The three brothers of the Shi family were fiercely prepared to tear each other apart, and found the handle of the Shen family from Fujiwara Saburo to regain the interests, but they didn't know that, not far away from them, the third group of people they didn't know were also discussing in a low voice.

Although there was no secret spy like Xiaomi who had been operating locally for many years, Bai Shier still relied on the court, or to be precise, relying on the title of the princess Zhu Jinxuan, and got everything he wanted.

Tianji Pavilion is nominally claiming that it will not interfere in anything except collecting and selling information, but in fact, how could there be a cat in the world that does not steal fishy?

At least, in Zhangpu County, Tianji Pavilion is not that "simple". Although Li Lingjiu, the leader of Zhangpu County branch pavilion, explained that the reason for controlling a small local gang was to collect information from Zhangpu County better and faster, this explanation sounded like the wooden sign that said "There is no silver here, and it exposed the real reason behind him doing this.

However, what did Li Lingjiu do have to do with Bai Shier?

He had to thank the other party for being able to get into the team to the Japanese secret base very smoothly.

As for the harm this incident has to the court and the royal family?

Let's leave it to the emperor's sister Zhu Jinxuan to consider the worries. He is more concerned about the secret Japanese base that will appear in front of him.

As for the problems discovered by the three brothers of the Shi family, Bai Shier also discovered them.

Of course, he also knew that there must be many masters from the Shen family in the team.

In fact, at this point, the factory guards can secretly arrest the Shen family's manager, even Shen Wan'an, and then serve them in various ways and force them to confess.

After all, the factory guards are not the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, which really pay attention to evidence. They can arrest people as long as they have a reason to doubt.

Of course, if the target of arrest is an official, the emperor naturally needs to nod. However, Shen Wanan, a lowly businessman who cannot even wear silk cloth, will be arrested. No matter how many officials stand behind him, he will not dare to ask the factory guards for people. He can only turn the finger at the emperor, impeach the memorials and save people.

And during this period, it was enough for those ruthless characters in the factory guard to conquer Shen Wan'an.

However, Bai Shier was not a secret spy of the factory guards, so he had no interest in forcing confessions.

All he wanted was the secrets that the Japanese had.

"Five thousand taels of silver."

Compared to Bai Shier, who was only thinking about the secrets in the Japanese, the rest of the team were obviously firmly attracted by the three words "five thousand taels" just like the crowd around.

Needless to say, Yuan Xiuwen was a hard worker to make a living by selling his strength when he was lurking. He only paid 5,000 taels of silver, but he had never seen 50 taels of silver. Even when he was in Japan, he was a small low-level warrior and most of the food and salt salary he had received was good enough to have a salted fish. He had never seen any silver.

Although Hu Xiaolin is stronger than Yuan Xiuwen, he is also very strong.

Unlike the previous Song Dynasty, the salaries of officials in this dynasty were extremely low, and most of them were paid for food, cloth, and salt.

If you are in a yamen with a lot of oil and water, you can naturally gain some benefits.

Just like fat meat, even if you are not greedy at all, just touch it with your hands, you can leave a layer of oil on your hands.

But such good yamen are mostly controlled by civil servants. Even if there are military officials in charge of the yamen and there are so many nobles in the court, it is not the turn of Hu Xiaolin who has no titles.

As for more military officers who rely on empty wages and exploit military households to enrich themselves, Hu Xiaolin did not dare to use it at all.

Because the place where he stayed was Dawen.

Moreover, the avant-garde of the mansion where he was located was actually in name only. Even if he used these methods, he could not even scrape a few copper coins. Instead, he would only lose his reputation and evil soldiers.

So, at the moment when he heard the five thousand taels, Hu Xiaolin couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart, chopping off the head of the Japanese leader and coming to exchange Chen Wan'an for the five thousand taels of silver.

However, soon, he woke up.

If it weren't for the princess Zhu Jinxuan, he would still consider it. After taking the money, he would sell Chen Wan'an to the factory guards. After eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant, he would see such things too much, and he believed that he would not be much worse.

Unfortunately, the princess Zhu Jinxuan is by his side. In order to survive, he can only do so. Perhaps the only opportunity to get benefits for himself is to see if he can find any treasures or silver from the group of Japanese people when he acts separately.

At least, the Japanese sword should still be worth a lot of money, right?

Hu Xiaolin was a little moved when he remembered the money paid by Zhujian Villa to collect the Japanese sword.

Zhu Jinxuan is naturally different from both of them.

Although she has never seen much real money since she was a child, the identity of the royal princess also makes her have little idea of ​​money.

It was only after leaving the palace that she had a basic concept of money.

The basis of this concept is mostly laid out during the process of staying, eating, and having fun on the road. Because of this concept, after she heard the three words "five thousand taels", she immediately converted these three words into various exact numbers in her mind.

For example, how many big meals can you eat, how much time can you stay in a small inn like Dongsheng Inn, etc.

The number she obtained was obviously a much larger number than five thousand.

So, a sense of absurdity arose in her heart.

Are these businessmen really that rich?

"Don't think about it."

Bai Shier discovered something was wrong with her.

"This world is so unfair. However, some people rely on their own minds and abilities, while others rely on loopholes. Moreover, in order to ensure that they can continue to exploit this loophole, they will also cover up the loophole and block all the eyes they want to investigate, and for this, they will use anyone and sacrifice anyone."

"So, what they have to do now is to use the people in front of them to kill the group of Japanese people, wanting to cut off clues, right?"

She had been talking about Bai Shier before, but at this moment she finally showed other expressions - confusion.

"That's why we're here, isn't it?"

Bai Shier nodded and asked with a chuckling.

"That's right."

To dispel the confusion in his eyes, Zhu Jinxuan's face was full of determination.
