The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 242

[Chapter 242 Sneaking into the Governor’s Mansion]

As it happened, he had already developed a strong interest in the governor’s mansion, so he went tonight to discuss the situation. It

was a dark and windy night. Lin Tian, wearing a black nightgown and masked, climbed over the wall of the side door and successfully entered the governor’s mansion.

He observed the huge mansion vigilantly and walked forward a few steps. He

looked around, but did not find any patrol team.

He couldn’t help but wonder, is there no patrol in such a large mansion?

Or is this the empty city plan played by the governor’s mansion? Is it specifically to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking into the mansion, and then arrest the person when the opportunity is right?

Come to think of it, this possibility is not impossible.

Moreover, Lin Tian has also dealt with the governors here. They are very cunning and have embezzled a lot of funds allocated by the court.

Lin Tian is not going to dwell on this matter and walks on a quiet path.

His time is very precious now, and he can’t afford to think too much about some unfounded things.

He hurriedly crossed the path, and suddenly a row of guards wearing armor and holding swords appeared in front of him.

He stopped suddenly and wanted to find a place to hide.

But the surroundings were empty, where could he hide?

Lin Tian’s sharp eyes swept around, and there was a rockery ten miles ahead of the path.

The most urgent thing was to find a place to hide first and then act according to the situation.

He jumped and ran quickly in the direction of the rockery.

But his movement was too big, and he had already alarmed the patrolling guards over there.

“Sir, there is movement in front, someone must have broken into the mansion at night.”

The guard who was called sir frowned, “Go and see who is coming!”

“Yes, I obey your order!”

After speaking, rows of guards with swords ran towards the direction of the path.

Lin Tian never thought that he would alarm them so quickly.

He thought that the mansion of the governor was playing the empty city plan, but now it seems that these patrolling guards are patrolling in all directions.

Fortunately, he was about to reach the rockery. After fooling the patrolling guards, he could go to the governor’s room.

Lin Tian glanced at the people chasing behind him, quickly entered the rockery, and hid behind a stone.

The guards who were chasing also rushed to the rockery. The head guard observed for a week and said in a deep voice.

“The man must be hiding nearby. You must search for him and find him for me.”

“Sir, why don’t you let the brothers split into two groups so that we can find the man as soon as possible.”

After hearing this, the lord thought it was a good idea and gave them orders.

“Okay, you ten people go to the northwest to find the man, and the rest of you stay here to continue searching. Today we must find the man alive or dead.”

After receiving the order, they were divided into two teams.

The guards who set out to search in the northwest had already left, and the remaining group was searching near the rockery and the garden.

Lin Tian observed them in the dark, thinking that after dealing with these guards, he could enter the governor’s room.

He had also heard what the guards had said just now. They would never give up until they found him.

But it was a waste of time to stay behind the rockery.

It would be better to think of a way to lead them away, or to directly annihilate the remaining people in one fell swoop.

However, the latter would easily cause a big commotion, and it would be difficult to leave at that time.

After several struggles, Lin Tian came up with a good idea.

He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it forward with all his strength.

The guards patrolling around had already heard the movement and shouted to their brothers: “Brothers, there is movement in front. It must be that the thief ran in that direction. Let’s chase him.”

Then, the guards left the rockery.

Lin Tian repeatedly observed the surroundings several times, and only came out after he was sure that there were no guards.

He patted the dust off his body and walked towards the governor’s house.

The yard was pitch black. Lin Tian took out the prepared incense and blew it gently towards the window a few times.

After confirming that the person in the room was unconscious, he pushed the door open and entered.

Unexpectedly, the huge room was empty, and there was no sign of the governor.

He was wondering why the governor was not there, or was he away on a long journey?

Never mind, it was better if he was not there, so that he could leave faster.

Soon, Lin Tian searched with a purpose, and found that there were several more exquisite decorations on the table, and there were also white jadeite with excellent color hidden in the drawer.

This is a good treasure that cannot be bought on the market.

It seems that this governor not only swallowed a lot of money from the court, but also took a lot of exquisite treasures. He

should have accepted bribes from many corrupt officials.

It’s really disgusting!

But what surprised Lin Tian was that there was really very little silver in the room.

Generally speaking, if the governor embezzled, he should have too much money to put.

But this room, except for some valuable treasures, had nothing else.

Wouldn’t he have come here in vain?

He thought about the governor’s actions, and took the most valuable treasures in the room and put them in his arms.

He closed the door of the governor’s room and left the mansion neatly.

After returning, Lei Dian saw that his master had a few more treasures in his hands, and then he realized that he had sneaked into the governor’s mansion. He couldn’t help but sweat for him and said solemnly.

“Master, don’t go to such dangerous things again. Just let us start the action directly.”

Lin Tian smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: “I am very skilled. I just went to the governor’s mansion and now I am back safely. Lei Dian, you don’t need to worry too much.”

“Alas, master, I am also afraid that something will happen to you. Otherwise, how can I explain to the master?”

Lei Dian sighed, hoping that the next time Lin Tian takes action, he can be called.

Don’t act so secretly again.

Lin Tian waved his hand, hoping that Lei Dian would not take this matter to heart.

Then he moved the painting to these treasures.

He asked Lei Dian, “What do you think we should do with these exquisite treasures?”

“Master, these treasures look very valuable. Why don’t we sell them directly at the pawnshop in Linjiang City?”

“That’s a good idea.”

Lin Tian agreed, and went to the largest pawnshop in Ningjiang City the next day, planning to sell all these treasures.

However, when the pawnshop owner saw these exquisite treasures, he broke out in a cold sweat and said to Lin Tian in embarrassment: “Sir, the treasures you are offering are too expensive. We can only buy two or three with the funds in our pawnshop.”
