Chapter 172 All gone
After asking carefully, Shen Yiyi and the others realized that these people all came from well-off families and were abducted to the mountains by these bandits when they were passing by here.
Not only were their personal belongings robbed, but their relatives were also killed. After listening to them talk about the torture methods used by those bandits, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have let them die so easily." Shen Yiyi's eyes widened with anger.
If I had known that these bandits were so cruel, I would have given them different medicines and let them experience what it feels like to live a life worse than death.
"Is there no one guarding here?" Shang Zhanchen looked at the people in front of him and then looked at the surrounding environment.
According to what they said, there has always been someone watching here, but they didn't see anyone since they came in, which felt a bit strange.
“Originally there were, but I heard them say that a big event was going to be held today, and everyone who participated would receive a share of Changyin.
I think they all went there for the money." A woman wiped her tears.
It was obvious that he still hadn't recovered from his grief. When I delivered food to the bandits, I heard that they were going to do something big today.
Anyone who participated would receive a reward, and the bandits even said with a smile that they all wanted to participate.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen didn’t say a word.
They are really out in full force, it seems they are determined to kill me.
I took a look at the people in front of me. Although their clothes were worn out, I could tell that the materials were not cheap.
"You can go home now." He said, looking at Shen Yiyi again.
"Give them some money for their journey."
These people's belongings had been robbed by bandits, so they couldn't have any money on them. So we thought of giving them some money for their journey so that they could return home safely.
Shen Yiyi, who was watching the excitement, was stunned after hearing the man's words.
"Huh? Travel money!" She was a little confused and didn't quite understand what the man meant, so Jiang Zuo gave her a hint.
"Miss, they are penniless, but you still have a lot of money."
As Jiang Zuo spoke, he pointed at the purse that Shen Yiyi was still holding. He wanted to laugh, but had to hold it back.
“……………………”Shen Yiyi.
He glared at the man with dissatisfaction. How dare this guy to covet her money? Just as he was about to retort him, Jiang Zuo on the side took over the conversation.
"Miss, their belongings were robbed by those bandits." After saying that, he took another look at Shen Yiyi's purse.
The meaning is very clear, maybe these things belong to someone else.
“……………………”Shen Yiyi’s face was filled with black lines.
Even though he was gritting his teeth with anger, he still pulled out the purse and reached into it to take out the silver.
Xiao Jiang was right. Maybe the money also belonged to them. Since they were penniless now, they might as well give them some.
I am not so cruel as to let them go down the mountain penniless. If they starve to death on the way, I will become a sinner.
Seeing the woman reluctantly taking out change, Shang Zhanchen frowned.
"Give them five hundred taels each." His tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
I think the things they were robbed of should be more than five hundred taels, but there is no time to count them now.
I thought of giving them 500 taels each, so that they could return safely even if their homes were too far away.
For those who get more, it can be regarded as compensation for their deceased relatives, and special cases can only be treated specially.
Shen Yiyi, who was just about to take out change with a painful heart, was so shocked after hearing the man's words that the silver in her hand fell to the ground.
"What? Five hundred taels!" She looked at the man in surprise, wishing she could knock him out.
As soon as the upper lip touched the lower lip, five hundred taels of silver was lost. It turned out that the money was not his. If I gave them five hundred taels of silver each.
How much can I have left? If I don’t handle it well, I may not win. It took me a lot of effort to collect all this.
Seeing the Crown Princess's reluctance, Jiang Zuo came closer and tried to persuade her in a low voice.
"Miss, these people lost their relatives and were robbed of their money. They are so pitiful. If you give them too little, they may not be able to reach their homes. Please give them more."
"That, that's too much." Shen Yiyi pouted.
He held the purse tightly, obviously not wanting to take the money. There were at least twenty people in front of him.
If we give five hundred taels to each person, then the money will not be given in vain.
"Miss, maybe the money belongs to someone else, and we are just paying it back to them." Jiang Zuo continued to persuade her while holding back his laughter.
It is really not easy to get money from the Crown Princess.
“……………………”Shen Yiyi didn’t say a word.
I looked at my wallet again. Although I felt unhappy, I knew that what Mr. Jiang said was right.
The money in this bandit's den didn't come easily. Maybe they robbed it from these people.
Although he was reluctant, he still took out the silver bills and distributed them one by one.
After the distribution was completed, I felt completely relieved. For twenty-two people, that was exactly 11,000 taels of silver.
Looking at the less than ten taels of silver in the bag, Shen Yiyi's heart was bleeding.
"……………………"
I went to such great lengths to find her. It turns out she was just providing services to other people, and that bastard was paying her according to the money I earned.
He didn't even leave her a banknote. She felt very upset, but everyone in front of her was very happy.
They all kowtowed to Shang Zhanchen in gratitude.
"Thank you very much, benefactor. I will never forget your kindness."
They kowtowed their heads loudly, clutched the silver bills in their hands, and their eyes were red with excitement.
I thought I would never be able to leave here alive in this lifetime, I never thought there would be a day when I could leave here alive.
When she thought of the tragic deaths of her relatives at home, she felt extremely sad. Seeing them leave with many thanks, Shen Yiyi pouted and glared at the man.
"Now you are happy."
The money that people had worked so hard to find was given away by just one sentence from him. He looked at the purse in his hand again.
Apart from some small items, there were only a few taels of loose silver, and I felt so depressed.
"That's not your money." Shang Zhanchen looked at Shen Yiyi with dissatisfaction. That money was not hers in the first place.
"Of course not! I was the one who gave me the change, it's just......"
Shen Yiyi was really angry. She stiffened her neck and glared at the man in dissatisfaction. Just when she was about to vent her anger on him, she heard Han Chun's surprised voice.
"That room is so weird."
"Yeah!" Shen Yiyi turned around.
Looking in the direction of Han Chun's finger, I saw that the house opposite was locked with a big lock, which made people feel that there were good things hidden inside.
This time she ignored the man and rushed over.
"Go and see."
The doors of all the rooms here were not locked, except for that one room, which was locked. And it was such a big lock, it was obvious that there was something strange inside.
When he came up and looked at the big lock in front of him, which was quite large, he became more convinced that there must be something good inside. He looked at Han Chun beside him with a smile.
"Get it out of the way."
