Once she decides to do something, Li Mengyue always gives it her all.

But this time the task was too heavy and she couldn't afford to relax at all. She calmed herself down and decided to see what was in the box in the left corner.

Tuanzi can’t be relied on for the time being, so you can only rely on yourself for now.

Based on her experience in her previous life, Li Mengyue discovered that this secret room contained more than just the arrow mechanism. There should be others, and she needed to find a way to crack the mechanism.

Otherwise, at this short distance, she couldn't guarantee that she would be unharmed.

Suddenly, Li Mengyue saw a brick in the corner of the wall. Compared with ordinary bricks, its color was darker.

With a try-it attitude, Li Mengyue took out a dagger from the space and threw it on the brick after ensuring her own safety.

"Boom" sound.

Li Mengyue heard the sound of the mechanism stopping, and took out the dagger to test it again, and found that there was indeed no danger.

Li Mengyue then walked towards the boxes. Maybe because she was too confident in the dark room or something else, all the boxes were not locked.

After all five large boxes were opened one by one, four boxes were filled with various jewels and jade, and the other box was filled with gold.

[We are rich, we are rich. Host, we have made a fortune this time. 】

When the system saw so much gold and jewels, it was so happy that it couldn't stop smiling. After all, it and the host wanted to help the poor, and they couldn't do it without money.

If the host only relied on hunting and collecting herbs, he would not be able to support himself in doing good deeds.

What's more important is that it is afraid that its host will not be able to live a comfortable life and will quit its job. Then it will have no place to cry.

Now that I have obtained so much gold, silver and jewelry at once, I don’t have to worry about money for a short time.

[Host, quickly put the things into the space. I want to sleep on it today.]

Not wanting to make Tuanzi unhappy, Li Mengyue put all five boxes into the space without any hesitation.

But she thought of one thing, that is, if all these things were exchanged for silver, it would definitely not be a small amount of money.

It is impossible for Huang Shiren to save so much just by collecting rent.

During this time she lived in Xinghua Village. According to her understanding, in previous years when the harvest was good, one acre of land would only produce three shi, or three hundred kilograms, and this was when the weather was good.

Even if Huang Shiren had 500 acres of land and collected 70% of the rent, he could not have accumulated so much wealth, unless he was doing some extremely profitable business in private. What was it?

[Host, let's go find Huang Shiren as soon as possible. I didn't tell you before, that's when Huang Shiren picked up Xier, I felt that his eyes were not right. ]

Li Mengyue was in a good mood after receiving such a large sum of money. After hearing what Tuanzi said, she said solemnly: [I also found out, but I don’t know where they went. ]

[Host, with your ability, it's a piece of cake if you want. ]

[What truth are you talking about? Let's go quickly. 】

Li Mengyue walked while looking for other secret passages.

Sure enough, as soon as I reached the stairs, I knocked on the wall and heard a hollow sound.

With a strong push, a secret door appeared before his eyes.

There was a dim light in the secret door, and Li Mengyue subconsciously took a defensive stance.

After walking for a while, Li Mengyue saw the scene in front of her and felt that the blood in her body had stagnated.

I saw Xier, who was fine before, with her hands tied with iron chains, naked, and no one knew how many times she had been whipped. Her whole body was covered in blood and there was not a single piece of healthy flesh. Only her face had no wound at all.

"Devil, devil." Xier was beaten unconscious and kept shouting the word "devil".

"My dearest darling, didn't you say that I can do whatever I want?"

"The master has loved you deeply, how can you be a devil. Come, tell the master, do you still want it?"

Xier saw Huang Shiren holding a red-hot iron in his hand and shook her head in fear, saying, "No, no, please let Xier go, Master. Xier dare not have such wishful thinking anymore."

Huang Shiren did not put down the branding iron when he heard Xier's words. Instead, he looked a little crazy and growled in pain, emphasizing the words as if he was speaking to someone.

"Why don't you dare to dream? I allow you to dream. Bitch, tell me, do you love me or her?"

"I love you, I love you, I love you, Master!"

As soon as Huang Shiren said the words "Xier, I love you", he suddenly raised his head and laughed, and said firmly: "No, you don't love me, you love poor scholars, you would rather elope with someone than marry me."

"For you, I am willing to give up my wealth and disobey my parents to marry you. But how did you treat me? You said you loved me, but secretly you were having an affair with a poor scholar."

"Even when I finally convinced my parents to agree to our marriage, you took the money I gave you and eloped with a poor scholar the day before the wedding, making me lose face and become a joke. How could I not hate you?"

"And during these years when you were gone, I missed you so much that my heart ached. You said you loved me, so why didn't you come back to see me?"

"I hate you, Rou'er, I hate you."

When Li Mengyue came in, Huang Shiren fell into a frenzy.

He looked at Xier as if he was looking at another woman, the one who eloped with the poor scholar in his words.

Through Huang Shiren's description, Li Mengyue roughly knew that when Huang Shiren was young, he fell in love with a woman, and for her, he even ignored his parents' words.

As a result, when he was happily preparing for their wedding, the woman ran away with the poor scholar. He couldn't accept it for a while and hated all women.

From this we can see that the reason why Huang Shiren was so cruel to women had a lot to do with the woman who abandoned him.

But so what? No matter how much hurt he has suffered, it is not a reason for him to hurt a woman with a clear conscience.

Looking at the women in the quiet courtyard and the corpses buried under the garden, one can tell how many women have been tortured and died at the hands of Huang Shiren over the years.

Although Xier wanted to rely on Huang Shiren to live a rich life with gold and silver, she would not lose her life for it.

Xier thought that she could stop the master and gain the status on the day when he took in his eighteenth concubine.

She didn't expect that the master seemed considerate to his servants on the surface, which deceived her eyes, but was so cruel in private, like a devil.

When she was first carried to the dark room by the master, she thought the master was going to play some new tricks.

As a result, when her hands were tied to iron chains and she was beaten to a bloody pulp, and no matter how much she begged for mercy, she received no sympathy at all, she realized how stupid and naive she was.

She was wrong, so wrong. She shouldn't have been so wishful thinking and greedy for wealth and fame, and ended up with such a miserable ending.

Just when she couldn't bear the torture anymore and wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide, she saw Li Mengyue behind the master.

Fearing that Li Mengyue would fall into the master's evil hands like her, Xier signaled Li Mengyue to leave.

"Go, go quickly."

Li Mengyue clearly saw Xier ignoring the pain in her body and reminding her to leave.

Huang Shiren visits Xier

As Xier was breathing in less than out, Huang Shiren showed no mercy and pressed the red iron against Xier's chest.

Just as the soldering iron was about to touch Xier, the thing in Li Mengyue's hand shot out.

"Oh!"

The branding iron in Huang Shiren's hand fell and hit Huang Shiren's foot.

"what!"

"Stab it, sting it!"

Huang Shiren was seen holding up his feet, jumping on one foot and screaming.

In just a few seconds, Li Mengyue smelled the aroma of barbecue.
