Chapter 25 Recovering the Bandit Lair

The moment the stone door opened, Charlotte's eyes widened.

There were more than 50 boxes of gold bars, more than 100 boxes of jewelry, and even more silver ingots. There were more than a dozen boxes of silver notes. There were also cloth, various silks, furs, and various daily necessities. The most exciting thing was that there was also a night-shining pearl.

Charlotte didn't check it anymore, she would look at it later. With a wave of her hand, she put them all into the space storage room.

She looked around to see if there were any dark rooms, knocked here and there, and suddenly heard some movement under her feet. She bent down with her face to the ground and listened carefully.

The voice was very faint, and it was a curse.

She looked around, trying to find out where the mechanism below was.

Suddenly I found a bulge on the side of the stone gate.

If she hadn't put everything in the space, she would never have found it.

When I pressed the raised part, I heard a sound from a square stone on the ground. The stone moved to the side, and there was a step leading down underneath.

Charlotte walked down carefully and put on the mask.

I saw an old man chained to a pillar. He couldn’t lie down or stand up. He just sat there, muttering and cursing.

I don’t know if he was hungry or angry.

The veins on the head are bulging.

"Old man, are you hungry?"

Charlotte asked him in a low voice for fear of scaring the old man.

She took out some wild boar jerky from the space and handed it to him.

"Who are you? Who sent you? Are you trying to poison me again?"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes wide open with anger.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You should eat something first. Only when you are full can I rescue you."

Charlotte didn't have time to explain it to him. If the bandits knew that the warehouse had been stolen and started looking for it everywhere, it would be too late to escape.

"Can you really get me out?" The old man let down his guard and looked at the dried meat.

"Eat something quickly. Come, drink some water. Don't choke." Charlotte directly got him some spiritual spring water.

The old man ate some dried meat and drank some spiritual spring water, and instantly he felt his strength restored.

His eyes flickered but he said nothing.

He did whatever Charlotte told him to do.

Charlotte unlocked his chains with the master key and then led him out the same way they came.

As soon as I got to the door, I heard someone shouting, "The wolfhound is missing, the door has been tampered with, go report it to the Third Boss."

Charlotte thought, this is bad, the two of them can’t get out.

He looked back at the old man and sealed his sleeping point with a silver needle. Then he put him into the space.

The door creaked open and Charlotte quickly hid in the space.

After they all went in, she left the space and slowly moved towards where they lived.

Most people went to the warehouse. She brought a maid over and gave him a pill, saying it was poison. If they wanted to detoxify, they had to listen to her.

Charlotte followed the maid to their residence and found that their residences were divided into different levels. The residence of the eldest master was very luxurious, with four or five noble ladies walking around inside. The maids and the old women were waiting on the side.

Charlotte thought that the boss must have some private money, so she used a handful of sleeping pills to knock out everyone in the yard.

Then she went to search the boss's bedroom. She patted here and fiddled there, and finally found the boss's secret room under the bed.

Because the house was built on the mountain, the secret room underneath was quite large. She put all the boxes, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and gold bars into the space.

Then he went to the second in command's residence.

There were several women fighting inside the second in command's residence.

The clothes she wore were as thin as a cicada's wing, and one could tell at a glance that she was a kidnapped prostitute.

I used the same method to knock them out. I found the secret room in the corner and searched all the boxes.

The third in command's residence is not easy to enter, as there are many people and two vicious dogs guarding the door.

"Where do the people they captured live?" Charlotte asked the maid.

The maid was confused by her. She went to the boss's residence but didn't take anything. Then she went to the second in command's residence but didn't take anything either. What was this woman trying to do?

"They all live in caves." The maid didn't dare to lie. If she wanted to survive, she had to listen to her.

"Wait here, don't make a sound, and wait for me to come back and give you the antidote. If I find out that you betrayed me, you will have to think about the consequences yourself."

Charlotte went around the back hill to see if the kidnapped person lived there, when suddenly a big hand grabbed her. She was startled. Her ears were very sensitive, but why didn't she hear any breathing?

"Don't move, it's me." A familiar male voice sounded.

"Han Sijin? Why are you here?" Xia Luo was curious about how Han Sijin knew that she was in the bandit's lair.

"It was the master who found the reinforcements. It's a long story. Are you trying to rescue the people who were kidnapped?"

"I heard from the maid that countless people and items are robbed every year. They are all powerless civilians. Now that we have encountered them, let's see if we can rescue them."

"Are you stupid? How many hands do you have? You are getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to break into the bandit's lair by yourself."

Han Sijin didn't know whether he was worried or blamed Charlotte. He said angrily.

Charlotte pursed her lips and said nothing.

This is not the time to argue. She will go back and tell him how many people she has killed and make him admire her.

"Are you here to help me or to let me go back?"

Charlotte asked curiously.

"Look, the people over there in the woods are all ours, and they have surrounded this place."

It turned out that the lawyer did not return to the town, but went directly to the county magistrate. The county magistrate tried to wipe out this bandit den several times, but his efforts were always unsuccessful.

When the county magistrate's wife heard that Charlotte was in trouble, she urged the county magistrate to find help.

Han Sijin has a secret assassination organization in the county.

In order to make money, they also take on various assassination, bandit suppression and other businesses.

Just then the county magistrate found them. When they heard that their lady had passed away, they quickly sent a pigeon to send a message to Han Sijin.

Han Sijin asked his men to take good care of Zimo, and rushed to the bandit's lair alone.

Seeing the miserable condition of the bandits on the road, Han Sijin felt that this woman was not simple.

Seeing her dragging her maid around here and there, I didn't know what she was going to do, but I always felt that this girl had a secret.

"Their third in command is still inside. Come with me and don't let him run away." Xia Luo subconsciously pulled Han Sijin's hand and ran towards the third in command's residence.

Han Sijin held his young wife's hand, his face flushed. Fortunately, it was dark, otherwise he would be extremely embarrassed.

With reinforcements coming, Charlotte was even less afraid.

The cavalry regiment and the people brought by the county magistrate cooperated on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain to wipe out all the bandits.

Charlotte found the maid and gave her a pill.

All the stolen goods were turned over to the public. There were more than 300 common people, merchants and prostitutes.

Many people haven't been home for many years and don't even know if there's anyone left at home. Some people's entire families were killed in robberies.

The county magistrate was in a dilemma. What should he do about the resettlement issue?

At this time, Xia Luo made a suggestion to the county magistrate, whether it is possible to settle these people on the mountain. The land on the other side of the valley is fertile, and the resources on the mountain are abundant.

If they trusted her, she would let them live here with the men farming and the women weaving.

"Great, then you will be in charge of all these people. Go back and register everyone. Taxes will be exempted for three years."

"Thank you, sir, for your help. I will pay the annual fee. Please don't cause trouble for you, sir."

The county magistrate took more than a hundred bandits back to the county government office to ask for credit.

The master stood there and looked at Charlotte. This girl was simply a deity.

"Girl, it looks like you can't go back today. I've asked someone to say hello to the village chief, don't worry."
