Chapter 915 Miss Jiang
Li Tieniu secretly hated himself. It was the first time he followed his brother out to sell salt, but who would have thought he would encounter such a thing.
My brother just died here while fighting hard.
I won't live long either.
The two brothers had no choice but to take this path, as this is what their family does. How many people can make a living without relying on smuggling salt?
Their border area is remote and the terrain is desolate. Although they have land at home, the annual harvest is not enough to pay various taxes, and they can't even afford to eat.
Of course it’s not that the land here is bad, but because the surrounding barbarians invade from time to time.
Before the harvest season, large numbers of barbarians would come to plunder from time to time.
The officers and soldiers are corrupt, and their subordinates follow suit. Here, apart from deducting the livelihoods of ordinary people like them, these people probably have no intention of expelling these barbarians.
As long as it's not a large-scale invasion, they don't care at all.
The price of salt here is very expensive, one pound of salt costs one or two taels of silver.
How can ordinary people afford it?
This is why the term "smuggling salt" came into being.
Their father, uncle and grandfather all died on this road, and now the two brothers are also going to die on this road.
But this time his death was really unjust.
The two brothers had practiced some Kung Fu with monks in the mountains before, so they dared to take this road. Who would have thought that they would be drugged by these bandits. It is true that if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
My brother is gone, and now I am gone too.
Leaving behind my sister-in-law, younger sister and blind mother at home, the days ahead will definitely be more difficult.
It is easy to imagine that without a man to protect the family, my sister-in-law, younger sister and mother would probably not survive.
Sooner or later the family will be reunited in the underworld.
Secret hatred.
The other young men, some from their village and some from other villages, all had red eyes at this time, but there was nothing they could do.
Faced with these bandits, they are now powerless and waiting to be slaughtered.
Just then, a woman stumbled out.
Judging from the clothes she was wearing, I could tell that she was the young lady who had stayed here last night with two servants and a nanny.
I'm afraid it's difficult to escape from the clutches of these people now.
If the woman really fell into the hands of these people, she would probably end up worse than them.
Sure enough, the three bandits burst into laughter when they saw the woman rushing towards them in panic.
"Boss, what happened? Why did you let a woman escape? It seems that Boss still needs that gold."
These words were quite vulgar, but when the woman rushed in front of them, everyone was stunned to see that the young woman was actually holding a dagger in her hand.
Perhaps it was because he was too unprepared, and the knife fell immediately.
The two men facing the woman had their necks wiped directly.
It's so clean and neat that it's unimaginable.
The remaining bandit was startled and quickly clenched the knife in his hand.
He danced vigorously and rushed directly towards the woman.
"How dare you, little bitch, kill my brother!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao finished the last one and took a deep breath. The ancient dress she was wearing was indeed inconvenient.
Number Nine is quite considerate. He equips himself with clothes from the world he enters.
Now she still has the mask on her face and the cape behind her.
However, the dress is definitely suitable for the clothing of this era, and it looks a bit mysterious like a female knight.
There were a pile of corpses lying all over the yard, and there were only twenty or thirty people alive.
Jiang Xiaoxiao went up and cut the ropes on their hands.
Killing people is not something a human should do. At least what you kill in another world are just monsters.
Now it is a real murder. My hands that save people have completely turned into a murderous demon.
Of course, there was no psychological burden in killing the people in front of him, after all, they were bandits.
Didn’t you see that these people were killing everyone in the yard?
Li Tieniu and other villagers took the knives on the ground and chopped the bandits into meat paste to vent their anger. Too many of their people died.
All the brothers who set out on the journey together were just trying to get a meal and for their families to survive in this chaotic world.
But now they have been killed by these bandits, and not only these people have lost their lives, but the people in their families may also be in crisis.
Of course, the fat man and the big black guy in the room couldn't escape either.
The fat man was clearly still alive, but was killed by these people.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the three bodies in front of her, two men and a nanny.
These were pointed out to her by Li Tieniu, who said that he brought her here together. Of course, there was also a woman's body here.
In fact, she was the only one who knew that this woman was probably the young lady, but it was obvious that the young lady had committed suicide because she did not want to be humiliated by the bandits.
Unfortunately, no one dared to look at the young lady clearly, so naturally everyone thought that the girl was Jiang Xiaoxiao's maid.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt melancholy. This time she was completely speechless.
Number 10 is very playful.
This person's IQ is absolutely top-notch, and he is definitely an expert at setting the difficulty level.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoxiao is at a loss for words!
It was pitch black.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sat on a stone in the yard and sighed, the dagger in her hand dancing like a flower.
The world is so big, but there is no place for me to stay.
I'm really drunk.
Li Tieniu discussed the matter with a dozen young and strong people in the village.
This girl was their benefactor. Now it was obvious that all her bodyguards and servants were dead. They didn't see that they were all looking up at the sky and sighing in worry.
Now they can't just stand by and watch someone die.
Li Tieniu stepped forward cautiously, "Girl!"
"My last name is Jiang!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was depressed.
"Miss Jiang, if you have somewhere to go, we can escort you to find your relatives. If you really have no place to stay, you can stay in our village first. These things should all be on your carriage."
A bundle was handed over.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that it was top-quality silk. Even if she didn't have much taste, she could tell that the wrappings were all high-end goods.
Open it and take a look.
A small box, a letter, a broken sword, and a few sets of clothes.
Jiang Xiaoxiao opened the letter. It was a very standard letter. It was from a girl named Jiang Xuemei. Her father had entrusted her to the care of his close friend Feng Zhiyuan before his death. The two families had a child arranged for marriage.
Unfortunately, the last servant also died.
This young lady has apparently returned to her hometown.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took the pass.
She didn't care about anything else and didn't bother pretending to be Miss Jiang, but without a pass, she couldn't move an inch.
This pass is similar to an ID card.
Jiang Xiaoxiao put it away, since Jiang Xuemei was dead anyway.
In order to find number 10, I will have to travel around in the future, and it seems that this thing will be useful to me.
