    The bright sunshine shines on the gold and silver jewelry in the box, reflecting the dazzling colorful light.  An Rui grabbed the treasures from the box one by one, and put some directly aside, while others were weighed on the scale and then put aside again.  Sophie, Berego and Sam stood across the table, looking at this scene with different eyes.  Playing with a lot of treasures is a pleasant thing in itself, not to mention that Anrui is not just playing around, but paying dividends.  These divided treasures will be shared by everyone in the future, and no one will be left behind.  Last night¡¯s operation was a great success. Not only did they successfully kill Berrent and Sharrod, but they also obtained a box of treasure.  This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Of course, Anrui cannot take it all by himself, otherwise, who will work for him in the future.  When it comes to dividends, Anrui has clear standards in mind. He knows how to divide them, who should be given more and who should be given less.  He plans to divide the treasure he got this time into three large parts.  One part of it is used to manage the local guards to avoid future troubles and prevent the guards from holding him back.  This money must be spent and cannot be saved.  However, the proportion of this money cannot be too large, five hundred gold coins is almost enough.  He wants to keep the second copy for himself and use it to buy the goods he needs to go to sea.  The proportion of this money is roughly equivalent to one-half of what is left after excluding the money to bribe the guards.  The third share is given to the companions. How much money is left will be counted as much, and rewards will be based on the amount of effort and strength.  This time, Sam had the most credit, so he received the most money. Shafi was strong and ranked second. Berego had limited credit and could only be at the bottom.  This distribution method is already very kind. An Rui did not take the bulk of the money, but shared it in half with his companions.  Some greedy maritime merchants or pirate leaders, whenever they make money, keep it all to themselves, often only giving one-tenth to two-tenths of the money to their subordinates.  Regarding the dividend plan, Anrui has already discussed it with its partners, and it has been unanimously approved by everyone, and no one has any objections.  "It's done." An Rui retracted his hands, stretched them out, and looked at his companions opposite with a smile.  In front of him, there were five piles of treasures, the two largest piles, one was used to bribe the guards, the other was for himself, and the remaining three piles were all for his companions.  Looking at the piles of jewelry, the three people across the table were all moved. No one in this world can resist this temptation.  "There is still strength in numbers. If we were alone, none of us would be able to deal with Behrendt's group, but together we are different. It won't take any effort to deal with Berente's group."  What power?" An Rui said sincerely as he looked at the piles of treasures in front of him.  "It's not difficult to deal with them, but we are afraid that the guards will cause us trouble. There was a guard who was following us last night." Shafei said worriedly.  "It's okay, don't worry. I will negotiate with the local guards. I know their policies very well. As long as I give you money, big things can be reduced to small things. And they themselves are also the beneficiaries of this matter. Listen.  "It's said that the local guards have taken over all of Burundt's property." "If you want to negotiate, it's better to hurry up." "Actually, I wanted to negotiate with the captain named Bernie last night, but it was a pity that he was not there at the time.  It's too much, and he doesn't want to talk to me alone in the alley, so I have to give up. I'll send someone to ask him to come over later, and then I'll have a good talk with him." An Rui waved his hand and continued.  He pushed the pile of treasures in front of him forward, "Okay, let's not talk about that for now. You guys should accept the treasures first. Sophie, this is yours, put it in the bag." "Everyone deserves these.  No one was polite about the money. Everyone packed their treasures in bags and everyone was happy.  After dividing the money, Anrui held a banquet to celebrate, and everyone drank happily, more or less, a little bit of wine.  After finishing the meal, Anrui called a waiter, put a letter into the waiter's hand, and asked the waiter to help deliver the letter to Captain Bernie.  The clerk knew that An Rui was generous and would not let his trip go in vain. He accepted the letter with a smile and went out with the letter.  The next thing to do is to wait quietly.  The wait was more than two hours.  More than two hours later, Captain Bernie finally arrived and appeared in front of the hotel.  He came alone and did not bring any extra men, which was what An Rui explicitly requested in his invitation letter.  He was wearing the standard uniform of a guard captain, with a helmet and chainmail on his head. His scarlet cloak swung behind him, shaking like waves as he walked.  An Rui had given instructions a long time ago. When the hotel clerk saw Bernie arriving, he quickly gave guidance and led Bernie toArriving at the room where An Rui was, he arranged for the two to meet.  "Captain Bernie, we meet again." An Rui smiled at Bernie and greeted him.  "Yeah, I didn't expect that I would meet a 'passerby' like you again." Bernie said sarcastically with a sullen face.  "In the situation last night, I couldn't hit the sword by myself. Of course I have to say that. Captain Bernie, please don't take offense. There are only two of us here. There are no outsiders. We can open the skylight and speak frankly, so there is no need to say more  Such a lie last night. " "Very good, I like to hear the truth, I hate to hear lies. Tell me, did you kill Burundt and his men? " "Yes, I did.  