face grabbed a short knife and, with the three others, slipped out of Liu's house under the cover of darkness, hurrying toward Yang Lin's home.It was still an hour before dawn, the time when people ar...This place is also a cave. The entrance isn't deep, but there's a large rock blocking it outside. Around the mouth of the cave, waist-high weeds grow abundantly, making it very hidden.

Approaching quickly, Yang Lin was startled once again.

At this moment, the guard squad is struggling to carry a large wooden chest out of the cave!

From the effort those two were putting in, you could tell that this crate was extremely heavy.

And outside the cave opening, a box that had been carried out earlier was already open.

Inside, there was a box full of gleaming silver!

Upon seeing Yang Lin, the guards excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Lin, we found them! These must be the silver coins the bandits hid. There are many treasure chests inside!"

Yang Lin hurriedly led people into the cave.

The cave wasn't deep. After walking ten or so meters and taking a turn, you reached the end.

At the end of the stone wall, there were several large wooden boxes.

Yang Lin counted, including the ones that had already been taken out, there were a total of twelve mouths!

He stepped forward and opened one at random. Inside, it was filled with silver too!

That's great!

Yang Lin let out a long sigh.

If we can't find this silver, it's not a huge loss, but it would be a shame.

And now, to find these silver coins, the Black Wind Mountain battle would be perfect!

Immediately, Yang Lin led people to carry all the boxes outside and opened them one by one to inspect their contents.

These twelve chests, mostly containing silver, also hold some gold, jewels, precious stones, antiques, jade, and pearls.

These treasures must have been looted by bandits.

At this moment, under the sunlight, the abundance of gold and silver is so dazzling that even the guards are staring in amazement.

We're all just poor commoners. Don't even talk about seeing it, we wouldn't even dare dream of such luxury!

At this moment, everyone's eyes shone with excitement, gazing longingly at the mountains of gold and silver.

However, although everyone was dazzled by the gold and silver, in the end, all eyes were on Yang Lin.

"Brother Lin, this silver..."

The little guard just opened his mouth, but before he could finish his sentence, Kong Liang slapped him on the back of the head.

What are you thinking about! All this silver belongs to Brother Lin!

Kong Liang stared at the young man and then scanned the rest of the group. "We are all members of the security detail, and the security detail belongs to Brother Lin! Brother Lin pays us wages, but besides that, we can't have any ulterior motives! No matter how big the harvest is, we must not forget our roots!"

All the guards shook their heads.

"No, no."

"Brother Lin has already treated us well, why are we being greedy"

"I swear, I definitely didn't covet this silver!"

"Don't worry, Liang Ge, we all understand."

The young man, who had just been slapped by Kongliang, also said委屈ly: "Brother Liang, you're wronging me! I didn't even think about the silver. So much silver, how dare I Just now, I just wanted to make a joke and ask Brother Lin, since we earned so much silver, are we getting bonuses again"

"Oh, is that so Well, good."

Kong Liang's face flushed red, he scratched his head and continued, "As for the bonus, Brother Lin has never treated us badly, has he We just joined the security team not long ago, we haven't done anything outstanding yet, but we already received a bonus once. So you kid just put your heart at ease. Right, Brother Lin"

Kǒng Liàng looked at Yáng Lín.

The rest of them were also looking at Yang Lin, giggling. Yang Lin also smiled: "As the old saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts! The ancients also said that sharing difficulties is easy, but sharing wealth is difficult! That's why I was really worried just now that you would fight over this silver when you saw it."

"Such a large sum of money, if not handled properly, could easily lead us to become enemies! That would be a terrible loss."

"But now I feel at ease, since none of you have any objections, I shall handle these silver coins."

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating they had no objections.

Yang Lin continued, "I'm not greedy for money. It doesn't matter to me how much I have, as long as it's enough!"

"These silver coins were looted from the people's hard-earned sweat and blood. If I used this money to enjoy myself, I would feel uneasy."

The silver looted by the bandits was distributed in part, squandered in part, and the remaining portion, although seemingly abundant, if directly given to the surrounding populace, would be little better than nothing.

“Taking from the people and using for the people, I plan to use this money to develop industries and hire more people. It's better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish. Only when everyone has stable and well-paying jobs can everyone's life get better!”

Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, the members of the bodyguard team were also invigorated.

Listen up, what Lin Ge said! This is what it means to have vision!

Kōng Liàng raised his thumb: “We only think about living a good life ourselves, but what Brother Lín wants to do is make everyone live a good life!”

Everyone's eyes shone with admiration for Yang Lin, their respect for him deepened by a few more points.

Yang Lin also couldn't help but sigh.

That's because they are simple and kind. If they were in a previous life, encountering this situation, it would be a miracle if their host could have survived!

Who cares if you benefit the people!

As for this time, I remember everyone's contributions. When we get back, we'll reward you all. Everyone will have a bonus! Yang Lin announced.

The crowd cheered again.

>Under normal circumstances, this silver would be confiscated by the authorities.

But everyone understands that what's called "confiscation" doesn't go into the treasury of the Great Han Dynasty. Instead, it ends up lining the pockets of these petty officials in the county.

In Jiangxia County, Zhou and Zhao families took the lead!

So, unless Yang Lin has gone mad, there's no way he would hand over this money.

"By the way, Liang Ge, when you shouted "found it" before, was it a little girl that you found" someone asked.

When Yang Lin and Kong Liang heard these three words, their faces changed instantly.

What's wrong

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"We found two skeletons! Right over there." Kong Liang pointed in that direction. "One of them, a child's, had the red string on its wrist, just like Lin Ge said!"

When Kong Liang explained like that, the rest of the people were no longer calm. Even in the middle of summer, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is the will of heaven!"

"How do you say that" Yang Lin asked.

"Lin Ge, think about it. If it weren't for that little girl, we wouldn't have found the silver hidden by the bandits; and if it weren't for us, the revenge for those killed by the bandits would never have been carried out."

Once Qin Shuang said that, the rest of the people also came to their senses.

Yeah, the mountain is so big, the cave is deep in the woods and so hidden. If they hadn't been looking for the little girl, they would never have stumbled upon it!

At the thought of this, everyone unconsciously shivered again.

Qin Shuang continued, "Perhaps we avenged them, and they are grateful to us, so they guided us and led us to this silver."

Yang Lin also sighed.

He didn't believe in ghosts and spirits, he thought that perhaps it was all just his own illusion.

But he believes that evil will eventually be punished, it's just a matter of time!er, their speed couldn't possibly surpass that of a crossbow bolt."Purple-clothed maiden, you best return inside your room, or else do not blame me if the arrow in my hand does not have eyes!""I'm wor...
