Chapter 23 The money is in hand
Soon after, the thief Jero, whose wounds were healed, quickly brought back his four companions.
Among these four companions, three men and one woman, one of the three men, one is tall and strong, good at using heavy axe, and the one with a scar on his face is Johnson, nicknamed the Big Axe Johnson, a one-eyed man who is good at using bows and arrows is Leondo, and a short man who is good at digging traps is named Rudom, nicknamed the Dwarf Dom. As for the only black-haired female thief with a hot body, I don’t know the real name, because he is good at using poison and has an unpredictable temper, he is called the femme fatale, nicknamed the "Snake Girl".
In addition, the oldest thief Jero, who is considered the eldest of the four of them, and the capable team of these five people made Zhou Ming sigh that this is simply a golden combination of robbery and killing people and robbing treasures.
For a moment, Zhou Ming had the urge to join this combination.
However, this was just a moment of impulse. He would not join this group unless he had no choice.
Before the action, after a brief greeting in the dense forest, Zhou Ming took out three drawings from his pocket.
The first one is a road map for sneaking into Rose Town. According to this road map, one can avoid the sight of the castle guards, and two can reach the target location as fast as possible.
The second picture is the layout of the housekeeper Bunode in Qiangwei Town. This picture was found by Zhou Ming through the opportunity to send things to Bunode's house. Just a glance was made and he drew out the location of the dog circle, room layout, and possible treasures in his brain, and marked the route of action.
The third picture is how to carry out treasure transportation routes after the treasure is successful. He estimated that at least hundreds of gold coins and thousands of silver coins would be kept in Bunode's house. The gold and silver property would weigh hundreds of kilograms together. So he suggested that each of the five of them would carry a cloth bag that could hold 20 kilograms of objects, and then open the door and leave from the backyard of Bunode's house after putting it in the treasure.
Zhou Ming was waiting in the backyard, responsible for the wind.
"Little guy, how did you know that the housekeeper Bunoder will have a lot of treasures? And it will be hidden under his bed. Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
The snake girl stared at these three pictures and couldn't agree with Zhou Ming's overly subjective action plan.
Zhou Ming explained: "There will definitely be a lot of treasures. I dare to conclude that Bunold must have embezzled a lot of the lord's property over the years, because the lord does not care whether the territory's annual income increases or decreases. All these things are controlled by the butler Bunold. Moreover, compared with ten years ago, the output of the Glen is enough for Baron Connor to train 15-20 knights, but it is still only about 12, and the knights' equipment has not been significantly upgraded. It is estimated that only Bunold knows what the money has gone..."
"In addition, with the butler Bunode's greedy, stingy and cautious personality, he will not be assured of this property, unless he puts it on his own, not far from him, and can be touched at all times... It just so happened that Bunode was holding a comfortable and safe castle room and had to go back to the town's residence to rest every day. I think that except for people like him who are a slave-guarding person, others will not make such strange moves, so if you go to grab Bunode, you will never make any mistakes!"
Looking at Zhou Ming who was well-reasoned and talked endlessly, the thief Jero and others looked at each other.
Is this little guy in front of me really a sixteen-year-old guy?
"Little guy, we did what you said!"
The thief Jero made the final decision.
So, on a night when the moon was covered by dark clouds, a group of six people took advantage of the dark night to touch the house of the butler Bunode.
The most difficult thing to deal with is the guard dogs guarding the house. As long as there is a little movement, these dogs will bark wildly, alarm the owners in the house and lead to failure in action.
It is also easy to deal with these guard dogs. They throw in a few poison-swept bones. The dog's nose is very good. Without specialized training on anti-stranger feeding, they smell the fragrance and quickly gnaw the bones.
An hour later, after no sound of the whining sound of the wardrobe in the yard, five thieves took adult ladders and sent people into the front yard to open the gate. The five people followed the route on the drawings and quickly touched the butler Bunode's bedroom.
The snake girl covered Bunod's mouth and nose with a piece of pyrene sapphire juice that made people feel unconscious for a while, and after he entered a coma, the treasure that Bunod hid under the bed was presented to the eyes of the thief Jero and others with great temptation.
Unexpectedly.
A full six boxes of treasures!
One box stores nearly a thousand gold coins, and four boxes, all of which are silver coins, each box has as many as thousands.
There is also a box filled with all kinds of valuable gems such as emerald stones, amber rings, and agate stones, as well as a small number of pearls, tortoiseshell and other treasures produced by the southern seaside.
The weight of these gold and silver coins, gems and pearls is nearly 150 kilograms. Each of the thiefs, Jero, carried a heavy treasure of nearly 30 kilograms on his body, slowly passing through the back door of the house and disappeared into the quiet night.
After succeeding, he piled up treasures and discussed the sharing of the spoils in the dense forest. The thief Jero suggested: give one-third of these treasures to Zhou Ming, who had the greatest contribution.
None of the other four people opposed it. After all, even if the remaining two-thirds were left, five of them would be fine, and they would have no problem with food and clothing for the rest of their lives. They had no moral bottom line thieves, but when it comes to sharing spoils, they also had to abide by professional ethics, and there was a way to steal them.
Looking at these golden and dazzling treasures, Zhou Ming didn't even feel heartbroken. He pushed them back and shook his head and said, "These treasures are a disaster for me. Take them away. Take them to recruit soldiers and horses, expand their manpower, buy some weapons, and improve your equipment. Don't think about squandering them immediately. You have many better opportunities... Believe me, I can guarantee that you will spend your last big business in a life without worrying about food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about it."
Have no worries about food and clothing for life?
Don't worry about it?
Just your little family...
The five of them looked at each other and wanted to refute and sarcasm, but somehow, they couldn't spit it out when they were at the mouth.
The heart jumped up quickly.
They looked at this little guy blankly for a while again. In this little guy, they seemed to see a big picture that they had never seen before.
...
"my darling!"
"I have worked hard to accumulate treasures for decades!"
"Who is it! It's that bastard, I took all my baby!"
"Bastard! Return my baby back quickly! Return my baby back quickly!!"
"Ah~! Ah~! Ah~!!"
On that day, a scattered cry came from the residence of the town house Butler Bunode.
The crying shocked the world and the ghosts and gods, and the entire Rose Town was heard.
The leaders of the town were extremely surprised. Could it be that the crying sound of slaughtering pigs and sheep was that the housekeeper Bunod died? But when Bunod's parents died, they didn't see him so sad?
I heard him keep calling out baby, baby, etc., is he losing money? He is a stingy person, and only when he loses money, will he make such a painful cry like cutting flesh?
The townspeople were talking, and Zhou Ming hid aside and laughed in his heart. Bunold had suffered a lot this time. Most of his money he earned from embezzlement was not easy to report to the lord, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it in his heart. I guess for a long time, he would be in a state of mental disorder and a mourning examination and approval, right?
