The Night Alliance leader, wearing half a silver mask, looked at the message sent by his subordinate: Princess Yuening offered five thousand taels of silver to buy Zhao Ruojin's head.
The following is a brief introduction and portrait of Zhao Ruojin.
Zhao Ruojin, Madam Jiang...
"Go and tell Princess Yuening that it costs 10,000 taels of silver to buy Zhao Ruojin's head, with half of it as a deposit."
"yes!"
Upon receiving the Night Alliance's reply, Yuening slammed her hand on the table in anger. "This Night Alliance is really pushing their luck! All they asked them to do was kill an ordinary merchant's wife, and they dare to demand ten thousand taels of silver from me!"
"Princess, shall we just leave it at that?" Mu Hua asked.
Yuening gritted her teeth, "What's there to calculate? It's just ten thousand taels of silver, give it to them!"
Ten thousand taels of silver to vent one's anger is worth it!
The Night Alliance received Yue Ning's deposit, and their subordinates asked the alliance leader when to take action.
The Night Alliance leader chuckled, "Why bother? Just send this five thousand taels of silver to Madam Jiang!"
"Yes!" The subordinates of the Night Alliance never dared to contradict their leader.

Su Ruojin and her family have already moved to a three-courtyard house. They originally wanted to buy a five-courtyard house, but time was too tight and they couldn't find a suitable one right away, so they could only buy a smaller one for now.
Night falls.
In the quiet courtyard, there was a "whoosh".
An arrow struck a magnolia tree in the yard, causing several magnolia petals to fall to the ground in the wind.
An Yi rushed out in the direction of the arrow, but still lost track of the person.
Back in the courtyard, An Yi knelt down and begged for forgiveness, "Please punish me, Your Highness!"
He felt guilty for not noticing that someone was nearby. If the arrow had hit the master in the courtyard, he would have had to atone with his death.
Xiao Yanchu took the arrow and looked at it. "When you return to Great Chu, you will receive ten lashes as punishment."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" An Yi knew that the prince had shown mercy.
Xiao Yanchu was also aware that this was in Xiaoyue, and there were only ten secret guards, so it was impossible for them to be present in every situation.
Xiao Yanchu opened the object tied to the arrow's tail, glanced at it, and was somewhat surprised.
"Ah Jin, do you know anyone from the Howling Moon Alliance?"
Su Ruojin shook her head, "I've only heard of it, but I've never had any dealings with it."
Xiao Yanchu handed over the note and banknote in his hand, saying, "They've brought you money."
Su Ruojin didn't understand what Xiao Yanchu meant. She took the note and read: "Yuening has paid 10,000 taels of silver for Zhao Ruojin's life. This is the deposit."
Attached to the note was a five thousand tael silver note, and at the bottom of the note was a small tiger-head red moon emblem of the Night Alliance.
Ye Meng directly delivered the deposit that Yue Ning had paid to her, clearly as a gesture of goodwill towards her.
Does Ye Meng know her?
Otherwise, why would they offer such a favor?
“Ah Jin, the way the Night Alliance does things is very similar to yours,” Xiao Yanchu said.
That's how the 50,000 taels of gold that came to support the emperor were obtained.
“Princess Yuening is too stingy. Ten thousand taels of silver, sigh.” Xiao Yanchu looked at Su Ruojin with a playful smile in his eyes.
The implication is that the king offered 100,000 taels of gold for his head, while Yue Ning only offered 10,000 taels to buy A Jin's head.
Su Ruojin rolled her eyes at Xiao Yanchu, "Should I take the other 50,000 taels of gold as well?"
"No, no, no, Ah Jin, you can't murder your husband!" Xiao Yanchu quickly begged for mercy.
Su Ruojin looked at the banknotes and note in her hand and fell into deep thought.
There is no hatred without a cause, nor is there kindness without a cause.
Why would the Night Alliance, with whom he had never had any dealings, send him such a generous gift?
