And so, exquisite furniture, antiques and paintings began to flood into Cai Wei’s space one after another.

After cleaning up one room, Cai Wei still felt unsatisfied. She sent out Brother Parrot to find County Magistrate Li’s treasures.

In the meantime, using her memories, she located Madam Li’s courtyard.

As for the nighttime cleaning of her maid servants, Cai Wei had become proficient and didn’t even need to lift a finger. Chang Mei quickly and adeptly took care of it for her, allowing her to move freely in Madam Li’s courtyard as if uninhabited.

The good stuff in Madam Li’s room was significantly more than in Li Jingui’s room. Not to mention the array of dazzling jewelry and silk, they were enough to make anyone’s eyes spin, and Cai Wei was cheerfully collecting them. Suddenly, she felt she didn’t need to work anymore, because this method of making money was way too fast! Overnight, it was enough to make her rich!

After cleaning up Madam Li’s room, Cai Wei searched through each courtyard one by one. Apart from the servants’ rooms, she didn’t miss any of the masters’ rooms.

However, when she arrived at a room of one of County Magistrate Li’s concubines, Cai Wei was stunned.

County Magistrate Li was spending the night there. This concubine, probably to please her husband, shamelessly serviced him alongside a young maid. The three of them were busy on the bed, taking turns in their intimate affairs. Despite County Magistrate Li’s age, he seemed to be as active as a tiger, going back and forth between the bodies of the young maid and the concubine, panting heavily but enjoying every moment...

Cai Wei curled her lips, seeing that the two of them wouldn’t be finished for a while. She didn’t have the time to wait, and also didn’t want to continue watching this erotic scene. She quietly exited to loot elsewhere.

At this point, Brother Parrot had found the location of the Li family vault - under County Magistrate Li’s study.

Cai Wei was delighted and quickly, guided by Brother Parrot, arrived at County Magistrate Li’s study.

County Magistrate Li’s study was quite modestly decorated, without any excessively luxurious items. Only books densely lined the shelves and several paintings hung on the wall. Resting against the wall was a semi-antique bronze shelf with a few elegant antique vases on it.

Cai Wei found the mentioned twining lotus-pattern moon flask, and with a gentle twist, she saw that the floor of the study suddenly descended. A large pitch-black hole was revealed.

Cai Wei held up a candle and shone it down the hole. She found a staircase at the hole’s entrance. She walked down it and arrived in a fairly spacious basement.

The basement was gloomy and not particularly decorated. Along the wall were several large boxes lined up, each with a huge copper lock.

These locks were no match for Cai Wei. She took out her precious dagger, easily broke a lock and casually opened the box. Instantly, a box full of bright yellow gold stung her eyes!

Oh my God!

With a flowery smile on her face, Cai Wei opened another box. Oh my, it was full of jadeite and jade utensils. There were exquisite mutton fat white jade carvings and translucent green jadeite bracelets, hairpins, and so on, each separately stored in brocade boxes. Each item was costly...

There was also an antique bronze shelf in the basement. The items on the shelf were far superior to those displayed in the study. Most of them were precious and rare antique ceramics, huge corals, a small number of ivory, rhino horn carvings, and so on...

"Hehe, indeed, a clean magistrate for three years is worth ten thousand taels of snowflake silver!"

With eyes barely open from laughter, Cai Wei passionately called out to each treasure: "Collect--collect--collect--"

County Magistrate Li was indeed an unabashedly corrupt official. The wealth in the vault was far more than ten thousand taels. When converted into those antiques and paintings, there would be ample surplus even at two hundred thousand taels. All of this wealth had been extorted from the people, which made Cai Wei genuinely feel that the loot this time was justified―robbing this corrupt official―which would make it much easier for her to do business or help someone conquer the world in the future!

It was already late tonight, and she still needed to figure out a way to resettle Sanchun and her daughter tomorrow, so she was probably not going to leave today.

Since she couldn’t leave, she had plenty of time. Cai Wei searched each courtyard one by one. By the third watch, she had finished searching the entire mansion.

Of course, except for the courtyard where County Magistrate Li was staying.

Unwilling to let go of this wealth, Cai Wei finally entered the courtyard. And as expected, the people inside the room were already asleep.

Cai Wei quietly entered the room. Using only the moonlight, she looked around the room and collected a few items to her liking. Before leaving, she saw County Magistrate Li’s plump body half-naked on the couch, both sides hugging, still looking unsatisfied in his sleep. Looking at this gave Cai Wei a chill.

Cai Wei threw a handful of aphrodisiac powder over them, dusting all three bodies. Covering her mouth to suppress her laughter, she left satisfied....
