“What? Captain, you only gave ten taels of silver?” Zhang Ke widened his eyes in disbelief.

“I’m poor; there’s nothing I can do.” Xu Jingming shook his head.

“You should’ve said so earlier.
We could’ve pooled our resources in the platoon,” Zhang Ke said anxiously.
“I told you that Zhao Defang is very greedy.
You have to fork out at least 50 taels for your first visit! It’s best if it’s 100 taels—only then will he be satisfied.”

“I can’t satisfy him,” Xu Jingming said casually.

When Zhang Ke heard that and heard Xu Jingming’s tone, he immediately had a guess. This new captain became a captain the moment he arrived and is so negligent toward the centurion… It looks like he has a backer and isn’t afraid of the centurion.

Xu Jingming naturally wasn’t afraid!

Backing him was Fei Qing! The highest leader of the Blood Rain Guard’s South Wing was Wang Jiuyan! Xu Jingming was aware of the relationship between Fei Qing and Wang Jiuyan.

Moreover… Fei Qing had personally promised that as long as he made a contribution, he would be promoted to centurion! With Fei Qing’s status, there was no need to doubt his credibility.

Would Xu Jingming need to curry favor with a mere centurion?

Give you 50 taels of silver? Hope you have the appetite to take it! My salary is only 50 taels a month. Xu Jingming couldn’t bear to give it to him.
He also didn’t want to embarrass himself, so he only offered ten taels of silver.

Since Zhao Defang didn’t want it, he naturally put it away obediently.

…

“Everyone, I’ll be hosting a banquet at Fragrance Restaurant tonight.
You have to be there.” Xu Jingming warmly invited the captains in the Principales Office.

“Definitely, definitely.”

“When the time comes, there needs to be enough good wine.”

The Blood Rain Guard captains in the Principales Office accepted his invitiation, and Xu Jingming quickly left.

“This Captain Jing has quite the background to be a captain the moment he joins the Blood Rain Guard.”

“Obviously.
We slowly rose up the ranks to captain from being an ordinary Blood Rain Guard.”

“I heard that Centurion Zhao isn’t in a good mood! He specially came to the Principales Office today to wait for Captain Jing to offer him some gifts, but it’s obvious that Centurion Zhao isn’t happy.” As the captains chatted, all the information proved one thing—Captain Jing had a huge backer! He wasn’t afraid of Centurion Zhao!

In the morning, the second floor of the restaurant was booked.

“Our Bravo Platoon has two deputy captains and 30 ordinary Blood Rain Guards.
They are all here today,” Zhang Ke said enthusiastically.

“Captain, this is a gift from us brothers to you.” The other deputy captain, Qian Yan, was a plump man.
He handed over a banknote.

Xu Jingming took a look—it was 50 taels of silver! Furthermore, it didn’t require a passcode.
There were indeed some banknotes that didn’t require one, and anyone who obtained such banknotes could exchange them! They could be used as cash.

But for the sake of safety, large denominations were typically written with a passcode.

“Captain, this is a token of appreciation from the auxiliary guards.” Zhang Ke took out a banknote worth 50 taels of silver.
“Bravo Platoon is in charge of more than 100 auxiliary guards.
The auxiliary guards need to patrol the area, so they have responsibilities.
Therefore, they asked me to pass it on to you.”
