Chapter 171 Kitchen
Seeing the Crown Princess' serious expression, Jiang Zuo looked at him with amusement.
"Why?"
Upon hearing what Jiang Zuo said, Shen Yiyi immediately glared at him.
"Is there any need to ask? They are officials. If they knew about this money, they would definitely ask us to hand it over."
After Shen Yiyi finished speaking, she tied her purse again, lifted up her skirt and hid it inside her clothes. Then she gave Jiang Zuo a dissatisfied look.
"……………………"
Bai has been out there for so long, but he doesn't even understand this little thing. Boss Jiang and the others are employees.
In their eyes, this money is dirty silver and must be turned over to the national treasury, just like the two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry found in Xianxia Mountain last time.
Hasn't it been taken back by others? So this money must not be shown to the public, and they must not be made aware of this no matter what.
"Oh, okay." Jiang Zuo nodded and looked at Han Chun with a grin.
Our Crown Princess is really a money-grubber. Han Chun replied to Jiang Zuo, "You haven't seen how the Crown Princess searched just now."
Every nook and cranny in the house was searched, even the floor tiles were stepped on one by one, for fear that something might be hidden inside.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen didn’t say a word.
He still glared at Shen Yiyi with a bad look. Although he had gotten used to this woman's money-grubbing look, he still got angry when he looked at her.
Seeing that his master was glaring at the Crown Princess with a bad look again, Jiang Zuo quickly changed the subject for fear that the argument would resume.
"By the way, Miss, is there no one here?" Jiang Zuo looked around.
Although the main forces are at the foot of the mountain, it is impossible that there is no one there. But now it looks so quiet, as if there is really no one there.
After hearing what he said, Shen Yiyi shook her head.
"No."
She had previously thought that there must be at least a dozen or twenty people left on the mountain, but when she arrived and looked, there was no one.
They came out in full force. It seems they are determined to wipe out Boss Jiang and his men.
“……………………”Han Chun didn’t say anything.
Instead, he looked at Jiang Zuo and raised his chin towards the door behind him. He had just heard some movement from there.
But seeing that the Crown Princess was busy looking for money, he thought that even if he told her, she wouldn't care.
I also guessed that the master and his family would come, so I thought I would go and see after they arrived.
Following Han Chun's gaze, Jiang Zuo and Shang Zhanchen both looked over, looked at each other, and ran directly to the gate in front.
"Where are you going?" Shen Yiyi turned around and saw that they were all running in the same direction. She followed them, holding her purse.
When they entered through the gate, they discovered that there was another world inside, which turned out to be another courtyard.
Although it was not as large as the previous one, it was extremely well hidden, as if it had been artificially carved out of the side of the mountaintop.
I couldn't see much of the sky when I looked up. The light in the yard was very dim, and there were rooms of various sizes all around.
I didn't expect that there were so many houses here. Shen Yiyi kept looking around. Just as she was about to say something, she heard something like talking in the house in front.
"There seems to be someone over there?" She pointed to the house in front and it seemed like there were quite a few people talking inside.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen didn’t say a word.
I glanced at Shen Yiyi, and although I didn't say anything, my face showed, "Do you need me to tell you? We all heard it."
“……………………”Shen Yiyi.
She also rolled her eyes at the man in dissatisfaction. As soon as she saw his character, she knew that he had no good intentions in mind.
I was too lazy to pay attention to him and was about to rush over to take a look when I was stopped by Han Chun and Jiang Zuo.
"Miss, let's go and take a look first." Jiang Zuo stopped in front and ran straight over.
I don’t know what’s going on inside. What if there’s danger and the Crown Princess gets hurt?
Shen Yiyi did not refuse and followed Jiang Zuo and Han Chun, watching them open the door and stretching her neck to look inside.
"……………………"
It turned out that this was the kitchen, and it was quite big. Just as she was thinking about it, Shang Zhanchen also walked past her, and she hurriedly followed behind him.
"Who are you?" Jiang Zuo looked at the twenty or so men and several old women in front of him.
These people didn't know any martial arts and were wearing tattered clothes. Not only was there no murderous intent in their eyes, but they even looked timid.
They were obviously not the same as the bandits just now. Several handsome and well-mannered young masters and a beautiful girl in wedding dress came in.
Everyone in the room was stunned and looked at each other.
"……………………"
How could outsiders come in here? The bandits usually guard this place very closely, and they can't escape even if they want to.
Someone was able to come in at this time. Where did the bandits outside go? Suddenly, they remembered what they had to do today.
Everyone looked at each other again, with joy on their faces that was hard to conceal.
"How did you get in?" One of the men, who was in his twenties or thirties, looked at Jiang Zuo with surprise.
Since they can come in, don't they have a chance to run out as well?
"We walked in!" Shen Yiyi came over curiously and looked at the man in front of her. There was no point in asking this question.
However, Jiang Zuo had already guessed the reason.
"We have already wiped out the bandits here. I don't know who you are and why you are here."
When they heard that all the bandits here had been wiped out, everyone became excited, and several men quickly rushed to Jiang Zuo.
"You mean you killed all those bandits!" The man was so excited that his lips trembled slightly when he spoke.
"That's right." Han Chun looked at him. Seeing that they were so excited, it seemed that there was some hidden story.
After hearing his words, the men burst into laughter crazily.
“Hahahaha…dead, those bandits are finally dead!”
“……………………” Shen Yiyi was completely confused. How could she make them so happy?
"Please don't blame me, young masters. Their wives were killed by those bandits a few days ago. Many of our relatives were also killed by them." A woman staggered to the front.
Looking at Shang Zhanchen and Shen Yiyi, who were dressed in bright red wedding gowns, he knew they were the masters and knelt down immediately.
"Thank you very much, benefactor, for helping us kill those bandits." The old woman burst into tears.
Thinking of his wife and poor son, he burst into tears, and the others knelt down as well.
"Thank you very much for avenging us." Everyone's eyes were red.
Their family was considered to be well-off, but they were robbed by this group of bandits when they passed by this place. Not only did they take away all their belongings, but they also killed their relatives.
It is only because they know a little bit about cooking that they have managed to survive to this day. Now that they have heard that those bandits have been killed, they are so excited that they cannot express it in words.
He kept kowtowing to Shang Zhanchen and the others, thinking that he would never be able to leave Baihu Mountain for the rest of his life.
