The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"It's okay if you don't write a letter. Do you have enough banknotes on you?" Deputy General Han looked at Zhou Shiyue.

It seems that he doesn't have anything valuable on him.

If it weren't for the outstanding aura of this outfit, his clothes would have been ordinary clothes here.

But don't think you can escape his notice by pretending to be shabby.

He has very good eyesight and can tell at a glance whether a person's identity is ordinary or not.

"How much do you want?" Zhou Shiyue's tone was just cold, and no other emotions could be heard from it.

"It's not like we want to extort money casually."

Deputy General Han snorted and said, "Let's do the math. You inexplicably brought so many people to a very important place in our southwest border town, and made such a big fuss there, right?"

"And the two of you, one wearing a mask and the other a veil, clearly look like you are not to be seen by others."

"Also, knowing that we are soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty, you still dare to fight with us."

"For people like you, I would say you are spies, or that you are bad guys who have ulterior motives to destroy the stability of our southwest Zhou. Isn't that reasonable?"

Deputy General Han took a sip of tea and said confidently, "You even injured so many of my soldiers. Just based on these points, it is very reasonable for me to arrest you and beat you with military sticks."

"I am giving you a chance now to save you from physical pain. Don't you want to continue?"

"If you don't want such an opportunity, then let's handle the matter impartially. The things you have done are enough to get you each beaten with thirty military sticks, and then locked up to await your fate."

Having said that, Deputy General Han placed the teacup heavily on the table.

"But before you are locked up, you have to confess. What are you doing here? Are you a spy?"

"It is also my duty to interrogate you. Let me tell you, do you want to endure a reasonable interrogation, or do you want to pay for an easy one? It's up to you to decide."

Lu Zhaoling was almost laughing out of anger.

Do you want to grab someone just by catching him?

This is even more shameless than her.

"I will get something in return for pulling you out," she whispered to Zhou Shiyue, "and I will even save you, which is fair."

Then she raised her voice a little, "This Deputy General Han is different. He just asks for it when he reaches out his hand."

"What did you say?!"

Deputy General Han slammed the table.

"Calm down, calm down," Lu Zhaoling asked, "I'm asking seriously, how much is appropriate?"

One thousand taels? Three thousand taels?

Worst case, five thousand taels?

Her fees are never cheap, so I guessed a high number.

But she felt that five thousand taels was already outrageous.

You have to know that although her fees are expensive, she does give talismans and can save people.

Deputy General Han didn't have to pay anything, so how could his price be higher than hers?

As a result, Deputy General Han twisted his mouth and stretched out a hand.

"Five thousand taels?" Oh my god, he really accepted the most expensive price she wanted?

"What five thousand taels?"

Deputy General Han's face suddenly darkened, as if she was insulting him.

"We have so many brothers in the army, what can five thousand taels do?"

The soldier next to him spoke up, "Our deputy general is talking about 50,000 taels! You can split it into half silver and half supplies. The supplies can be cotton, cloth, grain, dried meat, etc."

"Fifty thousand taels!!!"

Lu Zhaoling's eyes widened.

She even picked her ears with her little finger, suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears.

Fifty thousand taels, how dare they ask for it?

"What? A mere fifty thousand taels, you don't deserve it?" Deputy General Han asked gloomily.

He only reported this number because of Qian Kingdom's status as the prince.

Wouldn’t it be an insult to this person if I said less?

Fifty thousand taels can be converted into half of the supplies, which is definitely not a problem for this person.

Zhou Shiyue was also so angry that he laughed.

He held Lu Zhaoling's hand and asked, "Why, didn't you ask us to come and see your general?"

Deputy General Han sneered, "Our general is very busy, there is no need to bother him with such a small matter."

"So you lied to us?"

Bringing them to the military camp, saying they wanted to see the benevolent general, was just to fool them?

"It seems that Vice General Han has done this kind of thing a lot."

"Stop talking nonsense. How can our general care about such trivial matters? If you have 50,000 taels of silver on you, take it out and I will let you go now."

Deputy General Han snorted, "If not, just come and write a letter, and I will send someone to deliver it to your door."

They have been staying here all the time, and their life is quite hard. They are not like those big men in the capital who can live a life of luxury, eating, drinking and having fun. So, if they don't seize every opportunity to make more money for themselves, how will they support themselves in their retirement?

Having seen those soldiers who had retired from the military camp when they grew old, and gone back to live a life of poverty and hardship without status or power, they were unwilling to do so.

It is not easy to move up in this army. Without power, one naturally wants to gain more profits.

The nobles in the capital don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun, don't have to train soldiers and fight wars, don't have to face the possible danger of their lives or injuries, and yet they can inherit their titles. Why?

What's wrong with them using their abilities to gain more benefits here?

"Do you know who I am?"

Zhou Shiyue finally understood at this time that Deputy General Han seemed to have always identified him as someone else.

"Prince Yin Zheng of Qian State, you can take off the mask now. Who doesn't know that you have come to the southwest city of our Great Zhou?" said Deputy General Han.

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Shiyue with a mocking look, as if he was making fun of him for wearing the mask in vain and still being recognized by him?

Qian country.

Yin Zheng.

Zhou Shiyue suddenly realized.

It turned out that she had mistaken him for Prince Yin. No wonder she asked for 50,000 taels at the first offer.

According to Prince Yin, fifty thousand taels is not a lot.

Although Lu Zhaoling didn't know Prince Yin, the other party had already revealed this person's identity, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"You represent the soldiers of the Great Zhou, you represent the military of the Great Zhou, and you represent the attitude of the Great Zhou. If you blackmail the prince of another country like this, aren't you afraid that it will damage the image of the Great Zhou, undermine the demeanor of the Great Zhou, and ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"

Although she had heard before that spies from Qianguo had sneaked into the capital, that was a different matter.

What happens behind the scenes cannot be confused with the open relationship between the two countries.

"Hahaha!"

Deputy General Han seemed to have heard something funny and laughed out loud with his head thrown back.

"Who cares about that?!"

He laughed and said, "I only know that you are now in my hands, and the evidence I just mentioned can be put out in the open. Tell me, if this matter gets out, who will be the one who is not responsible?"

"Then you haven't figured out what we did there." Lu Zhaoling said.
