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

Chapter 380 Continued
In other words, although on the surface, everyone thought that Captain Han had expressed his anger at Deputy Captain Pei's frivolity and had punished him.

However, Pei Yuan, who had been tormented several times by Han Qianhu's "Riddle Man Characteristics", could see another hidden meaning in it.

Han Qianhu's straight ball attack against Pei Yuanxin...

Still indulgent.

Tell her myself that I like her.

Tell her myself that I love her Pei Yuan.

In fact, Han Qianhu did not give any response...

Pei Yuan's heart began to beat violently.

The strange looks everyone gave him no longer mattered.

Because Han Qianhu saw him.

She could see the beauty in that strong man who had everything planned out and controlled, yet he was funny and clumsy in front of her.

So, when that guy, who used meticulous and serial huge conspiracies to play with more than 100,000 rebels and hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, used all his wisdom, concentrated on calculating, and waited for the opportunity to eavesdrop on Han Qianhu.

Only Captain Han would indulge this childish guy.

Pei Yuan was overjoyed and laughed, "Bring me some paper and pen."

Everyone was confused, but Sikong Sui raised an eyebrow, not sure if he was instigating or persuading her, "Be careful, Qian Hu! Explain it to her!"

Pei Yuan didn't care about those things.

He asked someone to bring paper and pen, and thinking about Han Qianhu's matter, Pei Yuan began to think about it with the pen.

Perhaps it was because of the implicit response that Pei Yuan's thoughts became active.

He continued to attack with a straight ball, writing love words that were not perfunctory at all.

Fortunately, Pei Yuan knew his limits. After a brief teasing, he quickly had the letter sealed and then delivered it to Yang Fang.

Yang Fang looked at the letter in his hand, then looked at Pei Yuan, with an expression on his face as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Why are you still here?
Finally, he said, "I will deliver the letter to Qianhu as soon as possible."

Pei Yuan was in a good mood. He called Cheng Zhihu and asked him to take Yang Fang and his followers downstairs to eat and rest.

After arranging Yang Fang, he turned around and saw several of his subordinates looking at him with sharp eyes.

Song Chunniang's face was full of curiosity.

Her life plan of getting promoted, starting a family, and being content with a small fortune was once again greatly shaken.

The two old officials, Tan Tai Fang Tu and Si Kong Sui, were no longer as gloomy as usual, and looked eager to share the worries of their superiors.

The expressions on these people's faces were just short of saying, "Just tell me."

Only Chen Toutie appeared slightly calm.

Pei Yuan was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and shouted angrily without any courtesy, "Get out of here!"

The subordinates did not dare to disobey Pei Yuan and left in disappointment.

Song Chunniang looked at Pei Yuan several times and felt that it would be better not to cause trouble at this time.

However, Pei Yuan, seeing that Song Chunniang was about to leave, stopped her and handed her the white paper fan.

"This is for you to use first."

Song Chunniang was a little surprised. "For me?"

Pei Yuan rudely shattered her fantasy, "It's a loan."

After saying this, he glanced at a few subordinates who were reluctant to leave.

Those people immediately quickened their pace.

Only then did Pei Yuan tell Song Chunniang the secret of Monk Daigu.

When Song Chunniang heard that the fan contained the soul of one of the eight monks from Huangjue Temple who had accompanied Taizu in conquering the world, she immediately became uneasy.

"You mean, if we can release the soul seal of the original monk Daigo and let him take over the body of that little bald guy, that guy's combat power will increase dramatically?"

Pei Yuan thought about the original monk Daigo who was suppressed by Han Qianhu, and felt that it should not be used as a criterion for judgment, so he said, "Probably like this."

He added, "There is another set of spells, called the Great Wisdom Sword Seal. After taking over the body, you can use the Great Wisdom Sword Seal to attack the soul of the original monk Daigo, thus forcing him to drive him."

From then on, Song Chunniang was the controller of Monk Daigu and the white paper fan. Pei Yuan told her in detail about Monk Daigu and the old man who possessed someone else's body.

Song Chunniang listened, looking at the white paper fan in her hand from time to time, and was very excited.

Song Chunniang's thoughts raced, and she suddenly asked Pei Yuan, "That greedy monk who stole our silver back then also came from this place, right?"

Pei Yuan did not hide it from her, "Well, that Greedy Monk was also one of the Eight Monks of Huangjue Temple. In addition, there was also the original owner of my Heart Demon Robe, the Heart Demon Monk. As for the others, I am not very clear."

Song Chunniang thought of something and asked, "I remember the mural of the monk Tannian, it seems that there was also a seal in his hand."

Song Chunniang asked casually, "Does your mouse pocket also need that seal to be complete?"

Pei Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He slowly thought about the causes and consequences of the incident.

He remembered that it seemed that from that time on, he began to become more bold towards Han Qianhu.

Is this because Han Qianhu is the one he "can't get"?
Or is it because the "elusive" antidote is in Han Qianhu's hands?

