Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Li Tianze nodded, "Remember the bandit nest I told you about last time? My people also tracked them here, and those bandits suddenly disappeared."

Leng Youran's eyes instantly lit up like beads, and his eyes were shining. "Ah, what a coincidence! I was thinking of going to the bandit's lair after I cleaned up this place, but I didn't expect it to be the same place again."

"Who said it wasn't, but how did you know this place?"

"Isn't it that Zheng Dazhi? Zheng Dazhi sneaked out of the house two days ago, and out of curiosity I followed him, and then I found this place."

"No wonder those bandits suddenly disappeared after my men had been tracking them for so long. It turns out they were colluding with the government. Now it seems Zheng Dazhi is in cahoots with them."

"It's so obvious, why bother saying it?" Leng Youran rolled his eyes, and then the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.

"What's wrong? Aren't they good together?"

Leng Youran shrugged slightly dejectedly. "What's good about that? I originally thought there were two full vaults waiting for me to visit, but now, one is missing. How can I not be sad and upset?"

From Tianze...

Well, it’s still that greedy little guy.

"Think of it this way. Originally, there were two small warehouses. Now that they're combined, there might be even more treasure. It also saves a lot of trouble."

"Really?" Leng Youran asked uncertainly.

Li Tianze nodded firmly. "Yes, think about it. After we finish here, we can go somewhere else for a stroll. Maybe there will be other fortunes by then. Didn't you say before that it was a pity that you didn't take action against several wealthy families in Zhoucheng? After we finish here, we can go for a stroll."

Leng Youran's heart seemed to ease a little after his words, but when he thought of Zhou Cheng, he felt a little depressed again. "Let's forget about Zhou Cheng. If I take too much, it might affect An Liu and the others' upcoming tasks. After all, he's the governor there now, and it would be difficult for him to deal with a big bandit. But we can go for a stroll around the other cities down below."

Li Tianze was secretly delighted.

Okay, okay, this way they could have more time alone together.

Thinking of the message Li Wu had sent him before, asking him to work harder to make Leng Youran his wife, he laughed.

The little fox deliberately misinterpreted their meaning that night, causing him to write a large piece of paper to scold Li Wu and the others.

Li Tianze was about to speak when he heard a noise coming from not far below.

The two of them fell silent and watched what was happening below.

Suddenly, two burly men emerged from a pile of weeds not far from them.

The two men were dressed in animal skins and had two axes on their waists. They first cleared the tightly blocked entrance of the cave, then stood at the entrance and looked around for a while before turning back and waving at the cave behind them.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze stood on a high place, staring at the direction of the cave without blinking.

Soon, carts were pushed out of the cave.

Leng Youran's eyes lit up as he looked at the boxes.

She was very familiar with this thing. Whether it was the seal or the box, they looked exactly like the tribute items she had seen in Zhou Yuanwai's villa before.

One by one, carts were pushed out from under the big tree where they were and onto the official road. Soon, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the cave again.

"Third brother, it's finally time for the brothers to go to the capital. We have to stay in the capital for a while longer this time."

"You're thinking about Liu Er from Yingchun Hall, right?"

"Hehe, you see through it but don't say it out loud. Besides, Third Brother, don't you want your little sister-in-law who is left in the capital..."

"Go, go, go..." The man called Third Brother first looked around, and when he saw that everyone else had led their horses to the official road and no one was around, he continued, "Keep these words to yourself. If your sister-in-law finds out and makes a scene with me, I'll skin you alive."

The little minion bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry..."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the official road.

Seeing that the others had harnessed their carriages, he counted the number of people.

After checking everything, the third in command gave an order and the carriage started moving.

The figures gradually disappeared, and Li Tianze asked, "Where are we going first?"

Leng Youran rubbed his chin with his fingers twice. "You go check the cave first, I'll follow you."

"You..." Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Leng Youran's figure had disappeared.

Li Tianze could only shake his head helplessly, and then went into the cave obediently according to Leng Youran's instructions.

On the other side, Leng Youran had already caught up with the Third In Command and others.

The carriage they were driving was not very fast, but they were chatting and laughing along the way and had no intention of stopping.

Leng Youran felt a little anxious, after all, that was all silver!

I was thinking about whether I should just get rid of them once and for all.

On second thought, I felt it would be better to let these people be killed by the people they were loyal to.

This will make it more heartbreaking.

Having made up her mind, she sped up and passed the group of the third in command, stopping a mile away from them.

It's just a matter of tinkering with it to take out the smoke bomb from the space.

"Third brother, do you think there's thick fog ahead?"

The third in command frowned slightly. They had walked this road many times. Although there would occasionally be thick fog, they could usually see the direction ahead clearly.

I don't know why the fog is so thick tonight.

He checked the surroundings and saw that they were all covered in white mist. He raised his right hand and said, "Be careful."

Director Ma's team began to slow down, and one car after another entered the fog.

Leng Youran carefully observed the situation of their group. After the last carriage entered the smoke, she quickly took action and transferred all the boxes into the space.

I replaced the contents according to their previous appearance and then put the boxes back in their original places.

Almost at the same time she finished all this, the third in command and others also walked out of the thick fog created by her smoke bombs.

The third in command was very alert. After emerging from the fog, he did not rush to leave. Instead, he waited until all the carriages came out. He checked that nothing was missing from the carriages before giving the order to continue on their journey.

Leng Youran stopped reading here and flew towards the cave.

Not long after Tianze entered the cave, he found the entrance to the village through the marks left by horse hooves and wheels.

He did not act alone but waited for Leng Youran's return at the entrance of the cave.

Just after he had been staring for half an hour, Leng Youran's figure appeared before him.

"Did you find it?" Leng Youran said happily after landing.

"Well, even though they tried to remove the traces, there are still traces."
