Chapter 383 Granny Lou
As soon as the leader finished speaking, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.
"Boss, aren't you going to kill him?" Sixteen popped up.
【Why kill him?】Yun Yi scoffed. 【Isn't it better if he's half-dead?】Besides, after she takes away what that person left here, whether the leader can live or die will depend on fate.
Sixteen sizzled several times; it was too treacherous.
Yunyi looked at her space, organized the things inside, and then put the things from the cave back in, categorizing them one by one.
Then they continued walking in. The leader of the gang was hiding something, but the Day Wanderer could see clearly that there was another hidden cave inside the mountain cave, which was also full of boxes.
As for how to get in...
Just break the stone gate open with a whip; it's simple and brutal.
The contents inside made Yunyi gasp. The ingots were neatly arranged and filled with gold ingots. She picked one up and saw that it was engraved with the words "Great Zhou Government Office".
This is official silver.
I didn't care about the points anymore and just put it into my space.
"Boss, that's 100,000 taels in total."
Yunyi nodded. Ten thousand taels of gold is one million taels of silver. So much silver... If that person in the capital wasn't planning a rebellion, she would eat shit while standing on her head.
However, since there are no other clues at the moment, we can't speculate.
Now that she's taken the gold, I wonder if the person in the capital will be furious when he finds out.
Yunyi rowed her boat to two other places, where there were also warehouses, but they were mostly filled with grain, with not much gold or silver. However, Yunyi was known for her shrewdness, so she took everything she could. She even wanted to take the tables and chairs, thinking it would be great to give them to the common people later. Unfortunately, there was limited space.
When Yunyi arrived at the large ship, Yunlu had already led Sumu and the others to rescue some of the people imprisoned there. There were ten women and four men who survived.
"Miss, are you alright?" Fang Zhong rushed over to Yun Yi and looked her up and down.
“No.” Yunyi shook her head. “I was lucky. The bandits fought amongst themselves for me, so I hid to the side and waited until they were both exhausted before I came out.”
Su Mu's lips twitched. Did she even believe that herself?
Yunyi met Su Mu's gaze: "Guard Su, I'm very lucky, aren't I?"
Su Mu was about to scoff sarcastically, but for some reason, under the other person's gaze, he slowly nodded: "Yes, Miss is very lucky."
Yunyi laughed: "Alright, you should hurry up and report to the authorities. This matter needs the government's intervention." After saying that, she boarded the boat.
The boatman hurriedly steered the boat out and happened to encounter a government patrol boat, so he reported it to them.
The government officials rushed in and were utterly astonished. The bandits of Jiazi Mountain had been a scourge for a long time, and the annual bandit suppression efforts had resulted in heavy losses. They never expected this to happen...
Yunyi has already returned to her cabin; what happens outside is none of her business.
Moreover, she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Chengen's mansion, and Fang Zhong would not allow anyone to come and disturb her.
However, the matter was too serious, so they were unable to set off that day. Instead, they waited until the officials had searched the entire Jiazishan Mountain and arrested everyone before leaving. Instead of continuing north, they were taken to a dock ahead.
Jiazi Mountain spans between Hanzhong Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture, but most of it is within Hanzhong Prefecture, so it is usually patrolled by Hanzhong Prefecture the most.
Now that the river bandits have been captured, the credit naturally falls on the head of the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture.
Because someone had already reported this, the bald-headed prefect Ding Xiangqian rushed over in a hurry. He didn't care that it was night and immediately ordered lanterns and torches to be set up for an overnight interrogation.
As the eldest daughter of the Earl's family, Yunyi was only briefly questioned before being let off the hook.
As for the bandits who were beaten half to death, they couldn't even speak, so naturally they couldn't testify against Yunyi.
By daybreak, the entire Jiazishan Mountain had been searched, and all the bandits had been captured. The only thing that puzzled the prefect was that the huge bandit stronghold of Jiazishan Mountain was dirt poor.
Yunlu imitated the prefect's exasperated expression to Yunyi: "This prefect is going to be disappointed. He didn't expect there to be nothing good here. He won't even get any profit."
Yunyi smiled and said, "Okay, go ask when we're leaving. Your back is aching from sitting on the boat all day."
Yunlu then went out.
Around noon, voices finally came from outside, and those who had been taken away returned to the ship one after another. Although the pregnant women were frightened, they were not seriously injured.
In the afternoon, the ship finally set off again, but this time the atmosphere was very heavy, after all, everyone had just gone through a life-or-death situation.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey went very smoothly. Four days later, they finally entered the Jingzhao Prefecture area, which is the area of the capital city, and finally stopped at the South Suburb Wharf.
Fang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally arrived.
At the dock, the Fang family's carriage was already waiting there, along with the two guards who had driven the carriage back earlier, a head maid, and two old women.
Fang Zhong disembarked first, greeted the head maid, and then helped Yun Yi off the boat.
"Greetings, Miss." Granny Lou stepped forward and bowed.
"You're too kind, Granny Lou." Yun Yi raised her hand slightly. "It's been over a year since I last saw you, Granny Lou. You look even more energetic."
This person was originally called Granny Lou, a second-class old woman in the mansion. However, she caught Sun Qingli's eye, so after Sun Qingli was promoted to the position of official wife, she also became the head nanny of Qingli Courtyard, and was also the godmother of Xu'er, the original owner's maid.
Granny Lou gave a forced smile: "It is my honor that Miss still remembers this old servant. The Lord and Madam are waiting. Please get in the carriage, Miss."
Yunyi nodded and got into the carriage. However, when Yunlu tried to get in, she was stopped: "You're a maid bought on the way here, aren't you? The Marquis's mansion isn't so easy to enter, so..."
“Granny Lou,” Yunyi interrupted her, “A-Lü is my maid, I bought her, is there a problem?”
"Young Miss, this is of unknown origin..."
"You're quite capable, Granny." Yunyi sneered. "If people didn't know you, they'd think you were the matriarch of the household."
Granny Lou's expression changed: "Young Miss, you're too kind to this old servant."
“Since you call me Young Miss, then I am the master. I decide who to use.” Yun Yi paused, then looked at Fang Zhong. “Butler Fang, what do you say?”
