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

Chapter 168 The Way of Checks and Balances
"Alright, alright."

Everyone complained silently in their hearts.

I don’t know which idiot pretended to be cool in front of everyone last time and said, “This woman always wants to teach me how to do things.”

It also caused everyone to spend a lot of time and effort to report him secretly.

Just when Pei Yuan was about to talk about his loyalty to Han Qianhu.

Then Cheng Leixiang said excitedly, "Qian Hu, it's going to work! It's really going to work!"

"What?!" Pei Yuan immediately ignored what he had just said. He walked a few steps to the mural and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, the dampness on the wall had spread to the edge of the sack containing the rats.

Many mice jumped out of the sacks in fear, trying to hide from the damp stains on the wall.

But they could hide, but the sack couldn't move.

Soon the sack on the mural became soaked and the ink gradually faded.

The few people who had already seen how the money-moving kid took away the silver ingots were all very happy and excited.

When the ink completely disappears, it's time to take the sack away!

Sikong Sui, Tantai Fangtu and Cui Bohou also figured out what these guys were so excited about.

They had all experienced being besieged by rats, and had also seen how these rats stole the silver to the second dimension.

Apart from anything else, the rats are still moving around on the mural.

Can this thing be taken out of the painting?
The three of them were extremely envious at once.

What the hell!

Why doesn't he die?
For a time, the workplace ecology, which had just become harmonious because of money, deteriorated again.

This immediately revealed the difference in closeness and distance.

The future of the three general flags all depends on Pei Yuan. If Pei Yuan's strength increases greatly, their backing will be more stable.

So these three naturally hope that Pei Yuan can get this treasure as soon as possible.

But the three hundred households didn’t think so.

Pei Yuan, the deputy captain, was just above them and standing in front of them.

Now that we are stronger, doesn't that mean we can't move anymore?

Although theoretically, the Zhenxie Qianhu Unit can have two deputy Qianhu, but before Pei Yuan, how long had it been since there was a deputy Qianhu?
As far as I can remember, this pattern of one thousand households and five hundred households has lasted for many years.

They didn't dare to think that Captain Han would promote another deputy captain for their promotion.

So when Sikong Sui and others saw that Pei Yuan had a chance to get the rat bag, they felt as if their father had died.

As everyone waited with bated breath, the sack on the mural completely disappeared.

Pei Yuan subconsciously looked at the green-glazed porcelain vase.

Ok?
Why is there no sound?

Then, I felt a little stupid.

What kind of noise can be made if a sack is stuffed inside?

Pei Yuan saw that all the money in the mural had been taken away and the precious sack containing the mice had also been obtained, so he immediately took the green-glazed porcelain bottle in his hand with confidence.

I shook it and heard a muffled noise inside.

Pei Yuan guessed that the sack must have blocked the space in the bottle, so the sound of the silver coins colliding could not be heard.

He had taken "Xuzhu Money" from this green-glazed porcelain bottle before, and knew that it did not require any special method. He just had to turn the bottle mouth downward and pour the contents out.

But at this moment, he also noticed the envious and jealous eyes of the three hundred households.

He thought to himself that even though these three guys wouldn't ruin his business, it was always better not to show off one's wealth.

Even if you want to take it out, you have to find a quiet place.

Get this mouse bag first, and wait until you figure out how to use it before you can meet people.

Pei Yuan paused slightly.

Sikong Sui coughed lightly beside him, "Don't worry, sir. We all know what to say and what not to say."

Sikong Sui was the first to face reality.

What's the use of being jealous? What belongs to others should still belong to them.

At this moment, Tan Tai Fang Tu remembered Pei Yuan's loyal face just now, and couldn't help but grinning, "Si Kong, you worry too much. The Lord is so loyal to Han Qian Hu, do you really need to say more about this matter?"

Pei Yuan was secretly angry when he heard this.

I finally got a good treasure that can be used as a backup, how can I just give it to Han Qianhu?

This old rogue, Tan Tai Fang Tu, is really fucking disgusting when he gets mean.

Pei Yuan put the green-glazed porcelain bottle into his sleeve and was too lazy to pay attention to the three people.

I was just about to say a few polite words to tell them to get out.

Then Chen Toutie said in a dry voice, "Qian Hu, something is wrong."

Pei Yuan was startled when he heard this and looked at Chen Toutie.

Chen Toutie pointed at the wall and said, "Qian Hu, look."

