Chapter 56 Cave, 6 boxes of weapons

Qiao Ran knew that she was venting at this moment, letting out the depression in her heart, so that she would not be depressed in her heart in the future and fall into a knot that could never be untied.

Qiao Ran didn't care about her, and had these women drink poison, and then dragged their bodies to the woods to dig holes and bury them.

After dealing with these heinous people, the others were locked up and let the villagers take turns to guard them. They will think carefully about how to deal with them in the next few days.

There were not many houses in the village. Except for the few houses where the bandits were detained, the others were all occupied by the villagers.

Even the meeting hall was full of people. There were many people in the Qiao family, and they also settled down in the meeting hall.

When she came back, Mrs. Qiao greeted her, "Are you tired, Ranran? Sit down and rest for a while, and let Xing'er Yue'er and the others pat your shoulders."

The four little guys, Qiao Xing and Qiao Yue, immediately gathered around and pulled the eldest sister over, trying to massage her shoulders to relieve her sister's fatigue.

Chen Huiniang, who was putting rice and soup on the table, also greeted her: "Are you hungry, Ranran? Everyone was not full just now. Come here and have some more."

Qiao Ran shook her head: "Grandma, mother, you eat first, I'm full."

She asked: "How are the injured folks doing?"

Mrs. Qiao saw that she was not caring about herself and only cared about others, and she said distressedly: "They applied ointment and drank the concoction you prescribed, and the village chief arranged for them to rest in two houses. You Don’t worry about others, come here and have a rest!”

Qiao Ran nodded and walked over obediently.

However, as soon as she sat down, the village chief came to see her again.

"Girl Ran, the folks have found something, and everyone doesn't know what to do with it. Come and see what to do!"

After the old village chief knew that Qiao Ran had learned a lot of skills from the old god, he subconsciously handed over to Qiao Ran all the things he couldn't solve.

In his opinion, those who can learn from the old immortal must be knowledgeable and talented.

It's better than these country bumpkins who haven't even been to the county town a few times before fleeing, and have never seen anything in the world.

So, whenever there was something he couldn't solve, he subconsciously relied on Qiao Ran.

"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief, I'll let you go."

Qiao Ran stood up after hearing this and followed the old village chief out, wondering what it was that the old village chief didn't know how to deal with.

When they arrived at the place, Qiao Ran couldn't help but feel a headache when she looked at the things in front of her.

This is a cave, probably a warehouse for bandits.

There were not only some bags of food inside, but also several boxes of stuff.

A group of villagers gathered around looking at the boxes of things and discussing.

Seeing the old village chief and Qiao Ran approaching, they all moved out of the way.

Qiao Ran stepped forward and took a look, what a guy!

It was actually six boxes of gleaming broadswords and long swords!

You know, in this era, the control over ironware was very strict. Ironware was very expensive. Only the wealthy people could buy an iron pot. Those without money could only use clay pots and earthenware pots.

The control of knives is very strict. Privately making broadswords and long swords is not allowed in private blacksmith shops.

Kitchen knives with more than two must be reported to the government, and knives and daggers made of one must be reported to the government and inquired about their use.

Now there are six big boxes of dazzling knives and swords here, which is very incredible.

Qiao Ran stepped forward and saw that the broadswords and swords were all of the same style and size. It looked like they were specially customized.

Picking up a big knife and looking around, I saw the word "official" engraved on the handle and body of the big knife, and there were a few small characters next to it.

After careful identification, those small characters are "Prince Ping's Mansion"?

Qiao Ran also didn't expect that these swords could be related to the palace. Could they be a batch of weapons custom-made by some palace for the soldiers and guards?

She couldn't think of a reason. She could only guess that these bandits might have just robbed these weapons when they were robbing them.

But they also knew that the government could not touch things. If the government knew that they had robbed officials and seized so many weapons, they were afraid that the government would immediately send troops to encircle and suppress their small village.

Therefore, they could only hide these things in this cave, and they did not dare to take out these weapons for use.

Qiao Ran also knew that these swords could not be used, otherwise if someone saw them, they would cause endless trouble.

The people do not fight against the officials, and the common people have an inexplicable fear of the officials.

Qiao Ran didn't want to cause trouble, so she said to the old village chief: "Grandpa, these are weapons customized by the government. They must have been robbed and brought up the mountain by these bandits. But they don't dare to take them out and use them, otherwise The government will bring people to destroy them."

When the old village chief and the villagers heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

They don't dare to touch anything belonging to the government.

"Then Ran Yatou, what should you do with these things?"

The old village chief looked at Qiao Ran with helpless eyes.

Qiao Ran was also thinking about what to do.

Seeing her silence, some villagers suggested: "Otherwise we just pretend we didn't see it and leave these things in the cave! It's not us who robbed them anyway."

Another person said: "How about taking this box out, digging a hole and burying it, so as not to create more branches."

Some people looked at these weapons with great reluctance: "There are so many knives and swords! How about we take them away quietly? The swords are too conspicuous, so we will only take big swords, and then find a way to give these official uniform marks to Except, others shouldn’t be able to tell that this is for government use, right?”

Qiao Ran rolled her eyes at the person who spoke and said seriously: "No! Using government weapons without authorization is a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan. Do you want to kill the whole village?"

When the man heard this, he shrank in fear.

He just couldn't bear to part with these swords, but he didn't want to kill himself and the people in the village because of it!

"Then Ran Yatou, what do you think we should do about this?"

The village chief asked Qiao Ran again, and everyone else looked at Qiao Ran eagerly.

These honest farm men didn't know how to deal with such a serious matter.

Qiao Ran thought for a while and said: "We can't touch these weapons. If we do, it will be a serious crime. Before we go down the mountain, we will set a fire to burn down the bandit's stronghold. We will also set a fire in the cave to burn all traces. If we burn them down, others won’t know we’ve been here, and no one will be able to find us if they check in the future.”

In fact, Qiao Ran was very excited about this batch of weapons. In this unfamiliar place, and with a large group of refugees fleeing from famine, it was impossible not to have the ability to protect themselves.

Besides, iron tools are so expensive. If you can find a way to smelt some of these iron tools to make hoes, rakes and other tools for farmers, it would be better than leaving them here!
