Chapter 26 Robbery
The three brothers of the Pan family were not born to Zhao. When Zhao was in the Eastern Palace, someone gave her a sterilizing drug and she could never have children of her own in this life.
Old Man Pan was injured while hunting when he was young and was also unable to have children. Strictly speaking, the three brothers of the Pan family can only be considered nephews of Old Man Pan and Zhao. They are the sons left by Old Man Pan's deceased eldest brother.
However, they have treated them as their own children over the years, and the family relationship is harmonious. They are not biological children, but they are better than biological children.
The big bundle contained the things left by the former Crown Princess to her daughter. Apart from spending money on Pan Yingying, neither Zhao nor old man Pan had spent a penny over the years.
Pan Yingying just took a look and saw pearls the size of quail eggs, imperial green jadeite, gems of various colors...the bundle was basically full of jewels.
There were also 15 taels of silver notes, 20 gold bars, and 3 silver bars. I heard that there were originally 10, but they were spent over the years.
The late Crown Princess's maternal grandfather's family was the richest merchant family in Jiangnan, so it was normal for them to leave so much money to their daughter.
However, after the incident in the Eastern Palace, all those related to the late Crown Prince were implicated. Now, the late Crown Princess's maternal family has fallen into decline, and I wonder if anyone is still alive.
Pan Yingying was unable to react for a moment after suddenly learning about her life experience. She used the cover of the carriage to put the baggage into the space.
"What's wrong? What did our mother-in-law say to you?" Yu Chaosheng came over and saw that Pan Yingying looked strange, so he lowered his voice and asked.
Pan Yingying shook her head, then raised her head after a while, "Nothing, I just made a fortune suddenly."
Yu Chaosheng glared at him with his sleepy eyes, "How fierce is he?"
Pan Yingying grinned, "More than 20 taels, is that considered bold?"
Yu Chaosheng's expression changed, he said "Fuck!", raised his hand and hugged her arm fiercely, "Sister Pan! My dear sister! I will depend on you to support me for the rest of my life!"
Pan Yingying snorted, raised her chin, and said, "It depends on your performance."
……
……
After everyone had rested, Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying, who were lying at the outermost edge, quietly got up, gave a look to Wang Yougen who was on guard, and then quickly slipped away.
There is no reason to swallow your anger when being bullied by others. You must get back at them.
During the melee, Pan Yingying once caught a bandit with a long knife and asked him about his village. Their village was halfway up the Luoxia Mountain, and the leader had just robbed the county chief and several wealthy families a few days ago.
There is money and food in the mountain stronghold. If we don’t rob them now, when will we?
The two men followed the route the bandit had mentioned and arrived at their destination in less than two hours.
The village is not big. Since all the young and strong men have gone down the mountain, only the old, weak, women and children are left in the village, and they have all rested.
It was easy to enter the village, and Yu Chaosheng, with his sharp nose, found the warehouse after a quick look around the village.
There were two men in their forties guarding the warehouse, and Yu Chaosheng took care of them without any effort.
The two entered the warehouse and saw bags of rice.
Pan Yingying was a little worried. There were too many of them and her space couldn't hold them all.
She suddenly had an idea and opened the system mall. Since everything can be bought in the mall, what about the space area?
With the mentality of giving it a try, Pan Yingying searched on the mall panel, and unexpectedly she actually found it!
The price shown is not cheap, 10 taels of silver per square meter.
Thinking of the windfall she had just made, and looking at the wooden box that Yu Chaosheng kept his money in, she told Yu Chaosheng directly about her discovery and the price she paid for the space.
Yu Chaosheng currently has 2400 taels in savings. He is not stingy and is willing to take out 1000 taels.
Pan Yingying paid 2000 taels and bought 300 square meters at once. The space was instantly doubled, and there was no need to worry about not being able to store the grain in the warehouse.
After putting the things into the space, the two of them moved to a room not far away.
This room was ordinary and contained a lot of medicinal herbs, but Yu Chaosheng discovered a cellar underground. The cellar, which was about 5 cubic meters, was filled with gold, silver, jewelry and banknotes.
"It's rich!" Yu Chaosheng's eyes lit up, and Pan Yingying was no less excited.
The two of them simply rounded up the amount and bought an area of 1000 square meters.
The space suddenly became extremely empty, and Pan Yingying, who had a bit of a hoarding habit, felt uncomfortable immediately and always wanted to find something to fill it up.
Yu Chaosheng slapped his thigh. Isn’t this easy?
He took Pan Yingying to the village kitchen and searched it, taking away all the pots, pans, and utensils, even the large water tank and firewood.
Finally, feeling unsatisfied, I went to the house where Zhang Qiang lived.
As the boss of the mountain gang, it is impossible for Zhang Qiang to not have private property.
Zhang Xiaoye was already fast asleep. Pan Yingying's figure was like a ghost. She went over without saying a word and sent her downstairs to reunite with Zhang Qiang and Pan Yi's family.
"A family should be together and neat and tidy." Pan Yingying smiled slightly.
The two men turned Zhang Qiang's house upside down and found a secret room under the bed.
It is called a secret room, but it is actually a cellar.
Inside were some jewels that were more valuable than those in the warehouse, and there was also a large box of gold bricks, which looked much more shocking than the gold and silver in the warehouse.
Before leaving, Pan Yingying's eyes inadvertently swept across the dressing table in front of the window, on which there were a lot of jewelry.
She walked over and put the dressing table and several boxes of clothes next to it into the space.
When the time comes, she will give these jewelries on the dressing table to her three sisters-in-law. She believes that they will not mind because they are things belonging to a dead person.
It was already daybreak when they returned to the camp. Seeing the two return safely, everyone's hearts finally settled down.
Pan Yingying put some food not far away, just enough for each household to get a bag.
While the men were moving grain under the leadership of Yu Chaosheng, Pan Yingying took out several bundles and distributed them to the women present.
In the bundle were the clothing materials from the boxes in Zhang Qiang's room. Everyone was covered in blood last night. Although the clothes had been washed with wood ash, wood ash did not wash clothes cleanly. These materials could be used to make new clothes for them.
Xiao Wang, Liu Juhua and Zhao Meixiang all had some silver jewelry and two 5-liang silver ingots in their bags.
She didn't look closely at the jewelry on Zhang Xiaoye's dressing table. Each of them got five or six pieces.
Liu Juhua's chrysanthemum earrings and Zhao Meixiang's plum blossom earrings were returned to their original owners. Given Pan Yingying's personality, the two of them immediately understood Zhang Xiaoye's fate and felt that they had gotten rid of their anger.
Little Wang was given two solid silver bracelets, a pair of silver hairpins and a gold ring. She was slightly surprised but did not show it on her face. She just picked up the goose yellow satin in her bag and prepared to make a coat for Pan Yingying.
She must remember the kindness of her younger brother and sister-in-law.
As for Zhao, Pan Yingying directly gave her a set of gold headdress and two gold ingots. As for Old Man Pan, she also gave him a gold ingot.
Part of the money Zhao brought out of the palace was given to her brother and sister-in-law in the early years. Later, she got married and built a house and bought land, and married wives for her three brothers. All in all, it had been almost spent. Pan Yingying guessed it, so she chose to give money.
