"Master Jun, did you make a mistake?

You see, I am just an old man with no body parts, how could I be a thief?"

While Wang Yuan nodded and bowed like a normal citizen, he waved the cloth flag in his hand so that he could clearly see the four words "Miaoshou Rejuvenation" on it.

I never thought that the scar-faced soldier didn't care whether he was capable of committing crimes or not.

He stretched out a big black hand with five fingers spread out, turned it over and waved it in front of him, and said impatiently:

"It doesn't matter whether you have meat or not, as long as you have money, you, a barefoot doctor who often travels around the world, should know the rules.

After paying the full amount of 'atonement silver', he will be released on the spot, 10 taels for men and 50 taels for women.

If you can't get the money out, just go to jail and wait for your family to come and redeem you."

Wang Yuan was suddenly stunned and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Both Cui Tong and Yu Sanliang are very familiar with this "atonement silver".

"Atonement silver" is also called "filial penalty silver". In order to make money easily, local officials at all levels in Dayan allowed people to pay for atonement and punishment, and they also euphemistically called it: "relegation, penalty, loss and redemption".

As long as it is not a serious crime of treason, it can be forgiven in this way.

‘Didn’t you say you wanted to capture the thief who attacked the third prince?

How can I be released on the spot after paying the full amount of money?’

Wang Yuan was a little confused.

However, at this moment, I heard that a leader in the team was discussing with the guard leader [Xuanjia Guard] Zheng Yong without hesitation, how to divide the "atonement silver":

"Master Zheng, the brothers will keep 50% of the money for their own use, and 40% will be dedicated to the prince. For the sake of the money, he will definitely not hold us accountable for the unfavorable crime of caretaking.

The remaining 10% is waiting for the young prince to come back and then be offered to him. Anyway, it was an accident caused by the horse being frightened. If there are benefits, the young prince will not say anything more."

"Well, okay, let's do it like this.

But we need to collect ten thousand taels as quickly as possible. If this amount is missing, I’m afraid the prince’s face will not look good.”

The voice of this [Black Armor Guard] was like gravel and iron, extremely harsh, but his words were direct enough.

After hearing this, Wang Yuan finally realized:

"Good guys, Qin Yishou can pluck the hair of a goose, you are simply three feet taller than the sky. What kind of prince is attacked and captures the thief, just to find an opportunity to scrape another layer of territory!"

As the saying goes: "The conduct of bandits is like combing, the conduct of soldiers is like gourds, and the conduct of officials is like shaving." Today, he finally saw it with his own eyes.

When Wang Yuan was formulating his plan, he considered almost everything from the perspective of the Yamen's handling of the case, but he missed out on the greed and shamelessness of the Luoyang Prince's Palace and its lackeys.

Anything in their hands can be turned into a tool to make money.

Even if it is a disaster like the young prince falling into the water and disappearing.

Normally there would be three-foot waves even when there is no wind, not to mention that now there is a perfect excuse.

Moreover, if the incident is characterized as the young prince falling into the water, then the responsibility must be entirely on the guards. Only by claiming that he was attacked can the so-called "thieves" be shied away.

Maybe while these people are searching here, some unlucky guy who offended them may have been prepared as a "scapegoat".

'Now that I have gained experience, I have gained more knowledge. Can officialdom still be played like this?'

The ancients often said, "No matter how clean your official position is, it will be hard for you to avoid being as slippery as oil." What's more, the immediate boss of these evil officials is the King of Luoyang who does all kinds of evil?

Who said that there is no such thing as fishing in troubled waters, deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors, and corruption in a criminal group whose members are all villains?

The situation will only get more serious.

There is even a saying that there are seven officials and three officials. If they can give 40% to the king of Luoyang, these people are already very kind.

The contemporary King of Luoyang, who enjoyed himself excessively and ignored foreign affairs, was probably essentially just a shield for these cadres and petty officials, right?

Wang Yuan was a little distracted because of his eye-opening experience, when the scar-faced soldier over there urged again impatiently:

"I'm asking you, do you want to pay the ten taels of silver or not?"

The few officers following behind him also had fierce looks on their faces and put their hands on the handles of their waist knives, ready to take action at any time.

Obviously, the standard for a suspicious person is a rich person who looks neatly dressed.

