Chapter 417 A thorough search of the house revealed a time traveler.
Upon seeing this, Lin Luoxi immediately ordered the soldiers to clear the area and quietly followed the servant, trailing him all the way.
They saw the servant enter a luxuriously decorated room, start rummaging through the drawers under the dressing table, and stuff a large stack of silver notes into his pocket.
"I advise you to bring out everything you've hidden." Lin Luoxi saw that the servant's chest was bulging with stuffing and he wasn't stopping, so she directly stopped him.
"Uh~" The maid who was standing by the bed was startled by Lin Luoxi's voice, and the silver notes in her hand scattered all over the floor.
“This money is the soldiers’ pay. You’re using it? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?” Lin Luoxi’s eyes grew colder with each word she spoke.
"I, I..." The maid was so frightened by Lin Luoxi's gaze that she didn't even bother to pick up the silver notes that had fallen to the ground, and tried to escape.
"Take out the silver notes in your bosom, or else, swords have no eyes..." Lin Luoxi held the dagger in her hand across the maid's chest, gesturing for her to take out the silver notes from her bosom.
"I'll take it, I'll take it..." The maid saw the gleaming dagger on her chest and was so frightened that she quickly took out the silver notes and handed them to Lin Luoxi.
Lin Luoxi looked at the silver notes that were clearly half gone, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips, but she did not put the dagger in her hand away.
"Here, here, there's none left..." The maid's face paled as her little scheme was exposed, and she continued to pull out silver notes.
Once she had seen enough, Lin Luoxi put away the silver notes and then let the person go.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Luoxi had finally released the person. Not daring to linger, she ran away.
Lin Luoxi ignored the maid and went straight into the room, starting to rummage through drawers and cabinets looking for valuables.
She would put away the silver notes for the time being, but she didn't put away the vases or the gold and silver jewelry belonging to the owner of the house. Instead, she waited for the soldiers to come and take them away.
Lin Luoxi and the soldiers conducted a thorough search, leaving no stone unturned, digging deep to find everything of value.
It took more than a dozen truckloads to haul away all the belongings from the house.
The soldiers were thrifty and managed the household well, leaving nothing out, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.
If the tiles and floorboards weren't inedible, they probably would have pried them off.
Lin Luoxi thought that Duke Xiao must have been born in the Year of the Rat, otherwise, why would he hide things everywhere, always finding the most secluded corners to hide them?
Fortunately, she had her daughter who knew the location of the treasure. She led the soldiers to dig, and they found it every time.
"You just wait, when our Duke returns, he will definitely not let you off..." The women stood at the gate of the mansion, reluctant to leave.
Seeing Lin Luoxi and the soldiers taking away all their belongings, he angrily pointed at Lin Luoxi and threatened her.
"What makes you so arrogant? These are the fates of your dukes and embezzled soldiers' pay."
"Even you, you were bought back by Duke Xiao with embezzled money. If you can't bear to give up your current wealth and luxury, I wouldn't mind sending you to reunite with your Duke..."
Seeing these women adorned with jewels, Lin Luoxi smiled sarcastically, walked over, and quickly pulled the jewels off their heads.
"You, you, don't go too far. You're a woman too. Why should women make things difficult for each other..." Just as Lin Luoxi was removing the jewelry from the women's heads, Shu Mo, one of the women in Duke Xiao's harem, spoke up angrily.
Upon hearing these familiar words, Lin Luoxi opened her eyes and looked in Shu Mo's direction.
Seeing the restless ambition in the woman Shu Mo's eyes, Lin Luoxi smiled.
Unexpectedly, I encountered a time traveler in this world.
Moreover, that woman gave her a very unpleasant feeling, as if they were sworn enemies, with magnetic fields that were inherently incompatible.
So what? Since she's colluding with corrupt officials, she won't show any mercy.
"If you keep babbling, I'll arrest you all..." He glanced at the woman disdainfully and led the group away.
Lin Luoxi didn't have the soldiers take the vases and the like back; instead, she took them directly to the pawnshop.
They exchanged all the valuables for silver, and as for the grain, they took it back to eat.
Lin Luoxi calculated in her mind that the valuables confiscated from this house were enough to pay the salaries of most of the soldiers, but it was still far from enough.
Thinking of Duke Xiao's capable deputy general, Lin Luoxi's lips curled up.
They dispatched another team to Li Lianbai's residence.
"Oh, I didn't expect to see you again." Lin Luoxi and her entourage had just arrived at the house Li Lianbai had bought when they saw the time-traveling woman from before—Shu Mo.
"What are you doing here?" The transmigrated woman, Shu Mo, was furious when she saw Li Luxi.
It was as if they were blind, not seeing that Lin Luoxi was wearing the armor of a general.
She was arrogant and conceited, as if Lin Luoxi had come to occupy her territory.
"What you're saying is hilarious. I'm here to confiscate your property by imperial decree..." Lin Luoxi felt a strange sense of disgust towards this transmigrated woman, and naturally, she couldn't be friendly towards her.
"Hmph, you say you were ordered to confiscate my property, then produce the imperial edict. Otherwise, you're just abusing your power and doing evil..." Shu Mo said to Lin Luoxi in a very impolite tone.
“How dare you! This is Princess Changping. Princess Changping’s words are imperial edicts…” Jiang Feng, a soldier behind Lin Luoxi, spoke up for her with great tact.
Upon hearing this, Lin Luoxi gave Jiang Feng an approving look.
Jiang Feng is perceptive; when we get back, we must promote him to work alongside Xie Hanchuan.
Such a perceptive mouth double can help the boss with a lot of things.
"What Princess Changping? How could there possibly be such a person as Princess Changping in this world..." Shu Mo looked completely bewildered upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, and muttered loudly to himself.
"Smack!"
"Open your dog eyes and look! The person standing in front of you is Princess Changping."
With Lin Luoxi's tacit approval, Jiang Feng smirked, walked over, and slapped Shu Mo several times.
Shu Mo's delicate face was swollen from Jiang Feng's powerful slap, and he dared not act recklessly anymore.
Standing to the side, Lin Luoxi gleaned a glimpse of the world's future from the transmigrated woman's fragmented words—the transmigrated woman knew the direction of this world.
According to the transmigrated woman, Lin Luoxi shouldn't have appeared in this world, and even became Princess Changping, disrupting the course of this world. That's why the transmigrated woman was so shocked and flustered?
Who cares? Even if she knows the direction the world is heading, so what? She probably doesn't know everything she's afraid of.
Otherwise, how could she not know that she was about to end up penniless and homeless?
