The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

After the first granary had all the income space, they followed closely to the second one.

With Cui Yingying's living token, everything went smoothly. After emptying the second granary, the group headed straight towards the mountains outside Dongcheng.

The entire mountain here is the private property of the Cui family. It is said that this place was originally a barren mountain. A few years ago, when the nearby villagers were grazing cattle on the mountain, the old cow accidentally entered a cave. The villager wanted to find the lost cow. I also walked into the cave and found a large number of salt crystals in the cave.

Soon after the news came out, the Cui family bought the hilltop and built a private salt pond. This salt pond alone can bring huge wealth to the Cui family's second house every year.

Yan Shu is looking forward to this salt pond.

Due to transportation needs, the mountain roads were dug manually to be fairly smooth. After the carriage arrived at the Cui Family Salt Pond, Yan Shu and Jiang Ci got off the carriage one after another with Cui Yingying.

The three of them walked outside the gate, and several men in uniform guard uniforms came over cautiously.

"Who is coming?"

"it's me!"

As the sky grew dark, the leading guard walked towards the three of them holding a torch.

When he saw Cui Yingying, the leader, he recognized him at a glance.

"The villain has met the fifth girl."

Cui Yingying's eyes flashed and she deliberately remained silent for a while.

Her silence aroused the suspicion of the guard.

He raised his head and looked at Cui Yingying. When the fifth girl came with the master and the eldest son, she liked to boss around and make things difficult for their servants. Why did she suddenly change her temper today?

Yan Shu pinched Cui Yingying hard. Tears of pain rolled in Cui Yingying's eyes. She blinked quickly to suppress the urge to cry.

"My father sent me to check on the situation of the salt pond."

"Fifth girl is here to inspect that batch of goods, right? That batch of goods has been prepared and someone can be sent to pick it up at any time."

The guard mistakenly thought Cui Yingying was here to inspect the goods.

After all, it was a large transaction, and the master was very cautious about this matter. He sent Butler Xu over to check it three days ago, for fear of making any mistakes.

"To make sure everything is safe, I'd better go to the salt warehouse and take another look."

"Fifth girl, please come."

The guard didn't think much and made a gesture to invite him in.

Cui Yingying walked into the salt pond with Jiang Ci and Yan Shu. The guards here were obviously much tighter than the previous two granaries. From time to time, several patrolling guards would pass by.

Because Cui Yingying had been here several times with her father and brother before, most of the nursing homes recognized her. From time to time, people came forward to salute. Cui Yingying saw that these people were all unfamiliar faces, so she did not dare to ask for help rashly.

Jiang Ci went to Yan Shu's side and whispered: "There are many secret sentries nearby to keep watch. We will act according to the opportunity later."

"it is good!"

After passing two iron gates, they finally reached the entrance of the salt pond.

Jiang Ci and Cui Yingying were still waiting outside the door, and only Yan Shu walked into the salt pond.

Yan Shu walked into the salt pool and took out a flashlight to look around. There were multiple salt pools of even size in a large room, filled with processed fine salt. Although it was not as fine as the official salt, the color It is also more yellowish, but overall it is much more delicate than coarse salt.

Yan Shu used his mind to transfer all the fine salt from several salt ponds to the small space courtyard, estimated to weigh forty or fifty tons.

His eyes turned to the north wall, where there was a locked wooden door.

Yan Shu walked straight over, took out the unlocker, and quickly opened the wooden door. Behind the door was a salt warehouse. The area should be five or six hundred square meters in size by visual inspection, and fine salt packed in cloth bags was piled inside.

There is an exit at the other end of the house. The gate entrance can accommodate a carriage. The fine salt will be packed in this salt warehouse before being transported by vehicle.

Yan Shu used his mind to put all the goods in the salt warehouse into space, glanced at the instantly empty salt warehouse, and turned back with satisfaction.

After leaving the salt pond, Yan Shu walked to Jiang Ci with a smile: "You can go."

Jiang Ci raised his hand to open Cui Yingying's acupuncture points, and the two of them left Cui Yingying with a reluctant look on her face.

When a group of people walked into the yard, a group of guards who were on night watch walked straight over.

Cui Yingying saw the leader of the nursing home at a glance, and the other party also noticed her.

"The villain has met the fifth girl. Why did the fifth girl come to the salt pond alone today?"

Cui Yingying suppressed her excitement and pretended to be calm: "My father asked me to come to Yanchi to inspect the condition of that batch of goods."

When speaking, Cui Yingying deliberately slowed down her speaking speed. When the other person looked at her in confusion, Cui Yingying quietly made a gesture to the person.

The eyes of the leading guard changed slightly, and he glanced at Jiang Ci and Yan Shu beside Cui Yingying from the corner of his eye.

The gesture made by the fifth girl was the Cui family's unique distress signal, indicating that the fifth girl was being coerced.

The person who intimidated the fifth girl was naturally the person following her.

Thinking of this, the guard pulled out the saber from his waist with a loud sound and slashed straight towards Jiang Ci's face.

When the nursing home glanced at them, Jiang Ci had already guessed that his identity had been exposed, and he had secretly reached for the soft sword at his waist, ready to take action at any time.

When the broadsword struck, the soft sword was swung out simultaneously with a powerful internal force. The two metals collided and sent out a burst of crackling sparks. The guard was frightened by this powerful internal force and took a few steps back. In time, he was supported by the men behind him. No embarrassing falls.

"They are holding the fifth girl hostage, catch them quickly!"

Although the guards didn't know what happened, when the leader gave the order, everyone immediately drew their weapons and attacked Yan Shu and Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci took the lead and killed several people in a row. Yan Shu stood behind him and swung a handful of poisonous powder directly at the front door of the guards who besieged them.

Cui Yingying seized the opportunity and wanted to run away. As soon as she took a few steps, she felt a numbness in her calf. She looked down anxiously and saw that an unknown object was stabbed in her calf. The whole leg quickly No consciousness.

At this time, the entire Yanchi nursing staff heard the sound of fighting and rushed over. Dozens of nursing staff surrounded Jiang Ci and Yan Shu.

Yan Shu grabbed Cui Yingying's back collar, pulled her in front of him, and pressed the dagger in his hand hard against her neck.

"Whoever dares to step forward will be buried with her!"

The leading nurse looked at Yan Shu with cold eyes: "Let the fifth girl go, or you will never get out alive."

Jiang Ci snorted disdainfully: "Are you worthy enough?"

The nurse sarcastically said: "How dare you utter arrogant words when a disaster is imminent. This is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want. If you dare to hurt the fifth girl even a hair, my master will skin you alive." !”

The nurse thought that his words would have a deterrent effect. Unexpectedly, the next second, Yan Shu's knife was a little harder. Cui Yingying's white and tender neck was instantly cut open, and blood dripped down the shining handle of the knife. And down.

"Stop immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

Yan Shu sneered and said, "If you don't get out of the way, you will end up with a corpse."

The head nurse's face was extremely ugly, and Cui Yingying screamed in pain.

"Do you bunch of dog slaves want to see this girl die? Come on, get out of my way!"

At this moment, she didn't dare to put her life in anyone's hands. She was wrong just now. When she saw that the guard at the head was a confidant of her eldest brother, she made a gesture for help in desperation.