Wang Yuan has no doubt that there are many passers-by who can spend ten taels to ward off disasters. If they meet these soldiers and bandits in the wild, they will probably be stabbed to death and even their clothes will be stripped clean.

However.

The most distinctive personality labels of the famous doctor "Qin Yishou" are: "greedy" who plucking hair from a goose and "stingy" who never plucks a hair.

If you ask him to pay ten taels of silver, you might as well kill him directly.

Moreover, after changing his clothes, he didn't even have a copper coin on him, let alone ten taels of silver.

But it would be even worse if he surrendered and was sent to Luoyang City.

Completely out of the radiation range of Beimang Mountain, without the protection of the darkness under the lamp, I am afraid that I will be exposed to the sight of [Owl God's Tomb] immediately.

This is completely different from the concept that was glanced at by [Owl God's Tomb] when everyone was discussing "grave digging".

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan found that the only thing in his body that could be called property.

Only the [Rakshasa Bone] originally planned to be used on "Shadowless Rat" Wen Juncai or those relatives in Daling Village.

‘It’s a pity that we haven’t had time to test it yet, so we’re not sure how harmful it is.

No matter how clear Zhishu is, this is still a [weird thing] that can kill people on its own.

You’d better keep an eye on it later and take it back immediately if something goes wrong.’

Therefore, Wang Yuan, who had made up his mind, "subconsciously" pinched his sleeve pocket, as if he was afraid that his only property would be discovered.

But it was self-defeating, and there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

"What is it? Take it out!"

Seeing his little move, the soldier directly pulled off his sleeves.

Suddenly, a ray of golden light leaked out.

Especially under the golden sunset, it is a bit dazzling.

In the eyes of these guards, what they saw at first glance seemed to be a golden bone, but at the second glance, they all turned into a fist-sized gold ingot.

There are at least fifty taels of this ingot!

Suddenly, their eyes glowed with a little golden light, and then quickly turned a touch of blood.

"My! Get away!"

Scarface, the leader, grabbed the "gold ingot" in his hand, and without saying anything about the ten taels of silver, he pushed Wang Yuan away with all his strength.

He stared at the gold ingot in his hand with a look of intoxication on his face.

"My, Jin Yuanbao, such a treasure! No one will give it to me!"

But at this time, there was a second hand, a third hand, a fourth hand... and they couldn't help but grab it.

"Give it to me! Let me keep it!"

"I take care of accounts and know how to do math, so just give it to me!"

"..."

Clang!

With a flash of cold light, the scar-faced soldier suddenly drew his sword when faced with the struggle, and without saying a word, he hacked to death the colleague at the front.

The other officers were also unambiguous when they saw this, and they all used their knives to fight for the gold ingots.

"lay down!"

"Bring it to me!!!"

For a moment, there were screams here and there, limbs flew everywhere, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Pedestrians nearby screamed and ran away.

【Chronicle】

Name: Strange object·Rakshasa bone (owner Wang Yuan)

Life: The remnants left after the "Little Book of Life and Death" transformed the [Weird Object·Human Face and Painted Skin]. It is also a [Weird Object] but it retains too much messy negative knowledge. It is wild and untamed and difficult to use for one's own use.

The basic ability is: [Mysterious Mind].

1. When targeting ordinary people, [Rakshasa Bone] can amplify the desire in the other person's heart and turn it into what the other person desires most.

It makes people want to get it at all costs. It is a sin for others to even look at it, and then they can't help but become its puppet. The three fires of happiness, wealth and longevity are gradually sucked dry.

Second, when targeting people in the art, although it will not make people crazy, it will be regarded as some kind of precious magic weapon, and they will never leave their bodies for a moment.

Even at the beginning, [Rakshasa Bone] can help the bearer stimulate his luck (make his luck grow quickly), with a maximum limit of three points, but it will also be sucked dry after a short time.

Note: No matter who the target is, the speed of absorbing the three fires will be controlled by Wang Yuan, the book owner, but it can only be accelerated but not slowed down.

All income is divided into 37 accounts, 3 for artifacts, and 7 for bookkeepers.

[Commandments and taboos (only): Intermittent recovery and rampage, spontaneous acceleration of absorption, must be sealed and protected from light.