Pei Yuan looked towards the wall, and with just one glance, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

The little money-moving ghost, who was supposed to return triumphantly, had no intention of stopping at all. The traces of the dark tide actually slowly extended towards the greedy monk.

Pei Yuan's eyes widened.

The timid little money-moving kid in the three-dimensional world actually strikes out hard in the two-dimensional world!

Is this guy planning to bring out the Greedy Monk as well? !

I rely on!

Now Pei Yuan no longer cared about the matter of the mouse pocket. He was quickly calculating the gains and losses of this matter in his mind.

It only took Pei Yuan a moment to understand the situation.

This greedy monk must not be provoked!

Regardless of whether the Greedy Monk was suppressed in this wall or was surviving by it, he was definitely not someone Pei Yuan could afford to provoke at this stage!
Just do a side-by-side comparison.

Some time ago in Suzhou, the monk Daigo suddenly awakened, and with only a remnant soul controlling a body, he displayed terrifying power.

If Han Qianhu had not been present, Pei Yuan would probably have died on the spot.

Another one is the inner demon monk.

Although Pei Yuan had never seen the methods of the Heart Demon Monk, he had seen the Heart Demon Robe that could subdue Yue Qingfeng in one fell swoop!

Therefore, once this greedy monk was taken out of the mural, no one present would be able to fight him.

Pei Yuan quickly took out the green-glazed porcelain bottle and shouted, "Enough, enough! Come back quickly!"

However, the money-carrying kid seemed to have not heard anything at all, and still moved towards the greedy monk unwaveringly.

I rely on!

Pei Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat.

Just now, when he was extremely greedy, he didn't notice anything, but now that he saw the money-moving kid was recklessly trying to provoke the greedy monk, he realized that he was panicking.

At this moment, he realized that it seemed that everyone present had been inadvertently aroused to greed.

Even the money-moving kid was blinded by greed and wanted to take the greedy monk out of the mural.

Pei Yuan looked at the celadon porcelain bottle in his hand and decisively placed his hand on the Bazhou sword at his waist. No matter how precious this celadon porcelain bottle was, when it came time to make a decision, Pei Yuan would never hesitate.

Fortunately, Song Chunniang had been paying attention to Pei Yuan. Seeing that Pei Yuan was about to act recklessly, she rolled her eyes and reminded him, "Just destroy that greedy monk."

Pei Yuan slapped his forehead suddenly.

Depend on!
He drew out his Bazhou sword and stabbed it hard into the wall.

One knife first pierced the heart of the Greedy Monk, then another knife cut open the Greedy Monk's neck on the mural, and then several consecutive knives cut off the Greedy Monk's limbs.

The greedy monk's strange smile on the mural finally froze.

Just then, the traces of dampness seeped over.

The greedy monk who was beheaded and had his limbs chopped off by Pei Yuan slowly faded away.

Pei Yuan felt a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, he killed the Greedy Monk in the two-dimensional world on the mural, so even if the money-carrying ghost dragged him to the three-dimensional world, he would definitely be dead.

But after all, it would be better to leave the monk on the wall forever so that people can feel at ease.

I have never learned the technical skills of touching corpses.

It's no use getting it out.

Pei Yuan looked at the gradually fading figure of the greedy monk on the wall, and then at the green-glazed porcelain bottle in his hand.

In this way, the matter of the rat pocket could no longer be hidden from Han Qianhu.

After a while, the figure of the greedy monk on the wall completely disappeared.

Then, the dampness that had almost spread across the entire wall dissipated instantly.

Obviously, the money-making kid who had been attacking hard in the second dimension has finished his work.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then turned their eyes to the green-glazed porcelain bottle in Pei Yuan's hand.

Pei Yuan's face turned red and white.

He had no regrets about giving up the money. After all, Han Qianhu would only help him make more money by using it to speculate in commodities.

Pei Yuan had no need for the corpse of the greedy monk. Even if there was something dropped, it was not something he could covet with his ability.

But it's a shame about that rat pocket.

Who doesn’t want more cards?

Pei Yuan's long-term debt-avoidance life made him develop a strong sense of insecurity.

The smooth sailing these days had dispelled a lot of his insecurity, but at this moment, that insecurity came back again.

Taking advantage of the incident of the rat pocket, Pei Yuan carefully reviewed everything he had experienced.

Everything about him now seems to be too closely tied to Han Qianhu.

Moreover, in the interactions between the two sides, their position is at an absolute disadvantage.

Not to mention the issue of Huai'an roasted nuts, there is no clear agreement between the two parties on the distribution of profits.