Was it because Han Qianhu's subsequent indulgence of himself was also because he believed that he was bewitched by greed?

Thinking of Han Qianhu's warnings about greed, Pei Yuan repeatedly asked himself, this greed... really didn't harm me.

I was originally greedy for Han Qianhu.

It's okay, it's okay.

The ambitious subordinates who have gone astray are just waiting to be saved by Han Qianhu in the future.

Pei Yuan taught Song Chunniang in detail how to make the Dahui sword seal and how to put her mind into it, and then he drove the overjoyed Song Zongqi out.

After all... there are so many people around now and we have to avoid suspicion.

Pei Yuan looked at the remaining treasures again, tied the mouse bag carefully around his waist, and carefully picked up the green-glazed porcelain bottle.

Since this treasure fell into Pei Yuan's hands, it has only played a role a few times, but the effect it played was extremely crucial every time.

The first time, he got a "Xu Zhu" coin and met Zhang Cong, a fierce man who was able to defeat Yang Tinghe.

Afterwards, he used the money-moving ghost to move the silver and money, the rat pocket, the remains of the greedy monk, etc. out of the mural of the greedy monk.

Later, they also used white paper fans and mouse bags to help them transport the silver without anyone noticing, and successfully pocketed the unexpected windfall.

Good stuff, good stuff.

As Pei Yuan thought about it, he liked Cheng Zhihu even more.

After leaving the Buddhist hall, Pei Yuan immediately asked someone to find Cheng Zhihu.

Cheng Zhihu thought he was asking about the special envoy, so he reported to him first, "Captain, I have already made arrangements for General Yang and his men."

Pei Yuan raised the green-glazed porcelain bottle in his hand and said to Cheng Zhihu with a smile, "Go find Kong Xu and I'll change your clothes for you. You have made a great contribution by offering the treasure, and you will be the general flag in the future."

Cheng Zhihu was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.

After getting the green-glazed porcelain vase, Pei Yuan also felt a little itchy.

I wanted to try it at night, but I was thinking that this was a temple after all, and if I summoned the money-carrying ghost rashly, there would be no harm.

I immediately decided to return to my house in Dengshikou tonight.

Pei Yuan still has a lot of yellow paper incense and candles left over, which can be used.

As it was getting dark, Pei Yuan left Zhihua Temple after dinner and returned home surrounded by his men.

Pei Yuan got drunk last night and didn't come back. After he came back today, he was concerned about Jiao Huangzhong's situation and didn't want to see Jiao Yaner.

Song Chunniang had moved out since Old Escort Song came to the capital. Now the only ones who could serve her at home were the two singing girls from the Jiaofang Bureau sent by Zang Xian.

The two women are very delicious, and there is a little bit of sentimentality to add to them.

Pei Yuan asked the maid to tell Jiao Yan'er that he would stay in the front yard to rest, and he also called the two singing girls from the Music Bureau to have a good time.

Around midnight, Pei Yuan struggled out from those pink arms and white legs.

The two women were about to wake up in a daze.

Pei Yuan put on his clothes and said in a slightly heavier tone, "Go to sleep, don't meddle in other people's business."

After hearing this, the two girls' sleepiness disappeared, but they closed their eyes obediently and dared not say a word.

Pei Yuan took the incense, candles, and paper money that he had prepared long ago and went to the courtyard.

Afterwards, he took out the green-glazed porcelain vase and placed it under the only big locust tree in the yard.

Pei Yuan is rich now, so of course he cannot treat the little boy who has worked so hard to move the money badly.

First, light the precious candle, then burn the agarwood, and insert it in front of the green-glazed porcelain vase. Then slowly light the fire, take out a lot of exquisitely made yellow paper, and burn it for the little devil who carries money.

As the yellow paper burned, the flame on the candle also danced more vigorously.

Pei Yuan thought that if he took this thing with him when he went to Shandong this time, it would inevitably get bumped into, so he planned to leave the celadon porcelain vase behind like he did last time.

If you need it, just ask someone to come back and get it.

So, he simply took out all the paper money he had knocked over last time and burned it all for the money-carrying ghost.

Pei Qianhu burned the gas, but it burned very quickly and it didn't take long for it to turn into gray smoke.

Seeing the yellow paper burn out, the precious candle still went out quietly and economically.

Pei Yuan smiled, knowing that the money-moving kid had to go out to work.

If I light it again without knowing better, that little kid who is used to being poor will probably be worried about it all the way.

Pei Yuan found a rocking chair, wrapped himself in a thick blanket, and waited slowly under the sparse starry sky.

The starry sky makes the night more distant, and the night makes the starry sky more vast.

Pei Yuan was thinking about things, and was slowly invaded by the chill of the night.

Just as I was in a trance, I heard a crisp "ding-dong" sound coming from the green-glazed porcelain vase, as if a coin had fallen into it.

Pei Yuan came back to his senses.

Looking at the porcelain bottle, I felt like laughing.

