Without that scorching sight, Tao Tao was much easier to move again.

She first looked at the keyhole in the box, then selected the appropriate tool from the box, poked into the keyhole and moved, trying to find the bolt.

This kind of keyhole, as long as the bolt can be opened, it can basically be opened.

It's not that the box Chen Ya is looking for is a defective product, but Chen Ya can't imagine that someone in this world can really open his box without relying on the key.

In Chen Ya's eyes, the boxes and locks he prepared were generally impossible for anyone to open, even those thieves couldn't do anything with the box.

It's a pity that he met Tao Tao from another world.

The surroundings were very quiet, Tao Tao listened to the movement of the tool in the keyhole, and soon she heard a 'click', which was the movement of the bolt being pushed open, her eyes lit up, and she pulled out the tool in her hand.

"Alright."

All right?

Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows in surprise, but before he could ask, he saw Tao Tao smiling and lifting the box in front of him, and really opened the box!

After the box was opened, there was no movement that should not have appeared.

Xiao Zhi's face was a little unpleasant, he couldn't help but reach out and pull Tao Tao over, glaring at Tao Tao angrily, "Who asked you to open the box?!" ”

"The lock is open, and you can't open it yourself! What if there's something like a cold arrow hidden in the box? Your life is gone now!

The man seemed to be angry, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he looked strange and scary.

Tao Tao reflected deeply, Xiao Zhi's scolding was not unreasonable, she was indeed reckless just now.

Thinking so, Tao Tao leaned in flatteringly and dropped a kiss on Xiao Zhi's lips, "Okay, I know it's wrong, don't be angry." ”

"Besides, isn't it okay now, I promise that it won't be next time?"

"Humph! Is your guarantee still worth the money? Xiao Zhi's face did not ease much, because he knew very well that Tao Tao did not really feel that he was wrong, she was just seeing him angry now, and she confessed her mistake to him in order to coax him.

Tao Tao stuck out her tongue mischievously, then grabbed Xiao Zhi's arm with her backhand and shook it lightly, "Oh, I'm not okay now?" The box is open, let's see what's inside! ”

At this point, Xiao Zhi is holding on, which is a little rude.

Xiao Zhi understood what Tao Tao meant, and sneered: "This time you are lucky, next time you will not have such good luck!" ”

"Okay, good, so I said I promise there will be no next time!" Tao Tao blinked and leaned in with his relatives again.

Xiao Zhi's cold face turned to a cold face, but the kiss on Tao Tao had no intention of avoiding it at all, until Tao Tao felt that he was padding his feet and his feet were starting to be sore, so he reluctantly stopped continuing the topic.

"Remember your promise just now, and next time, don't blame me for breaking your hand and making you dishonest!" Xiao Zhi glanced menacingly at Tao Tao's hands.

Tao Tao got goosebumps on his hands when he saw Xiao Zhi's glance, and hurriedly nodded in response, "Okay, I know, quickly take back your gaze on my hands!" ”

"Let's see what's in the box." Xiao Zhi retracted his gaze and looked at the box that was now opened.

Tao Tao subconsciously wanted to reach over and reach out to take out the contents of the box, Xiao Zhi noticed Tao Tao's actions, and reflexively grabbed the person with his backhand to prevent her from moving.

"How?" Tao Tao looked back at Xiao Zhi in puzzlement, he pulled her like this, how could she take out the things in the box and take a look?

Xiao Zhi glared at Tao Tao, "What else do you ask?" You're not afraid of hiding drugs in it! ”

"Hahaha, have you forgotten that I am an ancestor who can play with drugs?" Tao Tao laughed loudly, and continued while laughing: "I have already smelled that there is no poison in this box from the moment I opened it. ”

"Don't worry, there's no poison in there."

Xiao Zhi's face froze, or was he making too much fuss?

"Ahem, you opened the lock, I'll take the things." After that, Xiao Zhi didn't give Tao Tao a chance to refuse, so he reached into the box and took out the contents of the box.

Anyway, his body is already poisonous, even if there is another one, it will be fine, with Tao Tao, he can't die.

When Tao Tao reacted, the thing was already in Xiao Zhi's hand, so it was difficult to say anything, so he had to let himself focus on the thing in his hand.

It was a thin-looking booklet, with a quaint cover but nothing written on it.

"Open it and see what's written in it, I look at this booklet as if it's a ledger or something." Tao Tao urged Xiao Zhi to do it, and he didn't mean to do it himself.

Xiao Zhi couldn't wait for Tao Tao not to do anything, he hurriedly opened the booklet as he said, and sure enough, he saw that there were dense names of people recorded on it, and how much silver was written on the back of each person's name.

"What do you mean by this man and silver?" Tao Tao frowned, she didn't know any of the names on this booklet, which meant that these people were not officials.

Neither are they officials, nor do they look like merchants, after all, the silver that follows their names is so small that it is impossible for a trader to have only this bit of silver in his hands.

Xiao Zhi twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and his heart sank, "Do you remember what Wu Mo said earlier that someone in Aoki County was training troops, right?" ”

"You mean these people all signed up to join the army? But no, what is the silver after their names? Tao Tao's brows furrowed a little tighter, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Xiao Zhi quickly flipped through the booklet, and roughly estimated that the number of names recorded in this booklet was about three thousand, and the cost was nearly ten thousand taels of silver, and an idea in his heart gradually took shape.

"Hush money."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Tao Tao looked at Xiao Zhi in astonishment, did he know what he was talking about just now?

People who want to join the army these days are generally extremely poor and have to go, and people like this generally only need to give some benefits to make them keep their mouths shut about certain things, and they don't need to spend so much money at all!

Xiao Zhi hooked his lips and sneered, "Some people, they are not greedy enough, these are two-headed dogs!" ”

"No, Chen Ya has that guts?" Tao Tao felt that this matter was somewhat magical, Chen Ya was facing the second prince, not an ordinary person!

Xiao Zhi pointed to the silver behind the name on the booklet with a cold face, "Do you think these people will not spend so much silver to seal their mouths, so whose pocket do you think the silver saved in them has gone into?" ”

"In a huge Aoki County, Chen Ya wantonly looted the people's fat and people's ointment, and gave it to the second prince in order to be able to catch the second prince's boat, doesn't he feel sorry for the silver that was given?"

"He is distressed, so he will try his best to get back the silver from the second prince's hand!"