Even if both parties make an agreement, how much Han Qianhu can get in the end depends on his decision.

Furthermore, today's harvest will inevitably have to be handed over to Han Qianhu.

After all, that green-glazed porcelain bottle contains a guy who can survive in the second dimension.

Who knows if there is any hidden hand in his body?
If Pei Yuan wanted to play it safe, he could only ask Han Qianhu to take action to resolve the problem.

In this way, we are once again controlled by others.

Whether this rat pocket, or even this green-glazed porcelain bottle, can return to his hands is still up to Han Qianhu's thoughts.

When Pei Yuan carefully reviewed all of this, he immediately realized a very tricky problem.

He had almost no ability to fight against Han Qianhu.

The prestige and control he had built up over the Jinyiwei were like castles in the air when facing Han Qianhu.

If Captain Han really wanted to deal with him, Pei Yuan might not even dare to trust Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang. Perhaps only Song Chunniang could muster up the courage to help him overthrow Captain Han.

Pei Yuan looked at the green-glazed porcelain bottle in his hand and looked slightly relieved.

He said, "Okay. Everything will be decided by Han Qianhu."

The focus now is no longer the ownership of these things, but that Pei Yuan must find a way to achieve a certain check and balance on Han Qianhu.

Otherwise, life would be unbearable.

With the disappearance of the greedy monk, the greed lingering in the hearts of the three general banners and the three hundred households was slowly fading away.

Sikong Sui was the first to regret.

He is already quite old, so it is a no-brainer for him to be promoted to deputy captain.

No matter if he made some achievements or spent some money, even if the court gave him a commanding associate or assistant commander, as long as Captain Han did not nod, he would have no hope of getting the ivory badge.

Then why did he find trouble with Pei Yuan just now?
From Sikong Sui's perspective, having a strong deputy captain is actually not a bad thing.

At least no matter what happens, there is always someone rushing to the front, and when there is trouble, there are people racking their brains.

If a scumbag deputy captain really became their immediate superior, most of their time would probably be spent on internal conflicts.

The smarter ones will try to strike a balance, while the dumber ones may just start suppressing directly.

The most likely possibility is that Sikong Sui and others will simply leave and be replaced by a few more despicable and easy-to-control centurions.

Therefore, Sikong Sui and Pei Yuan can coexist harmoniously.

When Sikong Sui thought of this, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

He hurriedly said to Pei Yuan awkwardly, "I just said something without meaning it. I don't know what nonsense I said."

Pei Yuan said coldly, "No need to mention it again."

But in my heart, I am calm and indifferent.

Pei Yuan glanced at everyone and ordered, "Don't spread what happened today. If anyone notices the situation here tomorrow, tell them that the wall has been destroyed to prevent the monster from causing trouble again."

Pei Yuan said this and deliberately emphasized, "Even if someone from your own side asks, you should say this. People's hearts are hidden..."

Pei Yuan spoke sarcastically while glancing at Sikong Sui.

Not only did Sikong Sui feel a little embarrassed, but even Tan Tai Fangtu and Cui Bohou felt that this sentence was directed at them.

The three of them responded sullenly, "We understand."

Pei Yuan didn't care about anything at this moment, and asked Sikong Sui directly, "Last time I asked you to contact Han Qianhu, so many days have passed, is there any result?"

Seeing that Pei Yuan did not continue the previous topic, Sikong Sui tactfully replied, "I contacted several places and finally learned that it seemed that someone in Henan was causing trouble. Captain Han rushed to deal with it urgently."

Pei Yuan was startled when he heard this.

Could it be the White Lotus Sect mentioned last time?

Could it be that something unexpected really happened?

These two places in Shandong and Henan are the bases of the Bazhou rebels.

Now that the Bazhou rebels have not been wiped out yet, a new turmoil is about to emerge?

Pei Yuan didn't have time to think about it. He frowned and asked, "Have you received any accurate information about when Captain Han will be back?"

Sikong Sui replied, "There was no movement a few days ago, but yesterday, there was news that Han Qianhu was seen in Huai'an Prefecture. According to the schedule, he should be here soon."

"Huaian Prefecture?" Pei Yuan thought to himself, could it be that Han Xiaoliu went there to scout the place in advance?
White Lotus Rebellion, Bazhou Rebellion, Huai'an Prefecture.

These three words entered Pei Yuan's mind in an instant, and it seemed as if Pei Yuan had grasped something.
