Chapter 173 Treasures Hidden in the Cellar
The middle-aged man was a little surprised, but he still lowered his head and ignored it.
"You are your village chief's staff member, and you are a gentleman who was invited back, but even so, what does it matter?
Bandits are bandits, they didn't care about you brothers in times of crisis."
Wen Shu stood up and stood in front of the middle-aged man, carefully observing his hands. There were no thick calluses on his hands from doing rough work, and the knuckles of his index and middle fingers were bulging.
Understanding in her heart, Wen Shu retracted her gaze and said, "Sir, I don't know why you were taken in by this village. You are well-versed in the books of sages.
You must know better than me what the people of Gangfeng Village are like. If you are forced, or forced to stay here out of helplessness."
"If you want to leave, sir, after this matter is over, you can rest assured that my men will never embarrass you."
"Lady, what do you want from me..."
Wenshu was about to give up and thought of asking her to check and see if the man had done anything seriously evil, and then let him go down the mountain.
After all, killing has never been their purpose, and she just took this opportunity to eliminate potential threats.
"I want to know where your village chief is...?"
"Please forgive my incompetence. I know when our village chief left." Seeing that the woman in front of him did not look angry, he continued, "Although I don't know why the girl attacked Gangfeng Village at night.
Although everyone in this village thinks it's full of evil people, I have lived here for many years. This is the place that raised me and gave me shelter.
I’m sorry I can’t tell you.”
Wen Shu did not force it, but was even more curious about the middle-aged man. From what she had heard, the bandit leader was very vicious, although the middle-aged man did not say it.
It can be seen that he lives quite comfortably here and has never done any heavy work.
Its status here is self-evident...
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. Sir, you have done justice to Gangfeng Village, but don't you have any compassion for those who have harmed innocent people in Gangfeng Village?
Sir, please go and have a rest—"
"Let's go, let's go to the back and take a look." Wen Shu said, and then she took Jue Yu with her and started walking around.
It is still dark now, and they have to restore peace to the village before daybreak.
As for those who died, we need to deal with them as soon as possible. In such hot weather, if we don’t deal with them in time, mosquitoes and flies will be everywhere before noon.”
After Wen Shu finished speaking, she ignored the middle-aged man, although she hoped to get something out of him.
But since the other party wanted to be loyal to his old master, she couldn't force him.
Wenshu and Jueyu found a brother from Sheshan Village to lead the way. This man had lived here for a long time like Xie Youcai.
With an acquaintance leading the way, Wenshu felt much more relaxed.
As for Xie Youcai, he could no longer hold back and went to search the mountains for his enemies.
"The people in Gangfeng Village are quite wealthy..." Wen Shu stood in a cellar that could accommodate more than 30 people, looking at the sacks piled up from the ground that were more than two people high.
Leaning against the wall...
The gold, silver and jade artifacts scattered around in other places made Wen Shu gasp.
"Girl, are you saying this is true?
Could it be that my eyes are blurring, or I'm hallucinating?" The man who brought Wen Shu into the cellar was obviously also shocked by this scene.
As he spoke, he unconsciously walked up to touch it.
"No wonder Gangfeng Village has such a rich history. It turns out they are really rich. I wonder how many families they have robbed along the way!" Wen Shu looked at the five-zhu coins packed in burlap bags against the wall, especially those piled outside.
The outermost part may not be sealed because it is often used.
From the top of the bag, you can see that the coins inside have worn out the string that strings them together, and most of the coins are not strung together and are just thrown into the bag at random.
"Girl, what happened to all this money..." Jueyu walked up and took out five-zhu coins from several bags, and found that there was something wrong with these coins.
Wenshu picked up the coin and looked at it repeatedly in her hand. When she heard Jueyu's words, she saw that she was a little hesitant.
Asked, "Are you saying that some of these coins are different from those of Dajin?"
Jueyu nodded.
"Oh, that's right. For so many years, the various princes of Dajin have been ruling their own territories. After the King of Donghai went to Luoyang a few years ago, those local forces have been ready to make a move.
It was just after they left, and some people couldn't hold back anymore.
I just didn’t expect that someone here had already made preparations!”
"Girl, what should we do?" Jueyu knew the major events that had happened in Luoyang in the past few months.
She thought the girl's actions were fast enough in such a short time, but she didn't expect someone to be faster than her.
"What should we do? Of course we should put them all away. We should not miss this free bargain!" Wen Shu did not hesitate, and the people behind her started to act.
Although Jueyu didn't know what the Taoist girl was doing with the money, which she thought was too mixed and had poor liquidity.
But since the girl did this, she must have her reasons.
"Let's go, lead the way and let's go somewhere else," Wen Shu shouted to the young man who was leading the way.
"Hey, it's a girl." The young man led the way, explaining the terrain of the village and recalling the years they had lived here with Xie Youcai.
"Girl, this cellar was originally only half the size of this. I remember that Boss Xie used to store food here for the winter, but every time he was unlucky, rats and squirrels would steal a lot of it.
So let’s go out and walk along the path outside, there are still a lot of them…”
"Okay, you lead the way..."
So, when Wenshu came out of the cellar, it was already dawn outside.
"Girl, do you think this group of people went to rob a bank on earth? Otherwise, how could they have so much money!" Wen Shu looked at the mountains outside and heard the greeting behind her.
Thinking back to the scenes I saw inside, I was so shocked that I couldn’t calm down for a long time.
The cellar they had first seen was relatively small.
The young man led them inside and found that there were more than ten cellars. The cellars were much larger than the first cellar they found, which could be heard from the young man's words.
These cellars have more than doubled in size from their original bases.
In addition to the first cellar which contained money and jade, the other cellars also contained a lot of food and weapons.
There was a special cellar just for storing weapons, and the amount of food stored was more than half of the cellar's total.
In the young man's words, this is just one layer of their cellar, and there are quite a few cat holes on the mountain.
If those cat holes are also used to store these supplies, it can be said that the head of Gangfeng Village is not only thinking about the small amount of wealth in Dujia Village.
He was only concerned about the troops within the Du family!
This person's heart is not limited to Dujia Village.
Thinking of the news I received a few days ago...
Wen Shu hurried out and told Jue Yu, "Look at how the village is being organized.
Once the head is cleaned, have everyone wait in the square in half an hour."
"Yes." Jueyu received the order, turned around and disappeared in front of him.
Wen Shu ordered the few followers behind her, "You guys just guard the entrance to the cellar and don't let anyone in."
"Yes"
Wen Shu turned to look at the young man who had been leading the way to the Snake Village and said, "I have something for you to do. I wonder if you are interested."
