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

Chapter 167 Mathematics Won’t Cheate Me

Chapter 167 Mathematics Won’t Cheate Me
Pei Yuan's mind was filled with all kinds of random thoughts.

The eyes of the four men were reflected in the torches, jumping and eager to try.

On the mural, the greedy monk with an ugly face has put on an unfathomable smile.

The hand seals also changed slightly, like the strings of an erotic instrument that were plucking emotions.

Greed...

Who in this world can face up to his own greed?
Among the four people who were silent under the firelight, which one of them thought that greed was wrong?

Greed is part of human nature!
Don’t those seven emotions and six desires also originate from the consciousness of the self?

When selfish and egoistic emotions such as greed grow stronger, subconsciously, they are simply perceived as the growth of one's own will.

And regard this selfishness and ego as a protection of oneself.

When the greed of the Jinyiwei leader was aroused, could others just sit there and watch the benefit fall into the hands of others?

Pei Yuan was indeed struggling.

He indeed did not notice the strange situation before him.

Not to mention that Pei Yuan had no spiritual practice, even if he had Buddhist or Taoist supernatural powers, how could he realize that his greed was a sign of someone's scheme against him?
When a person has the thought "I want more", in the self-cognition, the point of judgment and anchoring is "I want", which is a selfish and true expression of the ego consciousness.

They don't think that "wanting more" is the growth of some negative attribute.

They will just think that this is their own thought.

In this world, no one can face his own greed.

When people realize that they are greedy, it is not because they have awakened, but because their greed has touched upon the reality that they cannot get what they want.

The current situation obviously has not yet touched the barrier that Pei Yuan has been seeking.

So it was only natural to take all the money.

The greedy monk's gaze moved, and he subconsciously began to induce greed in others.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Pei Yuan said firmly, "No, you can't do this."

?

The three of them were a little surprised. This was Chen Toutie's suggestion, so he didn't say much. Song Chunniang asked in confusion, "Why? If we take the money away, no one will know. We can also destroy the traces on the wall afterwards, so no one can see it."

The greed in Pei Yuan's eyes remained unchanged, but his mind suddenly became clear.

Because math won’t deceive me!
How much money can there be here?
Twenty thousand taels or thirty thousand taels?
Pei Yuan was going to use this money as capital to speculate in commodities in Huai'an.

If Pei Yuan embezzled the 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver now, he would have to conceal it completely. Afterwards, he would not even dare to pay the more than 5,000 taels of commercial tax.

In this way, when Han Qianhu goes to Huai'an to speculate in goods, his capital will be less by more than 5,000 taels.

The lever is enlarged.

This means that once the speculation is over, the profit may be reduced by 50,000 taels.

But what if I choose to confess to Han Qianhu and hand over the stolen money?

That means that the cost for them to go to Huai'an to speculate in goods will be an additional 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver.

If the speculation is successful, you can earn two or three hundred thousand taels of silver.

If Captain Han had a conscience and split the money with me, that would be 100,000 to 150,000 taels of silver.

If Han Qianhu and I split the money 64, that would be more than 80,000 taels.

If Captain Han shamelessly offered a 9:1 split with him, he could still get 20,000 or 30,000 taels.

So mathematics makes people rational.

If Pei Yuan concealed this matter, Han Qianhu's capital for speculation would be reduced to less than 75,000 taels, and if Pei Yuan told Han Qianhu, her capital for speculation would suddenly swell to more than 100,000 taels.

The difference in income is too huge.

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Pei Yuan said righteously, "If there is a problem with the tax silver, even if there is a reason, the court will definitely punish you, and Han Qianhu will definitely be implicated at that time."

"Captain Han has been very kind to me. If I lose my loyalty and righteousness because of my own greed, wouldn't I be worse than pigs and dogs?"

Pei Qianhu's warning immediately gave the three general flags, who were overwhelmed by greed, a shock.

The words that slipped in unexpectedly shocked their souls like a baptism.

The three of them couldn't help but flatter him, "Qian Hu is truly a role model for us."

Pei Yuan was also moved by what he said.

"Besides, we hid today's events from other brothers, which was wrong in itself. You know, 'people are the foundation of any great undertaking.' If we alienate our brothers just for a little money, what good will the money be?"

"Call all the brothers here later, so that I, Pei Qianhu, can appear more upright."

The main thing is that someone needs to help testify so that Han Xiaoliu can understand that this is really all.

