Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 290: Chapter 175 Strip Him for Me_2 Chapter 290: Chapter 175 Strip Him for Me_2 Gu Changsheng barely caught it and looked closely.

With this look, a smile blooming like spring flowers spread even more brightly across her face.

Goodness!

This was truly a full-blown rich spoiled character, casually handing over big-denomination silver notes, a whole pile of them!

She clearly remembered the treasure seal of the Tongbao Money House, and had seen the two-thousand-tael silver notes before, but this was twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver!

Absolute real gold and silver!

“Hmm?” Gu Changsheng quickly tucked the stack of silver notes into her own bosom, the surgical knife dropped into her hand, the blade gleaming with a chilling light.

“Uh…” As soon as Gu Changsheng flashed her tool, Zhou Zongbao’s face changed, and he hurriedly covered his throat.

Mommy! Too frightening!

With the surgical knife swinging in hand, Gu Changsheng’s lips curved into a smile as she slowly, emphatically dragged out each word, “Only the wise can recognize the situation, huh…”

Zhou Zongbao got the hint immediately–how could he not understand such logic?

The “wise man” was very cooperative, hurriedly reaching into his wide sleeves and fumbling around, soon handing over another stack of silver notes.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes opened wide!

Goodness!

He actually had more!

She just wanted to scare him a bit, and had never expected that this fellow really had more silver on him!

She flipped through the notes in her hand, and just like before, it was another batch of silver notes worth over twenty thousand taels!

Now Gu Changsheng was really intrigued, her eyes bright and fixed on Zhou Zongbao, “They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, got any more?”

“No…” Zhou Zongbao was about to say he had no more when he caught a sharp glance from Gu Changsheng’s eyes, and hastily changed his tune, “Yes! Yes!”

As he spoke, he removed his pair of aqua satin boots with pink soles, clumsily, awkwardly pulling something out and offering it with shaking hands.

“Aren’t you disgusted? This came from the sole of the shoe…”

“You’re already not disgusted, are you?” Gu Changsheng snatched the two silver notes from him and stood up.

Alright then!

Still from Tongbao Money House, but this time not silver notes, gold banknotes!

One thousand-tael gold notes!

According to the exchange rate of one tael of gold for ten of silver, damn, this is a glaring ten thousand taels of silver!

Plundered thrice, and she plundered more than fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver!

Can you believe it?

Gu Changsheng’s eyes turned a real greedy red!

Tycoon, oh! This is what you call a genuine tycoon!

Comparable to a walking Money Manor of a tycoon, oh!

Suddenly excited, Gu Changsheng twirled the surgical knife in her palm, creating a few blossoms of blades, and in a flash had it positioned at Zhou Zongbao’s throat.

Seeing this, Han Qiu nervously took a step forward.

“I say, Young Master Zhou, blades are blind, it’s precious to be self-aware… Got any more?” Rare to encounter such a spendthrift, once past this village there won’t be such a shop again, Gu Changsheng would be foolish to let go!

Zhou Zongbao raised his hands in surrender, his face pale as he glanced at the glistening blade at his throat.

Regret was eating him up inside…

Why on earth had he not been able to restrain himself, leading him to tease her like that?

Wandering between the lakes and seas every day, he never imagined he’d capsize in a gutter today!

And why couldn’t he bear a little hardship, failing to practice his martial arts diligently?

Even if he didn’t practice martial arts, he should at least have honed his qinggong skills, so that in times of crisis he could have escaped, but now, he was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others!

“You… what you said, huh, ‘A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists.’ Can’t we just talk this out, is that alright?” Zhou Zongbao was on the verge of tears.

“You were the one who started the fight!” Gu Changsheng glanced at the several guards he had taken down, his eyebrow raised, “Actions speak louder than words! Actually, I don’t mind playing the villain at all. As the saying goes, ‘A gentleman is open and candid, while a villain is often distressed.’ As long as there is silver, I’m willing to be distressed!”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, he pushed forward the scalpel in his hand a bit more.

A cold chill from the blade touched his neck, causing Zhou Zongbao’s hairs to stand on end, his face instantly drained of color, turning ashen white, “I have silver! I have silver! I still have silver!”

While saying that, Zhou Zongbao carefully raised his head and plucked out the hairpin from his hair crown, tremblingly handing it over.

Gu Changsheng received it with a look of surprise and doubt, turning it over in his hands for a closer inspection.

The purple-gold hairpin, with its body wrapped in a pattern of flourishing branches, signifying thriving splendor, and a mythical creature at the head clutching a pearl in its mouth, was exquisitely crafted and obviously very valuable.

Gu Changsheng stood up, turning the hairpin over and over again in his hand.

Where’s the silver?

Ancients were skilled at adding secret compartments!

There must be more to this hairpin!

Gu Changsheng fiddled with it this way and that until he finally rested a finger on the pearl in the mythical creature’s mouth.

Applying a clever force, he flicked it to the side!

With a crisp “snap!” the pearl, about the size of a thumb, was ejected from the mouth of the mythical creature!

Gu Changsheng caught the ejected pearl and peered into the mouth of the mythical creature.

At that look, her face broke into a smile befitting a blooming flower.

Her guess had been spot on!

As she suspected, the hairpin contained a hidden mechanism, and its body was actually hollow!

“Han Qiu, strip him down, search him thoroughly both inside and out!” Gu Changsheng, drawing out a roll of silver notes hidden within the body of the hairpin with her scalpel, instructed Han Qiu with great joy.

Damn it! Another tube made of a thousand-tael gold banknotes!

Right now, Gu Changsheng really, really wanted to ask this spendthrift if his family owned a money house!

This was simply too rich, too envious and too maddening!

“Strip… strip… strip me?” Hearing this, Zhou Zongbao panicked, covering the front of his chest with his hands, incredulously looking at Gu Changsheng, “Are you even a woman? I gave you silver, why would you strip me?”

Could it be that he had not only encountered a robbery but also a molestation?

Wuu… had he not consulted a fortune before leaving home, facing an unlucky year?

“How would I know if you have more hiding spots if I don’t strip search you?” Gu Changsheng said with a wicked smirk, tilting her chin up at him, her expression full of playful ripples.

Silver! Her favorite thing was silver!

“Han Qiu, make it quick!” an elated Gu Changsheng waved the silver notes at Han Qiu, urging her to hurry.

Han Qiu stood there, her expression as cold as ice, hesitating with furrowed brows.

Zhou Zongbao, clutching his shirtfront, finally looked her straight in the eye with wary eyes…
