Hearing approaching hurried footsteps, Mo Jiuye swept up He Zhiran and leaped onto the roof.

Without waiting for the stewards to get close, the two had already leapt out of the residence.
