The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!
Chapter 84: The Bandits We Met Before
"Who knows, maybe the boss likes this?"
Tang Xiluo in the prison heard it with gritted teeth. It would have been fine if she didn't hear it, but who could blame her for having such good hearing?
So after gulping down the rice, he grabbed the wooden cage with both hands, as if he wanted to stick his head out.
"I advise you not to say such harsh words! What's wrong with me?!" If it were in the past, I would have to teach them a lesson.
The two bandits at the door heard this and turned around, their eyes full of contempt and disgust: "What's wrong with you? Don't you even know your own weight?"
"The boss's interest in you is just a whim. You don't really think you can become the mistress of the village, do you?"
"Hahahaha, don't take yourself so seriously."
"If the boss really likes you, why would he put you in jail?"
Tang Xiluo had a gloomy face. If you didn't know, you would think that the boss they praised was so great, but in fact, he was just so-so.
"You think I'm interested? Ha, do you think you bandits are any good? Who would want to have anything to do with you?"
A bandit said angrily: "A bandit is better than a beggar like you! You can't even afford to eat and yet you despise bandits."
Tang Xiluo snorted: "What does it matter if you can eat? You will die sooner if the government sends people here."
The two bandits were stunned for a moment, and then laughed even harder, laughing at her ignorance and her daydreaming.
"Government? You still expect the government to save you? Forget it." The government wouldn't care if ordinary people were arrested, so how could they care about a beggar like her?
Besides, their boss had the county magistrate's leverage over them, would the county magistrate dare to come up the mountain to arrest them? He even had to obediently hand over the silver.
"If the government had sent people to arrest us, they would have come long ago. How could we have continued to live in the mountains for so many years?"
"That's right. I advise you not to daydream. It will be useless even if you escape and report to the police."
The bandit guarding the gate showed off for a long time until he said he was tired and stopped.
"Forget it. Why talk so much to a beggar?"
"That's right, that stinky beggar. She wouldn't understand even if we told her."
Little did they know that the more they talked, the more evidence the county magistrate would have of his crimes, and Zhan Jingchen remembered every single one of them clearly.
There was silence for a short while, and then the respectful voices of two bandits were heard outside.
"The first and second boss, the eldest lady."
"Well, how are they in there?"
"Reporting to the boss, it's very quiet, no noise."
The eldest boss laughed and said, "You are quite sensible. Take the key and open the door."
The wooden cell door opened.
The big boss looked at Zhan Jingchen and Baili Yu coldly and asked, "Tell me, where did your people take those boxes of gold and silver?"
Zhan Jingchen shook his head calmly: "I don't know."
The second in command stood up angrily and said, "How dare you say you don't know? You are just deceiving our young lady's innocence!"
The second young lady grew up in a mountain village and didn't know the rules outside. She kidnapped two men and even learned to give a betrothal gift like ordinary families.
Baili Yu rolled his eyes and glared at the female bandit: "You are not trustworthy!"
The female bandit avoided the gaze. She had said she would give the betrothal gift, but now he was coming to get it back. She felt a little embarrassed, but she had no choice as her eldest brother insisted.
The big boss smiled and said, "I am a bandit, what integrity do I have to talk about? I speak with my fists!"
Zhan Jingchen glanced at him and said, "We are all tied up, how can we know where they will transport the boxes?"
The boss was startled by his calm gaze. He was too calm, which was nothing like the reaction of an ordinary person being tied up. Moreover, there seemed to be a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.
Being stared at by him was like being stared at by a poisonous snake.
He was suspicious and couldn't help but become more alert.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Zhan Jingchen said seriously: "A businessman from Jiangnan."
The female bandit's eyes lit up: "Jiangnan? Are you from Jiangnan? Is Jiangnan really as good as the legend says?"
I heard that the people in Jiangnan are all handsome young men and beautiful young women. People in Jiangnan are good-looking, and they are not only gentler but also richer than those in this poor and remote place.
She has spent her entire life in a small, shabby place like Chi County, and most of the time she couldn't even leave the village. Her favorite place is Jiangnan.
The second in command glanced at her, then lowered his eyes, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes.
The big boss looked at him and Baili Yu carefully. Although they both had extraordinary temperaments, they were indeed dressed and spoke in the Jiangnan style, and even their personalities were similar.
"Then why did you come to steal the boxes?!"
Baili Yu complained: "Business is not easy, can't we take shortcuts?!"
Everyone: "..."
The big boss snorted, "I hate you businessmen the most. You think you are noble, but in the end you are not as good as us bandits who rob openly and honestly!"
Baili Yu glanced at him and said, "Tsk, don't judge everyone by one person."
The second in command was too lazy to waste words with them: "Tell me where the box should be now!"
Baili Yu said nonchalantly: "Who knows? If our brother has a conscience, he will transport the box back to Jiangnan and call someone to rescue us. If our brother has no conscience, he will just run away with the box."
The second in command remained silent, this was true.
Faced with those boxes of gold and silver, let alone ordinary brothers and friends, even brothers and parents might turn against each other and be ruthless. What's more, businessmen themselves don't tend to have deep friendships with others. They are all about superficial interests.
Tang Xiluo curled his lips and said, "If you have time to talk nonsense here, you might as well send more people to track it down."
The female bandit got angry when she saw her: "We don't need you to teach us how to do things!"
The big boss said sullenly, "Someone, call Hei San and the others over!"
After a while, a group of bandits knelt down outside the wooden prison.
"Whatever you want to do, we will do it."
The big boss nodded with satisfaction: "Your chance to make amends has come. Last time you stole a few boxes of stones, this time go and track down the real gold box! Make sure you bring the real one back to me!"
Baili Yu, Zhan Jingchen and the others were stunned. They had met before! They had fought each other when they were robbing the fake gold.
Fortunately, they were all inside the wooden prison, and the boss and others were standing at the prison door, so Hei San and others were kneeling outside and did not look inside carefully.
Zhan Jingchen and his companions could see the people outside clearly through the gap.
So they all turned aside calmly, except Tang Xiluo, who had never been seen by Heisan and the others, so he was carefree.
"Yes! We must bring back real gold to atone for our sins!"
In fact, it’s not their fault that the gold is fake, but there’s nothing they can do about it. The boss of the village has the final say. If he says they are guilty, then they are guilty.