Also.

Before, he planned to take the court's money and get something for nothing.

There is also a lot of uncertainty when going to Huai'an to roast nuts.

Therefore, he and Han Qianhu only maintained a tacit understanding and had not yet discussed the distribution of benefits.

But with what happened today, Pei Yuan has entered the market with capital.

I have to seriously clarify the division of profits with her.

If Captain Han can understand the situation, then everyone can happily rob together in the future.

If Han Qianhu was too greedy, Pei Yuan would certainly have no way to counter it, but if such a good thing happened again in the future, he would do it alone.

After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he directly asked Chen Toutie to call for help.

Chen Toutie's greed had completely disappeared, and the slight jealousy he had felt towards Pei Qianhu just now made him feel ashamed.

Pei Yuan himself eagerly looked at the remaining silver in the mural, trying to estimate how much he could gain this time.

I've played so many games along the way and gained a lot of reputation, but this is the first time I've made some money.

Pei Yuan thought about it and was so moved that he almost wanted to cry.

Not easy.

Pei Yuan watched the money on the mural disappear bit by bit, and crisp collision sounds continued to come from the green-glazed porcelain bottle, and his heart was filled with happiness.

Cheng Leixiang and Song Chunniang felt much better.

It is not their money in itself, and Pei Yuan has chosen to make the matter public. Even if there are some benefits, it is not their profit, so they are more calm.

Song Chunniang looked around and soon noticed that the greedy monk had a face full of anger.

Even though Song Chunniang was knowledgeable and experienced, she still felt a little uneasy.

Obviously this is just a painting, but like a person, it can have all kinds of responses.

When she was traveling around, she also heard some ghost stories, and it seemed that the characters in many of these stories did not have a good ending.

Song Chunniang looked at him for a few times, and the greedy monk seemed to notice her and looked at her intently.

Song Chunniang did not have the courage like Pei Yuan to look the greedy monk in the eye, so she subconsciously looked away.

Then she noticed that the damp wall was spreading towards the sack containing the rats on the ground. Song Chunniang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously whispered, "Is this okay?"

It was late at night and the three of them were standing in front of the mural, looking at it. Pei Yuan naturally heard what Song Chunniang said.

His eyes moved over subconsciously.

Then, my heart was filled with ecstasy!

That rat sack!
Before Pei Yuan asked Yun Buxian to take the green-glazed porcelain vase, he had fantasized whether this money-moving kid could help him get the treasure out.

Unfortunately, there are fantasies, but not much hope.

Because this little money-moving kid’s previous performance was so poor.

Even if you use the best yellow paper, incense and candles in the world, you can only steal a copper coin from him.

But I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it.

This "little money-moving devil" is timid in the three-dimensional world, but strikes hard in the two-dimensional world!
Pei Yuan was already overjoyed that it could help him get that large sum of money from the mural, but looking at the current situation, it was clear that it was eyeing the sack containing the mice.

If Pei Yuan could get this sack, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Not to mention that he would be able to carry with him a large group of rats that could launch a fierce attack in the future, the mere ability of those rats to steal things to the second dimension was enough to make Pei Yuan extremely happy.

Pei Yuan's eyes were fixed on the gloomy and damp atmosphere on the wall, spreading towards the sack containing the rats, and he didn't dare to breathe.

The greedy monk on the mural has begun to panic completely.

But he seemed to be suppressed by something, and apart from tiny movements, he was unable to make any response.

He couldn't even bear to watch the treasure being stolen.

The second dimension is the second dimension. No matter how much he moves his eyes, he cannot see things in the same plane as him.

Just as Pei Yuan was anxiously waiting, Chen Toutie also rushed over with three centurions: Tan Tai Fangtu, Sikong Sui and Cui Bohou.

Chen Toutie didn't know how to say it, so he just told the three people that Captain Pei had invited him, and refused to say anything else.

The three of them were a little puzzled, and it was not until they arrived at this side courtyard that Tan Tai Fang Tu finally came to his senses.

Because it was originally his turn to be on duty tonight, and as soon as he changed shifts today, these people caused trouble here, which inevitably made him more suspicious.

By the way, he noticed the strange behavior of Chen Toutie today.

When Pei Yuan heard the noise, he turned around to look at a few people, then looked at the mural.

After confirming that the tide of darkness had not yet spread, he turned back and said to the three people, "I just happen to have something to tell you."

