After raiding so many houses and turning in all the silver, there must be at least four million taels of silver.
Now, we have to raise two million silver coins for him. Why doesn’t he go to heaven?
Tianqing carefully looked at his master's expression, then carefully took out the basic volume from behind him.
"Master, this was sent by the Emperor."
Pei Yu took it. It listed many famous gentry and wealthy people in Jiangnan. Each of them had a very wealthy family. Similarly, the account books in his hand were all evidence of their crimes.
Although the crime is not punishable by death, it is still acceptable to make them bleed profusely.
But Jiangnan is so big, and there are only about twenty of them here. Don’t you plan to let yourself rest before the New Year?
Pei Yu was so angry that he laughed, "Ha!"
Good job!
"Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Tianqing lowered his head and decisively admitted his mistake, "It's all my fault."
Pei Yu felt a throbbing pain between his eyebrows. He naturally knew that the national treasury was empty, but he couldn't use all the money by himself. Was there no one else available in the court?
Pei Yu decisively wrote a secret letter and sent it back to the capital. In it, he kindly asked about the new emperor's health and expressed his concern in his words, showing that he was definitely a good subordinate.
I originally wanted to keep Ali here for a few more days, but it seems that’s not possible.
When Chen Li came back, Pei Yu had already calmed down.
"Ali, you stay in the mansion first. I have something to take care of during this time."
Chen Li looked at him. What's going on? Is he going to raid someone's house again?
But since he said that, he must have been very busy recently.
"No, I've already packed my luggage and will be back to Qingxi County this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll take you back."
Chen Li frowned, "No, just go and do your own thing."
Pei Yu shook his head. "I also happen to be taking a boat. The boat will pass through Qingxi County. I'll take you to the dock."
"Okay then."
After Shen Lihei took a break for half a day and took out the bag he had prepared, the two of them soon arrived at an official ship. The ship was very large and relatively empty. There were also many guards in official uniforms on board, and it was obvious that they had something to do.
The official ship was a little faster than other ships and soon docked at the pier in Qingxi County.
Looking at Pei Yu's somewhat depressed expression, you can tell that he is extremely reluctant.
Chen Li poured him a cup of tea and said, "Pei Yu, be careful."
Although I know that he is a martial arts expert, it is still better to be cautious when doing such things.
"Well, I'll be back before the New Year."
It's been so long, no wonder he looks so depressed.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
Pei Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this. What Ah Li meant was...
Shen Li stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
During the time she was separated from Pei Yu, she thought carefully about whether to accept or reject him. It would not be good to continue to live with him like this.
After Chen Li got off the boat, she saw Pei Yu standing on the deck, looking at her until she was gradually moving away and his figure slowly disappeared.
It was getting late, so he didn't go to the store and rented a carriage to go to Daohua Village.
The carriage suddenly stopped halfway. Chen Li was still sitting with the book in her hand. The movement did not move her at all.
There were more than a dozen men in black surrounding the carriage. Chen Li did not move, wondering in her mind who she had offended during this period.
After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't figure out what was going on. A small knife flew straight towards her face, so she turned her head slightly to avoid it.
"Ding~"
Chen Li quickly got out of the carriage and the driver ran away. It seemed that these people still had conscience and did not implicate innocent people.
"That's him, alive."
Chen Li raised her eyebrows. She was now dressed in men's clothes, and not many people had seen her dressed like this. Could it be that she had been following Pei Yu around for the past two days and had caused trouble for him?
The men in black didn't give her time to think and surrounded her. Although they wanted to kill her alive, they were extremely ruthless. It seemed that they didn't want to make a living, but just wanted to keep themselves alive.
In that case, she won't be polite.
In less than a cup of tea, many people fell to the ground groaning in pain, and some had already died.
Chen Li stepped on someone's chest and asked, "Tell me, who asked you to come?"
The person being stepped on said nothing, "Yo, it's a good thing you have some backbone. I hope you can hold on a little longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "crack" sound, and several ribs broke. The man was breathing out more than breathing in.
I gathered some strength on my toes and was about to step down when I heard him speak.
"I, I said."
"We were hired to bring you back. The employer wants you alive, but not whole."
What kind of hatred or grudge is it that cannot be resolved without killing?
"Tell me, who is the employer?"
"Sir, I don't know. I just came here because I received a mission."
"We are assassins from Fengyun Tower. We have no way of knowing the information about our employer."
Then there would be no need to live.
Next, after Chen Li dealt with all these people, he threw them directly to the side of the road, and then took out the good things he had obtained from Pei Rong from his arms.
Corpse-dissolving water.
More than a dozen people had half of the bottle gone. What a waste.
As for the carriage driver, he had disappeared long ago. However, in order to avoid trouble, Chen Li did not drive the carriage back. Instead, he chose to leave the carriage here and walk back by himself.
Because of this delay, when I got home it was almost dark and it was drizzling outside.
