Chapter 141: Suffering in Silence

In the underground secret room of the Dianshi Mansion, Er Gouzi stood up and patted the dust off his clothes.

He had taken away the items in this underground secret room, and the door panel was also removed and put into the gourd.

This door panel could be used to make dozens of weapons for his men.

He even turned the floor of the secret room upside down, and took out all the traps hidden underground and in the wall interlayer and put them into the gourd.

After he turned it over, there was not even a nail left in the secret room.

These parts can be taken back and reassembled somewhere else.

Er Gouzi crawled out of the cave under the rockery, and the Dianshi Mansion was still quiet.

It seemed that the people in the mansion had not discovered that their master had disappeared.

This was the second time that Er Gouzi had come to the Dianshi's house as a guest, and he was already familiar with the layout of the house in the mansion.

He bypassed the place where the family members lived and went straight to the warehouse behind.

On the walls of many places, there were still traces of his last arson.

He was a little worried at first. It had not been long since the last theft. If they often caught this family stealing, would the warehouse be empty?

It turned out that his worry was completely unnecessary. The speed at which the Dianshi Lord made money was far beyond his imagination.

The warehouses that were emptied last time were all full again.

So much food, bacon, dried fruits, copper coins, wine...

In addition, there were several stones of marching pills, probably intended to be taken to the county city to exchange for cultivation resources.

Er Gouzi moved the materials in the warehouses into the gourd.

He was like a hardworking little bee, working hard and not complaining. He emptied several warehouses in succession without complaining.

Hard work is the nature of farmers, and labor is a very happy thing.

After moving all the materials into the gourd, he looked back at the empty warehouse, feeling a little unsatisfied.

It's a pity that there is nothing to steal in such a good place in the future.

If the hatred between the two could not be resolved, it would be better to keep it slow and steady. It would be better to come and steal every now and then than to farm.

Er Gouzi did not set fire this time, and quietly left the Dianshi Mansion alone.

He went out of the city directly and went home. He came quietly and left quietly without letting anyone know that he had been here.

After returning to Shekou Mountain, he first put the snake back into the snake cave. It would take at least several days to recover.

After this time, it was probably seen that the farther he took the snake demon away from Shekou Mountain, the faster the snake demon's breath would deplete.

Last time, the snake demon helped with farm work and carried food, and it could last for most of the day. This time, it was eating people outside, and it was gone in just a few breaths.

After Er Gouzi returned to the top of the mountain, he hid in the stone house and counted the gains from the Dianshi family.

He no longer valued those spirit stones and pills.

He valued those books more.

In the Dianshi study, there are some ordinary books, including military books, state governance strategies, and articles by sages.

Reading is beneficial, and these books will be very helpful if you read them slowly in the future.

In addition to these, he also got a book "Thousand Machines" in the secret room.

The traps in the secret room that are hard to guard against are all related to this book.

In addition to this book on mechanisms, there is also a cultivation method.

Unfortunately, this method only has the Qi training stage part, and there is no method to practice after the foundation building stage.

It is a reference for Er Gouzi, but it is not particularly helpful.

With Er Gouzi's current progress, he will be able to practice to the tenth level of Qi training in about one or two years and prepare for foundation building.

However, there is still no foundation building method.

Thinking of this, Er Gouzi took the wooden sign out of the gourd and looked at it carefully in his hand.

If there is no other way, he plans to forge a wooden sign first to see if he can exchange a method with Daoxuanzong.

It doesn't matter if Daoxuanzong finds out. At worst, he won't exchange it.

If he can't exchange the skills, he can only go to the capital to find Ji Cang.

To be honest, he doesn't want to go to the capital.

What if Brother Ji asks him to stay and then invites him to be an official?

Brother Ji said that he has many beautiful sisters. What if Brother Ji wants to marry the princess to him?

Alas, it's hard to refuse such kindness!

I feel worried when I think about it now.

Brother Ji said that their sisters are all very beautiful. The oldest one is more than a thousand years old and still as beautiful as a flower.

Er Gouzi wiped his saliva and thought about it. He was not interested in the princess and continued to count the items...

…………

……

In the county town, in the county government office.

The newly appointed county magistrate sat alone in front of a table, frowning and thinking hard.

The team of officers and soldiers he sent to Anchang County to arrest people was actually swallowed by a snake demon.

Only five people escaped alive.

According to the reports of these five people, he already had some understanding of the context of the matter and could guess who did it.

According to the information he had, there was a big snake hidden in Shekou Mountain, and that snake had devoured several foundation-building monks of the evil cult.

Who else could it be except Er Gouzi?

A group of people died in revenge by Er Gouzi, which was nothing. There were many two-legged people in the world, and they could just recruit another batch.

The most important thing was that he underestimated the relationship between Er Gouzi and King Qi.

He originally thought that Er Gouzi was just a little follower of King Qi, and the wings he cultivated were not important figures.

Some time ago, through official channels, we learned that the master of King Qi was arrested and imprisoned. It was the time when the wall fell and everyone pushed him.

In addition, there is an imperial edict to punish traitors, so we just take this opportunity to cut off Ergouzi.

What he didn't expect was that Er Gouzi turned out to be King Qi's savior and left an IOU written in blood that owed him a life.

This was something he had not expected before. If he just took advantage of King Qi's misfortune and killed one of his men, the impact would not be too great.

But if he is the savior, then that is another matter. No matter how unlucky King Qi is and loses power, he is still the prince.

If he really wanted to take revenge at all costs, he really couldn't afford it.

So now he knows that Ergouzi is taking revenge, but he can only suffer a hidden loss.

Moreover, we just received news that Dian Shi from Anchang County has disappeared.

The person was in the study room of his home, and then disappeared without a trace. All the secret rooms and warehouses in the home were moved cleanly.

Not even a single iron nail was left.

If this incident is related to officers and soldiers being swallowed by snakes.

It is easy to deduce that it was Ergouzi who did it.

In addition to retaliating, it was actually showing his fangs as a demonstration.

On the surface, from the official point of view, he cannot fight, but he can not abide by the rules and can attack in secret.

As a result, the new governor became more afraid of Er Gouzi.

He was thinking that if the big snake could swallow the cult's foundation-building monk, it could probably swallow him in one gulp.

Unexpectedly, he had been a local emperor in Anchang County for decades. He followed his words and followed the law, and everyone who saw him would be trembling with fear.

Now that he has been promoted to a county guard, he still has to endure the humiliation of a civil servant.

No matter how aggrieved the county guard was, he could only endure it for the time being and seek revenge later when he found a suitable opportunity.