Pei Yuan started the conversation, and Sikong Sui followed suit and asked, "Why did Qian Hu come here again? Is there any progress?"

Pei Yuan hummed.

The three hundred households were all shocked when they heard this.

Then Pei Yuan pointed at the green-glazed porcelain bottle that was still clinking.

"It all depends on this thing."

After that, he explained, "When I discovered the clues of this evil monk, I thought of a treasure in my house that might be useful. So I asked Yun Buxian, the son of Yun Weilin from Da Ci'en Temple, to bring it to me from the capital."

"I wanted to give it a try, but I wasn't sure myself. I was also worried that the Jinyiwei under me had too many people and it would be easy for the news to leak out, so I asked Chen Toutie to take over the duty."

Pei Yuan's words were meant to explain the whole story to the three centurions who were kept in the dark, and to comfort Tan Tai Fangtu who had been transferred away on the pretext of something.

Tan Tai Fang Tu obviously also figured out what was going on.

Doesn’t this just mean that you don’t trust me? What’s the point of saying so much?

But, it is really useful.

At least on the surface, the situation is less awkward for both parties.

This is what is called useful nonsense.

It would have been better if Tan Tai Fang Tu had taken advantage of the situation to show his magnanimity and understanding, but unfortunately Master Tan Tai remained expressionless and said nothing.

The other two centurions did not have as deep a sense of involvement as Tan Tai Fangtu; they were more concerned about the results.

"And then, was it effective?"

Pei Yuan didn't explain much and just pointed at the wall.

Sikong Sui and Cui Bohou hurriedly moved closer to take a look. Tan Tai Fangtu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't suppress her curiosity, so she moved closer and also stood on tiptoe behind the crowd.

Sikong Sui took a look and immediately said, "The money on the mural is much less."

After saying this, his eyes immediately moved to the green-glazed porcelain bottle in the distance that was still making a jingling sound.

He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Have they all been taken out? In that porcelain bottle?"

Pei Yuan nodded, "Not bad."

Si Kong Sui immediately realized a problem, "Is it just our money?"

Pei Yuan called the man over and didn't think of hiding it. "There is other money, take it all out."

Sikong Sui took a deep breath after hearing this.

His eyes flashed, and then he looked at Pei Yuan, and said in an envious and complicated tone, "Then congratulations to Captain Pei."

This method was thought up by Pei Yuan, and the treasure also belongs to Pei Yuan. Being able to extract money from the murals is his ability.

Sikong Sui would be thankful as long as the money from the court could be replenished and this mission would not be delayed.

If some idiot really comes out and says that all this is stolen silver, then Sikong Sui would be willing to do Pei Yuan a favor and help deal with it.

As for how much this bastard Pei Yuan will earn...

Damn, why doesn't this guy just die?
Various expressions conflicted with each other on Sikong Sui's face, and for a moment, it was hard to describe in words.

Cui Bohou and Tan Tai Fangtu also had different feelings in their hearts.

But Pei Yuan said calmly, "I can't say I'm congratulating you. I'm planning to give the money to Captain Han and let her make the decision. I think after this matter is over, you brothers should be able to get a share."

Pei Yuan was not lying when he said this. When the two of them made a fortune in Huai'an, what would it matter if he took out a little money to boost morale?
Sikong Sui was shocked when he heard this. "You said you wanted to give the money to Han Qianhu?"

Without waiting for Pei Yuan to answer, he subconsciously asked, "How much is this?"

In Sikong Sui's impression, although Han Qianhu was not very well-off, he was indeed a very generous person.

He was now calculating how much he could get.

If we compare the amount of silver lost with the amount on the mural, there must be at least 20,000 taels. This is a piece of fat meat.

Tan Tai Fang Tu and Cui Bo Hou were also a little shocked.

What Sikong Sui could think of, they could also think of, and they also roughly estimated the scale of the money.

Captain Pei just took out such a huge sum of money like that?
Atmosphere!
Even Tan Tai Fang Tu's impression of Pei Yuan had changed a little, and the resentment he had felt for being deliberately sent away due to distrust had disappeared.

As long as the money is paid, what else is there to say about the unhappiness at work?

When Sikong Sui asked this, he really touched Pei Yuan's heart.

He subconsciously straightened his back and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I, Pei, am loyal to Han Qianhu. Let alone this little money, even my beautiful body, no, my beautiful head, can be taken away!"