A penny, even a few zhu, is no longer important to Pei Yuan.

The desperation that made me want to hold on to even a penny has slowly faded away in my memory.

Pei Yuan still waited until the incense stick burned out before taking the green-glazed porcelain bottle.

When he removed the cork and tilted the cup, a coin fell into his palm.

Pei Yuan took a look and put it down.

Then he reacted, quickly raised it again, and looked at it carefully from a closer distance.

In the dim moonlight, Pei Yuan could clearly see two strange characters on each side of the coin hole.

Pei Yuan was extremely familiar with these two words.

——"Continue!"

Pei Yuan turned the coin over and over in his palm in surprise. Was it another Xuzhu coin?

But unlike the last Xu Zhu coin, this Xu Zhu coin seemed to have been rubbed and played with countless times.

Not only was it wiped clean, but there was also a little bit of grease on the surface of the copper coin, which made the coin look faintly shiny under the faint and soft moonlight.

"What a good stuff." Pei Yuan bounced up and landed in his palm.

Without considering the beautiful meaning and aspirations of Xu Zhu, just measuring it in terms of money, it is no less than one hundred taels of silver.

Pei Yuan was somewhat happy, but not as happy as before.

He put away the coins and the green-glazed porcelain vase and returned to his room.

Pei Yuan had been outside for quite some time, and he felt a little cold when he entered the room.

He hurriedly took off his clothes and went back to bed to continue sleeping.

When he got to the bed, he clearly felt the beauty's body suddenly tense up.

Pei Yuan was too lazy to coax him, and slapped him on the butt, "Don't worry, it's none of your business."

A beauty hummed softly, but she was obviously relaxed.

Then two warm bodies entangled with each other, making Pei Yuan's body quickly warm up.

The next morning, Pei Yuan went to Zhihua Temple to summon Tian Fu. He thought of a random name and asked Tian Fu to write a memorial, and then took it to the Tongzhengsi.

Although Wei Ne, the Left Counselor of the Ministry of Public Administration, was willing to be his spy, matters like intelligence could not be sloppy.

Occasionally going to the front line to supervise the battle can make Wei Ne more alert.

Pei Yuan is now mainly concerned about the developments of two things. One is whether the ceasefire on the Huguang front is proceeding as he expected, and the other is whether the high pressure exerted in Shandong has made the local officials begin to succumb.

Only when Pei Yuan proved to King Ning that he could suppress the government army with one hand and the Bazhou army with the other, did King Ning dare to take a huge risk and collude with Liu Liu and Liu Qi of the Bazhou army.

If anything goes wrong, Prince Ning will definitely retreat immediately, and then the situation will become ugly.

As for Shandong, Pei Yuan was very relieved.

There is always no shortage of speculators in this world.

Pei Yuan arrived at the Tongzhengsi and handed in the "Trial Memorial on Strengthening Safety Management of Temple Prayer Activities" he had just written in the morning.

Wei Ne saw Pei Yuan coming over. After hesitating for a while, he finally came over under the attention of all kinds of eyes and asked, "Captain Pei, how come you have time to come here in person? If you have anything to say, just call me."

There are no secrets in officialdom.

Shortly after Wei Ne attended Pei Yuan's concubine-taking banquet, rumors began to circulate, half true and half false, about him attending a very important banquet.

Some people swore that Wei Ne had successfully jumped ship from Liu Jin's remnants and someone wanted to protect him.

Some people also said that Wei Ne was just a guide, and the reason why he was able to go to the banquet was actually because of someone else.

Wei Ne could clearly feel the change in attitude of the people around him.

Although Wei Ne was not very confident that Pei Yuan would protect him, as a retired person with little chance of making a comeback, it felt good to act like a bully in such a secretive way.

Today, when Wei Ne saw Pei Yuan coming, after hesitating for a long time, he decided to recognize his master decisively.

If Pei Yuan could keep him, everyone would be happy. If Pei Yuan really couldn't keep him, Wei Ne wouldn't mind dragging Pei Yuan down with him.

Pei Yuan smiled and pointed at the document he had just delivered with his chin, "Just hand over the memorial and I'll do my thing."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ne did not ask any more questions and went back to his desk.

Suddenly, Yang Wei, the right Tongzheng official in charge of transcribing documents, came back in a hurry. He looked around with great excitement, and when he saw a stranger, he restrained himself and went to the Tongzhengshi's room.

Pei Yuan was somewhat curious and asked Wei Ne, "What did this person do just now?"

Wei Ne said, "He should have gone to the cabinet to deliver the book."

"The cabinet." Thinking of the expression of Right Minister Yang Wei just now, Pei Yuan became interested and motioned to Wei Ne, "Go and ask around to see what's going on."

Weiner whispered, "It's going to take some time."

Wei Ne had been almost ostracized in the Ministry of Public Administration and had no social connections.

Fortunately, with the rumors that Wei Ne might make a comeback, some minor officials working in the Ministry of Public Administration began to be polite to Wei Ne again.
