What a fruitful day!

"That's right! When the Qilin God appears tonight, even more money will definitely flow into our laps!"

"It's a pity that we can only have a taste of it, and we can only actually get a tiny bit of it."

The waiters chatted with smiles on their faces as they carried the boxes of money.

After calming down the remaining donors, the Qilin messenger entered the temple with a smile on his face.

"Quickly, bring all the money to the main house so that the esteemed person can examine it before registering it into the treasury."

The waiters nodded respectfully and hurried toward the main house.

Xu Jinhuan followed them, concealing herself, and headed towards the main house. She wanted to see who the mastermind behind this was.

"My lord, we have had a very fruitful day. Please take a look and report back to the capital." The divine messenger knocked respectfully on the door and explained from outside.

There was a response from inside the house very quickly.

"Come in."

The servants carried the boxes, their heads bowed, and walked behind the messenger. Once inside the house, they quietly placed the boxes on the ground.

Xu Jinhuan was already looking at the person sitting in the main seat.

He was a young man dressed in black, with a very ordinary appearance; the kind of person you would easily lose in a crowd.

He looked to be only in his early twenties, yet he carried the bloodthirsty aura unique to assassins.

The young man picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then looked at the group of people standing there, speaking in a calm tone.

"Xiong Zhixuan, I heard that you've been getting quite close to the Zhou family lately? You even took it upon yourself to make some kind of peace and good fortune talisman and give it to the Zhou family's grandson."

Do you know that if something happens to the Zhou family's children later, where will the Qilin God's authority be? Wouldn't your master's carefully laid plans be ruined by you, a mere pawn?

Upon hearing this, the divine messenger Xiong Zhixuan turned pale instantly, knelt on the ground, and loudly defended himself.

"My lord, you have really misunderstood me. My friendship with the Zhou family is also for the sake of my master's great cause!"

The Zhou family is not only the richest family in Tongqiao County, but also one of the top merchants in the entire Jizhou. Once we completely take them down, our master's treasury will be even fuller.

The young man's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, but he still snorted coldly and said, "You know what you're really thinking."

I'll only say this once: your master can elevate you to the heavens, but he can also drag you down to the mud in the blink of an eye. Whether you want to rise to power or return to the slums, you should weigh the options carefully.

Xiong Zhixuan immediately smiled and assured him, "We have no disloyalty to our master and will do our best to complete the tasks assigned to us by you."

The other servants immediately knelt on the ground and swore, "We are loyal to our master and will dedicate ourselves to his cause until our dying breath!"

The young man then raised his hand as if bestowing a favor, "Get up. Didn't you say you had a great haul today? Open the box and let me take a look."

"Yes!" Xiong Zhixuan immediately stood up from the ground and diligently opened several boxes.

The young man remained calm when he saw the silver, until his eyes swept over the rows of gold ingots, at which point his gaze paused.

But he remained calm and asked, "Is there anyone special today?"

"Yes, it's the person who donated a thousand taels of gold." Seeing that the other party was interested, Xiong Zhixuan immediately told him about Xu Jinhuan.

After listening, the young man pondered for a moment, then said as if talking to himself, "To be able to come up with so much money all at once, and to be from the capital, could it be that he's a young master from some powerful family who's gone on a trip?"

After thinking it over carefully, he said to Xiong Zhixuan, "I will personally take a look at this person tonight. If he is indeed a direct descendant of a prominent family in the capital, Xiong Zhixuan, you will have done a great service."

Xiong Zhixuan had initially thought Xu Jinhuan was just a rich sucker and hadn't thought much of it. So after hearing this magistrate's analysis, he couldn't help but get a little excited.

If that person is truly from a prominent family in the capital, we must make him fully believe in the Qilin God before he returns to the capital. He will definitely become a great help to our master.

And perhaps Xiong Zhixuan could seize this opportunity to gain the master's favor and be kept in the capital to work!

After calculating the amount of silver, the young man did not have Xiong Zhixuan and the others store it, but instead replaced it with someone he trusted more.

“You must be hot standing outside all afternoon. Go back and rest. We have more important things to do tonight. Let Xiaoming and the others handle storing the boxes.”

Hearing this, Xiong Zhixuan, though unwilling, had no choice but to hand the matter over to someone else.

After assigning the tasks, the young man began to write something, as if he were sending a message to someone.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at the two people carrying the box, and after confirming that they weren't moving very fast, he threw out a small ball of spiritual energy to mark the box.

In this way, even if she can't see them for a while, she can still find their location using her mental power.

As for her, she should stay in this room for now and see who this person is writing the letter to.

The man wrote quickly, finishing the letter in just a few seconds, while Xu Jinhuan, standing behind him, also read the contents of the letter.

"Master, things in Tongqiao County are going more smoothly than expected. If the plan goes well, this place will be completely your territory in no more than ten days."

Today, a person suspected to be from a prominent family in the capital appeared and donated one thousand taels of gold in hopes of safety. My subordinates will continue the investigation and confirm his identity as soon as possible.

Xu Jinhuan frowned after reading it. The letter was like a riddle, with no crucial information about his identity revealed.

However, one thing is certain: that so-called master must be from the capital and someone caught in the vortex of power.

"Xiao Jiu, I've already disguised this letter. You can take it along with other people's letters and deliver it to the post station. Remember to be casual and don't take it too seriously."

After handing the letter to someone he trusted, the young man gave them earnest instructions.

After receiving the letter, Xiao Jiu went to find other people in the temple to ask if anyone wanted to send a letter.

Unexpectedly, a strong gust of wind blew by, and a branch of a tree broke off and hit him on the head, startling him. The letter in his hand slipped to the ground.

"My goodness, what kind of luck do I have? How could this tree hit me?" Xiao Jiu looked at the tree next to her in disbelief.

Xu Jinhuan had already quietly come to his side and immediately used her invisibility ability to hide the letter. Then she replaced the letter with a blank piece of paper.

When Xiao Jiu bent down to look for the letter, he picked up a switched letter from the ground.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and thought, "By the time this so-called master receives the letter, the matter of the Qilin God should have been resolved. I really want to know his expression when he sees the letter..."
