TOP ASSASSIN RETIRES AND BECOMES A FARMER AFTER TIME TRAVELING TO THE PAST

61-80

Chapter 61
On her way home, Wu Auntie was both happy and afraid.

She was happy because she had won a big prize. The silver and copper coins in her arms were enough to cover her family's food and clothing for half a year. She was afraid because she knew some people would be envious when they saw her win such a big prize, and some might even harbor evil intentions.

Moreover, ahead was a small grove where there were few people. If something happened there...

"Stop right there!"

Suddenly a loud shout made Wu Auntie jump in fright. She turned around in panic to find two men with their faces covered in black cloth. Her soul nearly jumped out of her body.

This was exactly what she had feared!

"Good...good sirs...what do you want?"

"What do we want?" Housekeeper A grinned evilly. "Hand over all your money!"

"I don't have any money!" Wu Auntie was about to cry. "I'm just a poor old woman, where would I get money from..."

"Still pretending?" Housekeeper B said. "You think the big prize you won at the Li's Luxury Shop was really just given to you for nothing?"

Li's Luxury Shop?

Wu Auntie was stunned. "You...you were sent by Ms. Li to take back the big prize she gave away?"

"Humph, you're not that stupid after all," Housekeeper A said. "Hand the money back quickly, and we might spare your life! Otherwise, this grove will become your burial ground!"

Seeing the vicious look in the two men's eyes, endless despair rose up in Wu Auntie. Visitt nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

She knew it was too good to be true. How could anyone give her so much money for no reason?

Since they were sent by Ms. Li, she should just give the money back. It was never hers to begin with anyway.

"Alright, I'll give it back to you."

"Wise choice."

With weak limbs, Wu Auntie took out the silver ingots and copper coins from her pocket.

Just as the two housekeepers got the money and were about to flee, two bailiffs suddenly leapt out from the nearby woods, pressing their bare blades against the housekeepers' necks.

The icy cold blade pressed against their skin, scaring the two housekeepers so much that they squeezed their eyes shut and begged for their lives.

"Spare us...spare us..."

"Take the money, just let us go!"

"Want to leave? It won't be so easy."

Just then, Zhang County Captain walked out from the woods, looking majestic as he came before the two men.

"Open your dog eyes and see who we are!"

The two housekeepers opened their eyes, only to see the man in front of them dressed in official robes - it was none other than Zhang County Captain from the county government!

Damn it!

Why would a county captain come to a godforsaken place like this?

"Captain Zhang, this is a misunderstanding..."

"What misunderstanding?" Zhang County Captain loudly rebuked as he ripped the black cloth off the two men's faces. "You two scoundrels dare to brazenly commit robbery in broad daylight. And now that you've been caught red-handed by me, you still dare to make excuses?"
