500,000 taels!

And thats the minimum?

I knew the guy was greedy, but I didnt expect him to be this greedy!

Xu Dongs mouth twitched visibly, and he said with a forced smile, 500,000 taels of silver? Lord Qin, isnt that asking for too much? I think 200,000 taels would be more reasonable!

Dont waste words, its 500,000 taels or I wont do it! Qin Hui said, brushing off his sleeve in displeasure.

500,000 taels is really too much just for saying a few words in court!

Is it just a few words?

Qin Hui was very agitated, Youre asking for my life! Generals Tiangong, Digong, and Rengong are the Grand Generals of the court, commanding a million soldiers with distinguished status and immense power! Moreover, the three brothers are also Innate powerhouses with formidable strength!

You want me to falsely accuse them in court, and they will hold a grudge against me whether I succeed or fail. How will I continue to serve in court after that? How will I maintain a foothold in the capital city?

Xu Dong threatened, Lord Qin, dont forget, we have evidence against you! If it gets out, your position and your life are still at risk. Please think carefully!

Then go ahead and report me!

Qin Hui declared with a grand gesture, visibly enraged. You dont want me to live anyway, so lets just part ways here!

Xu Dong was stunned, not expecting such a notoriously corrupt official to be so defiant!

He would rather go down in flames together than miss out on making a single penny more!

Absolutely ruthless!

Xu Dong immediately bowed with clasped hands and said, Lord Qin, please calm your anger! The amount you ask for is too much; I cannot decide on this matter alone, so I must go back and report. Please grant me some time!

Show the guest out! Qin Hui huffed and walked into the inner hall.

Soon after, Xu Dong returned to that mysterious compound and met with the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Division to report the incident.

The Deputy Commander was somewhat dumbfounded after hearing the report: Did Qin Hui really say that? He wouldnt do it for a penny less, preferring mutual destruction over working for us?

Yes, Deputy Commander! Xu Dong bowed.

To become a high official in the court, one must indeed be no ordinary character!

The Deputy Commander nodded and waved his hand, 500,000 taels is indeed a lot, but lets just give it to him! Once hes no longer of any use, I will make sure to swallow him whole and spit out everything with interest!

Yes, Deputy Commander! Xu Dong responded.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Not long after, Xu Dong, carrying 200,000 taels in banknotes, visited Qin Hui again.

Lord Qin, here is 200,000 taels as a deposit. Please accept it with a smile! Once the matter is settled, we will present the remaining 300,000 taels with both hands!

Qin Hui swiftly accepted the banknotes and said, Thats more like it! But to tell you the truth, as an official, my influence in the court is limited, and my words might not have much effect

Rest assured, Lord Qin!

Lord Li, 1 million taels is too much, how about 300,000 taels

Li Linfu waved his hand dismissively, Dont haggle with me, its 1 million taels! And dont bother with any threats because Im not intimidated by them! If it comes to it, Ill just confess to His Majesty and offer up all the gold and jewels Ive embezzled. Remembering our past, His Majesty will surely be lenient!

Xu Dong returned, frustrated, and reported the situation to the Deputy Commander.

The Deputy Commander was dumbfounded!

One wants 500,000 taels!

Another 600,000 taels!

And this one straight-up demands 1 million taels!

The Deputy Commander was very angry: Xu Dong, this Li Linfu is too greedy, shall we find someone else?

Xu Dong gave a wry smile: Deputy Commander, its not easy to replace him! There are only a few people who have a say in the court! And there are only a few people who were both corrupt and have vulnerabilities that we can exploit. If we dont unite every person we can use, well end up failing and losing even more!

You make a very good point, then give him the 1 million! the Deputy Commander said reluctantly.

But, Commander, we only have a little over 2 million taels of silver in our funds. If we give out another million, well be left with almost nothing, what should we do?

Dont worry, I will write to His Majesty right away! Considering our earnest efforts, His Majesty will surely support us generously! Now, continue to lobby others and try to gain more support!

Yes, Deputy Commander!

Next, Xu Dong went to visit Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was more polite and easier to talk to: Those three generals are stubborn and increasingly insubordinate overtime, they indeed need to be taught a lesson! Just give me 1.5 million taels of silver, and Ill help you out!

Xu Dong: F*ck!

You, Cao Aman! (TLN: Derogatory term used to refer to Cao Cao, which means cunning or deceit.)

Not only is your face dark, but so is your heart!

1.5 million taels of silver, you even dare to ask for that out loud!

Xu Dong threatened, Lord Cao, dont forget that we have something on you

Cao Cao threatened back, Xu Dong, dont you forget my position! I am the Vice Minister of War, in charge of all military affairs, and I have the authority to supervise those generals. What I say carries more weight than anyone else!

Before coming to me, you must have secretly visited other officials, right? If you dont give me the money, Ill openly oppose you in court, and well see how you succeed then?

F*ck! Xu Dong trembled with anger.
