Chapter 173 So Much Money
Looking at the big lock in front of her, Shen Yiyi became excited again and quickly stepped aside to let Han Chun open the lock.
The room was locked so tightly, there must be good things hidden inside. Han Chun did not hesitate and took out a thin iron skewer.
After inserting it into the keyhole and moving it a few times, the big lock was opened, and Shen Yiyi's eyes lit up.
"Great!" He gave her a thumbs up.
I thought this guy would break the lock with one palm, but I didn't expect he had this unique skill. What a talent.
"That's nothing." Han Chun smiled complacently.
As a secret guard, these little skills are essential, and Shen Yiyi doesn't have that much time to spend on him.
He threw the big lock aside and pushed the door to go in, but after pushing it several times, the door didn't open.
“Why can’t I push it open?” She looked at Han Chun for help.
Could it be that this door is broken? Why won’t it move even if I push it so hard? I was thinking to myself.
A slender hand appeared in front of him. Shang Zhanchen just used one finger and pushed gently, and the door in front of him slowly opened.
“……………………”Shen Yiyi.
It hurts your self-esteem so much!
I tried so hard but couldn't push the door open, but this guy pushed it open with just one finger.
It's not very harmful, but it's very insulting and hurts my heart.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen didn’t say a word.
Instead, he looked at Shen Yiyi with a smug look and walked straight in. His arrogant look made Shen Yiyi so angry that she jumped up and down behind him.
"What are you so proud of! If I hadn't cured you of the poison, would your inner power be so profound?"
Shen Yiyi kept gesturing towards the man's back, her face turning red with anger.
Look how proud he is. If I hadn't detoxified him, he would have gone to the King of Hell to have tea.
He felt sorry for still showing off in front of me. He was really heartless. Shang Zhanchen felt relieved after being yelled at.
He strode into the house, and when he saw the boxes of various sizes in front of him, the playful look on his face instantly disappeared.
At the same time, his face became increasingly cold.
"……………………"
Although I didn't see what was in the box, I had a rough idea of what was inside.
Most likely, these are all money. There is so much of it. One can imagine how many bad things these bandits have done.
So many people suffered and how many lives were lost. When I thought about the fact that the mastermind behind this was my second brother, I became even angrier.
As a prince, if you do not consider the suffering of the people and instead seek money and kill people, you are not worthy of being a descendant of the royal family.
Shen Yiyi came in with a pout and was also shocked by the boxes in front of her.
"There are so many boxes!" She pushed the man away and ran to the front.
He opened a small one directly, and saw the golden ingots inside, and his eyes almost popped out of his head in amazement.
"Wow~~~~~~~~They're all gold!" He took one and weighed it in his hand, then took a bite to try it.
He immediately smiled with his eyes curved into circles. These were all solid gold, and this one must weigh at least ten taels.
I looked at the boxes in front of me again. If they were all filled with this, how much would they cost?
He quickly ran to the side, and after struggling for a long time, he finally opened the box in front of him. He saw all kinds of glittering jewels inside, and he was so happy that his throat was opened.
"So many treasures!" He looked at the other boxes and turned to look at Jiang Zuo.
"Go and open all those." She wanted to see if the boxes were filled with these.
Jiang Zuo glanced at his master and, following the Crown Princess's instructions, opened the boxes.
Inside were either golden ingots or various precious jewellery shining with dazzling light, which made Shen Yiyi smile so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
“Hahahaha……………………it’s rich. This time we’re rich.”
Without saying a word, he opened his purse and stuffed gold ingots and jewelry into the purse.
Jiang Zuo and Han Chun's mouths twitched as they watched, and they glanced at their master out of the corner of their eyes. It was just as they thought.
The master was glaring at the Crown Princess with an unpleasant look at the moment. Fearing that the master could not help himself, Jiang Zuo hurriedly came to Shen Yiyi.
"Miss, it seems we can't take this money."
"Why can't I take it?" Shen Yiyi didn't even turn her head. As she spoke, she put gold ingots into the bag.
"These belong to the imperial court and should be turned over to the national treasury."
"No way!" Shen Yiyi glared at Jiang Zuo with dissatisfaction, and pointed at the boxes in front of them.
"These were stolen from the people by the bandits. What does this have to do with the imperial court? If I don't wipe out the bandits today,
Who knows how they will squander this money, and besides, I was the one who wiped out those bandits, so this money should be given to me."
As soon as Shen Yiyi finished speaking, she took out a few gold ingots and stuffed them into Jiang Zuo's hand.
"Hide quickly, or else when Boss Jiang and his men come, we won't be able to catch any of them."
After that, he took out a few more gold ingots and stuffed them into Shang Zhanchen and Han Chun's hands, and urged:
"Let's each hide some, quickly."
When Boss Jiang and his men arrive later, they will hand over the silver to the court as Xiao Jiang just said.
I have to hide more before he finds out. If they find out, I won’t get any of them.
“……………………”Jiang Zuo.
He looked at the gold ingots in his hand, then looked at his master whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, hesitated for a moment, and looked at the Crown Princess.
"Miss, this is not good. If Boss Jiang and the others see us...
Before Jiang Zuo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Yiyi.
"So what if I saw it? I deserve the money. Didn't you say before that the imperial court sent troops several times?
We failed to wipe out the bandits, but now I have destroyed their den, saving the court a lot of trouble.
Even if you want to reward me, you have to give me a box of gold." Shen Yiyi said as if it was a matter of course.
After saying that, he took out a few gold ingots and stuffed them into Han Chun's hand.
"We don't want all of them, so just take some and hide them quickly." After saying that, he stuffed a few gold ingots into Shang Zhanchen and Han Chun's hands.
We are not greedy, so each of us can just hide a few, and most of them will be left for them.
There will be many places to spend money in the future, so there is nothing wrong with having a little more money.
Jiang Zuo was completely speechless and looked at his master eagerly. There was nothing wrong with what the Crown Princess said.
The imperial court had sent troops several times but failed to wipe out this gang of bandits. Since the Crown Princess had made such a great contribution, it was understandable that she should be given some reward.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen’s face was full of black lines.
He glared at Shen Yiyi with dissatisfaction and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Yiyi before he could finish his words.
"What do you mean? Why don't you just stop moving? If that's the case, then everyone should just go their separate ways."
Shen Yiyi was really angry and was about to leave with the bag of money. Since no one listened to her, there was no need for them to stay together.
