Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 118

In the forest not far from the city, the bandits’ stronghold is deep in the forest halfway up the mountain. The log buildings are integrated in the forest and it is not easy to be found. The beasts in the forest basically avoid this location, only occasionally a few small sparrows will pass by , and no one will pay attention.

The three masters took their brothers down the mountain, but when they were pulled back to the cottage by the bullock cart, none of them was still panting, and they went out vertically and came back horizontally.

The bandit stockade was boiling. I didn't expect those officials in Fengzhou City to cheat them. What does it mean to cooperate now!
"The boss! I said that those officials have no good things. Now hundreds of brothers have been lost, and even the third brother is gone! This revenge will not be repaid!"

"Revenge for the third family!"

"Revenge for the Third Master!!"

The head of the family looked at the pile of corpses of his brothers lying outside the yard, with a gloomy face, but he was not angry.

He is the only one in the village who knows what the purpose of cooperating with Hu Leqiang is, and he is about to start planning, but now Hu Leqiang and the others have lost the chain.

"There is something strange about this matter. The officials in Fengzhou City must have gone wrong. Someone else did it. Let's sneak into the city at night to find out."

"Big brother!"

The head of the family raised his hand to suppress his emotions, "If you still call me big brother, just listen to me. We have a cooperation with those corrupt officials. They won't do anything to us at this time. Someone must have interfered in it. It hasn't happened for a few days. There should be something wrong with the news about those corrupt officials."

"Bury the third brother and the others first. The revenge of the third brother and the brothers must be avenged. Go to the city tonight to find out the whereabouts of those corrupt officials."

Erdangjia held his breath in his heart, and replied in a muffled voice, "Got it."

All he knew was that it was an important cooperation. He had always been brave and foolhardy. He didn't ask much if he didn't talk about it, just like the first time the big boss took his brothers to rob the city, robbing banks, robbing shops, robbing women, and There is money sent by corrupt officials...

I firmly believe that the master will not cheat them!
The Erdang family led people to bury the Sandang family and the brothers together. Turning around with a heavy heart, they saw a row of little sparrows by the eaves. They were angry and displeased. Before they started to shoot the birds, the little sparrows coaxed And scattered.

In the city, Ming Lanying casually scattered a handful of chaff in the yard, attracting a wave of small sparrows.

Ming Lanying whistled to tease the little birds, some bold sparrows would fly to her finger to kiss her, and beside her was a black round-eared kitten rolling around coquettishly.

The little sparrow rubbed against her finger, Ming Lanying poked the little sparrow's head with her finger with a smile on her face, her bright eyes were like a goddess.

The wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who came to visit Ye Juelu all saw this innocent scene.

Someone said to Ye Juelu with a look of envy: "The princess is innocent, the prince and the concubine have a good fate."

No one doesn't like to have a beautiful, gentle and innocent wife.

Ye Juelu looked softly at Ming Lanying in the yard, "It's my blessing."

There are many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in Fengzhou City, but no matter how big the official is, it is no bigger than Hu Leqiang who is backed by Mr. Pei in Beijing, so they can only endure it.

It wasn't until He Bai and Shan Zhao led people to cut down the third bandit in official uniforms in the street, that they followed suit, knowing that it was King Yanbei who was in Fengzhou City, and specially brought a heavy gift to thank him for making connections.

They came together, and Ye Juelu happened to have something to ask them, so he didn't refuse.

They occupied the mansion openly and aboveboard to entertain them, and they talked for a long time before they left.

After sending everyone away, Ming Lanying appeared next to Ye Juelu holding the little black panther, "The little sparrow said that the bandits wanted to spy on the situation at night."

Ye Juelu nodded, "They have jointly written a case of grievances, clearly stating the cause and process of the incident, and will send it to the emperor, requesting severe punishment of officials of Fengzhou City."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Will this work?"

"It works. If you catch the bandit leader and plead guilty, you can be executed directly."

Ming Lanying opened her eyes wide, "So we want to suppress the bandits?"

Ye Juelu smiled slightly, "Of course it's not us. The emperor sent officials and [-] troops to do this."

Ming Lanying breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about it as if they were the first to open the way, "So everything we have done has paved the way for them? Maybe the final credit has nothing to do with us?!"

Ye Juelu nodded, "We don't need too much credit, it's too conspicuous."

In addition to being the master of the game, high meritorious deeds will also become a thorn in the eyes of others, and it will not be good for them in the long run.

Ming Lanying also wanted to understand this point, but it was impossible for her to work for nothing.

"Okay, okay, but I have to ask for something."

Although she couldn't help much, the account statistics compiled in a hurry were also very troublesome.

Ye Juelu looked at the mansion, "Yes, you can choose whatever you want in the mansion, as long as you can take it away without attracting attention."

