The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Regardless of whether the money promised by the Chen family can be given to them, the Wulin Alliance and the Tianshi Mansion must prepare a pension.

Pan Jun didn't take any, and Miao Zhen and the others didn't take any either. Xue Shao was even more so. He took the money and went to every house on the island, even taking out beds, tables and chairs. "They are all valuable woods. This set of Huanghuali tables and chairs, if shipped back to China and sold in Jiangnan, will cost at least eighty taels!"

Eighty taels are enough to provide a family of three with food and clothing for four years.

The knights immediately followed them.

Although he is a person who does not love money, he knows the value of various items very clearly.

If the stones weren't so difficult to move and transport, he would have wanted to pry the stones in the yard.

"This marble should have been shipped from our country. In Jiangnan, a piece of it can be sold for two taels of silver. When it is shipped here, the cost of a piece of marble will not be less than five taels. This yard of marble must be worth a lot of money."

The heroes had no interest in shipping a piece of marble that cost five taels back to the country and selling it for two taels, so they just pretended not to hear it.

Pan Yun walked around the marbles and asked doubtfully, "Do you think the Japanese pirates hid gold, silver and jewelry under the marbles?"

When the knights heard this, they immediately waved their tools and dug up the stones. They turned the entire yard upside down but did not find a single piece of gold.

"What a pity~~" Pan Jun shook his head and sighed, then turned around and asked Qu Le to lead the Japanese pirates with bound feet to move the marble bricks onto the boat.

The knights who loved to join in the fun but had nothing to do also followed suit and moved several pieces.

Xue Shao watched silently without saying a word.

Li Wenying looked at them in a speechless state. She turned her back and couldn't help but chat with Captain Chen: "No wonder they were plotted against by the imperial court. They don't have any brains."

Captain Chen pretended not to hear, as he was also a member of the imperial court.

However, it was definitely not this group of people who plotted against them.

Thinking that he was also among those being plotted against and almost died at sea, Captain Chen looked deep in his eyes. He turned his back to Pan Yun and asked, "When are you going to the island to get the treasure?"

Pan Yun's eyelids twitched slightly.

Captain Chen: "I didn't dare to approach that island before, but I had people patrolling the periphery. It's strange that the island is often hidden in the sea fog. There are many small islands there. If it weren't for the map you gave me, I wouldn't be able to find it. I went to patrol to prevent the Japanese pirates from approaching and taking away the treasure. In the past six months, only three ships have approached that sea area, but it's strange that they don't seem to know the location of the island and wander around...

At first I thought they were trying to confuse us, but after observing them for a while, I realized they seemed to be looking for something and were not here for the island."

Pan Yun: "They came here just for that island."

Pan Yun looked Chen Wen up and down and asked, "You don't know?"

Chen Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he said seriously, "Know what?"

"It seems that the pirate family that hid the treasure was fighting among themselves. The person who knew the location of the island died, and the only sea map fell into our hands. Kikuchi Takehoku died again, so..."

Chen Wen opened his mouth wide, he didn't know.

Pan Jun looked at him with sympathy and shook his head, "Captain Chen, you can't do it~~"

Seeing Pan Yun doubting his ability, Chen Wen immediately said: "Master Sanzhu, I am at sea. I am usually isolated from the world on the island and may not go ashore for a month. Every time I am ordered to come back, I only go to the Navy Office to take orders, so the news is a little delayed, but my ability is no problem. If you want to take the treasure, you must have a cooperative navy..."

If it was in the past, it would be true, but isn’t she able to fly now and has the Three Treasures Tripod?
But looking at Chen Wen's honest and loyal face, Pan Yun couldn't bear to leave him behind. She lowered her voice and said, "There's no rush for the treasure. Since they don't have a location on the island, we have more time. Wait for me to come back from Japan, and then we can get it directly from the sea."

Chen Wen looked at her suspiciously: "You have a boat now..."

Pan Jun said angrily: "Then my helmsman is still yours, right? Captain Chen, I trust you so much, but you doubt me!"

Chen Wen: ...He didn’t agree to give Ah Xin to Li Wenying, okay?

He clearly refused!
But Pan Yun's suggestion seemed to make sense. He was her man and her ship, and she couldn't avoid him when she was working at sea.

If she really chose another boatman as the helmsman, and then went to the island to get the treasure...

Could he really break up with her and make this matter public?

She is a person of the world, and the treasures in the sea belong to those who are capable.

However, he was an official of the imperial court. When the truth was exposed, it was found that he had secretly hidden the treasures of the Japanese pirates and had ulterior motives.

Chen Wen took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I'll let Axin, Chang Wenxuan and Guo Dashan follow you."

Pan Jun narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Pan Xiaohei couldn't help but raise his head and meow. Seeing Chen Wen leave, he couldn't help but say, "I can feel your emotional tug-of-war. He's so honest and has given so much. Don't you feel guilty?"

Chen Wen has people, ships, and sea charts. Half a year ago, he did not go to take the treasure, perhaps because he had not completely subdued his subordinates. But now, even Ah Xin follows his lead and is willing to entrust his life to him, so why is he just patrolling the sea and not taking the treasure?

Because they keep their promises!
I said I would split it equally with Pan Yun, and I have been waiting for her.

Pan Xiaohei shook his cat head and said in a pretentious way, "What a pity! People are trying to illuminate the moon, but the moon only illuminates the ditch."

"Shut up!" Pan Yun said, "I was just thinking about it in my mind, but I didn't really abandon him. Do you know what it means to judge by deeds rather than by heart?"

She grinned at it: "If it were my true feelings, I would have cut you into pieces eight hundred times already."

Pan Xiaohei: ...

Pan Yun closed his eyes and made hand gestures: "May you be blessed with infinite blessings. I almost broke the precept of killing. What a sin, what a sin!"

Pan Xiaohei turned around and faced her with his fat butt.

The knights rested on the island for two days. After Li Wenying and Miaozhen carefully calculated the weather, they decided to set off at 3 a.m. the next morning.

Pan Yun and his group were heading in another direction, so they had to leave even earlier, at about Chou hour.

Li Wenying led a group of people to see her off, and their three large boats nearby were loading things and people.

When they looked at a group of Japanese pirates with their hands tied, they were pushed by the escorting knights, and then they looked away and got on the boat.

Pan Yun also retracted his gaze and said to Li Wenying: "Don't kill those people I mentioned for now. Wait until I get back."

Li Wenying nodded and asked in a low voice: "How sure are you?"

"It won't hurt to try," Pan Yun said, "If it works, we can avoid a big disaster. If it doesn't work, we still have the power of life and death over them in our hands, right?"

Li Wenying: "But I am just a Taoist priest. Even the Tianshi Mansion cannot make the decision. After all, judging cases and sentencing is the government's business. I can only keep the person for you until autumn. After autumn, you must come back."

"I know, I know. Japan is not far from our Ming Dynasty. I can just fly back."

Li Wenying: “…”

He pointed to a group of people behind her and asked, "Take them with you?"

Pan Yun choked.

Li Wenying raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Ah~~Leave them behind!"

Pan Yun thought he was annoying. (End of this chapter)
