Gu Jingyun glanced at his wife and lowered his eyes. Except for the offerings from the master, all of Bai Yitang's money was stolen, but he was also a very principled thief. The master asked him not to keep more than The 10% that was stolen, but according to Gu Jingyun's understanding, Bai Yitang's money would not exceed one hundred taels each time, and the rest would be used by him for the people.

The major cases that Bai Yitang worked on were worth more than ten thousand taels. What about the ones he did secretly that were not publicized?

It is impossible to return the money to the people all at once, and Bai Yitang's masters have been engaged in stealing and then giving money. They must have their own channels and methods to deal with money. With so much money, it is enough to accumulate some every time. Countless wealth.

And this kind of money that is destined to be returned to the people, Bai Yitang will not embezzle it even if he starves to death. Are they here for this money?

Gu Jingyun frowned, not intuitively.

Gu Jingyun's feet moved slightly, and the toes touched Li Baolu's. Li Baolu lowered his voice and asked Chen Zhu vaguely, "Do you think the Flying Man in White really has those things?"

Chen Zhu looked left and right, and when she saw her senior sister's warning eyes, she blinked vigorously at Li Baolu, and said in a low voice, "I want to go shopping tomorrow, let's go together then."

"Okay," Li Baolu responded kindly, "Then we will meet in front of the Drum Tower tomorrow, and I know where there are delicious things."

Chen Zhu couldn't help swallowing, she also liked eating.

The two little girls talked about food. Although Chen Zhu had never traveled all over the rivers and lakes, she had many senior brothers and sisters, and she had a lot of delicious food just by listening to them. Li Baolu was born to love food, and she traveled to many places, both north and south. It's just easy to come by.

Seeing the two little girls talking about eating, Ling Bi wanted to hold hands and look at tears, so she swallowed her refusal to meet them tomorrow.

Forget it, Junior Sister finally made a friend, and those things are not secrets, Junior Sister knows a little more than the average person, so it's okay to tell the other party.

Ling Bi's senior brother, Xiao Lan, frowned slightly, and said via voice transmission to her junior sister: "Why do you allow your junior sister to associate with them? What if they are liars?"

"What can they lie to Junior Sister?" Ling Bi frowned slightly and said, "Looking at their bearing and behavior, their family background is not inferior to Junior Sister, and the other party is younger than Junior Sister. I won’t sneak out to wander the rivers and lakes anymore. The rivers and lakes are dangerous, if we don’t teach her more while we are still with her and let her have more experience, she will only suffer more in the future.”

From Ling Bi's point of view, it's good that these two are not liars. It would be better if they were liars, and it would give the junior sister more knowledge. However, judging from her years of experience and vision in the world, these two are not bad people, at least No ill will towards them.

So she was very relieved.

But don't worry, she will quietly follow her junior sister to guard her the next day.

Seeing the other party, only the little girl came, and she didn't care about the boy's disappearance. Men don't like to go shopping with girls. When their seniors and sisters go shopping, the seniors will always find excuses to escape.

At this time, Gu Jingyun was sitting in the inn reading a book, he had an appointment with Sun Zhifu at the restaurant today, so naturally he couldn't go out with Li Baolu, which made him a little annoyed.

Zhao Ning peeked at Mr., and said in a low voice: "Mr., there is someone peeking at us at the window that Mrs. Mistress mentioned."

Gu Jingyun turned a page of the book with a sneer and said, "Don't pay attention to him."

Having said that, when Gu Jingyun left the inn, he still kept his clever Shunxin and let him adapt to the situation.

After all, Li Baolu is still in the inn in name.

Yes, this time Li Baolu ran out secretly, but this time she didn't wear a veil, but covered her face with a veil.

However, this was not of much use, because she took off her veil after walking half a street with Chen Zhu, and followed Chen Zhu excitedly to eat from the street to the end of the street, her mouth never stopped, and her hands were never empty .

This made Ling Bi, who was paying attention to them from a distance, quite speechless. The two girls who co-authored with her were all on eating today. You should go to the jewelry store or the silk and satin shop anyway, don't you know if she gets dark in the sun?

Li Baolu knew that someone was following her, so she purposely lowered her voice when talking about gossip with Chen Zhu, "Last night you hinted that I would come this morning, did you have any secrets to tell me?"

Chen Zhu looked around, hugged Li Baolu's arm and said, "It's not a big secret, everyone knows it, don't you know?"

Li Baolu shook her head in disappointment, "My family doesn't love me to practice martial arts, and they don't allow me to go out into the rivers and lakes, so I don't know anything about the outside world. This time, I accidentally heard that something important happened in the Kaifeng mansion, so I called my fiancé sneaked out."

Chen Zhu was surprised, "He is willing too?"

Li Baolu was proud, "He has always listened to me."

