Chapter 168 Nan Jiang Orphan
"I only want money, not blood. If you behave yourself, I will pretend I have never seen you."
Jiang Si held the dagger in her hand and scratched the wall, making a very harsh sound.
In the dim secret room, the woman and the child hugged each other tightly.
There was no way, Jiang Si's clothes were too similar to those of the people who destroyed their Xiao family.
It was impossible for them not to be afraid, and they dared not easily believe what she said.
Jiang Si walked along the wall and went behind the women and children.
She faced a few women huddled together and groped for the door on the wall.
"girl!"
Suddenly, someone spoke.
Jiang Si turned her head and saw the woman with a pregnant belly.
"I guess the young lady is not in the same group as the people outside. The young lady is very skilled. If you are willing to rescue these two children, I will tell you the location of the Xiao family's treasure house."
Hearing this, Jiang Si became interested and her eyes swept over the two children cowering beside the young pregnant woman.
"I can find the location of the Xiao family's treasure house by myself. Why should I wade into this muddy water and bring two burdens with me?"
Jiang Si sat on the stone steps, twirling the jewel-encrusted dagger in her hand.
The Xiao family is truly worthy of being a century-old family. Even their daggers are inlaid with gems.
"Ting'er, you are so confused. How can you make a deal with such a bad person? It's obvious that she is in cahoots with the group of people outside."
The lady in gorgeous clothes patted the pregnant woman's shoulder gently and scolded her while crying.
As soon as this lady started crying, the eyes of the other young women became red again and they all started sobbing.
Listening to the gradually louder crying, Jiang Si clenched the dagger and decided to kill.
If we let these women continue crying, it will definitely attract the masked men outside.
"Don't cry." The pregnant woman named Ting'er shouted angrily at everyone, "Mother, if this girl can find her way here, then the demons outside can definitely find their way here. This place is not safe."
The young pregnant woman's words quieted down the crying woman and the child. Seeing them quiet down, the young woman looked at Jiang Si again.
Her eyes were clear and resolute. She pulled a pendant from her neck and handed it to Jiang Si. "I am the orphan of Nanjiang. This jade pendant is the key to unlock Nanjiang's treasure. If you are willing to rescue these two children, I will offer it to you with both hands."
The royal family's treasury, this is quite interesting, but...
"What good is a key?"
Hearing Jiang Si's words, Ting'er hurriedly knelt forward with the two children and said to Jiang Si in a low voice: "The map is on these two children. As for where it is, you will have to rescue them to find out."
After saying this, Ting'er handed the jade pendant around her neck to Jiang Si.
Jiang Si took the jade pendant with strange patterns and moved her eyes between the three people, still wondering how much truth there was in the woman's words.
"So it's because of you!"
The middle-aged woman suddenly stood up and pointed in Ting'er's direction and roared.
"It turns out that it was because of you and your two children that our Xiao family suffered this catastrophic disaster."
The woman's eyes turned red with anger. "When my uncle brought you back, I knew you were a nuisance."
"Go to hell, why don't you and your son just die?"
The middle-aged woman cursed and pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and stabbed the pregnant woman. Jiang Si jumped forward and blocked it with a dagger, knocked the hairpin off her hand, and stabbed her throat with the knife.
Such a bloody scene magnified everyone's fear in the small secret room.
Screams immediately filled the entire secret room.
Looking at the remaining women who were desperately hiding in the corner, Jiang Si frowned slightly, and finally tightened the handle of the knife. With a wave of his hand, the knife fell. In a short while, the world became quiet again.
On the other side, the young pregnant woman covered the eyes of her two children tightly and bit her lower lip to prevent herself from making any sound.
After solving the problem, Jiang Si threw away the dagger that had turned completely red, squatted down and wiped the blood off his hands with the corner of the middle-aged woman's clothes.
"That treasure you mentioned had better be real. Otherwise, as you can see, I'm not a good person. The blood on my hands is no less than that group of people outside."
"Don't worry, young lady. Everything I said is true." Ting'er tried to stay calm, but her trembling voice betrayed her.
click!
Suddenly, the sound of a stone door turning came from the direction where Jiang Si came from, and Jiang Si immediately took out a gun from the space and shot.
The loud sound of gunfire was particularly harsh in the secret room, but it was also very effective. With such a close-range shooting, the intruder was killed instantly by Jiang Si as soon as he showed his head.
"You're quite capable to catch up so quickly."
Jiang Si looked at the familiar outfit, muttered something, and then looked at the person behind her who was sweating profusely and was scared silly.
"Where is the Xiao family treasure house?"
The woman protected the two children behind her, then pointed to the stone door behind her and answered tremblingly: "Go out from here and walk to the end. The third candlestick from the entrance is the mechanism to open the treasure house."
After getting the answer she wanted, Jiang Si made three hand strikes at the mother and daughter, knocking them out, and then put them into the space.
Inside the space, a big cat that was rolling around on the grass out of boredom was startled when it saw a large and two small ones suddenly appear in front of it.
What did the master throw in again?
The big cat approached the three people and pushed the little boy on the ground with its huge tiger paw.
Seeing no response, it wanted to try again, but suddenly its master's voice sounded in the sky.
"Big Cat, keep an eye on them and don't eat them secretly."
Hearing the owner's warning, the big cat responded with a howl, then lay down beside the three people, smelling the scent of their meat, and saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth onto the grass.
Jiang Si opened the stone door leading to the main house, stepped out with one foot, and then stepped back to strip off all the jewelry from the middle-aged woman.
These are worth a lot of money. Although she has a lot of gold and silver in her space, who would complain about having too much money?
Following the instructions of the pregnant woman named Ting'er, Jiang Si successfully opened the door to the Xiao family's treasure house.
The moment I opened the door, I was almost blinded by the golden light.
The stacked boxes were filled with gold, silver and jewelry. Thinking of the situation outside, Jiang Si didn't have time to take a closer look. She just raised her hand and cleaned up everything in the room.
Thinking of the mountains of gold and silver in the space, Jiang Si couldn't stop smiling.
This trip was totally worth it. If she came again tomorrow to look for bargains as she had told Fan Tong, she probably wouldn't even be able to see a single gold bead.
Jiang Si hummed a little song and walked briskly towards the exit of the secret room in the main house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, she saw a familiar mask.
Looking closely at the pair of eyes of different colors, Jiang Si was so engrossed in them that she forgot to react for a moment.
One of those eyes was blue as clear as the sea, and the other was deep brown.
"Chief, that bitch is hiding here. I really don't know what happened back then. If I knew that woman was Murong Yun, I would never let her torture the princess like this."
