At this moment, Lin Yipeng was the first to receive the news and came to Xiao He to congratulate him: "Congratulations!"
Xiao He: "Director Lin, your information is a bit too well-informed."
To this day, we still don't know what kind of network of connections Director Lin Yipeng has.
"Harmful--"
Lin Yipeng waved his hand dismissively, instead urging Xiao He: "Hurry up, pack up and come film the last scene, then quickly wrap up filming and get out of here."
"Okay, okay."
Xiao He agreed and sat down to let the makeup artist do his makeup.
The next scene Xiao He was going to film was his last scene in "The Thief Catcher," which was also the final act of "The Thief Catcher."
At this point, Jiang Rushuai had successfully used the evidence in his hands to make the various factions suspicious of each other, fight each other to the death, and suffer heavy losses on both sides.
No one paid any attention to a pawn moving between their factions anymore. Even at the last moment, they all thought Jiang Rushuai was a member of the opposing faction. In order to avoid giving the opposing faction any leverage to expose more things, the wanted poster for Jiang Rushuai disappeared quietly.
Everything seemed to have returned to how it was before.
The people of several regions, who had long suffered from the problem of high-priced smuggled salt, can finally eat salt at normal prices again.
—Although many people know that this is not a long-term solution, the officials above have never cared about their lives, and those salt smugglers will make a comeback sooner or later.
But this period of respite allowed more people to survive and brought smiles back to many faces.
For them, as long as they are alive, life can go on.
Life goes on.
As the sun set, Jiang Rushuai rode his horse, casually playing with the copper coin in his hand, then tossed it gently, letting it fall back into his palm.
Shen Jue glanced at him, then looked up at Jiang Rushuai's copper coin, calmly shifting his gaze: "Is this really worth it?"
Jiang Rushuai deftly flipped his fingers, holding the copper coin between them, and waved it with a rather smug air: "Why wouldn't it be worth it? As a bandit hunter, I, Jiang Rushuai, believe in taking the money as soon as the notice is posted, and getting the goods and money on the spot—"
Everyone was guessing which powerful faction had hired Jiang Rushuai to work for them. But none of them would have imagined that Jiang Rushuai, who was known for his greed, had personally entered the game, using himself as a tool to stir up trouble and as bait to escape death several times, causing chaos among multiple factions, all for a single copper coin.
It was just a child's helpless plea.
Shen Jue and Jiang Rushuai had been friends for many years, and although he was very familiar with him, he always felt that he still couldn't see through this guy at times like this: "I don't understand."
“How can you not understand? This is all that child has, her most valuable possession.” Jiang Rushuai said, tossing a coin again. “It’s like you, Brother Shen, having so many fine wines, but only willing to open a jar of the newest Peach Blossom Wine for me. Different things are valued differently, so naturally they have different values.”
"Just say you want to drink."
Shen Jue remained silent, spurred his horse, and began to gallop forward slowly. "No need to go into those roundabout ways."
"Haha—" Jiang Rushuai laughed heartily, "Of course, if Brother Shen is willing to take out that jar of Qiongqin Wine that you have treasured for many years, I can also consider selling my life to you."
"I'll let you drink it when you pay me back."
"Huh? Really?"
However, Shen Jue had already run far away.
Jiang Rushuai's eyes lit up as he strung the copper coin around his waist. There, dozens of identical copper coins had already been strung, flashing with dazzling light as the setting sun shone through.
"Wait for me!"
Jiang Rushuai spurred his horse in pursuit, and the two gradually disappeared at the end of the overgrown road.
Thus concludes the final scene of "The Thief Catcher".