Chen Zhu envied, "He is so kind to you, I will find someone like this in the future, and he will support me in whatever I want."

"You haven't told me the secret yet."

"Actually, it's not a secret anymore, because many heroes know about it. I only found out about it by eavesdropping on my father and mother." Chen Zhu lowered her voice and said, "This time, Lord Zheng held a birthday banquet." It's not only because of his money that he lured Flying Man in White to come here, but also because of the book of war in his hands."

Li Baolu was stunned, art of war?

People in the Jianghu still love this thing?

Chen Zhu sighed and said: "The Flying Man in White has stolen so many corrupt officials in his life, and the money accumulated together may be as much as a national treasury. Birds die for food, people die for money, and many people in the world are staring at his hands." Where's the money in it?"

"But didn't he donate the money to the people?"

"It was donated, but who knows how much he donated and how much he kept? The Lingtianmen have always been responsible for stealing and corrupt officials. Lingtianmen has a treasury dedicated to storing treasures, which is as rich as a national treasury."

Li Baolu: ...Little girl, don't you think this must be a rumor?

What a cruel heart, these words spread not only to people in the world, but even the imperial court will not let her master go.

"However, most of the people who came this time wanted the book of war in his hand, and a small number of people came for money. After all, there is so much money that everyone can share, but there are only a few books of war."

Li Baolu held back for a long time but couldn't help asking: "Aren't we from the martial arts world? Why do we need military books?"

Chen Zhu patted her head with pity and said, "You are still young, so I don't know, but my father also wants military books."

"We martial arts people say that we are free and unrestrained, but we are not much different from ordinary people. We have to pay taxes and serve, but we have money, and hard labor can be paid for by money. Our status is between farmers and merchants. , but the fact of fighting and killing in the Jianghu is normal, if the head of the family dies, the family will also decline. Compared with agriculture, business and officialdom, the turnover in the martial arts is actually faster."

The lively and innocent little girl said with a sadness that didn't match her age: "So we also want to find a better way out. It would be better if we can enter the officialdom. When we become an official, we will have network resources and inheritance. , future generations will be more promising. But we warriors are really not good at reading, what we are good at is kung fu, it is more convenient to practice martial arts, but fighting is different from messing around. If we can have a few military books and know how to arrange troops, Training soldiers..."

Li Baolu understands that people are driven by profit, and profit is nothing more than money, power, power, and sex. Rumors say that her master has money, and there is a book of tactics that can help them gain power. With money and power, sex naturally comes.

Her master is so profitable, if they don't set up a trap to harm him, who else will they harm?

However, "How do they know that the Flying Man in White has military books on him?"

"The Flying Man in White was passing through Datong, Shanxi 18 years ago. Zhang Boying, the commander of Shanxi who guarded Datong at that time, somehow offended him, so he sneaked into Zhang's mansion. He divided the letters with the Tatars into several parts and threw them into the Yushitai and the imperial palace, which turned the officialdom upside down. He took this opportunity to sneak back to Datong and stole all the books in Zhang Boying's study. And a lot of money was stolen."

Chen Zhu sighed and said: "Money is still second, but those military books are extraordinary. The Zhang family has been generals for generations, and the collection of military books is quite rich. Every generation of his family has produced strong generals and talents. Learn the art of war, and start to practice the formation of troops. The children of the Zhang family can also read and write, and they are as rough as us Jianghu people, but they can confer marquis and noble titles, do you think we are tempted?"

Li Baolu nodded, "Heartbeat, but who knows if the flying man in white stole those military books? If he stole them, he might have lost them or given them away? How can you be sure they are still in his hands?"

Chen Zhu said in a low voice: "It was revealed by his senior brother and senior sister..."

Li Baolu: ... Oh, I almost forgot, she also has two uncles and aunts whom her master kept secret. When she was a child, she would lose her temper whenever she asked about their masters, but she would never mention them again when she stopped losing her temper.

Li Baolu would not provoke her master anymore, so for her uncle and aunt, she only knew that her master was arrested back then because of their contribution.

But it turns out that this incident also has something to do with them?

"The Lingtian Sect has always been a single pass. There is only one disciple in a generation, and that disciple is the head. The head of the previous generation accepted three disciples in a row, which created chaos. My father said that the head of the Lingtian Sect will pass on the position of head. For the Flying Man in White, his senior brothers and sisters were dissatisfied, so they teamed up with Zhang Boying to capture the Flying Man in White. If Zhang Boying hadn't been accused by the court in the end, and he himself would have had his home ransacked and beheaded, Flying Man in White might have been killed by him Killed him." Chen Zhu said: "Back then, the Flying Man in White was caught in a hurry, and he must have kept the money and military books in his hands, so this time the imperial court amnesty, they came up with this poisonous plan to lure the Flying Man in White."
