Chapter 496: Ill-gotten Wealth
When sleepiness comes, humans often cannot control themselves.
Of course, this is limited to ordinary people like Banqiu.
Although she was very scared and could see the bloody scene as long as she closed her eyes, she still couldn't control her physical feelings and fell asleep.
Looking at her lying on the bed, Su Lin smiled helplessly.
There was only one hour left before dawn, and the kitchen of this post station was busy.
The innkeeper kept wiping his sweat, but it was cold sweat, which was completely scared by Su Lin.
In this time, even if he practiced to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be useless.
Su Lin simply closed his eyes and rested on the first floor, so as to supervise the innkeeper to prevent him from taking chances and secretly making moves.
Otherwise, it would be a big joke if he capsized in the gutter!
This place has been cleaned up, and the bodies of those warriors have all been dragged outside and buried, so it doesn't look disgusting at all.
At this moment, Su Lin noticed that there were several large wooden boxes piled up in the corner next to the counter.
They were placed randomly, as they could even block part of the aisle. That was why Su Lin didn't notice them because he was focused on the warriors.
According to the brain circuit of ordinary people, unless they were sloppy, how could they place things like this?
So, Su Lin must have something hidden in it.
Could it be the things of those warriors?
It can be guessed that they arrived before Su Lin and then carried the boxes in. Who knew that "uninvited guests" would come, and there was no time to clean them up.
Su Lin was suspicious, but he didn't check the boxes immediately, but continued to observe the innkeeper's every move quietly.
Sure enough, he found something.
Although the innkeeper was busy making pancakes, his eyes always subconsciously glanced at the box.
Seeing this, Su Lin instantly had a clue.
So he went to the kitchen and said in a yin-yang tone: "Oh, this pancake is really fragrant, but I don't know if it is poisonous?"
The innkeeper's mind was not here, and he didn't know where he had flown to.
This sudden sentence scared him to death.
He knelt on the ground subconsciously and defended himself: "Sir, even if you lend me a hundred courage, I dare not poison it!"
Seeing him like this, Su Lin couldn't help laughing secretly, so that he could get more things out of him.
"Really? Then I saw you were absent-minded just now, don't you have something to hide?"
The innkeeper knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, the scene of Su Lin killing seven or eight warriors was imprinted in his mind, it was so straightforward.
How could he have any evil intentions?
So he immediately explained: "Sir, in fact, I have something to hide, I hope you can atone for your sins."
"Oh? Then you have to listen to whether it is worth your life."
The innkeeper kowtowed in fear, and then ran to the side of the big wooden boxes while explaining.
When it was opened, a golden light instantly hit Su Lin's face.
He was stunned.
"You mean, those warriors are escorting these gold, silver and jewelry?"
Su Lin walked to the box and touched it with his hand. The system did not respond at all. This was not a system crash, but probably meant that the value was limitless.
"You mean, they were escorting from Lincheng County? But what about the destination?"
The innkeeper shook his head vigorously. He explained weakly: "I really don't know. I just received news from above. All the post stations along the way have to be taken care of."
Su Lin's heart was full of questions.
From his words, it seemed that those warriors were all officials? Otherwise, who could order the post stations along the way to treat them like this?
He picked up a gold ingot and checked the bottom, but there was no official mark.
According to Su Lin's knowledge, in the ancient world, gold and silver were generally under the control of the government. If they came from the government, there would be a mark.
But obviously, these were not.
Several boxes full of them came from Lincheng County? There must be some secret hidden in them, otherwise there would be no need to go to great lengths.
"Hmph, it must be dirty money, otherwise why are you doing it so secretly?"
Su Lin wanted to pocket all of it through the system bank, but the system didn't respond at all at this time.
"It's useless at the critical moment!" He spat on the ground.
With his current strength, it would be easy to lift these boxes and travel, but they were so large that they were very annoying.
It might not take long before they would attract all forces to come, and even the bandits on both sides of the road would have to be taken care of.
All he could do was watch them lying here.
Su Lin shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, as the saying goes, if you are destined to have it, you will have it, and if you are not destined to have it, don't force it."
His current strength is not enough. If he angers the government and provokes a stronger person, it would be an unprovoked disaster.
An hour passed quickly, and the sun rose with the crowing of the rooster at the post station.
At this time, Banqiu was still asleep, and Su Lin couldn't bear to take chances, so he prepared the gifts for traveling in advance.
Coming to the yard, Su Lin looked at the vehicles locked in the stable and felt that it was a gift from God.
So he asked the post station owner to bring out two horses, and Su Lin jumped on them flexibly and tried to ride them.
He imitated the ancient people in the TV series, "Go!"
But the horses under his buttocks did not move, which made him quite angry.
The innkeeper next to him was still worried, "Sir, you have never ridden a horse, right? Hold it tight with your legs, and then shout."
Sure enough, the horse started running.
It only took a moment for Su Lin to control it, after all, he was even stronger than the horse.
It was like riding a bicycle, and when you encounter an obstacle that you can't get over, you just lift it up and walk.
Seeing that the sun was getting high, Su Lin had no choice but to wake up Ban Qiu, but it wasn't that he thought it was a waste of time.
It was just that this was a government inn after all, and there was a chaos last night, and seven or eight people lost their lives. What if they were investigated?
Ban Qiu rubbed his hazy eyes, and saw that Su Lin had already prepared everything, and suddenly felt that he was holding back.
"I'm sorry, brother Su Lin." Look at her aggrieved look.
Su Lin felt embarrassed, so he held the horse and shouted, "Why are you talking about this?"
"Did you sleep well? Let's go, walk forward, and rest if we find a place to stay."
Ban Qiu walked to the two horses, stroked them, and thought about where she came from, but seeing the attentive look on the face of the post station owner, she didn't say much.
Su Lin, who was standing aside, looked at her with surprise.
"You, seem to be able to ride a horse?"
Ban Qiu stepped on the stirrups skillfully, flipped over and jumped, and directly grabbed the reins.
This look was as cool as a female knight.
