The bright sunlight shone on the gold and silver jewels in the chest, reflecting a dazzling rainbow of light.

An Rui grabbed the treasures in the box one by one, some of them were put aside, some were weighed on the scales, and then put them aside.

Shafi, Berego, and Sam stood across the table, all looking at the scene with different eyes.

Fiddling with a lot of treasure is a pleasant thing in itself, not to mention that Anrui is not playing around, but sharing dividends. These treasures that have been divided will be shared by everyone later, and no one will be indispensable.

Last night's operation was a great success, not only killing Brent and Sharod, but also obtaining a chest of treasure. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts, of course, An Rui can't be alone, otherwise, who will do things for him in the future.

For dividends, Anrui has a clear standard in his heart, knowing how to divide it, who should give more and who to give less.

He planned to divide the treasure into three parts.

One of them was used to deal with the local guards, so as to avoid future troubles, and save the guards from holding him down. This money has to be spent, and it can't be saved. However, the proportion of this money should not be too large, and five hundred gold coins is about the same.

The second copy he had to keep for himself to buy the goods he needed to go to sea. This is roughly half of what is left after the money spent on bribes to the guards.

The third share is distributed to the companions, and the remaining amount is counted as much as the amount of merit, and the merit is rewarded according to the amount of effort and the level of strength. This time, Sam had the most credit, so he received the most money, Shafi was strong, ranking second, and Berego had limited credit, so he could only be at the bottom.

This distribution method is already very kind, and An Rui did not take the lion's head alone, but divided it in half with his companions. Some greedy maritime merchants or pirate leaders, whenever they make money, they all eat it alone, and often only give one-tenth to two-tenths of the money to their subordinates.

Regarding the dividend plan, Anrui has already explained it to his peers, and it has been unanimously agreed by everyone, and no one has any objections.

"It's divided." An Rui withdrew his hands, stretched them out, and looked at his companions opposite with a smile. In front of him lay five piles of treasures, the largest two, one for the guards, and one for himself, and the other three for his companions.

Looking at the piles of jewels, the three people on the other side of the table were all moved, and no one in this world could resist this temptation.

"It's still a lot of people, and if it were one person alone, none of us would be able to clean up the Brent group, but we are different together, and it doesn't take much effort to clean up the Brent group." An Rui looked at the piles of treasures in front of him and said with heartfelt emotion.

"It's not hard to clean them up, but I'm afraid that the guards will get us in trouble, and one of the guards has been following us last night." Shafi worried.

"It's okay, don't worry. I'll go talk to the local guards. I know their policies very well, as long as they give money, they can naturally turn big things into small things. And they themselves were the beneficiaries of the incident, and they heard that the local guards had taken all of Brent's property. ”

"If you want to negotiate, it's better to hurry."

"Actually, I wanted to talk to the captain named Bernie last night, but unfortunately there were too many people at the time, and he refused to go to the alley with me to talk alone, so I had to give up. Later, I will send a letter to him and ask him to come over, and I will talk to him again when the time comes. An Rui waved his hand, and then pushed the pile of treasures in front of him forward, "Okay, let's not talk about that, you guys will take the treasures first." It's yours, Sophie, put it in a bag. ”

These were all the money that everyone deserved, and no one was polite, but each of them packed the treasure in his bag, and everyone rejoiced.

After distributing the money, An Rui set up a banquet to celebrate, and everyone drank happily, more or less a little wine.

After eating, Anrui called a fellow and stuffed a letter into the guy's hand, asking the guy to help deliver the letter to Captain Bernie. The guy knew that Anrui was generous, and he would definitely not let him run in vain, so he accepted the letter with a smile and went out with the letter.

All that's left to do is wait quietly.

The wait was more than two hours.

More than two hours later, Captain Bernie finally arrived and appeared in front of the hotel. He came on his own, and he didn't bring any extra men, as Anrui had explicitly requested in his invitation letter. He was dressed in the standard garb of a captain of the guard, with a helmet on his head, chain mail, and a scarlet cloak flung behind him, shaking like a wave with his steps.

An Rui had already instructed, and when the hotel guy saw Bernie coming, he hurriedly guided him, led Bernie to the room where An Rui was, and arranged for the two to meet.

"Captain Bernie, we're meeting again." An Rui smiled at Bernie and greeted.

"Yes, I didn't expect me to meet you, a 'passerby', again." Bernie grimaced, sarcastic.

"I couldn't have slammed the blade into the blade of my sword in that situation last night, of course, and I ask Captain Bernie not to be surprised. It's just the two of us here, and there are no outsiders here, so we can open the skylight and say something bright, so we don't have to tell the lie like last night. ”

"Very well, I like to hear the truth and hate to listen to lies. Tell me, did you kill Brent and his men? ”

"That's right, I killed him, and I have a grudge against him." An Rui admitted neatly.

