6.32 million taels of gold

Suddenly, the neighbor's little brother, Little Radish, came running over quietly. This was the person he had chosen to help last night. He said in a low, nervous voice, "Brother Lin!"

Have you heard? Last night, some of the people selected like us, who were chosen to help, were secretly stealing valuables, intending to take them back with them.

After saying that, Little Radish looked around cautiously and continued tremblingly, "Brother Lin, I just asked the others, and none of them took it."

I heard that if someone is caught stealing money, they'll be taken away and executed—the crime is beheading!

Little Radish pointed to the men being escorted and said, "Scholar Yang and that Woodcutter Fei both secretly took silver, but they were discovered before they could hide it properly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin was shocked. He looked incredulously at Yang Shusheng and Fei Qiaofu, who were being escorted.

How could these two people do such a thing? One is a student, and the other is a woodcutter; they are both honest, kind, and have good reputations!

Xiao Lin stood there, watching the scholar Yang and the woodcutter being escorted away, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

I couldn't help but recall what my father had once told me: "You can't see into someone's heart; be careful in everything you do!"

At this moment, those words echoed in his heart, filling him with deep emotion. He realized that he would have been unable to imagine such a thing if he hadn't seen it today.

Seeing that Yang Shusheng and Fei Qiaofu had their faces down and could not be seen clearly, but did not raise their heads to seek justice, it seemed that the matter was probably true.

Looking gently at the little radish, a feeling I'd never experienced before washed over me—a tenderness and care for young life, as well as an expectation and responsibility for the future of the person I'd chosen.

Looking at the faces, even more youthful than his own, filled with curiosity and bewilderment about the world, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Let's just mind our own business and not let others be misled!"

"Hmm," Little Radish blushed and nodded vigorously.

Little Radish tugged gently at Lin's sleeve, her voice tinged with childish excitement as she whispered, "Brother Lin, have you had breakfast? It was delicious."

At this moment, his eyes were still filled with satisfaction and memories of the free breakfast that was given out, and he couldn't help but swallow.

She lowered her voice again, a hint of worry and expectation in her voice, and whispered, "I secretly saved a meat pie for my younger siblings at home, it should be alright, right?"

She was terrified that her actions would cause trouble for her family!

Upon hearing this, Xiaolin felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He patted Little Radish on the shoulder with a smile and said gently, "Don't worry, it's just a meat pie, nothing will happen."

This is breakfast they gave us; it's not some secret that can't be shared. We can keep a piece for our families, and they won't mind.

He whispered again, "I also saved a piece of meat pie for my little sister!"

They couldn't help but smile at each other and continue working.

At this moment, thinking about the new tax rules that the two of them had mentioned countless times, I couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, thinking, 'In the future, I'll probably be able to eat my fill and even eat better!'

He can even get married!

Suddenly, I felt that the future was full of hope and beauty!

After dealing with some of the matters, Lin Yi realized that these things were even more troublesome than practicing martial arts, so he waited for Captain Guan's army to arrive!

He thought to himself, 'So much silver and gold, I can't possibly count it all by myself. They're rolling in wealth!'

Commander Guan's army arrived as scheduled. Seeing Commander Guan's imposing figure and the orderly ranks of his troops, Lin Yi smiled inwardly, thinking to himself, '

I'm so sorry, I had no idea this was so complicated! I guess I really am getting old!

With a slight smile, he quickly approached Captain Guan and Fang Lin, and softly clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "General Guan, General Fang, there is a lot of silver here. The Demon Slayer Division is currently scattered, and we cannot spare too many people for the time being."

I implore Commander Guan to assist me by sending a detachment of men!

Captain Guan was momentarily taken aback, then nodded slightly, instantly understanding the matter!

He smiled and said, "Envoy Lin, you're too kind. This is fine as it is. However, we are only responsible for guarding money and medicine; we are not skilled in other matters."

Lin Yi thanked him softly, "General Guan, rest assured, although the Demon Slayer Division is short-handed these days, we have taken care of other trivial matters."

Wealth is a powerful motivator; some people are blinded by greed and cannot see things clearly.

The presence of soldiers can also deter restless individuals.

In addition, I also sent a message to the Deputy Chief; I expect the Chief will give instructions soon!

Captain Guan nodded, smiling softly, and said, "Very good!"

Knowing the importance of money and understanding the predicament Lin Yi faced, Lin Yi ultimately underestimated the wealth of an entire prefecture. If he hadn't spent several months in Dalong Prefecture, he wouldn't have known the intricate web of relationships involved!

He glanced at Fang Lin and saw that the other party nodded in acknowledgment, then said softly, "Fang Lin, you should immediately arrange a team of men to assist. The matter of guarding the money is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."

Money easily breeds greed; remain vigilant to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. Anyone who dares to steal will be killed on the spot!

Fang Lin bowed and said, "Yes, General!"

Lin Yi stepped forward and said softly, seemingly unprepared, "There's at least five million taels of silver, and we haven't even finished counting it yet. The gold is estimated to be more than ten thousand taels!"

Captain Guan's eyes widened in surprise, and he whispered, "So many!"

He glanced at Fang Lin, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "Leave two teams behind!"

Turning to Lin Yi, she hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Envoy Lin, perhaps you should stay here for now. Fang Lin and I will rest and then set off immediately."

Five million taels of silver and ten thousand taels of gold—so much! Instantly, one can't help but think, 'Is this meant to be a tribute to someone?'

But no one, regardless of who they are, can take this silver away!

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Indeed, this is the fastest and most lucrative way to make money!"

Lin Yi nodded, feeling helpless, and couldn't help but hope that the Master would make a decision soon!

In the border town, I looked at the person sleeping soundly and deeply beside me, as tranquil as the night, as calm as a lake, as budding as a flower.

Her body was stretched out, like a well-behaved kitten!

Draped in a thin veil, it adds a touch of dreaminess and mystery.

Her face, bathed in moonlight, resembled white jade; her eyelashes trembled gently, like the fluttering of butterfly wings. Her breath was soft and even, like a gentle breeze rippling across a still lake.

Exhausted, he slept soundly, a faint smile of lingering pleasure on his lips, and the occasional furrow of his brow, as if his dream was still going on!

He smiled, seeing the beauty sleeping soundly, and not wanting to disturb her any longer, he gently withdrew!

Wei Lan had emerged from the spiritual land and now appeared even more beautiful than before. She wore a simple white tight-fitting backless dress and cute white cotton shoes, exuding an aura of a fairy from heaven.
