However, when he saw Hong Xiaoduo find the purse on the corpse and the silver notes in the pocket of her clothes, and showed no regret at not finding any evidence, Lang Chuan knew that he had misjudged again!

This young lady Hong isn't looking for evidence; she's looking for money!

Hong Xiaoduo didn't mind the silver found on the corpse. She counted it and found that there were more than ten taels of loose silver in the purse, but a thousand taels of silver notes.

"Everyone who sees it gets a share, you two, here you go." Hong Xiaoduo took out two silver notes with a face value of two hundred taels and handed them to Uncle Tong and Uncle Chuan respectively.

The two hurriedly waved their hands, saying, "Young Lady Hong, please keep it for yourself. We don't need it."

"It's alright. This doesn't count as bribery, it's not of dubious origin, and it's not ill-gotten gains," Hong Xiaoduo advised.

The two of them still refused, firmly stating that they did not want it.

Seeing their reaction, Hong Xiaoduo didn't insist any further and put them all into her large brocade bag.

Suddenly remembering something, Hong Xiaoduo looked at the mushroom sitting on the ground.

Mushroom was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was going on and quickly took off her purse and handed it to Hong Xiaoduo with both hands: "This is all I have. The silver notes he has are a deposit. He will only give us two if he succeeds. Really, you can search for yourself if you don't believe me."

Hong Xiaoduo bent down slightly to take the purse, weighed it in her hand, and without even looking at how much was inside, said, "Fine, since you're quite sensible, I'll trust you this once and won't search you."

"Uncle Tong, Uncle Chuan, I'll trouble you two to handle this, whether they're breathing or not. I'll treat you to a drink when we get to town." With that, Hong Xiaojiu, twirling a mushroom-shaped purse in his hand, walked towards the carriage.

Behind her, Uncle Tong, Uncle Chuan, and Mushroom sitting on the ground watched her back, all thinking the same thing: this guy has a thuggish air about him...
