Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 166 To do it or not to do it?
Pei Yuan was just getting nervous when he heard another clinking sound, as if something had fallen into the green-glazed porcelain vase.

Pei Yuan was delighted.

Although it's just three copper coins, the symbolic significance of this event is huge.

At least it shows that the rules of the real world may not apply when encountering the two-dimensional dimension.

Pei Yuan was thinking.

The area of ​​the dark tide spread wider, and the ink on the murals also became damp.

The shape no longer looked like a disk, but rather irregular, like the dampness after rain, with pieces of dark water connected together.

A series of crisp knocking sounds were heard from the green-glazed porcelain vase.

Pei Yuan was so surprised that he was a little overwhelmed.

How come this horse still exists?

When surprises happen too often, it becomes a bit scary.

After hearing the crisp clanging sound for a while, Pei Yuan felt something was wrong.

This celadon porcelain vase is not very big.

The mouth of the bottle can only accommodate a large coin at most, and the bottle body does not look like it can hold much.

Just the clinking sound just now must have been dozens of coins, right?

Pei Yuan looked confused, and the three general flags also seemed to realize something.

The dark shadow on the wall was able to make the greedy monk, who had always been fearless, nervous. There was obviously some reason for this.

After experiencing the incident of the rat dragging the silver into the mural, when the traces of the dark tide spread to the silver and coins on the mural and a tinkling sound was heard from the green-glazed porcelain vase, they immediately knew the truth.

Just when Pei Yuan was worried about how many coins there would be, the three general flags had already accepted the fact that Captain Pei was using a mysterious magic weapon to take money out of the mural.

So their focus was on the murals.

When they noticed that a silver ingot with the seal of "Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Office" was slowly disappearing, Song Chunniang could not help but exclaimed with joy, "It's out! It's our money!"

The money was lost when Song Chunniang was in charge of it, and she was under the most pressure here.

Pei Yuan was startled by Song Chunniang's voice and hurried to the mural to take a look.

Sure enough, the money on the mural that was stained by the dark damp began to disappear in large quantities, including some silver ingots.

Pei Yuan had a flash of thought in his mind. Just a fifty-liang silver ingot was a large piece of silver, let alone so much of it.

That being said, there is only one possibility.

That is, there is a separate storage space in the celadon porcelain bottle!

I rely on!

Pei Yuan then realized that he had made a fortune.

In the past, his focus was on the little kid who moved money, but he didn't realize the benefits of this green-glazed porcelain vase.

Pei Yuan couldn't help but knock his head.

Careless!

With the help of her backstage, Mei Qinniang also has to find excellent women like Qin Lingbo and Bai Yujing to nourish her yin body.

In comparison, the little money-carrying kid can survive in the world with just a bottle, which is obviously a treasure.

Pei Yuan almost lost the treasure like buying the box but returning the pearl.

Pei Yuan tried hard to suppress the joy in his heart, listening to the sound of big and small pearls falling on a jade plate in the green-glazed porcelain bottle, and finally he experienced the joy of counting money!

According to Pei Yuan's previous observation, the more than 5,000 taels of silver they lost did not occupy a large area on the mural.

Even among the pile of money, it is not conspicuous. So, if the money-moving kid takes away all the money, how much money will it be?

Ten thousand taels, or twenty thousand?
Pei Yuan's heart was pounding.

The three general flags standing by were obviously aware of this problem and were all swallowing their saliva.

The greedy monk on the mural also lost his sly smile and replaced it with an extremely sinister expression.

As the scope of the dark tide expanded, the movements in the green-glazed porcelain bottle became more and more frequent.

The four people stared at the money in the mural, watching the money fade and disappear little by little, and they couldn't help but feel greedy.

Chen Toutie watched and suddenly said to Pei Yuan, "Sir, I have an idea."

"Huh? Say it!"

Pei Yuan didn't look at him either, but stared at the money in the mural.

Chen Toutie whispered, "Sir, I can also paint a few strokes occasionally."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Pei Yuan looked at the money on the mural and responded casually.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, turned around abruptly, looked straight at Chen Toutie, and raised his voice a few degrees, "What do you mean?"

The light of the torch reflected in Pei Yuan's eyes, flickering like a greedy flame.

Chen Toutie couldn't help but take a step back under Pei Yuan's captivating gaze.

Then he said, "Sir, would you like me to fetch some brush and ink, and then add it to the painting in the same way as before?"

Chen Toutie's words passed through Pei Yuan's heart like a thunderbolt.

Song Chunniang and Cheng Leixiang also turned around. They looked at each other, their eyes bright and flashing with excitement.

Everyone present heard the hidden meaning in Chen Toutie's words.

The fact that Pei Yuan used a magic weapon to secretly take the money out of the mural was a secret known only to them.

So, should we keep this matter secret?
Chen Toutie said he could paint a few strokes... In this case, it means Chen Toutie said that he is confident that he can restore the disappeared mural in a lifelike manner.

The previous murals were meant to convey meaning, so they were naturally rough in some ways.

For example, they lost so much tax silver, it is impossible to show every ingot of it on the mural. Some of the words can only indicate the identity and origin of the money, and some of the words can describe the intention, indicating that there are a lot of them.

It’s not too difficult for Chen Toutie to copy it perfectly.

But what does this move mean?

This means that Pei Yuan can not only put the ownerless money stolen from the murals into his own pocket as a matter of course, but he can also take the more than 5,000 taels given to the court for himself!
The money was stolen into the mural by rats, and it happened in full view of everyone.

With this mural, the greedy monk and the mouse, we can prove this to the world countless times.

As long as they steal the silver without anyone noticing, and then repaint the original place with a few strokes to make it look real, who would know that this huge sum of money fell into Pei Yuan's hands?

After that, all we need to do is make some arrangements and have someone destroy the mural just like they destroyed the greedy monk's feet. Then there will be no evidence and it will be impossible to investigate.

Pei Yuan swallowed and felt hot all over.

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was desperately thinking about the pros and cons.

Today was originally a secret operation. As long as Pei Yuan wanted to do it, he was fully confident that he could accomplish it without any unfinished business.

The three general banners are deeply tied to their own interests, so as long as they take out a little bit of it afterwards, it will be enough to satisfy everyone.

Even if Pei Yuan doesn't share it with anyone, they won't complain. This is a favor and they will definitely be rewarded in the future.

So, should we do this or not?
