Chapter 209: General Star Appears in the World, Master Qi Sha
Mrs. Cao was awakened by the pungent smell.
There was darkness in front of her eyes, making her feel as if she was blind.
She was trembling with fear, "Is there anyone here? Where is this? Help..."
Before she uttered the word "life", she felt a cold touch and a hint of pain on her neck.
Mrs. Cao guessed that it was a sharp weapon like a sword, and she was so scared that she immediately fell silent.
Ye Chutang asked in a hoarse male voice: "Where is the wealth accumulated by the Cao family over the years hidden?"
Mrs. Cao's heart skipped a beat and she immediately denied it.
"The Cao family has been raided, and all their property has been taken away by the prefect."
A sinister laugh fell into her ears.
"Those who do not tell the truth will go to hell."
As he finished speaking, Ye Chutang lit the tinderbox.
The disheveled Sun Chu suddenly caught Mrs. Cao's eyes, scaring her so much that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Ye Chutang poked her painful spot.
Mrs. Cao woke up immediately because of the pain.
Seeing the horrific scene again, her eyelids rolled up again.
Before he could faint, Ye Chutang threatened: "If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you!"
He pressed the dagger in his hand downward, penetrating deep into his skin and causing blood to flow wildly.
Mrs. Cao's clothes were soaked with warm blood and felt sticky.
Fearing death, she immediately said, "In the Jixiang Cloth Shop in the east of the city, and the Wanfu Restaurant in the west of the city."
These two places are not officially the Cao family's properties.
Therefore, even if the Cao family was raided, most of their assets would be left behind.
She originally wanted to leave half of the money to her grandson and use the other half to make her life easier.
But now there is nothing left!
So, without Ye Chutang taking any action, she fainted from a heart attack.
Ye Chutang sent Madam Cao back to the dungeon, threw her at the door, and made some noise.
Whether any officials will come to rescue her depends on her luck.
She left the dungeon and went to the two places mentioned by Mrs. Cao.
Secret rooms were built in these two places, which contained many valuable items such as gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Ye Chutang not only looted the secret room, but also took away everything in the cloth shop and the restaurant.
If time wasn't limited, she would have cleared out all the shops under the Cao family's name!
After finishing her work, she returned to the secret room in the dungeon and left with Sun Chu.
Merit value +239751.
Ye Chutang was shocked by the number of words and looked at Sun Chu in his hand in disbelief.
"Who are you? How come you have so many merit points?"
Even if you are a great philanthropist who wants to save the world, there won't be so many.
Therefore, such a huge amount of merit points can be saved by Sun Chu in the future!
When Ye Chutang thought of Sun Chu's identity, two words emerged in his mind - good general!
Thinking of this, she carried Sun Chu back to the side room and woke up Qi Yanzhou.
The strong stench entered Qi Yanzhou's nose, making him frown in discomfort.
There was no light in the side room.
But there were two lanterns hanging at the door of the main house, and a faint light came in, enough for people to see.
He saw a dark shadow lying on the ground, and Ye Chutang standing next to the dark shadow.
Qi Yanzhou's face changed slightly when he thought that he hadn't even noticed Ye Chutang getting up.
"Atang, what happened?"
Before he finished speaking, he came to Ye Chutang's side and held her behind him in a protective posture.
Ye Chutang pulled Qi Yanzhou to sit down beside the bed.
"The man on the ground is called Sun Chu. He was found by the 'Ghost Thief'. He was imprisoned in a secret room in the dungeon of the prefectural government..."
She told Qi Yanzhou Sun Chu's identity.
"He is highly skilled in martial arts and military tactics. Now he is under my control. If used well, he will become one of your powerful generals."
Qi Yanzhou didn't care whether Sun Chu could be used by him.
What he cares about is the relationship between the 'Ghost Thief' and Ye Chutang.
"Atang, you..."
Ye Chutang guessed what Qi Yanzhou was going to ask and interrupted him.
"A Zhou, I won't tell you anything about the 'Ghost Thief', and don't ask."
Qi Yanzhou grabbed Ye Chutang's shoulders and looked at her seriously.
"Ah Tang, I just want to ask you one thing, will the 'Ghost Thief' harm you?"
"Won't!"
Qi Yanzhou felt relieved after hearing Ye Chutang's firm answer.
"That's good. This Sun Chu will be very useful."
Ye Chutang asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
Qi Yanzhou looked at Sun Chu on the ground and briefly explained the origin of the Wuji Sect.
The Wuji Sect is a very mysterious sect.
It only appears in times of chaos.
His most outstanding disciples would select good generals to serve as his successors, assisting them wholeheartedly and thus facilitating the change of dynasties.
When the great work is completed, the disciple will disappear without a trace.
Back then, when the Qi family assisted the Zhao family in seizing power, they received help from the Wuji Sect.
After listening, Ye Chutang became more curious.
"What a magical martial arts sect, with no desires or requests, only wishing for the unification of the world."
Qi Yanzhou expressed his guess.
"I think the Wuji Sect has an obsession with military tactics that others cannot understand, which is why they appear in troubled times, select good generals, use military tactics, and improve military tactics."
Ye Chutang nodded in agreement.
It is not surprising that Sun Wu's descendants are obsessed with military tactics.
"Then how about leaving Sun Chu here and placing him in the National Defense Army?"
What she valued in Sun Chu was not his military strategy, but his ability and channels to make money.
Qi Yanzhou had no objection, "Atang, you take a rest first, I'll take him to find Han Chong."
Ye Chutang reminded him, "Sun Chu is seriously injured. We need to remove the rotten flesh first and then bandage it. I have to go to the pharmacy to get medicine for your brother-in-law and Sun Chu after we set off tomorrow morning. Please tell Han Chong."
"Okay, it's late, go to bed."
***
A quarter of an hour ago, in the capital.
Xie Yi, the Imperial Observatory's officer who was resting, felt that something big was happening and woke up immediately.
He immediately went out to observe the stars at night.
Suddenly, a new star appeared in the north, rivaling the crescent moon in brightness.
Flash by.
"The star general appears in the world, in charge of the seven killers, and in control of the power of life and death."
After saying that, Xie Yi looked in the direction of the Qin family with a faint smile between his brows.
"Disciple, did you see me leaving the capital?"
He returned to his room to write a memorial, called his disciple and asked him to present it to the emperor immediately.
He kept the matter of the Emperor Star a secret.
If the general does not harm the overall situation, he must tell the emperor.
The memorial soon fell into the hands of Eunuch De.
When Eunuch De looked at the words "The star general appears in the north", his brows slightly frowned.
"Why North?"
Northwest is also north, he doesn’t want Qi Yanzhou to be a star general!
Thinking of this, he called Shuangxi, the eunuch who served him personally, and handed him the memorial.
"Go check this general star."
As soon as he finished speaking, another trusted eunuch of Eunuch De, Xiao Zhuzi, rushed into the brightly lit bedroom.
"Great Eunuch, the urgent memorial sent from Liangzhou City over a distance of 800 miles was personally presented to the Emperor by the Dragon Guards."
