Song Wan listened to every word and began to get ready.
It seems that she just emptied out the mansion and that was a bargain for this person. He actually wanted to kill all her team members and leave her as a captain without any troops!
The secret guard felt bitter, but he still gritted his teeth and accepted the mission, "I will definitely complete the mission!"
Yao Xu felt better now. He was thinking that if he could solve the problems of the Song and Gu families, would the emperor forgive him for losing the boy from the Qi family in recognition of his contribution?
"Master..." After receiving the task, the secret guard still knelt on the ground and did not stand up, as if there was something else he wanted to say.
"What's the matter?" Yao Xu saw the hesitant faces of the people below, and his heart was inexplicably blocked. He always felt that nothing good was going to happen.
"Although the journey to Guizhou is not far, brothers..." The secret guard was embarrassed to say the whole story, he hoped that his master could understand what he meant.
They were all a group of desperate criminals. After becoming secret guards, they didn't know when they would die, so they had no habit of saving money and spent whatever they had.
Yao Xu understood everything, and because he understood it too well, he became even more upset. It all came down to money.
The money he had saved for several years turned into a pile of broken wood in one day. He really hated that thief!
"I'll let Butler Zhang find a way to deal with the money. You don't have to go to Qian for now. We'll talk about it when we have the money!" Yao Xu said this after a long time.
Fortunately, he still has two shops and three farms in Luzhou, and the harvest is pretty good every year. Butler Zhang has already driven there and I believe he will be able to bring back money in a few days.
Now that he has no money, he can't even kill a few people. Yao Xu has never felt so aggrieved in his life.
Hearing that there was still silver, Song Wan restrained the murderous aura that he had just released and listened to Yao Xu saying that he still had silver hidden outside.
Well, then don’t kill him for now.
Moving the silver back and forth is still too slow. It is best to wait at home for someone to deliver the silver.
However, although people cannot be killed for the time being, it is still possible to scare them. As long as they can speak without dying, that's fine.
Song Wan changed her plan temporarily. She waited until the secret guards inside had gone far away before she slowly came out and pushed the door openly.
Yao Xu heard the door open behind him and shouted without thinking, "Li Hu! When did you become so rude?"
She actually dared to come into his study without knocking. Doesn't she have any sense of hierarchy between master and servant?
Li Hu?
Song Wan paused and turned his head. It should be the secret guard who had just left.
Before she came in, Yao Xu was fiddling with the inconspicuous little mechanism at the bottom of the desk. He had previously hidden five thousand taels of silver notes in it, intending that in case of any unexpected events in the future, these five thousand taels would be his retreat.
So he designed this small mechanism to be very complicated, and it requires several steps to actually open it.
Just now when the secret guard was here, he was so angry that he fainted and almost forgot about the banknotes here.
Song Wan didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. She was busy moving silver and jewelry and didn't pay attention to the silver bills embedded in the table.
Although she is rich now, a fly is still meat no matter how small it is.
The mechanism was complicated and Yao Xu fiddled with it for a long time before he successfully took out the banknote. Before the smile on his face could fully unfold, a hand suddenly appeared from behind him and snatched the banknote away from him when he was not paying attention.
Yao Xu was furious. "Li Hu!"
"Who is Li Hu calling?" Holding the light silver bill in his hand, Song Wan felt that silver was more real.
From ancient times to the present, no matter what era, gold and silver have always been hard currency.
Yao Xu finally realized something was wrong. The person behind him was not the secret guard Li Hu!
He turned around in panic. The other person had his face covered and he could only see a pair of eyes staring at him.
"Who are you?!"
Song Wan found that she hadn't done anything yet, but the other person was already trembling with fear and sweating profusely. Was she really that scary?
"You're the one who messed with the silver in my house! Right?" Yao Xu finally reacted now. Who else could appear in his study quietly except the silver thief!
"It's me!" There is nothing wrong with admitting it, Song Wan dares to take responsibility for it.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"It's not certain who will kill whom now." After saying that, Song Wan threw out a mental force, and the man who was originally angry suddenly became dazed.
"Take off your clothes yourself." Song Wan ordered.
Yao Xu began to take off his clothes with a blank look in his eyes, from the outer robe to the middle garment, until he was left with only his inner garment. Song Wan then turned around and left to find Gu Yan, urgently asking him to get the man down.
Gu Yan stayed on the roof anxiously for a long time, but did not hear any movement from below. Although he knew that Song Wan was very powerful and had some so-called mental power to protect his body, he was still a little worried that something might happen.
