Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

Chapter 206: Uniform Red Peony

Charlotte subconsciously followed her into the cave.

Both of them were wary of each other.

Hong Mudan wanted to lure Charlotte into the cave for questioning.

Xia Luo thought that Hong Mudan would believe her so easily, but that was impossible.

Before Hong Mudan turned around.

Charlotte used a silver needle to prick Hong Mudan's Dazhui acupoint.

Hong Mudan didn't even have the chance to look back, she just froze there, unable to move.

"Who are you?" Hong Mudan never expected that her opponent was more powerful than her.

"That's the person you want to arrest." Charlotte told her directly to save her from making blind guesses.

"Princess?"

"Look, you're telling the truth." Charlotte walked around to the opposite side of Hong Mudan and looked at her.

"Okay, you already know my identity. Tell me your identity! You don't have to tell me, but I have many ways to make you tell me. I'm afraid you will suffer, but it's not worth it. You can still pick up a few handsome guys with this pretty face. If you don't have this face, who would care about you?"

What Charlotte meant was that you rely on your face to make a living. If you ruin it, how can you act coquettishly in front of men?

"I am a decent woman. The bandit leader kidnapped me and took me to the mountains to be his wife."

"Then how did you hook up with Sima Zhao?"

Hong Mudan was stunned. How should she answer? Should she say that she had a purpose in flirting with Sima Zhao? Or did the bandit leader like her to cheat on him?

"He seduced me. How could a woman like me fight against the police?"

"Hearing you say that, I feel a little sympathetic towards you." Charlotte curled her lips.

"There is a lot of silver in this cave. I'll give it all to you. As long as you let me go." Red Peony begged Charlotte.

"I have tested your skills. They are as good as those of martial arts masters. Tell me the truth. Don't waste time. My needles have no eyes. They will hit wherever I point them."

After saying that, he threw out a few silver needles and inserted them into different acupuncture points of Hong Mudan.

This time she was not so lucky. After a few injections, Hong Mudan felt itchy all over like a woman in the secular world. But she could not move.

She could only use her facial features and expressions to show how intensely itchy she was.

"Princess, please forgive me. I am just a dog of Mr. Sima. He ordered me to do everything. He also embezzled all this money."

"If you still don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude." Charlotte pierced another acupuncture point on Hong Mudan.

This time, even Hong Mudan's facial features were distorted.

"Crown Princess, Crown Princess, I'm telling the truth, please forgive me!"

It turns out that Red Peony is a spy from the overseas country of Maoqiu.

Because of her sweet appearance and eloquence, she started training in various skills at the age of nine.

At the age of thirteen, he came to Mobei to hide.

Because that hairy country is a small country.

They lacked both economic strength and military power, but in order to expand their territory, they wanted to swallow up the Mobei Kingdom at all costs.

Mobei is a big country. It has strong economic power and fertile land. They covet it.

For the sake of long-term interests, they trained people like Hong Mudan to lurk in Mobei, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, ready to go at any time.

They targeted officials and businessmen with money.

Because whoever controls the economic lifeline first will have the chance of winning.

So, it is true that Hong Mudan was kidnapped to the mountain by the bandit leader at the beginning.

She thought the bandits must have silver.

Facts have proved that the bandits did steal a lot of gold, silver and treasures.

But the bandit leader is not her only wife.

Besides, they were all robbed women, so there was no way to trust them.

The bandit leader hid all the stolen property.

The security in Mobei State is getting worse and worse. Every year, we go to the mountains to suppress bandits.

Their lives are becoming increasingly difficult.

In order to preserve his strength, the bandit leader thought of the idea of ​​recruiting the enemy.

It was the pale-faced scholar's idea to present the red peony to Sima Zhao.

When Red Peony returned the white silver.

The bandit leader was extremely happy.

In fact, Hong Mudan also has her plans.

She gave all the silver to the bandit leader, and also got the hiding places of his other valuables.

A large amount of property was collected, and the bandit leader was afraid that people would know.

He secretly found a few strong men and hid all the valuables in a cave on the cliff.

Then he threw the big men off the cliff into the valley.

But all this was discovered by Red Peony.

The bandit leader originally wanted to get rid of Hong Mudan.

But then I thought again, there was Sima Zhao, the God of Wealth, who was sending money in continuously.

He just wanted Hong Mudan to know about it.

This way, Hong Mudan won't be distracted by making money.

Not only did he not blame her, but he also discussed how to set up obstacles on the path to prevent others from entering.

The path and the mechanism at the entrance of the cave were all designed by Hong Mudan.

The poisonous python and ferocious beast were brought here by the bandit leader who was afraid that Hong Mudan would rebel.

But where did the poisonous python go? And the ferocious beast was not seen either?

It turned out that the little green snake had already reached here.

No matter how poisonous a python is, it cannot be as poisonous as the little green snake of the space elf.

The little green snake found two poisonous pythons blocking the road.

It shrank its body and used its fangs to dig a hole in the snake's vital point.

Then it releases venom inside. Because the body is shrunk, it is difficult to be detected.

Both poisonous pythons were knocked unconscious by the poison.

I don't know what species that beast is. It seems to be a hybrid.

It also used the same method to attack the weak spot of the beast and knock it unconscious.

Then he twisted his body and went to the cave.

The groundhog was digging hard outside the hole.

He was pulling the valuables out of the cave.

Smelling Charlotte's scent, they all ran over to show their courtesy.

The little green snake suddenly wrapped around Charlotte's wrist.

The groundhog nuzzled Charlotte's ankle.

It seems that the valuables are indeed here.

She pressed the sleeping point on the red peony and put it into the space.

Put the two meritorious beasts into the space.

The mechanism has been opened, so Charlotte is not afraid that there are other mechanisms waiting for her.

She walked into the cave and saw that it was full of boxes, and the area was as big as five or six houses.

There are also scattered gold and silver spots exposed outside.

She put them all into the space. But these were all the stolen property.

The silver that Sima Zhao embezzled disappeared without a trace.

You can tell from the spider webs in the box. If the silver was put there recently, there wouldn't be so many spider webs.

After she put away the boxes and cabinets, she saw two holes inside.

It's blocked by these boxes and can't be found at all.

She slowly felt her way along the cave wall. It was too dark. She took out the night pearl.

Suddenly Situ Jin came out of the space, which scared Charlotte.

"You didn't come out earlier or later. You scared me to death!"

"I just came from the cave over there. I saw you were still looking, so I came out now."

"What's going on over there? What bit the white-faced scholar?"

"I was bitten by a python. Now I have to put it into the space."

"The python was also brought in?"

"It was a giant python. Who knows how it got lodged in the cave? I knocked it out and took it in."

"There must be silver in here. Look at the protrusion next to it. It's almost gone. It means they come here often to deliver silver."

"Have you tried Hong Mudan?"

"We have interrogated them. They are spies from Maoqiu Country. There are also several women in Mobei Country who are spies from Maoqiu Country. When you go back, you must carefully check all the officials' families. Those whose addresses are unclear must be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

"With so many spies infiltrating, the court officials didn't even know about it? It seems the court needs to start over. It will be hard to enforce without laws."

"Look, how many years will Sima Zhao be sentenced to for embezzling this much money?"
