The broker laughed loudly, "Of course it's true, otherwise how could we lie to you? We bought all of this place to cheat people like you who have money but are stupid."
An Shuyi nodded. "It seems you've fooled quite a few people. Besides you, are there any others? Or is it just the few of you?"
"Don't worry, there are only so many of us, but we're enough to fool you."
"Great, that puts my mind at ease."
Zhao the broker said, "Since you're comfortable with this, then hurry up and hand over the silver notes, and we'll let you leave."
An Shuyi smiled. It seemed they thought she had brought banknotes instead of silver. But it didn't matter, because none of that mattered.
"The silver is in the carriage. Go and get it yourselves if you want it." He then glanced back at the carriage.
"Brother, is what this shrew is saying true?!"
The broker glared at him. "Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you go and see for yourself. Hurry up and go get the money." Once you have it, you can deal with this woman.
Before her underlings could even get there, the broker himself went over to check if there was really silver in the carriage. Seeing his unguarded look, An Shuyi's lips curled up. As the broker approached, she turned around, grabbed his head with one hand, and then slashed her neck with a sharp knife. A second later, blood spurted out.
Everyone else was stunned by what they saw, never expecting that this lamb to the slaughter would actually have the ability to resist.
An Shuyi pushed the corpse away, sending it crashing to the ground and kicking up dust. She smiled sweetly, "Didn't you want the silver? Why don't you come and get it?"
"Since you won't come over, then I'll go over there myself." With that, his face darkened, and he walked towards the group, brandishing his knife, kicking, and twisting their necks. Soon, they were all knocked to the ground.
“You want to steal my silver, that’s fine, after all, everyone is greedy. But what I hate most is being called stupid, and you’ve said it more than once.”
Turning to look at Zhao, the broker, she said, "Can you tell me when you first set your sights on me? Was it when we first met?"
Zhao Hui nodded, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again. It was all my brother's idea, no, it was that man's idea. It has nothing to do with me."
An Shuyi looked at him and kicked him, saying, "I didn't ask anything else. Just answer whatever I ask. Tell me, when did you start trying to steal my money? How many times have you done this?"
"I said, don't hit me!" Zhao Yahui said pitifully. "When you came that day, they already wanted to rob you of your money. We... no, they've done this many times. Anyone who comes alone gets robbed."
"Sister-in-law, please let us go. We have elderly parents and young children to support. You don't want to be implicated in the deaths of several people and end up in jail. If you let us go, we'll pretend that nothing happened today, and we can even dispose of Brother Leopard's body so that no one will find out."
The henchman lying on the ground also said, "Yes, as long as you release us, we can give you the land deeds for these two estates."
"What a pity. I'm not as kind as you think. 'To nip it in the bud and eliminate it completely' is my motto. If I just let you go like this, how am I supposed to survive in the martial world? You'd better pray that you're reborn into a better life next time. Of course, most importantly, don't run into me."
After An Shuyi finished speaking, she slashed Zhao Yakui's neck in his horrified gaze. The others tried to escape, but they were too badly injured and could only crawl forward. However, they hadn't crawled far before their necks were cut off.
"Honestly, why did she have to rob someone? Now I have to clean up the mess." She's not some weak woman; if she didn't have some skills, how could she have come alone?
Of course, she didn't expect the broker to be involved in this robbery. She thought there was a real estate for sale, so she brought all the silver with her, thinking that if it wasn't enough, she could go back and get more.
Ultimately, they underestimated her. They thought that with more than ten people, they could rob her. However, they had a large number of people, but none of them knew any martial arts. The people who were robbed before were probably outnumbered and couldn't fight back.
They took out the land deed from the broker's arms and examined it. It really was the land deed for this estate. There was another land deed, which was some distance away from here, and it showed how many acres it was. They searched all the corpses and found sixteen one-hundred-tael silver notes and some loose silver.
Put the two land deeds in the box used to store land deeds in the warehouse, and also put the silver notes in the warehouse, taking up one slot. Put the silver in the warehouse, and take out all the silver that was previously there. Jump onto the carriage and put the box containing the silver back in the warehouse.
Then they picked up those broadswords. They were really good swords, eleven in total. Now they didn't have to worry about not having any swords to use. She and Hua Hua had been using daggers, which were also useful, but when there were many people, it was still more satisfying to chop with broadswords. Finally, they carried the corpses and threw them into the broker's carriage.
She was very satisfied to have acquired these two estates without spending any money. Although she had to deal with the corpses, the benefits were plentiful enough that she could do so frequently. Unfortunately, she couldn't find the land deed for the 200-acre estate on Zhao the broker.
However, one should learn to be content with what one has. It's good enough that she can get two estates without spending any money. She shouldn't be greedy. After cleaning up the body, she will go to the government office to change the names of the estate deeds to hers and Huahua's, so as not to cause any unforeseen problems.
Although she had asked the broker if there were any other people involved, and he said no, she couldn't let her guard down. However, whether they had bought the estate or stolen it was still unknown. But once the land deed was changed, it would be hers, and even the Heavenly King himself couldn't change that.
This was probably the place they often robbed. There was no one there. After they had moved all the bodies into the carriage, tied up their horses, covered the blood on the ground with mud, and made sure that no one could tell that someone had died there, they jumped into the gang's carriage and drove away.
Looking at the hillside ahead, I realized I wasn't mistaken. On the official road from Jinnan City to Huatian City, there was a small path leading to a hillside. Since it was impossible to find a good place to dump the body now, I could only leave it here.
She untied the horse and tied it to a tree. The carriage was already at the edge of the hillside. After glancing around to make sure there were no problems, she pushed the carriage down the hill. The carriage rolled down the hillside, and the body rolled out as well, but she didn't care. She untied the horse's rope, mounted it, and rode away.
After returning to the village, she dismounted, tied the rope to the back of the carriage, and then jumped back on to drive away. She didn't go to register the horse's ownership, planning to do so the next day. She drove the carriage back to the village, pulling another horse behind it.
She had barely reached the village entrance when villagers approached her. "Wenfeng, take the horse behind the carriage and feed it some fodder." With the horse following behind, she couldn't walk too fast, and it was already getting dark.
