Chapter 16
This banknote of 100,000 taels of silver is yours; this one is mine!
This banknote of 50,000 taels of silver is yours; this one is mine!
These two banknotes of 10,000 taels of silver are yours; these two are mine!
At this moment, Lin Beifan was face to face with the young girl Yaoyao, dividing the spoils.
These experts, who usually move about loftily and consider the world their home, mainly carry banknotes on them, which Lin Beifan and his companion were gradually splitting up.
Yaoyao held a thick stack of banknotes in her hands, smiling like a money-grubber: In just a few days, weve made over two million taels. Weve struck it rich! You mustnt forget me if theres ever such a good opportunity again!
Of course! Lin Beifan was also very happy.
Without having to do anything, he had made over two million taels, which was almost equivalent to nearly a years income from the national treasury. What a thrill!
At that moment, Yaoyaos eyes glanced greedily at the banknotes in Lin Beifans hands and she said covetously, Remember our initial agreement, after the job is done, you were to give me a little extra. Dont go back on your word!
Fine then, this ones for you! Lin Beifan said with a pang of heartache as he took out a silver note worth 1,000 taels.
Yaoyao became angry: Give more! Just 1,000 taels, are you treating me like a beggar?
Lin Beifan, again with a heartache, took out another silver note: 5,000 taels of silver, that should be enough, right?
Thats too little, give more, or Ill resort to robbery!
So, with immense heartache, Lin Beifan took out a silver note valued at 10,000 taels.
Yaoyao, clenching her little fists and fuming, said, Dont force me to get physical!
In the end, she swiped 200,000 taels from Lin Beifan.
Clutching the remaining 2 million taels, Lin Beifan trembled and said, No more! I cant give you any more! Ive worked hard to earn this. If you want more, you might as well take my life!
Alright, alright, I dont want the rest. Happy now?
Yaoyao muttered, Stingy!
Calling me stingy, why dont you give back those 200,000 taels! Lin Beifan joked with a laugh.
Why should I? This is money Ive earned through hard work, getting up early and going to bed late! A workers wages cant be delayed!
Yaoyao stuffed the silver notes into a pouch at her waist, then curiously asked, Weve already cleaned out those peoples money, why keep them alive? Just kill them, end it all, and rid ourselves of future troubles!
Lin Beifan shook his head, No! These people all have significant backgrounds. Perhaps we can still dig something out from them! After Ive made full use of them, then well kill!
With that, the two of them headed to the prison together. fre(e)novelkiss.com
At this moment, the dungeon was holding the experts who had come to carry out an assassination.
Lin Beifan approached an Innate master who was shackled in chains and said, Splash water on him to wake him up!
Yes, Your Majesty! The jailer splashed water to awaken the man.
As soon as the man saw Lin Beifan and the other experts detained there, he instantly understood everything. He let out a laugh, his voice filled with desolation, I never thought that I, who have been wise all my life, would actually fall into the hands of a foolish little emperor like you!
Lin Beifan sneered, This is what happens when you persist in wrongdoingyou bring about your own destruction! I advise you to be sensible and confess to spare yourself the agony of torture!
The man snorted, No matter what you say, I wont speak. You might as well give up on that hope!
Fine, you actually refuse to speak; I greatly admire such a man!
Lin Beifan took a leather whip from the jailers hand and lashed down fiercely: Will you talk or not! Speak or not! Speak or not
The sound of the whip cracking echoed, and the expert was beaten until his skin split and flesh burst open.
Yet, he still clenched his teeth: Hmph! I wont speak!
Lin Beifan continued to swing the whip: If you dont speak, Ill beat you to death!
The other man, valiant and unyielding, retorted: Even if you beat me to death, I wont speak!
Hmph! I dont believe it! Will you speak or not! Speak or not! Speak or not
Lin Beifan continued to wield the whip, beating the man until his flesh was a bloody mess and his bones were exposed.
Finally, the man broke down and roared: Enough, what do you want me to say? At least tell me the question first!
Lin Beifan:
Yaoyao, who was watching the drama unfold, spat out a mouthful of old blood and burst into uncontrollable laughter: Haha you guys are too funny!
After coming out of the dungeon, recalling the scenes from before, Yaoyao still couldnt straighten up from laughter.
Lin Beifan was at a loss for words: Whats so funny?
How is it not funny? I, Yaoyao, have lived for more than a decade, and Ive never seen such an interrogation before. All beating without actual questioning, the criminal broke down by himself, haha Yaoyao laughed until tears came out.
It was my first attempt, some mistakes were made, ah, there shouldnt be any next time! Lin Beifan summarized his experience.
Little foolish emperor, you havent found a use for those 2 million taels yet, have you? Yaoyaos black eyes rolled around.
What are you planning? Lin Beifan asked warily.
Lets make a deal!
Yaoyao said with a smile, You give me those 2 million taels, and if your country falls and your family is ruined, I, Yaoyao, will personally take action to save your life! If you unfortunately die, then Ill burn some extra paper money for you so that you can continue to enjoy yourself in the afterlife. How about that?
