It's late at night.
The dozen or so people remaining in the village were sleeping soundly when a strange fragrance drifted in and all of them fainted in their sleep.
After making sure that these people were asleep, a group of people rushed straight to the warehouse. Sang Biao took the lead and chopped off the door lock with a big knife in just a few strokes.
"Brothers, our good days are in the early stages, move!"
The lights illuminated the warehouse, and the red boxes in the room looked festive and joyful.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by so many good things? They all wanted to see what all the gold, silver and jewelry looked like, but they found that every box was locked.
"Time is urgent, brothers, let's move the things first, otherwise we won't be able to move them away by daybreak. We can divide them up when we get back later."
Lu Haoran looked down upon these money-hungry people who looked like they had never seen the world.
"OK."
Sang Biao spoke, and everyone started moving their things out.
"Shh, how much gold is in this box? Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly powerful."
"Of course not! How can the dowry of the daughter of the Zhennan General's Mansion be small? Let's move quickly. When it's dawn, the brothers will go out for a big meal."
Looking at the boxes of dowry being loaded onto the cart, the corners of Lu Haoran's lips unconsciously rose.
"Brother Sang Biao, once these trucks are full, just watch the brothers continue to move. I'll send a batch back to the ruined temple first, and then we'll be together there..."
He didn't say the rest, but Sang Biao understood.
"Go quickly and come back quickly, I'm afraid we'll have to transport it twice more."
When the warehouse was completely looted, Sang Biao was overjoyed and took the last batch of boxes back to the ruined temple to divide the loot.
At this moment, a strange smile appeared on Lu Haoran's lips. He suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and several arrows flew like raindrops from a distance.
The defenseless Sang Biao and a group of bandits fell down with their eyes wide open.
Those standing in the middle still wanted to resist and break out, but they were besieged not only by endless arrows, but also by Lu Haoran and his men.
Lu Haoran looked at Sang Biao who was lying on the ground and pointing at him, pulled off his face mask and squatted down.
"Tomorrow, the news that Pingyang Marquis' Mansion has wiped out the bandits from Hongtou Mountain will spread far and wide. All the people will thank us for getting rid of you evildoers."
"And I will spend this money slowly for you, so go ahead and rest assured, brother." After saying that, Lu Haoran took out his dagger with a sinister expression and stabbed it into the other person's abdomen.
Blood splattered out. Until his death, Sang Biao never thought that the other party would be more insidious and cruel than himself, a bandit.
Seeing so much money, he was tempted. As they had agreed on a 50-50 split, he wanted to cheat, but he didn't think of killing them all.
He just wanted to use force to force the other party to accept the 30-70 split, but he didn't expect the other party to directly take their lives.
ruthless!
So cruel!
Sang Biao grabbed his clothes tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness.
He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth he only spat out mouthfuls of blood.
As the blood lost, his body turned cold and he died with his eyes open and stopped breathing.
"Sir, all the bandits are dead, and there is definitely no one left alive." The subordinate reported.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack your things. Have someone open the city gates and bring everything back to the mansion before the fifth watch."
"yes."
…
The next morning.
"Have you heard? The bandits from Red Head Mountain and Black Head Mountain teamed up to break into General Zhennan's daughter's house last night and robbed her of her dowry. They got into a fight over how to divide the loot."
"I heard that the prince of Pingyang Marquisate arrived with his soldiers and happened to see the Black Head Bandits hurriedly leaving with the dowry. They wanted to give chase, but were stopped by the Red Head Bandits."
"Although we finally killed all the bandits from Red Head Mountain, the dowry was still taken away by Black Head Mountain."
Everyone sighed and felt sympathy for Xu Jinyi when they thought of the staggering dowry.
"Where's the little girl? Where are the people in the villa? Are they all okay?"
"I heard that the girl went to Lingyun Temple to pray for General Zhennan and wasn't at the manor. Did the robbers deliberately choose that time to attack?"
"I heard that the remaining dozen or so people in the villa were all killed, and the bodies were just transported to the government office. I'm afraid the little girl still doesn't know what happened."
"Oh my god, that little girl is so miserable. On her wedding day, something happened at home and she was abandoned. She thought the remaining generous dowry would provide her with a comfortable life, but now it was stolen overnight. How is she going to live like this?"
Passersby shook their heads: "It's only a matter of time. The girl is a woman, she can't keep all that dowry. Just live a positive life."
"But the Prince of Pingyang is great. He has eliminated the arrogant Sang Biao who has been so rampant for so many years. From now on, when we leave the city, we don't have to worry about passing by Hongtou Mountain."
The passerby was delighted: "Yes, we have really suffered from the persecution of these bandits for so many years. The Prince of Pingyang is a good man."
"It wasn't his fault for the choice he made that day. It's human nature to encounter such a thing."
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and Lu Haoran's reputation was cleared in an instant.
At this moment, he was in the secret room of the mansion, staring at the large mahogany boxes with excitement.
The Marquis patted Lu Haoran's shoulder with a look of satisfaction: "You did a good job last night.
"Putting the blame on Blackhead Mountain is a good strategy. After all, they are bandits. Even if they deny it, no one will believe it."
"With these things, I believe you will be able to marry a wife who will be helpful to you."
"Keren, please send some silver to comfort her."
After all, he is his eldest grandson, and the Marquis likes him very much.
"Father, I know."
Their Pingyang Marquis Mansion is not a century-old family, and this title was inherited from their great-grandfather.
Their generation is the fifth generation. Their ancestors have all been farmers. If it weren't for their great-grandfather, they would still be working in the fields to make a living.
Therefore, my family's business acumen is really average, and the several shops are in a state of neither making profit nor losing money.
So although the Pingyang Marquis Mansion looks prosperous from the outside, in reality, there is not much money in the account.
Now looking at so many boxes of silver and money in front of him, Lu Haoran couldn't wait to pick up the axe and break the boxes.
The Marquis's heart was also boiling with excitement, as it was the first time he had seen so much silver and money.
With a few cracks of the axe, the two men opened the box with a nervous and excited mood.
!!!
!!!
!!!
Lu Haoran's whole body stiffened. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and his breathing became heavy.
"impossible?!"
"Stone? How could it be a stone?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Haoran's eyes turned red.
He threw down his axe like a madman and moved the big rock on top.
piece
Two pieces
Three pieces
Finally, a whole box was poured out, and his face turned pale in an instant, without any blood color.
