Time travel, quick transmigration

Xiao Huanling sat by the couch watching over Shi Yan until her breathing gradually calmed down before she stood up.

"Ah Man, please take good care of her and watch over her for me."

Xiao Huanling looked at Aman and said.

Aman nodded.

"Don't worry, Young Master Xiao, this servant will take good care of my mistress."

Xiao Huanling responded with a faint "hmm," glanced back at Shi Yan a few more times, then looked away and walked outside.

After leaving Antang, Xiao Huanling went to find Jiang He.

"Brother Xiao, it's wonderful that you're getting married to Sister Ayan! Congratulations, Brother Xiao!"

Jiang He looked proud, which brought a smile to Xiao Huanling's face.

"I want to marry you, Sister Ayan. This is the most important and joyful thing in my life. However, I certainly want to give you the best when I marry you, Sister Ayan. But this time we went out, and all my private property was left in Hedong. I also decided to leave it to all the brothers of Xuan Ce Army. All I have is a jade pendant that I carry with me. I have nothing else. It is a bit difficult to come up with a lot of money to prepare for the wedding in a short time."

"I don't want to wrong your sister Ayan. Do you have a way to find the money quickly?"

Seeing Xiao Huanling deep in thought and troubled, Jiang He pondered for a moment and immediately came up with an idea.

“Brother Xiao, since you are going to marry Sister Ayan, you certainly can’t let her suffer.”

"I know you have long been in love with Sister Ayan, and you have been thinking of her constantly. Now that things have finally come to a happy ending, you should not have any regrets."

I understand how you feel.

“Brother Xiao, why worry about money? We are in a chaotic world now, and the world is unstable. There are often corrupt officials or unscrupulous merchants who take advantage of the people’s misfortune. We can just find one of them and take their ill-gotten gains, and everything will be solved.”

"For the sake of Brother Xiao, so that Sister Ayan's wedding can be held in a grand and glorious manner, I will also act on behalf of Heaven this time."

Jiang He patted his chest, looking eager to try.

Xiao Huanling's eyes flashed, and he neither agreed nor disagreed with Jiang He's suggestion.

In order to give the woman he loves everything a bride should have, Xiao Huanling doesn't mind robbing someone and killing a few people; after all, his sword only kills those who deserve to die.

"In that case, let's go."

He then strode away.

Seeing that the person had left, Jiang He was stunned for a moment, and then, extremely surprised, he immediately followed after them.

"Brother Xiao, are you serious? I was just saying it casually. Are you really going to rob someone? Don't you care about your reputation? If others find out that you're going to steal money for silver, they'll condemn you."

Xiao Huanling remained silent, but his silent back spoke volumes.

Seeing that Xiao Huanling was clearly determined, Jiang He said no more.

“Brother Xiao, whatever you do or whatever decision you make, I will support you to the end.”

So the two of them left the clinic one after the other and went straight to a teahouse in the market. They found a seat and soon learned some useful information from the people drinking tea and chatting.

"Brother Xiao, which family's silver are you going to collect?"

Jiang He lowered his voice and turned to Xiao Huanling.

"Is it the wealthy Li family in the east of the city, who took advantage of the chaos to inflate grain prices? Or is it Wu Yun, the county magistrate who is corrupt and extorts money from the people, making countless wrongful convictions? Or should we just rob the Zhang family in the west of the city, who run a gambling den, forcibly take women, and cause many people to lose their fortunes or even die?"

These people all deserve to die, but to avoid causing too much trouble and involving too many people, Xiao Huanling still carefully chose one of them.

“Let’s take the Li family as an example. They are so rich and heartless that they deserve to die. These three people are not worth the death, but the money needed for the wedding should be enough for one family. The Li family, who are so greedy, must have a lot of private wealth.”

"After I get the silver, I'll go and buy the things needed for the wedding. You make a few more trips and take care of that corrupt official Wu Yun who does nothing, as well as that gambling den owner and his good-for-nothing son who kidnaps women and tortures people to death. There's no need to keep these scourges around any longer. Since we've encountered them, we can't just sit idly by."

"This way, we can at least leave a peaceful Qingming Festival for the people of Jincheng County."

Jiang He had no objection and even thought Xiao Huanling's suggestion was good.

“What Brother Xiao thinks is also what I think.”

After agreeing on their terms, the two went to the counter to pay and left the teahouse, heading straight to the east of the city.

Shi Yan, who was taking a nap with her eyes closed in the An Tang room of the medical clinic, had no idea that the person determined to give her a perfect wedding had taken her good brother Jiang He to the Li family mansion to collect silver, and also intended to take care of a few troublemakers along the way.

Xiao Huanling and Jiang He easily entered the mansion of the wealthy Li Ren. As they walked through the mansion, they saw its luxurious and grand style, which was comparable to the mansions of noble families in Chang'an. This strengthened their resolve to take away the mansion's wealth.

"Who are you two? How did you manage to barge into my residence? Guards? Where are the guards...?"

Li Ren had just woken up from the gentle embrace of his beloved concubine when Jiang He yanked him off the bed, leaving him disheveled and utterly humiliated as he fell to the ground.

Seeing the two strangers who had suddenly barged into his residence, and whose faces were clearly hostile, Li Ren couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Seeing Li Ren with a sword pressed against his neck by Jiang He, the woman, who was almost naked, trembled with fear and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, unable to make a sound, for fear that if she made a noise, she would be killed by a sword.

"What brings you here? Two heroes, please spare my life!"

Li Ren felt the chill approaching from the sword's edge and trembled, fearing that Jiang He might accidentally slit his throat and kill him.

"Hero, good man, please spare my life!"

Looking pleadingly at Jiang He, and seeing that Jiang He was unmoved, she looked at Xiao Huanling, who in his eyes was a peerless beauty and not an ordinary person, with snot and tears streaming down her face.

Seeing Li Ren, who was always so smug and impressive both at home and outside, looking like a clown in front of Xiao Huanling and Jiang He, Li Ren's beloved concubine Xu Feng felt a pang of embarrassment and felt extremely ashamed.

Seeing Li Ren's disgraceful behavior, Xiao Huanling felt extremely disgusted and gave Jiang He a look.

Jiang He understood and moved his sword a little closer to Li Ren. Li Ren immediately felt a pain in his neck and held his breath, almost fainting.

"Tell me, where is your storehouse? We've come here for your wealth. If you know what's good for you, hand over all your possessions and I'll spare your life. Otherwise..."

The implication was quite clear: Li Ren loved money all his life, but when the time came, he had no choice but to act.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, as long as you two spare my life."

Xiao Huanling remained indifferent throughout. Although he was robbing people of their money, he made them feel unapproachable, as if they should offer up their hands willingly in front of him.

Li Ren was astonished that he had such a misconception.

Before taking Li Ren to the warehouse, Jiang He knocked out Li Ren's beloved concubine.

Seeing Jiang He's ruthless and decisive attack, Li Ren's breath caught in his throat, and he dared not make a move.
