"I was just upset about being driven to the cave last time, and I happened to run into Lord Wu who was hiding from the flood in the mountains, so I thought of making you suffer a loss.

I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

After saying this with a sad face, Village Chief Liu looked at Xu Jinhuan not far away with a pleading look, hoping that the girl would be merciful and let him go.

But Xu Jinhuan was not as soft-hearted as he thought. Instead, he glanced at him coldly and said to the bandit leader.

"Ma Wencai, it seems that Li Yichang is right. You need to exercise your brain more, otherwise you might be deceived into buying a 'magic pill' when you are old."

Ma Wencai scratched his head after hearing this, "Boss, don't listen to Li Yichang's nonsense, my brain is very flexible!"

Xu Jinhuan, however, pretended not to hear his inexplicably confident words, and turned to Xie Datou and said, "Datou, since this man is not honest, there is no need to keep him, just kill him.

Anyway, Mr. Wu is still alive. When he has been soaked in the rain, we can ask him the same question."

For Xie Datou, Xu Jinhuan's words were more effective than the imperial edict, so he didn't ask anything, just drew out the long knife in his hand and walked towards Village Chief Liu.

"Hey, no, no, we have something to discuss!" Village chief Liu didn't expect that these people would use knives as soon as they said they would, and he immediately shouted anxiously.

But no matter how loud he shouted, Xie Datou would not stop as long as Xu Jinhuan didn't speak.

Village Chief Liu watched the long knife getting closer and closer to his neck, and the feeling of being gripped by death became more and more intense. He could only shout.

"I confess, I confess everything, don't kill me!"

Xu Jinhuan still didn't say anything, just looked at Village Chief Liu quietly. Xie Datou's long knife was still approaching Village Chief Liu's neck at a leisurely pace.

The cold sweat of Village Chief Liu slowly slid down his forehead, the sweat slid across his eyelids and fell into his eyes. Village Chief Liu burst into tears due to the sweat.

"I'm telling you the truth. It was me and Lao Li who were obsessed with trying to get the gold and silver from your stronghold. That's why we've been causing trouble for you time and time again."

After hearing what Village Chief Liu said, Ma Wen was stunned. It turned out that this man really didn’t tell the truth before. But what gold and silver did they have in their village?

He thought so and asked this question.

"We only have a few houses in our village. How can there be any gold or silver worth your conspiring?"

Village Chief Liu rolled his eyes, and before he could come up with a suitable lie, he saw the long knife at his neck move closer, almost touching his flesh.

Village chief Liu broke out in a cold sweat again. If the long knife moved again, he would probably have to face his dead parents.

Although he might die if he told the truth, if he didn't tell it now, he would die immediately, so the longer he could live, the better!

After making up his mind, Village Chief Liu no longer bothered to make up stories and just told everything he knew.

"Old Li and I happened to meet the bandits from your mountain stronghold before. We knew that they had looted the relief money from the imperial court, so we wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go up the mountain and see if we could take some away during the chaos."

Xu Jinhuan was speechless after hearing this. It is true that the ignorant are the most daring. With their small bodies, they still want to take advantage of the chaos to rob. Is it that she, Xu Jinhuan, can't lift the knife anymore, or are you guys getting too arrogant?

But, disaster relief money?

Xu Jinhuan turned around and glanced at Ma Wencai, "Ma Wencai, why don't you explain? Why didn't I see this item in the property details you handed in?"

Ma Wencai frowned upon hearing this and said, "Boss, I am innocent. Those things didn't even make it to the mountain. The Wu family asked us to rob them and then immediately sent them to a post station. We are not responsible for anything else after that.

When Ma Wencai said this, he patted his head hard.

"I was also out of my mind at the time. How could I have believed the words of the Wu family? We did all the dirty work, but in the end, it was those in power who enjoyed the fruits of victory."

When Xu Jinhuan heard the loud voice, he looked at Ma Wencai helplessly.

"Please be gentle. You are already stupid enough. If you keep on doing this, I'm afraid I'll have to send people to look for you in the future."

Ma Wencai smiled innocently, "Boss, I know you are concerned about me. Although my brain is not very good, I am an expert at recognizing the way. Even if I go deep into the mountains, I can find the way."

Xu Jinhuan turned his head away from the idiot and thought about the information the two had just revealed.

It seems that the disaster relief money either went into the Wu family's warehouse or was sent to the army controlled by the Wu family.

Thinking of the Wu family warehouse, Xu Jinhuan thought of the large amount of supplies in her own space. Wu Daoyi had done so much, but in the end it was all to make wedding dresses for her.

Xu Jinhuan sincerely thanked Wu Daoyi for his gift in his heart. If it weren't for the strong support of his warehouse's food, it would certainly not be easy for him to complete the hidden mission.

Xu Jinhuan's thoughts wandered for a while, but he quickly came back to his senses and said to Xie Datou, "Let's deal with this guy and make it clean."

Since you are dominated by greed, you must learn to pay the price.

"Yes, boss." Xie Datou responded respectfully, then swung his long knife and chopped it on the neck of Village Chief Liu.

Village chief Liu opened his eyes wide as he watched the blood on his body increase. His vision went dark and he gradually became silent.

He never understood until his death why this seemingly delicate and weak little girl could be more cruel than anyone else...

After Xu Jinhuan dealt with these people's mess, it was already night again.

While eating dinner, she listened to the drizzle outside and thought that the rain would soon stop.

"Boss, today's dishes are all your favorites, eat them quickly, or else they will all be eaten by that idiot Ma Wencai!"

When Li Yichang looked up, he saw Xu Jinhuan looking out the window with a heavy expression. He immediately called Xu Jinhuan, trying to help her get rid of her heavy mood.

Before Xu Jinhuan could say anything, Ma Wencai, a guy who couldn't read other people's expressions, became unhappy.

"Li Yichang, are you trying to compete with me again? What do you mean I ate it all? I only took one or two bites of each dish!"

Li Xiaoxiao picked up a bite of Xu Jinhuan's favorite dish and said with a smile, "Yes, Brother Ma only took a few bites, but that one bite was a little big."

Ma Wencai could still argue with Li Yichang, but as soon as he met Li Xiaoxiao, he stopped.

He said to himself that he, Ma Wencai, was a grown man and couldn't argue with a little girl!

Xu Jinhuan looked at the funny people on the table and shook his head helplessly. They were all quite normal when they first met them, but why did they become more childish the more they got to know each other?

"Okay, stop teasing Ma Wencai, let's all eat."

After Xu Jinhuan spoke up, the people at the table stopped teasing Ma Wencai and focused on eating.

After dinner, Xu Jinhuan said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, let's discuss what to do next."
