The trip to Linjiang City was brief, lasting only a few days. However, the task assigned by Chu Feng was completed smoothly. Upon returning to Tiandu, Su Han took the opportunity to catch up on sleep in the dormitory while Chu Feng attended the morning court session.
The dormitory was decent, accommodating four people. Now that he had some financial freedom, it was time to consider renting a private residence outside, which would make things much more convenient. After sleeping until dinner time, Su Han was pondering where to find something to eat when Zhou Meng arrived.
The two of them found a small tavern, ordered a few dishes, and requested a pot of wine. Zhou Meng had already opened an account for Su Han at the largest bank in Tiandu and handed him a ledger of silver notes. "Captain Su, here's how I divided the fifty thousand taels of silver: you take forty thousand, and the rest will be shared among us."
"Don't forget to leave a share for Wang Wu," Su Han reminded as he tucked the ledger away. "By the way, Zhou Meng, when you have some free time, could you help me find a place? It would be best if it's close to our Royal Confidential Office."
"That's no problem at all," Zhou Meng replied eagerly, patting his chest.
...
The next morning, Su Han guessed that Chu Feng had returned and hurried to his office after breakfast.
"Back already?" Chu Feng didn't even look up from his work.
"Yes," Su Han replied.
Chu Feng didn't bother asking if the mission was successful; it was unnecessary.
"My Lord Chu, this is for you." Su Han pulled out a silver note from his pocket, stepped forward to place it on Chu Feng's desk, then returned to his original position.
Without glancing at it, Chu Feng asked, "How much did you earn?"
"Reporting to Lord Chu, we received one hundred thousand taels of silver, but we only kept fifty thousand for ourselves," Su Han stated openly.
Finally setting down his pen, Chu Feng crossed his arms over his chest. "You're not greedy and know how to win people's hearts; that's commendable. Being a shadow guard isn't just about executing tasks; you need to think strategically and unite those around you. Although you're just a small team leader, I have high hopes for you."
"Thank you, Lord Chu."
Chu Feng's gaze fell upon the silver note. "This is a personal request, so I can't promote you for it. Here, take this silver note as my thanks."
"I dare not," Su Han quickly stood at attention. "Serving Lord Chu is already a great honor for me. This money is from Boss Lin..."
"I said it's for you, so it's for you," Chu Feng stated firmly. "This is also an order."
Su Han hesitated for a moment but ultimately accepted the silver note.
Indeed, while Chu Feng had a fondness for women, he was not greedy for wealth. Setting aside other matters, in the impending chaotic times, he and his command of the Royal Confidential Office had done much for the country and its people, making numerous sacrifices.
Chu Feng stood up and paced back and forth to stretch his muscles. "Xiao Su, I know you're clever, but impersonating the Rebel Army should only be done occasionally. If overdone and it leaks out, it could lead to trouble."
"Yes, yes, I will keep that in mind. The situation was urgent at that time; I had no other choice."
"Alright, there's nothing else. You may leave."
"Understood, I take my leave."
As Su Han reached the door, he suddenly heard Chu Feng's voice behind him:
"The fruits of the Imperial Garden are the fruits of the Imperial Garden; the wild fruits in the mountains are wild fruits. They must not be confused."
Su Han's heart sank. "Understood, Lord Chu."
He then composed himself and walked out.
You bastard Lin Yu!
I gave you a chance, and you still betrayed me?
You dog!
