Night is back.

Hong Wei also came to the unfinished "West Lake Seat" again.

Unlike last night, tonight the construction site was empty, and there was not a single worker working on the floor.

Hong Wei understands that this means that his "throwing stone" last night has worked, and the other party must be ready and waiting for him.

Sure enough, before he entered the lobby on the first floor, he clearly noticed that there were people in the dark, and it was a large group of people.

It's a pity that although there are many people, judging from the breathing sound of these people, they are all ordinary people, and none of them even know martial arts.

Hong Wei was proud of his martial arts skills, and he was not afraid of this kind of ambush at all, so he still swaggered into the door, and said with a smile as he walked: "Heh...... There are a lot of people here. ”

As he spoke, he had secretly mobilized his internal strength and was ready to make a move at any time......

However, those people did not besiege them as he had imagined.

"It's a lot. In the next second, Xue Tui's voice sounded in the darkness, "But...... With your Excellency's martial arts, you probably won't take this person to heart. ”

When Hong Wei heard this, he sneered: "Heh...... So what are you going to do now?"

Xue Tui was also prepared for this question, and he quickly replied: "What my young master means...... Since Your Excellency is here to seek wealth, then let's follow the rules of the Tao. ”

Bang Bang –

Speaking of this, Xue Tui quickly clapped his hands twice.

Hearing this, a member of the Sun Mansion walked out from behind Xue Tui and placed a two-foot-square wooden box on the ground in the middle of the lobby.

Although all this happened in the dark, with Hong Wei's eyes and ears, it was not difficult to get a glimpse of the situation in front of him.

"In this box, there are about five hundred taels, all of which are broken silver that has flowed through the outflow, which is a small gift prepared by my young master for your Excellency, I hope that after you accept it, you can raise your noble hand and let us go." At this time, Xue Tui continued Fang Cai's words, "As for your name, appearance, etc., we don't plan to inquire, so as not to make you un......reliable," at this point, he paused slightly, and then said, "I don't know how to deal with it, Your Excellency is still satisfied?"

Can you still be satisfied?

Xue Tui's words are very leaky, and his way of dealing with them is also very in line with the set of "digging up ideas".

Now the face is also given to you, the money is also given to you, and when the transaction is made, they also deliberately talk to you in the dark, and they don't even see your face...... So if you're not satisfied, you're not running for money.

What about this Hongwei...... In the final analysis, the main thing is to blackmail money, he and Sun Yihui don't have any deep hatred, and they are also temporary, and they can't get along with money for this little anger.

So after a moment's thought, he replied, "Hmm...... For the sake of your young master, who is quite sensible, I will also give him a face. ”

Actually, where is this to give face? It's to give money and face.

At this moment, Hong Wei said as he walked towards the box.

Don't look at him as if he had made peace with the other party, but in fact he didn't let down his guard - who knows if your box is silver or something? What if it's a murderous trap, poisonous smoke, or poisonous snake or something? Besides, why did you put the box in this position? Is there some trap underneath? Or something on the ceiling that will fall down in a moment?

Hong Wei is not stupid, he has to guard against all this, so he walks very slowly in the first few steps to the box, and after standing still on the ground, he is always tense and nervous.

After observing for a few seconds and basically confirming that there were no traps above his head or under his feet, Hong Wei pulled out his sword, flicked the lock on the box with the tip of the sword, and then slowly opened the lid of the box with the blade of the sword.

During the entire process, his body remained more than a meter away from the box, and was ready to dodge at any time.

Squeak –

Finally, the box was opened.

The silver in the box reflected the faint moonlight, drawing the eyes of the whole room.

"Hahahaha......" Seeing that it was indeed filled with money, Hong Wei smiled, "Okay, your young master is quite interesting......" As he spoke, he re-closed the lid of the box, picked up the box with a cat's waist, and sandwiched it under his left armpit, "Then I will leave." ”

"I don't send it. Xue Tui's attitude was still very calm, and he didn't let the other party notice anything unusual.

Before he could finish speaking, Na Hongwei had already caught the box and turned around and ran.

The box containing five hundred taels of silver weighs more than thirty catties, which is not a big deal for people who practice martial arts, let alone a master like Hong Wei.

However, he was also a thief, obviously he didn't find anyone tracking him, he still went around in the night for a while, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no "tail", he slipped back to the inn where he stayed.

Back in the guest room, Hong Wei locked the doors and windows without saying a word, lit a small oil lamp, and immediately opened the box again to confirm the contents again.

Why did he have to double confirm?

