Chapter 45 I am a phoenix, not a peacock

Following Jiang Ruo's instructions, An Er dragged the scarred man out and threw him to the ground.

Jiang Ruo looked at the scarred man who was tied up and said with a smile: "Wake him up!"

An Er brought a bucket of water and poured it on the scarred man with a "splash".

After a while, the scarred man opened his eyes dazedly...

The scarred man's eyelids twitched as he looked at Jiang Ruo, who had a wicked smile on her face.

Why was he kidnapped?

The scarred man had his hands tied behind his back. He struggled unwillingly for a few times, and finally, with a dark face, he shouted, "Let me go now, or the Shengzhou prefect will not let you go."

Jiang Ruo took two steps back, pretending to be frightened, "Ouch! I'm so scared!"

Jiang Ruo changed the subject, her face fierce, "Hurry up and tell me where I hid the silver, otherwise, I will... castrate you."

Everyone twitched their lips: It seemed that the master really had the potential to be a bandit.

Even worse than a bandit!

Xiao Chengjin, who was lying on a small couch beside him, asked: "......?"

Ruoruo, we are girls, so if you do this, it might be... not so good.

However, on the other hand, he can live peacefully under Ruo Ruo's protection.

The scarred man looked at Jiang Ruo's sinister eyes and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat...

This guy must be a devil!

"Aunt, I'll tell you everything I know. My family has been a single-son family for six generations, and they're counting on me to carry on the family line... Woo woo." After saying that, the man with the scar struggled to get up.

Jiang Ruo put his hands on his hips, looking impatient. "Hurry up and lead the way. If you dare to hide it, you can forget about continuing your family line."

The scarred man walked tremblingly towards the underground secret room where the silver was hidden.

I thought bitterly in my heart: Village chief, I’m sorry, I really have no way to help my second brother.

Woohoo, why did things turn out like this?

I should have known not to provoke this shrew.

Damn it, in just half a meal’s time, the whole team was wiped out!

An Yi followed behind Jiang Ruo, a faint smile appearing on his cold face.

If the master wakes up and knows that he has such a strong princess, he will probably thank the emperor and Prime Minister Jiang!

The door to the underground dark room.

Jiang Ruo looked at the hesitant scarred man and angrily kicked him, cursing, "Hurry up."

What are you thinking about!

Can you still hide now that you are at the door?

At this moment, the scarred man was so frustrated that he made up his mind and walked directly towards the mechanism on the wall...

He pointed at a brick with his chin and said, "Pry open this brick. Inside is the mechanism to activate the secret room." At the end, his voice was choked.

So much treasure, all went to this stinky woman...

What are they trying to gain by not wanting to eat or wear these things?

"Master, let me do this." An Yi took out a dagger and quickly pried open the brick that the scarred man pointed at.

"Boom..."

Jiang Ruo looked at the open stone door with shining eyes.

Nowadays, every wealthy family has a secret room to hide their money.

But! No matter how hidden the secret room is, it’s useless... Hehe!

An Yi waved his sleeve to clear away the dust on the stone door, entered the dark room, and lit a few candles beside him with a tinder.

The scarred man walked into the dark room with weak legs, and with tears in his eyes he introduced the property situation to Jiang Ruo.

After the introduction, An Yi consciously led the scarred man out of the dark room.

Jiang Ruo looked at An Yi's departing back and raised his eyebrows.

The young man is mature, steady, rational and wise, and is a rare and good talent.

Jiang Ruo put all the valuables in the dark room into the space without saying a word.

Gold, silver, jewelry, and most importantly, a box of official silver for disaster relief.

It must have been obtained by the government and bandits working together.

This box of official silver will be used to deal with the drought in the near future!

Jiang Ruo walked out of the dark room with a smile on her face and returned to the hall humming a little tune.

At this time, the incense in the hall had dissipated, and the bandits were tied together and sleeping in the dark.

"Take turns to keep watch, and the others find a place to sleep."

As soon as Jiang Ruo finished speaking, Qin Zhen and others walked in with strange expressions.

"Mrs. Xiao, I found several women chained in a room..."

Jiang Ruo slapped his forehead and wondered how he could have forgotten about this?

.......

In a room, five disheveled women looked at Jiang Ruo and his companions in horror.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Ruo's good mood disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She felt very sympathetic towards the plight of the five women.

Things have already happened, and she can't change anything?

I feel so angry when I think of those bandits.

Damn it! It’s ok to rob money, but they also raped her. They are really doing all kinds of evil!

After rescuing several women, they knelt on the ground trembling and kowtowed.

"Thank you for saving our lives, in the next life we ​​will definitely repay you by tying a knot with a grass ring..." Several women said in hoarse voices, their eyes full of despair.

His innocence was ruined, and he would only be despised and cursed if he lived.

Jiang Ruo naturally knew that a woman's innocence was the most important thing, and he felt distressed when he saw the despair in their eyes.

After some deliberation, she said dejectedly, "As the saying goes, a good death is worse than a miserable life. It's not worth dying for those beasts."

"We have already wiped out their bandit den. Tomorrow, we will take them to Jizhou City. These bandits will not have a good end."

Upon hearing this, several women suddenly raised their heads.

The benefactor was right. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. They want to see those beasts punished with their own eyes.

It was the middle of the night and Jiang Ruo had no desire to sleep.

At this moment, a "clang clang" sound came from her sea of ​​consciousness, making her dizzy.

[Note: The sound of the phoenix's cry is described as "clang clang." (The phoenixes fly, their calls clang clang harmoniously.) I searched this online, so please don't criticize me!]

Jiang Ruo: What was that sound just now?

She looked around in confusion, left and right.

Could it be that... this burden beside me is about to wake up?

Jiang Ruo instantly perked up.

Haha! This surprise came too quickly.

She must have kept a kind heart, done good deeds, and God rewarded her.

The moment she entered the space, Jiang Ruo, filled with joy, was dazzled by a beam of golden light...

Jiang Ruo subconsciously let go of Xiao Chengjin, who was held around the waist in her arms, and blocked the dazzling golden light with her hands.

Xiao Chengjin, who was released, slowly slid to the ground. At the same time, his eyes trembled at the stimulation of the golden light...

The golden light slowly dissipated, and Jiang Ruo could see the "peacock" flapping its wings in the air.

"Hua, Hua Peacock?"

Oh my god! How could such a beautiful peacock appear in this space?

Look at this gorgeous and dazzling feathers, it can be sold for a lot of silver!

No, she wants rich people to buy numbers and then queue up to watch. That way... money will grow legs and run into her pocket.

Wow, she is so smart!

Jiang Ruo was amazed by this beautiful "peacock".

The phoenix flapping its wings in mid-air was so angry after hearing what Jiang Ruo said that it almost fell down.

What the hell is a peacock?

"Woman, I am a phoenix, not a peacock... Humph!"

Jiang Ruo listened to its arrogant words and widened her eyes.

What?

Is it a phoenix?

It's a talking phoenix!

Haha! A golden phoenix flew out of space!
