Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Chapter 546 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Cherish life and stay away from trouble, so how could she not distance herself from it?

Seeing Lin Xiaoyue's resolute attitude to distance herself from the matter, Doctor Qiao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He wanted to live a few more years and was too lazy to argue with Lin Xiaoyue.

"Speaking of which, a few of us old fellows arrived yesterday evening and waited for you all night. But you, as the host, disappeared without a trace. Did you go to rob the house?"

"Hey, old man, can you talk? I'm not the owner of the house. I'm just a temporary resident." Lin Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and retorted righteously, "Also, what I did was not called robbery. I went to contribute to the Dayuan Dynasty."

As she spoke, Xiaocao told everyone in vivid detail how Sanyajie took her to the residence of the garrison leader at the Tiansheng border yesterday, where they found the secret letter, how they plundered the enemy's treasure house, and even how they burned down the enemy's granary before leaving. In order to prove that what she said was true, Xiaocao also took out the military deployment map and several secret letters found from the enemy generals under the mountain of gold, silver and jewelry and gave them to the Seventh Uncle.

Of course, the secret of Sister San Ya's magical skills was hidden in it, and the gold and silver treasures collected were just a drop in the bucket compared to the treasure house that was piled up full. Not to mention, the enemy's food and grass were not burned at all, but were all collected by Sister San Ya.

But these are Sister San Ya’s secrets, she will definitely not reveal them.

Xiaocao was so excited when she spoke that she completely ignored the people in the front hall, as well as the prince and others who had come in from outside at some point, and were looking at Xiaocao in horror at her shocking words.

In other words, everyone didn't know how to face the two girls who were so bold.

It has to be said that except for Doctor Qiao and others who had escaped the wilderness with Lin Xiaoyue, everyone present had seen how fierce Lin Xiaoyue could become, so fierce that even a tiger would cry.

The Seventh Prince Uncle first put the military deployment map aside, quickly opened the secret letter and read through it at a glance. The more he read, the more frightened he became, and at the same time his heart skipped a beat. He felt that he knew Lin Xiaoyue well enough, but he didn't expect that this girl could, after being bluffed, go straight to the enemy's territory to rob. The veins on his forehead jumped violently, and the Seventh Prince Uncle felt that if this girl went crazy, she could basically poke a hole in the sky.

Not to mention the prince and others, most of the noble ladies in the imperial city were gentle and dignified, with elegant manners. Even though they had heard about the uniqueness of Princess Le'an, it did not break through their perception of the "lively" level of women... It was simply challenging their cognitive limits.

Awesome, Princess...

Compared to Lin Xiaoyue who had not done any homework on the border in advance, even Doctor Qiao and Doctor Li present knew a thing or two about Sangguo Town, which was closest to the Guzhen Pass.

Compared to the rumors about Cao Binglun, the garrison commander of Sangguo Town, everyone knew that he was cruel, violent, greedy and lustful. But he had been a soldier for half his life, fought on the battlefield for more than 30 years, and experienced more than 70 battles of all sizes. Except for several defeats at the hands of the Seventh Uncle, he could be called a brave warrior and a master of military tactics.

And Lin Xiaoyue was actually in the territory under the jurisdiction of this person. She first visited the other party's treasure house and then blew up the enemy's granary. Doing so much was like touching the enemy's taboo. She was really brave!

Looking at the priceless gold, silver and jewelry on the table, no one present suspected that Xiaocao was exaggerating and making things up.

After all, Princess Le'an is not a good person.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, imagining how chaotic Sangguo Town must be at this moment, and how furious and angry the garrison commander Cao Binglun must be at this moment.

No, no, no, it would be even better if we could just piss him off to death. Everyone couldn't help but think evilly with inexplicable excitement flashing in their eyes.

At this time, Cao Binglun, the garrison commander of Sangguo Town, who was being worried about by everyone, had a face so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

Upon seeing this, his wife, concubines, maids and children all fell silent and huddled in corners.

He was afraid that any loud breathing would touch his sensitive nerves and bring about a fatal disaster.

Just as everyone in the Cao family mansion was trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard, "Lord Cao, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

Cao Binglun looked at the panicked soldier who rolled and fell at his feet, and was furious. "Why are you panicking?"

"Sir, we have searched everywhere inside and outside the city, but we haven't found anyone suspicious." The soldier was so panicked that he couldn't even speak clearly. His face was terrified and he didn't dare to look directly at Cao Binglun's face which was distorted with anger.

Cao Binglun couldn't believe it and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "What did you say? Say it again for me."

Since a group of patrol soldiers in the mansion were knocked down and the study was robbed for no reason, all the wealth he had accumulated in half a lifetime disappeared overnight.

Even though there was a deafening explosion in the granary later, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Sangguo Town military camp, as well as the reserve grain for wartime reinforcements were all burned in the flames without leaving even a slag, he had never felt so hard to breathe.

Most of his life savings were gone just like that, and he didn't even see if the thief was a human or a ghost. Isn't this outrageous?

Cao Binglun was so heartbroken that he was about to cry.

With both the treasure house and the granary severely damaged, Cao Binglun's eyes were red, and he angrily kicked the soldier kneeling in front of him and threw him out, "Useless, all useless. I can't find my money, and I can't keep my grain. What's the use of you useless people?"

The soldier who was kicked over suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. He didn't care about the severe pain in his internal organs. He gritted his teeth, climbed up, and knelt in front of Cao Binglun, begging for mercy.

"Idiot, search every house for me. I don't believe that these rats can slip away when the city gates are closed. If you still can't find them after digging three feet into the ground, you will be beheaded." A fierce light flashed in Cao Binglun's eyes, and he shouted angrily.

"Yes, my lord."

The city gates had been closed since yesterday, and the soldiers had not dared to open them without Cao Binglun's order.

Although there were garrisons camped outside the city, the outskirts were surrounded by mountains, forests and wilderness.

Even if the thieves tried to escape from the city as soon as possible after stealing, not to mention that the city gates were closed, there were still some soldiers stationed outside. Even the wolves and tigers lurking in the mountains and forests were enough to scare people to death.

Moreover, the treasury was filled with gold, silver and jewelry. How could the thieves transport such a huge amount of treasure out without being noticed under the noses of the patrolling soldiers in the city?

Since he couldn't get out, Cao Binglun concluded that the thieves and the property must still be in the city, and the city gates had not been opened by his order so far and remained closed, so he searched house by house.
