I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 188 Distributing the spoils

It was not until it was getting dark that everyone took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and entered the same dilapidated temple beside the official road. Gu Wenxuan then greeted Gu Yongming and others with a smile.

During this day, none of them was idle, and they were always observing whether there were any suspicious people in front and behind them.

After making sure that no one was following them, Gu Wenxuan decided to gather together with everyone tonight.

After greeting each other, Gu Wenxuan prepared to spend the night in the ruined temple with everyone, and also talked to everyone about the distribution of their spoils.

"Those things have been dealt with. Including the cash and gold leaves we brought out from the bandit's den, the total amount of silver we obtained is 2,326 taels and 8 cents."

"In addition, Jingzhou and I also left behind two pieces of jade seeds, two inkstones, and some books, calligraphy, brushes, ink, and paper. In addition, there are the three cows that you were reluctant to sell, and the three matching vehicles."

"Based on how much each of us has contributed, I plan to give half to the fifteen of you, and then Jingzhou and I will split the remaining half. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads, "No." "Just divide it according to your decision." "We are already getting a great deal by taking these."

The most dangerous work was done by Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou. All the information and medicines were provided by Bai Jingzhou. In addition, the two also paid for their food and accommodation along the way.

It is precisely because they are the first to take the lead in everything that they can simply work hard.

Gu Wenxuan nodded to everyone and said, "Then I will tell you the details of the allocation."

"The two inkstones and the books, calligraphy, brushes, ink and paper are roughly estimated to be worth more than 200 taels. Jingzhou and I will each take half of these things."

"Two pieces of jade seed material, one large and one small. A rough estimate is that the price should be around eighty taels and one hundred taels. Is anyone willing to take them?"

Everyone, including Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi, shook their heads.

Gu Wenxuan touched her nose and said, "Okay, then Jingzhou and I will take it."

"As for the three cows and the three carts, whoever wants them can raise his hand. For those who don't get them, I will give them thirty-five taels of silver each."

"It's okay if neither of you want them. I can convert them into my and Jingzhou's share at the price of thirty-five taels."

Thirty-five taels was enough for people who couldn't afford an ox or a cart to go to the town or county and buy an ox and a wooden cart.

The Fang family members and Bai Jingshan looked at each other, and then had a few harmonious and friendly negotiations. Finally, the three cows and three carts were claimed by Bai Jingshan, Fang Dashan, and Fang Dahe respectively.

At this point, the value of the spoils obtained by Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou was about four hundred taels, and the value of the spoils obtained by Bai Jingshan, Fang Dashan, and Fang Dahe was about thirty-five taels.

According to the distribution ratio agreed upon before, except for Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou's fifteen people, each person should get ninety-four taels and four cents of silver.

According to this amount, the chief financial officer Bai Jingzhou gave 59 taels and 4 qian of silver to each of the three people who got the ox and the wooden cart, and the others got 94 taels and 4 qian of silver.

As for him and Gu Wenxuan, including jade, inkstones, books, calligraphy, pens, ink and paper, they each received a total of more than 700 taels.

In addition, Bai Jingzhou also received a thank-you gift and medical fees from Mr. Hong Si.

He gave some of the thank-you gifts to other people, but gave all the medical fees to Gu Wenxuan for safekeeping.

It is worth mentioning that he also gave his share of the spoils to Gu Wenxuan for safekeeping.

He was so self-aware that Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi, Gu Wenxuan's parents, couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Especially when they saw that Gu Wenxuan didn't even hesitate at all, and directly accepted the spoils that belonged to Bai Jingzhou as if it was a matter of course and as if it was commonplace, they felt even more guilty.

That's more than 700 taels. If Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi knew about this, they wouldn't know how to apologize so that they wouldn't mind...

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou had no idea what the couple was thinking. They were just smiling as they watched the Fang family, Bai Jingshan and Ning Qirui laughing together.

They had only been away from home for ten days or so and done some hard work, but each of them received ninety-four taels and four cents of silver!

The group of people were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. While working, they were also discussing how they would spend the money.

Hearing this, Bai Jingzhou had no choice but to pour cold water on these overjoyed companions.

He reminded them, "These bandits have been entrenched there for so long, and their weapons are the same as those of the army. In addition, only a very small part of the looted property remains, and the rest has all disappeared. Their mastermind must be a high-ranking official or general."

"We have cut off their source of income this time. They will definitely try every means to find us."

"If you don't want to bring disaster to yourself, your family, or even the entire Baijia Village, please keep this matter to yourself and don't reveal it to anyone."

Gu Wenxuan added, "Jingzhou is right. The more people know, the greater the risk of leaks. No matter how much you trust someone, even if they are your grandparents, parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters, don't tell them a word."

"Don't be so optimistic that you can ask them to keep it a secret and then tell them. If you can do that, they can do that too. If you spread the word, it will become a secret no longer."

After all, everyone has a few people who they think are trustworthy and worth sharing secrets with. You think it's okay to tell this person, he/she thinks it's okay to tell that person, and that person thinks it's okay to tell other people. So the final result is that this matter will be spread rapidly by others at lightning speed.

Upon hearing this, everyone restrained their previous excitement, put away their smiles, and nodded vigorously at the two.

"Don't worry, we all know the severity of the matter."

"Yeah, we definitely won't tell anyone about this."

"That's right. Even if we talk in our sleep, we will never tell anyone about this."

"We'll pretend this never happened."

"..."

Gu Wenxuan nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

She didn't choose people randomly this time. The four brothers of Fang Dashan were people her family knew quite well, and she knew that they were all men of their word.

Apart from them and her parents, everyone else was someone she was willing to put in a lot of effort to teach martial arts to and to help her get rich.

All of these people were of good character and solid foundation. If they had not experienced so little and were not sufficiently vigilant, she and Bai Jingzhou would not have had to make long speeches, explaining the seriousness of the matter in detail to them, while also repeatedly reminding them to keep their mouths shut.
