Chapter 233: Eat to Death Ouyang Wan'er saw that Gu Chan looked a little strange, so she immediately frowned and said, "Husband, we have to do a serious business in the future. You can't open a brothel. We don't want to make that kind of dirty money." "What are you thinking about! How could I open a brothel for handsome men? You're thinking too much." Gu Chan said speechlessly. She had to admit that Ouyang Wan'er was quite smart. These dozen or so handsome men can indeed support a brothel, but the status of women in this world is so low that those who dare to consume in such brothels of handsome men are probably well-known women. Hi! Think about it! Gu Chan immediately turned her thoughts around and reassured everyone, "Okay, you don't need to say any more. Go and prepare five carriages for me. I have to send them out of the city before noon." "Yes, boss." Everyone responded in unison. Then some people were assigned to prepare the carriage, while the others continued to repair the house. Half an hour later. Gu Chan came to the room on the second floor, found the handsome men, and said to them, "I have prepared five carriages for you. Each carriage is loaded with a box of banknotes. I will send you out of the city at noon. Once you are out of the city, you can run for your lives! Otherwise, if the Xu family comes looking for you, you will still be caught and taken back."
"Little hero, may I ask your name?" asked the handsome man. "My name is Gu Chan." Gu Chan said with a smile. All the handsome men immediately knelt down and kowtowed to her. Gu Chan quickly reached out and helped them up, "Alright, no need to be polite, it's more important to escape, let's go." "Brother Gu, we will always remember your great kindness. We have just discussed that when we leave this time, we will flee south to Jiangnan together. If we gain strength in Jiangnan by then, when you are in danger in the future, as long as you need us, we will risk our lives to help you." said the handsome man in the lead. Gu Chan nodded happily. After that, she said no more, and immediately escorted a dozen people downstairs, sent them to the carriage one by one, and ordered her five men to drive the carriage to send them away. After sending these handsome men away, Gu Chan went upstairs to the warehouse and counted the spoils of last night. A dozen handsome men brought out more than a dozen boxes of silver notes, and five boxes were given to them. Now there are eight boxes left in the warehouse. Each box of silver notes contains at least 50,000 taels. If you calculate it this way, there are at least 400,000 taels of silver here. Add to that the box of priceless spiritual herbs she stole last night, it was worth at least 100,000 taels of silver. In other words, she made a lot of money this time! Just as she was calculating the money and feeling very happy, Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng walked in. The two of them stood next to Gu Chan, and Ouyang Wan'er said directly, "Husband, tell me the truth, where did you get so much money last night?" "Yeah, boss. If you don't tell us, we'll always feel uneasy." Ma Zheng also followed suit. Gu Chan did not hide anything and told the two of them everything about how Xu Renjie hired a killer to kill her last night and she used the same tactic against him. After listening to this, all their doubts were resolved. Ouyang Wan'er said with a worried look on her face, "My husband, you made such a big fuss last night and even burned the Xu family's treasure house. If Xu Renjie betrays you, won't the head of the Xu family bring people to cause trouble for you?" "Don't worry, Xu Renjie is a coward. I'm sure he doesn't dare to tell the truth to his mother. Otherwise, the Xu family suffered so much loss last night, and even the dozen handsome men raised by his mother were stolen by me. If she knew that this disaster was caused by her precious son, wouldn't she beat him to death?" Gu Chan knew Xu Renjie thoroughly. The reason why she dared to do so much last night was that she was sure that Xu Renjie would not dare to talk nonsense, and with Xu Renjie's temper, he would definitely pretend to know nothing and keep himself out of it, otherwise his mother would definitely be the first to deal with him. When Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng heard what Gu Chan said, they both nodded, thinking that it made sense.
Ma Zheng turned and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do with all this money now?" "According to the old rules at the border, we will divide up the 100,000 taels of silver and deliver them to the poor people in the refugee area one by one at night," said Gu Chan. "Or in the name of Batman?" Ma Zheng asked curiously. Gu Chan chuckled, "Last night, the loyal descendant of Wei Xing has now taken over the title of Batman, so let him take over first! From what I've seen of that guy, he's not a bad guy, so it would be a good idea to recruit him to serve you in the future." "Hmph! It was obviously you, boss, who created the Batman who robs the rich and helps the poor when you were at the border, but he took advantage of me instead. I really don't accept it. If I had known earlier, I would have taken up the name." Ma Zheng complained angrily. Gu Chan reached out and patted his forehead, scolding, "Do you have that ability? He is at least a second-level magician, so he still has some strength. Moreover, his father is the former Minister of Rites of Tiancang Kingdom. After all, he is from an official family. You can't compare with him. Just do your job well." "In the future, I will also work hard to make myself stronger and strive to become an official one day." Ma Zheng said indignantly. Gu Chan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said to Ouyang Wan'er, "Wan'er, go shopping with Grandma Ding and find a bigger shop with a better location. You will have to run our newly opened tailor shop with her." "Okay! I'll go right away." Ouyang Wan'er said happily. After saying that, she immediately left the treasury happily and called Ding Meihua to go shopping outside. Gu Chan stared at Ma Zheng and ordered, "Don't just sit there. Go to the Shen Mansion in the wealthy area and ask your godfather to send someone to get the money. By the way, secretly inquire about the movements of the Xu Mansion so that I can prepare for the situation." "Yes, boss." Ma Zheng responded obediently and left. After he left, Gu Chan left the treasure house, locked the door, and then went back to her room to sleep with peace of mind. She didn't sleep last night and is now very tired. On the other side, the fire in the Xu family’s treasury was not put out until noon. The head of the Xu family was furious about this and sent people everywhere to investigate the situation, but found nothing. After Xu Renjie woke up, he saw how serious last night's incident had been and how angry his mother was. He was so scared that he shrank into the room and dared not come out. When the head of the Xu family sent someone to ask him questions, he stayed indoors on the pretext of catching a cold and did not dare to mention anything about Gu Chan to my mother. The servants who knew about this last night were so scared that they huddled in the backyard and buried their heads in their work, pretending that they knew nothing. In the end, the head of the Xu family had no choice but to issue a reward to the public, offering a large reward to anyone who could provide her with clues about the thief who burned her treasure house. For a time, the entire Zhongyuan City was in an uproar because of the thief in the Xu family. But no one knew which thief was so bold as to attack the Xu family, one of the three major families in Zhongyuan City. (End of this chapter)