Just as he was about to go down to take a look, Song Wan suddenly jumped up and whispered mysteriously in his ear, "Let's not kill Yao Xu yet. I've thought of something more interesting."
She suddenly came over, and Gu Yan, who was unprepared, was so anxious that his mind went blank. He didn't remember what she said at all, and could only nod stiffly.
Maybe it was because she ate too many pastries. When Song Wan approached, Gu Yanji smelled several faint sweet scents from her.
Just like that, Song Wan pulled Gu Yanji, who was also a little dazed, and the recently dead body that had been dealt with not long ago into the study.
Yao Xu had already taken off his top and was taking off his socks. Gu Yan was so anxious that she didn't expect that Yao Xu would be scared by her and actually started taking off his clothes.
He quickly blocked Song Wan and prevented her from looking at Yao Xu.
No matter how tough she is, she is still a girl. How can she look at a man's body casually, even if the man is ugly and old?
Gu Yan was not wrong to be anxious. At Yao Xu's age, if he had more sons, he might even become a grandfather. But he would still be old and ugly.
"Don't worry, I won't look." Song Wan didn't expect that his teammate was so considerate. A guy like Yao Xu who has no figure is really not worth looking at.
In the end times, human body functions have mutated, and children in their early teens can have six or seven beautiful and firm abdominal muscles.
In the apocalypse, she could knock out any middle-aged, shabby man with a small belly like Yao Xu with just one punch.
Gu Yan's anxious heart slowly calmed down, but he was puzzled by Yao Xu's strange behavior. "Why did he take off his clothes by himself? Did you do that?"
"Yes, throw this thing with a broken neck on him later." Song Wan felt that she had taken off most of her clothes, so she left only a pair of underwear on him.
Gu Yan looked at this scene anxiously, feeling helpless but also a little amused. He didn't know whether Song Wan had this idea after going to Chunfeng Tower.
Looking at Yao Xu lying on the ground with only his underwear left, Gu Yan said anxiously that no matter what A Wan said, he would never take her to a place like Chunfeng Tower again.
In order to cover up the white flesh on the ground, Gu Yanji did not hesitate and used the sword he carried with him to pick up the clothes on the dead man, doing something similar to what Song Wan had done before.
However, he did not do it as thoroughly as Song Wan in the end. The dead man lying on Yao Xu still had his underwear on.
After doing all this, Song Wan was in high spirits. He took five thousand taels of silver notes and pulled Gu Yan to catch up with the main force.
Before leaving, Gu Yan hurriedly asked her to take back the mental power left in Yao Xu, saying that there was no reason to waste such a good thing on a bad person.
Song Wan originally wanted to control the time when Yao Xu woke up, but after hearing Gu Yanji's words, she suddenly felt that it made sense. All this mental power was absorbed back by her with great effort, but if she didn't control it, what if Yao Xu woke up early?
But Gu Yan immediately said that he knew some sleeping skills and could ensure that Yao Xu would not wake up within two hours.
When Song Wan heard this, her eyes lit up. Two hours was enough for the concubines and secret guards in Yao Xu's mansion to notice something was wrong.
So without thinking for too long, Song Wan took back the trace of mental power left in Yao Xu's body, and asked Gu Yan to quickly give him a sleeping spell.
After this trip, Song Wan discovered that Gu Yanji was a careful and thoughtful person. More importantly, he would save her mental energy, which made her patience with him worthwhile.
Before leaving the city gate, Song Wan went to the wonton shop again and packed two hundred raw wontons, intending to eat them on the road.
Mrs. Zhang felt that it was a good thing that the prefect's mansion was robbed, as it brought good fortune to the family.
Not to mention the twenty-two large silver ingots that suddenly appeared at night, a big customer came as soon as the shop opened early in the morning.
Could it be that the prefect had offended the people of Xinzhou? The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Just now, her younger sister from the countryside came over carrying a big bag, saying that the God of Wealth had appeared. Not only did the God of Wealth give her 20 taels of silver ingots, but she also had several pieces of good-quality cotton cloth and a lot of cakes at home.
My younger sister has few children, but she thought of Mrs. Zhang’s many grandchildren, so she packed up some of her family and came to the city.
Song Wan didn't know about these things. She was just happy that she had wontons to eat again. Two hundred wontons were barely enough for her to eat on the way. The main reason was that when she went there, the old lady in the wonton shop and her two daughters-in-law happened to make so many wontons.