"Row!"

Ming Lanying rolled up her sleeves, carried the little leopard on her shoulders, and excitedly went to search for some treasures.

The treasures hidden by corrupt officials are either in the government office or in the mansion.But they in the mansion can't move, otherwise they will be discovered by the officials who will take over later, but those in the mansion can still move a little.

Ye Juelu didn't do anything wrong to the subordinates, and those who saw it had a share, so the guards and secret guards went to search for things they liked and took them away.

They robbed all these things, the amount was too large, and they still couldn’t return them. In the end, they had to confiscate the property. Before they ransacked the property, they all understood the reason that it was a good idea to take advantage of it, so everyone turned a blind eye.

What's more, with Ye Juelu's identity, as long as it's not too much, even if the emperor finds out, he won't say anything.

Ming Lanying has no shortage of gold and silver now, but she is curious about some valuable antiques, He Bai and Shan Zhao heard that there are some of them, and excitedly come to join in the fun.

Hu Leqiang cooperated with bandits and gave them all gold, silver and jewelry. Some of the more valuable antiques were collected and played by himself, or given to Mr. Pei as a filial piety.

Relying on Zai Zai's keen sense of smell, Ming Lanying found the secret private treasury of corrupt officials. There are shelves on the left and right sides, plus four or five large boxes on the ground. There are many antique treasures stolen from wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, but the shelf on the left is I haven't made it up yet, it should be a filial piety to Mr. Pei a while ago.

Ming Lanying clicked her tongue twice, wiped her hands and touched them one by one.

He Bai held a jade that was bigger than her face, "This Lantian jade is so big! The carving is really good! The color of the water is also good, barely considered top-grade. Where did you get it from?"

"Of course it was snatched from those rich merchants' homes, stupid!"

Shan Zhao squatted in front of the box and fumbled for an old dagger, He Bai glanced at it from the corner of his eye, the scabbard of the dagger was old and looked ugly, like a very ordinary old dagger, he rolled his eyes in disgust.

"You can still look at it for a long time with a broken dagger, and you can see some colorful flowers, you are not very good!"

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully, this baby is different!"

Shan Zhao sneered, and pulled out the dagger. Half of the blade inside was glowing with a strange red light. Looking carefully, it was a dagger made of half ore and half refined iron.

"Hey!" He Bai's eyes widened, and he put down the big jade in his hand involuntarily, and walked towards Shan Zhao, "What kind of magic weapon is this! What material is this blood-red blade made of? Never seen it before? This It can still shine!"

Shan Zhao was also surprised, looked left and right, tested the sharpness with a piece of cloth embroidered with gold silk, and easily cut off a roll of cloth, but felt that it was not satisfying, so he chopped off the Lantian jade that He Bai found just now , the jade was split from the middle, but the cross-section of the knife edge was complete, and the corners were not broken at all.

This extremely smooth feeling made him feel that a human head could be easily cut open in front of him.

He Bai leaned closer and carefully looked at the knife-edge of Lantian Jade, and clicked his tongue twice in surprise, "This section is clean and neat, a rare treasured knife! Give it a try! Give it a try!"

Shan Zhao withdrew the dagger and raised it above his head, with an arrogant smile on his face, his big white teeth shaking so that Hebai gritted his teeth.

"Hey! That's not okay. I found it. The prince said whoever finds it will belong to him. If you have the ability to find what I want, I will consider changing it with you, or you can ask me, sweet Sweet cry Brother Shan Zhao, it's not that I can't consider playing with you."

He Bai stretched out his hand and thumped twice, but he couldn't reach it, and he couldn't bear to call his brother, so he stomped on him angrily.

"Then tell me, what is the name of this treasured sword? Auntie can't do it. There is only one in this world!"

Shan Zhao mocked her meanly, "Hey, I don't even know this! Are you stupid? I won't tell you unless you call my brother to listen. Do you want to talk or not? Tell me quickly, we won't wait until the deadline Oh~"

He Bai wanted to turn around and ask Ming Lanying for support, but found that her sister-in-law and her brother were whispering together, and her brother's hand was quietly hooked around her sister-in-law's waist.

She can't look for them at this time, but that rare dagger really makes people's heart flutter, she gritted her teeth and stared at Shan Zhao,

"It's okay to call, but I called the dagger to play for three days!"

Shan Zhao hissed and readily agreed.

Hebai stared at the dagger with distorted expression, his lips squirmed slightly, Shan Zhao lowered his head and leaned over to listen carefully.

But He Bai's voice was extremely low, and he spoke very fast, Shan Zhao could only hear her calling his name.

He Bai stretched out his hand confidently to grab the dagger, "It's over, play with me, play with me!"