Seeing that Anrui agreed so happily, Bernie was a little surprised and stunned for a moment. Looking at An Rui's attitude, it is obvious that he has no fear.

"Iron Cannon Harbor is a place with laws, and killing someone is to pay for your life, don't you know the way?" Bernie asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I know the way, but I also know the way, the Iron Cannon Port is a place that pays attention to human feelings, and everything is easy to discuss. As far as I know, the Guards have taken over Brent's property, and must have benefited a lot from it, right? An Rui asked with a smile.

"Brent is dead, and there is no one to take over the property, so naturally it will be taken over by the local government, which is understandable."

"It's true, I don't have any opinion, I just want to say that Brent's death is good for everyone. In that case, why don't the local guards open up and forget about it? ”

"With so many people dying overnight, there is a lot of panic in the hearts of the people, and we, as the guards who manage law and order, can't act as if nothing has happened. An Rui, you have done too arrogantly this time, and you have actually washed Brent's mansion in front of so many people. Now people outside are talking about it, and the impact is quite bad. Bernie said dissatisfied.

The smile on Anrui's face grew even stronger, and it was his intention to make a big deal out of it, only in this way could he make a name for himself in Iron Cannon Harbor and attract crew and sailors to work for him. The shadow of a person's name tree, fame is very important.

As for the aftermath of this incident, there is always a way to calm it down.

"Captain Bernie, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you, just tell me the truth, how can I get the guards to stop pursuing this matter?" An Rui's smile faded and asked Zhengse.

"I'm here for this purpose, and since you're a first-time offender this time and have no previous convictions, the captains of the guards and the local Admiral have decided to give you a chance." Bernie reached into his bosom and pulled out a parchment roll, placed it on the table, and spread it out for Anrui to see.

The parchment scroll was sprinkled with many words, and the title was: Pardon.

"The sin you have committed this time is very great, but fortunately, the Admiral has the right to pardon your crime, as long as a thousand gold coins, this pardon is yours. From now on, your crimes will be written off and no one will be held accountable for the matter. Bernie raised his index finger with a small scar and tapped twice on the pardon order, with a hint of ** in his tone.

An Rui's eyebrows furrowed, and this time it was his turn to show dissatisfaction. The appetite of the guards was a little too great, and it was a thousand gold coins when he opened his mouth, which was beyond his expectations and the bottom line of bearing.

"This pardon is a bit expensive." An Rui shook his head.

"I don't think so, I think it's a good price." Bernie leaned forward a little as he spoke, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Don't think I don't know how much benefit you've made this time, I saw your person holding a big box last night, what was in that box?" It can't be candy. ”

"Don't change the subject, we're talking about the pardon, and I'm not interested in talking about the box." An Rui deliberately led the topic back, "A thousand gold coins are indeed a bit expensive, so it's better to ...... How about three hundred gold coins? ”

"Who do you think is the man standing before you, a beggar? Three hundred gold coins are not enough for us captains of the guard. ”

"Four hundred gold coins."

"Looks like you didn't understand what I just said."

"Six hundred gold coins, this is my bottom line, if you can't accept it, please go back." An Rui's face sank, and he stretched out his hand to the door, "I don't have to ask for this pardon, if the guards want to arrest me, just come, I and my companions are happy to accompany me." If I can stain Brent's mansion with blood, I can also stain this inn with blood! ”

Bernie's expression became ugly, he didn't expect An Rui to be so tough, and he actually turned his face when he said it!

In fact, the price explained above is only five hundred gold coins, and the reason why Bernie opened his mouth was just to get a little more benefit from it. Unexpectedly, An Rui didn't eat this set at all, and turned his face directly with him.

An Rui dared to argue with him, the captain of the guards, which shows that he has full confidence, otherwise how dare he be so bold?

Through last night's bloodbath of the Brent Mansion, An Rui has proven his strength. As for how strong An Rui is, whether he is a summoner or not, Bernie can't guess for the time being, and he can't figure out the details.

If the guards poured out, they were indeed not afraid of An Rui, no matter how strong An Rui was, it would be impossible to surpass all the local guards. But once the real knives and guns are fought, the guards will inevitably be damaged, and the damage is definitely not small.

Instead of making trouble at that point, it is better to accept it when it is good, and directly take away the six hundred gold coins, in this way, he can earn an extra hundred gold coins, why not?

"Okay. Since you can't take out that much money, I won't embarrass you, six hundred gold coins will be six hundred gold coins, less will be less. When I get back, I will intercede with the Admiral on your behalf, so that he will not pursue the matter further. For the sake of just one Brent, you don't need to be so stiff, right? Bernie's tone shifted and he softened a lot.

An Rui's previous hardness was actually mostly pretended, but he didn't want to be led by Bernie's nose, but now that the other party gave him the stairs, he was no longer tense, and his face immediately changed and he smiled again.

"You wait here, and I'll go and get the money for you." An Rui smiled. His harmless appearance is almost the same as the way he looked when he was angry just now.
