My Princess Holds Superpowers
Chapter 343 - Chapter 343 343 The Despised Silver

Chapter 343: 343 The Despised Silver Chapter 343: 343 The Despised Silver As the antidote was administered, Master Lu and his men gradually awoke.

Then their gaze shifted, and upon seeing Dongzi and his men bound to the tree, all wore expressions of disbelief.

Recalling the recent events, what had happened?

It seemed they were fighting, and then…

Then, starting with one man falling, the others had almost no time to react before they too began to collapse in succession.

After that, they lost consciousness.

When they awoke, they were faced with the current scene.

The greedy Dongzi and his men, all bound by a metallic object at their wrists, hung on chains, which in turn were tied to the tree. Everyone was piled together in a heap, presenting quite the spectacle.

But, how exactly had this scene come about?

Thinking this, Master Lu couldn’t help but turn to Ye Wenzheng, who had just straightened up. “Wenzheng, my young brother, what’s happened to Dongzi and his men…”

“Ha!” Ye Wenzheng glanced towards Dongzi and his crew and scoffed, “They have only themselves to blame for being both greedy and foolish. They really thought they could bully us just because the young mistress and I are young. They never used their pig brains to think. If we hadn’t been fully certain, would we dare venture out to trade?”

In saying so, Ye Wenzheng also sent a warning to Master Lu and others around him, to never entertain such improper thoughts again.

Now, aside from the fourteen people with Dongzi, there were only eight left on Master Lu’s side including Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng, yet there were seven carriages. If any more narrow-minded fools appeared, there would be issues managing the carriages.

This was Ye Wenzheng’s biggest concern.

Meanwhile, the few remaining men behind Master Lu couldn’t help feeling relieved. Thankfully, they weren’t tempted by the prospects of gain. Otherwise, they might be among those tied up to the tree right now.

And as for Dongzi and his crew, once comrades, their current plight truly incited a pang of sorrow.

After issuing a warning, Ye Wenzheng approached Ye Jiu, “Little aunt, what should we do next?”

Ye Jiu thought for a moment, “They should have quite a sum of silver on them, go check.”

Even though they had only sold inferior goods in Fengyang City, they still made a tidy profit.

Greed doesn’t warrant pity. Since they were after money, Ye Jiu was going to ensure they didn’t get a single silver note.

Ye Jiu certainly hadn’t forgotten what Dongzi had said before making his move.

He said, dispose of Ye Wenzheng and herself!

Dispose how? To kill, wasn’t it?

Ye Jiu was one to hold grudges. They had tried to kill her; why should she show them mercy?

Ye Wenzheng went through the belongings of Dongzi and his men. Dongzi himself had several hundred taels of silver, while the others also had a hundred or two each.

Ye Wenzheng came over and handed the silver to Ye Jiu, who looked at it with disdain, “Forget it, you keep it.”

She certainly didn’t overlook where all this money had been hidden.

Stashed in shoes, belts, and within the multitude of hidden pockets, there were even some disgracefully tucked inside underpants, the method of hiding money was indeed diverse.

Ye Wenzheng thought for a moment, knowing Ye Jiu might be repulsed, thus he didn’t insist and simply pocketed it, “Then I’ll hold onto it for now, for use on the road.”

These people were truly repulsive. Not to mention a young lady like his little aunt, even he, a grown man, could barely stand it. If not for the reluctance to throw away the silver notes, he really wouldn’t want to keep them on himself.
