"Hmm? I remember that I had money with me…It's that guy dressed like a scholar, it must be him.”
After realizing that the money pouch was missing, Guo Furong quickly recalled the scene where 'someone' had thrown her into this inn.
It must have been at that time.
Guo Furong secretly glanced at the Bright Jade Hall diagonally opposite Tongfu Inn and could not help but clench her fists.
"Father, my money…Can you lend me ten taels of silver?!”
Guo Furong had no choice but to say that her purse had been stolen. However, halfway through her sentence, she remembered that she had lost a hundred taels of silver and was grounded for a year. She immediately changed her mind.
Glancing at Guo Furong, Guo Juxia said,
"Since you don't have the money to compensate, you can stay here and work to repay it, or go to Six Fan School's prison to repent.”
Guo Juxia, who had discovered that Guo Furong's money bag was missing in the prison, immediately gave two choices and turned to leave.
Guo Furong panicked when she heard this. Just as she was about to plead for mercy, she heard her father's voice again.
"If you walk out of the inn, I will tacitly agree that you will go to the prison to repent.”
Guo Furong stopped in her tracks and retracted her foot resentfully.
As for Tong Xiangyu, she was confused.
What was going on? Ten taels of silver gone? Instead, there was an extra errand boy?
At this thought, Tong Xiangyu hurriedly chased after him and shouted,
" Wait, wait, wait. Let's discuss. How about nine taels of silver? If not, eight taels…Seven taels…Six taels…"

The next morning, Lin Wuyou returned to Bright Jade Hall after having breakfast with Hua Ling 'er's help.
However, before he could enter, a farmer who was picking vegetables walked past him.
"Vermilion Bird Guardian has returned and is summoning Lord Baihu.”
Lin Wuyou pushed open the door and walked into the Bright Jade Hall. The people in the hall were cleaning the ugly jade ornaments. When they saw Lin Wuyou return, they hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, you're back. Have you had breakfast?”
"I've already eaten. You can continue with your work. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes and go out.”
He went upstairs and changed into the official uniform of the Jinyiwei hundred households. He wore black official boots and black clothes with a white tiger embroidered on it.
After putting it on, Lin Wuyou picked up the Embroidered Spring Knife from the knife rack beside him and looked at it in the bronze mirror.
His black clothes gave his originally pale and weak face a hint of coldness. He was still a handsome man.
"Not bad, elegant and graceful!"
After praising himself, Lin Wuyou went downstairs and left the backyard in a flash, heading all the way to the Brocade Guard headquarters in the North City.
On the way, the commoners saw Lin Wuyou's official uniform and made way for him. The constables and bailiffs patrolling the streets of South City also recognized that he was a Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and did not care much.
However, his eyes were filled with disdain.
In recent years, the Brocade Guard had been close to the East Chamber and had helped the wicked to commit crimes. From time to time, they had raided and exterminated families. In addition, they had captured spies from Mengyuan everywhere a few days ago. This had filled the people with resentment. Even the various tribes were very unhappy.
It could be said that he was not pleasing anyone.
Half an incense's time later.
Embroidered Uniform Guards Headquarters, in the meeting hall.
Azure Dragon sat in the main seat.
Below him was a handsome man in his thirties, wearing a gray martial artist uniform. He looked slightly righteous.
"Vermillion Bird, did you find anything on your trip to Jiangnan?”
Azure Dragon, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at the handsome man and asked.
This handsome man was the Vermilion Bird Guardian of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Intelligence Department, who had just returned.
"I did find some clues. Prince Ning emptied a mountain in Jiangnan and built a place called the 'Peerless Tower' there. He recruited scholars, wealthy merchants, and officials everywhere. It is said that there are beautiful women, jewelry, paintings, and all kinds of strange things. It is like a paradise on earth.”
"It's just that if you want to enter this place, you need someone to introduce you. I don't have a good way to sneak in for the time being.”
"And with just the evidence in his hands, coupled with the fact that Prince Ning still has the red letter and iron coupons, it is impossible to realize his ambition.”
"However, although I still didn't find anything from Prince Ning, I did find something else on my way back.”
The Vermilion Bird felt helpless when he mentioned Prince Ning. However, he quickly put this matter to the back of his mind and talked about other things.
"What did you find?"
Azure Dragon was curious.
If it was a small matter, the Vermilion Bird would not have mentioned it to him.
"On the way back, I passed by Hengyang. The spies we buried in the Same Boat Association sent a message. A list of killers in the same boat association was stolen.”
The Vermilion Bird said. What he said surprised Azure Dragon.
"Let the people below continue to investigate. We must find out who stole the name list and then think of a way to get it. We must not let these traitors off.”
After recovering from his shock, Azure Dragon began to give out instructions.
"Don't worry, big brother."
The Vermilion Bird nodded.
Just as they finished speaking, the Jinyiwei guarding the door suddenly knocked on the door.
Dong Dong
"Commander, Lin Wuyou from the Intelligence Division requests an audience.”
Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird looked at each other and said,
"Let him in."
"Yes, sir!"
creaking
The door was pushed open. The Jinyiwei guarding the door opened the door and Lin Wuyou walked in.
"Lin Wuyou from the Intelligence Division greets the Azure Dragon Commander and the Vermillion Bird Guardian.”
When Lin Wuyou saw the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird, he cupped his fists and bowed.
The Vermilion Bird was delighted to see Lin Wuyou.
"Worriless, you did well in Mengyuan this time. I heard from Purple Dress that you've already broken through to Xiantian.”
" That's good. The credit has been recorded and passed down. You can go and collect the official uniform and token of the Deputy Chiliarcher later. From today onwards, you will be the Deputy Chiliarcher of the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'Intelligence Department. Also, you can go to the cultivation room and get a high-tier martial arts manual."
"Thank you, Vermillion Bird Guardian."
"You deserve this."
The Vermillion Bird waved his hand and said,"
"As for the responsibilities, you should know that the main job of the Intelligence Division is to collect information. The Thousand Households of the Intelligence Division have been taken away by the Northern and Southern Garrison Commanders, using the excuse that the Intelligence Division doesn't need experts urgently.”
"Right now, there are only you and Purple Dress as Deputy Chiliarchies. Purple Dress is now in charge of coordinating the intelligence of the entire Imperial Court.”
"Then you will be responsible for the intelligence in Jianghu. You and Six Fan School will also be responsible for sorting out the contents of the Jianghu monthly report and reviewing it.”
"Yes, my lord!"
Lin Wuyou accepted the order.
"Alright, remember to cultivate hard and strive to reach the late Xiantian stage as soon as possible.”
"I will remember your teachings.”
Lin Wuyou knew that the reward was over. He bowed and left the room.
From the beginning to the end, Azure Dragon did not speak.
