Chapter 448 For the Money
The interrogator was startled and waved his hands hurriedly: "Ah, no, that..."

"Needless to say, you were the ones who broke the rules first." After saying that, Bai Shanquan turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, General, wait, please give us a chance..."

Bai Shanquan stopped and said in an impatient tone: "It's your fault. Why do you have to waste our time?"

For some reason, the summons officer suddenly had an idea and took out a silver note of 100 taels from his pocket and handed it to Bai Shanquan, pleading in his tone: "I hope the general will be flexible..."

Bai Shanquan glanced at it and said unkindly: "One hundred taels, are you sending away a beggar?"

The interrogator was quite nervous at first, but he thought that it was best not to hit someone who smiled at him, and he was eager to give the money, so even if the money was not accepted, there should be no danger.

At first glance, Bai Shanquan's reaction seemed unhappy, but upon closer listening, his displeasure was not because the interrogator gave him money, but because he gave too little.

The interrogator was also a smart man. He understood what he meant immediately and then took out a silver note worth five hundred taels: "General, please accept it."

Bai Shanquan took it without any hesitation, but his eyes continued to look at the interrogator.

The interrogating officer didn't react at first, but he soon understood and hurriedly took out the hundred taels of silver that he had just stuffed back into his pocket.

After Bai Shanquan took it, he said, "You are really an interesting person. You didn't give it to me straightforwardly at all."

"Yes, yes, yes." The interrogator smiled ingratiatingly.

He hummed in his heart, everyone said that the Baiyu Army had such strict discipline, but now it seems that they are not that good.

But with just six hundred taels of silver, their true colors were exposed. How could people still think that the Baiyu Army was so powerful?

"Okay, I'll give you another chance. Go and tell your chief officer that you need to pay us three thousand taels of gold."

"What?!" The interrogator was still disdainful in his heart, but when he heard this, he widened his eyes in disbelief.

Seeing this, Bai Shanquan nodded and said, "Yes, you also think it's not enough, right? Then add another two thousand and make a total of five thousand taels of gold!"

"Ah? No, I..." When did I say that three thousand taels of gold were missing? And, is this how you round up the amount?!

The interrogator wanted to say something, but Bai Shanquan's face turned cold: "Alright, I'm giving you a chance because you know a little bit about the ways of the world. If you keep pushing me, I'll just beat you up."

"For the sake of these six hundred taels, you hide for a while, and I promise not to kill you."

No, why would he want to kill or beat someone up over a disagreement? It's really infuriating even after taking the money and still having such an attitude.

Although the interrogator could not see Bai Shanquan's face, he could hear his unfriendly tone and said hurriedly, "Wait, General, please wait a moment. I will report the general's intention to our general."

At this time, the summons officer had decided that when reporting to the commander-in-chief, he must exaggerate the seriousness of Bai Shanquan's intentions.

Moreover, he couldn't let anyone know that three thousand taels of gold had turned into five thousand taels of gold, otherwise he would lose his life.

This time, the interrogator took an unusually long time to arrive.

If he were in the village, Bai Shanquan would probably be bored and squat on the ground chewing grass roots.

Nearly an hour later, the interrogator showed up with two people.

His cheek was swollen, and there were traces of blood on the corners of his mouth. Seeing Bai Shanquan, the summons officer politely said, "General, this is five thousand taels of gold. Please count it."

How much money would be needed to carry with you when going to war?

These five thousand taels of gold were also pieced together by people with positions above centurion in the Great Ten Thousand Kingdoms, so there were two people carrying the box.

Bai Shanquan only glanced at the interrogator, nodded twice, and a soldier ran up behind him. The interrogator thought that it would take at least two cups of tea to get there.

Unexpectedly, in just half a cup of tea, the soldier who was counting stood up and nodded to Bai Shanquan: "Captain, is the number correct after conversion?"

Hearing this, the interrogator was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Just, have you ordered?"

It was so fast that he suspected that the soldier was lying.

I guess he thought that the Great World would not dare to cheat, so he just did a few simple moves to get the job done.

Bai Shanquan didn't say anything, but Bai Hemiao, who was counting, said bluntly, "It's just a few things, how much effort would it take to count them?"

"If you don't believe me, bring another box."

"Uh, no, no need, no need, I believe it, I believe it." The interrogation officer pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.

He thought to himself, where can I get another box? Besides, if I get another box of silver and money, will you still let me go?
"Since the count is correct, then..." The interrogator looked at Bai Shanquan: "General, we have also counted the people. This time, there will definitely not be more than one person."

Bai Shanquan sneered: "Why, aren't you worried that you won't have food to eat without a cook?"

The interrogator smiled awkwardly: "General, you are joking."

"Hmph~" Bai Shanquan took the money and didn't mean to give face. He snorted and said, "Okay, you can enter our territory now."

"but……"

The interrogator was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but these two words made him breathe a sigh of relief again.

"When you enter our territory, please be quiet and don't disturb the people. We will have people repairing the road along the way. You must not scare our road workers, otherwise..."

So that's what he was talking about. The interrogator nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, we will definitely abide by the contract."

He wanted to say something else, but Bai Shanquan had already turned around, mounted his horse and left.

Soon, a message came: "The number of people is correct, you can let them go."

"put!"

Then, while the messenger was stunned, he saw the White Feather Army drawing their bows and shooting explosive arrows into the sky, and then they disappeared into the woods in an orderly manner.

After all, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Even though the fight has not started, since the bow has been put on with an arrow, it will naturally be shot.

The soldiers of the Great Wan Kingdom were thrown to the ground by the sudden explosion. The summons officer was so frightened that he fell to the ground and rubbed his ears for a long time before he recovered.

However, because of this incident, when he went back to report, he was not severely punished for the compensation of 5,000 taels of gold.

Especially after the messenger told Bai Shanquan's warning, the commander-in-chief rarely scolded him. Instead, he ordered the soldiers not to provoke the people who were building roads when they met them on the march, at least not before the war.

At this time, Bai Shanquan and his group were in the mountains and forests watching the troops of the Great Wanguo crossing the boundary marker.

Perhaps it was because of the residual power of the exploding arrows that the morale of the Great Wan Kingdom was obviously not as high as before.

Many people even kept looking at the mountains and forests, fearing that the Baiyu Army would rush out or shoot a few arrows at them directly.

But the people of Taohua Village seem to be quite law-abiding, at least more law-abiding than the bandits, who would turn hostile if they didn't get paid.