This is also the common sense of the Tao - the money dug out of the fire idea, it is best to take it again immediately after getting it back, because this kind of money will generally be "short of two", if you don't calculate it clearly at the first time, it is easy to have contradictions when dividing the spoils.

Of course, Hong Wei is working alone, and he doesn't need to share it with others, but he still has to be disced.

After all, this is extorted money, and the extorted party must feel uncomfortable when he pays, and it is normal for people to try to pay less: for example, at the moment, this box containing silver taels, as long as a few more wooden boards are put at the bottom of the box, or some fake silver and stones made of lead are mixed under the layer of silver on the surface, it is easy to get away with it.

As for the extortion party, even if it is discovered afterwards, as long as the proportion of this "making up" is not too exaggerated, it will usually be accepted.

Hong Wei naturally understands these rules, so when he checked for the second time, he was mentally prepared, even if only six or seven percent of the silver was true in the end, he admitted it, because six or seven percent of the five hundred taels were also more than three hundred, if the poor family at that time had this money...... It's enough for two lifetimes.

But he didn't expect that after the final inspection, this box turned out to be full of real silver, and it was not mixed with any fake ......

"Wow! Now, even Hong Wei had to sigh like this.

It is indeed rare for a master to give money like this.

And it's all broken silver, which means you don't have to take the subsequent risk of taking the silver ticket to the counter to withdraw the money, and you don't have to worry about any marks on the money, plus the previous transactions were all done in the dark...... It seems that the young master of the Sun family is really ready to give enough money and handle this matter thoughtfully, and he does not intend to track down who the blackmailer is afterwards.

"Such a refreshing ...... It seems that this money is a drop in the bucket for him. Hong Wei then thought again, "Heh...... Okay, I'll forget it this time, I'll come back when your restaurant opens one day, and I'll ask you for a thousand taels next time. ”

rank, this is called the lack of people's hearts and swallowing elephants.

If a person's way of getting money is not right and too easy, then his concept of money will gradually become distorted, and then his greed will also swell to a degree that ordinary people cannot understand.

But in any case, at least at this moment, Hong Wei believes that his idea of digging fire has succeeded.

He...... It's naïve.

Although his martial arts skills are very high, the time to come out and mix is too short after all......

Some people may say that Hong Wei's time in the rivers and lakes is not about the same as Sun Yihui's? But don't forget, who was Sun Yihui before he left the rivers and lakes? Who was Hong Wei before he left the rivers and lakes?

When Brother Sun was mixing in the fish market, you Hongwei was still picking up dung for others, and now you want to blackmail him?

So where did Sun Yixiang do it?

Actually, it's still silver.

In Dahui, there are undoubtedly very few occasions that need to use "whole silver ingots" to pay, and there are many kinds of silver ingots, not all silver ingots are the same size, specifications and shapes, only the official silver cast by the government has a unified standard, and this standard is not immutable.

At that time, most of the silver taels that circulated among the people were broken silver made from various silver ingots of different specifications, or small ingots recast from broken silver...... And all this work is done by ordinary silversmiths in the market.

And why did people at that time have the habitual thinking that "only a whole ingot of silver will have a mark"? Because the silver ingots with marks are all stretched up by "molds", and they are completed synchronously when the silver is cast, and no one will first cast a batch of silver, and then engrave the marks one by one.

This is true of whole silver, how much more of broken silver?

But as the so-called ...... It's man-made.

It is not impossible to engrave marks on the silver one by one, but it takes a lot of manpower and time.

The box of "broken silver" that Sun Yixiang asked Xue to push out tonight was only completed by hiring most of the silversmiths in Hangzhou City during the day today.

At first glance, each piece appears to be an irregularly shaped piece, but in fact there is a small mark on each piece that is extremely difficult to detect, which is not usually recognizable to man, but which will surely be found when the silver is recirculated back into the hands of the silversmiths...... When the time comes, the flow of the money will be traced backwards to where it is and by whom it is spent.

Hong Wei didn't know anything about this, and he didn't think that there would be any marks on the broken silver, so he just checked the number of silver taels in the box, and didn't find anything else abnormal at all, let alone that Sun Yihuan would come to track him down.

Therefore, the next day, Hong Wei withdrew from the guest room and went straight to the most luxurious Qinglou in Hangzhou; anyway, it was the young master of the Sun family who was "treating", and five hundred taels was enough for him to be free for a while.

And when he went, it led to that - Sun Yihe set up a situation in the dust, and the red plum bird died in the rain habitat.