As for Gu Yan's anxiety, she didn't forget it either. She bought a lot of sesame cakes from the stall next door and filled the bowl. As for the two wontons, if there was a chance, she would give him three or five to try.
Gu Yan was neither anxious nor annoyed. She happily took the sesame cake that Song Wan bought herself. If someone didn’t know, they would think it was some rare treasure.
The two men, who thought they could quickly catch up with the main force, rushed for fifty miles and found that the traces left by Song Qi and others had become very faint. It seemed that they were almost reaching Guizhou.
So Song Wan simply asked Gu Yan to slow down. After all, there were only two of them and seven empty carts, so there was no need to rush.
There were many barren mountains on the road, and maybe they could catch some wild animals to take back for a snack. But Song Wan always felt that he was at a disadvantage as he had to go back with seven empty cars.
Gu Yan naturally had no objection to being anxious, and what's more, he also wanted to spend some more time alone with her.
An hour later, Song Qi and others who had been traveling in a hurry finally returned to Guizhou. The silver was divided into two batches. Song Wan's share was led by Zhang Sheng, who took Song Qi and others to hide it.
Jiang Zhen was responsible for the remaining three carriages. Knowing that he would soon have the money to buy three carriages, Jiang Zhen was indeed very excited.
But when he really had it, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.
That's three carts of silver, no, two carts of silver and one cart of gold.
One cart of gold can be exchanged for several carts of silver. When Jiang Zhen thought of this, he almost couldn't stand.
It was Jiang Da who supported the old man and quickly told his second and third brothers to go find their mother, because only their mother could control their father at this time.
When Mrs. Wu was pulled out by her two sons, she was still holding an abacus in her hand. There was no other way. The family was too poor. A piece of silver had to be broken into eight petals. How could she not calculate carefully?
But what her two younger sons said when they came to pull her away almost made her drop her jaw. Her husband, who only had the power of force in his head, actually got the silver, and a three-horse carriage.
When Mrs. Wu saw the three carriages entering the mansion, her legs went weak and she had only one thought in her mind: No, this plan was not enough. She had to quickly ask her maid to buy a few more.
After she calmed down, she asked her husband with a trembling voice, "Did you get all these from Miss Song?"
Seeing his wife coming over, Jiang Zhen couldn't wait to share his joy with her. "Yes, I've never seen anyone as capable as Miss Song in my life. She moved as soon as she said she would! She's brave and decisive! She's quite capable!"
Mrs. Wu looked at the three carts of silver with her eyes shining, and she completely forgot to listen to what her husband said. She was thinking that she could add a meat dish to everyone in the mansion tonight. She had been eating vegetarian food for most of the year. If her hair had not been there, she would have thought she had become a nun.
"We're having meat tonight!" Wu decided immediately. "Servants, please add a meat dish too!"
It’s okay for them as masters not to eat meat, but the servants not only have to eat vegetarian food every day, but also have to run around to serve them.
It has been five years since they came to Guizhou, and the servants in the mansion have not received a single copper coin increase in their wages.
If she told others about it, Wu would be too embarrassed.
"Eat! Eat all!" Jiang Zhen laughed loudly. He also wanted meat.
Speaking of stewed meat, he suddenly remembered the potatoes that Miss Song had left behind, so he said to his wife, "Oh, Miss Song said that the potatoes and meat stew are delicious. Ask the kitchen staff to make it tonight!"
When Mrs. Wu first saw those things that looked like yellow mud lumps, she was still suspicious. She was afraid that her husband had been cheated.
Now, not to mention that it looks like a lump of yellow mud, even if it really is a lump of yellow mud, the whole family has to eat it.
Miss Song solved the problem that had troubled them for half a year with just one move, so what was the big deal about eating a few lumps of yellow mud?
Mrs. Wu decided to supervise the kitchen herself and asked the cook to peel and cut the yellow mud into pieces and put them into the braised pork that had been stewed until soft.
The cook in the mansion was one of Wu's dowries. She had excellent cooking skills and had been a cook for more than 20 years. She had never seen the kind of food that the lady asked her to cut.
The cook, who was always cautious, hesitated several times. What if this thing was poisonous? It would be fine to stew it alone. She could let the rhubarb raised in the mansion taste it and know the answer. She was mainly afraid of wasting the pot of meat.
It is not easy to stew meat in the mansion.
But before she could give Da Huang a taste, she was slapped in the face by the unique aroma.
