Murong Fu was not very surprised after hearing this, but his thoughts started to turn quickly. Judging from the old man's determination, he should be absolutely confident that he had recognized the identity of the disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace, and maybe even the Murong family and the Blood Shadow Palace disciples.
He also knew the relationship, but he didn't know why he came out like this?
Thoughts were rolling in his mind. Murong Fu stared at Taoist Mu Sang with a smile on his face. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry that I don't understand what you said, but those people last night were disciples of the Murong family."
He added in his mind, "I don't admit it, what can you do to me?"
Taoist Mu Sang seemed to have expected this. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Young Master seems to be right in saying that. After all... one family doesn't speak the same language as the other."
"This..." Murong Fu was speechless for a moment. He was not sure whether the old man really knew or was just testing. His eyes flickered slightly and his tone suddenly became much lighter. "The Taoist priest came to see me early in the morning. Wouldn't he just
In order to find out the origins of those people last night?"
Taoist Mu Sang looked slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he pondered for a moment, and then replied with a smile, "The old Taoist said just now, firstly, to express his gratitude, some yellow and white things are not respectful, I hope you will accept them."
After speaking, he pointed to the box on the ground.
"Hey, you're still arguing with me, right? You like to give money, don't you?" Murong Fu cursed, then he raised his voice and said, "Okay, since the Taoist priest is so kind, I won't be polite, come here.
!”
Soon the white shadow flashed, and a person came in, it was Hong Lingbo, but when he saw her kneeling down, he asked, "What are your orders, Master?"
Murong Fu was a little surprised, but naturally he didn't ask any questions in front of Taoist Mu Sang. He just ordered, "Go, call a few people, and distribute these gold and silver to the disciples who fought hard to kill the enemy last night. Remember, the injured
Share more."
After speaking, he gave Hong Lingbo a vague wink.
Hong Lingbo was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and immediately showed a look of embarrassment, "Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"Oh? What's wrong?" Murong Fu asked pretending to be confused.
Taoist Mu Sang's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he had an ominous premonition, but for a moment he couldn't figure out where this premonition came from.
At this time, Hong Lingbo changed his tone and said, imitating the arrogant tone of his junior sister Lu Wushuang in the past, "Master, there were no less than a hundred people who worked hard to capture the thieves last night. How many taels of gold and silver can these few people share? It's better not to pay.
, so as not to chill the hearts of the brothers."
As soon as he said this, a few black lines popped up on Taoist Mu Sang's forehead. What do you mean by just a few taels of gold and silver? This is two thousand taels of silver, five hundred taels of gold, okay!
Two thousand taels of silver and five hundred taels of gold are indeed not a small sum of money. In this era, two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live comfortably for a month. Even in the military, the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier is only
One, two, two.
Of course, those people brought by Hong Lingbo last night were not comparable to ordinary soldiers, but the Golden Snake Battalion also calculated that there were only about fifty people. When divided, each person could get forty taels of silver and twelve taels of gold. Even according to the Blood Shadow Palace
The identity of the killer should be more than enough to estimate the value, but this Murong Fu is still too little?
"Presumptuous!" Just as Taoist Mu Sang was muttering to himself, Murong Fu suddenly shouted and scolded Hong Lingbo, "How do I usually teach you? How could you say such a thing in front of Senior Mu Sang?
What do you mean? Do you know what 'property is light but affection is more important'? Humph, I think you have been spoiled by your master!"
The word "light" was spoken very hard. Taoist Mu Sang's face turned dark when he heard it, but he still resisted and did not continue. He was joking because he couldn't see that the two men were singing a double act in order to extort money from him from the Golden Snake Camp.
, he won’t be fooled.
When Hong Lingbo heard the last sentence, he thought of all the past for no reason. He felt really wronged, his nose became sore, and he burst into tears. While crying, he said, "Master, forgive me, I know I was wrong."
"Okay, okay, you started crying before I even said anything," Murong Fu's face softened at the right time, and he said earnestly, "You have to know that Golden Snake Camp is not easy, Senior Mu Sang and the others don't have much money to begin with.
, many soldiers down there still don’t have enough to eat. Senior, he can spend so much money to thank everyone. This sincerity alone is worth thousands of gold. How can you continue to be picky and picky?"
"Yes, I was confused for a moment, but I won't do it again in the future. I beg you, Master, to forgive me." Hong Lingbo wiped his tears and said sincerely.
"Well, let's forget it for today. If you dare to make arrogant remarks and make mistakes in the future, I will never forgive you lightly."
"Yes, disciple, I have remembered it." Hong Lingbo responded and changed the topic, "Then...will the money still be distributed?"
"Send it, why don't you send it," Murong Fu waved his sleeves and said righteously, "pass on what I just said and tell them, whoever thinks it's too little can come to me and I'll pay for it myself.
Give them a replacement."
Hearing this, Taoist Mu Sang could no longer sit still and hurriedly said to stop, "No, absolutely not!"
"Oh? But why?" Murong Fu turned to look at Taoist Mu Sang, his face full of doubts.
Taoist Mu Sang had the urge to vomit blood, but he still had to make up for it with a smile, "Hahaha, Master, please don't rush to give orders. Before the old Taoist finished speaking, in fact, in order to thank Master Murong for his help, Chengzhi decided to give Master Murong gold.