Shan Zhao straightened up dissatisfied, "You said you were lonely! I didn't hear anything, sir, so it doesn't count! I'll give you a chance to do it again!"

"You're lying! I called you and didn't say I want to hear you!"

"You are so unreasonable! There is no one with such a low voice, who is still fishing in troubled waters! I am in a good mood, sir, and I will give you another chance. Make a good call!"

He Bai stomped his feet angrily, just about to give up, when he saw Shan Zhao wielding a dagger to easily peel off a palm-sized solid gold Pixiu, it was easier than cutting melons and fruits, and the freshness that had just been suppressed in his heart was aroused again.

He Bai had done enough mental construction for himself, and reluctantly called out "Brother Shan Zhao!"

Shan Zhao's heart vibrated violently, he lost control of his strength when he was playing with the dagger, and almost scratched his finger.

Ning Er also called him Brother Shan Zhao, but it was different from what He Bai called him.

The sound of "brother" made his steady heart beat wildly, and a sense of excitement rushed from the tailbone straight to the top of his head. In an instant, he felt refreshed all over his body, with an inexhaustible excitement.

He Bai gave himself a good time, seeing him in a daze, he immediately grabbed the dagger.

Touching the dagger with his fingers, his hands were warm and delicate, a little cool, different from ordinary daggers at all, He Bai's eyes widened excitedly, and he looked at the empty wooden shelf next to him.

With a twist of the waist and a turn of the wrist, the hollow sound was like a dragon chant and a phoenix, and the wooden frame one person tall split into two pieces.

"Baby baby, what's your name?"

After using Hebai once, he couldn't put it down, Shan Zhao came back to his senses and rolled his eyes.

"Do you think it suits you?"

"Then tell me, don't you know? Say it!"

"Who said I knew!" Shan Zhaoli snorted confidently, "But I know someone knows."

He Bai turned his head following Shan Zhao's gaze, and looked at Ye Juelu and Ming Lanying who had arrived behind her at some point.

Ming Lanying clasped her arms and looked at her with a half-smile, He Bai knew that it was because she committed another crime and was arrested.

"...Brother, sister-in-law."

Ming Lanying pointed to the two-part shelf on the ground, "Aren't you afraid that others won't know about sneaking in to get things? Just cut the shelf for others and pick out the things?"

Ye Juelu looked at the dagger in her hand, "The dragon-scale dagger, the treasure of the town that was tributed by the defeated country decades ago, can blow hair and break hair easily, cut copper and iron, and cut gold and jade without sound. It is rare. A rare sword."

He Bai's eyes lit up, "Dragon Scale! It really is a treasure, take it away!"

Shan Zhao hurriedly grabbed her arm that was about to receive the dagger, "Hey! This is what I fell in love with first! I promised to borrow it from you for three days, remember to return it to me!"

He Bai replied perfunctorily twice, and it is not certain who will belong to it when the time comes.

Ming Lanying shook her head helplessly, "These two brats..."

The secret room is only so big, when He Bai called Brother Shan Zhao just now, the two of them heard it too, and they were startled.

Several people spent a long time picking and choosing in the secret room, He Bai took a dragon scale sword, behind Shan Zhao he took a bag of night pearls, each of them was as big as a fist.

He Bai asked him what he did with so many luminous pearls, Shan Zhao said with distaste that it was too dark for the journey, and he used the strings of luminous pearls as a lamp to play with.

Hebai: "..."

Ming Lanying picked around, and asked Ye Juelu if she hadn't seen it before, but after Ye Juelu said she didn't want it anymore, the things stolen by corrupt officials, the top-notch treasures should all be given to Master Pei, and the rest Just like that, not the best.

After a round, no one caught my eye, and finally I only picked a pair of dragon and phoenix blood jade pendants for Dongxia.

"The rest belong to the emperor. This pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants should be given to Dongxia as a wedding gift! It's a good intention for the dragon and phoenix to bring good luck!"

Ye Juelu packed her things for her, secretly remembering what she said about her pick and choose today, so that someone secretly found a batch of treasures that matched her preferences, and sent them to the frontier first.

Ye Juelu used Hu Leqiang's tone to write a letter to the bandits, telling them to follow the plan.

That night, the leader of the bandit received endless news from his partner, and wanted to explore Fengzhou City at night, but for some reason, the stockade was attacked by a wave of hibernating poisons, and colorful poisons crawled around in the stockade. Go, plentiful, disgusting and scary.

The eight-foot man also had goose bumps all over his body, the cottage was in chaos, and he had no time to go to the city to inquire about news.

In the dark depths of the mountain forest, Ming Lanying put down the lark whistle on her lips, the task was completed, and Ye Juelu took her back with her light kung fu to smear her.
