Chapter 172: Dividing the Property
Chapter 172: Dividing the Property
The group of women were even more surprised when they heard this, and thought they had heard it wrong, but the two men did not give them a chance to ask questions and walked towards the Bama carriage in front of the village.
Wei Xiaohu was also surprised when he heard this, because when Ning Ji went to the dark room to move things in the morning, he also went to see it. There were quite a lot of things in the dark room. It was the treasure house of this bandit's den, and there were many good things.
His master had just carried two boxes of things into the carriage. He thought he would pick up the remaining things later, but he didn't expect his master to give all those things to these women?
When he heard his master's plan, he became jealous!
"Master, are you really going to give those things to them?" Wei Xiaohu bravely asked Si He.
Seeing his anxious look, Si He couldn't help but laugh, "You want it too?"
He felt a little embarrassed by her question. He glanced at Ning Ji and said, "After all, they were the bandits that the master wiped out..."
Si He thought for a moment and said, "If you want, go get some."
Since they are all gifts, it doesn't matter if he takes some. After all, he is one of us, and we can't treat him unfairly.
When Wei Xiaohu heard Si He's words, his eyes widened and he was a little excited. "Really?"
"Go ahead, hurry up and get ready to go."
As soon as Si He finished speaking, Ning Ji added, "Don't take anything big, it won't fit in the car."
The carriage was not big to begin with, and there were already two boxes and some luggage inside. It was already very crowded for her to sit in it, so naturally she didn't want him to add more things.
Wei Xiaohu quickly responded, "Thank you, Master. I understand."
After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and ran towards the meeting hall.
The women who were watching not far away saw what was happening and realized what was happening. They also ran towards the meeting hall, fearing that if they were slow, others would snatch away the good stuff.
A group of people rushed for food like hungry wolves.
After all, this is a piece of cake, and it also affects your future life security, so you can't be slow!
The group of people thought they could steal a lot of silver, but to their disappointment, there was not even a tael of silver in the bag. There were only some brocade cloth, jade, porcelain and silver items left.
However, this is also good. These things can be exchanged for a lot of silver.
So they all picked the expensive ones.
Wei Xiaohu took a few small but exquisite jade bottles and silver cups. The other items were too big, and the women following behind were also moving fast. It was considered lucky that he could grab a few valuable things first.
He stuffed all the things into his clothes, making them bulge out, and smiled happily. If he hadn't been concerned about Ning Ji, he might have taken some more.
"Stop pushing! You're squeezing me!"
"That's the silver pot I took first! Don't try to grab it! Let go!"
"I'm rich! I'm rich! This is mine, mine!"
"Who pulled my hair? Let go, hey! That's mine!"
"Ah! You stepped on me! Please make way and don't push over here!
……
In the dark room, there was chaos. A group of women were grabbing things excitedly, with greed and madness flashing in their eyes.
Before, they were all too weak, looking fragile and having difficulty walking, but now they burst out with powerful strength, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and no matter who they were, they would not give in at all.
Wei Xiaohu took his things and retreated, running out quickly. This group of women was too crazy. He was bumped several times and almost fell.
He breathed a sigh of relief after running out of the gate, and then ran happily towards the carriage.
If he sold these things, he should be able to get a lot of silver.
At this time, the sun was rising high in the sky. When the women in the dark room came out, they saw that the carriage had gone far away.
Each of them had their hands full of things. Despite this, there were still some larger items in the dark room that they could not take away. In addition, there was a lot of food in the kitchen's granary. Unfortunately, without a cart, they could not carry so many things away. They could only take the valuable things in their hands and go down the mountain first, and then call someone to take them. Then it would depend on who was faster.
After the carriage went down the mountain, it headed straight for a larger city nearby. It first exchanged the things in the carriage for silver bills for easy carrying.
An hour later, they arrived at Yanchuan City.
Yanchuan City is about the same size as Moro City, with a concentrated population and a bustling and prosperous city. It has more trade than Moro City. There are many commercial houses in the city, so there are also many money piles, which makes it convenient to exchange silver and silver notes.
However, when Ning Ji took the box of silver to the money pile and exchanged it for silver notes, people were still surprised. After all, he exchanged it for five thousand taels of silver notes, which was a considerable amount.
As for the other box of jewelry, they took it to a pawn shop and pawned it. Although the value of the jewelry would depreciate a lot, for the convenience of carrying it, they did not mind the depreciation. It was also some extra money anyway.
Wei Xiaohu also pawned the jade and silver items in his pocket and got one hundred taels of silver. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. This was really a huge fortune for him.
After they finished dealing with the things, it was already noon, so they found a larger restaurant nearby and had something to eat first.
Wei Xiaohu did not go with them as per his duty, but just said that he would guard the carriage. He bought a few pies on the roadside to fill his stomach, and Si He and Ning Ji did not force him.
When we walked into the restaurant, it was dinner time and there were many customers in the restaurant. There were no private seats upstairs, and the lobby on the first floor was almost full of people. It was bustling with people and the sounds of talking and laughing were everywhere.
There were only a few empty tables left in the corner. They were considered the elegant seats on the first floor, with only a few screens covering them. The price was a bit higher, so they were left there.
After they sat down, the waiter came forward enthusiastically to introduce today's signature dishes and fine wines. The two of them only ordered a few of the signature dishes.
Sitting on the first floor has its advantages. You can hear about some recent major events from the diners around you.
After ordering the dishes, Si He listened curiously to the conversations around her, mainly because she knew a little about what they were talking about.
"This Zhuangjia Town is really strange. In broad daylight, the town is shrouded in fog and has a gloomy atmosphere. The Qian family has really caused a lot of harm to the people. They have brought disaster to the entire town."
"Who says it's not true? It's not like the Qian family did something wrong to provoke such a powerful creature and cause hundreds of lives to be destroyed. Tsk tsk... It's really tragic."
"I passed by Zhuangjia Town yesterday. Tsk~ It was really scary. Just looking at it from afar gave me a sense of gloom and chill. I wonder when those Taoists will be able to eliminate the evil spirits in the town."
"Hey~ I heard that the Qian family and the Huang family that's haunting Moruo City are relatives, right?"
"That's right! I guess these two families must have done something sinister, otherwise why would those evil spirits target them and cause harm? They've even implicated the entire town, what a huge loss!"