Five thousand taels and twenty thousand taels of silver. The gold and silver here are only part of it, the rest is still being counted and shipped out of the warehouse, and will be delivered to the young master’s house after lunch.”
"I x!" Murong Fu was startled, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "Is the Golden Snake Camp so rich?"
The idea of killing him more money suddenly came into my mind...
Taoist Mu Sang felt a chill running down his spine when he stared at him, but he had to straighten his back and look like "we just have money."
It’s no wonder that he is like this. What Murong Fu said just now can be said to have hit the Golden Snake seven inches in the face. Speaking of which, I have to mention that the development of the Golden Snake Camp to what it is today is partly due to the support of some forces such as the Golden Dragon Gang.
, the other half must be attributed to the treasure left by King Chuang back then, but after so many years, that batch of treasure has been spent long ago, and now the Golden Snake Camp has grown to such an extent that its finances are already stretched thin.
Once this matter spreads out, letting the outside world see clearly the reality of the Golden Snake Camp is second to none. The most important thing is that within the Golden Snake Camp, the morale of the military will be shaken at the least, and it will fall apart and disperse in a rush. After all, there are more than 100,000 people, and the slogans can be shouted
No matter how good you are, you still need to eat. If you don’t have money, who will mess around with you?
Moreover, the forces within the Golden Snake Camp are complex. The reason why those bandit leaders followed the Golden Snake Camp was just to have a bowl of soup. In the past, everyone tolerated it without even getting it, but now the Golden Snake Camp suddenly gave out so much gold and silver.
What's going on with the Murong family?
Murong Fu stared at Taoist Mu Sang for a while, then suddenly laughed and said lightly, "How can this be achieved? It's just a little effort, how can you deserve such a generous thank you from King Yuan?"
"Young Master, you are serious. A mere tens of thousands of taels of silver is not a big thank you." The muscles on Taoist Mu Sang's face trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. The old Taoist will go and urge Yi Er to send the silver as soon as possible.
Come to the house."
After saying that, he stood up and bowed, "I say goodbye."
"Master Taoist, are you leaving now? Do you need me to send a few people to carry the money with you?"
"No, no, no, our Golden Snake Battalion still has enough manpower."
Before he finished speaking, he was no longer in sight. Taoist Mu Sang left the living room almost as if he was running away. He didn't even plan to mention the remaining matter again, for fear that if he walked slowly, he would be killed by this shameless person.
One stroke.
As soon as the old man left, Hong Lingbo laughed and said, "Master, Yuan Chengzhi is going to feel very distressed now."
"It's his business to feel sorry for him. Tens of thousands of taels of silver are nothing more than a mosquito's legs to me. If it wasn't to block his back, I would really look down on him." Murong Fu said calmly, and then raised his hand slightly.
, "Okay, get up. Didn't I ask you to spy on people? Why are you here?"
"It's like this. The people who were tracking the Japanese assassins are back, and I'm here to report them." Hong Lingbo explained as he stood up.
Murong Fu suddenly asked, "What's the gain?"
Hong Lingbo nodded, "The disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace reported that the surviving Ronin assassins finally gathered in one place."
"where?"
"To the southeast, there is a small town thirty miles away called Qinglongji."
"Where is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"That's all we know so far. The person behind it is still being investigated."
"Forget it, get everyone back and I'll go there myself."
Hong Lingbo was startled, "Master, it's enough to send two more people to handle such a small matter. Why do you need to go there yourself?"
Murong Fu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "If my guess is correct, then you can't deal with the people behind the scenes, so it would be better for me to go in person."
I didn't bring any masters with me this time. I had Hong Lingbo by my side who could be used, but he could only handle some trivial matters. If he met a powerful master, he still had to do it by himself.
Hong Lingbo seemed to see his helplessness, and couldn't help but said with shame, "Lingbo is useless, he can't share the worries of the master."
"It's none of your business. The way to learn martial arts can only be done step by step. You are still young, so take your time and do your part first."
"Thank you, Master, for your encouragement. I will definitely live up to Master's expectations."
"Well, let's go down. By the way, let Yagyu Shenghuaqi come to my place."
"yes."
Not long after Hong Lingbo left, Liu Shenghuaqi came to the hall. Murong Fu simply said "go out for a walk" and took her out of the courtyard, then left Lanling Mountain and headed southeast.
On the way, Yagyu Shenghuaqi hesitated several times, but finally endured it.
About half an hour later, the two came to a small town. An archway was erected at the entrance of the town with the words "Qinglong Ji" written on it.
The town was bustling with people, and it was quite prosperous. Murong Fu restrained himself, slowed down, and strolled on the street. Liu Shenghuaqi, wearing a veil on her face, followed step by step.
After a while, the shopping on a main street almost reached the end, and Murong Fu finally stopped in front of a shop called "Dong Lai Ju".
When Yagyu Shenghuaqi saw the chrysanthemum pattern in the lower right corner of the sign, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are we doing here?"
Murong Fu did not answer the question, but asked, "I remember you said that your father would come to Shandong to see me. How come it has been so long that he has not shown up?"
"This..." Yagyu Shenghuaqi was at a loss for words. She hesitated for a long time before explaining, "I don't know the whereabouts of my father. Maybe... maybe he encountered something and was delayed on the way."
Murong Furuo glanced at her meaningfully and said with a smile, "He is indeed delayed for something. No, I will come to see him in person."
