Ah Qiu picked up Wu Ji's collar with one hand and gave Mingruo a naive smile: "It has stopped. I will take her down immediately."
"Go." Mingruo's eyelids twitched, but Aqiu handled things as straightforwardly as ever.
With the help of Linglong, the secret guards quickly cleared the Qingniu Mountain Wu Village. They also rescued a group of teenagers who had been captured as 'materials' for corpse poison, including the orphans Qin Mo was looking for.
Qin Mo was right. The two teenagers led the secret guards. Not only did they destroy the blood pool and poison cave used for refining corpse poison, they also found the basement where Witch Ji stored gold, silver, and silk.
Fifteen was quite surprised when he saw the considerable amount of property in the warehouse. Who would have thought that such a fortune could be hidden in this shabby village.
Shi Fifteen quickly reported to His Majesty the Emperor Yun: "There are a lot of silver coins stored in the basement, as well as boxes of jewelry and antiques. Please tell me how to deal with these money and silk."
Si Haochen knew that his wife liked to draw small coins into the space, so he turned his head and looked at Ming Ruo: "Ruo'er will handle it."
"Okay." Mingruo was still thinking about how to resettle the rescued people just now. This will be easier with money. "We will count the survivors and give them fifty taels each to facilitate their return to their hometowns. Those who were seriously injured will
, according to the severity of the injury, an additional 350 taels will be added as compensation as appropriate.
The remaining money will be sealed first, and then the identities of the victims will be verified and distributed to their families as pensions."
"Yes." Shiwu took the order and left.
Mingruo has lived in the Shenhua Continent for so long, and finally has a basic understanding of ancient commodity prices. Fifty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend for several years. But she doesn't know whether the wealth Wu Ji saves is enough to compensate for her harm.
people.
Chu Chenzhou led his people to search the entire village and came back to report: "Everyone in the village has been brought under control. My subordinates thought they would escort the prisoners back and interrogate them carefully later."
"Correct." Si Haochen nodded.
"Master, the woman in black who was serving in front of Wu Ji is missing." Chu Yi felt that the woman should know a lot of things, so he searched carefully, but found no trace of her.#@$&
"Wizi has been in this mountain for a long time. She must have built a secret tunnel." Si Haochen didn't care much about someone escaping. Anyway, he had caught Wu Ji. With Chu Chenzhou's interrogation methods and Linglong's assistance, he
He will definitely be able to interrogate what he wants to know, "Don't worry about her, find the secret passage first, and then arrange for someone to send the victim out of the mountain."
"I obey my orders."
On the first day of the new year, a signal was sent to send more manpower, and he personally led people to search for the secret passage. Sure enough, under the Witch Queen's dormitory, a secret passage leading to the outside of the mountain was discovered.
Night falls, and the bright moon like a silver plate hangs high in the sky.
After a fierce battle at night, Huangfu forced Huangfu Xiong to the top of Mangshan Mountain. There was a large Tianchi on the top of the mountain, which reflected the moonlight and made the surrounding area particularly bright.%&(&
Huangfu Ye's martial arts skills were originally far superior to Huangfu Xiong's, but unfortunately his injuries had not yet healed. If he hadn't taken every opportunity to use the elixir given by his master, Huangfu Xiong would have escaped long ago.
Huangfu Ye whipped his long whip and wrapped it around Huangfu Xiong's neck: "Where is the Gu army hiding?"
"Who are you to hide in a tree and watch my master lively?" Huangfu Xiong did not look at Huangfu Ye, but looked at a parasol tree on the side.
Huangfuye thought Huangfuxiong was deceiving and wanted to take advantage of his distraction to escape. Therefore, he remained unmoved.
The young man sat leisurely on the tree trunk, his body shrouded by the huge canopy. He was dressed in black clothes, with a face like a crown jewel and handsome eyebrows. His hair was tied up high with a red hairband. The hairband was very delicate and ended with
Tassels, and a pair of gold beads in the shape of lotus flowers.
"Eternal Night City, Golden Tower, Greedy Wolf." The young man changed his posture to support his head with one hand and leaned against the tree trunk.
There was a third person's voice here. Huangfu Ye was so immersed in fighting that he didn't notice it. Due to nervousness, the whip in his hand suddenly tightened, causing Huangfu Xiong's face to turn purple.
"If you strangle him again, his head and neck will be separated." Tanlang said in a joking tone, looking like he was watching a good show.
Huangfu Xiong was overjoyed when he heard Tan Lang announcing his name. He had been working in the Four Kingdoms for several years and knew that although Jinlou was a killer organization, it had also taken on business in recent years to protect the safety of its employers. Huangfu Xiong also received news from Wu Village, saying that
Reinforcements have been sent. As long as he can wait for the reinforcements, he will not fall into the hands of Huangfuye.
Moreover, Tanlang is the owner of Jinlou, and his martial arts are unfathomable. If he joins forces with him, he can not only escape, but even fight back!
To track down the hiding place of the Gu army, Huangfu Xiong could not die. Huangfu Ye had to loosen his whip a little, not only paying attention to Huangfu Xiong's every move, but also having to beware of Greedy Wolf.
Huangfu Xiong held the long whip with his hand, pulled his neck and shouted: "I will pay you one hundred thousand taels, please save my life!"
Greedy Wolf took his time and fiddled with the tassel hanging on the hilt of the sword: "I want to hire the owner of this building for only one hundred thousand taels. Do you have any misunderstanding about Jinlou?"
"Two hundred thousand taels!" Huangfu Xiong couldn't be stingy with his bid when his life was at stake.
Greedy Wolf jumped down from the tree crown: "Two hundred thousand taels can only hire the owner for one day!"
"What are you..." Huangfu Xiong glared angrily, this was simply raising prices from the ground up.
"Do you want to buy this young master or not?" Tanlang asked patiently.
"I want his life, 400,000 taels!" Huangfu Ye readily bid.
In Huangfuye's view, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. He even doubled the money and joked: "It seems that you feel that you are not worth two hundred thousand taels..."
When Greedy Wolf heard the quotation of 400,000 taels, he immediately turned to Huangfu Ye with a smile: "Forty thousand taels can buy the whole body, and you need to pay extra for mincing it into pieces."
Huangfu Xiong's hair stood up when he heard this: "In business, it's first come, first served. For five hundred thousand taels, I would like to ask the host to protect me for the whole day."
"Six hundred thousand taels." Huangfu Ye was very tired from chasing Huangfu Xiong all day long, and now he just wanted to spend money to become a master.
Even the greedy wolf wants to give Huangfuye a blank look. The Queen's disciple is also a prodigal.
But his face showed the expressionless look of a killer: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I will pay a deposit of 250,000 taels, and I will take over as the owner."
Huangfuxiong, who thought he would be rescued soon, saw a black eye. Let alone the two hundred and fifty thousand taels, he couldn't even get out the twenty-five thousand taels now - who can carry hundreds of thousands of taels in banknotes? (
Ranyi scratched his chin: Ahem, His Majesty Yunhuang and the Queen have more money than this!)
Huangfu Xiong gritted his teeth and took out a blood jade token from his waistband: "This is the tiger talisman to command the Gu army. When we leave Mangshan, I will bring 500,000 taels to redeem it!"
Even though they were some distance away, Huangfuye and Tanlang could smell the bloody smell emanating from the tiger talisman.
