Chapter 29 One thousand taels of silver

Her powers have not yet fully recovered. Now, except for some boxing skills and simple ability to visit patients, she has no internal strength, so she cannot listen in all directions like a man.

"It should be over there." The man pointed ahead.

Following his finger, Chu Wanying could only see a forest.

"How did you decide this?"

In her eyes, they are all obviously the same!

The man didn't answer her, but just said to the two horses, "You guys stay here and don't move."

The two old horses were really obedient and stayed there motionless.

Chu Wanying had to admit that Rong Zhan still had some talent in horse training.

The man led the way, and she followed closely.

The woods are full of dead trees, so there is really no shielding effect.

Therefore, they both walked very cautiously, for fear of encountering bandits.

Suddenly, a roar came from the front. Startled, the birds on the tree fled in all directions.

Chu Wanying was no stranger to this voice, and her eyes darkened a little.

Rong Zhan wore the sword she had given him before on his side, and she silently took out the long whip wrapped around her waist.

This time with all the equipment, Chu Wanying felt confident that she could win with one blow.

Rong Zhan also planned this, so before giving her a chance to react, he quickly jumped out and jumped on the tiger's back. The beast didn't notice and called out "ouch" several times.

He strangled the tiger's neck with one hand and thrust the sword directly through its throat with the other hand.

The whole movement is smooth and fluid, not only fast, but also very pleasing to the eye.

Chu Wanying was so shocked that she could only clap her hands and cheer.

The whole process ended so quickly that she didn't have a chance to express herself!

The man stayed on the tiger's back for a while, until he was sure that the other party had completely breathed his last. Then he raised his eyes and said to her, "Go and take a look at the front, I will solve it."

After saying this, he took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed the beast.

Chu Wanying was shocked and shouted directly, "Wait!"

The man looked over in confusion, and she smiled, "Wouldn't it be too cruel to do this? How about we take its whole body back?"

The man raised his eyebrows, as if he thought she was joking, "Excuse me, how are you going to move it?"

Chu Wanying really couldn't tell him directly that there was a wooden cart in her space. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of an excuse, so she had to say casually, "We can put it away first and look ahead in case we find it."

The cliff, and then found the Xu family’s carriage and so on!”

Her plan was that if it didn't work out, she would take the cart out of the space while the man was not paying attention, and say that she found it accidentally and it should be the cart left by the Xu family.

The girl was just talking nonsense, but she never expected that the man actually stopped and said, "What you said makes sense. If the whole tiger body is sold, the price can be higher. Then do what you want!"

He thought she wanted to sell the tiger at a high price, but in fact she couldn't bear to see a handsome and elegant young man turn into a cold-blooded butcher.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that he shouldn't be like this.

The two continued to move forward, passing through the woods, and found an open space. As far as the eye could see, there was a steep cliff in the distance.

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the entire open space in a crimson color.

Chu Wanying was stunned for a moment until the man spoke and woke her up.

"This is where the Xu family was probably thrown."

Rong Zhan looked around and concluded.

Chu Wanying didn't have a good sense of direction, so she didn't dare to say anything and just nodded.

"Then how are we going to get down?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward. If she wasn't careful, she almost tripped.

Fortunately, the man next to her reached out in time to help her, and she was able to stabilize her body.

"Eh?" She kicked the "stumbling block" that almost ruined her face just now, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be a box.

I opened it and flipped through it, and found some books and the Four Treasures of the Study. When I saw the inscriptions on the calligraphy treasures, I knew that these were Xu Zhengqing's things!

Rong Zhan whispered, "I don't know why the bandits didn't take the things away, just in case. We can't use fire to break things, we can only search quietly. You stay here, I'll go over there and take a look."

Chu Wanying nodded, and the two of them divided the work and cooperated. After about half an hour, they threw all the things they found in the open space.

In addition to five or six boxes, she actually found a wooden cart!

Chu Wanying felt happy, it was simply God helping her!

But I am still happy, and I still have to do serious things.

"Didn't you say that it was bandits who did it? Don't they all steal money?" She opened all the boxes, which contained banknotes, clothes, pots and pans and other daily necessities.

A rough estimate shows that all the belongings of the Xu family of five should be here.

Rong Zhan secretly thought that the presence of all the things provided more proof that the murder of the Xu family was not accidental.

But what they want is still a mystery.

The girl obviously had the same idea as him, and said bluntly, "This gangster's behavior is really strange. Even if he is just pretending, he should have taken away all the things, or even thrown the bodies down. The purpose of leaving these things is

what?"

Chu Wanying didn't understand, very much.

Such an error-ridden approach is simply not what ordinary people do!

She guessed that this person was either an idiot or a murderer.

Or maybe another accident occurred during the murder, forcing him to stop and leave, and deal with these things later.

Rong Zhan prefers the latter, "I guess they deliberately spread the word that bandits did it, so that the surrounding villagers would not dare to come over, so they dared to put the things here with confidence."

Chu Wanying agreed deeply, and then squatted down and counted the banknotes. There were almost a thousand taels!

"The Xu family really has some savings!" She sighed.

If these one thousand taels are spent sparingly, according to the price of goods in the Yan Kingdom, even if you spend 20 taels a year, you can spend fifty years!

It is enough to ensure that their family will live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

She was amazed in her heart. The man on the other side was still looking through other boxes, but found nothing.

She stuffed the banknotes into her arms, quietly took out a sword from the space, and searched for it on the ground.

"Bang bang bang".

A sound similar to the collision of metal made her alert.

He slapped it again with the hilt of the sword, and there was another "bang" sound.

Chu Wanying quietly took out the fire certificate and opened it. There was something like a waist badge on the ground. She picked it up and showed it to Rong Zhan.

Rong Zhan only glanced at it, his expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly took it over.

Chu Wanying recognized the word on it, which was the character "chen", with a dragon logo on the back.

She had seen something similar on TV in her previous life. It must have been a badge of some high-ranking official.

What's more, maybe they are relatives of the emperor!

But how could a waist card appear in a place like this?

Looking at the man's expression, he seemed to be even more surprised than she was. Presumably he also knew the importance of this thing.

Chu Wanying was a little confused for a moment. As a civilian, should Rong Zhan know such a thing?