I have a grudge against him," An Rui admitted bluntly.  Seeing An Rui agreeing so happily, Bernie was a little surprised and stunned for a moment.  Looking at An Rui's attitude, he is obviously confident.  "Tiebao Port is a place with laws. If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. Don't you know?" Bernie asked in a deep voice.  "Of course I know, but I also know that Iron Cannon Port is a place that pays attention to human touch, and everything is easy to negotiate. As far as I know, the Guards have already taken over Berent's property, and they must have made a lot of benefits from it, right?"  An Rui asked with a smile.  "After Berrent's death, there is no one to take over the property. Naturally, the local government will take over. This is understandable."  Good thing. In this case, why don¡¯t the local guards just relax and forget about this matter?¡± ¡°So many people died overnight, which made people panic. As the guards who manage public security, we can¡¯t take it seriously.  It has never happened. An Rui, what you did this time was too arrogant, and you even bloodbathed Burundt's mansion in front of so many people. Now people outside are talking about it, and the impact is quite bad.  "Bernie said dissatisfied.  The smile on An Rui¡¯s face became even thicker. Making things big was exactly what he wanted. Only in this way could he make a name for himself in Tiepao Port and attract crew members and sailors to work for him.  The shadow of a person's famous tree, things like fame are very important.  As for the consequences caused by this matter, we can always find ways to calm it down.  "Captain Bernie, I won't beat around the bush with you. Just tell me the truth. How can we stop the Guards from pursuing this matter?" An Rui's smile faded and he asked seriously.  "This is exactly what I came here for. Since this is your first offense and you have no previous criminal record, many captains of the guard team and the local admiral decided to give you a chance." Bernie put his hand into his arms,  He took out a parchment scroll, placed it on the table, and spread it out for An Rui to watch.  There are many words written on the parchment, and the title is: Pardon Order.  "The crime you committed this time is very serious. Fortunately, the admiral has the right to pardon your crime. For only one thousand gold coins, this pardon is yours. From now on, your crime will be wiped out and there will be no more  Anyone can pursue this matter." Bernie raised his index finger with a small scar and tapped the pardon order twice, with a hint of lust in his tone.  An Rui¡¯s brows were raised, and this time it was his turn to show dissatisfaction.  The guard's appetite was a bit too big, and he opened his mouth to get a thousand gold coins, which was beyond his expectations and tolerance.  "This pardon is a bit expensive." An Rui shook his head.  "I don't think so. I think the price is very suitable." When Bernie spoke, he leaned forward a little and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Don't think I don't know how much benefit you got this time. I saw it with my own eyes last night.  I saw your man holding a big box. What's in that box? It can't be candy. " "Don't change the subject. We are talking about the pardon order. I am not interested in talking about the box."  Rui deliberately brought the topic back, "A thousand gold coins is indeed a bit expensive, how about three hundred gold coins?" "Who do you think the person standing in front of you is? Is he a beggar? Three hundred gold coins are not enough.  We are the captains of the guard." "Four hundred gold coins." "It seems you didn't understand what I just said." "Six hundred gold coins, this is my bottom line. If you can't accept it, please take it back.  An Rui's face sank and he pointed at the door, "I don't have to ask for this pardon. If the guards want to arrest me, just come. My companions and I are happy to accompany you. I can."  Just as you can dye Burundt's mansion red with blood, you can dye this hotel red with blood!" Bernie's expression became ugly. He didn't expect An Rui to be so stubborn and fall out with him right away!  In fact, the price explained above is only 500 gold coins. The reason why Bernie opened his mouth is just to get more from it.A little benefit.  Unexpectedly, An Rui would not accept this trick at all and fell out with him directly.  An Rui dared to challenge him, the guard captain, which shows that he had full confidence, otherwise how could he dare to be so bold?  Through the bloodbath of the Burundt Mansion last night, Anrui has proven his strength.  As for how strong Anrui is and whether he is a summoner or not, Bernie can't guess yet and can't figure out the details.  If the guards come out in full force, they are really not afraid of An Rui. No matter how strong An Rui is, he cannot surpass all the local guards.  But once a real fight breaks out, the guards will inevitably be damaged, and the damage will definitely be considerable.  Rather than getting to that point, it would be better to just give up and take away the six hundred gold coins directly. In this case, he can earn an extra hundred gold coins, why not?  "Okay. Since you can't come up with that much money, I won't embarrass you. Six hundred gold coins is just six hundred gold coins, as little as possible. After I go back, I will plead with the admiral on your behalf and ask him not to give up.  Let¡¯s pursue this matter again. There¡¯s no need for everyone to get into such a quarrel over a mere Berrent, right?¡± Bernie changed the subject and became much more relaxed.  Most of An Rui's toughness before was actually an act. He just didn't want to be led by Bernie. Now that the other party gave him a step, he no longer tensed up, and his expression immediately changed and he showed his confidence again.  Smile.  "You wait here, I'll go get the money for you right away." An Rui said with a smile.  His harmless appearance was completely different from the way he looked when he was angry just now.
